After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 289 Going to the Dragon Clan

After leaving the secret realm, Lu Qinghuai flew for several days before returning to the ground.

Feng Heyue was eating noodles at the place where the two of them had originally agreed to meet.

Seeing this guy with his legs spread wide, eating with great relish, Lu Qinghuai was furious.

"Is the noodles from the human world delicious?"

He plopped down opposite Feng Heyue, and his words startled her so much that she choked on her noodles and coughed loudly.

Lu Qinghuai handed her water with a look of disgust.

Feng Heyue gulped down more than half a bottle before calming down.

She avoided Lu Qinghuai's gaze somewhat guiltily and said in a low, hesitant voice, "You're finally here. I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past two days..."

“Speak like a human being,” Lu Qinghuai interrupted, closing his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, I was delayed by something. The secret realm was already closed when I got here."

The secret realm of the Dragon Prison Sea can only be freely entered and exited one hour before the first day and one hour before the last day. Therefore, many cultivators wait at the entrance of the secret realm early, fearing that they will miss the best time to enter.

Lu Qinghuai sneered, "You were the one who suggested coming."

Feng Heyue felt her head lower and lower, almost touching the ground as Lu Qinghuai calmly questioned her.

That's right. Not long ago, she and her sister Feng Chao emerged from a hundred-year seclusion only to discover that the human realm had been invaded by demons, and that a continent had already fallen.

Feng Chao was shocked and immediately went to find Emperor Shangshan, only to find that he was in very poor condition.

According to my sister, upon seeing her arrive, the Emperor's face first showed a hint of relief, then turned worried again.

Feng Chao even felt that the Emperor seemed to be clinging to life on his deathbed, waiting for her to come to him.

"The Emperor is powerless to act." These were the words my sister had said to me at the time.

“He only said one sentence to me before fainting.” Feng Chao’s face was full of worry. “The situation is quite serious. It seems he won’t wake up anytime soon. I need to lead the troops to guard this place and stabilize the situation.”

“Heyue, before the Emperor fainted, he only said three words—'Go to the Dragon Clan.'” Her sister encouraged her with expectant eyes. “You have been in seclusion with me for hundreds of years, and your magical power has already made a qualitative breakthrough. Our era is about to pass. Next, it will be up to you young people.”

So, her sister entrusted her with the task of going to the Dragon Clan.

The phrase "going to the Dragon Clan" alone does not convey all the information.

Moreover, as far as Feng Heyue knew, the Dragon Clan was wiped out by the Upper Realm in ancient times. If she really wanted to go there, she could only find the Dragon Imprisonment Sea from back then.

Coincidentally, among the information she gathered was a story about a secret realm appearing in the Imprisoned Dragon Sea nearly two hundred years ago.

Perhaps it's not a coincidence.

So she went to find Lu Qinghuai, who had also just finished his seclusion and was completely absorbed in his herbal research, oblivious to everything else.

After making some plans, the two agreed to go together on the day the secret realm opened.

Unfortunately, she overslept.

She couldn't understand how she could have overslept for something so important!

After a brief moment of annoyance, Feng Heyue made a quick decision and went to eat noodles first.

It's been a long time since I've been to the human realm. I wonder if the noodles here still taste the same as they used to...

However, the truth cannot be revealed.

Telling the truth would only lead to Lu Qinghuai killing him.

So she had to make up a well-intentioned reason.

Clearly, Lu Qinghuai wasn't buying it.

After all, they were classmates and worked together in the Heavenly Realm for many years. Lu Qinghuai was already used to Feng Heyue's carefree nature.

"So, have you noticed anything wrong?" Feng Heyue quickly changed the subject.

"The secret realm is alright." Lu Qinghuai glanced at her, too lazy to argue anymore.

"It's an abandoned ancient ruin, which should have been left behind by the dragon clan back then, but there's something strange about it."

"What's strange?" Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Feng Heyue quickly leaned closer to ask. Lu Qinghuai hesitated for a moment, then looked into Feng Heyue's eyes and said, "Do you still remember Meng San?"

Feng Heyue was slightly taken aback, then suddenly stood up.

Who are you talking about?

The customers in the noodle shop all cast curious glances their way.

Lu Qinghuai was startled and quickly pulled her down.

Have you seen him?

After sitting down, Feng Heyue continued to ask questions.

When Meng San left Xuwu Mountain, she had to go back to the Heavenly Realm with her sister. By the time she learned the truth, it was too late.

For so many years, she has been filled with regret, regretting that she should have stayed by Meng San's side back then. He slaughtered so many people all by himself; how much anger must he have felt?

I didn't see him.

Lu Qinghuai's words instantly extinguished her expectations.

Feng Heyue felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her heart, leaving her feeling instantly chilled.

"Hey Lu, do you know how painful it is to be disappointed?"

“But I saw a woman who looked very similar to him,” Lu Qinghuai continued.

"A woman who looks almost identical?" Feng Heyue frowned. "Could it be that this guy just disguised himself on a whim?"

But then I thought about Meng San's carefree personality and her dressing up as a woman, and I suddenly felt a chill.

Lu Qinghuai also fell silent.

"Another bowl of noodles, please!"

Suddenly, Feng Heyue shouted, startling Lu Qinghuai.

"You're still not full?!" Lu Qinghuai was taken aback when he saw the pile of large bowls stacked on the table.

"I need to be full before I can think about things."

The noodles were served, and Feng Heyue couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick and stuff it into her mouth, then ate with gusto once again.

This time, even Lu Qinghuai was a little envious.

So, in a corner of the noodle shop, two celestial beings who had long since abstained from grains were happily eating, one bite after another.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Feng Heyue looked into Lu Qinghuai's eyes and suddenly asked, "Tell me... what did the Great Emperor tell my sister to go to the Dragon Clan to find?"

Lu Qinghuai read a bold guess in her eyes, but he found it utterly absurd.

"Where is she?" Feng Heyue continued, "That woman who looks like Meng San?"

At this point, Lu Qinghuai coughed twice and turned his gaze away from Feng Heyue.

"After we left the secret realm, we parted ways."

"Such an important person, why aren't you following?" Feng Heyue immediately wanted to slam her hand on the table.

This time, Lu Qinghuai didn't stop her, but rather looked somewhat helpless.

Perhaps because he had asked too many questions along the way, the woman became quite impatient, so as soon as she left the secret realm, she tried to shake him off.

Before leaving the secret realm, she seemed to have asked the quick-witted girl named Tu Feifei about something, and because she suspected her own motives, she deliberately avoided him.

Perhaps if she hadn't been so persistent, the person she asked would have been herself, who clearly had more cultivation experience.

Unfortunately, what Meng San did back then was too big, leaving a deep impression on him when he was young.

This makes him inevitably lose his composure when he sees someone who resembles him.

He gulped down a cup of tea, and through the open window, his gaze drifted to the sky, lost in thought.

It's unknown whether Meng San is still with that girl named Tu Feifei.
