The Spirit World

Chapter 439 Looking for Huang Ying

Yesterday Bai Ling
Chang Yufeng got off the bed, the pain in his feet pressing down on his toes almost causing him to fall over.

Xiao Lan came to help him up, Ju Junyi was startled beside him, and even Xiao Qingshan swung his fan, and a gust of wind seemed to blow on Chang Yufeng's body, making him stand up immediately, and he staggered and straightened his body.

He looked like a gloomy old man, and the scars above his collarbone looked like two flesh-colored round holes.

"My mind has never been so calm before. I seem to be on the edge of everything. What I want to do is not clear, and there are very few things I want to do. I have never really seen big storms. I am more like a child who is still wet behind the ears. I am doing things entirely based on some kind of guidance from somewhere. This feeling is just my own wishful thinking. I have a relatively clear understanding of the matter of living. However, it is precisely because of this that my responsibility and ambition are not given by heaven, but forced upon me."

"Young Master, you must not give up on yourself." Xiao Qingshan looked relieved. He stroked his beard and thought as he waved his feather fan. "It is said that those who are in a position should do their job. If the world situation turns around, you must make a choice between yourself and your country."

Xiao Qingshan sighed: "I am already in my twilight years, while the young master is so young. It is indeed a rare thing to know one's own virtues in life, but one cannot replace things with oneself. When you see a mountain, you know that it is tall and straight; when you see a bend, you know that it is complete. But people can make choices, and they must make choices."

“As for matters in the world, it is always best to prepare for a rainy day.”

Xiao Qingshan laughed again: "However, if the Young Master really has no intention of accepting Bai Ling, I will naturally not force you to do so. But where would the Young Master be willing to go after leaving Bai Ling Mountain?"

Chang Yufeng understood what Xiao Qingshan meant. What Lan Luo had done this time forced the five major families to unite again, but this was just wishful thinking.

Xiao Qingshan wanted to make the connection himself because he had a clean background and had no other requests. He inherited the good deeds of his ancestors and bore the sufferings of the people of the world. His motives were pure enough. He was in charge of the Wutong Division and had the imperial power behind him. Once this connection was made, Xiao Qingshan would save himself a lot of trouble, but Xiao Qingshan was just preparing for a rainy day.

Because Lan Luo did not make any big moves, there was no news from her after she appeared at the Tower of Babel.

Heroes from all over the world flocked to Longzhong City, but not all of them came to fight Lan Luo to the death...

It was mostly for fun. No one had ever seen the Tower of Babel, and no one had ever really seen the inside of the Demon Sealed Well. At least that's what everyone thought.

Xiao Qingshan prepared for a rainy day. Even if Lan Luo did not take any action, he could unite the talented people of the five major families and rely on the handed down artifacts to issue an early warning.

Chang Yufeng naturally understood it in his heart, but he couldn't accept it himself and perhaps he backed off a little.

He didn't know how to deal with everything Lan Luo showed him.

His feelings towards Lan Luo also became tangled. Even though Xun Huangying had abandoned him, he was not sure what his current state was. Even his mother's arrangement and everything about the book... were another mystery...

If he wants to accept the truth, he must get closer to the truth instead of accepting arrangements.

In other words, he is no longer a puppet...

It was cruel to say that his current position was like standing at a crossroads. He knew that every choice he made would lead to a road of no return...

He couldn't make a rash choice without fully understanding the situation.

What he lost was nothing but the truth...

"At the end of the world, at the corner of the sea, there is no one else like him."

Chang Yufeng said softly, like the rhythm of a song: "I really want to, really want to see what the world I live in is like... so that it won't be a wasted trip."

"Me! I want to too!" Jun'ichi Tachibana raised his hands excitedly and jumped up like a little kid.

Xiao Lan said nothing and turned the big book in his hand into nothingness.

"Well... if the young master's heart is elsewhere, how can Qingshan be restrained?... This time, I just want to tell the young master one thing. I will be by your side." Xiao Qingshan seemed to no longer persuade him, or maybe he knew a lot and had never persuaded anyone. All the words he said and the choice were in Chang Yufeng's hands.

He spoke in an elegant and graceful manner, gently waving a feather fan, and was quite sensible.

"Please speak..." Chang Yufeng bowed slightly to Xiao Qingshan.

“There is a strange bird in the mountains. If it doesn’t sing, it will be amazing when it does!”

"Please teach me..."

Without waiting for Chang Yufeng to bow again, Xiao Qingshan walked away lightly: "Young Master, please have a good rest. I will prepare a horse and a sword to send you off to the ends of the earth."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Chang Yufeng looked at his back. This was the first time he felt that what he said was understood. It was even possible that Xiao Qingshan understood it without him even saying much.

Xiao Qingshan waved a feather fan behind him, as if saying goodbye.

Who would have thought that this was the last time Chang Yufeng saw Xiao Qingshan. The next time Chang Yufeng knew Xiao Qingshan was when Xiao Qingshan was given a state funeral by the Prime Minister.

But that was a story for the future. Now Xiao Qingshan's aunt - the word makes people feel scared - Xiao Qingshan is already very old, while his aunt is still young and lives and eats with Bai Lingshan's disciples.

After failing to survive the catastrophe a hundred years ago, her appearance has never changed.
It has the flavor of a young girl, but it is all natural, without any sense of artificiality.

She must have known her own identity, but she never felt strange about it and never confused herself with others.

Chang Yufeng just thought it was strange. Although this person couldn't be said to have been struck in the head by lightning, he was quite natural this time, so he was kind of cute.

"Just let me travel around the world with you! How great! I'm not picky about food!" Tachibana Junichi sat on the bench in the store. Chang Yufeng said nothing. He held the spoon and didn't eat a single wonton. He really didn't know what to say to her and felt a little helpless.

I never expected this to happen...

"Miss Ju... It's not that my little master doesn't want to take you with him. You said you have it so good in Bailing Mountain... You have food and shelter... If you stay with us, you will have to sleep in the open air. Don't say you are not picky about food. Even if we kill a ferocious beast to eat, we will still eat it, even if it is bitter meat..." Xiaolan took a towel to help Ju Junyi dry her hair and rubbed her hair.
"Meat can be bitter? I don't believe it..." Ju Junyi snorted and turned his face away: "If you don't want to take me, then don't take me... I'll go back to Bailing Mountain and kill myself... Anyway, I'm tired of that place..."

"Young master..." Xiao Lan looked at Chang Yufeng aggrievedly. Chang Yufeng glanced at the old men and women who were watching and felt that his face was still a little blushing... The old men and women giggled, as if they had encountered something interesting.

"Hey, young man, you said you are from the same school. It's such a great thing to have a girl willing to follow you around the country. You should have cherished her earlier!" The old man drank tea and squinted at Chang Yufeng.

"Yes... what a good girl... so lively... don't let the little girl be sad." The grandmother also agreed. She only had a few teeth left, and her speech was a little lisp...

Chang Yufeng smiled and said, "The little girl... isn't really a little girl anymore..."

But I can’t say she’s not a little girl…

"I don't know what to do... To be honest, what we have to do is equivalent to wandering... Even though Xiaolan has gold coins, it is definitely not enough to spend on accommodation. What's more, we are like bamboo sections, and we will go wherever we go today... Who said where to go specifically..." Chang Yufeng looked at Tachibana Junyi helplessly, and finally put a wonton into his mouth and chewed it gently.

"What's wrong with suffering...People who practice Taoism are the least afraid of suffering...Although I don't have a spiritual power now, I am very good at enduring hardships!" Tachibana Jun'ichi raised his head proudly, as if he had really said something great.

"Oh? Really?" Xiao Lan made a strange sound of agreement. She laughed: "Miss Ju, tell me about it... If you really have a very bitter experience, the little master may not be afraid of you suffering..."

"Just tell me, huh, I once fasted in the study for seven days and seven nights! I didn't eat or drink a drop of water!" Tachibana Jun'ichi held his head high and chest puffed out, it was amazing.

"Wow, the hardships along the way are hardly as severe as not eating for seven days and seven nights!" Xiao Lan seemed very happy. She circled around Ju Jun and slowly helped her wipe the water droplets off her neck.

"This... how can it be compared... Bailing Mountain is a comfortable home... Leaving Bailing Mountain is like leaving the comfortable home, how can this be compared to the fasting..."

Chang Yufeng bit into the wonton, which had some shredded meat and very small chopped green onions.

"Miss Tachibana, why are you fasting?" Xiaolan brushed Junichi Tachibana's neck with a towel as if holding a brush. "Because I use dead rats to cook... I thought rat soup was also a delicacy..."

"puff……"

With a clang, Chang Yufeng's spoon fell into the bowl... He tried to pick up the small handle, but the handle fell into the bowl like a stone sinking into the sea, with a white, wrinkled wonton inadvertently sticking out of the spoon.

"What's wrong? I didn't give it to anyone... I gave it to my mentor's mount."

"Oh my God... That instructor must love his mount so much..." Chang Yufeng sighed and wiped his mouth slowly.

"Hehehahahaha... I think it's quite interesting..." Xiaolan laughed at this time, and gently patted Junichi Tachibana's hair with a towel as if she was brushing off dust.

"Xiao Lan... I don't want to eat anymore... Let's hurry up and leave... After leaving Bailing City, the next stop is Qingfeng City. I want to go to the gate of Qingfeng Mountain to take a look..."

"Okay! Little master!" Xiao Lan grabbed Junyi's hand and put the towel in her hand, then flew to the counter.

Chang Yufeng looked at Tachibana Junyi with some resentment, and at this moment he was both angry and amused...

I was angry that this person was fearless and escaped from Bailing Mountain. I was also amused that this person wanted to travel around the world for no reason and had no means of self-protection...

"What? Even if you don't want me to follow you, I will follow you secretly, unless you can fly..." Junyi Tachibana was fixing her hair by herself. She was also wearing a large coat with long feathers.

She has good facial features and is a bit mischievous, which makes her cute when you think about it...

"Of course I believe you can do it, but I need you to tell me what you want to do... Let alone wandering around the world, I don't even want to do that... let alone others, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life..."

Chang Yufeng looked at her seriously.

Yes, it is understandable what a woman like this, who seems to be very opinionated, would do, but if you say that she is willing to suffer like a ronin, I don’t believe it at all.

So, Chang Yufeng wondered again why she was willing to do this.

"Hehe, I knew you didn't want to run around. Who wants to suffer, right... I've already heard what you and Qingshan were saying. You want to finish your own thing first, right?" Jun'ichi Tachibana tilted his head and put down the towel.

"Well... I won't keep you in suspense... Just like you said, I didn't agree to the Prime Minister because I wanted to complete my own business..." Chang Yufeng answered straightforwardly, and there was nothing to hide.

"Then I'm going to do my own thing, and this thing requires me to follow you!" Ju Junyi pointed at Chang Yufeng, who stood up in awe and sat upright.

"You said."

"I'm going to get revenge! Xiao Lan said you know that Xun Huangying! That little brat! I'm going to beat him up! Let him know how powerful I am!"

As soon as Tachibana Jun'ichi said this, Chang Yufeng's eyes became solemn and he subconsciously slapped the table.

"Impossible! You'd better go back! I can't find the person you mentioned. It's a pipe dream for you to seek revenge on her!"

Ju Junyi was a little surprised at Chang Yufeng's change, and waved his hand and said: "You know Xun Huangying, so you must have a good relationship with him. Don't worry, I will spank him three times, and after three spanks, all the grudges will be written off. It's okay! Don't worry... I won't do anything to your friend!"

"Impossible, you should go back..." Chang Yufeng coughed, regained his composure, and became calm: "Xun Huangying is not someone you can afford to offend, or even meet... It's better not to waste it..."

It would be better if I lost my life in vain.

"White...what?" Junyi Ju asked in confusion. Seeing Chang Yufeng recover, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wasted all the wontons..." Chang Yufeng sighed: "Your revenge really shocked me... If you want, I can apologize to you on behalf of Xun Huangying..."

"I don't want your apology... You are you and he is him. Besides, if I spank you, won't I be so embarrassed?" Tachibana Junyi crossed her arms. The black clothes didn't match her petite body, but she was also rich and delicate.

"Why do you have to spank him?" Chang Yufeng was puzzled: "I can take the punishment for him, you can do whatever you want to him, but don't follow me to find Huang Ying."

"No, my soul is shattered, and the doctor said it can't be repaired. If you take over, who will ask me to take over? No, no." Tachibana Junyi shook his head fiercely, refusing to compromise: "If you really want to help me, or take over for Xun Huangying, and you said you want me to do whatever I want with you, then just take me to find that stinky brat Xun Huangying!"

"But this is not possible." Chang Yufeng naturally knew Xun Huangying's character, but this was the only thing he couldn't agree to.

There is no reason, just to prevent her from dying.

Xun Huangying suddenly got inspired and might just wipe her out with a wave of his hand...

"Hmph, keep talking nonsense!" Tachibana Jun'ichi turned his face away with disdain. When he said the swear words, it was probably because he was really angry.

Xiao Lan flew over and had been listening. When she heard this, she seemed to freeze. She hurriedly said, "But my little master is not going to look for Master Xun Huangying... Besides, even if he went to look for him, you would have to wait. Why did you follow him now... Miss Ju, don't you agree?"

"Hmph, I don't care. Where can I find you then? Chang Yufeng! You have to be responsible for me!" Ju Chun looked at Chang Yufeng angrily.

Chang Yufeng looked at her.

It feels like they are staring at each other.

This feeling of confusion is quite unreasonable... But it seems that I am right and I can't find any reason to refute it.

Seeing that Chang Yufeng was silent and unwilling to agree, Xiao Lan suddenly thought of the times when Chang Yufeng and Xun Huangying would quarrel like this, and she couldn't help feeling filled with emotion.

It is said that if we are destined to meet, we will meet...

She had a 100% premonition that the young master and Xun Huangying would definitely meet again...

"How about this? Three rules... Although you can follow the young master, you can't mention the matter of Lord Xun Huangying. You can only find Lord Xun Huangying when my young master wants to go find Lord Xun Huangying, okay?" Xiao Lan blinked and looked at Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng knew that this was a way out given by Xiao Lan, but if it were in the past, he would definitely not agree to someone looking for Huang Ying and spanking him even if the sky fell... Such an absurd and crazy thing...

"Sure... I'm not in a hurry! We'll have to fight sooner or later!" Jun'ichi Tachibana accepted it happily.

Chang Yufeng looked at her, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.

"If you're willing to wait, I don't mind either..." Chang Yufeng looked at the wontons that he had not finished eating.

The clear soup created ripples.

"Okay, okay, then everyone is happy!" Xiao Lan clapped her hands.

"Before going to Qingfeng City, I have to go to several places in Bailing City..." Chang Yufeng sighed helplessly.

"Okay... let's go now!" Junichi Tachibana grabbed the towel and threw it on the chair again.

"Where are you going, little master?"

"Li Mansion..."
