The Young Swordsman: The Taoist Priest of Qingcheng Has Descended the Mountain

Tang Lian said helplessly, "That's perfect. I'll report to my third master right now. You must have run away without his permission."

Sikong Qianluo was seething with hatred; this time, she had indeed sneaked out.

I'm so bored staying in Snowmoon City all day.

But before she could continue arguing, a figure suddenly caught her eye out of the corner of her eye.

Sikong Qianluo suddenly realized what was happening, and immediately cried out in surprise, shrinking behind Tang Lian.

"Senior brother, there's a ghost!"

Tang Lian knew Sikong Qianluo's personality well; she was fearless and had never seen her so frightened before, so she couldn't help but be curious.

Following her directions, I was slightly taken aback.

Under the moonlight, a figure in a green robe stood, his feet untouched by dust, leaving no trace in the snow.

Lei Wujie, who was standing to the side, had already rushed up excitedly.

"Senior, what a coincidence! What brings you here?"

Xiao Se rolled his eyes: "You blockhead, this is no coincidence. It's more likely that this person has never left."

Tang Lian frowned.

"Brother Xiao, do you know each other?"

"Oh? It seems Brother Tang has met this person before?"

Tang Lian nodded, still feeling somewhat puzzled as she recalled her encounter with this person at Hanshui Temple.

"Senior Brother, you know him? He... he's not a ghost?"

Even the naive Sikong Qianluo realized at this moment that she had been tricked.

Judging from the behavior of the senior brother and the others, it's obvious that they know the guy who tricked them.

It's not like he said; nobody saw him for thirty years.

"He is certainly not a ghost. Where in this world are there ghosts?"

But you, was he the one who came with you?

Enraged, Sikong Qianluo grabbed her gun and charged forward.

Tang Lian was startled and was about to stop him, but Xiao Se stopped her.

"Brother Tang, don't be in a hurry, let's wait and see."

Tang Lian was slightly annoyed. This was her third master's precious daughter. If she was bullied in front of him, how could she explain it when she got back?

Furthermore, as the senior disciple, protecting his junior brothers and sisters is something ingrained in his bones.

But this time, for some reason, he agreed with Xiao Se's words.

Naturally, it depends on the strength of the person in front of you.

Sikong Qianluo was able to endure hardship and had practiced martial arts since childhood. Her strength was only slightly inferior to Tang Lian's.

Among the younger generation, they are definitely among the best.

"You wicked person! I meant well, but you tricked me! Take this!"

Before Lei Wujie could react, he felt a sudden lightness in his body, and he was thrown in front of Xiao Se.

He stumbled, and Xiao Se reached out to steady him.

"what's the situation?

Why did my senior sister get into a fight with the senior?

Tang Lian sighed, feeling that she had experienced more helplessness today than in her entire life.

"You haven't formally become an apprentice yet, so there's no need to address me as a senior brother or sister."

Lei Wujie clearly didn't care about this, and waved his hand dismissively: "Understood, Senior Brother Tang Lian."

Tang Lian was so angry she almost laughed, and even Xiao Se couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Zhenhuan nodded as he watched Sikong Qianluo's spear strikes move like a dragon, her inner strength flowing smoothly.

Alright, the unassuming Sikong Changfeng is actually quite serious about teaching his daughter.

Sikong Qianluo's spear struck Zhou Huanzhen's shoulder with pinpoint accuracy.

Zhou Zhenhuan neither dodged nor dodged, nor did he show any intention of resisting.

A hint of panic flashed in Sikong Qianluo's eyes. The gun was originally aimed at Zhou Zhenhuan's heart, but when she noticed that Zhou Zhenhuan did not dodge or flinch, it was deflected by a few inches. Clearly, she had shown mercy and did not really intend to kill Zhou Zhenhuan.

"You...you, why didn't you dodge?"

Sikong Qianluo was somewhat at a loss. She threw the gun aside and hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to help Zhou Zhenhuan bandage his wound.

Zhou Zhenhuan then let out a scream in response.

"It was indeed wrong of me to tease the girl before. Letting you prick me will help me vent my anger."

Mr. Zhou apologized to the girl here.

Xiao Se, Lei Wujie, and Tang Lian looked at each other, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.

Senior, you've gone a bit too far with this, you've practically flooded the ocean with water!

You're such a master, pretending to be pitiful to fool young girls, don't you have a conscience?

(Thank you all for your support. I'm flattered to have received some comments. Please feel free to share your thoughts; I'm usually very receptive.)

Chapter 12 A Room Full of Good-Looking People

It was still a dilapidated temple in the snow, but there were no accidents, and the story was unfolding.

The campfire was relit, and several people sat around it.

Lei Wujie vividly recounted his experiences with Xiao Se along the way, including how they went the wrong way twice, how Xiao Se was greedy and stingy, and how he always praised his horse.

I think Xiao Se shouldn't be an innkeeper; he should be raising horses.

Sikong Qianluo sat next to Zhou Huanzhen with a guilty look on her face, occasionally stealing glances at his profile.

But in his heart he was thinking that he was indeed in the wrong tonight, and that he should control his temper in the future.

Through the various accounts of the group, Sikong Qianluo had already come to realize that this seemingly lazy fellow was anything but weak.

At least it doesn't sound like it.

Besides, he's so young, he doesn't look like a senior at all.

After listening to Lei Wujie's rambling explanations, Zhou Zhenhuan clapped his hands in a very supportive manner.

"I never imagined that your experience would be so wonderful in just a few days."

It seems you've been through a fierce battle.

"The Underworld Marquis and Moon Princess have been famous for a long time, yet you two have managed to fight them to a standstill. I'm quite impressed."

Xiao Se chuckled and glanced at Zhou Zhenhuan: "Senior Zhou, you'd better not include me in this. I'm a cripple now."

There's just one strange thing.

When Minghou Yueji came to her door, she was injured.

And this injury is also somewhat strange.

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Zhenhuan meaningfully, as if trying to discern something from his expression.

He was once a genius in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, with a keen eye for talent.

If it weren't for Minghou Yueji's injury, they would have had a very difficult time escaping unscathed today.

The appearance of this person was truly strange, and he had met all three of them before.

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

One thing is certain: this person is indeed a master from Mount Qingcheng.

Moreover, he should be following the path of Taoist cultivation.

The people who cultivate the Dao at Qingcheng Mountain are all a bit mystical, but they don't do anything inexplicable or without reason.

So, first he met Tang Lian, then he coincidentally encountered Lei Wujie, and then he arrived at his Snow Moon Manor.

Is it really a coincidence that we've all gathered here today?

For no apparent reason, he remembered what this person had said before: fate has begun.

So, what did he foresee?

For a moment, Xiao Se felt a mix of emotions.

Zhou Zhenhuan's smile remained unchanged, his gaze still as gentle and calm as spring water.

He just looked at Xiao Se and smiled, without saying a word or denying anything.

Tang Lian looked at the two of them, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhou Zhenhuan secretly sighed, "They're all shrewd people."

Of course, there was also the carefree Lei Wujie standing to the side, and Sikong Qianluo, who kept glancing at him while lost in thought.

It seems we've exhausted all the topics.

Even Lei Wujie lowered his voice.

Inside the dilapidated temple, only the howling wind stirred the bonfire, casting mysterious patterns on the walls.

"Alright, you're all injured, get some rest."

Tonight, just relax.

Zhou Zhenhuan yawned, and Sikong Qianluo followed suit.

Then, under the strange gazes of the other three, Sikong Qianluo glared back defiantly.

"What are you looking at? Don't you know yawning is contagious? Humph! I'm going out for some fresh air."

Tang Lian and Xiao Se looked at Zhou Huanzhen with strange expressions.

Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?

Tang Lian sighed again, having lost count of how many times she had sighed that day.

This escort mission has really put him through a lot, and he feels that the road ahead is even more difficult.

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "Thank you for your trouble, senior."

Xiao Se looked towards the backyard: "Brother Tang, did you leave something in the backyard?"

Tang Lian was slightly taken aback, and then heard Sikong Qianluo shout angrily.

"Who's lurking around like that? Show yourself to me!"

Tang Lian rushed out immediately, and the second one to rush out was Lei Wujie. This kid was full of energy when he heard that there seemed to be a fight going to happen.

Only Zhou Zhenhuan and Xiao Se slowly stood up and slowly walked out.

The snow in the sky has stopped.

Sikong Qianluo stood on the rooftop, holding a gun in one hand, looking somewhat unwilling.

"Senior sister, what happened?"

During their previous conversation, they had already revealed their identities to each other. Sikong Qianluo naturally knew that Lei Wujie was a disciple of Lei Family Fortress and was going to Snow Moon City to become an apprentice. Therefore, their relationship seemed a bit closer.

"There was someone in the backyard just now, a very strange person."

When the topic of the strange thing came up, Sikong Qianluo and the others all turned to look at Zhou Zhenhuan.

Zhou Zhenhuan touched his nose: "Why are you looking at me? Am I that strange?"

"Cough cough..."

"Junior sister, get to the point."

Sikong Qianluo jumped down from the roof and let out a soft snort.

"I've covered all the key points, that person's lightness skill is superb..." At this point, her beautiful eyes looked at Zhou Huanzhen again.
