Chapter 641: Thinking of One Person
Chapter 641: Thinking of One Person
He has his persistence, and I have my pride.
The scorching temperature and firm texture under her palm made Fan Nuoxi want to withdraw her hand, but Dongfang Junyan pressed it back, directly to her heart.
The hot and intense heartbeat made Fan Nuoxi blush instantly.
"Xixi, you hugged me, kissed me, and touched me last night. I didn't sleep well..." Dongfang Junyan looked resentful, but his hand lifted up a part of her clothes, revealing a few red marks. "You have to take responsibility."
Seeing the obvious marks and the figure that made people imagine a lot, Fan Nuoxi's face became more flushed, and even her ears turned red.
Is she really so dishonest when she's asleep?
But she really couldn't remember what she did last night.
I vaguely remember Tuanzi asking her to promise something, and then... I lost all memory.
"Xixi--" Dongfang Junyan looked at Fan Nuoxi pitifully, but held Fan Nuoxi's hand even tighter.
Although the following text was not mentioned, this look clearly accused Fan Nuoxi of being a "bad woman" who took advantage of others and refused to admit her mistakes.
Fan Nuoxi withdrew her hand and touched Dongfang Junyan's head, then looked down at her own wrinkled inner clothes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't take advantage of the situation.
Otherwise... she would leave overnight.
It took them a long time to wash and put on makeup.
Dongfang Junyan's depressed mood was almost relieved by Fan Nuoxi. He was looking at Fan Nuoxi lovingly as she inserted the last hairpin. However, his slightly red lips were a little conspicuous in the mirror in front of Fan Nuoxi.
Outside the house, Dong Yu and Lin Feng had been waiting for a long time, watching closely. The fog made the house seem much cooler.
The moment they stepped out of the door side by side, they bowed and said, "Master, someone from Juxian Sect wants to see you. They are waiting in the main hall."
"Who are here?" Fan Nuoxi curled her fingers, her heart skipping a beat.
I hope Yuan Qing is coming to take her away.
Then ask her why she left? Why can't I find her anywhere in the world...
Dongfang Junyan put his arm around Fan Nuoxi's shoulders and said with concern, "If you don't want to go, just refuse."
"Since you are a guest, you can meet me."
Judging from how much Su Xiu cares about Nuo Xi, he might know some information about the soul fragments.
"Let's go."
In just a few steps, Tuanzi, who was resting on the roof, turned into a stream of light and sank into Fan Nuoxi's body.
Cheng'en Hall.
The moment the two walked into the hall hand in hand, several people sitting in the hall stood up one after another, looking at Fan Nuoxi with particularly eager eyes.
At first glance, they all look familiar.
Mibei and Suochi stood behind Su Xiu, while Pei Wang led Pei Hongye and several elders with good cultivation to watch from the side.
Those elders were all people I met when I took the entry test in the past.
Pei Hongye's clothes also changed, and it was obvious that he had been promoted from an inner sect disciple.
Perhaps because he had dealt with all kinds of monsters many times, the aura on his body was no longer the same as before. He looked much more stable, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Fan Nuoxi was still eager.
Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but look at him for a while longer, but they were at a loss as to what to do, until Su Xiu's words broke the situation.
"Nuoxi, long time no see."
When Su Xiu said this, his voice trembled a little.
"I wonder why the Juxian Sect's ancestor came here?"
Fan Nuoxi felt relieved when she saw that he did not have Yuan Qing's scent.
"Can... I have a moment to talk?" Seeing Dongfang Junyan following closely, Su Xiu stretched out his hand in the air and then slowly retracted it.
I really want to know where she has been recently... and why has she become so indifferent to him?
Fan Nuoxi glanced at him calmly, suppressing the unknown emotions rising in his heart, and said, "Just say what you want to say."
"The monsters were wreaking havoc a few days ago, but now they have suddenly disappeared. I wonder... do you know why?" Su Xiu looked straight at Fan Nuoxi, trying to confirm what he was thinking.
During the days when monsters were wreaking havoc, she and the people around her disappeared one after another. Now that things have suddenly settled down, many people have no memory of the monsters wreaking havoc. It is hard not to guess that it was Fan Nuoxi's doing.
Although... this possibility is not high, but what if?
Over the past month, he has sent many people to investigate, but to no avail. Today, asking these questions is secondary. The most important thing is that he wants to talk to her more.
"I was injured before and have been recuperating in seclusion. I don't know what you are talking about." Fan Nuoxi looked at the confusion and curiosity in the eyes of others and would not admit it.
Right now, she still doesn't know where the person behind the scenes is or when he will strike back. She doesn't want everything she has done to go to waste.
"Do you think... a little-known character like me can have such overwhelming power?"
Dongfang Junyan put his arm around Fan Nuoxi's waist, and spoke with force, "I never thought that the dignified ancestor of Juxian Sect would bring the Sect Master and the elders to force the palace. What's going on? Do you think that Jingyang City is weak and can be bullied?"
"This is Jingyang City, not the backyard of your Juxian Gate."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present looked unhappy.
"Lin Feng, see the guests off."
Dongfang Junyan took Fan Nuoxi in his arms and left.
These people are really annoying. They ask this kind of thing as soon as they come. If you don't know, you would think they are here for a trial...
Do you know how to respect others?
"Yes." Lin Feng immediately stopped Su Xiu and the others who were about to follow him, his eyes icy, "You are being disrespectful to the Empress, and you are also being disrespectful to the Emperor. Do you want to leave on your own or should I send someone to escort you away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of secret guards whose cultivation level was unknown surrounded them with various weapons in their hands.
Su Xiu and the others suddenly became nervous and instinctively wanted to defend themselves.
After a stalemate, Su Xiu and others finally gave in. After all... they were indeed in the wrong.
After they left Jingyang Palace, Lin Feng instructed the secret guards, "If you see them approaching again, drive them away without permission. Do not let them enter the palace even a single step."
The secret guards took the order and left.
"You...really...you stole the limelight again." Dong Yu put his elbow on Lin Feng's shoulder. "Luckily, the master has been training us personally these days, otherwise, those guys might not even leave!"
"Okay, let's go do what we should do, otherwise... if we delay the master's important business, we will be skinned alive if we don't die." Lin Feng pushed Dong Yu's arm away and left first.
"Hey hey hey, kid, wait for me!"
……
Outside Jingyang Palace.
"Ancestor, why are you always obsessed with this person in Jingyang Palace? It has been so long, and you still refuse to tell us?" Pei Wang couldn't help complaining.
Every time the ancestor encountered some topics with Fan Nuoxi, he would try to cover up the truth, and he would also be evasive when talking about those people whose identities and strengths were unknown and who were fighting against those monsters.
It is hard not to speculate on the secrets involved, but... over the past month, many people in the sect have gradually forgotten about those people and those events.
All traces of those monsters were wiped out completely, as if they had never appeared.
If there were no secret method within the sect that allowed them to remember those things, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave any traces of what happened in the past.
Otherwise... how could they travel through mountains and rivers to look for clues?
Originally, Su Xiu, Mi Bei, and Suo Chi were not traveling with Pei Wang and his companions, and they only met by chance in recent days.
However, they never expected that the ancestor ignored them and kept coming to Jingyang City.
"What? You want to teach me how to do things?" Su Xiu said unhappily, "I told you not to follow me before, but you insisted on following me. Now you're being kicked out together. Can you blame me for this?"
"Ancestor...that's not what I meant..." Pei Wang tried to defend himself.
He was just upset...
"Alright, alright, you should take them back to the sect and stop following me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xiu, Mi Bei and Suo Chi disappeared from the spot one after another.
Pei Wang felt like crying but had no tears, but he also knew Su Xiu's temper and he would stick to his word.
"Master...should we...continue investigating?" Pei Hongye asked cautiously.
Pei Wang sighed softly, "Let's stay in Jingyang City for a few days and then make plans."
Although he didn't know why the old man was so obsessed with Fan Nuoxi, he would definitely not leave Jingyang City. He might even go to find Fan Nuoxi again. By then, he might be in a good mood and talk to him.
