#1276 - Chapter 1276 Old Friend
The sky had just brightened when the Grand Master yawned and woke up in bed, opened his notebook, and wrote a few words on it.
“Last night, peace in Chang'an.”
The calligraphy was far inferior to the words on the plaque at the entrance.
Before Ye Kong could ask anything, with a plop, the surrounding tide poured in through his mouth and nose, still crude and unreasonable. After being pulled over, Ye Kong couldn't find his breath at all in the deeper Black Sea. Until Ye Kong heard a few urgent shouts.
“Ye Kong!”
“Ye Kong!”
……
Ye Kong opened his eyes, the sky was truly blue, and the sunlight was a bit dazzling. This place was also a bit unfamiliar, who was the person who just called him…
Ye Kong saw Lin Xing in front of him, shedding his ink-jade exterior. Standing before him now was the refreshing, bright, and vigorous Lin Xing.
“Ye Kong, listen to me, go west, pass through the deep forest, and you will see a clear avenue. My people will send you to a safe place. Next, walk a dozen kilometers more, and you will reach Xihua City, where someone will send you back to the Taichu Academy.”
Lin Xing impatiently instructed Ye Kong.
Ye Kong stretched out his hand, and after a long while, he regained his tongue, his voice light and飘飘, “Aren't you coming with me? The Grand Master already knows our identities.”
“I'm not going.” Lin Xing shook his head, “I still have very important things to do.”
Ye Kong wanted to say what could be more important than life.
Lin Xing didn't have time to explain, and only said one sentence.
“I have made a pact with the Grand Master.”
What pact?
After saying that, a white horse neighed and ran over from afar.
Lin Xing helped Ye Kong onto the white horse and patted the horse's rump. The white horse let out a long wail and galloped away.
Ye Kong gripped the reins, only seeing Lin Xing's figure being ruffled by the wind by the river, and then disappearing.
Ding, system prompt, the extra settlement function for completing the mission of subduing the Four Divine Beasts has been activated. On top of the original reward, the host can receive a summoning buff, that is, to summon the Four Divine Beasts anytime and anywhere to increase their power.
But remember, the power of the Four Divine Beasts is uncontrollable and extremely destructive. Do not summon them lightly unless it is a matter of life and death.
Ye Kong chuckled. The power of the Four Divine Beasts came neither early nor late. Now, finding the entrance to the Reverse Realm Sect was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Ye Kong released his hands, letting the white horse take him into the deep forest, running freely on the deserted road.
After that, the scenery of the dense forest flashed quickly before his eyes, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, making it difficult to see clearly.
It wasn't until dusk that the white horse stopped. Immediately afterward, a figure emerged from the dense forest.
The person directly helped Ye Kong down from the white horse and sent him into a carriage that had been prepared long ago. The white horse then turned around and returned to Pingxiang.
The carriage continued to jingle along, and Ye Kong also fell into a deep sleep with the sound.
Waking up again, he was in a lively market. The carriage was parked aside, and all around were the sounds of vendors shouting and hawking. Ye Kong was awakened, and his hoarse voice uttered a few words, “Where are we?”
No one answered.
Ye Kong lifted the curtain, and the bustling crowd bustled through the market. The person who had sent Ye Kong yesterday was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Kong stretched his muscles and bones before standing up, opening the curtain, and getting out of the carriage. The person who had sent Ye Kong yesterday was now sitting at a noodle shop, eating his third bowl of Yangchun noodles.
“You're awake? Want a bowl of noodles?” the person asked.
Ye Kong nodded and walked over.
The person shouted loudly, “Waiter, another bowl of Yangchun noodles.” Then, he pulled out a stool for Ye Kong to sit down, “I thought you would sleep for a long time, so I temporarily rested here for a while.” After speaking, he handed Ye Kong a cup of tea.
His throat, which had not had water for a long time, was already creaking like a broken bellows. Ye Kong picked up the teacup and gulped down a large mouthful, feeling a little better, and then opened his mouth.
“Where is this?”
“Xi County.” The person opened his mouth. Then, he introduced himself, “Just call me Xiaoman. Master instructed me to escort you on your journey.”
Ye Kong looked at Xiaoman's figure. He hadn't noticed it yesterday, but now, he looked high-spirited and had the air of an old friend.
Xiaoman handed over the Yangchun noodles, his mouth not stopping, “Forgive me for being nosy, but you and Master must have a close relationship, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have mobilized all of us.”
Ye Kong listlessly put two noodles into his mouth. The taste was good, but the mention of Lin Xing was like a fishbone in his throat, making it difficult for him to swallow for a moment.
For a long time, so long that Xiaoman was about to start another topic.
Ye Kong suddenly opened his mouth.
“Perhaps.”
Seeing Ye Kong's expression, Xiaoman tactfully stopped asking.
The two finished their meal in this way. Later, Xiaoman complained that Ye Kong was too wasteful, so he had to gobble up the remaining half bowl of noodles before hitching up the carriage and preparing to leave.
“Wait.” Ye Kong noticed the commotion in the distance.
Xiaoman's hands didn't stop, “Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to meet the next shift in time.”
Ah!
A shrill scream resounded through the market.
But everyone avoided it.
“Go take a look.” Ye Kong said.
“It's better not to cause trouble. Such things happen here every day.”
Xiaoman said as if he was used to it.
“Is it right just because it's always been this way? If everyone minds their own business and doesn't care, wouldn't the entire Upper Realm be in chaos?”
Ye Kong retorted.
Xiaoman looked at Ye Kong now, “You can't even protect yourself now… Wait, what are you doing?”
While speaking, Ye Kong had already arrived at the center of the screaming.
A group of people were violently beating a teenager.
The teenager could no longer shout, his entire body curled up, and he could pass out at any time.
Obviously, they would not give up until he stopped breathing.
Ye Kong directly flew up and kicked away the people surrounding the teenager with one foot, “Stop!”
“Yo, someone is playing the hero! Come on, beat him hard!”
A man sitting in a rocking chair spoke from the side.
Ye Kong directly took out the Yangtian Whip, and with just one strike, he slammed everyone who surrounded him to the ground, unable to move.
“He's a trained fighter. Where are the others? Everyone, get him!”
Immediately, groups of disciples in blue robes raised their long swords and stabbed at Ye Kong.
Another group fight! Ye Kong was tired of fighting, so he directly clenched his fist and smashed it into the ground. The golden halo that rose up knocked everyone who came to the ground, their livers and gallbladders splitting.
Just as Ye Kong was about to help the teenager up, a group of disciples in cyan robes arrived here.
The man from the rocking chair led the way in front, “Elder, it's this person. He injured my subordinates and is causing trouble here. You must seek justice for us!”
These people marched in neat steps, and the leader was an old acquaintance from Yuefeng Mountain.
Hu Yishao!
