Chapter 741 - Personal Affairs
“Hmph! Such a strong cultivator, and yet you are distracted by personal affairs,” Dong Fangyi sneered. “Pity, you will not go far on the martial path.”
“You don’t understand.” Huangfu Qingjue chuckled softly. “However, I believe that one day you will.”
“Ridiculous! I will never understand such trivial matters,” Dong Fangyi scoffed in disdain and waved his sleeve. “I will come and seek you out again.” With a leap, he disappeared into thin air.
Huangfu Qingjue smiled faintly. He knew that this person would definitely come looking for him again. This man was the strong cultivator that had appeared at Little Silver Ancient Mountain back then. He had followed him all the way here from Little Silver Ancient Mountain, and the two of them had exchanged blows many times along the way, each match ending in a draw. In truth, he and Dong Fangyi both knew that they hadn’t used all their strength, but even if they did, it still might have ended in a draw. This Dong Fangyi was indeed very strong!
His identity was even more of a mystery. He probably wasn’t from a sect, but he had never heard of such a strong cultivator from other places either. If they hadn’t fought, Huangfu Qingjue wouldn’t have known he existed. Their initial hostility towards each other had given away to a faint respect, so when Dong Fangyi had heard that Huangfu Qingjue was going to see his woman, he had been condescending. Dong Fangyi’s martial path belief was that there should be no distractions of the heart, and one should not get caught up in personal affairs. Seeing that Huangfu Qingjue’s thoughts were elsewhere, Dong Fangyi’s scorn was actually a façade for his sympathy.
…
Dong Fangyi quickly left and after a long time, stopped at the peak of a mountain and turned to look in the direction of Huangfu Qingjue. Huangfu Qingjue had a good impression of Dong Fangyi, but what was Dong Fangyi’s evaluation of Huangfu Qingjue?
Huangfu Qingjue was truly very strong. Dong Fangyi narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart full of doubt and suspicions. Huangfu Qingjue was supposedly from the Deity Temple, but after following him for so long, Dong Fangyi very clearly understood something—Huangfu Qingjue was definitely not from the Deity Temple, but he wasn’t from the sects either.
Who exactly was he?
The two peerless cultivators had the same thoughts and suspicions.
Dong Fangyi took a final look at the mountain where Huangfu Qingjue was, and then turned around to leave. Huangfu Qingjue also looked in the direction that Dong Fangyi had disappeared to, and then looked away.
…
Meanwhile, Ling Chuxi and the others were preparing to go to the former site of the Golden Pill Sect.
Su Yizhi was taking the lead, but instead of walking towards the outside of the city, he was walking towards the city.
“Where are we going?” Ling Chuxi asked Su Yizhi curiously as she walked beside him.
Ling Yichen and the others, as well as the disciples of the Su family, also looked confused.
The various great sects were located in secluded places, that was something everyone knew. They had thought that the Golden Pill Sect was hidden in the mountains outside the city, so everyone had prepared for a long arduous journey, but they never would have thought that Su Yizhi would be going further into the city.
“You all will know in a while,” Su Yizhi said with a smile.
After all, sects were a mysterious existence to most people, usually not even heard of. Seeing so many people in the boisterous town, Ling Chuxi did not dare to ask anything more and just walked alongside Su Yizhi.
Su Yizhi finally stopped at the gate of a chamber of commerce. It was called the Cai Tong Chamber of Commerce, and Ling Chuxi had never even heard of it. The front door was extremely rundown, implying that business hadn’t been too good.
Weren’t they going to the Golden Pill Sect? Why had they come to this small chamber of commerce? Ling Chuxi was doubtful but did not ask anything, and just followed Su Yizhi into the chamber of commerce.
