The pinnacle of the martial arts world - Chapter 84
Fate changed from that moment on.
They will never lose each other.
The two looked at Yang Luoxue, and no words could express their gratitude.
"Have more children," the white-haired young healer said with a smile. "That way, I'll feel like I've saved a lot of people."
Madam Mo's face flushed slightly, and Mo Xingnan put his arm around her shoulder and smiled with raised eyebrows.
The husband was brave, and the wife was beautiful; they were a perfect couple.
"They'll be very happy," he said softly, watching them leave the valley.
Zhan Yuan followed behind him, silently putting a coat on him. A breeze picked up.
"Be happy." He turned and walked back, "because there aren't many people in this world who can be happy... cough cough..." He coughed, and even the bright weather in the valley couldn't stop the autumn chill from creeping up on him.
This autumn is particularly cold, and it seems like there are an unusually large number of things to do.
Chapter 165
As the weather gradually cooled down, the Forbidden Garden suddenly trembled that day.
This has never happened before; the Forbidden Garden has only ever been active in the spring.
Even more unusually, after Yang Luoxue and Zhan Yuan entered and chanted the incantation several times, the immortal still couldn't calm down. The immortal rubbed his forehead and paced back and forth, muttering, "He's here, he's here, I know, I know..."
The incantation failed to appease the immortal, and the tremors in the forbidden garden could not be controlled. Just then, Tang Congrong arrived. He was shocked to see Yang Luoxue's appearance. Yang Luoxue, having no time to greet him, hurriedly returned to the forbidden garden. The incantation had little effect; suddenly, the immortal trembled violently.
Yang Luoxue and Zhan Yuan only saw that the immortal's white eyebrows and eyes, which were almost blending into the snow, became blurred and transparent in an instant. Then a gentle breeze swept past them and led them into the passageway.
He left the Forbidden City?!
Yang Luoxue immediately chased after her.
The immortal had indeed left the forbidden garden; his body materialized in the air of Medicine King Valley. Today's entrance was extraordinary, littered with the dead and wounded. Tang Congrong lay in the mud, an umbrella opening in the void, casting a faint light that enveloped one person.
The immortal walked towards the person, but upon looking at the umbrella, he asked wistfully, "Is it you?"
The umbrella seemed to possess a spirit, and gently touched two dots.
He stretched out his hand, lost in thought.
The umbrella automatically folded up and landed in his icy, sculpted hand.
"How long has it been since I last saw you?" He held the umbrella tenderly, as if embracing his lover. "A hundred years? Two hundred years? Three hundred years?"
When Yang Luoxue arrived, she saw this strange scene and the mess on the ground. Later, after Tang Congrong was rescued, she learned what had happened.
It turned out that the members of the Time Sect had heard that Green Robe's last known location was Medicine King Valley, so they came to Medicine King Valley to demand it. Tang Congrong stepped in to save him from this calamity—it should be noted that Medicine King Valley only had doctors and patients, who were no match for the Time Sect no matter what.
The umbrella was called "Cloud Net Barrier," said to be a treasure of a certain cultivator, which fell into the mortal realm and eventually ended up in the hands of the Qingcheng Sect, who presented it to Tang Congrong as a birthday gift. Yang Luoxue vaguely understood that the owner of the Cloud Net Barrier was the same cultivator who had sent the immortal to this place back then.
The immortal took the cloud barrier away. In exchange, he removed the cold energy that Yang Luoxue had sealed in Tang Congrong's hands.
At first glance, Yang Luoxue found the person hidden under the umbrella unfamiliar, but later realized it was Tang Qiefang in disguise. Tang Qiefang had mastered the Tang Clan's secret poison, Heavenly Fragrance, which was dissolved by Yang Luoxue's blood while waiting for Tang Congrong to leave the forbidden garden.
There was no sense of triumph. Perhaps it was because Tang Qiefang didn't seem frustrated at all?
"Hey." When Tang Congrong was brought into the Forbidden Garden, two awkward friends who had fallen out over a small matter in their youth sat together, with wine even placed in front of them. Yang Luoxue drank a cup first, "I have something to tell you."
"Do you also need something from me?"
"It's related to composure."
"Oh?" Tang Qiefang only becomes serious and obedient when Tang Congrong is mentioned.
"Shouldn't Cong Rong be getting married by now?"
"Are you trying to play matchmaker for him?"
He drank another glass of wine. Autumn was so cold, and so was the wine, the coldness reaching his stomach, yet the spiciness rose up, causing him to cough uncontrollably. It took him a long time to catch his breath before he looked down at Tang Qiefang and asked, "Is it not allowed?"
Chapter 166
Compared to the rainy south, autumn in Sading City is crisp and clear, with a sky so blue it seems to drip water above the iron-gray rooftops.
But inside Zhonghua Pavilion, the elders' faces were ashen, as if the sun hadn't shone for three months.
"The marriage alliance between Suoding City and the Hua family is tantamount to a marriage alliance with the Tang Clan. Putting aside the Hua family's own weight, just the fact that they have offended the Tang Clan could break the long-standing business relationship between the two families."
Tang Clan's hidden weapons mostly come from Suoding City, making them a major customer of Suoding City.
"Elder Tu, what do you mean by 'not to mention the Hua family's own influence'? I think the most difficult thing to deal with is the Hua family. Their business is all over the world. In recent years, in addition to weaving, they have also opened mines. What if they want to cut off our iron source?"
"According to you two, everyone in Suoding City is a big shot, and no one can afford to offend anyone!" another elder said sarcastically. "This is just a matter of personal feelings between lovers. If you properly break off the engagement and show proper etiquette, what can the Hua family and Tang Clan say? If the young city lord doesn't like Miss Hua, then even if Miss Hua marries into the family, she won't have a good life."
"That may be true, but this concerns the reputation of all three families!"
"Especially the Tang Clan, Tang Congrong and Tang Qiefang are notoriously difficult to deal with!"
"Do you think our city of Suoding is afraid of him?"
"..."
The head master looked at the elders arguing heatedly with a headache and sighed.
The incident that happened not long ago at the young master's Chongyi Academy was suppressed by Baili Wushuang and a few elders. Most people did not know that the young master had someone he loved, and that the person he loved was not an ordinary person, but Princess Heshun of the current dynasty.
