Chapter 371: Wen Yanzhao's team returns with a full load, and Dongji Island's Nangong Chun
When Ji Ruofeng said this, except for the two brothers Wen Yanzhao and Baili Dongjun who knew the whereabouts of the Confucian Immortal, the other three were all shocked!
Especially Sikong Changfeng, he clearly witnessed with his own eyes that the Confucian immortal outside Qiandong City sacrificed his life to pass on his lifelong skills to Wen Yanzhao in order to save his cultivation!
But now, Ji Ruofeng actually asked about the whereabouts of Ruxian. From what he said, it seemed that Ruxian was still alive in the world and in the Wen family in Lingnan.
Facing Ji Ruofeng's questioning, Wen Yanzhao suddenly felt the pressure doubled. The news of the Confucian immortal's seclusion was only known to Baili Dongjun and the Wen family.
If this news is announced to the world by Ji Ruofeng, the Lingnan Wen family will inevitably be implicated. Although Wen Yanzhao is now a god-like person and there is no need to worry, the Wen family will still have to face the Xiao family and the Confucian immortal's former enemies.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Yanzhao smiled faintly and said to Ji Ruofeng's sharp gaze:
"He has long passed away. My cousin Baili Dongjun and this Sikong Changfeng behind him saw it with their own eyes. There is no need for Master Ji to continue asking!"
Ji Ruofeng had his hands behind his back and no expression on his face. The news about the Confucian Immortal had been known to the disciples of Baixiaotang years ago. On the one hand, the spies stationed in Lingnan had once explored the bamboo sea.
On the other hand, it was discovered by Yue Luo, the head of the 32nd Pavilion of the Music Bureau.
Of course, Yueluo had never leaked any information about the existence of the Confucian Immortal, but the disciples of Baixiaotang were all over Tianqi. When Baili Dongjun hung the pot of peach blossom Yueluo on the totem of the divine bird at the highest point of Tianqi City, the disciples of Baixiaotang had already discovered it.
Later, he recognized Yueluo, and Yueluo asked Baili Dongjun to call her Master's Wife. All this did not escape Ji Ruofeng's eyes.
Ji Ruofeng did not answer for a long while, then turned his gaze to Baili Dongjun and said:
"Baili Dongjun, do you remember when I taught you the Autumn Water Skill, I told you that I owed your master Gu Chen a favor? Since he is still alive, I think it would be best to repay him personally!"
Baili Dongjun's expression froze when he heard this. He remembered Gu Chen's admonition to him when he met his master. He then said with a determined look in his eyes:
"Ji Ruofeng, my master has long passed away. You taught me the Autumn Water Skill as a favor, just consider it as repaying him. If you want to ask me anything else about my master, I have nothing to tell you!"
Seeing that the two brothers' answers were identical, Ji Ruofeng could only smile bitterly and said, "You may have misunderstood me. I, Ji Ruofeng, personally guarantee that I have no intention of harming Gu Chen. It's just that investigating martial artists is Bai Xiaotang's duty. Now that you two have expressed your opinions, I understand the hidden meaning behind your words. That's enough!"
As he spoke, a gust of wind swept past his feet. He took a few steps in the air and flashed in front of Wen Yanzhao, and took the official kiln celadon cloud water bottle, the mutton-fat jade pendant and the lychee-sized pearls in his hands.
Then, he summoned his inner strength and flew away on the eaves of the building...
Seeing this, Wen Yanzhao laughed helplessly and scolded, "You are so good, Ji Ruofeng, you didn't forget to ask for my debt before leaving!"
In the distance, Ji Ruofeng's voice came with the wind: "Wen Yanzhao, you are quite trustworthy. If you brothers conquer the world in the future, please, for Mr. Li's sake, don't make things difficult for the people of Baixiaotang..."
Wen Yanzhao and his group finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching Ji Ruofeng leave.
Sikong Changfeng crossed the roof in a few steps, flew to Baili Dongjun and whispered:
"Dong Jun, is Mr. Gu Chen really still alive?! This... this is too unbelievable!"
Baili Dongjun's face was as cold as water, and he didn't comment. "Money-losing bastard, there are many incredible things in this world, but you have to promise me that everything I say today will rot in my stomach, including your Miss Feng."
Sikong Changfeng nodded in confusion, stroking the centuries-old Gentian Silver Spear in his hand and muttering to himself:
"Okay... but this is too magical. If I can return to Yaowang Valley one day, I will definitely ask if it was Xin Baicao who resurrected the Confucian Immortal."
There was no conversation that day. Wen Yanzhao took the lead and knocked down hundreds of cavalrymen guarding the South Gate with a handful of medicine powder. The group quickly left Tianqi.
They were not afraid that Xiao Chongjing would send people to hunt them down, but they were anxious to rush back to Xueyue City for emergency assistance.
Seven or eight days have passed since leaving Xueyue City. At this moment, Luo He is struggling to hold on in Xueyue City and waiting for help.
The number of refugees outside the city who fled here due to the war in Yunzhou and Shuzhong increased from the original 70,000 to 80,000 to over 100,000, most of whom were the elderly, children, women and children.
Before Baili Dongjun left, he had already handed over all matters in the city, big or small, to Luo He for full handling.
Luo He distributed the stored grain in the city according to the number of people and on a daily basis. He even used the city lord's seal as collateral and borrowed more than 100,000 dan of millet from the wealthy families in the city to rescue the refugees, which solved the urgent problem.
……
The outskirts of Penglai Fairy Island, Jiaodong, and Dongji Island.
The peach blossoms on the island are like mist, bright red and endless.
From a distance, you can see an extremely huge giant turtle swimming on the sea surface four or five miles away from the island.
The giant turtle's carapace is about four or five meters square. Young men and women are sitting opposite each other on it. There is also a tea table on the turtle's back. At this moment, the aroma of tea is curling up and the purple smoke is full.
The man had white hair as white as snow, and was dressed in a long gown as bright as peach blossoms. He gently picked up the teacup, filled it, and handed it to the woman, chanting:
"Don't let the giant turtle carry me away from the three mountains, I want to climb to the top of Penglai~"
"Madam, do you know who wrote this poem?"
The woman, dressed in a fiery red, took the teacup with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and scolded:
"Why are you different now than before? You're full of pedantic poetry and prose, acting like a scholar!"
The man raised his head. It was Nangong Chunshui who had traveled far away from the world with Luoshui. He smiled brightly:
"My lady, what you said is true. Your husband has always been a scholar in this life. Otherwise, why would he be named Nangong Chunshui?"
Luo Shui drank the fragrant tea and put away his smile: "Tsk! Where in the world can you find such a frivolous and undisciplined scholar like you, who has no interest in fame and fortune and takes me on adventures all day long!"
Nangong Chunshui smiled playfully and refilled the teapot: "What? Are you unhappy?"
Luo Shuixiu blushed slightly and whispered, "I'm happy, but for some reason my eyelids have been twitching these past few days. I'm always thinking about Xueyue City and my brother Luo He..."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Chunshui lay on the turtle's back with his back facing up, and said with a melancholy look:
"You're a natural worrier! When we left, I handed Snow Moon City over to Baili Dongjun and Little Spear Immortal. Don't worry, even if someone wants to cause trouble for Snow Moon City, they won't be able to get past them. Besides, how can we just sit back and watch those guys in Tongtian Tower?"
Luo Shui sighed softly: "I'm not worried about anyone coming to cause trouble, hmm...but I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, and I don't know what happened in Xueyue City."
Nangong Chunshui sat up straight, then moved closer to Luo Shui and took her into his arms, saying lovingly:
"Don't worry, my lady. I can just go take a look. It's not that difficult! Wait for me for half a cup of tea..."
As soon as Nangong Chunshui finished speaking, golden light suddenly shone from his body, and he immediately traveled thousands of miles through the clouds and fell straight towards the direction of Xueyue City!
