Martial Cultivator

Entering the real gate of Wantian Palace, you can see some ordinary mountain buildings in front of you. They are surrounded by indifferent auspicious clouds and cranes are circling. It seems a bit unsuitable for the leader of a Taoist sect like Wantian Palace.

A group of mountain Taoist priests, old and young, greeted each other here, all with smiles on their faces.

It’s just that the owner of Wantian Palace is missing.

Li Yu smiled and explained, "The palace master has been in seclusion for many days. I'm afraid I won't be able to see the guardian envoy this time."

Chen Chao said oh, and asked at the same time, "Before the palace owner went into seclusion, did he know that I was going to the Wantian Palace?"

Li Yu knew what Chen Chao meant, but he didn't hide it. He confessed, "I first knew that the Guardian Envoy was going to Wantian Palace. I was originally waiting for the Guardian Envoy, but later he changed his schedule, and the Palace Master happened to have something in mind. So I went into seclusion, but before I went into seclusion, I entrusted everything to Pindao.”

Chen Chao glanced at Li Yu one more time, wondering why the Taoist priest never mentioned this matter when he just climbed the mountain.

Chen Chao thought for a while and said softly, "I want to spend more time in Wantian Palace. I wonder what Daochang Li wants?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "There are guest rooms in the mountain, as long as the guardian envoy doesn't dislike it."

Chen Chao nodded and then asked, "Daozhang Li, can you send someone to take me to see Zhu Xia?"

Zhu Xia just saw him and left in tears. Until now, Chen Chao has not figured out the reason and is confused.

Li Yu knew Chen Chao's intention and knew that some things could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences, so he was not in a hurry. Instead, he reached out and called a young Taoist priest and ordered, "Take the guardian envoy to find the saint."

…

…

When Chen Chao saw Zhu Xia, the girl, who had grown up much more than before, was sitting by a stream, with her back to Chen Chao. Chen Chao smiled and signaled for the young Taoist priest to leave, and then slowly walked over. , wait and see, well, this girl is holding a piece of fruit and chewing on it, her cheeks are bulging, but her eyes are full of tears, she looks aggrieved and funny.

Chen Chao sat down next to Zhu Xia and said nothing, just making up his mind when the woman next to him would notice him.

But after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Zhu Xia just held the fruit and ate it, not paying attention to Chen Chao. Chen Chao then coughed helplessly.

Zhu Xia heard the noise and turned around, just in time to see that face. She was so frightened that she threw most of the fruit in her hand out and was washed away by the stream. At this moment, the aggrieved girl It’s even more aggrieved.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

Chen Chao was confused and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he also knew that this girl's grievance was definitely not a matter of consequence.

However, Chen Chao, who didn't know how to speak for a while, could only sit there and look at the flowing stream, thinking that this woman was too troublesome.

After a long time, Chen Chao felt that it had been a long time anyway, because he had been listening to the sound of the flowing water for a long time, and it seemed as if everything was silent.

But the sobbing sound of the girl beside him was very real.

Chen Chao joked and said, "Did you get bullied in the mountains? Are you angry that I took so long to come see you?"

Zhu Xia ignored him at all.

Chen Chao sighed silently. It would have been nice if he had bought some candied dates and other things to eat when he left Shendu. But now that he was empty-handed, it was hard to say anything.

Chen Chaogang was about to speak again, and Zhu Xia suddenly asked, "When did it happen?"

"Um?"

Chen Chao was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Zhu Xia must have known how he had killed Yin Li, so he asked this question.

She should still be worried about him.

"It's not like I've been thinking about it for a long time. I just have to do a lot of things after His Majesty leaves, so I just want to do this first."

Chen Chao nodded, feeling a little impressed with himself that he had really accomplished this.

"There are so many things to do, but you are not in a hurry, so you just do this first?"

Zhu Xia stared at Chen Chao, wondering why she didn't see that he was such a person at first.

Chen Chao said matter-of-factly, "This matter is so important, and you will benefit a lot after doing it. Of course you have to do it. The longer you delay, the more trouble you will have. Besides, time waits for no one."

"You...shameless!"

Zhu Xia glared at Chen Chao, but he was more aggrieved than angry.

She didn't know what she was wronged about, but she didn't know why. She obviously knew that he liked Sister Xie, and now they were just one step closer, but she just felt wronged and angry.

Chen Chao thought about it seriously, thinking that he had made so many calculations and sent so many spies to Chixin Temple, so he could probably be considered shameless?

"Although it is a bit disgraceful, in order to achieve the goal, this is the only way."

Chen Chao sighed with emotion, "It's dangerous."

Zhu Xia said nothing, aggrieved.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "What are you worried about? Am I still alive?"

"I wish you were dead."

Zhu Xia stared at Chen Chao in front of him.

Chen Chao didn't speak, always feeling weird, but I couldn't tell what was weird at the moment, I just felt it was abnormal.

Zhu Xia looked at Chen Chao, and her eyes seemed to have lost some of her anger. After a long time, she asked softly, "Where is your daughter? Where did she throw it? For such a small child, what are you throwing away?"

Chen Chao was shocked, "Girl?!"

Zhu Xia said angrily, "You came here with me and you still don't admit it?!"

Chen Chao was startled, and then he realized later that Zhu Xia had left in tears because he regarded the little girl as his daughter.

Chen Chao, who figured this out, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Chao glanced at Zhu Xia and asked with a smile, "How old do you think my daughter is?"

Zhu Xia frowned slightly and tentatively said, "Five or six years old."

Chen Chao asked, "How long has it been since we last met? Five or six years?"

Zhu Xia shook her head blankly. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she left Shendu.

She just felt that when they last met, Chen Chao was not so tall and his face was different from now. Now that they meet again, everything is different.

It didn't matter whether it was several years or many years. Anyway, in her heart, it had been many, many years.

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "Where is five or six years?"

Zhu Xia pointed at Chen Chao and said in surprise, "You have long ago...ah, Chen Chao...you bad guy!"

Chen Chaolao's face turned red. Although he had thought about such a thing, he was pitiful. In his life, he would only kiss someone at most. No matter how many times... no matter how much... no matter how many times he touched... there would really be no more.

Chen Chao stared at Zhu Xia seriously and said seriously, "We are familiar with each other. Don't talk nonsense. I have never been a bad person. I am a real good person!"
