Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1178 Autumn Waters of the River of Oblivion, Floating Clouds and Dreams

Unintentionally, wind and rain arose in Luowu; the lights shone brightly on the secluded, cold mountain!

Shen Yichen and his three companions did indeed go to Hanshan You, but unfortunately, they didn't go through the main entrance. Instead, they went directly to the room where Shen Yichen had recuperated last time.

None of the four seemed satisfied!

Shen Yichen certainly wouldn't go downstairs, not only because Mu Qingxue was beside him, but also because he felt a strange resistance, though he couldn't explain why.

Mu Qingxue, on the contrary, was secretly eager to do so, but too shy to speak up. However, she also didn't want Shen Yichen to go downstairs.

The fierce wind and rain in Luowu conveniently masked the sounds of women whispering and singing in the secluded Cold Mountain, and also eased the slight awkwardness in the hearts of the four.

"Senior, are you sure the Lord of Cold Mountain is not here?"

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue stood by the window. In this romantic place, they were surprisingly reserved and demure, with a faint sorrow in their eyes.

Tomorrow they will be heading to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion. Although Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue have decided to live and die together, they don't want to die!

Mu Yulou and the young Taoist sat at the table. Mu Yulou was drinking wine, while the young Taoist was drinking tea. Both of them had worried expressions on their faces.

"Hanshan Youyi has three masters, and none of them are here today!"

Mu Yulou went to the bottom of the Cold Mountain three times. Amidst the light singing and dancing, he felt a sense of things being different from what they used to be.

Youth has faded, and youthful charm is gone. Looking at the graceful and charming woman, Mu Yulou's heart no longer flutters with excitement as before.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue exclaimed in surprise at the same time:

"Hanshan Youyi has three masters?"

Shen Yichen was somewhat bewildered. Could the pregnant woman he had seen and the alluring woman in front of Feilai Peak both be the Lord of Hanshan Youzhi?

"Young Miss, Wangchuan, Qiushui, and Fuyunmeng are the three masters of Hanshanyou. Among them, Qiushui is the charming woman at the foot of Feilai Peak. The pregnant woman that Young Master Shen is looking for is Fuyunmeng. As for Wangchuan, no one knows her true appearance!"

Shen Yichen frowned slightly and asked softly:

"Senior, do you know the relationship between these three people? I have never met Qiu Shui, how could she know about my relationship with Fu Yunmeng?"

Shen Yichen was absolutely certain that there was only one woman, Fu Yunmeng, in this house that night. Given her master's cultivation level, it was impossible for anyone else to be hiding around. Moreover, Shen Yichen had always felt that the alluring woman and the heavily pregnant woman were the same person.

"Young Master Shen, I have no idea. Why would someone from the world of immortals and heroes care about a brothel in the mortal realm?"

Mu Yulou's words were true. Back when he and Mu Niansheng came to Hanshan You, they did not take the master of Hanshan You seriously, and they did not know that the master of Hanshan You was a person from the world of immortals and heroes.

"Was it really a coincidence that my father and mother met in the secluded Cold Mountain back then?"

Mu Qingxue asked a pointless question. She knew very well that Mu Yulou wouldn't answer, but she really wanted to know!

"Young Miss, I really don't know!"

Mu Yulou was telling the truth; back then, he was only responsible for protecting Mu Niansheng.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue turned to look at the young Taoist boy, who was staring blankly at the tea in his hand, his brows furrowed, seemingly not listening to the three of them.

"Little brat, aren't you going to say anything?"

Mu Qingxue didn't actually know why Shen Yichen came to find the Lord of Hanshan You. Shen Yichen said he wanted to find out the unfinished business at Feilai Peak, but Mu Qingxue had a vague feeling that Shen Yichen was lying to her. To be precise, Shen Yichen was hiding something from her.

Mu Qingxue believed it was related to the Ji family, because Shen Yichen said that the Lord of Hanshan Youzhi was related to Ji Xuanfeng, so Mu Qingxue did not ask further.

"The Lord of Cold Mountain Netherworld may have come from the Mysterious Heaven Pavilion!"

Shen Yichen, Mu Qingxue, and Mu Yulou exclaimed in unison:

"what!"

The young Taoist's words were truly unexpected. He didn't seem to notice the three's surprised expressions, and continued speaking:

"This is just my guess. I've met them before; they were acquaintances of my master!"

The young Taoist only told half the story; his master's death back then might have been related to the Lord of Cold Mountain.

To be precise, the Lord of Hanshan You must know how his master died, but the young Taoist really doesn't know what role the Lord of Hanshan You played in it.

"Young Miss, let's leave first!"

Mu Yulou got up and went to Mu Qingxue's side. He could only believe the little Taoist boy's words. If the Lord of Hanshan Youzhi was really a member of Xuantiange, Mu Qingxue might be in danger.

Shen Yichen also felt the urge to retreat. Xuantian Pavilion, the most mysterious existence in the world of immortals and heroes, actually existed in the world of immortals and heroes.

In Ximen Xuanyue's dream, Shen Yichen saw that pavilion high in the sky, and now it seems to have become a reality!

Shen Yichen's first thought was that the people from Xuantian Pavilion had come to him at the foot of Feilai Peak because of his status as the chosen one, but why would his master's wife take the initiative to approach the Lord of Hanshan You?

Shen Yichen murmured to himself:

"Do Ji Xuanfeng and my master's wife know that the Lord of Hanshan Youzhi is a member of Xuantian Pavilion?"

Like Mu Yulou, Shen Yichen, Mu Qingxue, and Mu Yulou could only believe the young Taoist boy's words. Although they were curious, they were more worried.

"Girl, how about we don't go to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion tomorrow?"

The young Taoist also stood up; clearly, he also intended to leave first.

The young Taoist priest Zhixian initially wanted to meet the Lord of Hanshan You, but after waiting for so long, the Lord of Hanshan You did not show up, and Zhixian began to worry.

When he was young, the young Taoist boy and his master met Wangchuan Qiushui Fuyunmeng and the other two, but he really didn't expect or know that these three people would be the Lord of Hanshan Youzhi. Their relationship was definitely not ordinary!

"Little brat, that's between him and me. You don't have to come with us!"

Mu Qingxue naturally wanted to go to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion. She wanted to see her mother's portrait, and she also wanted to activate the Bloodline Power within Shen Yichen's body.

Shen Yichen was somewhat frustrated! He came to Hanshan You to find answers, but now he had many more questions in his mind!

"Hey, Qingxue, let's go back to the inn first, don't keep them waiting!"

Shen Yichen also decided to leave first, not understanding why the young Taoist hadn't said so earlier.

Little did Shen Yichen know that the young Taoist was actually just having this guess in his mind.

Amidst the raging wind and rain, Shen Yichen and his companions left Hanshan You and disappeared into the darkness.

Yi Xuan arrived at Shuiyun Temple, opposite Hanshan You, but this time he was forced to come.

Shen Yichen's master's wife did not expect that Shen Yichen and his group would come to Hanshan You. She originally wanted to take Yixuan to Hanshan You's room, but she had no choice but to wait in Shuiyun Temple first.

Oh, she shouldn't be called Yi Xuan anymore, she should be called Princess Xuan. Yi Xuan has regained her true appearance, and she is now Ji Yi Xuan.

Shen Yichen's master's wife used the Qiankun Jade Pendant to suppress Tianxianglong, and Ji Yixuan naturally appeared.

"Your Highness, don't waste your energy. The Empress is here. Perhaps you can use the Heavenly Phase Dragon to break through the Qiankun Jade Pendant's restraints. As for you, your cultivation is far too weak!"

Shen Yichen's master's wife was gazing at the secluded Cold Mountain, waiting for Shen Yichen and the others to leave.

Ji Yixuan sat on the prayer mat in front of the Buddha, trying to activate the Heavenly Aspect, but after so long, there was really no effect at all.

"Did you know that Shuiyun Temple is related to the royal family of Yunxia Mountain?"

Ji Yixuan is exceptionally intelligent. Since Master Shen Yichen's wife brought her here, it's obvious that Master Shen Yichen's wife knows everything about this place.

After Lord Luowu visited Shuiyun Temple, Ji Yixuan abandoned the temple, and the people there left with Lan Yishu. At this moment, Ji Yixuan regretted it!

Shen Yichen's teacher's wife turned to look at Ji Yixuan, shook her head, and sighed:

"The royal family of Yunxia Mountain underestimates the martial world of Yanquan. Even with Ji Xuanfeng's abilities, he has vanished without a trace. Hasn't this alerted you yet? A thousand years have passed, times have changed, and circumstances have shifted!"

Ji Yixuan slowly stood up and walked to Shen Yichen's master's wife's side, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Since you are a member of the Ji family, you should have the Ji family in your heart. Please enlighten me!"

Ji Yixuan felt a sense of resignation at this moment, although she still did not know what the person in front of her was trying to achieve by controlling her!

"Hmph, not only do I know that members of the Yunxia Mountain royal family are hidden in Shuiyun Temple, but the Lord of Hanshan You on the other side also knows, she just chooses to ignore it!"

Ji Yixuan had actually guessed it. Even the Lord of Luowu treated the Lord of Hanshan You with great respect, so Hanshan You was really not that simple.

"Does the senior know what relationship Ji Xuanfeng has with the Lord of Hanshan You?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen's teacher's wife smiled sweetly!

"Hmph, Your Highness Xuan, what you want to ask is why the Lord of Hanshan You is looking for the young master, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yixuan's body trembled, and she abruptly took three steps back.

"You, you...you were there when the Lord of Luowu fought the Lord of Hanshan You that night?"

"Haha... What do you think? Aren't you curious about why the Lord of Cold Mountain You transformed from a fat, ugly woman into a charming lady?"

Ji Yixuan clenched her fists. She had always thought that the Lord of Luowu was the one who was watching from the sidelines, but now she realized that there were actually other people watching!

Why did you bring me here?

"Your Highness, didn't I already say it? Of course it's to get revenge on you!"

Shen Yichen's master's wife turned to look at Han Shanyou!

"They're gone!"
