The gambling peddler standing nearby almost fainted when he heard Guard Chang address “her” as Divine Doctor Chu.
He had long known that this “girl” was no ordinary person, but he never expected “her” to be the renowned Divine Doctor Chu! Who would have thought that the divine doctor, who was as cold and ethereal as a celestial being in everyone's mouth, would appear before everyone in the guise of a woman? It was enough to take half of his life...
Chu Weixin twitched the corner of his eye. He thought to himself that it was really bad luck that his disguise had been recognized by this guy.
He gave a gentle smile, his beautiful eyes glancing at the man, and said, “Guard Chang has an excellent memory and sharp eyes...”
Chang He watched him calmly, his face expressionless.
Chu Weixin withdrew his gaze dejectedly. Sharp eyes indeed. After all, this guy had a pair of eagle eyes that could spot anyone even if they were hiding in the mountains.
“G-Guard Chang... D-Divine Doctor...” The gambling peddler was on the verge of tears, “This little one...”
Chu Weixin didn't have the time to bother with him. He was fully focused on sizing up Chang He and casually said, “Get lost.”
Hearing this, the gambling peddler felt as if he had received an amnesty. Overjoyed, he really scurried away...
Chu Weixin and Chang He sized each other up for a while. Suddenly, Chang He shifted his gaze and said, “If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.” With that, he took a step forward.
“Don't go. Let's have a talk.” Chu Weixin reached out and grabbed him, smiling coolly.
Passers - by all looked at them and pointed.
“Isn't Guard Chang already married? Why is he getting entangled with another woman?”
“I thought Guard Chang was a gentleman who could remain unmoved by temptation. But looking at him now, he seems to have the same style as the Alliance Leader...”
“How dare you talk about the Alliance Leader? You're tired of living!”
“That woman is really beautiful. If Fairy Gu were as beautiful as her, it might cause quite a stir...”
...
Chang He, who was usually so composed, was on the verge of losing his calm demeanor. He lowered his head and glanced at the sleeve that Chu Weixin was holding. With a “rip” sound, he walked straight away as if nothing had happened.
Chu Weixin was still standing there, looking blankly down at the piece of torn black cloth in his hand. For a moment, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning...
Jiang Li and Mo Xin, who had just left the inn, recognized Chu Weixin in the distance at the same time. They exchanged a look and walked forward.
“Is the divine doctor standing on the road selling rags?” Jiang Li raised the corner of his mouth and teased him as he walked over. His clear eyes were full of charm.
Mo Xin smiled gently and stood behind, saying softly, “The divine doctor has also come to the Pingshan Assembly.”
Chu Weixin came back to his senses, waved his hand, and threw away the torn cloth. His cold eyes glanced at Jiang Li and he said lightly, “North Star Lord, long time no see.” Then he looked at Mo Xin and nodded respectfully, “Madam Xiao.”
“I'm fine, very well indeed.” Jiang Li smiled charmingly and walked over, reaching out to twirl a lock of Chu Weixin's long hair around his finger. “I thought I had misidentified you. Such a beautiful woman. I was just about to ask which sect she belonged to, but it turns out to be... Alas...” He lowered his head and pretended to sigh regretfully.
Chu Weixin lowered his eyes and glanced at the hair that Jiang Li was playing with. He reached out and mercilessly slapped Jiang Li's hand away. He curled his lips into a smile and said softly, “North Star Lord, please don't. I'm not interested in men.”
Jiang Li smiled as if bathing in the spring breeze and said, “Don't worry. I... am a bit interested in men who like to dress up as women.”
Mo Xin watched from the side, her smile looking a bit stiff.
Chu Weixin ignored Jiang Li and looked at Mo Xin, asking, “Madam Xiao, where are you going?”
Mo Xin gave a gentle smile, showing the tear - mole at the corner of her eye. She said softly, “Naturally, I'm going to see the Pingshan Assembly.”
Suddenly, two men in dark gray robes walked by. Chu Weixin recognized them at a glance as disciples of the Nanshan Sect.
“I wonder what's going on on the stage. It's been so long and the Alliance Leader and the others haven't come out yet.” One of the thinner and more handsome men said to the slightly plump man beside him.
The slightly plump man nodded and shook his head, saying, “Alas, our master went down there with his junior sister. I wonder if they'll encounter any danger...”
“Don't talk nonsense. Our master is very skilled in martial arts!” The thinner and more handsome man looked at the plump man seriously. The plump man immediately shut up and changed the topic.
Jiang Li and Chu Weixin exchanged a look. Mo Xin pursed her lips, looked at them, and whispered, “Could something have happened at the Pingshan Assembly?” Her husband was still at the Pingshan Assembly. Could he have been involved?
Chu Weixin thought for a moment, stepped forward, and asked the two Nanshan Sect disciples.
“Two young heroes, please wait. May I ask what you are talking about?”
The two of them looked up at the same time. When they saw Chu Weixin, they were completely entranced. The thinner and more handsome man reacted first and quickly nudged the slightly plump man who was in a daze.
The thinner and more handsome man smiled and replied to Chu Weixin, “Everything was fine on the viewing platform, but suddenly a big hole collapsed. First, Fairy Gu fell in, then the Golden Jade Tree and the Heavenly Gift Sword fell in together. Finally, Mr. Qiongxue, the Alliance Leader, Young Master Zhong, and even our master and the others all went down. We don't know what's going on down there. No one has come up for a long time...”
Mo Xin's face changed. Jiang Li lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.
A hole collapsed? And the Golden Jade Tree and the Heavenly Gift Sword fell in too?
Chu Weixin pursed his lips. His cold eyes looked at the two men and he asked again, “Have you seen Guard Wang?”
The two men exchanged a look and shook their heads.
Mo Xin and Jiang Li were both stunned at the same time. Chu Weixin frowned slightly. He said, “Thank you, two young heroes.”
The two men looked at their reactions, feeling confused. They shook their heads and walked away.
“I'm afraid Wang Chengyang is behind this.” Mo Xin looked at Jiang Li and Chu Weixin. When she mentioned this name, hatred was evident on her face.
Jiang Li looked at Chu Weixin. Half of his charming smile faded. He asked, “Did you see Guard Chang?”
Chang He?
Chu Weixin's cold eyes looked at Jiang Li and he pointed to the east, saying, “He just left.”
Jiang Li curved his lips into a smile. His light blue robe fluttered gently in the wind. He gathered his inner energy under his feet, his eyes flashed, and the next second, he was no longer there.
Chang He in a black robe looked around. Suddenly, a strong wind blew from behind. He frowned. Just as he was about to turn around, a hand landed on his shoulder. The force was not small, making his eyes darken.
“Guard Chang, after just one day's separation, I've missed you so much...”
Chang He's eyebrows twitched. What a shameless Jiang Li!
In the dim cave, the candlelight flickered, and everyone's shadows were wavering uneasily.
Su Xiaoliu stared at the pot of Golden Jade Tree in Cang Nanyan's hand in surprise. Not only her, but everyone's eyes were fixed on the Golden Jade Tree.
The Alliance Leader sneered, looked at Guard Wang, and said, “An evil tree?” He stared at Wang Chengyang for a long time and then slowly said, “What's the evidence?”
