After meeting Gu Chen in Nanyang City, Liu Zhen wanted to compete with Gu Chen, but the two could not fight in the end. This always made him worried. He wanted to know the relationship between him and Gu Chen now. Time, who is better?
Because of their status, the two are always compared by their colleagues in the world of immortality.
One is Qingyangzi's disciple, and the other is Qingyangzi's adopted son.
As an elite disciple of the Qingyang Sect, Liu Zhen naturally inherited Qingyangzi's unique skills, which also belonged to the Qingyang Sect. This was something Gu Chen did not have, and this was Liu Zhen's strong advantage.
However, Gu Chen's background is not simple. He has been taught by him for a long time. In addition, as the adopted son that Qingyangzi values , no one thinks that Qingyangzi will let him suffer. With Qingyangzi's cultivation and identity, he must It is not that difficult to find a strong mentor for Gu Chen.
So, what did Qingyangzi do for Gu Chen?
Nobody knows.
In the past ten years, Qingyangzi has been hiding in the east peak of Qingyangmen and has not come out. Gu Chen and Liu Zhen have left Qingyangmen to enter the world to experience, and then they only heard about each other's reputation and never saw each other again. What they have heard the most in the past ten years is also What they care about most is who of the two is better and who is worse now.
Maybe you are the only one who cares?
Liu Zhen was walking on the streets of Nanyang City, feeling troubled.
He didn't know if Gu Chen's mood was the same as his, and once this thought came up, it made him more concerned and his energy became a little unstable.
"My state of mind is still not good enough."
Liu Zhen murmured, and when he turned around with the crowd, he couldn't help but be startled. He saw that a luxurious inn was overcrowded, and all the immortal cultivators were coming in and out.
But that's not the most important thing. Liu Zhen stared at the plaque on the inn - Yueling Inn.
Ten years...
Liu Zhen felt excited and broke into the inn without saying a word.
The waiter came up to us and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, there are no more rooms."
Liu Zhen looked at the waiter carefully. He had no impression of this unfamiliar face.
At this time, he was so excited that he didn't care about anything else and asked directly: "I'm looking for your shopkeeper."
The waiter was startled, looked at Liu Zhen cautiously, and asked, "Who are you, my guest?"
"My name is Liu Zhen, she knows me."
Liu Zhen's name is now well known in the world of immortal cultivators. When Liu Zhen signed up his name, the immortal cultivators present couldn't help but look at him. They were all surprised at Liu Zhen's youth, and some of them were already whispering.
"It turns out that this person is Qingyangzi's disciple Liu Zhen. He is really young."
"I've always heard about his reputation. Today is the first time I've seen him in person. His magnanimity... I just don't know what kind of person Gu Chen is, who is as famous as him. Has he also come to Nanyang City?"
Because of his excitement, Liu Zhen did not have that calm demeanor at this time, let alone his free and easy demeanor. When he heard others talking and comparing him and Gu Chen, he felt an unknown anger rising and falling in his heart, but strangely, He actually couldn't get angry at all. The beautiful figure that flashed through his mind filled his heart with tenderness.
However, even if he gave his name, and even the waiter had indeed heard of him, he still had no intention of getting out of the way, and said politely: "Master Liu, I'm sorry, our shopkeeper is not here, and because of circumstances, our shopkeeper No one should know you."
Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what the waiter meant, but he still insisted: "She knows me. You just need to tell her and she will see me."
The waiter still shook his head and said: "If Mr. Liu really knows our shopkeeper, of course he will meet him at the Mingyuexin Conference. The shop has no vacancies. I'm really sorry. Fellow Taoists, please come back."
Facing a group of immortal cultivators, the waiter in this shop has his own confidence. However, no one can see his true cultivation level despite everyone's spiritual awareness. If he is not a profound cultivation base, he may have a rare treasure that hides his spirit. He was close to me, so even though he appeared in this inn as a waiter, no one dared to despise or offend him.
Liu Zhen had no choice but to turn around, but for the first time in ten years, there was news about Zhao Yueling. The Yueling Inn she opened was here, and she was really unwilling to let him leave like this.
Suddenly, he remembered someone, turned to look at the waiter, and asked: "Your shopkeeper is not here, is Uncle Bai here?"
The waiter's face suddenly froze.
After a long while, he waved to Liu Zhen politely, pointed to a door behind the counter, and said, "Master Liu, please follow me."
Under the confused gazes of everyone, Liu Zhen was led in by the waiter, and another person walked out, taking over the waiter's duties and entertaining the guests in the store.
Because there were no more rooms, these guests gathered here to no avail. They walked out of the store one after another to find accommodation elsewhere. There were also some good people who stayed here because they were curious about Liu Zhen's whereabouts and never left.
Liu Zhen followed the waiter into the depths of the inn. Here was a courtyard with exquisite and natural decoration. It reminded him of what he had experienced at the Yueling Inn in Zhiming City ten years ago. The environment could be said to be exactly the same. There were several butterflies flying here. Extremely beautiful and fascinating.
"Past life butterfly."
Liu Zhen murmured softly, and saw a few more spiritual bees flying in. Following the few deceased butterflies dancing among the flowers, they buzzed closer.
The departed butterfly flaps its wings gently and dances gracefully, its position changing, flexible and elusive.
They kept a distance from the spirit bee at all times, as if they didn't want the spirit bee to get close.
Liu Zhen subconsciously looked at the ground and saw countless spiritual bees lying on the ground. Although their bodies were intact, they were lifeless. This was so similar to the scene ten years ago that it could almost be said to be a reappearance of the scene.
Liu Zhen couldn't help but get excited.
As the waiter walked inside, his steps became more brisk, and he could almost imagine that he had walked around the flowers in front and found a pavilion where the beautiful lady was waiting.
Seeing the waiter stop, Liu Zhen stepped over, but was stopped by the waiter without leaving a trace. He only saw the waiter saying respectfully to a person in the garden: "Uncle Bai, the 'person' is here."
The word "人" is very soft, but it has a lot of charm. People can immediately hear the difference in syllables between this word and other words.
Liu Zhen also looked at the man in the garden, Uncle Bai. He had not changed at all in the past ten years.
But Liu Zhen didn't care about him, his eyes wandered around.
Uncle Bai waved his hand to the waiter to get out, and then said to Liu Zhen: "Miss is not here."
Liu Zhen asked anxiously: "Where is she?"
Uncle Bai looked at Liu Zhen deeply, his face remained expressionless, and then said: "In the past ten years, you have grown rapidly, and you are worthy of being Qingyangzi's disciple."
Liu Zhen didn't want to hear these compliments and persisted: "Uncle Bai, please tell me where Yue Ling is. I want to see her."
"She also wants to see you." Uncle Bai said in a slightly cold tone, "But I don't want her to see you."
Liu Zhen's heart fluctuated violently with the first sentence, and he was inexplicably excited, and then quickly calmed down. In any case, now he has arrived at Yueling Inn, and the distance between him and Zhao Yueling is not far away.
He looked at Uncle Bai and asked, "Why? Did I offend Uncle Bai somewhere?"
Uncle Bai shook his head gently and said: "It's not that I hate you. Your qualifications are one in a million, and I admire you very much. It's just that the world of immortality is very muddy now, and natural disasters are about to happen. However, people's hearts are different. , one’s stance will determine one’s behavior.”
"Uncle Bai..."
Liu Zhen was eager to defend himself, but Uncle Bai waved his hand and interrupted him, saying: "It's useless to tell you this now. Under the general situation, you can't even care about yourself. It is true that you have unlimited possibilities in the future, but you are still the same now. Too weak, you have to know that what you think may not come true, so you have to take care of yourself."
Uncle Bai turned around to leave, but the voice continued.
"Miss named this place Yueling Inn just in case you would come to the door. I didn't agree with it at first, but I didn't expect you to actually come. Everyone in the whole inn knew that Miss was here. Wait for the 'person' to come, but no one knows it's you. This is what I did intentionally. Since you are here after all, just stay here. There is a room specially reserved for you, but now you can't see the lady. If she is not here, you will naturally see her when the Mingyuexin Conference begins."
After Uncle Bai left, the entire courtyard was empty. No one came to disturb Liu Zhen. Only the bees and butterflies in the courtyard were chasing each other, leaving behind an increasing number of dead bees.
