Chapter 324: Returning to the Flowing Clouds
“You two, why aren’t you practicing at this hour, what are you gossiping about here?”
A man in his early twenties with a majestic face walked over. However, in response to his chiding, the two Xuanfu disciples who were talking about Yun Che were not afraid, as they simultaneously hemmed and hawed and said, “Instructor Sikong, we were wrong, don’t be angry, we’ll go back to the practicing room right now.”
When this person appeared, Yun Che was slightly stunned because he was clearly someone he recognized …… Sikong Han’s son, Sikong Du who had given himself a lot of help in the Cangfeng Xuanfu back then!
Hm? Mentor Sikong? At first, he said that after graduating from the Cang Feng Xuanfu, he wouldn’t stay in the Imperial City, but would return to the Crescent City to avoid the royal family’s turmoil, and he really did so, and even became a tutor in the Crescent Xuanfu …… Although he was very young, not much older than the disciples of the Xuanfu, but now that he has formally stepped into the Spirit Xuan realm, he would be a tutor to these disciples, and would be completely qualified. completely qualified.
“By the way, Tutor Sikong, I heard that when you were in the Cangfeng Xuan Mansion back then, you once had contact with Yun Che, is that true?”
Sikong Du’s eyes twitched as he nodded slightly and said, “His grandfather and my father have some friendship, so when he first entered the Cangfeng Xuanfu, I took the initiative to find him and also tried to give him some help. But later on, thinking about it, with my meager abilities but going to think of myself as ‘helping’ a supreme genius like him, it is really a bit childish and ridiculous …… Well, you guys hurry up and go practice, this is not the place for you to chat first.”
“Yes, Instructor Sikong.”
The two Xuanfu disciples quickly ran away. Sikong Du seemed to have thought of something, a very melancholy sigh, and just as he was about to take a step, a voice came from his right side: “Senior Brother Sikong, long time no see.”
Sikong Du glanced sideways, then his entire body moved, his jaws staring at Yun Che who was walking towards him, almost unable to believe his eyes, “Yun Che! How did you …… you end up here?”
“Shhh!!!” Yun Che hastily made a silencing gesture, fearing that Sikong Du’s voice would invite others, as he approached, “I didn’t realize that Senior Brother Sikong had become a mentor of the Crescent Moon Xuanfu, it’s truly astonishing …… I guess, you should be the youngest mentor in the history of the Crescent Moon Xuanfu, right? ”
“Currently, it’s just a trainee tutor, partly, and with the convenience of my father.” Sikong Du looked Yun Che up and down, the surprise in his eyes lingering for a long time as he laughed self-deprecatingly, “But this bit of achievement of mine is simply unimportant compared to you. You are now a sensation in the world, a figure whose reputation even surpasses that of the four great sects, and you are the pride of the Cangfeng Xuanfu. Thinking back to when I even tried to help, and even reprimanded you time and time again, it is really shameful.”
“Senior Brother Sikong is wrong about that.” Yun Che sincerely said, “When I first arrived at the Cangfeng Xuanfu, Senior Brother Sikong gave me a great deal of help and guidance, without Senior Brother Sikong’s help, it would have been impossible for me to settle down in the Xuanfu so quickly. These, I have always kept in my heart.”
“Hahahahaha.” Sikong Du laughed cheerfully and exclaimed, “Without pretense, hypocrisy, or bullying, you are many times better than the geniuses that those large sects cultivate with their reserves and resources.” He swept his gaze around and said, “Enough of the unnecessary words, you made a special trip back here, you should have something important to do, right? I’ve sort of settled down in the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion now, so if it’s something concerning the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion, I might be able to help.”
Yun Che nodded slightly and said, “I came here because I have a matter that requires Elder Sikong’s help. I wonder where he is now?”
“My father?” Sikong Du froze, then said, “Father, he just happened to head south two days ago, and he won’t be able to return until at least three days from now……. If it’s not something particularly important, you can tell me about it, and I might be able to help.”
“It’s not really a big deal.” Yun Che didn’t hesitate and said, “I’m preparing to make a trip back to Liuyun City to pick up my grandfather and little aunt. The Xiao Sect is cowardly and heartless, and owes my grandfather and little aunt too much, and after I reunite with them, there is no way I will let them remain in the Xiao Sect. The Imperial City is in a mess right now, and coupled with the various forces and complex patterns there, I also don’t feel comfortable placing them there, so ……”
Regarding Yun Che and the Xiao Sect, Sikong Du had heard about it from Sikong Han. He instantly understood and smiled, “I thought it was something, but it turned out to be such a simple matter. This matter does not need to go through my father, I can promise here that as long as Uncle Xiao is willing to come here, as long as Uncle Xiao is willing to come here, from the Deputy Prefects and Tutors, down to the Co-Investigators and Idle Secretaries, all of them will be at the disposal of Uncle Xiao, and there will never be anyone who treats him poorly here.”
Sikong Du let out a laugh and said, “Besides, with your reputation, if you want to arrange Grandpa in our Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion, Mistress Zhou, or even the Lord of Crescent Moon City would hate to personally carry a sedan chair to greet him, or perhaps the Cang Feng Xuan Mansion would come all the way over to snatch him, you’re not seeking our help, you’re giving the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion a great gift from the heavens.”
Yun Che smiled heartily and said, “Good, I’d like to thank Senior Brother Sikong for being concerned about this matter, I’ll be moving back to Liuyun City.”
“Be careful on the road, I heard that after you stirred up the big wedding between Burning Jie Cheng and Princess Cang Yue, and even seriously injured Burning Jie Cheng, the Burning Heaven Sect’s people are searching for you everywhere. The Burning Sky Sect’s thousand year old sect has never suffered such a strange shame, even if you are now famous and have an extremely large number of supporters and admirers, the Burning Sky Sect will definitely not let up, you’d better be able to conceal your whereabouts at all times.” Sikong Du reminded.
Yun Che smiled casually, “I know.”
The world knew that Yun Che had stirred up the Burning Sky Young Lord’s welcoming bride, and did not yet know that Yun Che alone had counter-killed the eight Heavenly Xuan powerhouses sent by the Burning Sky Sect to hunt him down……. It also included the Grand Elder, otherwise, the Cangfeng Empire would certainly have set off an even more turbulent sensation due to him.
“By the way, there is something, I don’t know if it will help you.” Sikong Du thought of something and suddenly said, “I went to send my father back outside of Crescent City a few days ago, and vaguely saw a very familiar nasty face, this person, whom you also recognize, seems to have clashed with you.”
“Who?” Yun Che questioned.
“Burning Jade Dust!”
“Him??” Yun Che was slightly stunned. Burning Jie Dust, Burning Broken Soul’s third son, who had left the Burning Heaven Sect to enter the Cangfeng Xuan Mansion due to his disagreement with Burning Jiebi, and who had long been ranked number one in the Inner Mansion’s Tianxuan Ranking List, but had been abused by him on the day when he had traveled to the Heavenly Sword Villa to participate in the Ranking Battle for having offended him! He also failed to participate in the qualifying battle because of this, and there has been no news of him since then.
“When I left the Cang Feng Xuan Mansion, I seem to have heard that he had returned to the Burning Sky Sect because of Burning Jiebi’s death, and I haven’t paid any attention to him since then. A hasty glance that day seemed to be him, but there is no reason for him to appear here, and the Burning Sky Outer Sect there hasn’t had any unusual movements lately …… Or maybe it’s just that I’ve been looking at it wrong.” Sikong Du hesitantly said.
Yun Che pondered slightly and nodded, “I see. Senior Brother Sikong, thank you for telling me this, we should meet again soon.”
After leaving voice transmission seals with Sikong Du with each other, Yun Che left the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion, mounted the Snow Phoenix Beast, and headed straight to Liuyun City.
As the smallest city in the Cangfeng Empire, Liuyun City seemed to never have anything to do with “lively” and “prosperous”.
When the slightly quiet and outdated small city was fully displayed in his sight, Yun Che’s heart was beating uncontrollably, “fluttering” and “fluttering”.
After living here for sixteen years, how could Yun Che not have feelings for this small city that carried all of his childhood memories.
The Liuyun City in his line of sight was getting closer and closer, getting bigger and bigger, and gradually, he could vaguely see where the Xiao Sect was located, as well as the dark green mountain behind the Xiao Sect.
A kind of near-hometown emotion fluttered in his heart, the figures of the two people floated incomparably clear in his mind, the desire to see them immediately was as intense as a flood that broke the dike, looking ahead, his eyes blurred slightly, and he couldn’t help but mutter to himself under his breath: ”Grandpa, Little Auntie, I’m back … …I’m back …… I will never let anyone bully you guys again ……”
Between the surges of his heart, he had already arrived above the city gates of Liuyun City, if he continued on, the Snow Phoenix Beast would undoubtedly cause a huge stir throughout the city, Yun Che put away the Snow Phoenix Beast, landed outside the city gates, and stepped on foot into the familiar, yet slightly unfamiliar Liuyun City.
Without realizing it, three years had passed.
These three years of experience, when he thought about it at this moment, it was really like a dream.
At first, he left Liuyun City with hatred, vowing to come back within three years with a strength strong enough to crush the Xiao Sect, and to make the entire Xiao Sect kneel down and beg grandpa and little aunt to leave the Sizen Gorge …… And at that time, despite the poisonous oath, he was very clear about how hard it was to do so. So he desperately cultivated, desperately to provoke the enemy to maximize their own ……
At that time, he would not have thought that three years had passed, and his strength was more than just crushing the Xiao Sect …… At this moment, the Xiao Sect, in front of his current level of strength, did not even have the qualifications to let him look at him squarely in the eyes.
Walking on the land of Liuyun City, Yun Che’s footsteps were actually a bit weak, obviously his heart was incomparably eager, but his footsteps, however, were not that fast, he was thinking about how to embrace Grandpa and Little Auntie after he saw them, and what to say to them, whether he should laugh. Or should they cry ……
The streets of Liuyun City were not too crowded, people were in a hurry with their feet, not many people bothered to notice him, even if they brushed past him, no one would directly recognize him as the waste plus joke that was driven out of Liuyun City three years ago.
Yun Che walked through street after street, getting closer and closer to the Xiao Gate, and at this moment, he stopped his footsteps and raised his head to look at the imposing gate in front of him, the plaque on the gate was encrusted with two large golden characters:
Xia Mansion.
This was the home of Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba.
As a business family, the Xia Mansion would normally be filled with a lively atmosphere with a commercial flavor, but at this moment, standing in front of the Xia Mansion, what Yun Che could feel was a quietness that had not existed in his memories. He stood there for a while, and instead of continuing forward, he collected his breath, leaped high, jumped over the fence, and silently fell into the Xia Mansion’s compound.
