Chapter 365

Recalling how Nie Qianyu's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help smiling. It was true that the saying, "Every festive season, one would think twice of one's loved ones." Even though Nie Qianyu usually behaved like an adult, it was only at this moment that Zhang Xiaohua realized that she was just a little girl who had just turned twelve.

Zhang Xiaohua had given Nie Qianyu the name "Little Fish" that day. He had wanted to call her "Little Rabbit", but there were no similar words in her name. Therefore, he could only take a step back and call her "Little Yu" as "Little Fish". Anyway, it was Nie Qianyu who asked him to call her "Little Fish". What did it have to do with Zhang Xiaohua?

At first, Nie Qianyu was very happy, thinking that Zhang Xiaohua finally called her by her nickname. However, after listening carefully, she realized that it was not her imagination. Therefore, she clung to Zhang Xiaohua and begged him to change it. However, until now, didn't Zhang Xiaohua still call her "Little Fish"?

Thinking of Nie Qianyu's red eyes, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but think of the occasion when he celebrated Nie Qianyu's birthday. Before the three of them entered Tanhe City, they had told each other their ages. At that time, Nie Qianyu said that she was going to celebrate her twelfth birthday in a month. At that time, Zhang Xiaohua only felt that this little girl who was not even twelve years old had more experience than him. He could not compare with her at all. However, on that day, he suddenly had this idea on a whim. After counting the days, wasn't it the little girl's twelfth birthday?

That day, when they passed by a rural town, Zhang Xiaohua saw that Nie Qianyu and Little Orange seemed to have forgotten about it. Therefore, he got off the car at the last minute and went to an inn to buy twelve red eggs for Nie Qianyu.

"Yes, I remember when I was in Guozhuang House, didn't my mother cook eggs for me on my birthday?

Since today is Nie Qianyu's birthday, I naturally have to buy her boiled red eggs. "

This was also the only thing Zhang Xiaohua bought with her own money along the way.

Thinking back to the time when he saw Nie Qianyu's face full of surprise and gratitude, Zhang Xiaohua felt happy in his heart. After all, the price of twelve copper coins was reduced to eleven copper coins by him, and he even won the little girl's laughter. How could he not be happy?

That day, Nie Qianyu was tearing up while eating the eggs, as if the eggs were the most delicious thing in the world. Thinking of her teary eyes, Zhang Xiaohua curls her lips secretly. Eating six eggs at one time? Isn't she afraid of choking?

No wonder her eyes turned red when she cried. It would be a pity if she wasn't called 'Little Rabbit'.

As Zhang Xiaohua thought of the interesting things that happened along the way, the silhouette of Ping Yang City appeared in her vision. In the snowy twilight, Ping Yang City was still as majestic as ever. However, the people had changed. Zhang Xiaohua's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Galloping into the city, Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to be careless. She found an inn in a more remote area of Ping Yang City. It was the new year now and the inn's business wasn't very good. Seeing that there were guests, the innkeeper was very happy. This was the first business of the new year and they had booked an independent courtyard. According to the 'coachman', they were going to stay for a few more days. Naturally, the innkeeper was very attentive to them and tried his best to flatter the two ladies. However, after a while, seeing that the two ladies were following Zhang Xiaohua's lead, he realized that he had misjudged them. He immediately changed his attitude and walked towards Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't have the patience for this. She drove the carriage to the courtyard and left the odd beasts and the black horse in the care of the innkeeper. She unloaded the items from the carriage and put them in a room. She didn't need the innkeeper to find help. Seeing this, the innkeeper naturally knew what to do. He instructed the shop assistants to do what they were supposed to do and quickly left, so as not to disturb the three of them in the courtyard.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua had unloaded the items from the carriage, unlike in the past where she would leave everything in the carriage for the night in order to make it easier for them to travel in the morning, Nie Qianyu and Xiao Juzi's hearts skipped a beat. "Could it be that Ping Yang City is the place where he is going to do his business?"

Indeed, after Nie Qianyu and Xiao Juzi had finished packing and were waiting for their meal, Zhang Xiaohua pushed the door open and entered. She smiled and said, "It's the fifth day of the lunar New Year now. I have already asked the inn to make dumplings for you. You must eat your fill later."

Nie Qianyu stood up and asked, "Big Brother Ren, from what you said, it seems that you don't intend to eat with us later?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "I still have something to do and will go out for a while. I may be back late tonight. You guys can eat by yourselves."

"Back tonight?

Big Brother Ren, are you going to do something? "

Nie Qianyu asked anxiously.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and didn't answer. Nie Qianyu blinked and said, "Big Brother Ren, be careful."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and turned to leave the room. She walked into the snowy night in a few steps.

Two pairs of concerned eyes followed him from inside the house until his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Nie Qianyu turned around and asked, "Xiao Juzi, do you think Big Brother Ren is going to do something tonight?"

Xiao Juzi smiled and said, "Miss, how would I know?

But seeing that he didn't answer you, it seems to be the case. "

"But, from what he said, he will be back tonight. Does that mean that we can continue our journey to Carefree City tomorrow?

But since we can leave tomorrow, why should we unload the things in the carriage? "

Xiao Juzi smiled bitterly and said, "We don't have to worry about these things. Miss, you just focus on eating dumplings. I heard that the dumplings in the north are different from those in Carefree City. You have to try more dumplings later."

Nie Qianyu looked disappointed and murmured, "No matter how delicious it is, can it be better than red eggs?"

If Zhang Xiaohua was here, she would definitely refute her, "Of course, braised pork is better than red eggs."

Unfortunately, he was on the way to Misty Mountain Villa and didn't know about Nie Qianyu's girlish feelings.

Yes, Zhang Xiaohua was walking to Misty Mountain Villa.

The sky had already darkened, and the snow continued to fall endlessly. It had already covered the sun, and now it was no different from the night. There were few people on the streets, and they were all wearing new clothes and hiding in their houses to enjoy the rare New Year's atmosphere. Zhang Xiaohua did not intend to use the Levitation Technique or the Earth Escape Technique, because his thoughts were now very chaotic. He was somewhat anxious to see the Misty Mountain Villa and the Huan Xi Mountain Villa, but he was also somewhat afraid. This kind of contradictory mood could only be slowly calmed down by walking in the empty streets and alleys, and walking in the dark night.

Zhang Xiaohua walked out of Ping Yang City alone in the snow. The sky was also dark and there weren't many people in the city. Even if there were people hurriedly passing by in the snow, they wouldn't pay too much attention to him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be shocking if he didn't have an umbrella in his hand and snow on his body?

Walking on the even more spacious road outside the city, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly stopped. He seemed to have figured something out. He looked up at the dark night sky and the snowflakes that floated in from time to time. He turned back to look at the footprints he had left on the snow. They had already been covered by the rapidly falling snowflakes. He then looked at the snow-white road in front of him that didn't have any traces. Zhang Xiaohua's lips curled into a smile.

"I've walked on the road behind me and left traces, but they won't last long. What kind of thing in this world can last long?

It's just a matter of time. "

"I haven't walked on the road ahead. It's up to me to decide what kind of traces I want to leave.

They can be the same as the footprints behind me, or … "

At the thought of this, Zhang Xiaohua floated up and used the levitation technique. He leaped into the air and flew forward like a deity.

"I can also be different from before and not leave any traces on the road."

"Without destruction, there can be no construction. This must be the case."

"The Misty School has long been on the decline in the pugilistic world. It's a miracle that it has survived for so many years. In the pugilistic world, survival of the fittest is the most realistic thing. It's normal that the three sects would join forces to destroy it. Moreover, the Dalin Temple and the Incense Cult actually allowed Hu Yunyi to escape from Ethereal Peak with the descendants of the Misty School. This is an anomaly. Could it be that they let them go because they are all descendants of the Immortal Dao?

Or … is there something else going on? "

"The Misty School is now as broken as it can be. However, the foundation of Misty Heights is still there. It's just that it's been occupied by the Righteous Alliance. The two leaders of the Righteous Alliance have been crippled. I don't know what's going on now. They probably won't have any extra thoughts on Misty Heights. It's not impossible for the Misty School to rise again.

If there is such a day, I believe the Ethereal Sect will prosper once again. "

"However, Sect Leader Ou has committed suicide. The Misty School has lost its backbone. Only three of the Six Misty Tigers are left. Two of them have been crippled. Hu Yunyi is also seriously injured and his martial arts have been greatly reduced. The eldest disciple of the Sect Leader, Zhang Chengyue, has also committed suicide. Sigh, it's like a plate of loose sand now.

"Forget it. After I send Little Fishy home, I'll go to the Incense Cult and find Second Brother first.

I'm also not a disciple of the Misty School. Why should I worry about this for no reason? "

Although Misty Heights was quite a distance away from Ping Yang City, Zhang Xiaohua quickly arrived in front of the archway of Misty Heights with her levitation technique. Zhang Xiaohua stood in front of the straight road and couldn't help but think of the scene when she first came here.

"Sigh, things remain the same, but people have changed."

In the darkness, the smooth road was covered with white snow and reflected white light. Zhang Xiaohua sighed and walked up. It was as if she wanted to relive the feelings of that day.

Zhang Xiaohua slowly walked towards the archway of Misty Heights and released her divine sense. Perhaps it was because it was the new year or because it had been many years since the Misty School was destroyed, the Righteous Alliance's protection had already been lax. Tonight, there weren't any disciples of the Righteous Alliance guarding the archway.

When Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense saw the two ancient words "Misty" on the archway, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
