Chapter 21: Meeting the Beauty Again

Huo Du’s expression was very poor!

Now that he had won and stood there, this group of Wulin people from the Central Plains did not spare him a single glance, as if he did not even exist.

Not only him, even Imperial Preceptor Jinlun rarely looked at Wei Ziqing, but upon doing so, a cold glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He actually could not see through this youth’s martial arts cultivation !

“Hero Guo, now that I have won one round, do you still want to fight? If not, then I shall be considered the winner, and you should hand over the position of Wulin Alliance Chief!”

Huo Du looked mockingly at the many Wulin figures present and spoke to Guo Jing; they were now determined to get the position of Wulin Alliance Chief!

“Wulin Alliance Chief? In your dreams!”

“Right, for a despicable and shameless person like you, how can this round count!”

Huo Du’s words finally pulled the attention of the Wulin figures back, and one by one, they cursed Huo Du with righteous indignation, but Huo Du looked completely indifferent.

The winner is king and the loser is a bandit; anyway, a win was a win, and no matter how they cursed, it could not change the result!

“Rong’er, what should we do? This…” Guo Jing looked at Huang Rong with a trace of worry on his face. If Huo Du won another round, the position of Wulin Alliance Chief would belong to Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, so how could he not worry?

“Brother Jing, do not worry!” Huang Rong shook her head to comfort Guo Jing, then turned toward Wei Ziqing. A flash of hesitation appeared in her eyes, but she walked toward him.

“Young Hero Wei, can you enter the field for this round?”

Huang Rong had thought carefully before choosing Wei Ziqing. Now she was pregnant, and Guo Jing could not make a move. As for asking others to step up…

Facing the cunning Huo Du, Huang Rong had little confidence in her heart!

More importantly, Wei Ziqing’s strength was not inferior to her own!

“You want me to enter the field?” Wei Ziqing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the elegant and graceful Huang Rong before him, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: “I, Wei Ziqing, am a rebellious person. Are you sure you want me to fight?”

Wei Ziqing truly did not expect that Huang Rong would actually seek him out.

Shouldn’t Lu Youjiao be the one to fight now?

The plot had truly been completely changed because of his appearance!

“Before a foreign enemy, even if we in the Central Plains have many conflicts, should we not resist the enemy together? As for other things, we can discuss them later. What do you think, Young Hero Wei?”

Huang Rong looked at Wei Ziqing with a smile. She was not afraid that Wei Ziqing would refuse, because she believed he would not!

Heh!

Wei Ziqing smiled slightly. This Huang Rong was indeed as she was in the original story, truly brilliant. The way she spoke actually left him speechless!

She was not wrong. The affairs of the Central Plains Wulin were like family matters; even if he had many conflicts with them, he would never do something as foolish as airing family dirty laundry in front of outsiders.

Wei Ziqing looked deeply at Huang Rong, but she was wrong!

He saw things more clearly than she did. Not to mention whether Huo Du could win so smoothly, even if he won, how could the Central Plains Wulin let Imperial Preceptor Jinlun become the Wulin Alliance Chief?

Just as he was about to refuse, Wei Ziqing’s whole body suddenly shuddered. He abruptly looked toward the direction outside Lu Family Manor, and a gentle expression appeared on his face.

Not only Wei Ziqing, but Yang Guo beside him was the same. However, unlike Wei Ziqing, Yang Guo had a look of surprise on his face.

A faint fragrance, ethereal like a Tianshan snow lotus, drifted through the air and brushed against Wei Ziqing’s nose.

It was a very familiar scent. Wei Ziqing had only smelled this aura on one person. Even though more than half a year had passed, even though she was far away, and even though she had not yet appeared, Wei Ziqing still knew that she had come!

“This is…” Huang Rong did not quite understand what was happening to Wei Ziqing. She followed his gaze, but the entrance of Lu Family Manor remained empty, with no sign of anyone, which left Huang Rong even more confused.

“Brother Yang, what is wrong with you?” Cheng Ying asked softly beside Yang Guo; she had also noticed Yang Guo’s abnormality.

“She is here!” Yang Guo’s eyes became slightly red, containing both surprise and, more so, longing. This longing was not the longing between a man and a woman, but the longing for an elder.

“She? Do you mean…”

“Yes, my Madam!”

Hearing this, Cheng Ying quickly looked toward the entrance of Lu Family Manor. Just then, in the air above the empty entrance, a delicate figure in white arrived gracefully and stood upon the roof eaves.

Her gaze slowly shifted across everyone’s faces, as if she were searching for someone.

The crowd of heroes in the hall had been cursing Huo Du, but the moment the girl in white arrived, everyone involuntarily looked at her.

They saw that her face was pale, appearing somewhat sickly, yet this made her seem even more elegant and otherworldly, her beauty incomparable.

People often used the words “beautiful as a Heaven Immortal” to describe a woman’s beauty, but no one knew exactly how a Heaven Immortal looked. Now, upon seeing the girl, the words “beautiful as a Heaven Immortal” involuntarily surged in everyone’s hearts.

Her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light smoke and mist, appearing both real and illusory, as if she were not a person of the mortal world.

The moment Wei Ziqing saw the girl, his whole body stiffened, and his chest felt as if it had been struck heavily by a large iron hammer. Even his breathing became slow. Looking at the girl, his gaze revealed an unprecedented tenderness and a sense of avoidance.

This person was Little Dragon Maiden!

Since the day Wei Ziqing left the Ancient Tomb, although Little Dragon Maiden had said nothing, her heart had become somewhat unsettled, especially because of the words Wei Ziqing had spoken before he left.

Originally, she did not know what they meant, but since Yang Guo’s adoptive father came to Mount Zhongnan, she truly understood why Wei Ziqing had warned her to be careful.

Previously, Ouyang Feng had wanted to strike Little Dragon Maiden’s acupoints, but because she was prepared, she was not hit.

Shortly after, she also encountered Zhen Zhibing, who was heading to the back mountain.

When Little Dragon Maiden encountered Zhen Zhibing, her normally cold face could not help but show a hint of lingering fear.

She suddenly remembered that if not for Wei Ziqing’s reminder, she would surely have had her acupoints struck, and if she had encountered Zhen Zhibing in that state…

From that day on, Little Dragon Maiden often thought of Wei Ziqing.

She thought of him dancing with a sword under the moon every night.

She thought of him standing in front of her, confronting Li Mochou.

She thought of him treating her injuries for three days and three nights in the secret room without closing his eyes once.

She often went to the place where they first met, but the place was already empty. Even whenever she practiced her martial arts, her heart was troubled.

Finally, when Yang Guo killed a disciple and escaped from the Ancient Tomb, Little Dragon Maiden decided to follow him down the mountain.

She did not know exactly what she wanted to do—find Yang Guo, or find him?

Finally, a few days ago, she accidentally heard two men talking in an inn, saying that the famous heroes of the world had gathered at Lu Family Manor in Dasheng Pass for a hero’s banquet. She felt that perhaps she should visit Dasheng Pass!

Aside from Hao Datong and Zhen Zhibing, the more than two thousand people in the hall did not know Little Dragon Maiden’s background; they only saw that she was extraordinarily beautiful, and everyone felt a unique sensation in their hearts.

Although Sun Bu’er knew who she was, she had never met her. Zhen Zhibing’s body trembled, and a hidden look of lust appeared in his eyes, though it was hidden very well and was not discovered by anyone!

“Madam!” When Yang Guo saw Little Dragon Maiden, he finally knew he could no longer hide. He quickly lowered his head and walked up. This scene was seen by Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who were greatly surprised.

They did not know when Yang Guo had gained a Madam!

Little Dragon Maiden looked indifferently at Yang Guo and did not respond to him, because at this moment, her gaze was fixed on the elegant youth in white who was leaning against a tree and looking at her.

Dressed in fluttering white, as if accompanied by light smoke and thin gauze, she drifted toward the youth like she was stepping on the moon, until she stood before him.

The two of them looked into each other’s eyes, gazing in silence.
