139: Go to Gao's house
Wang Yi was the commander of Mulan Manor. Nan Qingyue could not trust this man.
Nan Qingyue was even less willing to pin all her hopes on Wang Yi.
After all, there were too many unknowns surrounding Wang Yi; if any unforeseen circumstances were to arise, it would be bad.
"You have been out for so long, you must remember to cultivate," Li Changfeng said, turning his head to look at Nan Qingyue. "Do not forget the purpose of our journey; we are here for the Immortal Sect Tournament."
"I know, Master. Rest assured, I have been practicing all along," Nan Qingyue said with a slight smile.
"Is that so?" Li Changfeng's eyes lit up. "Then let Master test your cultivation."
Hearing this, Nan Qingyue's face darkened, and she let out a long sigh.
Nan Qingyue felt quite helpless; she had not expected this situation.
"Master, could we leave it for today? This Disciple is still a bit tired," Nan Qingyue said, her face flushing slightly as she tried to persuade Li Changfeng.
Since coming down the mountain, Nan Qingyue had not been cultivating.
Li Changfeng's sudden inspection today had truly caught Nan Qingyue off guard.
And just at this moment.
Nan Qingyue slowly raised her head, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.
"Master, how about this Disciple does it another day?" Nan Qingyue chuckled.
Originally, Li Changfeng had wanted to treat Nan Qingyue according to the standards of a strict master.
But seeing Nan Qingyue like this, Li Changfeng shook his head helplessly.
"Fine, fine, I will not check you then," Li Changfeng sighed. "Let's do this. You must practice diligently; you carry the future of the Divine Sword Sect on your shoulders."
"Yes, Master, this Disciple understands!" Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously, looking as if she had taken it to heart.
"Alright, the time has come, let's go," Li Changfeng said, looking up at the sky.
Time had passed quickly.
It was now noon.
Li Changfeng looked around, but Wang Yi still had not appeared.
"Okay, Master, let's go. But where are we going now?" Nan Qingyue asked, somewhat puzzled.
Nan Qingyue was even more confused; she did not know what to do.
It had always been Li Changfeng guiding her; Nan Qingyue had never thought for herself.
"We are going to the Gao Family to take a look. The Seven-Colored Powder must have been taken by the Gao Family yesterday. I just can't be sure if Wang Yi actually got his hands on it. However, the only place we can get information right now is the Gao Family," Li Changfeng's eyes lit up as he looked in the direction of the Gao Family.
Li Changfeng had already made his plans.
It did not matter if Wang Yi could not get the Seven-Colored Powder; besides, he could handle it himself.
In this way.
Li Changfeng could consider himself to have a backup plan.
"Alright, Master, let's go now," Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously.
In truth, in Nan Qingyue's eyes, whatever Li Changfeng said was correct. Whatever Master said to do, that was what must be done.
Everything Li Changfeng did was right.
Li Changfeng tapped his toes lightly, and his entire body soared into the air.
Immediately.
Li Changfeng took Nan Qingyue with him, and the two of them traveled through the air.
Two beams of light streaked across the sky, and a Spiritual Wave rippled through the air, spreading out in waves like ripples.
"Wow, Master, has your Realm improved again? This time you can carry me while flying!" Nan Qingyue chuckled.
Nan Qingyue was full of curiosity, looking down at the ground.
The dilapidated temple from earlier gradually grew smaller, eventually becoming a tiny black dot.
With fields and rivers intermingled, Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up as she gazed at the scene.
"It is not an improvement; Master's Realm has always been like this," Li Changfeng nodded gently.
"Let's go, hold on tight," Li Changfeng reminded her.
Upon hearing this.
Nan Qingyue immediately hugged Li Changfeng and smiled slightly.
Immediately after, Nan Qingyue gasped; having experienced this, she felt a lingering fear.
After all, it was the first time Nan Qingyue realized she was actually a bit afraid of heights.
"Uh, Qingyue, could you please not move around?" Li Changfeng's face flushed red, and he felt quite helpless.
Li Changfeng swallowed hard, trying his best to calm himself down.
And just at this moment.
Li Changfeng frowned tightly and turned his head to look at Nan Qingyue.
"Master, what is wrong?" Nan Qingyue did not know what was going on; she was curious and had not yet realized what had happened.
"Do not touch things randomly with your hands," Li Changfeng said, finding it hard to speak.
"My hands? Master, what is wrong?" Nan Qingyue was even more confused.
Suddenly, Nan Qingyue felt a hard sensation on her hand. Her heart trembled, and she gasped.
Although Nan Qingyue did not know what it was, she understood that this must be something bad.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master!" Nan Qingyue's face flushed bright red, and she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
Nan Qingyue felt helpless; she had not done it on purpose.
Li Changfeng was even more helpless. He let out a long sigh, "Alright, sit still."
"Yes, Master," Nan Qingyue said, her face bright red.
The scene from just moments ago was still vivid in her mind.
Nan Qingyue let out a long sigh and held Li Changfeng tightly.
Half an incense stick later.
Li Changfeng landed smoothly on the ground with Nan Qingyue.
This was the residence of the Gao Family.
"Be careful, this is the residence of the Gao Family; do not make a sound," Li Changfeng said with a dark expression, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
There were surprisingly no Guards at the Gao Family residence, nor was there any aura of experts here.
The entire courtyard was filled with Death Qi; it was somewhat strange here.
"Understood, Master," Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously.
And just at this moment.
A group of people suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
These people were dressed in black robes, and their robes bore a red leaf pattern.
"These people!" Nan Qingyue's pupils constricted violently; her eyes lit up as she stared fixedly at these people.
"Qingyue, what is wrong?" Li Changfeng asked, somewhat curious.
When Nan Qingyue saw these people, she suddenly revealed a serious expression.
Looking at Nan Qingyue's appearance, she seemed to recognize these people.
But, who exactly were this group of people?
"It is nothing, Master," Nan Qingyue said, a cold glint flashing in her eyes as she gazed at the group, clutching her fists tightly.
The anger in Nan Qingyue's heart was instantly ignited as she stared at the group.
"Alright, let's go; this is no place to stay for long," Li Changfeng said with a dark expression.
This group did not know where they came from, and they did not look like the Gao Family.
Moreover, Nan Qingyue seemed to know these people, but she was unwilling to say more.
Li Changfeng was as clear as a mirror; there must be something between Nan Qingyue and these people, or perhaps some past grievances.
Otherwise, Nan Qingyue would not have revealed such an expression.
"Yes, Master," Nan Qingyue nodded, but she did not say anything more.
Li Changfeng did not want to stay any longer, so he took Nan Qingyue and headed straight for the courtyard of the Gao Family.
Who exactly were those people?
Why did Nan Qingyue reveal such an expression when she saw them?
These things were simply too strange.
