155: Come from Fenxiang Valley, see Shuiyue again

Chapter 155: Visitors from Incense Valley, Meeting Junior Sister Shui Yue Again

Just as Su Han thought everyone would continue forward.

But at this moment, Zeng Shuchang led the group to stop about a hundred miles outside Incense Valley.

Looking at everyone, Zeng Shuchang said, "This is far enough."

"Senior Brother Tianyun, contact the people from Incense Valley."

Su Han heard this, his face full of curiosity, and asked in confusion, "Shishu Zeng, why are we stopping so far away? Aren't we going directly to Incense Valley's mountain gate?"

Zeng Shuchang patted Su Han's shoulder, slowly shook his head, and patiently explained, "Su Han."

"The relationship between our Qingyun Sect and Incense Valley is not as good as it used to be."

"Thinking back then, the two Sects once worked hand in hand, jointly resisting the threat of the Demon Sect."

"But as time passed, various conflicts of interest and differences in philosophy gradually emerged..."

"Furthermore, the title of the number one Sect in the world has made the relationship between the two sides extremely delicate."

As he spoke.

Zeng Shuchang pointed to himself, Shang Zhengliang, and Tianyun Daoren.

"Excluding you for now, we openly have three Shangqing Realm experts, plus your Master Junior Sister Shui Yue, who is already in Incense Valley..."

"If four Shangqing Realm experts enter the heartland of Incense Valley together, how can Incense Valley feel at ease? They definitely won't allow it."

Saying this.

Zeng Shuchang lowered his voice so the Disciples behind them couldn't hear.

"And we are actually worried that Incense Valley might play some tricks..."

"After all, in this complex martial world, all Sects, regardless of righteousness or evil, are plotting for their own interests."

"If Incense Valley harbors ill intentions and captures all four Shangqing Realm experts in one fell swoop, that would be an incredibly huge blow to our Qingyun Sect."

After hearing this, Su Han suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is."

At this moment, Su Han deeply realized how complex the relationships between Sects were, filled with various suspicions and precautions.

"There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies, only eternal interests..."

"The value of this sentence is still increasing!"

Zeng Shuchang was slightly surprised upon hearing this, then smiled in admiration, "There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies, only eternal interests?"

"Yes, that's the principle."

"Right on the mark."

At this moment, Tianyun Daoren had already stepped forward a few steps, using a secret technique to contact Incense Valley.

As Tianyun Daoren moved his hand seals, a spiritual light instantly shot up into the sky, flickered a few times, and then disappeared.

"Junior Brother Zeng, it's done."

Zeng Shuchang nodded, "Then let's wait and be prepared to stay alert."

"Yes."

For a moment, everyone became alert, though they weren't sure if they were guarding against the potentially appearing Ten Thousand Poison Sect...

Or, guarding against Incense Valley.

At this moment, Su Han looked at the mountain range where Incense Valley was located, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Can't we enter Incense Valley?"

Before coming, Su Han had already decided to go to the Xuanhuo Altar to see Xiao Bai.

Even Little Grey was being kept in the Cave Heaven...

He hadn't even used his remaining eight chances to plunder traits, just wanting to harvest some traits from Xiao Bai.

But now.

Their group couldn't even enter within a hundred miles of Incense Valley, let alone the Xuanhuo Altar.

"This way, entering the Xuanhuo Altar has become much more difficult!"

Su Han sighed inwardly.

He slightly narrowed his eyes, contemplating how he could enter the Xuanhuo Altar without being discovered.

...

...

...

Time passed minute by minute.

Just as Zeng Shuchang and the others were starting to feel anxious from waiting, three brilliant rays of light appeared in the distant sky, rapidly flying towards them.

The lights drew closer.

The person leading was an old man with a lean and gaunt face, wearing a simple grey robe, which could be said to be very plain and unremarkable.

If he were walking in an ordinary town or street, you wouldn't be able to tell he was a cultivator.

Behind him was a wizened old man wearing the distinctive attire of the Incense Valley Sect.

However, he kept a certain distance from the person in the lead, and his eyes held a look of disgust.

As for the last person...

Su Han looked up, and his heart instantly sped up.

She wore a long white dress, her sleeves like flowing water gently fluttering in the breeze.

Her figure was tall and elegant, like a blue lotus blooming on a snowy mountain peak, cool and noble.

Her long hair was as black as ink, casually tied back at this moment, with a few strands gently dancing in the wind, adding a touch of ethereal beauty.

As for her face, it was absolutely beautiful, beyond reproach.

Her skin was like snow, her eyes deep and bright, like a clear lake, making one feel as though they could sink into them with just one glance.

Her lips were slightly pursed, giving a sense of cool dignity, naturally exuding a unique aura.

It was both the authority of a superior and the detachment and calmness of a cultivator.

Even if she just stood there quietly, her presence was absolutely impossible to ignore.

It was like a breathtaking painting, making people unable to resist stopping to admire, yet not daring to approach and profane it easily.

And this person was, naturally, Su Han's Master, his wife...

Junior Sister Shui Yue!

And the moment Su Han saw Junior Sister Shui Yue, whom he hadn't seen in two years, he instantly rushed out of the crowd.

His figure was as swift as an arrow shot from a bowstring, stirring up a breeze, his sleeves flapping in the wind.

Across from him, Junior Sister Shui Yue was originally quietly following Shangguan Ce and Lü Shun, her thoughts immersed in the upcoming meeting with the Senior Brothers.

Suddenly...

She saw a figure rushing towards her.

After seeing clearly that the person was Su Han, a hint of surprise first flashed in her deep, lake-like eyes, like a small stone dropped into a calm lake.

Immediately after, the surprise quickly turned into delight.

She had completely not expected that Su Han would also come.

After all, the message from Qingyun Sect had never mentioned that Su Han would come along, only stating that Zeng Shuchang, Shang Zhengliang, and Tianyun Daoren would be the three.

Therefore, for a moment, Junior Sister Shui Yue looked at Su Han, whom she hadn't seen in two years, and was somewhat entranced.

She could only stare blankly at Su Han, forgetting to speak.

And Su Han had already rushed in front of Junior Sister Shui Yue.

He unhesitatingly opened his arms and tightly embraced Junior Sister Shui Yue, as if wanting to merge her into his own body.

"Master..."

Junior Sister Shui Yue was slightly startled, her body stiffening for a moment, then she also extended her hands and gently hugged Su Han.

In this instant, it was as if time had stopped, the sound of the wind around them, the breathing of the crowd all disappeared, leaving only the two of them in the entire world.

They held each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.

However, Junior Sister Shui Yue quickly reacted, realizing there were still so many people watching.

Her cheeks flushed slightly...

She then gently pushed Su Han and whispered via spiritual transmission, "There are outsiders watching~"

"Then tonight."

After transmitting his message, Su Han smiled and released his hold.

But his gaze remained tightly fixed on Junior Sister Shui Yue, as if she would disappear the moment he looked away.

"Why did you come?"

Junior Sister Shui Yue asked softly at this moment, her voice carrying a hint of almost imperceptible tenderness.

The corner of Su Han's mouth curved slightly upwards, "I missed Master, so I came to see you."
