Chapter 331: Encounter with an Old Friend
Translator: Tim Editor: Fish Creek
Luo Xuan looked at the haunted building she’d been living in for a week and felt a little wistful about leaving. Although it was a short week, she’d experienced a lot. It seemed that in the two years she’d lived in Chun An, it wasn’t as eventful as this week.
“What are you thinking? Let’s go,” Ye Mo interrupted her thoughts.
Luo Xuan came back to her senses and nodded. “Okay, let’s go.”
“Luo Xuan, do you know where Qi Yang Mountain is located?” Ye Mo didn’t know where Qi Yang Mountain was, but he believed many people would, and he only needed to ask. It was just like how he didn’t know where Shen Nong Jia was, but he could find out online.
Luo Xuan shook her head and looked at Ye Mo strangely. “I don’t know, Ye Brother. Don’t you even know where you’re going? I’ve been in Chun An for two years. Although I don’t really go out, I’ve heard of most of the famous mountains in China. I’ve never heard of Qi Yang Mountain. I thought it was a place I hadn’t been to.”
Ye Mo thought: Was he tricked by Hong Si? But Hong Si’s tone and attitude hadn’t seemed deceitful at the time. Because he was talking with his sister then, he hadn’t actually asked where Qi Yang Mountain was.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll ask someone later, and we’ll find out. Since it can have a hidden sect there, it must be a famous mountain. People will know.”
But then, Ye Mo and Luo Xuan asked many people and even searched online, but no one knew Qi Yang Mountain.
Luo Xuan asked in confusion, “Ye Brother, could that person have lied to you?”
Ye Mo said uncertainly, “I don’t think that person would trick me, but from what we’ve asked, there really doesn’t seem to be a Qi Yang Mountain. This is strange indeed.”
If he was really desperate, he could go to Beijing and ask Tan Jiao and Luan Qingfeng, but he didn’t want to do that. First, the two might not be willing to tell him, and Ye Mo didn’t want to see the arrogant Tan Jiao again. Even if he didn’t ask those two, Zhang Zhihui would probably know. He could ask Zhang Zhihui.
“Ye Brother, where are you planning to go now?” Luo Xuan looked at Ye Mo’s face and knew they wouldn’t be able to go to Qi Yang Mountain.
“I want to go to Ning Hai first and ask someone I know about where it is.” Ye Mo was unhappy that his plan was stopped. From his perspective, Hong Si had even shattered his own dan tian; how could he lie to him about this?
If it were just himself, Ye Mo would definitely fly to Ning Hai on his sword, but with Luo Xuan, that would cause too much attention during the day. And, with his current chi reserve, it would be very exhausting to bring Luo Xuan with him to Ning Hai.
Although she knew Ye Mo could fly, Luo Xuan didn’t ask why Ye Mo was taking a plane to Ning Hai. Since Ye Mo chose that, he must have his reasons.
Although Chun An airport was very small, there was a lot of human traffic. When Ye Mo and Luo Xuan walked into the airport, it wasn’t empty at all, despite it being morning.
“Ye Brother, what are you looking at?” Luo Xuan followed Ye Mo closely and noticed that Ye Mo was focusing on a middle-aged woman reading a newspaper as soon as they came in.
Ye Mo smiled. “Luo Xuan, did you see that woman next to the window reading the newspaper?”
Luo Xuan nodded. “I see her. What’s wrong, Ye Brother?”
“Do you feel that person is familiar?” Ye Mo continued to ask.
Luo Xuan shook her head in bewilderment. “I’ve never seen this person, and I don’t feel she’s familiar at all.” But even so, Luo Xuan still studied the woman carefully and was sure she didn’t seem familiar.
“I’m sure you know her. That person is either your older martial sister or your second martial sister; she’s in disguise,” Ye Mo said with certainty. It was because he felt a similar chi from this woman as he did from Luo Xuan. This meant that their cultivation methods were the same.
Luo Xuan also showed an expression of shock, but before she could speak, the middle-aged woman turned around. She seemed to have noticed Luo Xuan observing her.
The moment she saw Luo Xuan, she showed surprise and joy in her eyes, but it soon turned to worry. Although those expressions were very subtle, they fell clearly into Ye Mo’s eyes, and he was more certain that this woman was related to Luo Xuan.
But as soon as this woman saw Luo Xuan, she turned to leave.
Luo Xuan quickly followed without talking to Ye Mo. She was sure that this person was her older martial sister, Luo Yin.
Ye Mo didn’t follow. He looked around to make sure no one was stalking them before standing to the side waiting for Luo Xuan. He was sure the woman was Luo Xuan’s older martial sister, and Luo Xuan recognized her. If it were her second martial sister, Luo Xuan would have hesitated first and even asked him before going over.
The woman came to a quiet corner and looked around, waiting for Luo Xuan to come over. She pulled Luo Xuan over anxiously and asked, “Luo Xuan, how can you appear at the airport without any disguise? Do you not want to live?”
“Older martial sister, is that really you?” Luo Xuan exclaimed in joy and hugged the woman. Although she didn’t say it, she had always been worried about her older martial sister. Now that she saw her, of course, she was very elated.
Luo Yin also felt relieved. She had been constantly worried about Luo Xuan and now felt a lot more relieved seeing her. But immediately, she asked, “Luo Xuan, who is that man next to you? You must not be like Luo Fei. If Master knew that two out of the three of us who came out lost our virginity, she will be very sad.”
Luo Xuan’s face blushed, and she immediately said, “Older martial sister, what are you saying? Ye Brother isn’t like the sort of person you’re thinking about. He’s very nice. And, he saved me many times. Even that Lotus Life pill I gave you last time was from him.”
“Who is he? How does he have such precious pills? And why would he save you? A man being nice to a woman is definitely no good. Luo Xuan, you must not trust a man,” Luo Yin said vigilantly.
“Older martial sister, sigh, even that Ni Luo Sutra was found with the help of Ye Brother. How can you say that about him? Although I don’t know if men are good or bad, Ye Brother is definitely a good person,” Luo Xuan immediately rebutted.
Luo Yin looked at Luo Xuan in shock and said after a moment, “Luo Xuan, you have never rebutted my words before, but now, for this Ye Brother of yours, you have done so twice. Is this Ye Brother really that good?”
Luo Xuan rubbed the edges of her clothes awkwardly and said, “Older martial sister, I, I really don’t know how to explain it to you, but I believe him. He’s not a bad person, and, it was Ye Brother who recognized you just then.”
“What? It wasn’t you who recognized me? He has such capabilities? Has he seen me before?” Luo Yin immediately became more vigilant.
Then, as though she suddenly thought of something, Luo Yin said worriedly, “Luo Xuan, you said that Ye Brother helped you find the Ni Luo Sutra and he recognized me. Then could it be him that night outside the Ying Hua Temple? Luo Xuan, you’re too young. Don’t believe strangers’ words.”
As she spoke, Luo Yin’s face became more and more serious. The more she thought, the more she believed that perhaps Ye Mo had followed Luo Xuan to the Ying Hua Temple and then impersonated Luo Fei, stealing the Ni Luo Sutra and then finding Luo Xuan later.
“Older martial sister, don’t think like that. Ye Brother isn’t like that. Plus, even a thousand Ni Luo Sutras wouldn’t be worth anything in Ye Brother’s eyes, much less one. Older martial sister, please, I beg you, stop saying bad things about Ye Brother. He’s a really good person. He’s the best man I’ve ever met.” In desperation, Luo Xuan actually used the word “man,” but as soon as she said it, she noticed it and her face blushed.
Luo Xuan didn’t want there to be any misunderstanding between her older martial sister and Ye Mo. Her older martial sister was the person she respected most other than her master, while Ye Brother was the person she admired most. He saved her many times and was so nice to her. Plus, that Ni Luo pill wasn’t worth anything to Ye Brother. He could give her chi-increasing pills that were countless times more precious. Why would he care about a mere Ni Luo Sutra?
Plus, Ye Brother said the Ni Luo Sutra was useless to him, and the only valuable things were the two golden papers, and she gave them to him. How could he still be interested in the Ni Luo Sutra? However, she couldn’t tell her older martial sister that. This made Luo Xuan feel guilty for the first time because she’d hidden something from her older martial sister for Ye Mo.
“Sigh…” Luo Yin sighed but didn’t say anything. She could tell that her younger martial sister admired Ye Brother deeply; it was useless no matter what she said. It was just that, from the bottom of her heart, she wanted the person who tried to kill them to be someone else, even Ye Brother, rather than Luo Lin.
“How have you been with Ye Brother these past few days?” Luo Yin asked casually. She could tell that her martial sister was still a virgin. This meant that they hadn’t done anything inappropriate.
