Chapter 657: Chapter 646: Hu Ji Yin Yang Fish (2)
Today, she had already Holding the Way!
The most thrilling thing for Lin Xiaosu was that when his life hung by a thread, she suddenly appeared and struck down the Red clothed Monk from the high tiers of Enlightenment Rules, then looked at him with eyes that see through everything.
Hu Ji had no reason to know Li Chengnian.
She had even less reason to help Li Chengnian.
The only reason could be that this legendary Fairy had recognized his true identity!
Lin Xiaosu bowed deeply towards those piercing eyes, bright as autumn water: “Thank you, Fairy, for saving my life!”
Hu Ji smiled gently, and a sound drilled into his Spirit Platform in the Sea of Consciousness: “My entry into Holding the Way was due to the Yin Yang Fish you gave me. Young Master Su doesn’t think such a great favor merits my helping you once?”
Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath: “You finally recognized me!”
“Don’t forget, we are after all…”
The voice abruptly stopped, but a blush clearly spread across her face.
Lin Xiaosu cautiously added: “Connected for a long time through spiritual bonds?”
Hu Ji lightly bit her red lips.
Suddenly, with a bang, Lin Xiaosu inexplicably fell into the dust.
The mountain peak below rapidly approached, but just before contact, a white Cloud silently drifted by, and Lin Xiaosu landed as if on a solid felt pad. The fading Cloud left him standing under a tree in West Mountain, with the Cloud like a spiritual snake slipping under Hu Ji’s skirt ahead of him. Hu Ji gave him a look: “This is a small warning. Do not use those four words in the future.”
“Is Fairy afraid those four words will disturb the heart of the Way?”
With the mention of those four words — disturb the heart of the Way — the blush Hu Ji had just dispelled climbed back onto her cheeks, as if she wished to hit him.
Finally, she gently inhaled: “Why disguise yourself like this?”
The process of how she recognized Lin Xiaosu needed to be omitted.
Why?
Because it was indeed somewhat ambiguous.
After all, she had been spiritually connected with him for a long time, truly “connected for a long time through spiritual bonds.”
She was familiar with his Primordial Spirit Qi Mechanism like nothing else.
Her Tao Fruit contained his yang.
His Tao Seed contained her yin.
You have me, and I have you, so she could precisely determine that Lin Xiaosu’s true identity was that little nemesis who accompanied her in Qingqiu, disturbing her heart of the Way.
No matter how he transformed.
“It’s truly a helpless matter!” Lin Xiaosu said.
“Helpless?” Hu Ji didn’t understand.
“After coming down from Qingqiu that day, I ran into Li Chengnian. That kid has a truly small disposition, resenting me for disrupting his marriage proposal and wanting to kill me. To avoid death, I had to kill him and disguise myself as him to enter Heart Pavilion.”
“And then? Heart Pavilion people couldn’t discover you?”
“Do you think Heart Pavilion’s people all have divine skills like you?” Lin Xiaosu said: “Moreover, Li Chengnian really had no close relations. Disguising as him wasn’t difficult.”
“Your Disguise Technique, just looking at external image and charm, truly had no flaws. However, people do have circles, especially a place known for its cunning like Heart Pavilion. To disguise uninterrupted and completely flawless is almost impossible!” Hu Ji said: “Therefore, I still suggest you make some changes, and don’t stay in Heart Pavilion any longer.”
Lin Xiaosu stared at her in surprise…
Hu Ji’s eyebrows quietly furrowed: “Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?”
“No, didn’t you notice Heart Pavilion is already gone?”
Hu Ji suddenly raised her head, and the mountain Fog before her seemed to be pulled open by invisible hands, revealing Heart Pavilion within her sight.
At this moment, Heart Pavilion was empty.
“Heart Pavilion… gone! Why is it like this?” Hu Ji was somewhat shocked.
Originally, Heart Pavilion had nothing to do with her, but after all, she was a person of Qingqiu, and Li Chengnian in Heart Pavilion happened to be Qingqiu’s established son-in-law, linking Qingqiu and Heart Pavilion.
Thus, it entered her view.
Today, her Spirit Platform fluttered, sensing the little nemesis in trouble, she rushed over only to find Heart Pavilion was already gone.
“This matter is lengthy to discuss, shall we talk while we walk?”
Hu Ji nodded gently, and the two of them descended the hillside…
At this moment, Tunyun Temple was already in chaos, with three thousand Forbidden Army descending from the skies, surrounding the entire monastery.
Huo Gang’s five fingers were like the Pagoda-Bearing King holding the pagoda, firmly locking Xuan Kong’s Primordial Spirit, scanning the monks below with God and Demon eyes, issuing an order: “Everyone, arrest the lot!”
With this command, all of West Mountain was cleared.
Heart Pavilion and Tunyun Temple were successively emptied.
Lin Xiaosu and Hu Ji descended from West Mountain, walked, and talked all the way…
Hu Ji finally understood that the destruction of Heart Pavilion was because it was swept up in the court power struggle, serving as the Crown Prince’s claw.
Hu Ji let out a long sigh: “A great pavilion vanishes in the struggle for Imperial Authority, Jianghu is indeed perilous! You cannot stay long in Desert City. Perhaps I should send you back to Ancient Sect.”
Heart Pavilion was destroyed.
He narrowly escaped this disaster.
But Heart Pavilion was not merely the one pavilion in West Mountain; there were such pavilions in every state, their people infiltrating various places. In court and Jianghu alike, if they learned that Young Master Su killed a Heart Pavilion member, his risk would be immense.
Therefore, Hu Ji’s first plan was to send him back to his sect: Ancient Sect.
Lin Xiaosu gently shook his head: “Don’t worry about me, I’m doing fine in Desert City.”
“Fine? How are you fine?” Hu Ji gave him a sideways glance: “Don’t count on me, I am in the midst of a retreat, and don’t have time to stay by your side.”
Lin Xiaosu widened his eyes: “You’re in retreat, sensed me in danger, immediately interrupted and came to rescue me?”
