Chapter 929: Meet Again
"It's true... we meet everywhere in life, but one evening, Fairy Xiao, we met again. Xiao Chen said lightly while slowly walking into the valley.
Xiao Meng'er raised her head and looked at him at this moment. There was still hatred in her eyes, but then a sneer appeared on her face. "It seems that your Excellency is also being hunted down here..."
"yes……"
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back, looked at her and said calmly, "Anyway, nothing good has happened since I met you."
"snort……"
Xiao Meng'er sneered and said, "I was just about to say that nothing good has happened since I met you."
At this moment, both of them were silent, and the valley suddenly became silent, with only the wind blowing gently and the leaves making a rustling sound.
At this time, Zi Yuan walked forward and whispered, "Then... now that you have met again, does it mean that something bad will happen next..."
"kindness?"
After hearing what she said, Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng'er both looked at her. Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment, stepped back, and hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, no, I, I just said it casually..."
"Maybe!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's voice became much louder, especially in this quiet night. The voice echoed back and forth in the valley for a long time, so startled that the jackdaws on the trees fluttered up and flew out of the valley.
Xiao Meng'er was immediately startled, looked around, and lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing! Do you want to die?"
"Huh? I can't hear you clearly. What did you say?"
Xiao Chen's voice still sounded like a bell, echoing back and forth in the valley. Xiao Meng'er's injuries had not yet fully recovered, and her skills had only recovered half. At this time, her face was full of horror, and she lowered her voice and said, "You If you keep shouting like this, the people who are chasing you will also be attracted. Do you think you can escape unscathed? "
"oh……"
Xiao Chen finally lowered his voice slowly and came back. Xiao Meng'er looked around and thought, "No, the random yelling he just made will definitely attract those people soon, so he must do it immediately." Get out of here.
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, and regardless of the fact that her injuries had not yet healed, she immediately held up the lotus platform and flew to the other side of the valley.
"Your Majesty, then we..."
Zi Yuan looked at the direction Xiao Meng'er left and murmured, "Shall we leave too?"
Xiao Chen said, "Didn't you hear her say just now that she would attract the people who are chasing us? If we don't leave yet, are we waiting for that person to come after us?"
"ah?"
Zi Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. Your Majesty knew that he would attract the person behind you, but you just shouted like that. Sometimes she really didn't understand what your Majesty was thinking...
By the time she came to her senses, Xiao Chen had already launched his Lingxian Steps and chased in the direction Xiao Meng'er left. Zi Yuan immediately came to her senses and followed her.
About an hour later, it was already late in the morning and late at night. Everything was quiet. Only two or three figures were seen walking through the mountains. They were Xiao Meng'er, Xiao Chen, and Zi Yuan.
Xiao Meng'er's speed on the lotus platform never slowed down. Seeing the two people behind her chasing after her, she couldn't help but frown, slowed down, and lowered her voice, "Why are you still following me?"
"oh?"
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and walked against the wind. The night wind gently blew his long hair behind his shoulders. He said lightly, "Xianxian Xiao is trying to avoid being chased by her enemies, so she takes this road, and so do I... Why can't I take it?" "
Hearing this, Xiao Meng'er frowned slightly, ignored him, and headed straight to a hidden valley in front of the lotus platform.
When they arrived at the valley, Xiao Meng'er put away the lotus platform, looked at him and said, "I'm sorry about what happened down there before..."
"oh?"
Xiao Chen also slowly fell to the ground. Looking at her unwillingness at this time, he said lightly, "What? The first person in the Xiao family and a disciple of Donghua Immortal Lord, can he actually say sorry to others?" …”
"That's all..."
Xiao Chen's eyes were always very indifferent. He did not hold any grudge against Xiao Meng'er for what happened in Little Netherworld. In other words, even if it were another person, in that life-and-death situation at that time, he would probably Do that.
However, from Xiao Meng'er's perspective, this was no longer the case. She felt that it must be because of what happened down there before that Xiao Chen had a grudge against her.
At this moment, the moonlight shines on her face, with three parts of tranquility, three parts of coldness, three parts of fairy spirit, and one part, probably a slight sense of apology.
It was such a complicated expression that made her no longer look like the cold, aloof fairy she usually was.
After a while, the two of them asked at the same time, "Who is chasing you?"
At this time, the moonlight was thick, reflecting the figures of the two people in the valley. At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. In the end, Xiao Menger put the whisk on her shoulder and said coldly, "It's probably Beigong." Or someone sent by the Mo family."
"oh……"
Xiao Chen's eyes were indifferent, thinking, could it be an internal fight among the six major clans?
It’s no wonder that now that Xiao Meng’er has such a proud daughter in the Xiao family, there will naturally be some people with ulterior motives who want to get rid of her...
Then... where was my father?
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. His father's incident back then was complicated and confusing. It probably involved a lot more than just the internal fighting among the six major clans...
Seeing his expression at this time, Xiao Meng'er felt doubtful in her heart and asked, "What about you? Who is chasing you..."
Xiao Chen slowly came back to his senses and said calmly, "I have made many enemies in my life. It is not surprising that one or two people who have reached the highest level of cultivation come to hunt me down..."
Xiao Meng'er looked at his calm eyes at this time and couldn't help but frown again. He looked about the same age as her. Could it be that he had experienced countless life and death tribulations?
If he hadn't experienced countless life and death tribulations, how could his eyes at this time be so calm and indifferent...
This kind of eyes is like a small boat in the wind and waves. No matter how high the wind and waves are, it is always calm on the water surface. It is definitely not something that can be pretended deliberately. Who is he...
At this moment, Xiao Meng'er was even more confused about his identity. Over the years, she had never seen such a person among her peers. Who is this person...
As the night deepened, both of them slowly came back to their senses. In the current situation, they must recover their skills as soon as possible. There are still six days before the end of the tide. Before that, they must go out, but now outside, there are people chasing them.
At this moment, Xiao Meng'er made a prompt decision, put the whisk on her shoulder, and looked at Xiao Chen with a fixed gaze, "Now there are people outside chasing you and me. Judging from the current situation, only if we cooperate can we deal with those people."
"Cooperation again..."
Xiao Chen glanced at her, and this time he would never believe her again no matter what.
Xiao Meng'er frowned and said, "I know it's hard for you to believe me now, but the tide will end soon. If we don't get out, you and I will die in here."
"Okay..."
Xiao Chen looked nonchalant and said lightly, "I will help you fight the enemy first, and when your power recovers, you will help me fight the enemy. It is a way to have the best of both worlds..."
Xiao Meng'er saw that he was so nonchalant at this time, but she didn't believe him a little. She frowned and said, "This is a matter of life and death, and I hope you don't take it lightly."
"I'm serious..."
Xiao Chen He glanced at her and said calmly, "The dual cultivation of Taoism and martial arts is extremely demanding for practitioners. Before, you broke through the restrictions of gods and demons with all your immortal energy, and suffered backlash. However, you used the internal force of the Xiao family's profound skills to suppress the backlash. It was feasible, but you didn't expect to meet a group of assassins with high cultivation at this time. With your true energy and internal force consumed at the same time, you are no longer just suffering from backlash..."
"You..."
Hearing him say this, Xiao Meng'er's expression changed slightly, no matter how high her Tao heart was or how calm she was.
Xiao Chen continued, "If my guess is correct, you will only have two choices. Either you give up your ancient martial arts, seal your meridians, and dissipate your internal energy, so that you can maintain your Xuanmen cultivation... or you don't give up your internal energy and go astray. You will no longer be able to cultivate immortality and fall into the devil's way."
"Who are you!"
This time, after hearing him accurately describe her current situation word for word, Xiao Meng'er finally changed her expression completely, and could no longer maintain her heart as calm as autumn water in the past.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "You will know who I am in the future. However, with Fairy Xiao's ability, it is not necessarily that there are only these two extreme paths to take. I think Fairy Xiao is planning to take a risk and merge her inner strength with her mysterious strength. If successful, not only will the backlash be completely eliminated, but her cultivation... can also be improved to a higher level."
"You..."
Xiao Meng'er was even more choked. Who is he? Why did he know her cultivation so well? In just a short moment, he actually predicted everything...
Xiao Chen said calmly, "There will be at most three hours before the sun comes. By then, people outside will definitely find this place. You only have less than three hours..."
Xiao Meng'er was sweating profusely on her back. At this time, she could no longer think about it. If she continued like this, she would end up like Xiao Chen said. She would either seal her meridians and abandon her ancient martial arts, or she would go crazy and fall into the devil's way.
"I hope you can... defend Meng'er for a while."
Xiao Meng'er bit her lips lightly. Her pale face could be clearly seen in the moonlight. It was difficult for her to call herself "Meng'er" in front of Xiao Chen, but now there was no other way. She could only take a gamble and hope that this person would not really hurt her...
Soon, her figure disappeared in an ancient cave in the valley, and Xiao Chen's eyes were always indifferent. He flicked his sleeves, sat cross-legged at the entrance of the valley, took out the Fuxi Qin, and played it leisurely.
The night was quiet, and the long and leisurely sound of the Qin continued. Zi Yuan saw that he was still at leisure playing the Qin under the moon at this time, and really didn't know his intention, so she whispered, "Your Majesty, what should we do now...?"
"Wait for someone to come."
Xiao Chen's ten fingers on both hands lightly plucked and slowly, and the sound of the Qin slowly drifted out of the valley.
