“Senior Brother Yushu, are you still angry?”
He Zijin quietly walked to the end of the procession and stuck to Lu Yushu. The latter’s expression was gloomy, unsightly as if he had eaten shit. He Zijin snickered.
“Hmph, Junior Brother Zijin, can it be you still have not noticed? That Chen Mo person has only just undergone Void Return Realm’s Thunder Tribulation, so he drew out the Sand Armor Hui Python, nearly trapping us. Otherwise, how could such a powerful Demon Beast show itself so easily.” Lu Yushu watched Chen Mo and Yue Huanqin chat and laugh at the front. In his heart, he was extremely unhappy.
He Zijin put on an expression of “epiphany.” “What Senior Brother says is logical, but he still saved Junior Sister Huanqin, so Senior Brother Yushu must not make things difficult for him.”
“I know.” If it was not out of consideration for Yue Huanqin’s face, Lu Yushu would have already wanted to make that newly ascended Void Return Realm Man taste his Immortal Soul Four Turns cultivation.
“That Milu woman is actually quite dimwitted. It is somewhat interesting that a Void Return Realm cultivator would bring her to the desert.” He Zijin’s eyes shifted about, vaguely casting glances on Milu’s body.
Lu Yushu also acknowledged that she was a very delicate and simple woman. She had no cultivation whatsoever; she was merely an exquisite pretty face.
“Since he protected our Junior Sister, shouldn’t Senior Brother properly protect her, too.” Lu Yushu did not notice the sinister expression that flit past this Junior Brother’s eyes.
The man was nudged seemingly to make a sudden realization in his mind.
“Right, hmph. He dares to touch Junior Sister Huanqin. Heh, heh, I cannot be modest.” Lu Yushu also planned to give the man a taste of his own medicine.
“Our Heavenly Outer Immortal Sound Sect cannot bully an ordinary woman.” He Zijin hypocritically shirked away.
Lu Yushu was completely immersed in his retaliation, not thinking about that bit of careful consideration: “Of course, I only want to protect her. It can’t be helped that there will be some contact while protecting her.” Saying this, he walked towards Milu.
He Zijin smirked and quietly watched the show.
The woman’s figure was taller than him, and her waistline was even more slender and delicate than his Junior Sister’s.
A light flashed in Lu Yushu’s eyes. He flicked his finger, striking the sand near to Milu, sending grit flying towards her and raising a dust cloud. Lu Yushu hastily and insincerely stepped forward to hold Milu: “Look out, look out.”
“Ah!!”
Chen Mo, Yue Huanqin and the others heard the commotion and looked back to see Lu Yushu clutching his finger and screaming in pain.
“A little accident.” Lu Yushu’s expression was unsightly to the extreme.
“What happened?” Yue Huanqin asked.
“Nothing, it seemed like Lady Milu was in trouble, and Senior Brother Yushu kindly went to help her. He was not careful and was bitten by that white fox.” He Zijin explained.
“Kindly?” Yue Huanqin regarded them with disdain. How could she not realize what Lu Yushu wanted to do: “Serves you right.”
Ji Biling shook her head. She walked to Milu’s side and asked with concern: “Lady Milu, are you alright?”
The little white fox smartly jumped into Milu’s palm. Milu completely disregarded the surrounding activity. These days, Daji and Milu got along very closely, becoming almost like mother and daughter.
Ji Biling could not help but smile.
“BLEEEP.” Having suffered greatly, Lu Yushu treated Chen Mo with even more contempt.
He Zijin stared at the expressionless Milu, pensive: “En, as expected, there is no way the Furious Flame Desert could have ordinary people.”
…
At night in the Furious Flame Desert, everyone hastened through the sky on riding swords. Night and day were two different temperature extremes in the desert. During the day, the climate was scorching hot, so flight would use up more energy than normal. At night, the desert’s cold sand grains would be freezing to the bone; walking over the desert would be very arduous.
Seeing Chen Mo surprisingly utilize a flying Astral Tool, Lu Yushu was even more indignant.
Flight Astral Tools consumed Star Energy. Cultivators who were incapable of Star Energy would mostly use Astral Cents and Astral Dollars to operate them, and each second of flight would honestly be spending money like it was a river. Furthermore, weak flight treasures were not as fast as Flying Swords.
Sword chants were a cultivator’s life itself. Riding sword flight was considered a fundamental skill.
For better or for worse, Chen Mo had Greater Thunder Tribulation strength, yet he was unable to ride on a sword. To think that such a person was actually able to hold his junior sister, Lu Yushu’s heart was even more unreconciled.
After flying for several hours, they spotted the ruins of an abandoned castle. Flying for a long time in the desert was not a very wise thing, and Ji Biling indicated to everyone to enter the ruins and rest.
After lighting a bonfire, Chen Mo went back to the desert and caught some game to cook skewers for Milu. This detail was a bit perplexing to He Zijin. Cultivators would consume fasting pills or inhale vapor. They would not touch cooked meats and the like unless it was something very beneficial like the flesh of a Holy Beast or Spirit Beast. A piece of something like that could make any cultivator go wild.
However, desert scorpions…Besides being disgusting, they honestly had no worth whatsoever.
“Let me stand guard tonight.” Yue Huanqin said.
“Junior Sister, your vitality is severely debilitated today. You need to rest. Let me do it this time.” Ji Biling said.
“Senior Sister, you are also injured. Today is my turn. I am fine, it is only a minor injury.” Yue Huanqin shook her head.
“Allow me.” The most silent Jing Tianchi spoke up.
“Senior Brother Tianchi is also injured.” Yue Huanqin declined.
They argued back and forth, “Enough, I will stand night watch.” Chen Mo could not stand to watch any longer.
“You will stand watch, what if you conspire against us?” Lu Yushu was very wary.
“What, a grand Human Immortal like yourself is afraid of a little Void Return Realm cultivator like me?” Chen Mo teased.
“In short, I have no faith in you.” Lu Yushu snorted.
“Suit yourself.” Chen Mo shrugged.
“I feel Young Lord Chen Mo is a good person. Everyone was injured today and needs good rest. We must not let emotions affect our decisions.” Ji Biling slightly smiled.
Lu Yushu found a corner to sit in, and he activated a defensive magic treasure.
The rest did not say anything after she asserted this. They each found a place to cultivate or meditate.
“Then we will have to trouble Young Lord Chen Mo for tonight.” Ji Biling said.
“No need for the courtesies. I’m also worried someone with ill intentions will make a move against Milu. This is to avoid him throwing away his life.” Chen Mo watched Milu, who was eating a skewer.
Milu was completely oblivious, quietly munching on scorpion meat.
Ji Biling sternly said: “Our Heaven Beyond Heaven is an orthodox sect. Young Lord need not worry.” This Senior Sister nevertheless did not realize who that phrase “throwing away his life” referred to.
“That is for the best.”
Chen Mo declined to comment.
“A mere Void Return Realm dares to boast shamelessly. Truly ridiculous.” Lu Yushu disdainfully muttered.
…
The bonfire burned bright. Chen Mo sat atop one of the ruin’s pillars, absorbing starlight. He sat quietly in contemplation. Under his Deva Eyes, everything in a range of ten li entered his gaze. Not even a scorpion hiding in the sand could escape his vision.
“Huanqin, you would not really have feelings for this Young Lord Chen Mo, would you? If Master finds out, this would be bad.”
“Senior Sister, what are you talking about. Am I this kind of person? Besides, Master has already betrothed me to Senior Brother Wuya. I still understand propriety.”
“Then why are you slightly off today.”
“Senior Sister, can it be you did not notice that this Young Lord has great talent with the ‘Five Sounds?'”
“Hm?”
Yue Huanqin and Ji Biling whispered to one another. They spoke in very hushed voiced, but these words nevertheless flowed into Chen Mo’s ears without a single mistake.
As expected. This girl was curious about his “Profound Sound.”
Not long after, Yue Huanqin lightly jumped on top of the pillar and sat beside Chen Mo.
The girl hesitated somewhat, then softly said: “Huanqin apologizes to Young Lord on behalf of my compatriots for today’s incident.”
“If not for Young Lord’s rescue, perhaps Huan Qin would be buried in the desert.”
“Is this a pledge of devotion?” Chen Mo suddenly asked back.
Yue Huanqin was left at a loss of what to say.
Chen Mo smiled: “Since this is the case, what is there to mind about that. Saving a person’s life is more meritorious than building a seven floor pagoda.”
“Huanqin never thought that Young Lord would even obtain the truth of Buddhism.” Yue Huanqin warmed up.
“What does this have to do with Buddhism. Any good person would have done the same.” Chen Mo disagreed.
Yue Huanqin smiled. She felt that the young man before her eyes was very interesting. He always surprised her.
“Young Lord seems to be somewhat skill in music. Huanqin wonders how you were able to discern the flaws in the Heavenly Se Evening Qin Sword Array?” Yue Huanqin was honestly unable to think this through.
“I indeed am a bit proficient in music.” Chen Mo had no need to hide this. “But that is only surface level. This is the first time I’ve seen a sword array like Lady Huanqin’s.”
“This was the first time that Young Lord has seen this?” Yue Huanqin was very surprised. Their “Heaven Beyond Heaven” were experts in fine music, and the “Qin Music Sword String” was very famous.
“Yes.”
“Young Lord Chen Mo should not have a master, then?”
“I am only a Scattered Cultivator. Don’t tell me that Lady Huanqin wants to make me join your Heaven Beyond Heaven?” Chen Mo chuckled.
Yue Huanqin admitted that she had this idea: “Although Young Lord Chen Mo’s cultivation talent is a bit lacking, you are extremely insightful with music. Master will definitely be lenient enough to accept you as a disciple.”
“Is my talent very lacking?” Chen Mo coughed. His pride was a bit hurt by Yue Huanqin’s words.
The Great Chong Dynasty’s White Clothed Tanhua, the man who shocked everyone by defeating Huan Wen, was surprisingly labeled as very lacking in talent. Chen Mo felt that there would be few people like himself in all of Star World.
However, how could Chen Mo have realized that Yue Huanqin’s words about lacking in talent concerned only his cultivation. Cultivators of the Inner Star Fields were immediately Third Layer Greater Thunder Tribulation from birth. With just a bit of talent, they were able to pass Dragon Among Men and enter Human Immortal Divine Soul Nine Turns. It could be said that they had a hundred years’ head start in cultivation over cultivators of the Outer Star Fields.
In the Inner Star Fields, Human Immortal Divine Soul Nine Turns was practically the most basic condition for joining a sect. Chen Mo was only Void Return Realm, Thunder Tribulation level. In the Inner Star Fields, this was indeed considered to be very low level talent. Let along the Ten Great Sects, some second-rate sects would refuse him at the door.
After hearing this, Chen Mo could not help but lament that the Inner and Outer Star Fields truly were two different worlds. The top-notch Human Sovereign level of the Outer Star Fields were easily reached in the Inner Star Fields. Truly, a Human Sovereign was no different from a dog where Human Immortals walked all over the place.
“I will put a good word in for you. Master will definitely agree to accepting you as a disciple, and you can join the Heaven Beyond Heaven.” Yue Huanqin finally stated her idea. With Chen Mo’s knowledge of music, perhaps he could possess astonishing achievements with the “Qin Music Sword String.”
“Many thanks for Lady Huanqin’s kindness.” Chen Mo thought: “However, my goal is not at all in joining some sect. For the next few days, if there is anything I can help Lady Huanqin with music, then please feel free to speak, Lady Huanqin.”
“Cough. Alright.” Yue Huanqin bitterly smiled. Countless geniuses were already left battered and bruised just trying to enter the ranks of the Ten Great Sects. She never imagined that Chen Mo would surprisingly be unmoved. The atmosphere was absolutely cold.
Heaven Beyond Heaven, Qin Music Sword String…
It sounded very gorgeous, but to him, this was of no help at all. In any case, he could not possibly use the “Without Ultimate Primordial Dual Modes Four Symbols Sword” to pluck the strings of a zither. This was simply a waste.
However, Yue Huanqin’s words still made Chen Mo begin to ponder what path he should walk in the future.
After forging his Flying Swords, cultivating alone clearly was very challenging. He would need a sect or a master’s guidance. Only this way could he become stronger even faster. It was a pity he was unable to find Auntie. Otherwise, would that not be perfect, to have Auntie act as a teacher.
Chen Mo pondered and pondered, and then he recalled Auntie’s cold and outstanding posture as she tread over the frost and snow.
He wondered how Auntie was doing right now.
Under the moonlight, thoughts filled Chen Mo’s mind.
