Chapter 604: A Match Made in Heaven
“Then, who is…” Qing Fengyan’s voice continued coming from within the carriage, but it sounded a little odd, making the handmaidens who heard from outside the carriage feel like something wasn’t quite right. However, they still earnestly replied.
“Looking at his dressing and carriage, he should be the Divine Messenger of Deity Temple. Rumors have it that the Divine Messenger is a silver-haired, purple-eyed man,” The handmaiden surmised.
“So, it was him!” Qing Fengyen exclaimed. It was Huangfu Qingjue! It turns out that the refined, otherworldly man who had saved her was the person who had suddenly become the Divine Messenger of Deity Temple some time ago. She had heard of this person before but had never seen him. Seeing him today… Qing Fengyan clutched at her chest and looked in the direction in which Huangfu Qingjue’s carriage disappeared through the thin veiled curtains of her carriage window and mumbled under her breath, “Huangfu Qingjue, your grace of saving me today, I will remember it.”
The four handmaidens outside the carriage who heard her say this were all stupefied. ‘What was Miss saying? Saving grace? Was the Miss’ mind that muddled? The Fleshed Crown Bird wasn’t attacking in their direction nor was it rushing at Huangfu Qingjue. Why exactly did Miss think that Huangfu Qingjue had made such a move to save her?’
If Huangfu Qingjue had known that personally making a move to kill a monster beast would have created such a big misunderstanding, it could be reckoned that he would rather have been pressed to the ground by the claws of the Flesh Crowned Bird than to have Qing Fengyan, this crazy person, misunderstand that he was saving her.
In the following days, Qing Fengyan immersed herself in her own imagination and was constantly extending the non-encounter in her mind, constantly deepening a non-existent relationship. She had already thoroughly become a loony, so she slowly hypnotized herself, and reality was twisted to become that Huangfu Qingjue was her lover, and in her mind, he and she were a match made in heaven.
Therefore, when she saw Huangfu Qingjue rushing over to save Ling Chuxi without caring about his own safety, she was totally unable to accept it and started shouting manically, losing her bearings, thinking that it was Ling Chuxi who had snatched away her beloved.
The matter that day had been deeply carved into Feng Qingyan’s heart and bones, but as for Huangfu Qingjue, he totally had no lasting impression of it. It was just that for things to have developed to such an extent was one that no one would have thought about. Qing Fengyan’s four handmaidens looked at their Miss acting manically, and they all felt chills. They understood that their Miss was crazy now, really and thoroughly crazy.
…
“Great Worshipper, just now that… who was that person?” asked an expert of Wu Feng Hall, almost not daring to believe his eyes.
“If I am not guessing it wrong, that should be the Lord Divine Messenger of Deity Temple.” Chu Fengyun had heard Ren Youran’s reports of their past encounter and seeing that head of silver hair, he managed to guess at Huangfu Qingjue’s identity.
“Lord Divine Messenger?” repeated the Wu Feng Hall expert, feeling his heart jolt. Even Wu Feng Hall was not willing to openly be enemies with Deity Temple.
“Don’t worry. Nobody is able to escape Little Silver Ancient Mountain,” Chu Fengyan said with a relieved sigh.
The only worry he had regarding his plan this time was that Huangfu Qingjue would seek revenge after finding out about the truth behind the matter. This was great, everything would be solved at one go.
“Great Worshipper, what should we do now? Should we go and kill Mo Kongyuan?” Qiu Gaohe asked. Just now he had lost the entirety of his reputation before Ling Chuxi, so now he was thinking of performing a little in front of Chu Fengyun.
“Are you able to catch up?” Chu Fengyuan asked coldly.
Qiu Gaohe was stunned and did not dare to continue the conversation. Seeing how fast Mo Kongyuan was just now, it could be reckoned that even Chu Fengyun was not necessarily able to catch up to him. As for them? By the time they did catch up, Mo Kongyuan would have long since awakened. A dying camel was still bigger than a horse. Even a severely wounded guardian, as long they still had a single strand of breath, was more than capable of killing the few of them.
“Mo Kongyuan is severely injured and had definitely suffered quite a bit in the barrier. There’s no need to be bothered with him. We will deal with the rest of the guardians first,” Chu Fengyun said while pondering the situation.
