Chapter 680

The night color was in the firmament, flowing because of the wind.

It brushed over the earth, landed on the buildings of the Capital, and as it wandered, it emitted a whistling sound, stirred up dust, swept over the corners of Seventh Master's clothes, and spread until it reached the pavilion of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion.

It lifted Xu Qing's hair.

Xu Qing gazed into the night sky, his heart completely calm.

This kind of calm could not be given by the Moon Sacrifice Great Domain. For Xu Qing, the things he experienced in Fenghai County had long made him treat this place as half a hometown.

That feeling of returning home made Xu Qing's mind peaceful, but there were always some voices that wanted to merge into his tranquility.

"Little Ah Qing, what do you think was written in the jade slip the Heir gave to the old man?"

The Captain stood by Xu Qing's side, his face full of speculation.

"I just noticed that after the old man saw the jade slip, the smile on his face bloomed like an old chrysanthemum..."

Xu Qing, hearing this, couldn't help but cough and instinctively scanned his surroundings.

The Captain was proud and waved his hand.

"No need to investigate, the old man is not here."

"I guessed the content of the jade slip; it must be the Heir expressing admiration to the old man. According to my understanding of the old man, he must be feeling extremely comfortable in his heart about this."

"Vulgar, too vulgar!"

The Captain shook his head, looking unable to agree.

Xu Qing was silent; he felt it was better for him not to express his opinion on this matter. What if... Master was still here, or could hear...

And the Captain clearly didn't think so. He lowered his voice and was just about to continue expressing his point of view, but just at this moment, a fragrance familiar to Xu Qing blew from outside the pavilion along with the wind.

Accompanied by the fragrance, a slender, delicate shadow appeared outside the pavilion, walking with lotus steps, coming gracefully.

A white long dress, pure and flawless, black hair dancing with the wind, phoenix eyebrows like the moon, full of beauty.

A pair of beautiful eyes filled with affection, a straight and delicate nose, fragrant cheeks slightly flushed, the egg-shaped face revealing absolute beauty.

At this moment, as she approached, the moonlight shone on her, and that skin that could be broken by a blow was like frost and snow, making one unable to help but be obsessed with it, unable to extricate oneself.

The only people who could enter and leave the Prefecture Governor's Mansion without reporting were Seventh Master, Yao Hou, and Immortal Zixuan.

Immortal Zixuan's arrival made this pavilion seem to brighten up, as if all the moonlight was unknowingly attracted by her at this moment, permeating around her.

Xu Qing's heartbeat instinctively accelerated.

The Captain blinked, the figures of Linger and the Mud Fox appearing in his mind, and he began to compare.

"Linger is simple, the Fox is flirtatious, Immortal Zixuan is charming... who else is there? Right, there's also the perverted Yan Yan and Ding Xue who is determined to have little Ah Qing, and that Qing Qiu."

Thinking of this, the Captain realized with great emotion that these women were like plum, orchid, autumn chrysanthemum, and bamboo, each with their own merits.

Thus, a sour feeling couldn't help but rise in his heart.

"But speaking of which, this little Ah Qing is also quite pitiful, being watched by so many tigresses; he must be anxious in his mind, exhausted from dealing with them. A slight carelessness, and it's a Shura field!"

"Unlike me, so free and easy, unrestrained, able to enjoy the free wind, able to soar freely between heaven and earth. In this Wanggu Continent, from the commoners below to the gods above, there is no one who can restrain this proud wild bull of mine!"

"I belong to freedom forever!"

The Captain was proud in his heart, having a feeling of clarity, and his current thoughts were like a sage.

Thus, he coughed. Feeling more and more that his height of thought far exceeded that of ordinary people, he was also extremely certain that his thoughts possessed supreme logic. Then, his heart was peaceful, without ripples, and he looked down on Xu Qing from a height of heart.

That gaze carried sympathy and also contained the life wisdom he believed in, and he was just about to open his mouth to tell Xu Qing about this realization.

But at this moment, Immortal Zixuan's voice came.

"Erniu, Li Shitao is calling you over."

As soon as Immortal Zixuan's words came out, the Captain's eyes instantly widened, and at this moment, his whole person, like a chrysanthemum blooming, couldn't control the release of his own ripples.

His eyes were even brighter than ever, and his breathing was slightly rapid.

"In the middle of the night, my big Taotao is calling me over?"

The Captain licked his lips, excited.

At this moment, what sage, what realization, what freedom were all unimportant.

He instantly rushed out in a hurry, leaving Xu Qing behind.

To him, no matter how fun other people's matters were, they were not as good as his own big Taotao.

At this moment, while leaving quickly, he also took out a peach and gnawed on it, shouting in his heart: "Taotao, wait for me."

Under this ripple in his heart, the Captain's figure flew far away.

Looking at the Captain's back, Xu Qing didn't know what to say, and he was in no mood to pay too much attention. His currently accelerating heartbeat, as Immortal Zixuan approached step by step, became more and more intense.

Although Xu Qing had grown up... but facing Immortal Zixuan, she was still the same as back then; he was very nervous and instinctively retreated.

Until he retreated to the edge, with nowhere left to retreat, Xu Qing could only bite the bullet and cup his fists toward Immortal Zixuan.

"Greetings, Upper Immortal."

Immortal Zixuan smiled, saying nothing, until she walked in front of Xu Qing, very close... Standing there, a fresh fragrance quietly spread throughout the pavilion, permeating Xu Qing's heart, which even the wind could not blow away.

Only the eyes gazing at him in front of him became eternal.

Under this gaze, Xu Qing's mind was somewhat blank, his hands and feet at a loss.

This kind of thing never happened with Linger, but for some reason, facing Immortal Zixuan, it was always like this every time.

"Turn around." Immortal Zixuan spoke softly.

Xu Qing turned around silently, with his back to Immortal Zixuan.

Immortal Zixuan's smile was very gentle. Her jade hand lifted slightly, took Xu Qing's long hair, took a hairband with a wave of her hand, tied it up, turned it into a ponytail hairstyle, and tidied it up for him.

Xu Qing was somewhat uncomfortable, but if there were others here at this moment, seeing Xu Qing who had changed his hairstyle, they would definitely be amazed. For Xu Qing, such a hairstyle highlighted his handsomeness even more and added a touch of uninhibited feeling.

"This looks better." Immortal Zixuan's voice was even gentler.

She stepped to Xu Qing's side and looked at the distant night sky with him.

The moonlight fell, pulling their shadows very long on the ground.

The night was very beautiful.

The pavilion was peaceful.

Only Immortal Zixuan's gentle voice asked Xu Qing about his past in the Moon Sacrifice Great Domain.

In this soft voice, Xu Qing's heart also slowly calmed down, and he recounted the past.

Immortal Zixuan listened very earnestly, occasionally turning her head to look at Xu Qing with her beautiful eyes, as if there was no one else in her eyes.

Time passed, and the two seemed to have returned to the time when they traveled alone; it was also like this back then.

This feeling gradually made Xu Qing feel comfortable in his heart.

Until the night grew deeper, after Xu Qing recounted the matters of the Moon Sacrifice Great Domain, Immortal Zixuan also softly spoke of her experiences in Fenghai County over the past few years.

"In these few years, my main energy has been placed on the Qingxuan Sect, while Fenghai County is governed by your Master and Yao Hou. Everything is recovering. If it weren't for the arrival of King Tianlan, you would see a scene of prosperity upon your return this time."

"At least our Qingxuan Sect already possesses a prototype, and currently, it has quite a reputation within Fenghai County."

"Also, the Immortal Forbidden Land was also developed again by your Master and Yao Hou, leading the crowd. Because there is no Immortal Forbidden God, the strange substances inside have dissipated a lot, and some classics and artifacts have been taken out, increasing the foundation power for Fenghai County."

"And I... have also been to the Immortal Forbidden Land a few times."

Speaking of this, Immortal Zixuan gazed at Xu Qing, the night wind blowing a few strands of her black hair, which brushed across Xu Qing's face.

Xu Qing's heart also uncontrollably rippled.

"There, there is a ruin, very special..."

"I can faintly feel that it is summoning me."

Immortal Zixuan's eyes revealed a touch of confusion.

This question, she had buried in her heart for a long time and had not told anyone. Only today, facing Xu Qing, did she speak it out.

"Xu Qing, do you still remember the dream I often told you about?" Immortal Zixuan's voice was very low.

"The feeling that ruin gives me is somewhat similar to my dream. I seem to have been to that ruin a long, long time ago."

"I'm not sure..."

"But unfortunately, it's just a ruin there."

Looking at Immortal Zixuan's confused appearance, Xu Qing remembered Immortal Zixuan's dream, so he carefully recalled the Immortal Forbidden Land. But back then, the places he went to there were limited, so he didn't know where the place Immortal Zixuan mentioned was.

The Immortal Forbidden Land had many ruins.

But he remembered the strange Phoenix Bird Palace where he discovered the Time Bottle. Although in his memory, it had nothing to do with Immortal Zixuan, he recalled that at the moment he put the Time Bottle into the Twelfth Heavenly Palace, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear a sigh.

Thus, his heart stirred, and just as he was about to ask, Immortal Zixuan's voice came again.

"However, in that ruin, I found traces of you."

Xu Qing, hearing this, narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"In the Immortal Forbidden Land, I didn't go to many places, but there is one place that becomes clear as you approach it, until it becomes nine Phoenix Bird Palaces. If you move away, it turns into a ruin."

"There, I lost three days of memory and obtained a Time Bottle. After that, that palace seemed to have truly become a ruin."

"If you found my traces, then it is very likely that the ruin you mentioned and the place I mentioned are the same."

While speaking, Xu Qing raised his hand and waved. Behind him, his Divine Treasure manifested, and as it fluctuated in all directions, the Time Bottle merged within it slowly flew out and floated in front of Immortal Zixuan.

A sense of time permeated it, making one unable to help but be attracted to it upon looking. Its own light shone, blending with the moonlight, emitting brilliance.

It shone on Immortal Zixuan's pretty face, making her eyes clear and bright, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she gazed.

The ripples in her heart permeated from her fair and flawless skin, turning into a faint red, her thin lips like rose petals, delicate and dripping.

After a long while, Immortal Zixuan exhaled softly, withdrew her gaze from the Time Bottle, and looked into Xu Qing's eyes.

"Shall we... go take a look?"
