Chapter 838: A misunderstanding, red face and white face

Hearing this voice, Song Qingming, who had originally wanted to fight to the death with the other party, felt the giant pressure in front of him suddenly disappear invisibly, allowing him to relax slightly.

"Third Great-Uncle! Stop for a moment."

As the voice of the person approaching came from far to near, a middle-aged man with a short black beard on his face strode into the hall from outside.

The cultivation aura on the person who came had also reached the Nascent Soul realm, but his cultivation was obviously lower than that of the white-haired old man. He was a Nascent Soul 3rd-layer cultivator, and he was Li Mengliang, another Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Li family.

And the white-haired old man not far away was the current patriarch of the Li family of "Mount Yunlong," Li Boying.

After Li Mengliang in black robes entered the hall, he hurriedly flashed to Li Boying and handed the letter in his hand to him.

"Third Great-Uncle, don't be angry. I just received news that Xuanyi did not go to Yuxuan Island. This matter should have nothing to do with them. I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding!"

After Li Boying took the letter and scanned it, his expression gradually eased a bit, but he was still suspicious:

"Mengliang, is this news confirmed to be true?"

Hearing this, Li Mengliang nodded hurriedly: "I received the news personally, how could it be fake? Third Great-Uncle, don't worry too much.

Think about it, if Xuanyi's matter really had something to do with the Grand Void Gate, this young friend would definitely avoid our Li family. How would he dare to visit in person and deliver himself to the door today?

It must be a misunderstanding in the middle!"

"Two Seniors, this junior's trip here was truly just to visit Senior Sister Li. I didn't know about the things that happened on Mount Yunlong, and I hope the Seniors will understand."

Facing the somewhat unreasonable Li Boying before, although Song Qingming had been desperately explaining for himself, he still couldn't explain it clearly.

Seeing that Li Mengliang appeared and things seemed to have a turning point, Song Qingming did not let go of this good opportunity and hurriedly explained again with sincerity.

Hearing Song Qingming's words, Li family Ancestor Li Boying, although his expression had eased, still did not completely let go of the doubts in his heart and asked him sharply again: "Just visiting, yet you resorted to coercion and inducement to use such an inferior strategy? I'm afraid your purpose for this trip is not so simple!"

"This... to tell you the truth, besides visiting Senior Sister Li, this junior also has an item to turn over to her personally.

This item was brought by a friend of Senior Sister Li, who told me not to borrow the hands of others and must deliver it to Senior Sister Li personally.

I failed to see Senior Sister Li when I sent a message at the foot of the mountain yesterday, and I didn't want to break my promise to others, so I was a bit anxious for a moment."

When Song Qingming set out to come to the "Donghuang Country" cultivation world, Song Qingyu had solemnly handed him a letter, asking him to help deliver it to Senior Sister Li Xuanyi personally.

This time, Song Qingming took the initiative to come to "Mount Yunlong." Besides wanting to visit Senior Sister Li Xuanyi, whom he had not seen for many years, it was indeed also because of this letter.

At this moment, hearing Li Boying's questioning, Song Qingming thought about it and did not hide it anymore, telling the matter of delivering the letter directly.

Hearing this, Li Boying and Li Mengliang looked at each other and said directly: "Where is this item now? Take it out and let us see!"

"This... two Seniors, I promised her when I came that I would deliver this letter to Senior Sister Li personally!"

Seeing Song Qingming's hesitant expression, Li Mengliang hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Little Friend Song, I know you are also a person who values love and righteousness.

If Xuanyi hadn't had an accident, we two old men naturally wouldn't want to make things difficult for you like this.

But now that Xuanyi has suddenly disappeared, we want to see this letter, nothing more than to find her back as soon as possible!

Since you and Xuanyi are fellow sect members and friends, I think you should also be able to understand our painstaking efforts as elders!"

"Two Seniors, this item concerns this junior's promise. May I open this letter and take a look before making a decision?"

"Hmph! Kid, you are standing here and still dare to bargain with us? What do you think my Mount Yunlong is?"

"Third Great-Uncle, don't be angry. The top priority is to find Xuanyi's whereabouts. Don't worry about this little thing!"

Seeing Li Boying beside him suddenly change his face again, Li Mengliang hurriedly comforted him, which made Li Boying's expression ease slightly.

Afterward, Li Mengliang turned to Song Qingming and said: "This matter is fine, Little Friend, please feel free.

We only want to know Xuanyi's whereabouts. If there is anything inconvenient for us to see inside, you don't have to show it to us.

But there is one point: if it concerns Xuanyi's whereabouts, I hope Little Friend will help and inform us. It will be as if my Li family owes you a favor."

"Senior, please rest assured. I am a fellow sect friend of Senior Sister Xuanyi, and I will naturally not refuse if I can help."

Li Mengliang, although he was also a Nascent Soul cultivator who had cultivated for many years, spoke in a very kind tone, obviously much easier to communicate with than that Li Boying.

Seeing that the other party had agreed to his request, Song Qingming first placed a protective shield in front of him before casting a spell to carefully take out the letter Song Qingyu had handed him.

Although he had promised Qingyu before that he would not peek at this letter, now that he had failed to see Senior Sister Li Xuanyi and was facing such a situation, Song Qingming had no way to care about these things anymore and directly removed the restrictions on it and took out the letter.

After a simple scan of the letter, Song Qingming found that it only contained some greetings from Song Qingyu to Senior Sister Li Xuanyi, and a simple statement of her cultivation situation over these years.

Apart from this, there was no other content, which made a flash of doubt cross Song Qingming's eyes.

At first, when Song Qingyu asked Song Qingming to help deliver the letter, she was very cautious. Song Qingming thought that something important was written in the letter, and he didn't expect that there were only a few greetings on it.

Seeing that there was nothing to hide in the letter, Song Qingming did not hesitate too much and threw the letter in his hand to Li Mengliang directly in front of them.

After the two Li family elders took the letter and looked at it, as Song Qingming expected, looks of surprise appeared on their faces one after another.

After a long while, Li Mengliang asked Song Qingming again: "Little Friend Song, what is the relationship between the person who sent this letter and you?"

"Reporting to the two Seniors, to tell you the truth, the person who asked me to deliver the letter is a friend of this junior. Senior Sister Xuanyi met her because of me when she traveled to the East Sea cultivation world back then.

A few years ago, when I learned that I was coming to the Donghuang Country cultivation world, she took the opportunity to ask me to deliver this letter to Senior Sister Xuanyi.

On the way before, I hadn't opened this letter. If it weren't for the two Seniors, this junior would absolutely not have peeked at this letter in advance."

Li Mengliang was silent for a long time, exchanged glances with Patriarch Li Boying beside him, and then moved his spiritual light to return the letter to Song Qingming's hand.

"Even so, it seems that this matter is indeed a misunderstanding. I made Little Friend feel frightened just now!"

After speaking, Li Mengliang also smiled and bowed slightly to Song Qingming, taking the initiative to express his apology.

Seeing this, Song Qingming, who had just taken the letter, was slightly surprised and hurriedly bowed in return.

"Senior is too polite. Speaking of which, it was this junior's reckless actions yesterday that caused everyone to misunderstand. I have offended the two Seniors, and I hope you will be magnanimous."

Li Boying, standing to one side, heard Song Qingming's active apology and waved his hand directly: "Alright, since it's a misunderstanding, it's clear now, you don't need to explain too much.

But there is one point, I still want to tell you: if I find out in the future that Xuanyi's disappearance has something to do with you, then I won't be as polite to you as I am today."

After speaking, Li Boying suddenly shot out a fierce sword light from his hand, which flew past Song Qingming's head and landed on the wall not far behind him.

After the spiritual light dissipated, the wall was not damaged at all, leaving only a very inconspicuous tiny hole, which made Song Qingming nervous again.

To be able to cast such a powerful magic spell and control the force so evenly and just right, this person is truly worthy of being an old-fashioned "Nascent Soul cultivator" who has cultivated for thousands of years.

It has to be admitted that a Nascent Soul expert like Li Boying, who is only one step away from the Nascent Soul late-stage, has strength that is absolutely incomparable to those opponents Song Qingming has encountered before.

Even in the "Grand Void Gate," apart from Master "Daoist Lingxu" and Senior Brother Fu Jinglong, I am afraid that few others have the confidence to win a fight against this person.

After warning Song Qingming verbally, Li Boying did not stay too long and flashed away, leaving only Li Mengliang and Song Qingming, who was still a bit dazed.

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed still a bit nervous, Li Mengliang hurriedly smiled and comforted him: "Little Friend Song, Third Great-Uncle is just a bit hot-tempered, don't take it to heart."

"This junior dares not!"

Seeing that Song Qingming quickly changed back to a calm appearance, seemingly not angry because of what had just happened, Li Mengliang smiled and nodded, then continued to sigh: "Xuanyi has been deeply loved by the patriarch since she was a child, and it just happened to be near her joyous day, but I didn't expect her to disappear suddenly at this time. These days, the patriarch is also extremely anxious about this.

Regarding what just happened, Little Friend Song, please don't take it to heart. These spirit stones are just to help you calm your shock!"

After Li Mengliang finished speaking, he moved his spiritual light, and another bag of spirit stones fell into Song Qingming's hand, full and containing several thousand.

"Senior is too polite, this junior..."

Seeing this situation, Song Qingming just wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Li Mengliang waving his hand.

"Besides this, this old man has another unfeeling request, and I hope Little Friend Song will help."

"Senior, please speak directly!"

Li Mengliang nodded slightly and continued: "Since what happened in the hall just now has passed, let's not mention it between us anymore.

I hope Little Friend Song will absolutely not talk about this matter outside, lest it cause even greater misunderstandings in the future. Little Friend understands what I mean!"

Although the "Grand Void Gate" is a sect that avoids the world and there are not many disciples on the island, there is still a Soul Transformation cultivator like "Daoist Lingxu" in the sect, and its strength is far from comparable to ordinary Nascent Soul sects outside. Although Song Qingming is only an outer sect disciple, being bullied by someone older and stronger in Nanzhou, which is so close to the sect, is not a good thing to say.

Hearing Li Mengliang's reminder, Song Qingming thought about it for a while and immediately understood. The other party must be afraid of being pursued by the "Grand Void Gate" in the future for today's incident, which is why they don't want him to talk about it.

However, just as the other party thought, although Song Qingming was frightened by the other party today, he didn't really want to be petty enough to care about this matter.

After all, the Li family of "Mount Yunlong" is Senior Sister Li Xuanyi's birth family, and Song Qingming definitely has to give this face.

Seeing that Li Mengliang gave him a step down, he immediately smiled and nodded knowingly: "Senior Li, please rest assured, I have a sense of this matter in my heart and will not let the sect know.

To tell you the truth, Senior Sister Xuanyi took good care of this junior in the sect back then, and Song is also very grateful in his heart, otherwise he would not have come to visit in person today.

When I arrived at the foot of the mountain and learned of Senior Sister's joyous event, I originally thought that I came at a good time and could have a cup of wedding wine, but I didn't expect it to be this situation, and I was truly very surprised.

I hope Senior will rest assured that if I really know Senior Sister's whereabouts, this junior will definitely not dare to deceive you."

"Hehe! Little Friend Song's words are so sincere, this old man naturally believes them. With your words, I can rest assured.

Please wait here for a moment, Fellow Daoist, and I will arrange for Xuanfeng to send you down the mountain later."

(Original text being read!)

Seeing that Song Qingming spoke so sincerely, Li Mengliang immediately nodded slightly in response, then turned and walked out of the hall.

After Li Mengliang left, the nerves that Song Qingming had been keeping tense finally relaxed slowly.

Through the contact just now, Song Qingming soon understood that although Li Boying had appeared very fierce before, he didn't really want to do anything to him, but just wanted to scare him.

Combined with Li Mengliang's appearance later, Li Boying and Li Mengliang of the Li family, one singing the red face and one singing the white face, were obviously because they suspected that Li Xuanyi's disappearance had something to do with the "Grand Void Gate" and wanted to use this to get information from Song Qingming's mouth.

It's just that they suspected the wrong person. Song Qingming was indeed completely ignorant of Senior Sister Li Xuanyi's disappearance. Even if Li Boying really beat Song Qingming to death on the spot, he couldn't give the other party the answer they wanted.

Looking at the spirit stone bag in his hand, Song Qingming sighed slightly in his heart, then generously put the spirit stones into his storage magic treasure.

Although it was not what he wanted, if he didn't accept these spirit stones, a very shrewd person like Li Mengliang would definitely not be at ease letting him leave.

Anyway, he was indeed frightened by the other party, so he should be given some compensation.

Having experienced the series of things just now, Song Qingming, who was originally confused, was frightened, but he finally figured out some of Senior Sister Li Xuanyi's current situation.

Sitting alone in the hall at this moment, recalling what had just happened, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

In recent years, Senior Sister Li Xuanyi first suddenly withdrew from the sect, then was about to get married, but disappeared suddenly at the critical moment when the dual cultivation ceremony was about to be held.

Thinking about these things that happened one after another, Song Qingming still had many doubts in his heart.

If Senior Sister Li Xuanyi voluntarily wanted to return to her family to get married and therefore voluntarily left the "Grand Void Gate," this is not difficult to understand and makes sense.

But since Senior Sister Li has chosen to return to her family, why did she suddenly leave for no reason before the wedding? There are so many cultivators on "Mount Yunlong," and there is a Nascent Soul expert like Li Boying, so it shouldn't be that she was kidnapped, right!

Thinking about it, Song Qingming still couldn't understand it very well, and he couldn't guess where Li Xuanyi had gone after her sudden disappearance.

Like Senior Sister Li Xuanyi, who likes to travel everywhere, if she really wanted to leave, it is possible for her to go anywhere.

Perhaps she is just walking around in other prefectures of "Donghuang Country," or perhaps she will directly leave the "Donghuang Continent" and go to other cultivation worlds to travel, which is not impossible.

After Li Mengliang left, more than an hour passed.

Just as Song Qingming was sitting in the hall pondering the doubts in his heart, two streaks of light suddenly flashed at the entrance of the hall, and Li Xuanfeng, who had been gone for a long time, appeared in front of Song Qingming again.

However, this time, Li Xuanfeng did not come alone, but was followed by a young man in white robes with a somewhat handsome face, who was also a Golden Core late-stage cultivator.

Seeing Song Qingming walk toward them, Li Xuanfeng hurriedly greeted him and bowed: "Fellow Daoist Song, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Zhou Daoping."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, greetings!"

After the man in white robes, Zhou Daoping, returned the bow, he scanned Song Qingming and suddenly said: "I heard that Fellow Daoist Song is looking for Fellow Daoist Xuanyi?"

Hearing the other party's inquiry, knowing that the other party should be clear about Li Xuanyi's disappearance, Song Qingming nodded hurriedly:

"That's right! I met Fellow Daoist Xuanyi many years ago. This time I happened to pass by Mount Yunlong, so I came to visit on the way.

It's a pity that I couldn't see her, and this trip is a bit regrettable!"

"Hehe! Life is full of regrets, Fellow Daoist, don't be discouraged. Perhaps it won't be long before you have a chance to meet again."

"Fellow Daoist is right, but I am about to leave Donghuang Country and return to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range in a few days, so I am afraid I will have to wait until the next time I come to have this opportunity."

Hearing Song Qingming's answer, Zhou Daoping nodded with a smile, then bowed to Song Qingming again:

"Meeting today can be considered a fate. Zhou would like to make a friend with Fellow Daoist Song and entrust you with a matter. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

He and the other party were only meeting for the first time, and hearing that Zhou Daoping actually had something to entrust to him, Song Qingming was also full of confusion and asked with some incomprehension:

"Song is about to return to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range in a few days. I don't know if I can complete the matter entrusted by Fellow Daoist. Can you tell me first, Fellow Daoist, so I can think about it?"

Zhou Daoping shook his head upon hearing this: "Fellow Daoist Song, you are overthinking it. This matter is just a small effort for you."

After speaking, Zhou Daoping moved his spiritual light and had an extra rolled-up white scroll, which he handed directly to Song Qingming.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this was painted by Zhou in his spare time for Fellow Daoist Xuanyi. It is not a precious item. Please help me accept it. If there is an opportunity to see Fellow Daoist Xuanyi in the future, please help me pass it to her."

"Ah! Did Fellow Daoist Zhou misunderstand? I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Xuanyi for many years, and I don't know where she is now. I'm afraid there is no chance to meet her outside.

If you entrust this to me, I'm afraid you will entrust it to the wrong person and delay your important matter!"

Facing the scroll in Zhou Daoping's hand, the confusion on Song Qingming's face increased, and he did not dare to take it for a moment.

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to have some worries and could not complete his entrustment, Zhou Daoping hurriedly smiled and explained:

"Fellow Daoist Song, don't overthink it. I said before that this is just an ordinary portrait, not a precious spiritual object. You just help me accept it.

If there is an opportunity to help me pass it to Fellow Daoist Xuanyi in the future, that would be best. If you don't see her, it doesn't matter. Making a friend like Fellow Daoist Song today is also a joyous event, so just treat it as a small gift I give to you!"

"This... alright, Song will do his best."

Seeing that the other party had spoken to this point, Song Qingming felt that refusing again would seem a bit ungiving of face, so he hurriedly stepped forward and took the white scroll from Zhou Daoping's hand and carefully put it away.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist! It is rare to meet you today, and Zhou happens to have a jar of excellent spirit wine with me. Why don't we have a drink together?"

"I will naturally accompany you!"

"Then count Li in too!"

Seeing that Zhou Daoping was very forthright in his speech, Song Qingming also had a good impression of him, so he nodded and agreed. Li Xuanfeng, who was on the side, did not want to miss it and joined in with a smile.

Under Li Xuanfeng's arrangement, the three of them found a bamboo pavilion on the mountain and sat down, drinking happily.

Song Qingming and the other two were all Golden Core cultivators facing Core Formation, and their cultivation levels were not much different. When it came to cultivation, there were still many topics they could talk about.

Like Song Qingming, Li Xuanfeng was also a cultivator who had broken through to the Golden Core 9th-layer for many years, and had tried to condense the Nascent Soul twice, but both failed.

Although Zhou Daoping's cultivation was lower, he had also reached the Golden Core 8th-layer, and it was estimated that in another twenty or thirty years, he would be able to try to condense the Nascent Soul.

Time passed quickly, and soon the sun set behind the mountains. It was not until the whole jar of spirit wine was bottomed out that Zhou Daoping was the first to stand up and say goodbye.

After Zhou Daoping left, Song Qingming, sitting in the bamboo pavilion, thought for a while and asked Li Xuanfeng beside him: "Fellow Daoist Li, is this Fellow Daoist Zhou...?"

Hearing Song Qingming's inquiry, Li Xuanfeng smiled slightly and did not answer him directly.

But Song Qingming had already understood in his heart and sighed helplessly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Xuanfeng asked: "Fellow Daoist Song, since you have nothing to do on the mountain, I will send you down the mountain. This is also what the Ancestor ordered!"

"Then I will trouble Fellow Daoist Li!"

Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly, and his light flashed, taking Song Qingming down the mountain together.

On a small mountain not far from where the two disappeared, the two Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Li family, Li Boying and Li Mengliang, were standing on the top of the mountain, quietly watching all this.

Until Song Qingming's figure passed through the "Mount Yunlong" protective formation, Li Boying turned and asked: "Mengliang, that kid shouldn't talk nonsense after he goes back, right?" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 839 =====
