Chapter 268: Gathering from All Directions
The next morning, when the first rays of dawn shone into the inn, Yueya woke up.
Looking at Duan Fengyun, who was still fast asleep, and then thinking back to her own initiative last night, Yueya couldn't help but blush.
However, when she thought about how the two of them had already consummated their relationship, and that her Brother Qin Shuang had promised to take her as his wife, her face was filled with smiles.
In a pleasant mood, she couldn't help but let out a giggle.
Duan Fengyun was startled awake by her laughter, and looking at the smiling Yueya, Duan Fengyun dotingly touched her head and asked:
"My silly girl, what are you laughing at?"
Yueya shook her head and replied:
"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you!"
After hearing this, Duan Fengyun pretended to be angry and said:
"You little wench, are you trying to rebel? Let's see how I deal with you."
Duan Fengyun's restless hand reached directly toward Yueya's Forbidden Land again.
Yueya blushed and pushed Duan Fengyun's hand away, saying:
"It's broad daylight, what do you think you're doing!"
After saying this, Yueya ignored Duan Fengyun, got out of bed, and sat on a stool.
Seeing this, Duan Fengyun burst into laughter, then he also put on his clothes and sat up from the bed.
"You must be hungry, wash up first, and I'll take you downstairs for breakfast."
Duan Fengyun said.
Then, like newlyweds, the two shared a lingering embrace before washing up.
After washing up, the two went downstairs; Duan Fengyun had no intention of taking Yueya to eat breakfast at this inn.
As for breakfast, Duan Fengyun naturally wanted to take Yueya to the morning market to experience the street stalls.
Duan Fengyun ordered two bowls of white porridge and a basket of soup dumplings, and the two began to eat.
Duan Fengyun, who was busy eating with his head down, heard a burst of noisy hoofbeats and thought to himself:
"So early in the morning, which lunatic is making such a racket?"
Duan Fengyun looked up and saw Yin Zhong and Tong Xin rushing past on horseback.
Duan Fengyun thought to himself:
"Where are Yin Zhong and Tong Xin running off to so early in the morning?"
He ignored Yin Zhong and Tong Xin and continued to bury his head in his porridge with Yueya.
Just as the porridge reached his mouth, Duan Fengyun looked again at the direction the two had gone, which was exactly the direction of the Shuiyue Dongtian he had discovered.
Duan Fengyun suddenly realized that Yin Zhong and Tong Xin were together.
The two of them were clearly on their way to Shuiyue Dongtian.
Realizing that something was wrong, Duan Fengyun immediately stood up. Yueya, seeing Duan Fengyun suddenly stand up, asked in confusion:
"Brother Qin, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Duan Fengyun nodded and said:
"That's right, Yueya, something has come up. I need to head out immediately. You be good and go back to the inn to wait for my return."
Duan Fengyun then took out a money bag and gave it to Yueya, saying:
"Spend whatever you want from the money inside, just wait for me to come back at the inn."
Yueya shook her head, pushed the money bag away, and said:
"No, are you trying to abandon me?
No matter where you go, I want to go with you." Duan Fengyun shook his head and said:
"Yueya, the matter I have to attend to this time is very dangerous. I have no problem going alone, but I definitely won't be able to protect you then.
Be a good girl and wait for me to return at the inn.
If nothing goes wrong, I will be back by tonight or tomorrow!"
Yueya stared at Duan Fengyun and asked:
"You aren't trying to abandon me, are you?
If it's true, I will search to the ends of the earth to kill you!"
Duan Fengyun shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, how could I abandon you? Just go back to the inn and wait for me in peace."
After confirming that Duan Fengyun was not abandoning her, Yueya nodded and turned to walk back toward the inn.
Once Duan Fengyun's Spirit Sense sensed that Yueya had returned to the inn, he immediately found a person selling couplets nearby, dropped a tael of silver, and said:
"Help me write a message.
Yin Zhong and Tong Xin have headed to Shuiyue Dongtian, please come quickly!"
After the scholar finished writing the message, Duan Fengyun found a little boy, took out a tael of silver, and said:
"Little one, help your brother deliver this to Yujian Villa, for Yin Tianxue."
The little boy nodded, took the silver and the note, and flew off toward Yujian Villa.
Tong Bo and the others had already been notified, and he also had to set off for Shuiyue Dongtian immediately.
Judging by the situation, Zhao Yun should also be making a move; he had to eliminate this snake-hearted woman at Shuiyue Dongtian.
If Zhao Yun came to Shuiyue Dongtian this time, Duan Fengyun would not let her leave alive.
If she didn't come, then Zhao Yun had escaped a disaster, and Duan Fengyun would only be able to find another chance to kill her next time.
Duan Fengyun immediately went to the stables, mounted his horse, and chased after Yin Zhong and Tong Xin in the direction of Shuiyue Dongtian.
As for the little boy bought off by Duan Fengyun, he arrived outside Yujian Villa, held up the note, and said:
"I want to see Yin Tianxue; someone asked me to deliver a note to her."
After hearing this, the guard, unable to judge the truth of the matter, brought the little fellow to Yin Tianxue's courtyard.
After Yin Tianxue took the note from the little fellow's hand and looked at it, her expression changed instantly, and she said:
"Who gave you this note?"
The little fellow shook his head and said:
"I don't know him. An uncle gave me a tael of silver and asked me to deliver a letter to Yujian Villa."
Tianxue then stared at the guard and asked:
"Is the Second Master in the villa?"
The guard shook his head and said:
"The Second Master left not long ago, taking Tong Xin of the three Tong brothers with him."
Tianxue was now certain of the note's authenticity, and she immediately rode her horse in a panic toward Longze Villa.
At this moment, inside Longze Villa, Tong Bo and the others were still preparing for their afternoon departure when Yin Tianxue suddenly rushed in.
Tong Zhan asked in surprise:
"Tianxue, why are you here?"
Yin Tianxue handed the note in her hand to Tong Bo and then said:
"Something terrible has happened. A little fellow was sent to deliver a letter saying that Yin Zhong has taken Tong Xin to Shuiyue Dongtian.
I just asked the Iron Guard, and Yin Zhong indeed left with Tong Xin."
While listening to Tianxue, Tong Bo opened the note. Tong Bo then said:
"Yin Zhong must want to reach Shuiyue Dongtian before us, have Tong Xin open the barrier, and then have the clansmen heal his injuries so that he can deal with us.
But if he sees that Shuiyue Dongtian is frozen, it is inevitable that he will do something extreme.
There is no time to lose; Tong Zhan, Tianxue, we must set off for Shuiyue Dongtian immediately."
Immediately, the group walked out of Longze Villa, and following Yin Zhong and Duan Fengyun, a third party set off for Shuiyue Dongtian.
As their thundering hoofbeats passed through the market, they were seen by Zhao Yun.
Seeing this scene and recalling the conversation between Tong Bo and Long Po, Zhao Yun knew that they were definitely heading to Shuiyue Dongtian.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun became the fourth force heading toward Shuiyue Dongtian.
It was just that Zhao Yun did not know that outside Shuiyue Dongtian, someone was wielding a Death God scythe, preparing to take her life.
Because he was worried about being discovered by Yin Zhong, Duan Fengyun walked and stopped along the way, deliberately keeping a long distance from Yin Zhong.
Therefore, when Duan Fengyun arrived at the primeval forest, there were only two horses there grazing leisurely.
Looking at this situation, Duan Fengyun knew that Yin Zhong and Tong Xin must have already opened the barrier of Shuiyue Dongtian and entered.
Duan Fengyun jumped off his horse, patted the horse's rump, and drove the horse away to another place.
However, he did not rush to enter the barrier of Shuiyue Dongtian; at this moment, Shuiyue Dongtian had not yet been unsealed, and if he went in rashly, his true form would be revealed.
So, it would be better for him to wait here for a rabbit; it would not be too late to enter after Tong Bo and the others unsealed Shuiyue Dongtian.
Thinking of this, Duan Fengyun flew directly to the top of a large tree and hid in the dense leaves.
At this moment, the six people, including Tong Bo, arrived here in a hurry. Looking at the two horses walking back and forth, Tong Bo said:
"Looking at this, Yin Zhong must have already had Tong Xin open the barrier of Shuiyue Dongtian; we must follow them in immediately."
Yin Tianxue and Yin Hao looked at the calm surroundings and asked in confusion:
"Where is the barrier of this Shuiyue Dongtian? Why don't we see it?"
Tong Bo and Tong Zhan smiled at each other. Then, Tong Zhan pulled Yin Tianxue, Tong Bo held Dou Dou's hand, and Yinxiu supported Yin Hao.
"Everyone hold on tight; we are now entering the barrier to head into Shuiyue Dongtian."
After speaking, Tong Bo and the others flew directly into a barrier and disappeared from where they stood.
Seeing Tong Bo and the others enter Shuiyue Dongtian, Duan Fengyun flew down from the tree.
He had just flown to the treetop to avoid Tong Bo and the others; now, let them properly drive the plot of Shuiyue Dongtian forward and unseal the ice of Shuiyue Dongtian.
Once they unseal the ice of Shuiyue Dongtian, my Xuanyuan Sword should be able to come out.
Once the Xuanyuan Sword is in hand, my shackles will be gone, and I will be free to roam this world.
At this time, Duan Fengyun, whose Spirit Sense had already spread throughout the forest, suddenly heard another sound of hoofbeats. With a sense of his Spirit Sense, Duan Fengyun discovered that the snake-and-scorpion beauty Zhao Yun had arrived.
Duan Fengyun muttered:
"If you hadn't come to Shuiyue Dongtian today, you could have lived a few more days.
It's a pity that since you took the initiative to run here to die today, I will have to fulfill your wish."
Duan Fengyun flew back to the treetop, waiting for Zhao Yun to come over.
