780 Come Down and Serve Tea (1/2)
”Eh… yes, with you protecting Ping Yang, I'm… I'm relieved,” said Lin Mubai as he nodded his head subconsciously. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi and then at Ping Yang with a very complicated expression on his face.
Too fast!
The scene just now took place too quickly and he could not even react to it. How did Fang Zhengzhi dodge the woman's dagger? How did he appear next to her? He did see all these clearly and he could not even see some of it.
Grown. Truly grown. Ping Yang was not the only one. Fang Zhengzhi had grown too. Furthermore, his growth was even more terrifying.
Lin Mubai remembered that a few months ago, Fang Zhengzhi was still like his subject. At that time, they fought the Holy Barbarian Empire and King Xieluo together.
Right now…
In just a few months, he discovered that Fang Zhengzhi, who now stood before him, was someone he had to look up to.
”Hmph, I don't need your protection!” After her initial shock, Ping Yang recovered too. She pouted and her face blushed.
However, she could not help but look at the woman in white who had fainted. An incredulous look crossed her face and her chest rose and fell.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally did not mind Ping Yang's words.
In fact, this made him like her more. This was her true personality. She was slightly headstrong and brash. She would also never admit her weakness.
”Then, I shall shout,” said Fang Zhengzhi.
”Shout? What do you want to shout?” Ping Yang did not understand.
Lin Mubai was suspicious too. However, he did not open his mouth to ask. He regained his regal calm and naturally, this meant that Lin Mubai trusted Fang Zhengzhi completely.
”Since we're guests, even if I knocked one of their disciples, even if injured another, and even if I brought the slave here, I'm still a guest. The Ling Yun Tower must treat its guest properly, am I right? Hence, may I request Tower Master Cang Yue of the Ling Yun Tower to come out and personally serve me tea!”
Fang Zhengzhi's voice resonated up the Ling Yun Tower. When Lin Mubai heard this, he smiled wryly.
”Serve tea!”
Even though Lin Mubai knew how shameless Fang Zhengzhi was, he still could not understand its extent. After all, no normal person would say something like this.
Knocking one Ling Yun Tower disciple out? Injuring another? Taking a slave…
He admitted to all his wrongdoings.
In any other sect, these were capital crimes, right?
However, from Fang Zhengzhi's mouth, none of these sounded like capital crimes but instead, he seemed to be in the right. It was as if he had been maligned and now, he was asking Cang Yue to serve him tea.
Lin Mubai could not imagine how shameless could someone be to say something like this. Furthermore, he was able to say it in such a matter-of-fact manner.
…
Holy Region. Heaven Dao Pavilion. Underneath the Sword Peak.
”Boom!” A huge sound and a snowy-white figure rushed out from the ruined black palace underneath the sword peak.
”Pavilion Leader!”
”Master!”
When the two elders guarding the black palace and the dozens of disciples saw the person who came out, they were all anxious.
After all…
Mu Qingfeng had spent too long inside this black palace. From start to finish, he had spent almost two entire months.
”Crack!” The figure knocked into a huge tree and verdant branches rained down, turning the ground green.
Mu Qingfeng was half-kneeling on the ground and his face was pale.
”Pavilion Leader, what happened?” One of the elders swiftly rushed to Mu Qingfeng's side. Then, he tried to lift him up.
”It's not a ruin…” Mu Qingfeng did not reply to the elder. Instead, his pale face stared intently at the black palace which was not too far away.
”Not a ruin?!” The elder's expression changed.
Even though Mu Qingfeng did not reply him directly, this statement shocked him more.
Three months ago, the ruined black palace appeared underneath the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Until now…
The entire world underwent shocking changes. Ferocious beasts became fiercer. Odd scenes happened all over the Holy Region. These changes were too sudden.
In the eyes of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, these changes were linked to the black palace.
Right now, when Mu Qingfeng said that this was not a ruin, it undoubtedly made it even harder for a normal person to know its significance.
If this black rock palace was not a ruin, what was it?
This thought plagued the elder's mind.
While Mu Qingfeng did not give an immediate expression, he continued to stare intently at the black palace. He even forgot to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Only then did the elder reacted. Mu Qingfeng walked out, so where was Chi Guyan? Why did she not walk out of the black palace?
After all, two months ago, the two of them entered it together.
”Kaboom!” Just when a sense of unease plagued the elder's heart, another huge explosion rang out from within the black pavilion.
Then, a pink figure flew out. Unlike Mu Qingfeng, the pink figure was covered with a five-colored light.
”Guyan!”
”Senior Chi Guyan is out!”
”That's great!”
A look of calm crossed Mu Qingfeng's face. The other disciples guarding it were all delighted.
”Pavilion Leader, what exactly?” The elder tried to probe.
