Xiao Yi slightly frowned.
Hearing this familiar voice and seeing the familiar spear style in the fierce Thunder Dragon attack, he already recognized the identity of the person coming.
It was Ran Qi. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Clang...
The Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear charged forward.
Xiao Yi blocked it with his bare hand, easily receiving it.
Seeing the familiar face amidst the crackling lightning, Xiao Yi found it both amusing and helpless.
"Ran Qi." Xiao Yi secretly smiled in his heart, shook his arm, and easily brushed aside the spear.
Ran Qi’s face was cold, his gaze sharp, "An Evil Cultivator, today is the great wedding day of the Young Masters of Ye Saint Mansion and Heavenly Star Prefecture, and you dare to step in?"
"I’ve never seen an Evil Cultivator like you who walks so openly and blatantly."
Xiao Yi’s face twitched, "And I’ve never seen a Martial Artist like you who goes out without using your brain."
"Impudent, still dare to be arrogant." Ran Qi shook his spear, Thunder Dragon raged on the spear, ready to strike.
Xiao Yi, annoyed, took out the Token, waving it to stop Ran Qi’s actions.
"Black Demon Hall Deacon?" Ran Qi squinted, staring at the Token.
Then carefully scrutinized Xiao Yi.
In his eyes, the Martial Artist in a black robe in front of him had no discernable aura, his body hidden by the wide black robe.
Under the wide black robe was a pair of white-gloved hands.
"I remember now." Ran Qi’s face tensed, "White gloves, fully clad in black robe, no aura discernible."
"A few days ago, the guy who turned the Eastern Range upside down and bloodied along the way, it was you, wasn’t it?"
"Black Mage, Xiao Xun."
"As you say." Xiao Yi answered indifferently.
Of course, his voice was exceptionally hoarse.
"Hmph." Ran Qi retracted the hostility on his face, but the spear in his hand did not dissipate, instead he snorted coldly.
"They say you, Xiao Xun, are like a monster, similar to a madman, arrogant and ruthless, killing unpredictably."
"Today I see, truly not a virtuous one."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s face twitched once more under the wide black robe.
"Attack then, let me see how skilled you are." Ran Qi shouted coldly.
"I’m not interested in fighting you." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"What, the great Black Robe Xiao Xun, afraid? Don’t dare?" Ran Qi, sneering.
But obviously, it was just a low-level provocation tactic.
"Say what you like." Xiao Yi shrugged, his figure flickering as he flew away controlling the air.
Entangling with Ran Qi, this Martial Arts Fool, was clearly unwise.
Although he knew Ran Qi’s character long ago, Xiao Yi did not mind, but now he was in a hurry.
Behind him, Ran Qi’s face was filled with a desire to fight. He looked like he was going to catch up with Xiao Yi, but seeing Xiao Yi’s casual shrug, he suddenly paused.
"Xiao Yi?" Ran Qi, paused for a bit, then shook his head the next second.
"No, no, no, that guy, is as pretty as a woman, how could he be this ugly monster in a black robe."
Ran Qi dispelled the thoughts in his heart, and at this moment, Xiao Yi had already disappeared into the distant sky, without a trace.
...
Outside Ye Saint Mansion.
Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, appearing out of thin air.
At this moment, Ye Saint Mansion, within a hundred-mile radius, was festively decorated, vibrant everywhere.
In the Eighteen Mansions Territory, the marriage of two Young Masters was certainly a major event.
Visitors were coming and going continuously.
Among them, big and small forces from the Eighteen Mansions Territory were all present.
Other than that, various forces from the Central Region also came over.
From those Xiao Yi recognized, many were Family Heads and elders from first-class forces or above.
Even overlord forces like the Beiyin Sect were led by their Young Sect Master, Beiyin Dong.
Today, within Ye Saint Mansion, it must have gathered over eighty percent of the first-class forces known by name from the Central Region, and renowned martial artists were not few.
Ye Saint Mansion had a huge reputation in the Central Region, plus it had hardly offended any other forces, naturally, having friendships from all directions without end.
Xiao Yi headed towards Ye Saint Mansion, but not yet reaching the front door, he was stopped by two Ye Family Members.
"May I ask if this guest has an invitation?" The two Ye Family Members asked with a smile.
"Invitation? No." Xiao Yi shook his head.
The hoarse voice startled the two slightly.
Upon hearing this, the two politely said, "Sorry, those without an invitation can only sit at the banquet outside the mansion."
This time, for the marriage of the Young Master at Ye Saint Mansion, Ye Saint Mansion held a grand banquet spread throughout the town.
The entire city where Ye Saint Mansion was located celebrated together, the feast held for three days, anyone could take a seat.
But only those with invitations could enter the main banquet at Ye Saint Mansion.
Ye Saint Mansion was only so big.
And the invited forces were hundreds, if not more?
How many martial artists came here to congratulate?
Naturally, only distinguished forces and notable martial artists could enter the main banquet at Ye Saint Mansion.
At least, they had to be a first-class force or above.
"This..." At this moment, Xiao Yi hesitated after hearing these words.
Just about to nod.
In the distance, a familiar figure happened to walk by.
Beside the figure was an old man.
The figure was Ye Liu, and the old man was obviously an elder of Ye Saint Mansion.
The elder quickly approached, courteously addressing Xiao Yi, "Friend, please enter the main banquet in the mansion."
"Thank you." Xiao Yi expressed his gratitude, glanced at the distant Ye Liu, smiled faintly, and then proceeded to walk into Ye Saint Mansion.
As Xiao Yi entered Ye Saint Mansion.
Two Ye Family members looked at the elder in confusion, "Um, elder, that guy obviously didn’t have an invitation..."
The elder ignored the two and walked towards Ye Liu, puzzled, "Young Master, that fellow clearly didn’t have an invitation. Why let him into the mansion?"
"If they are some dubious characters, they might disturb the feast."
"Dubious characters?" Ye Liu shook his head with a light laugh, "Idiots, you don’t even have a bit of acumen?"
"That fellow, if I’m not mistaken, is Black Robe, Xiao Xun."
"What? Xiao Xun?" The elder gasped and then strode toward the two Ye Family members, glaring fiercely.
"Idiots, you don’t even have a bit of acumen?"
"That Xiao Xun is notorious for his unpredictable killings, violent temper, can you provoke or stop him?"
The faces of the two Ye Family members turned to fear upon hearing this.
Not far away, Ye Liu stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.
The elder glanced over and stood by Ye Liu’s side.
It is unknown how much time passed as Ye Liu continued to stand there, gazing into the distance.
Beside him, a figure appeared out of nowhere, it was Guu Lianxing.
"Brother Ye, stop waiting." Guu Lianxing said with a slight tone of discontent.
"The wedding should have started half a month ago, you keep delaying it for Young Master Xiao Yi, Father is already quite displeased."
"If Young Master Xiao Yi truly hasn’t died, he will come."
"If he doesn’t come..."
Ye Liu interrupted in a deep voice, "I firmly believe that Brother Xiao Yi would never die so easily."
"He must still be alive."
"If he can come, he surely will; if he doesn’t come, it proves he must be tied up with something and cannot come."
"Young Master." The elder beside frowned and said, "Today is your joyous day, it’s better not to speak such words of ill omen."
Ye Liu nodded, looking at Guu Lianxing, "Lianxing, you go prepare first."
"Hmm." Guu Lianxing nodded and turned away.
...
Dusk approached.
Outside Ye Saint Mansion, Ye Liu, who had been waiting, could only sigh, shake his head, and turn away.
Inside Ye Saint Mansion, Xiao Yi chose a table near a corner and sat casually.
Seeing Ye Liu’s expression filled with complexity, Xiao Yi just shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Yi knew how terrifying his current appearance was.
This damaged body full of poison sores and blood blisters would surely frighten people.
After all, today is Ye Liu’s joyous day; he doesn’t wish to cause any unpleasantness, let alone cast even a shadow on this celebratory atmosphere.
Thus, he deliberately sat among the crowd in the corner.
Before long, the banquet tables were filled with fine wine and delicious food.
An hour later, the most important couple of the day appeared before the guests.
Ye Liu wore new clothes.
Guu Lianxing in a phoenix crown and red robe, the clothes embellished with points of starlight, as beautiful as a celestial being falling to earth.
The two newlyweds were bathed in the congratulatory words of the guests.
Ye Liu poured wine to toast everyone, cup after cup, filling them again and again.
When the toast was directed towards Ran Qi’s direction.
Ran Qi seemed somewhat absent-minded, as if pondering something, with a trace of worry flashing on his face.
He was still thinking about that unintentional shoulder shrug earlier today.
In fact, for someone like him who is a Martial Arts Fool, what he should care more about is Yi Xiao, whom he has arranged a fight with.
However, during the journey to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, he acknowledged Xiao Yi as a friend.
Especially after escaping from the Four Great Elders of Mirror Flower Water Moon, Xiao Yi has had no news since then.
Today, this familiar movement suddenly brought back his thoughts, naturally, he is still thinking about Xiao Yi, feeling somewhat absent-minded and worried.
But, today is after all a day of celebration, the joy around him.
Ran Qi quickly reacted, raising his glass towards Ye Liu, drinking it all, and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, congratulations."
...
After three rounds of drinks.
The guests continued to exchange cups and chatter.
In the corner, under the wide black robe, Xiao Yi drank a cup of wine from the table.
Then, he placed the glass down and stood up.
In the Central Region, though news of his death as Xiao Yi spread everywhere.
But clearly, his few friends here are unwilling to believe it.
If alive, only breathing serves as proof, and no one cares whether he is alive, knows if he is alive, and then being dead doesn’t make much difference.
Having such a group of people caring, thinking about, believing in him may be more important than many things.
Xiao Yi sighed slightly in his heart.
He had already sent the congratulatory gift, and drank the celebratory wine.
Now, it’s time to leave.
Xiao Yi adjusted his robe, covering his body and face more tightly.
Then turned around and left.
Amidst the dense laughter and conversation of the crowd, Xiao Yi’s figure silently departed.
Thorns lie ahead, awaiting him may be more unknowns and dangers.
But the road, he must continue to walk, without stopping!
...
Third update.
Today’s update, completed.
