Free Web NovelChapter 1320: Chapter 1314
After Xin Lin returned to Qingtian Academy, she sought out Lu Yuan, Zuo Mingshang, Huang Xuerou, and others, briefly explaining her upcoming trip, merely mentioning that she would be accompanying Murong Ziyue back to Fengdong.
Upon learning about the Fengdong Mu Family, the three of them were filled with anger, especially Lu Yuan, who was eager to accompany them back.
"You little rascal, dreaming of meeting her family, no way. Though your cultivation is decent now, it’s still not as good as Ziyue’s. Besides, you don’t have permission to leave the Academy for a month, you’ll be expelled if you do. I wouldn’t want Minister Lu knocking on our door asking for you."
Xin Lin smirked.
Lu Yuan, hearing this, scratched his head in frustration.
"Xin Lin is right, Lu Yuan, you should keep cultivating at least until you can beat Ziyue," said Huang Xuerou and Zuo Mingshang with a smile.
The three agreed with Xin Lin to keep an eye on Qingtian Academy and contact Xin Lin if anything happened, and they went to Chu’s Restaurant for a small gathering.
During the meal, Murong Ziyue and Little Xinzhuo also arrived, and after some toasts and pleasantries, everyone went their separate ways.
Xin Lin returned to the small wooden house in the dead of night.
"I’m back."
Having had a few drinks of fruit wine, she was slightly dizzy, pushed open the door to find the room bathed in a cold moonlight.
The room was empty.
The effects of the wine instantly dissipated.
Gui Hu... was gone.
Xin Lin was somewhat gloomy and unhappy, and that night, she did not sleep soundly.
In her dreams, for some reason, she once again saw the scene from that day when she encountered Gui Hu of the Ancient Bronze Coffin.
She still hid inside the carriage.
But when she backed away from the Ancient Bronze Coffin, it was empty.
Gui Hu was gone...
The same night, under the same darkness.
On the outskirts far from Purple Cloud City, a beast-drawn carriage raced forward.
Pulling the carriage were strange beasts with nine bull and horse heads. Looking closely, their hooves tread upon black clouds, never touching the ground.
The carriage sped by, traveling several miles in an instant.
This was indeed a Ghost Chariot.
On the Ghost Chariot, there was only an Ancient Bronze Coffin.
The Ancient Bronze Coffin was adorned with intricate and beautiful patterns that shone brightly under the moonlight.
At midnight, a cluster of ghostly fire suddenly flickered and darted into the Ghost Chariot.
The ghostly beasts pulling the carriage roared angrily.
"Proceed."
Inside the chariot, a man’s cold voice echoed.
The Ghost Chariot continued on.
The ghostly fire crackled as it danced up and down before the Ancient Bronze Coffin.
The Ancient Bronze Coffin opened, and a tall man in black with blue eyes sat up.
When he saw the ghostly fire, a glimmer flashed in the man’s eyes.
He extended his bony ghost claw, catching the fire.
"A letter from Little Xinzhuo."
Gui Hulan’s blue eyes narrowed. Upon recognizing the signature on the letter, his gaze turned even colder.
Gui Hu, what are you hoping for, are you still expecting her to write to you?
In her heart, you are meaningless, just an emotionless corpse.
The ghost claw clenched, scattering the ghostly fire instantly in his hand.
The content of the letter wasn’t important.
Unless Xin Lin personally comes to apologize, he absolutely won’t return this time.
Up ahead, the ghost beasts suddenly halted, and the Ghost Chariot stopped.
Outside the chariot, a sublime sound of a pipa resonated, a melodious song lingering in the dark night.
The singing was melodious, clearly a woman’s voice.
In such a place, at this hour, how could there be a woman... or perhaps a female ghost.
Gui Hu raised an eyebrow slightly.
