Chapter 78: Troubled by Fate

  The male lead is coming, there are about ten days left before the Spring Festival, have you all prepared?

  Is there really such thing as fate in this world?

  He, Feng Tongtao never believed this, but couldn't help denying it. As the descendant of Bingxue bloodline, he had to suffer from cold poison all the time. Although Zhu Yingyu had previously given him some kind of活血丸 (a medicinal pill), which was effective at first, later on, it didn't have any effect anymore.

  Even afterwards, Zhu Yingyu also re-prescribed medicine for herself, but it would often lose its effect every now and then. So she could only use the traditional method of soaking in a warm water pool on full moon nights to thoroughly release the cold poison.

  It wasn't until he went out and walked a distance on the sandy road that he suddenly realized that today's self was very strange. Even if he had soaked in the hot spring before, he would still need to lie down for several days, but this time why did he become so energetic?

  Could it be that Yan Lirong, this lucky person, can really bring him good fortune?

  He remembered that she had entrusted him with something, so he had to go see that acquaintance today. An acquaintance who liked to interfere in other people's business and whom he didn't want to meet.

  Qī Shàolián, in terms of identity, should be considered his paternal cousin.

  That is to say, Qi Shaolian's father was originally his brother's younger brother. Because when he was young, his grandmother insisted on marrying his eldest uncle to a family with the surname Qi, and the Bai Man Sect represented by the Qi family had always been in a deadly relationship with their Li Heng Sect.

  Even if Qi Shaolong came to recognize him for no reason, he wouldn't take Qi Shaolong seriously. Moreover, that guy's skills were great, and he couldn't catch him. Even though Sai Guangchen could sometimes predict something, but once he encountered Qi Shaolong, he would miscalculate.

  Just like this time, Feng Tongxu felt ironic that he had a high status, but his body was always poor, as if he would die at any moment. So, he always felt that Qi Shaolian's appearance was not good intention. Even though, in these years, under the joint efforts of Sai Guangchen, they were not to be underestimated by the overall strength of Heng Jiao, but if they encountered Qi Shaolian's deliberate obstruction, in fact, he had no great chance of winning.

  However, he actually made this move, perhaps Qi Shaolian wanted to see him. As for the specific reason why, he didn't know either.

  Just like three years ago. Feng Tongxu reappeared in the maple forest, looking at the red leaves on the trees, rustling in the wind, but his heart could no longer find peace.

  From time to time, skylarks fly by, this is the intersection of Hengjiao, generally people without certain strength can't stay there for a long time.

  Occasionally, a pale blue gas floats in the air, which is the sacred beast unique to the Liangong Sect. Because they move at high speed, ordinary people can't see their true face clearly, and even he has never seen it before.

  "Little brother, you've finally arrived." A magnetic male voice broke the silence.

  Feng Tongxu raised his head and saw a man in black descending from the sky. He knew that this person was Qi Shaolian, even though he was now wearing a mask. However, apart from Qi Shaolian, there really wasn't anyone else who liked to interfere so much. Others either fawned on him, feared him, or viewed him as an enemy when they heard that he was the leader of the Liheng Sect.

  Someone like Qi Shao Lian who reacted this way can be said to be an oddity.

  "Don't be too self-righteous there." Feng Tongxu said fearlessly to Qi Shaolian, even if he wasn't fully recovered from the poison now, but he wouldn't be afraid, losing a battle didn't mean losing everything, and he wouldn't have any thoughts of retreating. Moreover, he was also clear that if Qi Shaolian really wanted to deal with him, there was no need to use this method.

  "Do you remember? Three years ago, I said that three years from now, we would meet again today." Qi Shaolian gently lifted off his mask, and his bright, spirited eyes met Feng Tongxu's with a fervent expression.

  He still remembered the regret his father had mentioned, and he also deeply understood his grandmother's choices. He knew that someone like Feng Tongxu would never be able to understand him, but he really wanted to return to his ancestral home as soon as possible, and he also hoped that the Heng Sect and the Bai Man Sect could reconcile their differences. Even if achieving this goal required paying a certain price, he was willing to wait for it.

  In fact, he knew something about Feng Tongxu and his woman Mo Qianer, and he had even seen the woman.

  It's just that, after hearing that the woman had died, Feng Tongxu became even more cold and unfeeling. He was willing to let Lian Qing Jiao and Bai Man Jiao return early, but in fact, he had been paying attention to everything about Feng Tongxu all along.

  That woman, Yan Lirong, from another world, unexpectedly looked very similar to Feng Tuo's previous woman, so he maliciously... no, should say he was kind enough to send her to Feng Tuo.

  And as he had expected, Feng Tung-hsiu naturally knew how to come and see him.

  "Don't try to get close to me, just say it, what do you want to do?" Feng Tongxu averted his gaze and regained his usual cold arrogance. As for Qi Shaolian, he had never thought of accepting him.

  However, he did not expect that Qi Shaolong would actually summon his beautiful boy summoner Yan Lirou to his side. What a terrible ability it was, and when his body was getting weaker and weaker, Qi Shaolong became so terrifying.

  When did Qi Shaolong's Bagua mirror manage to transport people to wherever they wanted to go? The array transformed by the Bai Man teaching Qi's Bagua mirror has always been very powerful, but it is said that it can only transport people or objects to other places, but there is no way to choose where to transport them.

  But now... Feng Tongxu knew that three years had passed, and Qi Shaolian might have become even more formidable. But was "he" still the same person he used to know, who loved to chat and gossip, and liked to interfere in other people's business? Or had "he" already become worldly-wise?

  "Shouldn't you be grateful to me?" Qi Shaolian raised the corner of his lips and smiled, gazing at the red maple leaves that filled the forest. Even his eyes were filled with a reddish hue. He had thought that after sending that woman to Feng Tongyu, "he" would be especially happy, but instead, it was beyond his expectations.

  "Grateful to you?" Feng Tuo Xu's eyes narrowed, but a thread of vigilance arose in his heart. The weight of the word "grateful" was too heavy; he always felt that Qi Shao Lian, who spoke such words, was truly the most dangerous one.

  "She looks just like Mo Qian'er, don't you think she's a gift from heaven for you? You're not making good use of her, and instead, you're sending her on some mission?" Qi Shaolong looked at Feng Tuo Xu with confusion. In fact, he couldn't understand Feng Tuo Ya either. If it were him, if there was a woman who looked like his deceased wife, he would definitely hold on to her tightly, unlike Feng Tuo Xu, who didn't seem to care at all.

  "There's only one Mo Qian'er in the world, no matter how similar someone looks, they can never replace her." Feng Tongxu heard Qi Shaolian's words and couldn't help but find it amusing. Did Qi Shaolian really think that as long as a woman looked like Mo Qian'er, she could take her place in his heart? "He" was indeed just as he had been before, loving to meddle in other people's business!

  "Don't pretend to be what you're not, she's already gone. If you find someone like her, doesn't that just prove that you want to hold on to her forever?" Qi Shaolian thought it was a waste of time, he felt that if Feng Tongxu showed more warmth, it might be easier to persuade him to let the Liuheng Sect and Bai Miao Sect make amends.

  Although this discordant tradition has continued for several hundred years, he wants to dissolve all the grievances.

  "You really love to interfere in other people's business, apart from looking like her, what else is similar?" Feng Tongxu felt his heart aching when he said this. To be honest, there were many women who had a crush on him, but she used a face that looked like Mo Qian'er to show him that she was completely unfeeling, and didn't even need him to take responsibility.

  Actually, he didn't plan to take any responsibility either. It's just that she was the only person who could let him get rid of the cold poison that had been bothering him, so he couldn't let her die. When she was poisoned by his cold toxin, he could only use his own essence to detoxify her. He believed that in the near future, as long as he waited for her to complete her task and then drank her blood and ate her flesh, or else he would be able to recover normally.

  He didn't want to have any feelings for her; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it.

  "This woman can actually dodge the light surface transformed by my Bagua mirror, such a woman really makes me have some interest, unfortunately, if you don't want to, I do...” Qi Shaolian looked at Feng Tongxu's unmoved expression and decided to change his words to see if he could provoke him.

  "Do you want her?" Feng Tuo Xu felt that Qi Shao Lian's words were really going to take his life.

  Yan Lirong is his Feng Tongxu's lucky charm, how can she fall into someone else's hands? It turns out that "he" is still trying to threaten himself in various ways, he really understands...

  "To be honest, if she can crack my Gu array, it will definitely help me create a flawless Gu array." Qi Shaolian thought of this and felt very excited.

  "She's my person, would I give her to you?" Feng Tongxu replied coldly, but somehow this sentence felt sour. In fact, that stubborn foolish woman was single-mindedly thinking of saving those handsome men, and he couldn't understand why she was doing it. Was it simply for the sake of completing a task in exchange for the right to return to her own world, or did she really have feelings for those handsome men?

  Actually, no matter what he's after or what she's after, but he knows that the relationship between them can't be cut off all at once.

  "Tell me, what do you want in exchange for letting us go?" Feng Tongxu immediately stated the purpose of their visit. If it weren't for Yan Lirong's request, or perhaps he simply didn't want to see Qi Shaolian.

  But since we've already met, we must have a good talk!

  "You don't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't let you go!" Qi Shaolian pulled out a brilliant smile and put on an "you're looking at it" expression!

  Is he satisfied with the answer? Feng Tung-hsu heard this and couldn't help but feel a big headache, what is someone like Qi Shaolian trying to do, he hates playing guessing games the most, and on top of that, Qi Shaolian himself is an incomprehensible weirdo, "his" thoughts have always been puzzling!
