Chapter 1: Whose Scenery is Whose!

  "Here it is!"

  Ye Xuan's eyes scanned the surroundings, and in the darkness, he could vaguely make out where they were. He only felt that this place was somewhat familiar. After a closer look, a hint of joy flashed across his heart.

  "This is Zuoying!"

  Ye Xuan's eyes lit up.

  Because...

  His uncle lives in Zoucheng!

  Before going to Qingyuan, he lived with his uncle in Zuyang City. The teahouse and the inn were all in Zuyang City. After he left, his uncle settled down in Zuyang City.

  Teleportation Charm, will move a person a short distance.

  It can be said that Ye Xuan was moved down from Hengyishan at just the right time.

  "My uncle lives in Zuoyang City, no matter what, I want to go see my uncle, but time is pressing, I can't stay in Zuoyang City for too long!" Ye Xuan thought to himself.

  From Mount Hengyizong to Zuyang City, this distance is not far at all for cultivators. The reason why the small teleportation talisman is called small is that the distance it can teleport is really limited. Like Fang Yunjian, a top-notch expert, he will probably catch up soon.

  "They should have discovered that I've learned the Green Sword Art and can't stay in Zuyang City for long!"

  Ye Xuan's mind was clear.

  The ancestors of Zuyang City are all the strong descendants of Mount Heng's green temple.

  After thinking clearly, Ye Xuan urged Jiang Qiao to give his own wings, flapping his wings and heading towards the ancestral city of Yu.

  ……

  His uncle lived in an inn, and Ye Xuan quickly found the location of that inn.

  He wanted to knock on the door and enter, but after careful consideration, he flew onto the window of the inn and entered his uncle's room from there.

  The room is very quiet.

  No candlelight.

  "Uncle!"

  Ye Xuan shouted out loud.

  He was perplexed in his mind.

  According to this time, uncle should still be resting and haven't woken up yet.

  "Not true!"

  Ye Xuan's eyebrows furrowed instantly.

  The room is empty.

  "Uncle!"

  He shouted again.

  The room was still as quiet as ever.

  "What's going on!"

  Ye Xuan felt something was off. His uncle had said he would be staying at this inn, and now it was nighttime, so it was impossible for him to leave.

  Where did his uncle go?

  Ye Xuan had a bad premonition, his eyes staring unblinkingly at the inn!

  Found!

  "He's not here!"

  Ye Xuan's breathing was slightly rapid.

  Hurry up!

  Which man does not want to return home in glory?

  Which man does not want to repay his loved ones?

  He really wants to come down from the green temple on Mount Hengyi, go see his uncle, and go see the uncle who has been dependent on him for so many years.

  Now he has returned to Zuyang City, come down from the Green Secluded Temple, and arrived at this inn, but can't find any trace of his uncle.

  Where did his uncle go?

  "Something is wrong!"

  More and more urgent, until...

  Anxious as if on fire!

  He searched the room, looking for any letters or notes his uncle might have left behind. After all, if his uncle had left alone, he would definitely leave a note to avoid worrying about his safety in this world that was not safe at all.

  "Hmm!"

  Before long, Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks.

  "There's an envelope!"

  He found a letter!

  It felt like a huge stone had fallen in his heart.

  If he left a letter, it means that his uncle is in no danger; otherwise, he wouldn't have left any letter.

  But...

  Why did that bad feeling in his heart still not disappear?

  Tore open the envelope in haste.

  Ye Xuan's eyes were focused on this letter.

  There is only one word on the letter!

  Only one word.

  Lofty and unrestrained, written in haste!

  "Run!"

  A lone escape character!

  An envelope with a white paper, only this one escaped character.

  A fleeing word.

  Ye Xuan furrowed his brow.

  "Run!"

  A single word can lead to countless doubts!

  Was it his uncle who let him escape or did someone want to kill his uncle and he escaped!

  Anger.

  "Who!"

  "Who is it!!!!!"

  The escaped word on this envelope is absolutely not that simple!

  ……

  The innkeeper was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, unaware that someone had suddenly climbed in through his window. The person wore a green robe and looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. It was none other than Ye Xuan.

  Ye Xuan entered through the window and without saying a word, directly grabbed the innkeeper.

  "Who? Who!!"

  The innkeeper, in a daze, felt the pain in his body and suddenly sat up with a start. He saw that there was an extra person in front of him and was immediately shocked out of his wits.

  "I... I'm just a small-time merchant, young master, please spare my life! All the silver I've earned over the years is yours!" The innkeeper reacted extremely quickly, thinking Ye Xuan was a robber, and immediately shouted loudly, intentionally amplifying his voice to seek help.

  Doing some small business abroad, how can I ignore these things?

  He also employs some powerful warriors and skilled martial artists in this inn.

  "I advise you, it's better not to play so many useless tricks!" Ye Xuan said coldly: "If I want to kill you, it's just a matter of moving my fingers. I'll ask you one thing, and you'd better tell me everything you know. If there's even half a bit of falsehood, be careful, I'll take your life!"

  "Don't... don't kill me, little brother! I'll tell you everything I know, just don't kill me!" The innkeeper was truly frightened.

  Ye Xuan knew that only by scaring the shopkeeper like this could he get all the information he wanted to know, otherwise it would be difficult to tell whether what the other party said was true or false.

  "I'm asking you, where did the guest in that upstairs room on the left go?" Ye Xuan said with a frown and a cold tone.

  "On the left... you're referring to that guest with the surname Ye, no, not a guest, but a noble!!" said the shopkeeper.

  He felt that Ye Xuan was somewhat familiar, after all, Ye Xuan had also stayed in this inn for a night when he didn't go to the Green Yin Sect. Now, after a considerable amount of time had passed, he only felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't quite recall where.

  "Right!"

  "That...that gentleman has never left our inn!"

  Ye Xuan grasped the shopkeeper's hand even tighter.

  The shopkeeper's body was suddenly filled with Ye Xuan's true energy, and he let out a loud roar as his body was wracked with pain: "Your Excellency, I didn't lie! I dare to swear to heaven that if I knew even half of what happened and didn't tell you, I would definitely suffer heavenly punishment and die!"

  Ye Xuan looked into the eyes of the shopkeeper.

  No lies were told.

  This shopkeeper probably doesn't know anything about what's going on.

  "Could it be that the escaped character wasn't Uncle escaping, but rather letting me escape!" Ye Xuan thought to himself.

  Just as he thought of this, his heart suddenly sank.

  Run, run to where?

  The most crucial thing is...

  Where is his uncle!

  Ye Xuan clenched his fists tightly.

  Crashing and colliding skeletons!

  The aura is turbulent, and the breath is overwhelming!

  "Great... great sir!" The innkeeper said cautiously.

  Ye Xuan gave him a cold look and slowly loosened his grip, saying: "You'd better not mention today's events!"

  "Yes, certainly, certainly!" The shopkeeper didn't dare show any dissatisfaction and hastily agreed with Ye Xuans words.

  Ye Xuan heard this, and only then did he release his grip, taking a step forward. In the blink of an eye, he jumped out from the window, and a pair of wings suddenly appeared on his back, fluttering as he vanished into the vast darkness of night.

  What his uncle left him.

  There is only this one letter.

  A thin sheet of paper.

  Ye Xuan grasped this thin paper tightly.

  A inexplicable pang in my heart!

  "Uncle!"

  Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "Where did you go in the end!"

  He's not stupid, on the contrary, he's extremely clever. His uncle left him a word 'escape', and among its many implications, one can be certain that there is danger, an unknown danger that first befell his uncle!

  "Uncle, something mustn't happen!"

  Ye Xuan clenched his fists tightly.

  He had no idea where he was going in his heart...

  My uncle went somewhere unknown.

  Where did he go again?

  "Go to Baita Pond!"

  Ye Xuan looked into the distance, memories of going to Baitianchi in his mind. He took out the token that Jiang Qiao had given him, this was a must-have token when he went to Baitianchi. His eyes stared unblinkingly at the token.

  "Let's go to Baihua Pond!"

  His figure...

  Gradually moving away!
