As the Universe Turns - Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Leave

It was already dusk outside. Xiao Chen was walking back when he suddenly remembered that today was the seventh day of the seventh month. He remembered that Wei Yang had said that her birthday was on this day.

He looked around and was in a hurry. He didn’t know what kind of gift to prepare. Seeing the flowers all over the place, he thought that Wei Yang liked flowers, so he picked some and gave it to her.

When night fell, he took a bouquet of flowers and went outside Hua Weiyang’s courtyard. He shouted softly, but there was no response from inside. He couldn’t help but wonder, Wei Yang was clearly inside, why didn’t he answer him? Could it be that in the next few days, when she came looking for her in the future, she was angry again?

Immediately, he entered the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he felt a wave of cold air invade him. He went up to the pavilion and knocked lightly on the door, “Wei Yang? Are you inside?”

After shouting for a long time, there was no sound coming out of the room. Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown. Just as he was about to push open the door and enter, Hua Weiyang’s voice finally sounded from inside, “Stupid … idiot, don’t … don’t come in.”

“Wei Yang? What’s wrong?”

Xiao Chen frowned. At this moment, he suddenly felt an extremely heavy chill coming out from the crack in the door.

Such a cold aura caused his entire body to tremble. He could no longer care about so much and pushed the door open in a flash.

The moment he pushed open the door, the scene in front of him left him stunned.

“Wei Yang!”

Xiao Chen was shocked. Flowers fell all over the floor, and then he rushed in in an instant. However, he was blocked by the frightening cold aura from Hua Weiyang’s body.

“Don’t … don’t come over …”

Hua Weiyang curled up on the bed and kept hiding. Her face was abnormally pale, and a thick layer of ice had condensed on her hair and eyebrows. The cold air in the room was even heavier, circling the entire room, preventing Xiao Chen from approaching.

“Wei Yang …”

Xiao Chen could no longer care about that. With a single stroke of luck, he broke through the layers of cold air and rushed to the bedside to probe her inner breath.

However, the moment his fingertips touched her, it was as if he had touched tens of thousands of years old ice, causing his entire body to feel as if he had received an electric shock. It was as if he had suddenly touched a burning ceramic, and he instinctively retracted his hand.

“How could this be …”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were filled with disbelief. How could Wei Yang’s body be so cold? What exactly happened to her …

“Idiot, get out …”

Hua Weiyang’s face was in extreme pain, but he kept shaking his head, “I’m fine … I’m really fine, it’s just a little cold. After tonight, I’ll slowly recover. Don’t come near me, I’ll freeze you …”

“Wei Yang …”

Xiao Chen didn’t care what she said. The moment Genuine energy’s luck landed on her back, he sent the pure Yang energy from his body into her body.

“Idiot, don’t …”

“Don’t speak.”

Xiao Chen frowned. Although he didn’t know why there was such a strong chill in her body, just like that time on Mount Kunlun, he knew that the pure Yang energy in his body could relieve this chill.

Fifteen minutes passed. Twenty-five minutes passed. Hua Weiyang’s expression finally recovered. Seeing that she was slowly improving, Xiao Chen immediately withdrew his strength and asked, “How is it? Are you feeling better?”

“Idiot …”

Hua Weiyang’s face was still a little pale. He pounced on his shoulder and tears streamed down his cheeks. “What are you doing … Didn’t I say that you would lose your lifespan …”

“Nothing …”

Xiao Chen gently stroked her long hair on her back. As long as it could lessen her pain a little, then what if she lost a few years of her life? Hua Weiyang shook his head, “You don’t understand, you don’t understand …”

After a long time, Hua Weiyang stopped sobbing. At this moment, the moonlight shone through the window. There were still a few sparkling tears hanging on her long eyelashes. Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sigh. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. “Is it better?”

“Mm …”

Hua Weiyang looked at him and then at the flowers scattered all over the door. Finally, he hesitated and asked, “Can you tell me now what happened to that cold aura in your body?”

“Nothing …”

Hua Weiyang shook his head and whispered, “I only have a cold constitution. I’ve been afraid of the cold since I was young, and I’ll be fine after a while …”

“But …”

“I’m really fine.”

Xiao Chen still had to say something. Hua Weiyang stretched out his finger and gently blocked his lips. He slowly shook his head, “I’ve been here for so many years. Don’t worry …”

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. At this moment, the moonlight outside the window was bright, but it couldn’t be undone. The two of them had their own deep thoughts.

It was not until dawn that Hua Weiyang slowly fell asleep. Xiao Chen gently covered her blanket and looked out of the window at the crescent moon. After sitting quietly for a while, she got up and walked to the house. She picked up the flowers scattered all over the floor, put them in her vase, and then quietly left.

Three days later, the cold wounds on Hua Weiyang’s body had basically healed. Today, the two of them came to Daoist Gudeng, and Daoist Gudeng knew that the two of them had come to say goodbye today.

“Little friend Wu Chen, Miss Wei Yang, you’re here.”

There was a faint sandalwood burning in the attic. Daoist Gudeng stood up from the prayer mat. Xiao Chen took a step forward and cupped his hands, saying, “Junior and Wei Yang are here to bid farewell to Senior. Thank you for taking care of me these days.”

“Mm …”

Daoist Gudeng nodded slightly and walked over, wanting to say something. In the end, he only said, “Stay back and be careful.”

“Thank you for reminding me, senior. I will pay attention.”

Xiao Chen understood what Daoist Gudeng meant. If he was from the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm, Daoist Gudeng would naturally not say such words. But now, Daoist Gudeng already knew that he was not from the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm. No matter how strong a person was, he was still weak and could not resist those major powers. However, he had offended many powers less than a year after arriving at the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm.

“Wei Yang, do you have anything else you want to say to Senior?” Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Hua Weiyang.

Hua Weiyang took a step forward and smiled gently at Daoist Gudeng. “It’s time to leave after being disturbed for a long time. This idiot has never been very good at speaking. In short, Wei Yang will remember Senior’s teaching today. He will never forget this idiot’s memory for the rest of his life.”

“Haha!”

When Daoist Gudeng heard this, he laughed heartily and shook his hand, “Miss Wei Yang, you’re being too polite to say that.”

Hua Weiyang smiled gently and looked at Xiao Chen again. “You idiot, how could Senior easily impart a divine ability to others? Also …” he whispered.

She wanted to laugh and say, “Hurry up and call Master, then leave.” But when she thought of Ling Yin, she was afraid that it would bring back Xiao Chen’s sad past, so she changed her tone and said, “You’re still so stupid.”

Xiao Chen scratched his head. Only then did he realize that the power of the Azure Dragon belonged to the power of the Azure Dragon. He had given it to Adept Taiwu. However, before obtaining the power of the Azure Dragon, Daoist Gudeng had not only given him some understanding of the Nascent Soul, he had also done his best to stabilize the White Infant and his cultivation.

Now that he had purposely taught himself a Great Freedom divine ability, he didn’t even think of asking for anything in return. How could he just say, “Thank you senior for taking care of me”? Xiao Yichen, ah, Xiao Yichen, on this level, Wei Yang is much more careful than you.

Lonely Lamp Zhen stroked his white beard and looked at the two with a smile on his face. He thought to himself that this girl was smart and intelligent. She was really rare in the world. He really didn’t know who she was. She was so knowledgeable about the world, and she was much better than that Qin E girl from the Tian Lan Sword Sect.

“By the way, little friend Wu Chen, take this kind of thing.”

Thinking of this, Daoist Gudeng took out another item from his sleeve. It was the Heavenly Extreme Token that Xiao Chen had handed over when he entered the Heavenly Extreme Pagoda. Now, after the Heavenly Extreme Token, the words “Wu Chen” had already been carved on it.

Over the years, many outstanding disciples of the Heavenly Pagoda had come out. After completing their studies, the disciples either went their separate ways or returned to their clans. However, this Heavenly Pagoda was the only one in the world after everyone’s name was engraved on it. In the future, if they encountered any difficulties, they could still use this card to seek help from the Heavenly Pagoda.

Although the current Heavenly Pagoda was not as powerful as it used to be in the eyes of outsiders because of some things, it was once the most unfathomable of the three great powers. Today, it was only because of something from many years ago.

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to receive the Heavenly Extreme Token. Although a small Heavenly Extreme Token was light, it carried a lot of kindness. He couldn’t help but recall that he hadn’t brought anything when he came to the Xuanqing Sect for such a long time, and hadn’t taken anything when he left.

It had only been less than a year since he had arrived at the Heavenly Pagoda … Even though he knew that he wasn’t really going to enter the Heavenly Pagoda, Senior Lonely Lamp still handed this Heavenly Pagoda to him and even carved his name on it.

This feeling was very heavy, and also … very heavy.

…

After leaving the Extreme Heaven Pagoda, Xiao Chen looked back and saw that in the clouds, the pagoda was faintly tall and did not see the top. For thousands of years, the pagoda had remained standing.

“Idiot, where are we going next?”

At this moment, Hua Weiyang suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Xiao Chen came back to his senses and glanced at the distant cloudy horizon. He said, “Go to the Middle Realm. I want to visit the ruins of Bie Jian Villa.”

“Alright.”

Hua Weiyang nodded, thinking that he was still thinking about what happened last time. It didn’t matter if he went to take a look. If it was really as she had guessed, things might not be simple anymore.

Immortal North Ancient Realm’s travel was not as convenient as the Central Plains of Xianyuan. It was only half a month later that the two of them changed horses and carriages and arrived at the border between the Eastern and Middle Realms. This mountain range stretched endlessly, and after passing through it, it was the most prosperous Middle Realm.

At this moment, the two of them were standing on a green peak, looking at the mountain range surrounded by clouds and mist. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the road. Seeing his thoughtful expression, Hua Weiyang asked, “What’s wrong?”

“No.”

Xiao Chen shook his head and turned around. He didn’t know if it was an illusion or something, but he always felt that someone had been eyeing him these past few days.

“Let’s go.”

The two of them moved and disappeared into the cloudy mountain range in the blink of an eye. Three days later, they passed through the mountain range and spent another three days before arriving at the ruins of the Bie Jian Villa.

It was currently August, and many other places were still in the heat. However, when they arrived at the foot of the Bie Jian Villa, they could gradually feel a wave of cold air invading them.

Walking a few miles further, one could see clouds covering the sky, cold winds howling in the mountains, grass growing everywhere, rocks rugged, and even a bit more miserable at dusk.

Such a scene reminded Xiao Chen of the ruins of the ancient village.
