As the Universe Turns - Chapter 294

Chapter 294 Lianhua
“Fellow Daoist, be careful along the way.”

Liu Xuanyang didn’t ask any more questions. He rolled up his sleeves and took Cangfeng Valley and Yu Xu Guan’s disciples on a cloud of mist.

Master Violet Void watched as everyone gradually disappeared into the sunset. He changed his path and headed east.

It was about midnight, and the bright moon in the sky was thousands of kilometers away, illuminating the boundless mountains as if it was washing away. Zixuan Shangren’s dao was not shallow, and he unleashed his Imperial Swordsmanship all the way to the east.

He didn’t know where he had come from, but suddenly, the dark clouds closed the moon, and he landed. Without the moonlight, the mountain became even more ghostly, emitting a strange aura everywhere.

Zixuan Shangren didn’t know what he sensed, but he became exceptionally cautious at this moment. Even the whisk in his hand gradually condensed true energy.

“Fellow Daoist He Fang is in the front?”

Zixuan Shangren pushed away the branch in front of him and carefully leaned forward. At this moment, a black mist suddenly swept towards him, and a fierce cold wind blew towards his face. Zixuan Shangren was suddenly shocked. He swept the dust and quickly condensed a protective true essence in front of his chest.

However, that black mist had already arrived in front of him in an instant. Even though he already had the cultivation of Void Refining and Dao Harmonization, he was still unable to move under the cover of the black wind at this moment. His entire face couldn’t help but change color in shock, “You are …”

Before he could finish speaking, a hand suddenly stretched out from the black mist and instantly covered his head. A miserable scream sounded out, and the black crow that was several kilometers in radius fluttered and landed on the ground.

…

As for Lian Hua Palace, it was late in the morning and everyone was still enjoying themselves. The moonlight outside the window was bright, and Xiao Chen poured his own wine without saying anything to anyone else.

Hua Weiyang spoke very well to the crowd. Compared to many men, he was no weaker. When the banquet was about to end, Xiao Chen suddenly left alone. Hua Weiyang saw him leave and stood up to follow him.

Madam Xian Shu was still chatting with the crowd. Seeing that the two of them had left, she nodded and smiled at the surrounding people and followed them out.

After catching up to Hua Weiyang, Madam Xian Shu pulled her back and said, “Weiyang, leave him alone.”

“Xian Shu …”

Hua Weiyang turned around and looked at his former disciple and current sister. For some reason, he let out a long sigh.

He went to the nearby pond and looked at the moon shadow. Hua Weiyang sat down and sighed softly, “He still can’t put it down. He doesn’t say anything, but in his heart, it’s always right, devil is devil, right is right, wrong is wrong …”

As she spoke, she gently flicked her finger through the water, causing ripples to spread out on the surface of the water. Under the moonlight, it was as transparent as her thoughts in front of Madam Xian Shu.

Madam Xian Shu had known her for many years, so how could she not understand her thoughts? Even if she was unwilling to say anything, she would never let anyone know.

Madam Xian Shu could also see what kind of person this Xiao Yichen was. He was not the kind of person who fell with the wind and wanted to change. He was not the kind of person who was ungrateful. He was still in the Righteous path today and could join the Devil Religion tomorrow.

He clearly knew what was going on in his heart. However, the more he did, the coldest and merciless he would become in the world if he were to be completely cut off from the Righteous path one day in the future.

After a while, Hua Weiyang suddenly turned to look at Madam Xian Shu and said, “Oh right, Xian Shu, you said that the Master of Brightmoon Valley brought a baby girl today? Who is she?”

“Mm …”

Madam Xian Shu nodded slightly and said, “It was Mingyue who discovered it when she passed by the Hundred Flowers Branch Altar yesterday. The Hundred Flowers Branch Altar was destroyed by Tang Yu that day and all the disciples in the palace died. However, when Mingyue passed by yesterday, she heard the cries of babies coming from the corner.”

“Is that so …”

Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but recall Xiao Chen’s background, but he felt a little more miserable in his heart. He said, “Take me to take a look.”

“Mm, you come with me.”

A moment later, the two of them arrived at a pavilion room filled with fragrance. Madam Xian Shu carried the sleeping baby girl out of the cradle and smiled gently, “Wei Yang, do you think she is cute?”

“Mm …”

Hua Weiyang gently stroked the baby girl’s cheek with his fingers, but he noticed a petal mark on the baby girl’s forehead. He couldn’t help but frown, “This is …”

Madam Xian Shu smiled and said, “Isn’t it amazing? This child was born with a petal birthmark between his eyebrows. I think it was destined for Lianhua Palace.”

“Do you know the child’s background?”

“All the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Branch Altar have died. There’s no way to investigate …”

Madam Xian Shu shook his head, and his gaze gradually fell on the petal mark between the baby girl’s eyebrows. After a while, Hua Weiyang asked, “Then what are you planning to do with this child?”

Madam Xian Shu smiled softly, “I intend to adopt her.”

From Madam Xian Shu’s affection for the baby girl, Hua Weiyang could already tell, “Then … have you thought of a name for her?”

Madam Xian Shu smiled and gently stroked the petal mark between the baby girl’s eyebrows. “She is destined for Lianhua Palace. Why don’t you … call her ‘Lianhua’?” He said.

“Lianhua …”

Hua Weiyang looked at the sleeping baby girl and a smile gradually appeared on her face. However, in her heart, she thought that Xiao Chen was also like this back then. He was picked up by Ling Yin and said, “Dumb guy, he was lucky. He was picked up by the admired Goddess Miao Yin. Do you think that if Lianhua grows up in the future, the world will call her a demonic witch?”

At this point, she gently sighed and gently stroked the baby girl’s face. One of them muttered to himself, “Lianhua Lianhua, your life is so bitter …”

The candlelight in the room flashed gently, and Madam Xian Shu’s heart also flashed gently. She raised her head and stared blankly at her at this moment. In the past, she had never said such words.

…

Tonight, the moon was bright and the wind was clear. Xiao Chen did not know where he had arrived at Lianhua Palace alone. He saw a flower forest in front of him. Under the moonlight, it was like snowflakes falling from branches, drifting in the wind and overflowing with fragrance.

Such beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day, but the hostility in his heart gradually increased. What was right and what was wrong? Could it be that it was wrong that he did not hesitate back then? Was it right to gather with those people from the Devil Religion to drink wine today?

Right or wrong, there has never been anything right or wrong in this world!

“Zheng!”

With a sharp sound, a dazzling cold sword appeared in his hand. Following the sound of the wind, he handed the sword forward and executed a set of exquisite sword techniques.

In an instant, the entire forest was filled with wind and killing intent. The sword shadows were dazzling, and petals fell from the sky, withered and shattered beneath the blade of the sword.

Very quickly, the entire forest was covered with a layer of fallen flowers, but the killing intent, coldness, and ruthlessness did not diminish.

Right at this moment, a burst of footsteps slowly entered the forest. Xiao Chen’s sword tip was ice-cold. He turned around and stabbed out with his sword. It was extremely sharp, but it finally stopped in front of that person.

However, the blade of the sword was only three inches away from her eyebrows.
