As the Universe Turns - Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Girl
Below the pavilion, the youths and girls were still chattering nonstop. Yi Chen stood beside the crowd and slowly withdrew his gaze from the hillside pavilion. He thought to himself, Senior Brother, were you talking about him with the three elders just now? The expression on his face was constantly changing.
After a while, Yi Chen looked into the crowd again. He saw an acquaintance. That person was none other than Prince Zhao. Prince Zhao had obviously seen him earlier. He sneered and continued to talk to the young girls beside him.
“Senior Brother Zhao, do you really have an older sister already in Xuanqing Sect?”
A few teenage girls surrounded him and talked non-stop. They had just heard that he had an older sister in the three peaks of Yangguan. Even the address was changed to “Senior Brother”.
Prince Sun Zhao smiled complacently, “Of course. You don’t know that my sister was favored by the immortals and went directly to the Medicine Refining Peak in Yangguan. I will also go soon …”
“How about this …”
Many people in the surroundings cast envious gazes at him. Zhao Wangsun smiled coldly in his heart and glanced at Yi Chen. A trace of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. He would definitely avenge last month.
Not far away, Yi Chen keenly sensed the trace of killing intent, but his face remained calm. At this moment, the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down. A sword light flew from the distant horizon, approaching and transforming into a seventeen or eighteen year old girl, floating lightly outside the pavilion on the hillside.
However, seeing that the young girl was dressed in red and her figure was light, she had cultivated for only four years without eating the world’s fireworks. She was the daughter of the Zhao Clan, Zhao Ying’er.
“Three elders.”
Zhao Ying’er walked to the front of the pavilion and cupped her hands slightly towards the three old men inside. However, her expression was not as respectful as that of a Qingyi man. It was not strange. After all, she had directly gone to the Medicine Refining Peak.
The man from Qingyi looked at her with a smile on his face and said politely, “Junior Sister Zhao, why are you free to come to Pingyang Peak today?”
“I heard that my brother is here, so I came down to take a look.”
Zhao Ying’er’s voice was faint. As she spoke, she looked down into the crowd. Prince of Zhao, Sun Li, waved his hand and shouted, “Sister! I’m here!”
Zhao Ying’er smiled and waved her sleeves as she gently fell down. This was a bit rude in front of the three elders, but the three elders didn’t say anything. After all, the identity of the person who brought Zhao Ying’er back was not trivial.
“Sister, why are you free today?”
Seeing Old Sister come down personally, Zhao Wangsun’s face was filled with excitement and pride. Zhao Ying’er smiled gently, “How about not coming down to see you now? Are you alright?”
“Of course I’m fine!”
Zhao Wangsun chuckled and looked at Xiao Yi Chen. Zhao Ying’er smiled and said, “It’s good that you’re fine.” As he spoke, he also glanced at Xiao Yi Chen.
This glance was like a cold glow on the blade of a sword. It was as if someone had fallen into an ice abyss, causing the youths who were still standing near Yi Chen to subconsciously retreat to the side. They were afraid that the other party would mistakenly think that they were related to this person.
After a while, many teenagers and young girls surrounded Prince Zhao’s side, chatting and laughing like a moon. In comparison, Xiao Yichen stood not far away from him, and he seemed to be out of place in this world, as if he had an extra person.
“I’ll go see him.”
After signaling to the three elders, the man from Qingyi also flew down and landed beside Yi Chen. Seeing his lowered head and disappointed expression, he smiled gently, “What’s wrong?”
Only then did Yi Chen regain his senses. He looked up at him and shook his head, “Nothing.” The man from Qingyi smiled and looked into the distance, saying, “Your senior sister is here.”
“What?” Yi Chen looked up and saw a yellow-clothed girl riding a sword from afar. It was Huang Ying’er. He hesitantly said, “Senior Sister Huang …”
Huang Ying’er landed in front of him, put away her flying sword, and stuck out her tongue and smiled, “I had a lot of things to do today, so I asked Senior Brother to pick you up. You won’t blame me for not keeping my word, right?”
“No, no …”
Yi Chen shook his hand and looked at Prince Zhao’s side. He snorted coldly in his heart. At this moment, the crowd on both sides also moved aside. The surroundings suddenly quieted down. Zhao Ying’er looked over and said indifferently, “Senior Sister Huang Ying, long time no see.”
“Junior Sister Zhao, long time no see.”
Huang Ying’er’s voice instantly became much colder. Obviously, the two of them were not harmonious at the Medicine Refining Peak. It was precisely because of this that Huang Ying’er went to Wu Nian Peak at the beginning of this month.
Zhao Ying’er looked at Xiao Yichen again, a look of disgust appearing on his face as he said indifferently, “This person was brought here by Senior Sister Huang Ying?”
“What? Can’t I?”
Huang Ying’er looked at her. At this moment, the two of them exchanged glances. Their eyes were as sharp as the tip of a needle, causing one to tremble with fear.
The atmosphere became even more solidified. Even ignorant children could see the contradictions between the two sides. When Yi Chen saw that this person was targeting him, he didn’t have a good impression of the Zhao Clan. At this moment, he didn’t have a good expression. “Some of them can only rely on their father. Why can’t I come?”
Prince Zhao’s Sun Li felt as if he had been stabbed into a sore spot. Zhao Ying’er’s eyes shone with a cold light. Just as she was about to explode, a dignified voice suddenly came from the hillside. “Today is the entrance exam to Pingyang Peak. If you three have nothing to do with it, then go.”
These two words came from Qi gathering in his dantian. The sound was like a bell, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble. Although Zhao Ying’er did not put the three elders in her eyes, she knew the abilities of the three elders. Even if she was given another thirty years of cultivation, she would not dare to cause trouble in Pingyang Peak. She could only hold back her breath and glared at Xiao Chen hatefully. This gaze was a hidden killing intent.
Yi Chen looked at the two siblings and sneered coldly in his heart. At the same time, a young girl’s voice suddenly came from outside the valley. “Ah! The entrance exam has begun. Am I too late?”
The voice was like a wind bell under the eaves, and also like a jade plate falling from a pearl. It sounded extremely pleasant to the ears. Everyone couldn’t help but be stunned. They all followed the sound and saw a girl of twelve or thirteen years old walking towards them outside the valley.
The young girl was dressed in feathered clothes and smiled like a spring breeze. Her figure was as light as a floating cloud. She had already arrived nearby in a few steps. All the youths held their breaths. Even Huang Ying’er and Zhao Ying’er already had some cultivation, they were stunned. The young girl’s spiritual energy was like a fairy in the sky. Where should she appear in the world?
The man from Qingyi also held his breath and his heart pounded. This girl was the most talented person in the Immortal Origin Ancient Land in the past hundred years …
“Why are you looking at me like this?”
The young girl looked innocent as she blinked her big eyes at the crowd. Finally, her gaze fell on the dumbstruck Xiao Yichen and she sneered, “Hey! What am I asking you? What are you looking at me for?”
Only then did Yi Chen regain his senses and turn his head away, “Chi, if you don’t look at me, how do you know that I’m looking at you?”
Of course, he wasn’t like the other teenagers at this moment, because this young girl was so pretty that she was able to see through him. Instead, he was thinking, Senior Brother Qingyi and the three elders’ expressions were constantly changing. Could it be that they were talking about this person?
