Killing God - Chapter 416
Chapter 416 Goodbye
Du Tiejian turned to look at Shen Shi and said, “Junior Brother Shen, where are you going?”
Shen Shi said, “Well, let’s go to the city and prepare some things.”
Du Tiejian nodded knowingly and smiled, “I see. However, time is indeed too tight this time. If there is anything missing or difficult to find, remember to ask me. Perhaps I can help.”
Shen Shi hurriedly thanked him. Yuan Xiuyu, who was beside him, smiled and said, “Brother Du, it seems that you have become rich after not seeing you for a few years.”
Du Tiejian snorted and said, “Haokuo, who in the world dares to compare with your Yuan Clan?”
Yuan Xiuyu laughed heartily and shook his head, “Vulgar, really vulgar. At least you are the head disciple of the Ling Xiao Sect. In the future, you might even be in charge of the Four Righteous Families. Why are you so vulgar?” As he spoke, he turned around and smiled at Gong Xiaoshan. “You’re right, Xiaoshan?”
Gong Xiaoshan’s expression was calm. He could not see any change in joy or anger. Even his tone was indifferent. “I don’t know,” he said. “I only remember that this vulgar person robbed your Heaven Splitting Demon Sword in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm back then. After that, no one could do anything to him.”
Yuan Xiuyu’s smile stiffened, as if he was almost petrified. After a long time, he said angrily, “Hey, do you know how to speak?”
The nearby Du Tiejian was extremely happy. He laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly. “Junior Sister Gong has a unique eye. She saw through this gentle scum with a single glance. Not bad, not bad.”
Yuan Xiuyu spat, saying, “What kind of gentle scum are you? Tell me clearly.”
Du Tiejian laughed heartily and ignored him. He only waved his hand at Shen Shi and strode forward. Gong Xiaoshan followed behind him. Only Yuan Xiuyu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly turned to Shen Shi. After a faint smile, he said, “Junior Brother Shen, right?”
Shen Shi nodded and said, “I am Shen Shi.”
Yuan Xiuyu smiled and said, “My name is Yuan Xiuyu. I’m from the Yuan Clan of the Origin Sect, so I should have cultivated earlier than you. I heard from Brother Du that you are going to visit our Origin Sect in the near future to temper yourself and explore the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm.”
“Yes,” Shen Shi said.
Yuan Xiuyu looked at Shen Shi’s young face and somehow sighed. He smiled and said, “Once every ten years, time is like water. I didn’t expect that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye.” There are both opportunities and dangers in that secret realm, but generally speaking, as long as you are patient and cautious, especially if you can refrain from haste and bear with it, and if your luck isn’t particularly bad, there will definitely be some gains. You can do it yourself. ”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “Yes, thank you, Senior Brother.”
Yuan Xiuyu nodded and smiled.
After walking for a while to catch up with Du Tiejian and Gong Xiaoshan, Gong Xiaoshan slowed down and deliberately lagged behind by a few steps. He quietly looked at Yuan Xiuyu who had caught up with him and said, “He’s just an ordinary disciple who isn’t famous. Do you need to have some kind of relationship with him? This is different from most of the disciples of the three ancient families of Yuan, Song, and Gu.”
Yuan Xiuyu’s expression did not change. He was calm and composed. He still had a gentle smile on his lips. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said with a smile, “It was just a few casual words. It was neither painful nor itchy, and it didn’t take much effort.” “Besides,” he smiled and looked at the back of Du Tiejian, who was walking in front of him. “That person seems to have entered the eyes of our Brother Iron Sword. Even though he isn’t outstanding at the moment, it’s not wrong to show some human friendship.”
Gong Xiaoshan curled her lips and snorted, but did not say anything else.

After separating from Du Tiejian and the others, Shen Shi didn’t waste any time wandering around Floating Cloud City. He directly went to the East City and walked all the way to the Xu Clan’s mansion. He invited people to inform him to enter.
Hearing that Shen Shi had returned, the Xu Clan’s commotion was not small. Although Old Madame Xu did not show up, the Patriarch, Xu Teng, and Xu Xing, who had just recovered from their beds for many days, both came out to meet him. Shen Shi was also slightly surprised by this, but he was still quite happy to see Xu Xing’s current appearance of being able to walk on the ground.
Compared to the past, Brother Xu Teng and Brother Xu Xing’s attitude towards Shen Shi seemed to be even warmer. Their conversation was very close, and during their conversation, they also talked about the advance of the Four Great Conferences. Shen Shi was originally a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. No matter what, the Xu Clan was an old clan that was deeply rooted in Lingxiao Sect. No matter how many descendants of the Xu Clan practiced in Lingxiao Sect, they naturally knew about this news long ago.
However, the two brothers’ enthusiasm for Shen Shi had another aspect. However, Shen Shi didn’t think about it. The final ranking of the Hundred Mountain Realm trials that had just ended had already been sent to the desks of the various aristocratic clan masters in Liuyun City. It could be said that this final result shocked many people.
The most obvious and direct consequence was that the Zhong Clan, which had been defeated, had suddenly flourished in the past few days. Many aristocratic clans that used to be above the top had once again begun to communicate with Zhong Liancheng. Apart from that, Shen Shi, who was ranked third in the trial, was also noticed by many people at the same time.
The Xu Clan was very happy and proud of their outstanding vision. To be able to obtain such a position in such a trial, The chances of success in the future were by no means small. The Xu brothers were eager to immediately bring Shen Shi to the Xu Clan. Their conversation was warm and friendly, and they had even received Shen Shi for a long time than usual. Shen Shi, who had originally only come to deal with him out of courtesy, was prepared to go and see Ling Chunnie immediately, causing him to be a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the Xu brothers were well-educated after all. After laughing for a while, they understood Shen Shi’s request to visit Ling Chunni in the guest room of the Western Garden. At the same time, they also warned Shen Shi not to be polite in the future. He could come to the house to chat at any time. Miss Ling Chunnie did not need to leave, as long as she treated the Xu Clan as her own home.
Finally, when Xu Xing sent Shen Shi out, he casually said that the Beast Alliance in Floating Cloud City had been uprooted by the Xu Clan. Most of the villains were ambushed and executed, while the rest were scattered. There was no need to worry about it. Therefore, if Miss Chunni was bored, she could already go out for a walk now, which could be considered as the Xu Clan taking revenge for Miss Chunni.
Shen Shi sighed in his heart. He once again sighed at the profound foundation of the Xu Clan. After thanking them all the way, he arrived at the Xu Clan’s mansion’s western courtyard.
④
As usual, the courtyard was quiet. The pavilion was as green as a parasol tree. Walking into the courtyard, it felt as if a calm aura was isolating the clamor and liveliness outside.
Shen Shi only felt that his mood had suddenly calmed down at this moment. The courtyard was deep and the beauty was alone. That strange gentleness seemed to suddenly surge into his heart.
In the past, when she wasn’t here, would she have been alone in the courtyard, leaning against the railing and meditating?
Or late at night, when the moon was full, she sat alone with her clothes folded. The stone steps in front of the door were bright and clear, and the stones were as cold as water.
Do you miss me occasionally?
Could it be that he also whispered softly?
When he looked at the moon with his cheeks on his back, would he wonder where the lovesick person was under the same moonlight?
The door was tightly shut, and it was completely silent.
Shen Shi took a deep breath. Suddenly, he felt somewhat nervous. He was somewhat excited and somewhat guilty. He walked to the door and lightly knocked on the door.
“Pa pa, pa pa …”
The clear knocking on the door was especially clear in this quiet courtyard. Even in the room with the doors and windows tightly shut, there was a faint echo. Shen Shi stood at the door and said,
“Spring mud, it’s me. I’m back.”
The room seemed to have suddenly become quiet for a moment. A moment later, right in front of Shen Shi, the tightly closed door suddenly opened rapidly. A figure stood at the door and stared at him blankly.
It was Ling Chunnie.
After not seeing her face for many days, Shen Shi suddenly felt a strange strangeness in his heart. However, that charming face was so familiar that when he looked carefully, it was clearly her. Thus, he was happy and revealed a smile.
Ling Chunni stood at the door and looked at the familiar smile on the man’s face. Then, the figure stepped forward like a mountain in front of him, blocking the light outside the door. His hands surrounded him with a familiar aura and smell.
In the next moment, he hugged her deeply,
And hugged her in his arms.
As a result, the heavens and the earth went away one by one. Thus, the small courtyard of the house no longer paid attention to it. In the center of its eyes, it could not breathe, could not think, and was filled with his shadow.
His smile.
His aura, the feeling of his arms hugging his body.
She was infatuated, but she suddenly wanted to cry in her heart.
Thus, she grabbed his arm and hugged his body tightly. She buried her head deep in his embrace and did not lift it again. She rubbed it with all her might, causing her cheeks to feel painful. Then, she told herself that this was not a dream.
Even if it’s a dream, don’t wake up.
Shen Shi was shocked by Ling Chunni’s silent but somewhat intense way of meeting her, but his heart immediately softened. He patted her back gently and said with a smile, “I’m back.”
Ling Chunni was still buried in his embrace, not saying a word. He just hugged his body tightly and refused to raise his head.
At some unknown time, the skirt on his chest was slightly wet.
