Killing God - Chapter 419

Chapter 419 End Of Lane

At noon on this day, Liuyun City in spring was the busiest and busiest time. The streets filled with shops such as Nan Bao Fang were crowded with people and were extremely bustling. However, compared to the clamor in South City, the Eastern City, where the ancestral houses of many aristocratic families were located, was much quieter. Although there were many pedestrians on the broad and flat road, there weren’t too many noises in front of the dignified and solemn old houses.

Zhong Qingzhu walked out of the Zhong Clan’s old mansion. She walked expressionlessly on the road. Behind her, some of the servants of the Zhong Clan looked at her back with envy. Now, who didn’t know that the two young ladies of the Zhong Clan were influential figures in Lingxiao Sect. They had earned some face for the Zhong Clan that had once fallen from the clan’s path. Even no one in the Zhong Clan dared to underestimate them.

However, when it came to underestimating Zhong Qingzhu in the past, she was actually only pointing at Zhong Qingzhu. Her background was not very good, and when she came to the Zhong Clan alone with her mother, she was no different from an ordinary servant of the Zhong Clan. Who would have thought that this quiet and reserved little girl would have such accomplishments in the future? As for Zhong Qinglu, she was the direct daughter of the Patriarch Zhong Liancheng. She had been the apple of her eye in the Zhong Clan since childhood. Which servant dared to underestimate her after eating the Bear Heart Leopard?

Now that time had changed, everything was different from before. Because of Zhong Qingzhu, her mother’s status in the Zhong Clan had risen by leaps and bounds. Zhong Qingzhu’s feelings for the rest of the Zhong Clan were average, but he had grown up with his mother since he was young. This relationship could not be abandoned at any time, so once he had time to go down the mountain and return to the city today, he would return to the Zhong Clan to visit his mother as soon as possible.

But after the visit, Her mood was not very good. Perhaps her mother’s Liu family was weak and her ears were also very soft. She did not know if she had been persuaded by the Zhong family several times in the past. After meeting her daughter, she would occasionally warn Zhong Qingzhu to respect the Zhong family and repay the Zhong family. She would always say that the Zhong family was grateful to both mother and daughter.

Zhong Qingzhu sighed in his heart, but he did not argue with his mother. Most of the time, he was silent. However, Mrs. Liu mentioned the marriage to her later. The meaning behind her words was that you are not young now. The Patriarch has found a very suitable young talent. Qingzhu, you should consider Yun Yun.

Such words touched Zhong Qingzhu’s taboo. He didn’t even think about his mother’s excuse, but he was even angrier at Zhong Liancheng from the bottom of his heart. At this point, she did not intend to stay here for long. Otherwise, Zhong Liancheng would probably run over and say some things on his own. He would be angry for nothing. Thus, after accompanying her mother for a while, she walked out of the Zhong Clan.

However, Zhong Qingzhu was in a much worse mood when she walked to the streets of Dongcheng. When she thought of her mother’s words and how grateful she was to the Zhong Clan for staying in the Zhong Clan and refusing to move out, Zhong Qingzhu felt a headache. As she walked with such thoughts, she did not know when she lifted her head and suddenly saw a large mansion in front of her. It was actually the Xu Clan’s ancestral home.

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a moment before walking over. The door-keeper of the Xu Clan greeted him. The servants of the door-keepers of the aristocratic clans had the broadest vision. They recognized this young miss of the Zhong Clan from before with a single glance. Now was the time when the limelight was in full swing. They didn’t dare to neglect her. They laughed and took her in.

After arriving in the living room, not long later, Xu Xueying ran over to see her. Zhong Qingzhu did not intend to pay respects to the Xu Clan’s adults. She was a little happy to see Xu Xueying, and then she planned to drop by to see Ling Chunnie with her.

Perhaps there was some kind of friendship after the encounter of living and dying together back then?

Or was it just a subconscious feeling, or was there some possibility of meeting someone?

He had always been very quick-witted. If he told him that he was being forced to marry by the elders of his family, perhaps he would have a way. Or, what would his mood be when he heard about it?

Zhong Qingzhu was a little stunned. However, when she came back to her senses and wanted to go to the Western Garden, she saw Xu Xueying standing there with a strange expression. She did not have any intention of taking a step forward.

“What’s the matter?” Zhong Qingzhu asked curiously.

Xu Xueying hesitated for a moment and said, “Big Sister Qingzhu, Big Sister Chunni has already left our Xu Clan this morning.”

Zhong Qingzhu was shocked and said, “She’s gone.”

Xu Xueying sighed and said, “Yes, I also advised her not to leave. It would be good if she stayed like this. However, if she insisted on leaving, there was nothing I could do.”

Zhong Qingzhu remained silent for a moment and said, “Sister Xue Ying, do you know where she is now?”

Xu Xueying shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I heard that she is leaving this place to find another place to live in the city. Oh, right.” She seemed to have thought of something and took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Zhong Qingzhu. Then she said, “This was left behind by Sister Chun Ni. She said that when Big Brother Shen comes over in the future, she will ask him to find her there.”

Zhong Qingzhu raised his eyebrows slightly and swept his gaze over the paper. He saw a line of delicate handwriting on the paper. It looked like it was written on the address of a certain house in an alley of a street in Floating Cloud City. He immediately nodded and gave it to Xu Xueying. “So that’s how it is. Keep it. You can give it to Shen Shi later when he comes over.”

As she spoke, she turned around and walked out. Xu Xueying shouted behind her and asked, “Sister Qingzhu, are you going to find Sister Chunni?”

Zhong Qingzhu’s footsteps paused for a moment, but he could not help but say, “It depends on the situation. If I am free, I might go over and take a look.”

After she finished speaking, she did not look back. The remaining Xu Xueying stood in the living room for a moment, then shook her head and put the white paper back into her arms. However, after a moment, she looked a little happier and said, “Alright, at least Brother Shen will come again next time. At that time, I will tell him to go see Sister Chunni together …”

The long street was long and the pedestrians were like weaving. Zhong Qingzhu walked through the crowd and unknowingly walked from the East City to the bustling South City. Looking at the numerous cultivators walking in the bustling streets filled with shops, she did not have the slightest bit of thought on it. For some reason, she felt that this day’s mood seemed to be somewhat depressed.

She suddenly felt like drinking.

Thinking about it, the wine she drank last time seemed to have been drunk with Ling Chunni. The taste of the wine was very unique and left a deep impression on her. However, what was the name of that wine again? It seems that I can’t remember it very well …

Zhong Qingzhu strolled forward. While recalling the name of the delicate wine in his mind, he subconsciously walked up to the address on the white paper. Perhaps, he could find her to drink some wine?

However, after seeing her, what kind of mood would he have?

Why would she want to see that woman?

Zhong Qingzhu felt that her thoughts were so entangled that even she didn’t quite understand what she was thinking. However, in the end, she put aside all thoughts and walked over.

That address was in South City, but it was still a distance away from the busiest and liveliest South Treasure Square. It should be somewhere on the edge of South City and West City. Zhong Qingzhu grew up in Floating Cloud City. He was very familiar with everything in the city, so he did not expend much effort to find the somewhat deserted street.

Standing on that street, Zhong Qingzhu naturally remembered the scene when she first saw Ling Chunni. At that time, the house Ling Chunni lived in seemed to be a very secluded place. Could it be that she also liked to be quiet by nature?

Or was it that she was planning to find a house in this quiet place? In the future, she and Shen Shi …

Zhong Qingzhu suddenly shook his head. His face turned slightly pale. His expression seemed to be a little cold. He took a deep breath silently, as if he wanted to forget the inexplicable thoughts. After a moment of silence, he continued to walk forward.

Along the way, there were very few pedestrians on the road. Very quickly, she saw the alley written on the white paper. It was indeed by the side of the road. As soon as she turned around and turned into the alley, there were a few families on both sides of the alley. Seeing that they were all mortals, the alley gradually quieted down.

The residence at the end of the alley was the address clearly written on the paper.

Zhong Qingzhu continued to walk forward. Both sides of the alley were brick walls and stones. It seemed that there was no door nearby. Zhong Qingzhu frowned slightly and felt that it was a bit strange. At the front, a corner of the alley turned. Zhong Qingzhu pondered in his heart and walked past the corner.

Then, her body suddenly stopped and froze in place.

In front of her was a stone wall that was as tall as two people. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

This alley had actually reached its end.

A gentle breeze blew past coldly.

At the end of the empty alley, Zhong Qingzhu stood there blankly, staring blankly at the stone wall. Suddenly, he felt a chill rising from his body.

On this day, Shen Shi had been busy in Floating Cloud City for half a day. He tried his best to find some spirit materials, including some medicinal pills and other items, in the shops filled with spirit materials. However, in the end, when he counted his harvests, he discovered that most of the items were still bought in the shops of the Divine Immortal Association.

The reputation of the number one Chamber of Commerce in the world was indeed worthless.

With the box of talismans given to him by his master, Old Man Pu, he was very courageous. It could be said that it directly filled his biggest weakness. After all, the use of talismans in the Five Elements Technique was of course the most powerful, but from another perspective, it was made from countless spirit crystals, and he had always been poor.

With the talisman guaranteed, all he had left was some miraculous pills. After returning to the mountain this time, he planned to look for Zhong Qinglu again. Perhaps she could refine a few more high-grade pills during the period before heading to the Four Forms Convention, but she still needed to prepare some low-grade pills.

At the same time, He still remembered Senior Sister Xu Yanzhi’s warning, Therefore, he bought three more Ruyi bags at the Divine Immortal Gathering. When he was buying the Ruyi bags to pay the bill, a strange thought suddenly flashed through Shen Shi’s mind. He thought that if he was unlucky and found nothing in Wentian Secret Realm, it would be a joke to bring so many Ruyi bags inside.

In short, after everything was tidied up, he left the city and went back to the mountains to see that it was almost dusk. Along the way, when they arrived at the shore of the sea, they saw quite a few disciples of Lingxiao Sect waiting by the coast, presumably waiting for the Sea Crossing Immortal Ark.

However, in the crowd, Shen Shi accidentally discovered Zhong Qingzhu’s figure. She stood alone outside the crowd and looked at the sea, as if she was deep in thought. Shen Shi walked over and smiled as he shouted, “Green Bamboo.”

Zhong Qingzhu’s body trembled. He turned to look at him. For some reason, Shen Shi suddenly felt that there was something strange in her eyes. He couldn’t help but ask curiously,

“Qingzhu, what’s wrong with you?”

After a moment of silence, Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, “I’m fine. I’m fine.”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “Oh, that’s good. When did you go down the mountain? Where did you go today?”

Zhong Qingzhu raised his eyebrows, and his bright eyes flickered for a moment before he raised his eyes to look at Shen Shi.
