Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 288
Chapter 0288 Linfeng Manor!
That year, it snowed heavily, covering the earth. In the cold wind, she was still as usual, waiting at the door, but what she was waiting for was a result even colder than the cold.
The man had finally returned, but he had become a can of ashes. After twenty years of waiting, the woman had lost everything she had waited for.
She buried her lover’s ashes, and then people saw her standing in front of the man’s tomb day and night. Her tears dried up, and her cries stopped. People found that she had lost her breath, and the heavy snow froze her, standing in front of the tomb, turning her into a tea tree.
Everyone suddenly remembered that the favorite thing in front of the man was tea.
When the camellia bloomed, the fragrance of tea floated between heaven and earth. It bloomed in the cold winter and competed with wintersweet. It had a more beautiful brilliance than a hundred flowers.
People called it Snow Tea. It had existed for a thousand years, and it was still guarding the tomb.
Thinking of that miserable and beautiful legend, Qin Fei was extremely respectful, his expression extremely solemn.
“Try it! It’s unique in this world, we brothers share it!” Zhu Li slightly shook his teacup and handed it to Qin Fei.
An attractive fragrance drifted into his nose, reaching his internal organs, and his body and mind gradually calmed down.
Qin Fei solemnly took the cup, narrowed his eyes and lightly sniffed, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
“Good tea!”
He praised sincerely.
“It’s good tea! Tea is hot. Brother Fei, do you think I’m right?” Zhu Li suddenly looked at him with that gaze, his eyes filled with a deep gaze.
Facing his gaze, Qin Fei’s heart suddenly jumped. It came again, and yesterday’s gaze appeared again.
What exactly was his intention?
“Brother Li, you’re right. I’ll toast you while the tea is hot!” Qin Fei smiled faintly. No matter what Zhu Li was thinking, he was going to leave now. Perhaps this was the last time he tasted tea, and he would never have the chance to sit together again in the future.
“En!” Zhu Li retracted his gaze and a trace of regret appeared in his eyes, but Qin Fei did not notice it.
The fragrance of the tea instantly dissipated, and a warm feeling instantly reached his entire body. His entire body suddenly became comfortable and relaxed, as if he had become an immortal.
“Brother Fei! Remember, we are brothers. No matter how things develop, brotherhood is far more precious than anything else!”
Zhu Li’s tone was extremely low, as if he was recounting an important matter related to national affairs.
Qin Fei was getting more and more restless. Zhu Li’s performance today made him feel inappropriate, but the words he said were filled with affection.
He didn’t understand what Zhu Li was trying to say. Logically speaking, if he really noticed what he was hiding from him, he should be furious. However, he treated him the same as before, and he was very affectionate.
Did he do something wrong? Was Zhu Li sincerely treating him?
“Haha, look at me, sometimes just like to say some emotional nonsense! Brother Fei, I called you here today to tell you something important. The trip to the grasslands has been confirmed. I will send a thousand elites into the grasslands. These people will be the elites among the elites and experts. Although it will be very difficult to deal with the Longevity Sect, as long as Khan is willing to assist with all his strength, this matter will not be difficult! ” Zhu Li suddenly smiled and quickly said the purpose of calling Qin Fei.
“I wish Brother Li victory!” Qin Fei said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Qin Fei stood up and said goodbye.
Zhu Li stood up and escorted him to the door. Suddenly, he patted his shoulder and said, “Brother Fei, if I do something wrong in the future, please don’t blame me!”
Qin Fei was shocked as he stared at the solemn Zhu Li. A doubt flashed through his heart, and his worries grew even more intense.
After Qin Fei left, Zhu Li’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter as he returned to the Emperor’s couch and sat down, his face full of exhaustion.
“Is it really him?” He suddenly raised his face and said with a worried expression.
“Your Majesty!”
The black figure appeared in front of him out of thin air. The space was suddenly divided into countless layers. His entire figure seemed to be in the horizon, but it was right in front of his eyes.
“I’m sure! His intentions are not good for the empire! Can we take action to eradicate him now?” The black silhouette said coldly, a cold murderous aura emanating from his deep eyes.
Zhu Li sighed, his expression filled with exhaustion as if he was struggling intensely in his heart. “No need! He is still a relative of Lone. He can’t make a move before the final step! I only hope that he can rein in his horses from the precipice and know how to advance and retreat. Continue to spy on him. Don’t miss out on every move …”
“Your Majesty, this subordinate does not know why His Majesty is so enthusiastic towards the people he is tracking. This is inappropriate for an emperor!” A hint of coldness flashed through the black shadow’s eyes.
“There’s no need to ask anything else. Gu Ziyi has a deep meaning! Go!” Zhu Li’s gaze suddenly became sharp as he stared coldly at the black figure. It was like two sharp arrows that blossomed with a dense chill in the air as they pounced straight at the black figure.
The black shadow’s body trembled, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes. He knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly bowed and apologized, “Your Majesty, please calm down! Your subordinate knows your mistake!”
“No one dares to speculate on this lone decision, including you! Go, just do your job!” Zhu Li withdrew his gaze and his expression returned to normal, his voice cold and indifferent.
The black figure nodded and silently disappeared …
In the green courtyard, the spring breeze happily swept past the treetops, startling a wisp of green branches and leaves. In an instant, it flew far away, flying across the surface of the pond. A layer of ripples rose up, and the fish leaped lightly, leisurely playing in the water, not knowing what was sad about.
Qin Fei stood by the side of the pond and looked down at the fish swimming in the water. After a long time, he sighed.
He didn’t know what Zhu Li had sensed, but he really didn’t betray his brothers. There were many times when he made decisions just to protect himself.
He had no choice but to consider some things for himself. Perhaps Zhu Li had discovered something, so he was hinting at the two encounters.
However, there were some things that he couldn’t let go of even if he died. Once he said it out loud, it would probably be an irreconcilable situation. This was not something he was willing to face. He believed that Zhu Li also had the same considerations in mind, so he didn’t explain it.
Everything will be witnessed by time. I do not disappoint people, and I hope that people will not disappoint me. If people disappoint me, the path will be chosen again. Although they are unwilling to bear it, there are some things that they can only face honestly when they are unable to get rid of.
“Young Master, everything is ready!” Demon King silently appeared behind him, his eyes filled with concern. These two days, he always felt that Qin Fei had something on his mind. He was worried. It seemed that something troublesome had happened to him.
“En, let’s go! Let’s go back quickly!” Qin Fei nodded. When he turned around, the worry in his eyes had disappeared. He looked at Demon King with a faint smile on his face.
The two of them left the imperial capital and headed west.
Linfeng Prefecture was one of the eighteen prefecture cities. It was located to the west, a thousand miles away from the imperial capital.
In the most prosperous Dongcheng District of the Prefecture City, there was a huge manor that stretched for tens of acres. No one in the Prefecture City didn’t know about this manor, and no one was disrespectful!
There was a golden plaque hanging on the luxurious door, which read: “The abbot’s mansion.”
The abbot, seeing the name and meaning, is an honorable title in the empire. The owner of this place is His Majesty the Emperor’s father-in-law, the father of the empress of the current dynasty.
No one in the Linfeng Manor disrespected him. Even if the court officials passed by the city, they had to come in to pay their respects.
The abbot’s mansion was built in a luxurious manner, with layers upon layers of eaves that looked boundless, and luxurious houses and pavilions that were as magnificent as palaces.
In the second month of the 1000th year of the Profound Spirit Calendar, the earth revived in early spring. Everything in the world awoke from the cold of winter, giving off boundless vitality.
Outside the abbot’s mansion, In the cold spring breeze, Two figures walked over. His pace was slow, It was like walking, The person on the left was about twenty years old. His skin was fair, and his face was slightly thin. His eyes were very eye-catching. His eyes were bright and deep, as if he could speak. His eyes were bright and lively. He wore a clean white robe. He was spotless. He walked calmly and forcefully. He stood upright like a tall tree that stood proudly between heaven and earth.
On his right, there was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. He was about forty years old, and his face was full of smiles. His eyes carried an indifferent expression, as if he didn’t care about anything.
His expression was very respectful to the young man beside him, and his body was slightly half a step behind the young man, not parallel to him.
“Stop!” When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the abbot’s mansion, eight guards stood at the entrance and looked at them arrogantly and indifferently.
