Chapter 28: Showing off and running away, so exciting!
Yaoyue was furious. Since her debut, had anyone in the world ever dared to be so disrespectful to her? Who dared to threaten her like this?
but……
Only this, only the true identity of Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque, is something that must never be revealed.
She had been planning for over a decade, waiting for that day. You could say her life depended on this. If this secret were to become known to the whole world...
She really didn't know what to do.
Li Ping smiled and said, "I am but a nobody, and my words carry little weight, but there are some things I just have to say."
"The Palace Master possesses the most beautiful appearance in the world, the most talented talent in the world, and cultivates the most powerful divine skills in the world..."
"You should have the world's finest pursuits and the greatest achievements, yet you spent the rest of your life trapped in the shadow of a man, unable to extricate yourself. How ridiculous is that?"
"Heaven sent you from a hundred years ago to the present, surely not wanting you to have fallen to this state..."
Li Ping's words certainly make sense, but the weight of reason matters.
You have no weight; no matter how reasonable your words may be, they're just a load of nonsense...
So Yaoyue didn't hear a single word he said; she stared intently at Li Ping: "If you dare..."
Li Ping laughed and said, "Of course it's a matter of losing my head. I know the Palace Master's methods, so I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
"Rong'er, Xiaoying, let's go."
"Palace Master, I wish you can break free from this cage in the future, like a fish entering the sea or a bird soaring into the blue sky, and attain great freedom and ease."
He led Huang Rong and Su Ying past Yao Yue at a leisurely pace, even singing a song: "The mortal world is so laughable, infatuation is the most pointless, it's good to be arrogant..."
"My life is not yet over, yet my heart is undisturbed; I only wish for half a lifetime of carefree existence..."
"Smiling at people when awake, but forgetting everything in dreams, lamenting that night falls too early..."
"The next life is uncertain, love and hate are wiped away with a stroke of the pen, let's drink and sing, I just want to be happy until I grow old..."
Yaoyue stood there, listening to Li Ping's singing, lost in thought.
The three of them descended the mountain, but instead of returning to the city, they ran for hundreds of miles in the heavy rain until it finally stopped.
Beside a grove of trees, Li Ping wiped the rain from his hair and said calmly, "Palace Master, is it really necessary for you to keep following us?"
"I said I wouldn't tell anyone, and I definitely won't."
Su Ying and Huang Rong's hearts skipped a beat. She had actually been following us all along?
After a while, a crow flew up from the woods, and there was no other sound.
Li Ping finally patted his chest, indicating that he hadn't followed them.
That scared the hell out of me!
He only has one last chance to rewind time today. If Yaoyue is determined to kill him, he will surely die.
As for why they ran away...
This matter can only fool Yaoyue for a while, not forever.
Because soon Yaoyue will understand what it means for some things to no longer be secrets a hundred years from now.
It's important to know that Chu Liuxiang also came to this world. Chu Liuxiang was the disciple of the Night Emperor, and his time was not far removed from that of the Peerless Twins.
He must know about Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque's background, and Lu Xiaofeng and others who came after Chu Liuxiang probably know as well. What if they reveal this information one day?
No one knew what kind of madness Yaoyue might go through at that time. If she came to kill him again, he wouldn't be able to fool her anymore...
So we still need to get stronger; we're far from being strong enough yet!
Then he said to Su Ying and Huang Rong, "This time it was my foul mouth that caused trouble, it has nothing to do with you."
"or……"
Su Ying shook her head and said, "You say that because of Wei Wuya. Wei Wuya's coming to cause you trouble is also largely related to me."
"You have taught me the profound principles of the universe and helped me escape Wei Wuyah. Now you're telling me to leave? How much do you despise me?"
Huang Rong also said, "You've helped me so much, but you chased me away when there was danger. Do you really think I'm a shameless scoundrel who can only share peace and stability, but not hardship?"
"Besides, someone as important as the Palace Master of Yihua Palace wouldn't bully us juniors."
"By the way, what big secret does the Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace hold?"
Li Ping saw the glint in Huang Rong's eyes and immediately understood her intention.
Since he didn't know, he assumed that Yaoyue was still following behind, so he gave himself a starting point to dispel the doubts of the Palace Master of Yihua Palace.
Li Ping shook his head and said, "Of course I can't say that. I'm a man of my word, and I always keep my promises."
Su Ying's eyes darted around: "But are we just going to leave Fuzhou like this? What if the Palace Master of Yihua Palace attacks your friends in Fuzhou?"
Li Ping said solemnly, "Who is the Palace Master of Yihua Palace? My friends are just ordinary bodyguards with low martial arts skills and shallow knowledge. With the status of the Palace Master of Yihua Palace, she certainly won't bother with them."
"I just happen to know that something big is happening in Hengshan recently. Let's take this opportunity to go and check it out; maybe we'll find Rong'er's father!"
"After that, we went to Wudang. Wudang was holding a martial arts conference at that time, and I felt that they might know about your sudden appearance from the sky, and might want to make it public..."
"We'll go check it out then!"
This speculation stems from Li Ping's knowledge that Wudang had never done this in the original timeline, and the current commotion is likely related to the sudden appearance of an "extraordinary person."
Perhaps they even know things that we don't.
Seeing that Li Ping was also thinking of helping her find her father even at this time, Huang Rong felt a warmth in her heart and said, "By the way, the little tune you sang earlier was very interesting. Although the rhythm was a bit strange, the lyrics were very charming..."
Li Ping laughed and said, "I have many more songs like this. I'll play another one for you."
"A hearty laugh echoes across the vast ocean, the tides surge on both shores. Drifting with the waves, I remember only today. Heaven laughs, the world's tides rise and fall, only Heaven knows who wins and who loses..."
After Li Ping and the other two left, two people appeared from behind the woods; they were Yaoyue and Xiaoyuer.
Despite the torrential rain, Yaoyue, with Xiaoyuer tucked under her arm, followed Li Ping and the other two without them noticing at all.
Even more surprisingly, both of their clothes and hair were dry.
Inviting the Moon's cultivation level is truly terrifying.
Li Ping's bluff was useless; she didn't believe Li Ping could detect her tracking!
Li Ping doesn't have that ability, you know that?
She snorted coldly: "This man is quite the smooth talker, good at deceiving young girls, but he seems to be a man of his word."
Little Fish chuckled, "What secret do Hua Wuque and I hold? Would you go to such lengths to keep it? Now that someone knows, it shouldn't hurt to tell me, right?"
Yaoyue said, "After you decide to fight to the death, I will naturally tell this secret to the one who is still alive. If you want to know, then kill Wuque."
"The most important thing now is to find Wuque..."
"Li Ping said something big is happening at Hengshan, and Wuque and Lianxing might be going there too!"
"I've also heard that Wudang is going to hold a martial arts conference. This is very rare for Wudang. Wuque and Lianxing may also go."
"If we can't find Wuque in Hengshan, let's go check out Wudang!"
……
A day later, Lin Zhennan received a letter from Li Ping.
In the letter, he asked Lin Zhennan to help him find a man named Wan Chunliu and tell him that he had a miraculous medicine that could restore flesh and bone and revive the dead...
Based on the information Li Ping obtained from Su Ying, he deduced that by the time she arrived in this era, Wan Chunliu and Yan Nantian had likely already escaped from the Valley of Villains, and Yan Nantian's Wedding Dress Divine Skill might have been fully mastered.
They might very well come to this era!
Inviting the moon is a problem that Li Ping is currently powerless to solve, and he always feels like he has a thorn in his side, making him restless and uneasy.
If I can find Yan Nantian and tell him about Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque's background, Yan Nantian will definitely be willing to protect me.
This isn't cowardice; one should always be fully prepared before taking any action!
As Li Ping was thinking this, Mount Heng was already in sight...
