Chapter 714: A Beautiful Assist
Tang Rao looked at Ju Cangfeng with a sidelong glance; naturally, he had noticed Ju Cangfeng's expression.
Of course, at this moment, Tang Rao couldn't say to Ju Cangfeng, "Come on, come at me if you dare, I'll take you down in minutes for the first kill."
Liu Mingyue obviously valued herself very much.
If Ju Cangfeng did anything to her, Liu Mingyue would definitely not stand by.
"Xiao Yun, of course we're friends, but I don't seem to be very familiar with your sister. Plus, I don't even know what she wants from me; if she intends any harm, wouldn't that be dangerous for me!" Tang Rao looked at Liu Mingyue and said.
"Mr. Tang Rao, I have no ill intentions towards you, you must believe me. I just, just want to ask you something..." Liu Mingyue said.
"What if I say I don't want to tell you anything? What then? Are you still going to forcibly take me away?" Tang Rao asked.
"I will wait, wait until you agree," Liu Mingyue said earnestly.
"I really didn't expect that answer." Tang Rao grinned; other things aside, Liu Mingyue's response did leave a good impression.
At least, she knew how to respect others.
"Tang Rao, my sister just wants to ask you something; she's been waiting for many years. If we're friends, then help out, how big a deal could it be!" Xiao Yun was a bit annoyed; Tang Rao was hemming and hawing, like an old lady.
"Pavilion Master, you can't force these things. Since this young man doesn't want to go with you, you shouldn't press the matter any further," Ju Cangfeng said with a smile.
"What the hell does this have to do with you? Can you shut up?" Xiao Yun pointed at Ju Cangfeng, finding this idiot intolerable. If it weren't for fear of upsetting her sister, she would have gone up and beaten him by now; what a joke.
"Xiao Yun, don't get angry, I'm just speaking truthfully," Ju Cangfeng laughed, then looked at Tang Rao, "Young friend Tang Rao, how about I buy you a drink? Don't worry, as long as you don't want to go, I definitely won't let anyone take you out of the Jade Fragrance Pavilion."
Tang Rao looked at Ju Cangfeng.
Ju Cangfeng was smiling; it's a fortuitous encounter to find right when I needed it, having just been discussing Tang Rao and then bumping into him.
First gain his favor, then work him over!
"Who are you?" Tang Rao asked.
"I'm Ju Cangfeng, the owner of the Jade Fragrance Pavilion, and also the Vice President of the Dark Moon Association," Ju Cangfeng said.
"So you're President Ju, I've long heard of you," Tang Rao nodded in quick succession, appearing very pleased.
Ju Cangfeng saw Tang Rao's expression and couldn't help scoffing inwardly, 'What trash, I'll have to abuse you properly later!'
"You're too modest, friend Tang Rao; I too feel that we're fated," Ju Cangfeng said with a smile.
"Fated is great, I also feel that we're fated," Tang Rao chuckled.
Xiao Yun frowned; what is Tang Rao playing at? I thought he seemed alright, but now he's cozying up to Ju Cangfeng— I really misjudged him.
"By the way, President Ju, why are you just the Vice President of the Dark Moon Association? Why not the President?" Tang Rao suddenly asked with narrowed eyes.
Ju Cangfeng was taken aback for a moment, then his complexion soured somewhat.
"Friend Tang Rao, you don't need to worry about this; it has nothing to do with you," Ju Cangfeng tried his best to control his anger.
"Oh, is that so." Tang Rao nodded, "Then my talking with Xiao Yun and the others has half a damn thing to do with you; what the fuck are you blabbering about? Whether I take a dump sitting or squatting, do you need to ask about that too? Insane!"
With that, Tang Rao even gave Ju Cangfeng a couple of middle fingers.
Everyone was stunned, then the whole place erupted.
Especially Xiao Yun, who was so amused she could hardly contain herself.
Just as I thought, I wouldn't misjudge Tang Rao—heh heh, I give this counter-troll performance a hundred points!
"Tang Rao, you're truly a friend to Xiao Yun, so spirited!" Xiao Yun shouted loudly.
Tang Rao nodded and ignored Ju Cangfeng, whose face was as dark as pitch, and turned directly to Liu Mingyue.
"Pavilion Master, actually, it's fine for me to go with you, but I have one condition," Tang Rao said with a smile.
"Go ahead," Liu Mingyue nodded.
"Just cripple him, and killing him is okay too." Tang Rao extended his hand, pointing at Ju Cangfeng.
Ju Cangfeng's expression froze. What's happening?
The other onlookers were also incredulous. They hadn't detected much hatred, so why suddenly resort to murder?
"Xiao Yun, do it," Liu Mingyue commanded without any hesitation.
"Sister, if only you could always be like this. Hehe, that idiot Ju Cangfeng, I've long found him unpleasant." Xiao Yun grinned, then her figure vanished from everyone's sight.
Pfft!
When Xiao Yun reappeared, accompanied by a thumping sound, her hand had already pierced Ju Cangfeng's chest.
In just an instant, the organs within Ju Cangfeng's body, along with his Divine Sense, were utterly destroyed, Xiao Yun showed no mercy.
Everyone was shocked; Ju Cangfeng was a third tier Luo Immortal, and he… he just died?
And against Xiao Yun, Ju Cangfeng didn't even manage to make a single move. What strength does Xiao Yun possess?
Such an absolute overpowering suggested at least a difference of two or three minor Realms. Could Xiao Yun be a fifth or even sixth tier Luo Immortal? My god, how old is she!
Truly terrifying.
"First blood secured," Tang Rao said without any surprise, everything was under his control.
Xiao Yun's strength was far beyond that of a third tier Luo Immortal, hence, Ju Cangfeng was doomed.
"Let's go," Tang Rao glanced at the lifeless Ju Cangfeng, then moved towards Xiao Yun.
The Great Elder and another person had already left the private room. If they hadn't, perhaps it would have been possible to score a triple kill right there...
...
Tang Rao returned to the Fengyun Pavilion's backyard with Xiao Yun and Liu Mingyue.
In the yard, the peach trees remained, with peach blossoms blooming resplendently.
Tang Rao and Liu Mingyue sat opposite each other, with Xiao Yun standing to the side, looking back and forth between Tang Rao and Liu Mingyue, turning her head now and then.
"Pavilion Master, why don't you introduce yourself?" Tang Rao initiated.
"My name is Liu Mingyue."
"Nice name," Tang Rao nodded, "But why have you sought me out? What exactly do you want to ask?"
Liu Mingyue looked towards the peach tree, then back at Tang Rao: "You should know, so why ask? Tell me..."
"Ah..." After a long while, Tang Rao suddenly sighed, "Why bother? Sometimes it's better to forget certain things; letting go is the only way to be free."
Liu Mingyue did not speak, her gaze resolute.
"In future years, if I become the Green Emperor, I shall return to bloom alongside the peach blossoms," Tang Rao murmured, gazing at Liu Mingyue.
In the next moment, Liu Mingyue's eyes moistened, her beautiful eyes becoming even more touching, heartbreakingly beautiful.
Tang Rao remained silent, waiting quietly.
It was only after half an hour that the mist in Liu Mingyue's eyes began to dissipate.
"It's been so many years; there must have been many changes there, right?" Liu Mingyue asked Tang Rao softly.
"The passage of time marks the change of seasons; places are not what they once were. You've been away from Blue Star for many years, right? The changes there have probably far exceeded your imagination," Tang Rao remarked solemnly, the only thing he could be certain of was that when Liu Mingyue was last on Blue Star, it was precisely in the Yan country during feudal times.
