Chapter 110: The Red Dust Changes Again

  Still Jianxuan Xiaoge.

  Fragrant flowers bloom everywhere, and the green grass is lush. Although it's already deep winter outside, where the world is frozen, inside Luoyun Sect, it's still like spring all year round.

  The so-called fairyland in the secular world is probably just like this! It's just that in the eyes of a cultivator, this can be achieved with just a few simple arrays!

  "Both of you Taoist friends, please come in! My master is already waiting inside!"

  Zhou Yan led the way in front, respectfully saying to the two monks. The two monks, one male and one female, the man was extremely robust, with a majestic physique, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, the woman was delicate as a flower, with a fragrance like orchids, it was Shi Tian and Shi Tong, the two siblings!

  But at this moment, both of them felt a little uneasy in their hearts!

  "It's been over three years since we last met, I don't know how Wang Chen is doing now, and whether he is still as easy to get along with as before!"

  The relationship between the two masters has changed with their cultivation, and after joining the Wan Shou Sect, they have experienced more hardships and have come to realize the importance of cultivation even more! Even some views have changed unknowingly!

  It's not that they've become unfeeling, it's just that the entire cultivation world is like this!

  The soft footsteps approached, Wang Chen turned his head, and the two figures finally appeared. Shi Tian was still fine, not much different from before, Wang Chen recognized him at a glance! Shi Tong was different, the shyness on her face had faded away, and even her outfit had changed!

  Red clothes, light makeup, elegant and refined, giving people a sense of national beauty and charming fragrance!

  If it were three years ago, Shi Tong was a delicate and lovely orchid, shy and demure. Now she has become a beautiful and gorgeous peony, elegant and charming!

  "Indeed, a girl changes completely when she turns eighteen!"

  King Chen comforted himself in his heart, but he never noticed that a faint sense of loss had risen from the bottom of his heart!

  A hint of disappointment in his heart, Wang Chen rarely did not show it, still smiling and welcoming the two to sit down.

  A swordsman values words and actions that follow one's heart, but this time he couldn't help but keep his true thoughts hidden in his heart.

  Sitting around the stone table, Zhou Yan retreated back, and the three people's conversation gradually increased. However, Wang Chen clearly felt a faint sense of unfamiliarity between the three of them.

  "It's been years since we last met!"

  Wang Chen made explanations in his heart and talked to the two about their experiences over the past few years, from entering the Luo Yun Sect after the Beast Tide, to spending more than a year organizing jade slips, learning many things, then going to Fuyu City, and then having his first battle to build his foundation, escaping with his life, and then meeting Feng Wuji, refining his sword intent. Wang Chen didn't hide anything at all.

  The conversation started and Shi Tian's siblings also relaxed a bit, but Shi Tong's next performance made Wang Chen slightly unhappy.

  "Brother Chen, I heard you're really powerful now! Even those in the Foundation Building stage aren't a match for you, is that right?!"

  Wang Chen rarely smiled awkwardly and nodded.

  "Wow, that's amazing! Does Brother Chen have anything to give me? My brother and I have already reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage, next we'll be considering building our foundation. If Brother Chen has any items that can help with building our foundation that he doesn't need, can he sell them to us?"

  Shi Tong had an envious look on his face, then said this:

  Wang Chen forced a smile, his heart dimming for a moment, but still replied: "I don't have any Foundation Establishment Pills, but I did prepare a gift for Shi Tong!"

  King Chen took out a hairpin from his storage bag, a red and blue hairpin that emitted an ancient luster, exceptionally beautiful, especially the carved fire phoenix on it was extremely vivid, as if it would spit out flames the next moment!

  Shi Tong received the hairpin, looked at it with a happy face, but after a moment, he became disinterested. However, in the blink of an eye, he was very excited again and praised the beauty of the hairpin, looking like he really liked it!

  But this momentary change did not escape Wang Chen's eyes, and in an instant, Wang Chen felt that Shi Tong's impression in his heart collapsed!

  "Was it that you found the spiritual energy of the Qi Refining stage couldn't move the hairpin, and thought the hairpin was useless? And then afterwards, why did you pretend to be happy, was it because you wanted to get on good terms with me and borrow a genius's identity to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

  Wang Chen's heart was filled with an unspeakable chill, but he didn't want to show it on his face, so he put on a very happy expression. He felt as if his heart had been torn apart, and he was both clear-headed and in great pain, yet there was nothing he could do about it!

  The two of them, Shi Tian and Shi Tong, didn't stay for much longer. Disappointed, Wang Chen couldn't keep up the act any longer and soon looked like he wanted to sleep. Seeing this, the two bid farewell and left. Wang Chen didn't try to stop them, only asking Zhou Yan to see them off.

  Standing beside the Jianxuan pavilion, Wang Chen stared at the yellow flowers in a daze, his eyes dull and dim, after a long time, he finally spat out a mouthful of blood!

  "Cough! Cough!"

  Zhou Yan, who was standing beside him at some unknown time, hurried over and said, "Master, what's wrong? Do you want to find Elder Tai Shang to take a look? Is it serious?"

  Wang Chen waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, but a faint, miserable smile appeared on his face.

  "Flowers don't last a hundred days, let alone humans. It seems that not only the mortal world is tainted with worldly desires, but even the immortal realm has its own worldly dust!"

  One finger extended, a sword light appeared, and then with Wang Chen's intention, several sword shadows flashed out. These sword shadows seemed real and illusory, unable to distinguish between true and false, as if each sword was both slow and swift at the same time!

  Sword move, red dust!

  The sword move at this moment is even more mysterious and unpredictable than after experiencing the cycle in the place of inheritance. In the red dust, it seems like a dream, and this sword move has a hint of detachment!

  A move of red dust, the sword shadow repeated back and forth, after one move, it was half a pillar of incense's work, Zhou Yan behind him had already stared with his mouth agape!

  "What a sword move, Master is so formidable! Even the elite disciples in the sect have extraordinary sword skills, and it's hard to measure the gap with Master!"

  He withdrew his right hand, and Wang Chen's expression became even more indifferent, with a kind of carefree and world-weary air that was even more pronounced than before!

  Only by entering it can one come out of its inside! Wang Chen's understanding of the red dust has finally taken another step forward.

  Before leaving, Wang Chen turned around and said: "Zhou Yan, if one day I lose all my cultivation, will you still recognize me as your master?

  Zhou Yan was taken aback for a moment, then replied without hesitation: "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a teacher, in this life Zhou Yan is your disciple!"

  Wang Chen's mouth curled up slightly as he smiled, and from the sword intent, Wang Chen felt Zhou Yan's sincerity, which was completely different from Shi Tong's hypocrisy. It was a very comfortable feeling!

  "Xiu Jian, indeed one of the most miserable people in the world!"

  Wang Chen muttered to himself, and then his figure flashed, disappearing quickly from sight.

  Zhou Yan was left standing there, somewhat puzzled, with a parting remark still echoing in his ear, "If those two come again later, just tell them that the master is busy and have them leave!"

  "What's going on?"

  Zhou didn't quite understand what was going on in his heart, but Shi Tian and the two of them knew roughly about their relationship with Shifu. After all, it was he who had passed on the transmission of Wang Chen's fight before. It shouldn't have turned out like this!

  Shaking his head, Zhou Yan quickly attributed the mistake to Shi Tian and the others. When Shi Tian came again the next day, Zhou Yan spoke out Wang Chen's original words!

  Shi Tong and the two of them left in a huff, and soon after, rumors that Wang Chen had made great progress in his strength and was ignoring his friends began to spread among those with ulterior motives.

  Heartless and unscrupulous also became one of Wang Chen's labels, as famous as his genius. Wang Chen also heard Zhou Yan say this, but he just sneered and didn't care at all!

  Regarding Wang Chen's temperament, many lower-level cultivators often discuss it, but higher-level cultivators only hear about it briefly and then don't bother to investigate the truth of the matter. After all, their goal is to improve their cultivation, and other things that are not related to their own interests, no one will be idle enough to ask around!
