Chapter 736: The Warning of A Strong Cultivator
“Duan Xiaomo!” The little boy repeated, his tone emotionless. He was still staring at Ling Chuxi without moving.
“Is that your name? You are called Duan Xiaomo, right?” Ling Chuxi was momentarily stunned, but she gently spoke to him with a smile after that.
The little boy’s eyes shone briefly, and that small face that was even prettier than a girl’s revealed a rare warmth and happiness before returning to its previous confused state. After that, he turned around and started to walk away.
“Xiaomo... His name is Xiaomo!” Duan Qingchen was the sect master of the Celestial Sect, the head of the five great sects, but he was so overjoyed over this little boy speaking that his eyes actually glistened with tears. This man was someone a lot of people looked up to, with his unattainable cultivation and position, but he had become so emotional over such a small matter. It really warmed Ling Chuxi’s heart. It was always so touching to see affection and love between family members.
“Miss Ling, you really do get along with him! If you are free, I would like to invite you to stay at my Celestial Sect for a couple of days.” Duan Qingchen seemed to have realized something and a flash of spiritual light appeared in his mind as he spoke to Ling Chuxi.
“Many thanks for your kind intentions, Senior, but this Junior still has some things to settle first,” Ling Chuxi said, a little torn. Although she really wanted to help this child, she did not have a suitable method at the moment. She really needed to go to the previous site of the Golden Pill Sect and find that divine weapon that Su Yizhi was talking about. Ling Chuxi had a feeling that the divine sword was a part of the Cang Yuan Sword.
“Then I shall not force you,” Duan Qingchen said easily. After all, he was still the master of a sect and should have the magnanimity of a sect master.
“In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely come and visit Senior,” Ling Chuxi said, her tone sincere. If she managed to obtain the divine sword at the previous site of the Golden Pill Sect, and if she got the chance to, she indeed wanted to meet Duan Xiaomo again.
“Then, we shall meet again.” Duan Qingchen glanced at Duan Xiaomo who had already walked quite far and quickly went to catch up with him after bidding Ling Chuxi farewell. When he was walking normally like this, he looked like any other old man.
As he was catching up to Duan Xiaomo, Duan Qingchen paused and turned to look at a dark shadowy corner in the distance. After a few seconds, he turned back and held Duan Xiaomo’s hand as they continued to walk forward.
With that one glance, Qing Lingyan and the woman who were hidden in the shadows felt as if their bodies had fallen into a pit of ice, a chilling intent drilling deep into their bones. Under that gaze, they felt suffocated, like they couldn’t breathe.
When Duan Qingchen’s figure finally disappeared, the two of them recovered, breathing heavily. It was as if they had just experienced a brush with death; their entire bodies were drenched in sweat, and they collapsed to the ground weakly. Even the Blood-eyed Bone Wolf was curled up in terror, not even daring to open its eyes.
“Who is he?” The woman asked, her face pale.
“The Sect Master of the Celestial Sect, Duan Qingchen,” Qing Lingyan answered in a trembling voice.
After she finished speaking, the two of them were silent for a long time. It took them a while to calm down. Qing Lingyan never would have thought that Duan Qingchen would appear here, and it seemed like he knew Ling Chuxi.
It was a good thing that monster beasts were very sensitive towards danger. If the two of them had provoked Duan Qingchen into anger with their recklessness, a flick of a finger was sufficient to turn them both into ashes.
Thinking about that glance from Duan Qingchen, the both of them felt terrified, but also very lucky. It was obviously a warning to them.
