Chapter 301: Chen Qingluans Secrets Revealed, the Mysterious Disappearance of Su Shi!
Seeing the two hugging each other, Su Shi couldn’t help but be stunned.
Instead of fighting, they were as close as good friends?
“…”
The two turned their heads and noticed Su Shi’s bewildered expression. They quickly let go of each other’s hands.
“When did you get here?” Zhan Qingchen blushed slightly.
Xin Ling lowered her head even more, too shy to look up.
After revealing her Dao Heart and being seen by Su Shi, she felt an indescribable shyness. She didn’t even know how to face him.
Su Shi smiled and said, “It seems like I interrupted you?”
Zhan Qingchen snorted, “Yes, you interrupted our practice.”
Su Shi rubbed his chin and said, “Is hugging each other considered practice? Is this a special cultivation method in Tianji Pavilion? Count me in!”
As he spoke, he opened his arms wide and said, “Come here!”
“You pervert!”
The two fled in fright.
Zhan Qingchen hid away and glared at him, her face blushing. “Stop acting foolishly. I haven’t forgiven you for what happened before.”
Su Shi shook his head and said, “Look who’s talking? Weren’t you the one eager to hug me and didn’t want to let go earlier…”
“Enough talking!” Zhan Qingchen’s face grew even redder.
When she first saw Su Shi, she couldn’t control her feelings. But now that Xin Ling was so frank, she couldn’t bring herself to get close to Su Shi in front of her.
Su Shi looked at the two of them and remarked, “Your relationship seems to be progressing quickly.”
Just a while ago at Wendao Cliff, Zhan Qingchen was still jealous, but now she and Xin Ling seemed like sisters.
Do women’s friendships develop so rapidly?
Zhan Qingchen took Xin Ling’s arm and huffed softly, “We are sisters from the same sect, so naturally, our relationship is very good.”
Su Shi became even more curious when he saw this.
Zhan Qingchen had a cold personality, not only disliking men, but also never taking the initiative to approach women. Apart from Chen Qingluan, she hardly had any other friends.
Zhan Qingchen and Xin Ling had only recently met, yet their relationship was so warm…
Su Shi asked, “Xin Ling, what kind of charm did you use on her?”
“I won’t tell you,” Xin Ling turned her head.
It was evident that the two had formed an unite for some unknown reason.
Su Shi felt both helpless and relieved at the same time.
Well, at least they were getting along well now.
Seeing how close they were, Su Shi smiled and said, “Apart from Qingluan, I guess Xin Ling is the second friend in your life, right?”
Zhan Qingchen turned her head and asked, “Why do you care?”
“Qingluan?” Xin Ling heard this and asked curiously, “Is Senior Sister and Miss Chen good friends?”
“That’s right,” Zhan Qingchen blinked. “It seems like you’re also quite familiar with Qingluan?”
Xin Ling shook her head and said, “Not really, but before Miss Chen came to Nanli, we had some interactions.”
Zhan Qingchen was taken aback. “Chen Qingluan came to Nanli? When did that happen?”
“Just before the New Year Festival. Miss Chen visited Su’s residence and stayed there for several days…”
Xin Ling paused, suddenly realizing something.
After a moment, she said cautiously, “Senior Sister, don’t tell me you didn’t know about this?”
Zhan Qingchen’s face turned icy, her silver teeth clenched tightly.
Chen Qingluan visited Su’s residence?
Nanli City was located in the Southwest Region, quite far from the Weiyang capital. Chen Qingluan deliberately came to visit during the New Year Festival. It was clear what her intentions were.
“So my guess was right, they really…” Zhan Qingchen was furious.
She usually didn’t care if he flirted with other girls, but to hook up with her best friend?
How ridiculous!
“Su Shi!”
Su Shi saw that the situation was turning bad and had already slipped towards the door.
Hearing the angry tone behind him, he forced a smile and said, “Ahem, I’ll explain everything next time. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave.”
He quickly left, not wanting to stay any longer.
As for Qingluan and Qingchen, he would deal with them at the right time.
The air grew quiet.
Zhan Qingchen looked resentful.
She wasn’t a fool; she had long noticed that Su Shi and Chen Qingluan had an unusual relationship.
But she thought it was just an early phase.
Unexpectedly, their progress was faster than hers, and they had already met each other’s parents!
This made her feel a bit anxious.
Xin Ling realized that she might be in trouble.
Her throat tightened, and she tiptoed outside the pavilion.
At that moment, Zhan Qingchen’s voice came, “Junior Sister Xin.”
“Yes?” Xin Ling’s body froze, and she turned around, forcing a reluctant smile. “What’s the matter, Senior Sister?”
Zhan Qingchen said quietly, “During the last New Year Festival, what happened at Su’s Residence and who were the guests… I’m very curious about these things. Let’s have a good chat.”
Xin Ling’s face turned bitter.
It’s over this time…
###
In the Barbarian Realm, at Green Hill Plains.
A group of people gathered in a room.
Yu Yuan furrowed his brows. “After the banquet yesterday, Su Shi escorted you back to your room. How did he suddenly disappear?”
Yu Ren’er bit her lip and whispered, “I don’t know. Before I fell asleep, I vaguely remember Brother Su Shi lying next to me, but when I woke up, he was gone.”
Yu Yuan’s frown deepened.
He had searched for hundreds of miles but found no trace of Su Shi.
Green Hill Plains was originally an important place for the Fox Clan, and the security was tight. Even if Su Shi left temporarily, it wouldn’t be so quiet.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air!
Could a powerful force have abducted him?
The ancestors should have noticed if that were the case.
Yu Ren’er’s eyes were slightly red, and she worriedly asked, “Father, do you think Su Shi is in danger?”
Yu Yuan’s expression turned solemn.
After all, they were in the Barbarian Realm. If Su Shi was really being held captive…
Not only would he not be able to bear it, but the anger of the Demon Empress and the Holy Empress would be a heavy blow that the Green Hill Plains Fox Clan couldn’t withstand.
“Spread the word to expand the search area to a radius of 5,000 miles. Leave no trace unnoticed.”
“Elder, go to Huangnyuan City and confirm if Nephew Su has returned.”
“Second Elder, take a group to the Tiger Clan and investigate if this is the doing of remnants from their clan.”
“I will go and seek the assistance of our ancestor!”
“Yes!”
The crowd responded and prepared to go their separate ways.
Yu Ren’er’s face turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes.
At that moment, the air rippled and a dark crack appeared, slowly expanding.
“Huh?”
“Who?!”
The group suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Green Hill Plains was protected by an ancient formation, yet someone had forcefully broken through the formation and appeared through the void?
In the next moment, everyone was left dumbfounded.
A figure dressed in white emerged from the void, stepping out of the crack.
Looking at the startled faces in front of him, Su Shi wondered, “So many people? Are you having… a meeting?”
The room fell into complete silence.
