Chapter 43 - Drunk

“Good.” Xue Chengxuan said. “Fentian City is the closest to the Western Realm. From here, it will take around seven days to reach Xingluo City. We stopped here to visit some friends and will depart in three days. Does fellow Daoist Meng perhaps have another plan?”

Xue Chengxuan’s attitude was gentle and warm, but Murong Fei and Wen He who was looking from the side were surprised. Among the younger generation of Feng Alliance, Xue Chengxuan was the most talented and capable. It was a known fact that the elders had high hopes for him, and he was the most promising candidate to become the future leader of Feng Alliance.

Murong Fei, Wen He, and Xue Chengxuan had a good relationship. Growing up together, they knew that even though Xue Chengxuan always treated others gently, he still didn’t have a Dao companion. Xue Chengxuan was polite to female cultivators but equally so to everyone. Although he looked warm and affable, he has never been too close to any particular person.

Wen He had a younger sister at home. His clan has long wanted a Wen daughter to be Xue Chengxuan’s Dao companion. This way, the Xue and Wen would be tied by marriage. In the future, they would support each other, which would benefit both clans.

When the elders of two clans brought forth this matter, Xue Chengxuan simply dealt with a smile. Towards Wen He’s younger sister, he treated her politely and gently, but without getting too close nor too estranged, no different than before. No one could pick up faults, but they clearly saw that Xue Chengxuan didn’t have unnecessary thoughts towards the girl.

It was Wen He and Murong Fei’s first time to see Xue Chengxuan taking the initiative towards a female cultivator. 　They glanced at each other, and couldn’t help looking at Meng Qi again. This Foundation Establishment girl looked pretty good. However, Qingfeng Valley…They remembered Su Junmo’s introduction just now and tried hard to recall, but failed to recognize any medical sect with this name.

Qingfeng Valley was too small. The successive sect leaders were just Golden Core cultivators. Moreover, it was located on the Eastern Realm’s east border, far away from the Western Realm. It was no wonder that Murong Fei and Wen He, two high ranking disciples of the Western Realm’s great sects, never heard about such a small and unknown sect.

They looked at Xue Chengxuan in confusion. This was a talented young man who was valued by Feng Alliance’s elders. Countless young female cultivators in the Western Realm couldn’t move him in the slightest, was it possible that he fell in love at first sight with a Foundation Establishment girl?

Xue Chengxuan ignored his two friends’ reaction, and patiently waited for Meng Qi’s reply.

“Hmm….” Meng Qi carefully considered her plan. She came to Fentian City only for the jade cicada vine on the cliff outside this city. Moreover…

She watched with satisfaction how Su Junmo remained quiet since Xue Chengxuan appeared.

Anyway, she definitely wanted to go to Xingluo City. If she accepted this invitation, she could talk with Feng Alliance’s medical cultivators along the way, which absolutely would be better than having the noisy fox blabbering nonstop about Demon Realm’s gossips.

After thinking for a while, Meng Qi ignored Su Junmo’s desperate eye signal and nodded: “Many thanks for fellow Daoist Xue. Should we meet at the city gate in three days?”

“Good.” Xue Chengxuan smiled softly. “By the way, what is fellow Daoist Meng’s business coming to Fentian City? Maybe I can help a bit. Although my visits to Fentian City aren’t many, I still have some friends here who can help.”

“Many thanks for fellow Daoist Xue.” Meng Qi smiled back, “I can handle it myself.”

Although Meng Qi’s expression was as calm as usual, she began to be dizzy. Looking at Xue Chengxuan, she felt that the man had split into two.
