Chapter 1706: Chapter 766: A New Path

Swordsmen, in general, like to be straightforward and simple.

Luo Jianqing is no exception.

No complicated words, no unnecessary nonsense.

He came, helped.

Now, he has received his reward, and it’s time for him to leave.

"Lord Luo, but the curse on you..."

Yan Wenxi said with some concern.

She escaped together with Fang Yu and the others, so she naturally saw everything Luo Jianqing went through at that time.

Moreover, her knowledge and experience are broader than others, so she could barely guess what happened to Luo Jianqing.

But before she could continue speaking, Luo Jianqing raised his hand to stop her.

"There’s no need for you to worry about this, I will handle it myself."

This reaction was not what Yan Wenxi expected.

But to be honest, if she were really to help, she would be a bit helpless too, only able to think of ways to help Luo Jianqing through her connections.

However, Luo Jianqing clearly had no intention of staying here any longer.

People with matters at heart cannot hide or stay put.

So after thinking for a while, Yan Wenxi nodded heavily and said.

"...Alright, if Lord Luo needs help in the future, you can always come to Sui Chong Pass to find me. This favor, I, Yan Wenxi, will remember in my heart forever!"

Perhaps it was because she returned to a familiar place, or because she regained authority, standing again in the position of a superior.

Yan Wenxi’s tone and demeanor had changed somewhat, becoming more graceful and magnanimous, giving people a comfortable feeling in her words and actions.

Seeing this, Luo Jianqing didn’t say much more, just clasped his fist in respect.

"When my Luohua Sword Sect holds the founding ceremony, I hope Yan Shouguan can do me the honor of attending in person to give us morale support."

"Sure."

Receiving the affirmative reply, Luo Jianqing smiled.

He turned around and left.

Shortly after, the carriage led by the Black-footed Horse galloped away from Sui Chong Pass.

And shortly after Luo Jianqing took his leave, Dongfang Tong appeared in the courtyard where Yan Wenxi and the others were.

He was there to say goodbye as well.

"Young Master Dongfang, the fact that I returned safely this time is also greatly thanks to you. I will remember your kindness as well."

Facing the farewell, Yan Wenxi treated Dongfang Aotian much colder.

Chen Yunyun frowned looking at Dongfang Aotian.

Just an hour ago, Dongfang Aotian came to visit them once.

That time, Dongfang Aotian came specifically to propose marriage, seeking an alliance.

If it weren’t for Dongfang Aotian’s self-preserving behavior being late during the day, just based on Dongfang Aotian rescuing Yan Wenxi, Chen Yunyun might truly have wavered.

After all, in her heart, the master is the most important, and if someone who saved the master came to propose, she wouldn’t be unwilling to give a chance.

Unfortunately, this good impression was ruined by Dongfang Aotian himself.

Combined with Yan Wenxi’s not-so-good impression of Dongfang Aotian, unlike Daoist Qing Yan who highly praised him, naturally, this matter was also rejected.

The marriage alliance didn’t happen, Dongfang Aotian almost slammed the door as he left, said a few unpleasant words, making the impression and view in the two women’s hearts drop another notch.

This time, even though Dongfang Aotian had reined in his temper when coming to bid farewell, his image had already declined, so the attitudes of the two women were not too good.

Yan Wenxi was a bit better, having enough experience to maintain a surface smile.

But Chen Yunyun frequently frowned.

"Master Yan Wenxi, and Yunyun, I am here to apologize for my previous rudeness. I didn’t control my emotions well, and even though we didn’t form an alliance through marriage, the friendship remains. In the future, if Sui Chong Pass encounters any difficulties, you can always..."

When Dongfang Aotian said this, footsteps suddenly came from behind.

It was indeed Fang Yu who came.

He saw the carriage of Luo Jianqing leaving, so he came here to inquire about the situation.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Dongfang Aotian saying goodbye to Yan Wenxi and the others.

Dongfang Aotian naturally also turned his gaze to Fang Yu, cleared his throat, then suddenly stood up straight and said loudly.

"...If either of you encounters difficulties in the future, you can come to the Taixu Xiaoya Sect to find me, I will do my utmost to help within my capabilities."

Taixu... Xiaoya Sect?

What’s that?

Fang Yu looked confused.

But over there, Yan Wenxi and Chen Yunyun almost simultaneously changed their expressions.

"Young Master Dongfang is actually..." Yan Wenxi stood up.

"..." Chen Yunyun didn’t speak but her previously not quite fond expression toward Dongfang Aotian obviously softened considerably.

Dongfang Aotian naturally knew how deadly his identity was and the kind of effect it could have.

But this time out, he acted privately, and this identity wasn’t convenient to be known to outsiders.

Only in the face of the two women’s stimulation and the appearance of Fang Yu did he can’t help but want to reveal his identity, making these people realize his value! Change their attitude!

Unfortunately, even though the attitudes of the two women softened a lot, there was still no follow-up on the marriage alliance.

"My sect is somewhat special, previously nobody knew of it except for Daoist Qing Yan. I ask both of you, and Diao Deyi as well, not to spread it casually."

Dongfang Aotian was obviously somewhat proud, somewhat forgetful, not noticing Fang Yu’s utterly confused expression.

But after putting on this show, Dongfang Aotian’s mood was evidently a lot better.

With a clasped fist to the group, and his gaze lingering on Chen Yunyun for a few seconds, he also took his leave.

Only when he was about to leave the courtyard, did his demeanor become subdued, and a trace of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
