Chapter 1417 - 415: Reunion! (6k)_4

The former self, perhaps, was just a seed in her heart, but now, he wanted this seed to take root and sprout, until it grew into a towering tree she could no longer ignore.

"It’s a long story," Zhou Qing’s gaze softened, and he appropriately stopped discussing the topic.

"It’s truly perilous; the void has no direction, the turmoil is unreasonable, and those void creatures are completely beyond communication."

Shen Hanyi: "..."

Zhou Qing coughed dryly and quickly brought a chair over: "Sit down first, I’ll explain to you slowly."

He carefully supported the back of the chair, "Take it easy..."

Shen Hanyi’s cheeks reddened slightly as she slowly sat down.

Zhou Qing, on the other hand, directly sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at her: "When I was dragged in by that Void Beast, I was really scared. There was no time there, no reference point..."

Shen Hanyi quietly listened.

After all, there are very few people who survive the void, and the unknown and curiosity about it are even stronger than the exploration of forbidden zones.

...

Outside the hall, Second Grandpa swayed as he sat by the door, occasionally nodding his head.

Shen Yunzhou looked up at the dazzling sunlight, feeling like a fool basking under the sun.

He moved his hips, inching closer bit by bit.

"Master?" Shen Yunzhou smiled as he approached.

Second Grandpa opened his eyes, adjusted the little tiger hat on his head, and said impatiently: "What?"

Shen Yunzhou lowered his voice: "How did you get to know Master Qingzhou? Did you pick him up along the way?"

"What do you mean pick up? He’s my master!" Second Grandpa glared, "We’ve known each other for many years!"

"Ah?" Shen Yunzhou looked disappointed.

Second Grandpa glanced at the yellow hair on his head and suddenly covered his nose.

Then, full of curiosity: "I heard from your Shen family that the realm you comprehend is very special? It doesn’t do much damage but is highly insulting?"

"No, no!" Shen Yunzhou waved his hands repeatedly, "Those are just rumors spread by people who couldn’t beat me!"

But Second Grandpa was intrigued: "I don’t believe you; you must be modest. Go ahead, insult me and let’s see."

Shen Yunzhou flipped his hands, and suddenly two clumps of foul yellow objects appeared in his palms, emitting a nauseating stench.

"Ugh—"

Second Grandpa inadvertently took a big gulp of air, and his face instantly turned pale, causing him to turn away and start retching...

...

Night fell like ink as a cool breeze brushed by.

Shen Tianhong stood with hands behind his back, clad in a dark robe that almost blended with the night.

He gazed gloomily at the distant Jingxin Hall, then glanced at Second Grandpa and Shen Yunzhou chatting happily outside, his brows furrowed tightly.

"They can talk for so long?"

Slowly, he spread his palm, and a tiny green Gu Insect crawled out from his sleeve.

The Gu Insect was no larger than a grain of rice, with six wings on its back and its abdomen gleaming with eerie fluorescence, covered in numerous compound eyes upon closer inspection.

With a flick of Shen Tianhong’s fingertip, the Gu Insect took flight silently, heading toward the hall.

Outside, Second Grandpa, who was boasting to Shen Yunzhou, suddenly twitched his eyelids, but continued their conversation as if nothing had happened.

Yet, he secretly transmitted his voice into the hall: "They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but a little bug’s sneaked in now, be careful."

Inside the hall, Zhou Qing was just talking about his plan to secretly eliminate the third wife Liu Rushuang to avenge Shen Hanyi.

Shen Hanyi was about to say something when, upon hearing Second Grandpa’s transmission, both changed their expressions.

Then, Shen Hanyi stealthily released her Divine Sense, quickly pinpointing the location in the northwest corner.

Zhou Qing followed her gaze, only to see a green Gu Insect, its six wings trembling lightly, having silently penetrated numerous restrictions, now resting quietly on a Moonlight Stone.

The two exchanged glances and instantly understood each other.

Shen Hanyi solemnly said, "Regarding the third transformation of the ’Nine Palace Spirit Locking Array,’ I still have some confusion..."

Zhou Qing understood and continued: "The key to this array lies in the stacking method of the Spirit Seal..."

The two engaged in discussion about arrays, one word at a time.

On the Moonlight Stone, the Gu Insect’s compound eyes flickered with dim light, transmitting the "normal" conversation from within the hall back without missing a word.

And Shen Tianhong stood in the shadows, listening to the array discussion being transmitted, his brows furrowing ever tighter...
