Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

With carved beams and painted buildings, waterside pavilions and terraces, it is a bustling city with people coming and going. It is a prosperous city in the world.

Shen Yichen was really regretful in his heart, because the prosperity of the world had nothing to do with a poor man like him!

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes but had not a penny to spend. He could only watch from afar the feasts and delicacies of the rich.

Shen Yichen walked on the streets of Jianying Holy City, muttering to himself:

"Sister Qing, please don't let me down. The price I paid for your cheapness is too high!"

Sister Qing hasn't said a word to Shen Yichen since she decided to concentrate on healing and practicing. Shen Yichen really couldn't adapt to it for a while!

Shen Yichen stood on a stone bridge, looking at the snow falling on the still water and the dead trees and branches. The winter in Jianying Holy City was also very bleak!

"Sir, my master invites you!"

Shen Yichen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and turned to look at the person who bowed. It was obvious that he was talking to him!

Shen Yichen frowned slightly. He didn't know anyone in Jianying Holy City, but he was just trying to get some information, so he asked softly:

"Where?"

"It's the Yonghe Building in front!"

Shen Yichen pondered for a moment and said softly:

"Lead the way!"

He decided to go and see who it was. It was definitely not someone from the Ouyang family, nor was it someone in the same group as the Ouyang family, otherwise he would not come alone and would not be so respectful!

Yonghe Tower is a restaurant. Although it is noon, there are not many people.

Shen Yichen followed the man and went straight to the third floor.

When Shen Yichen saw the two young men on the third floor, he was shocked. He turned around and took a quick look. He didn't see the person he was afraid of meeting, so he felt relieved.

"Brother-in-law!"

Gongsun Qingmu and Murong Ruoshui called out to Shen Yichen at the same time.

Shen Yichen looked at the two young men and was stunned for a moment, not because of meeting these two people, but because of the two calls of brother-in-law.

Shen Yichen felt a little dizzy! His relationship with Gongsun Qingyu had already broken down, so why would these two young masters still call him brother-in-law?

Of course Shen Yichen didn't know that Gongsun Qingyu hadn't met up with the two yet! And the two young masters were waiting for Gongsun Qingyu here.

Shen Yichen sat directly in front of the table and asked softly:

"What about your sister?"

He was looking at Gongsun Qingmu.

"Brother-in-law, we wanted to ask you, why didn't you come with my sister? My sister accompanied you into the abyss of death, why did you separate?"

Gongsun Qingmu already knew that Gongsun Qingyu had walked out of the abyss of death, and Gongsun Qingyu had already passed the news to them.

Shen Yichen felt a little dizzy and asked again:

"What about your sister?"

Gongsun Qingmu said as he poured the wine:

"My sister hasn't arrived yet, but she's almost there. However, the gates of Jianying Holy City are closed. My sister must be stopped outside!"

Murong Ruoshui came close to Shen Yichen and whispered:

"Brother-in-law, you are so awesome! You destroyed the ancestral temple, stole the holy sword, and still wandered around the street so blatantly. No wonder Sister Qingyu fell in love with you!"

Shen Yichen's heart was at ease, and he said with a smile:

"You haven't met up with Qingyu yet?"

After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and added:

"Qingyu walks so slowly!"

Murong Ruoshui also poured a glass of wine for Shen Yichen!

"Brother-in-law, you are so amazing. Can you let me see the holy sword you stole?"

Shen Yichen placed the sword directly next to the table, far away from him. He was really afraid that the sword would hurt him. He nodded and drank the wine himself.

Murong Ruoshui picked up the Holy Sword Feng Yin and looked at it carefully with a greedy look on her face.

Gongsun Qingmu came close to Shen Yichen and asked softly:

"Brother-in-law, why isn't that Jin Fei girl with you?"

Shen Yichen drank his wine and laughed secretly in his heart. Gongsun Qingmu was too impatient!

"We got separated in the Abyss of Death!"

Murong Ruoshui also came over.

"Brother-in-law, where is the masked Yuyao?"

Shen Yichen drank by himself and shook his head!

"I really don't know what you meant by the Sword-Welcoming Holy City closing its gates?"

Murong Ruoshui was a little disappointed and sighed:

"Oh, it's so boring. I can't go anywhere after entering the Sword-Welcoming Holy City, and I can't even see any girls!"

Gongsun Qingmu responded:

"Brother-in-law, we don't know either. The Holy City was closed twice because of you. Today, it was closed again. We don't know the specific reason yet. Normally, my sister should have entered the Holy City today, but looking at this, she probably can't get in!"

Gongsun Qingmu was also a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do. These two young masters were strictly controlled and were not allowed to leave the area at all. In the past, it was Gongsun Qingyu who took them out to play and go shopping!

“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are so awesome, how about you take us to a brothel? I heard that the brothels in Jianying Holy City are very luxurious, and they are very decent brothels!”

"Yes, yes, and you can bid on it. I heard there are women practicing Taoism!"

Shen Yichen was really speechless, and said helplessly:

"What kind of joke are you two? I can barely hide with my status, how dare I show off like that!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you forgot that the Ouyang family is looking for you everywhere. Brother-in-law, why don't you stay in our courtyard and wait for my sister to come. She can negotiate with the Ouyang family and should be able to save your life!"

"Qingmu, I think it's a waste of effort. My brother-in-law has gone too far this time. Don't let the Gongsun family get involved! Brother-in-law, why don't you just run away!"

Shen Yichen didn't plan to ask these two people any questions. These two young masters were even more stupid than him! So he said:

"I lost all my money when I went to Xuankong Mountain. Can you two lend me some money?"

A young man may lack everything except money!

Gongsun Qingmu winked at the person behind him, and a bulging purse was placed next to Shen Yichen's wine glass.

Shen Yichen was not polite at all, he took it directly and said softly:

"It's better for us to separate. Don't tell your sister if you saw me, or I'll cause you trouble!"

"No, my sister finally found a man. Even if he offends the Ouyang family, she will definitely protect you!"

"That's right, that's right, Sister Qingyu will definitely help you, brother-in-law, don't be afraid!"

Shen Yichen picked up a pot of wine and prepared to leave. He was not afraid of the Ouyang family, he was afraid of Gongsun Qingyu. He sighed secretly in his heart:

"If you two knew what I did, you would probably want to kill me too!"

As Shen Yichen walked out, he asked:

"Where do you live? Qingyu is here so I can come to her secretly!"

Gongsun Qingmu pointed to a mountain and water manor opposite and said:

"Brother-in-law, we live in Xiuyuan Village across the street, remember to come and see my sister!"

Shen Yichen nodded and quickly left Yonghe Tower. He really didn't dare to stay in one place for too long, and he didn't dare to stay in an inn. In Jianying Holy City, who knows how many eyes were watching him in secret!

In the pavilion on the rockery of Xiuyuan Manor, Gongsun Qingyu's great uncle, the short old man, looked at Shen Yichen, who was drinking and leaning on a sword, from afar, and whispered to himself:

"They really walked out of the Abyss of Death. How strange! Didn't they say that the Nine-Transformation Golden Soul Grass was at the bottom of the Sword Pond Valley in Xuankong Mountain?"

The short old man disappeared in the pavilion in a flash.

Shen Yichen, reeking of alcohol, pretended to be drunk and staggered along the street. He was thinking about the closing of the gates of Jianying Holy City.

Murong Ruoxi must have been locked outside the city, but Shen Yichen didn't understand why a cultivator would be stopped by the city wall. He decided to go to the Holy City to take a look.

When Shen Yichen, pretending to be drunk, walked south to a very high stone arch bridge, a short old man on the bridge looked at him quietly. He looked obviously sick, with a sallow face, a thin body, and kept coughing.

Shen Yichen stopped and frowned slightly, because he saw the wine in the short old man's hand, it was actually Hai Ying Wan Zhao!

Shen Yichen looked at the short old man with a smile on his face and asked softly:

"Senior, your wine was given to you by Jichouchang, right?"

"It's not easy, young man, you really walked out of the abyss of death!"

Shen Yichen came under the stone arch bridge. He guessed that the person was from Yu Mufan. At that time, he only saw Ji Chouchang throwing the wine. When he looked at Yu Mufan again, he only saw part of the man's back.

"Senior, are you waiting for me?"

"Did Qingyu find the Nine-Transformation Golden Soul Grass in the Abyss of Death?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen's expression changed, and he quickly stepped back a few steps, saying in shock:

"You, how do you know about the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Grass?"

Shen Yichen was really shocked. Gongsun Qingyu couldn’t possibly say this, and she didn’t even know about it in the beginning!

"Don't be nervous, young man. I've known about the Nine-Transformation Golden Soul Grass for a long time, but I just don't have the courage to enter the Abyss of Death!"

Shen Yichen didn't know what this person meant, so he didn't know how to respond, because the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Grass was not what he imagined, and it almost killed him!

After Shen Yichen pondered for a moment, he whispered:

"We found the Nine-transformation Golden Soul Grass, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with me! But don't worry, Qingyu's illness is cured!"

The short old man was startled when he heard this and said in a lost voice:

"You said Qingyu's yin and yang body is healed?"

Shen Yichen nodded and said nothing.

The short old man took a sip of wine and then started coughing non-stop. Although he looked very painful, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Shen Yichen didn't care about this person, and asked softly:

"Senior, can I go now?"

"Junior Shangguan Rumeng has seen Senior!"

On the other side of the stone arch bridge, Shangguan Rumeng and Xiao Yingxu arrived.

Shen Yichen didn't see it, and of course he didn't know who Shangguan Rumeng was.

The person Shangguan Rumeng bowed to was the short old man.

Xiao Yingxu ran to the top of the arch bridge. When Xiao Yingxu saw Shen Yichen, he waved and shouted:

"Big brother, we meet again!"

When Shen Yichen saw Xiao Yingxu, he turned around and ran!

Xiao Yingxu was stunned for a moment, and while chasing, he shouted:

"Big brother, why are you running? I came here specifically to find you!"

Shangguan Rumeng also chased after the two of them!

Shangguan Rumeng did not see the deep expression on the short old man's face.

The short old man stood on the top of the stone arch bridge, looking at the three people who disappeared, and whispered to himself:

"Why did she come to Jianying Holy City? That child is her son? It's impossible!"
