Chapter 52 Li Bai and his companion act alone

Kunlun Ruins is located on the edge of Qingzhou in the northern part of the Great Qi Dynasty, nestled in the Kunlun Mountains. Kunlun Ruins has a sect leader and four elders, with countless disciples divided into inner and outer sects.

Li Hengzhi was the direct disciple of the Grand Elder.

Li Hengzhi and Jiang Si were ordered by their sect to go to Wuzhou to investigate the Jade Balance Stone. Not only did they meet Bai Heming, their childhood friend whom they hadn't seen for many years, in Wuzhou, but they also rescued Bai Heming and his younger siblings from the hands of bad guys. They also experienced a series of twists and turns related to the Seven Star Stone with others.

As Li Hengzhi and Bai Heming went through hardships together, they cleared up the misunderstandings of the past and gradually understood each other's feelings. On Qixia Mountain, the two accidentally broke the seal of the great formation, causing their original memories and magical power to rush out.

It turns out that the legendary Seven Star Stones are not just ordinary stones representing the Big Dipper, but rather stones that seal the memories and magical powers of the seven Celestial Lords of the North Pole Palace. Once the seven Celestial Lords have completed their reincarnation, they can break the seal and regain their memories and magical powers through the stones, then reshape their immortal bodies and return to the Celestial Realm.

Each of the Seven Star Stones was sealed by the Heavenly Emperor in a great formation in the mortal realm. No one knew this except the seven Northern Dipper Immortal Lords and the Heavenly Emperor.

But then rumors of the Seven Star Stones suddenly appeared in the human world. No one knew where these rumors came from. People are always full of curiosity and even fantasies about mysterious things.

If an ordinary mortal were to obtain the Seven Star Stone, the faint immortal power attached to the stone would greatly change that mortal. The memories and magic power preserved within the stone would dissipate over time, causing the Northern Dipper Immortal Lord to fail in this reincarnation. He would be nothing more than an ordinary mortal in this life, never to return to the Immortal Realm.

After regaining their memories, Li Hengzhi and Bai Heming immediately realized the problem. However, they couldn't tell Gu Yan and Jiang Si about these things and had to act on their own.

In addition, Li Hengzhi has found Bai Heming this time, and his master knows what Li Hengzhi has done over the years, so he really wants to take him back to the sect to visit his master, and there is still some information about the Seven Star Stone screen painting that needs to be asked of the sect leader.

But who would have thought that the two of them, after returning to Kunlun Ruins, would arouse the envy of others, forcing Bai Heming and Yuhengshi to once again appear in the eye of the storm.

--------------

More than half a month later, Yu Zechuan finally arrived in Qingzhou with Gu Yan and the other two.

Gu Yan sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the people coming and going on the street. She felt as if she had returned to Wuzhou. When she was in Wuzhou, her elder brother was by her side. Now that she was in Qingzhou, it was her going to find her elder brother.

Riding ahead on horseback, Su Huaiqi looked at Yu Zechuan, who was keeping pace with her, and turned to ask, "Young Master, we've already entered Qingzhou. Will we be at Kunlun Ruins soon?"

Yu Zechuan shook his head. "Kunlun Ruins is in Kunlun City, and Kunlun City is in the northernmost part of Qingzhou. I'm afraid it will take another two or three days to get there."

"There are already so many people before we even reach Kunlun Ruins. I'm afraid everyone is here because of the rumors about the Seven Star Stones." Su Huaiqi quickly scanned his surroundings and sighed in a low voice.

The two people in the carriage also heard Yu Zechuan's reply, and could only sway and sway in the carriage for another two days before finally entering Kunlun City.

There were more people in Kunlun City than Gu Yan and his companions had seen along their journey through Qingzhou.

The carriage could barely move on the road, so Gu Yan and Shen Mujin had no choice but to jump off and follow Su Huaiqi and Yu Zechuan, who were leading the horses.

"Young Master, where are we staying? It looks like the inn is probably full by now with so many people." Su Huaiqi frowned; she really hadn't expected there to be so many people here.

Goodness, this is almost as much as the passenger flow during the Spring Festival travel rush.

"Wutong Villa has a small courtyard in Kunlun City, where we will stay temporarily."

Yu Zechuan led the group through the crowd for a while, then turned into a small alley, where a small courtyard with ivy covering the walls appeared before them.

Gu Yan: It feels so good to be around rich people, they own houses everywhere.

Only an elderly couple lived in the courtyard, responsible for its daily care and cleaning. Having received advance notice, they had already tidied up the courtyard and rooms.

The old lady thoughtfully prepared lunch, instantly winning over Gu Yan, who was starving.

After a restful afternoon, the group regained their energy and appeared in the courtyard.

"I've noticed that Yu Zechuan seems to really like magnolia flowers," Su Huaiqi said, looking up at the magnolia tree in front of her.

“There are magnolias in almost every courtyard where we stayed in Xuanzhou, and there are some here too.”

Gu Yan nodded somewhat perfunctorily, because she was not really in the mood to observe at the moment and just wanted to quickly enter Kunlun Ruins to find out what was going on.

Su Huaiqi noticed Gu Yan's anxiety, picked up some leaves from the ground, tied them into a small flower, and handed it to him.

"Ayan, since the young master said he could take us into Kunlun Ruins, we will definitely go in. Don't panic, stay calm."

“Yes, Ayan, you might make more mistakes if you panic at times like this. We’ve already arrived in Kunlun City, and we’re only a wall away from Brother Bai and the others. Don’t be afraid, everything will be alright,” Shen Mujin reassured her from the side.

Gu Yan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, and his anxiety seemed to lessen considerably.

He suggested to the two people in front of him, "Let's go out for dinner tonight. We've come all this way to Kunlun City, let's try some of the local delicacies."

"Okay, okay, I'll go call Yu Zechuan, bring our sugar daddy, let's go eat, eat, eat." Su Huaiqi rushed into the other courtyard without looking back to call Yu Zechuan.

Yu Zechuan never expected that at this time, the three girls in front of him would have the leisure to take a short stroll around Kunlun City and try some local delicacies.

Su Huaiqi protested: "We don't call that strolling around, we call it scouting the location in advance."

After a brief consultation with the elderly couple who had lived there for many years, the four headed straight for Kunlun Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Kunlun City.

Gu Yan: Kunlun Ruins, Kunlun City, Kunlun Restaurant. Just based on this name, it's impossible for it not to be famous.

Kunlun Restaurant lacks the grandeur of Mingyue Tower in Xuanzhou and the exquisite naturalness of Chaochun Pavilion in Wuzhou. It appears rather ordinary from the outside, only larger than other buildings in Kunlun City.

The four entered Kunlun Restaurant, which was packed with people; there were hardly any empty tables in sight. Su Huaiqi gave the other two a wink, and the three of them immediately split into three groups, quickly weaving through the crowd.

Gu Yan, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the empty seat and waved to the others.

"I didn't expect you to find the location so quickly." Yu Zechuan was also surprised by the three girls' quick action and excellent teamwork.

Su Huaiqi suppressed a laugh, nodded, and placed the menu on the table to change the subject: "Let's order."

I couldn't help but feel proud: Back in the day, if you were slow when you went to the cafeteria to find a seat at lunchtime, you wouldn't be able to eat the food you liked.

Gu Yan and Shen Mujin were looking at the same menu when Gu Yan noticed that Shen Mujin seemed lost in thought. He asked with concern, "Mumu, what's wrong?"

Shen Mujin pointed uncertainly to the left, "I think I saw Jiang Si when I was looking for a spot."

"Huh? Where? Where?" Gu Yan quickly looked up in the direction Shen Mujin pointed, only to see a sea of ​​heads.

“I did see several Qingfeng Sword Sect disciples dressed in green when I came over, but I didn’t see Jiang Si,” Yu Zechuan nodded and added.

"It's possible. Jiang Si and Brother Li have such a good relationship, and the Qingfeng Sword Sect also has a good relationship with Kunlun Ruins. Maybe Jiang Si came because he was worried about Brother Li and the others." Gu Yan thought about it more and more and felt it was possible, so he immediately stood up from his seat.

"I'll take a look."

After leaving those words, Gu Yan quickly walked in the direction Shen Mujin pointed.

Gu Yan carefully observed each table of guests eating on both sides.

“No, this one isn’t wearing a blue robe.”

"That's not it either, you're sitting improperly."

"This one is definitely not like that; it's almost as fat as a ball."

Suddenly, a group of blue figures in the corner caught Gu Yan's attention. However, there were at least a dozen people in the group, and Gu Yan withdrew his foot that had just been taken.

"Why are there so many people? It would be so embarrassing if we didn't recognize the person."

Just as Gu Yan was standing there hesitating, someone suddenly bumped into him from behind. He lost his balance and fell to the side, hitting his lower back directly on the corner of the table next to him. Gu Yan grimaced in pain.

"What's wrong with you? Standing in the middle of the road blocking the way." The young woman who hit the person was also dressed in blue, and she complained with a frown.

Gu Yan was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, so he could only wave his hand to indicate that he was alright.

Perhaps the noise from this minor incident was a bit loud, as it immediately attracted the attention of the group of men in blue robes in the corner, who all looked up in this direction.

Gu Yan quickly scanned everyone's faces and found that Jiang Si was indeed among them. However, he hadn't noticed him for a moment because he had been looking down and his seat was in the back.

Ignoring his back pain, Gu Yan immediately waved happily to Jiang Si, "Young Master Jiang!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Si merely glanced at her expressionlessly, the indifference and coldness in his eyes causing Gu Yan to involuntarily step back.

The woman in green beside him watched all this, raised her eyebrows, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Senior Brother Jiang doesn't just talk to everyone. Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror?"

Hearing the woman in green's sarcastic remarks and seeing Jiang Si turn away, unwilling to acknowledge her, Gu Yan bit her lower lip, her heart aching.

Gu Yan didn't want to say anything more, so he turned around and left. The pain in his lower back became more and more intense, and he even felt like crying.

Shen Mujin and the others never expected that Gu Yan, who had been happily skipping and jumping when he left, would return with a pale face and red eyes from the smoke.

"Ayan, what's wrong?" Shen Mujin held Gu Yan's hand and asked gently.

"It's nothing, I just bumped into something, it hurts a little, but it'll be fine after a while." Gu Yan suppressed his bad mood and didn't tell anyone what had just happened.

"You are what you eat. Eat more meat and the pain will go away." Su Huaiqi picked up a large piece of braised pork and put it into Gu Yan's bowl.

Gu Yan then noticed that the food was already on the table. What can relieve worries? Only delicious food.

Gu Yan stopped thinking about those troublesome things and simply ate his fill before worrying about anything else.

Hmph, fine, ignore me then.
