Chapter 70 Chance Encounter
After a long while, Zhang Tie finally recovered, walked into the lake, forced a smile, and stopped a monk who looked like a Taoist priest.
“My fellow Taoist, have you ever…” Zhang Tie was interrupted by the Taoist in front of him before he could finish his words.
"What a coincidence, didn't we meet before the square last time?"
Zhang Tie also recalled, "It turned out to be fellow Taoist. What a coincidence. Last time, fellow Taoist invited me to watch the fun. I didn't expect to meet him here again!"
The monk in Taoist robes smiled and said, "Haha, indeed, indeed, I think we two are really destined to be together. Why don't you come with me for a drink?"
Zhang Tie was about to refuse but was stopped by the Taoist priest.
"I am the Feng Shui master of the Yanyue Sect. Every blade of grass and every tree here was built by me. You don't know that when I just came here, I actually found an old man sitting there."
The Taoist pointed to the place where Zhang Tie had hidden old man Qiong, "I originally advised him to leave. After all, this is the best place I chose for the ceremony. I didn't expect that the old man didn't want to leave with me at first, but later when he saw many people coming, he left with me."
Zhang Tie's eyes lit up with joy when he heard this. Yes, this old man is a casual cultivator, so naturally he doesn't know Old Man Qiong. But I clearly set up a concealment formation, so how did he see through it?
Zhang Tie looked at the old man who was only at the ninth level of Qi training and thought in confusion.
But now is not the time to think about this. Zhang Tie quickly pulled the Taoist priest and said, "To be honest, the old man is one of my elders. He thinks this is a good place, so he wants to stay here for two days."
Zhang Tie made up a random excuse.
"Hey! Your elder is really good at choosing a place. It took me half a month to choose such a good place in Yanyue Sect, but your elder chose it in no time. I have to have a good talk with him!"
As he spoke, the Taoist took out a gourd hanging from his waist, took a big sip, and then handed it to Zhang Tie, asking him to have a taste.
Zhang Tie was anxious and had no time to drink. He just declined, "Daoyou, I am not good at drinking. Can you tell me where the elders of the clan are now?"
The Taoist priest was not angry when he saw Zhang Tie refused. He just took another sip of wine and said with a smile:
"It's in my cave, not far from here. I'll take you there when I'm done!"
"Could you please tell me more details? I am really a little anxious here."
Seeing Zhang Tie was anxious, the Taoist priest stopped refusing and said, "Take it. This is the token of my cave. It is on Floating Cloud Peak."
"Floating Cloud Peak!"
“Isn’t that the sect master’s peak!” Zhang Tiexin thought, oh no, that old man Qiong is in even greater danger!
After taking the Taoist's token, Zhang Tie thanked him and then walked towards Floating Cloud Peak.
Zhang Tie was thinking about how to deal with what was going to happen next along the way, and soon arrived at Floating Cloud Peak.
"No one?" Zhang Tie looked at the deserted Floating Cloud Peak with a look of surprise on his face. After thinking for a while, he thought that maybe everyone went to the small lake to celebrate tomorrow's ceremony.
Mountain darkly, vista.
Zhang Tie paid tribute to the famous saying of the saint in his previous life and walked into Floating Cloud Peak.
Nangong Wan was feeling upset at this moment. Although she didn't care that much about love affairs between men and women, she always felt a little unwilling to sacrifice herself for the sake of the sect and have a double life with that Mr. Bai from the Luoyun Sect.
Fairy Miaoyin knew that Nangong Wan was unhappy, so she cleared the entire Floating Cloud Peak, leaving only Nangong Wan, the bride, alone here. Nangong Wan's cave was antique, and she loved flowers and plants the most, so she raised a lot of beautiful flowers and plants in the cave.
Whenever she felt irritated during practice, she would always look at the flowers and plants she raised and she would quickly calm down. But this time, she had already looked at them for nearly half a day and still couldn't help feeling upset.
"Why does that black guy always appear in my mind?"
Nangong Wan shook her head vigorously, forcing herself to calm down, "Forget it, let's go out for a walk!"
She took a walk while looking at the surrounding scenery, "Oh, I really need to come out more often." Looking at the surrounding mountains and clouds, and green trees, Nangong Wan felt much better.
"These flowers are growing well, and so are these grasses," Nangong Yun suddenly discovered that the arrangement of these flowers and plants seemed quite charming, and wondered if there were any monks who understood Feng Shui here?
Nangong Wan followed the flowers and plants out of curiosity, and soon came to a cave. "It seems that there is really a new person coming in." Nangong Wan looked for a while, knowing that there must be no one inside, so she turned around and left.
"Master, let's go quietly, no one will notice us!"
Nangong Wan looked back and found two cultivators, one old and one young, tiptoeing out of the cave. The younger one was whispering something to the older one.
The people who came out were naturally Zhang Tie and Old Man Qiong.
After instructing old man Qiong, Zhang Tie headed outside. When he looked up, he found a very beautiful woman staring at them with curiosity.
Nangong Wan recognized old man Qiong and thought, wasn't he sent to the Trial Peak by the head master? How could he have escaped here?
Zhang Tie did not recognize the female cultivator in front of him, but he could see the cultivation level of the cultivator in front of him. He was obviously a Jindan cultivator!
"Master, do you know the person in front of you?" Zhang Tie looked at the female cultivator in front of him with a pretended calm face. While communicating with old man Qiong, he slowly walked away.
He wanted to try whether he could leave directly. After all, not every Jindan ancestor would be so bored as to interrogate ordinary disciples.
The only thing to worry about is that old man Qiong will be recognized.
"Natural recognition!"
Old Man Qiong’s words made Zhang Tie nervous. Since Old Man Qiong knew her, she must also know Old Man Qiong!
Zhang Tie still had a last glimmer of hope at this moment. He hoped that Old Man Qiong was the suitor of this female cultivator. Maybe Old Man Qiong was a shy old man who had a crush on a fairy!
"Senior Qiong!"
"It's over!"
Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and clasped his fists towards the female cultivator in front of him, forcing himself to put on a smile, "Junior Li Feiyu, nice to meet you, senior!"
However, Nangong Wan had no intention of paying any attention to Zhang Tie. She just looked quietly at the old man Qiong in front of her. As a Jindan master of the sect, she naturally knew how powerful the old man Qiong was.
Although she heard that the poor old man failed to break through and his cultivation level fell, and was also sealed by the head sister and sent to the Trial Peak, she still didn't want to easily provoke this Jindan who was comparable to Yuanying.
"Where are you going, senior?"
Nangong Wan thought about it for a while, and finally decided to ignore the matter of old man Qiong. Now that she was going to marry into the Luoyun Sect, she no longer wanted to get involved too much in the sect's affairs.
