Rules of Heaven - C25
After Yang Xuan and Ding Hong had come out, he did not bring Ding Hong’s Imperial Sword and instead, slowly walked towards the inner sect grounds. On the way, Yang Xuan said to him, “Brother Ding, don’t you know how magical that place is? I heard my teachers and elders say that the name of the place is Nether Pond, and that it was borrowed cold and gloomy water from the Underworld. That pool was no different from ordinary water at night, but by day … ” As Yang Xuan was speaking, he praised, “When the day comes, that pond will turn into a transparent sea of ice. Furthermore, that sea of ice is even tougher than stone. There are not many things in this world that can shake him!”
When Ding Hong heard this, he was also greatly surprised. He asked, “How did Penglai borrow this from the Underworld?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Xuanzheng said with a helpless expression, “I just entered the sect a few years ago, how would I know such a top-secret thing?” “However …” “According to secret rumors, the Nine Nether Realm is about to have a ruckus and has reached the mortal world. The ancestor of Penglai, the elders of the Heavenly Palace, the disciples of Great Brahma Temple, Worryfree Valley, and a group of truly godlike people led their disciples and directly sent back the Underworld’s disciples. As for the ancestor masters of Penglai, when they saw the strange water quality in the underworld, they also brought back some …”
Ding Hong’s eyelids twitched. He didn’t expect such a thing to have happened so many years ago. Yang Xuan was just saying that the Penglai clan’s ancestors had “conveniently” brought some back. He couldn’t help but think … Wasn’t this what they were fighting for?
As if he knew what Ding Hong was thinking, Yang Xuan chuckled. During this time, they had arrived at the stone bridge that Ding Hong had passed by that day. The two sides of the stone bridge didn’t have any handrails or railings. Standing on top of the stone bridge, one would be able to see the scenery of the world. On that day, Ding Hong did not pay much attention when he walked past, but now, he was sweating behind his back.
Arriving at the plaza, he discovered that there were a lot of people there. Amongst them, the majority of them were talking to each other. Yang Xuan looked around and seemed to have found someone he knew. He pulled Ding Hong and ran towards the large cauldron in the middle of the square.
After running to the bottom of the cauldron, Ding Hong saw three sect women conversing with each other. Two of them looked very familiar to him. He could not help but feel slightly puzzled.
After Yang Xuan arrived, he deliberately coughed to attract the three girls’ attention before saying, “Senior Sister Su Ting, Junior Sister Su Zhi, Junior Sister Yu, how are you?”
The moment the three people turned around, Ding Hong was surprised. The person that Yang Xuan was calling Senior Sister Su Ting just now should be the woman who had brought him to Penglai. One of them was the girl who had quarreled with him in the bamboo house that day, though he did not know whether she was Su Zhi or Yu Shi.
The two of them turned around and also noticed Ding Hong. They saw that Ding Hong’s spirit was even higher when he did not see him, and a glimmer could be seen in his eyes. They could not help but be greatly surprised.
Yang Xuan saw a few people turn their heads and was about to raise their voices, but realized that the three of them were all looking at Ding Hong. He hastily stopped, and the words lingering in his throat almost choked him to death.
Ding Hong also noticed this and coughed a few times. He said in embarrassment: “I came here to watch with Big Brother Yang …”
Only then did Su Ting and the others turn to look at Yang Xuanzheng, while the woman who had a dispute with Ding Hong was still looking at him. Su Ting looked at Yang Xuanzheng, his brows furrowed. “The people from your Tianqiong Hall aren’t here. What are you doing here?”
Yang Xuanzheng chuckled several times to cover his embarrassment and said, “Isn’t this seeing that my juniors and seniors don’t have anything to do, so I came over to chat with you guys, to stop you guys from getting bored.”
The tall girl next to Su Ting giggled and said, “Senior Brother Yang, we were just chatting when you interrupted us. Are you bored or are we bored?”
What do you mean by thick-skinned? Yang Xuanzheng is known as thick-skinned. When he saw that the woman was talking about him, he only chuckled and continued, “Junior Sister Su, that’s not right. The ancient book “Empyrean” had once said that ‘a yin and a yang is the truth’. Look, we have both men and women now. Only by speaking with each other will we be able to come to a logical conclusion. Junior Sister Yu Shi Xuan, did you say … “Eh, what are you two doing?”
He suddenly said this. Su Ting and Su Zhi both looked towards the Rain Master Pavilion. They saw the Rain Master Pavilion looking at Ding Hong, leaving Ding Hong bewildered. Seeing that they were looking over at him, especially Yang Xuanzheng, who had a ‘you little rascal’ expression, Ding Hong was momentarily taken aback. He asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Suddenly, Yu Shi Xuan said, “Hey, are you Ding Hong?”
When he asked this question, Su Zhi exclaimed in surprise, “So you were Sect Leader Senior Uncle and Senior Brother Li Xuan that day …” Before she could finish, Sutin had already covered his mouth with his hand and glared at her fiercely. Su Zhi came back to her senses and realized that she had leaked the information. She hurriedly lowered her head in silence.
“What’s going on? What’s going on?” Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he hurriedly said: “Senior sister, junior sister, although I am not talented, but I can still be considered a student of Penglai. I understand everything, so how about exchanging some information with you guys? For example, the name list for participating in the Heavenly Palace Conference, the new handsome guy, and the peerless painting … How about I gift me to you guys? If you need information, I can tell you right away! ”
Ding Hong glanced at him sideways. Did this guy want to go crazy with intelligence or did he want to go crazy with women? Su Ting didn’t pay attention to what he said and said to Ding Hong, “We still have to go to the Underworld Pool, so we’ll be leaving first.” With that, he left with Su Zhi and Yu Shi Xuan. For some reason, before leaving, Yu Shi Xuan even turned to look at Ding Hong.
Yang Xuan watched the three of them leave eagerly, but was unable to catch up with them. He shouted out, “What a pity, what a pity!” He suddenly turned around and looked at Ding Hong, urgently asking, “Brother Ding, my good brother, tell me, how was the situation on that day? “Although I know that you can go to the Immortal Heaven Pavilion to read any book you like, something must have happened there, right? You …”
Seeing his anxious look, Ding Hong quickly said, “Big brother Yang, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but that Elder Ren specifically told me not to tell others. If I told him, he would definitely look into my troubles.”
Hearing that it was such a situation, Yang Xuan couldn’t help but ‘howl’ and his expression didn’t even drop. Seeing him like this, Ding Hong also felt a little embarrassed, but he suddenly remembered that he still had a competition. He reminded him with good intentions, “Big brother Yang, don’t you have another competition … …”
“Ah, a competition!” Yang Xuan recovered from the shock, and his face changed as he said, “Aiya, according to this time, it should be my turn. Let’s quickly go to the Underworld Lake.” Without stopping, he pulled Ding Hong and ran forward like a gust of wind.
