The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 421: Revisiting The Old Place

At this time, Bai Susu was also covered in a black robe.

She didn’t reveal her face.

But she did have the authority Su Jingzhen had given her.

Su Jingzhen could immediately confirm her identity.

Seeing Su Jingzhen here, Bai Susu was also somewhat surprised.

She didn’t pretend not to see him: “What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet Master Su here.”

Bai Susu proactively lifted her veil, revealing her stunning beauty.

Her face remained cold, but she forced a smile that she thought was kind.

“Isn’t my appearance here quite normal?

It was the fact that Miss Bai came out of the strange place so quickly that made me a little confused. “

Su Jingzhen responded with a smile.

Bai Susu continued, “Cultivation should be done in moderation. It is not advisable to just stay in seclusion all the time.

Besides, Qingya is here, and it’s not strange for me to come looking for her.”

Su Jingzhen knew about Bai Susu’s relationship with Feng Qingya and silently nodded.

“I am looking forward to the arrival of your Bai family’s elites.”

After saying that, Su Jingzhen didn’t say anything more to Bai Susu.

After all, their relationship was limited to acquaintances.

Oh no, it should be said that it was limited to a cooperative relationship.

From the beginning, Su Jingzhen wasn’t very fond of Bai Susu.

Seeing Su Jingzhen leave directly, Bai Susu’s brows furrowed again.

She subconsciously touched her cheek.

She believed her face and figure should not be inferior to Feng Qingya’s.

Su Jingzhen didn’t seem interested in her at all.

And Bai Susu’s mindset doomed her to not understand many things.

However, her action of touching her face at this moment caught the attention of many cultivators in the first-floor hall.

The appearance of this ice beauty instantly captivated the hearts of many cultivators.

“Who is this? She’s so beautiful.

And she was able to reach the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and even speak with Master Su, she must be someone extraordinary.”

“I wonder if you have noticed that the people who come into contact with Master Su, or the people around him, whether it is Manager Feng or Sect Leader Luo, or the descendant of Dantai who I met once or twice before… all of them are peerless beauties.

Honestly, I don’t envy Master Su in other aspects, but in terms of romance, I’m truly envious.”

“Hahaha, if you had Master Su’s appearance and ability, wouldn’t the peach blossoms naturally come to you?”

“……”

The brief exchange between Su Jingzhen and Bai Susu sparked heated discussions among many in the first-floor hall.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen had already left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

He stepped onto the main street and headed towards a location he had heard about from Shadow Hall.

Many areas of Linjiang City were undergoing expansion, and the various shops on both sides of the main street seemed more diverse and upscale than before.

However, Peach Blossom Alley, Tingyu Lane, and Cuiliu Alley remained unchanged from their usual state.

This time, Su Jingzhen’s destination was Peach Blossom Alley, a place he was most familiar with.

Peach Blossom Alley was still old and dilapidated.

There were more people living here.

No matter how far Linjiang City developed in the future, there would always be too many people at the bottom.

These people couldn’t afford to live in places with more abundant spiritual energy, nor did they have the ability to open up new streets and alleys on the city outskirts.

They could only continue to live in these dilapidated alleys.

At least there was still spiritual energy here, and under the management of the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch, the safety of this place was significantly higher than elsewhere.

“Time changes people,”

Su Jingzhen sighed as he walked on the bluestone slabs of Peach Blossom Alley.

He had lived here for over two years, and it was from here that he began his rise.

He still had some affection for Peach Blossom Alley.

However, the street remained the same, the houses on both sides remained the same, and he didn’t recognize most of the cultivators here.

Soon, Su Jingzhen arrived at the place he was most familiar with, Enlightenment School.

A rusty iron lock hung on the gate.

This time, his destination was this Enlightenment School.

According to the information from Shadow Hall, a suspicious person lived here.

The reason why this person was considered suspicious was because he was nocturnal and Enlightenment School was not open for rent.

But he would climb over the wall every day, and the prohibition formations here were not very strong.

He could easily break them.

In fact, there were more and more cultivators who stole and cheated like this in Linjiang City recently.

The Linjiang Branch mostly didn’t want to pay too much attention.

But the reason he was included in the list was because he chose Enlightenment School!

Su Jingzhen walked to the door and gently tapped it, and the iron lock fell to the ground.

Then, without any hesitation, he pushed the door open.

He was the master of this place, and returning to his old stomping grounds wouldn’t raise any suspicion.

The peach tree in the courtyard was now quite lush.

There were many unripe peaches hanging from its branches, and in a little while, they would be ripe.

Under the peach tree, a figure in black sat quietly.

The guy was not in disguise and looked to be a young man under thirty years old with a pretty face.

There was no obvious aura on his body, and it seemed that he was cultivating.

Su Jingzhen walked in, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at Su Jingzhen steadily, his face still calm.

“There are so many unoccupied courtyards, why would you do such a thing as taking over someone else’s?”

Su Jingzhen felt a bit wary.

He didn’t know this guy, but seeing the other party’s calm expression upon seeing him, he knew this guy was probably not a good person.

At least he was quite confident in his own strength.

“Renting is too much trouble, and this courtyard is empty anyway.

I won’t destroy a single blade of grass here, is that not okay?”

The man’s tone was calm, even with a hint of questioning.

Before Su Jingzhen could speak, he continued, “I know you are the Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch.

I also know you’re a body cultivator, with formidable combat power, but if you’re alone, I wouldn’t be afraid of you.

I’m leaving tonight, and I don’t want to fight you, nor do I intend to be your enemy.”

As he said this, the black youth’s tone remained incredibly calm, yet it also carried a strong flavor.

Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a smile: “In that case, it seems I’ve disturbed you.”

After saying this, under the surprised gaze of the black youth, he actually took the initiative to leave the academy and locked the gate for him.

If it were an ordinary time, he wouldn’t mind testing this guy’s strength.

From the man’s two sentences just now, Su Jingzhen knew that the other party was a remarkable person, but he was definitely not one of the Six Heavenly Generals.

If it were them, they would probably have attacked directly the moment Su Jingzhen entered.

Moreover, this guy looked extremely young, and he could sense that this was not the result of maintaining a youthful appearance.

Right now, Su Jingzhen was rather interested in interacting with this kind of person.

At least he had to try and see if this guy was all bark and no bite, or if he truly had the strength.

But today he had important matters to attend to and couldn’t waste time here.

He didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

After he finished his business, if this guy was still here, Su Jingzhen would definitely come back.

After leaving the school’s courtyard, Su Jingzhen continued towards the deepest part of Peach Blossom Alley.

There is also a slightly better courtyard there, which belonged to Zhang Xiu.

Like his enlightenment school, Zhang Xiu’s courtyard was also not available for rent.

“I wonder where Sister-in-law Zhang Xiu went? I don’t even know if there’s a chance to meet again in this life.”

Standing at the entrance of Zhang Xiu’s courtyard, Su Jingzhen sighed with emotion.

He wasn’t deliberately saying that, but it was a feeling triggered by the scene.

Since crossing over, if not for Zhang Xiu, Su Jingzhen would have been long gone, where would he have the chance to rise?

Now that Ning Yao was in very good condition, he was no longer worried.

But there was no news about Zhang Xiu.

[Emotional Connection with Zhang Xiu reached: Mutual Affection!

Level Bonus: 4x

Cultivation Bonus: 1x]

Su Jingzhen subconsciously brought out Zhang Xiu’s sub-panel.

All aspects of the level remained unchanged.

He didn’t know if this meant Zhang Xiu was still safe and sound.

He did know that if Zhang Xiu had been in Linjiang City all along, her cultivation level shouldn’t still be at the late stage of Qi Refining.

“Whatever will be, will be…”

After sighing, Su Jingzhen walked forward and pushed open the door.

As soon as he pushed open the courtyard gate, his heart instantly became alert.

He sensed a strange aura flash past within the courtyard.

And the second suspect on the list provided by Shadow Hall was hiding in Zhang Xiu’s courtyard.

His cultivation level was still the ambiguous “unknown.”

The blood energy within Su Jingzhen surged instantly.

He was ready to pull out the black brick at any moment.

He was already prepared for a fight at any time.

Zhang Xiu’s courtyard was even smaller than the Enlightenment School.

He stood in the courtyard, looking towards the two side rooms.

“Since you’ve arrived in Linjiang City, why not rent a proper courtyard openly? What’s the meaning of sneaking around like this?

This is a place where my old friend lived, and it is not available for rent. Please leave.”

He could sense that someone was inside those two side rooms.

As he spoke, his aura had already risen to its peak.

Su Jingzhen subconsciously felt that there was something going on in Zhang Xiu’s courtyard this time.

As his voice fell, there was no response from the courtyard.

Only a slight breeze blew.

A fallen leaf on the roof tiles of a distant house was quietly cut in half.

A thought arose, and the world became deadly still.

A heavy and oppressive aura rose within the courtyard where Su Jingzhen stood.

In that instant, Su Jingzhen felt the wind brushing past him as if it were going to cleave his body in two.

His storage ring flickered, and the black brick instantly materialized in his grasp.

“Bang!”

The door he had just pushed open slammed shut.

A powerful barrier seemed to rise within the courtyard.

At the same time, a formidable pressure bore down on Su Jingzhen.

He instantly realized this pressure came from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Whether it was the middle or late stage, he couldn’t tell.

“There is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, there is no door to hell but you break in…”

A raspy voice echoed.

In the next instant, the side room directly in front of Su Jingzhen suddenly flew open.

A violent gust of wind swept out from within.
