Chapter 72 Traveling with Qian Renxue, Arriving at the Wind Sword Sect
On the official road where yellow dust filled the sky.
A white horse stood by the roadside, and the golden-haired figure on the saddle was so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly.
She stopped her horse, as if waiting for someone.
Upon seeing this scene, Li Zhexian suddenly recalled Xue Qinghe's words from the previous day.
"I'll be very busy with official business tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off."
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
A guess came to mind, but I dared not be certain.
The swift horse galloped with all four hooves.
Just then, Li Zhexian was about to pass by the blonde girl.
With a flick of her wrist, she controlled the reins, and her white horse deftly swerved to block Li Zhexian's path.
Ye Junma neighed loudly, its front hooves raised high.
It abruptly halted its momentum, raising a cloud of yellow dust.
This act of blocking the road once again confirmed Li Zhexian's suspicions.
He gazed at that slender, exquisitely beautiful figure and raised his voice to ask:
"Why are you blocking my way, young lady?"
Qian Renxue still had her back to Li Zhexian, her palms, which were holding the reins, were already soaked with sweat.
Her heart was pounding like a deer's; she could hear it clearly.
Whether it was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall or the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, she had seen far too many grand occasions, but she had never felt as nervous as she was now.
Last night I tossed and turned, rehearsing the words I had spoken countless times, and going over them in my mind again.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
Finally, he gently shook the reins, slowly turned the horse's head, and faced Li Dixian directly.
When she saw the young man in white again after her daughter's true appearance was restored, her heart trembled violently.
But Qianrenxue was unaware of this.
When her face came into Li Zhexian's view.
And what a thrilling and breathtaking experience it brought.
Even Li Zhexian himself admitted that he was mostly consumed by swords and wine.
Upon suddenly seeing such a face, I couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.
A long, flowing white and gold lace dress cascaded down her back.
The girl's long golden hair cascaded down to her waist, making her dreamlike face appear even more ethereal and holy.
Those azure eyes were as clear as a mountain lake, and her long, fair legs, faintly visible beneath her skirt, shimmered with a warm glow in the sunlight.
On this desolate official road.
To suddenly encounter someone like this is truly like an angel descending to earth.
Being stared at like that by Li Zhexian, Qian Renxue's heart became even more flustered, and her body tensed up.
He could only try his best to keep his voice steady.
"Are you Li Zhexian? Do you know Xue Qinghe?"
Li Zhexian is a living witness.
He already knew that the stunning blonde girl in front of him was Xue Qinghe's true form, Qian Renxue.
I thought the other party was going to confront me.
But judging from this question, it seems that this is not the case?
He continued, "..."
"I am Li Zhexian."
"Xue Qinghe is my good brother, what do you mean by that, young lady?"
A thousand feet of snow suppressed the ripples on the lake of my heart.
My name is Qian Renxue.
"Xue Qinghe is worried that you are on a long journey and may encounter danger, and he is unable to take care of you in two places at once."
"Therefore, I was asked to accompany you to the Wind Sword Sect."
This statement was the result of her long and agonizing deliberation.
Why not be honest about your identity?
She was filled with worries.
Firstly, he feared that Li Zhexian might find it difficult to accept the sudden discovery that his brother, with whom he spent every day, was actually a woman.
If the two become estranged as a result, that would be a bad thing.
This matter needs to be addressed gradually.
Secondly, she also needs to restore Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's identity.
If we point this out now, how will we get along in the future?
Qian Renxue unconsciously tightened the reins with her slender fingers.
"Just consider it greed on my part—"
"Whether it's Xue Qinghe or Qian Renxue, I want to accompany you on your journey."
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Li Zhexian almost laughed.
What kind of approach is this?
He found it amusing, but remained outwardly composed.
He took the wine flask hanging beside the saddle, tilted his head back and took a large gulp, wiped his mouth, and asked:
How can I trust you?
"Who knew you hadn't found out where I was from elsewhere and deliberately approached me with ulterior motives?"
Qian Renxue remained silent for a moment.
The gold bracelet on her left wrist shimmered slightly.
A warm, smooth jade pendant fell into her palm, and she gently tossed it to Li Zhexian.
"This is the Crown Prince's token; isn't that enough to convince him?"
Li Zhexian took the token and glanced at it casually.
I believe it.
He then changed the subject, saying:
"But I'm used to being alone."
"What should I do if I don't like traveling with others?"
Qian Renxue's chest rose and fell slightly.
The curves wrapped in delicate lace trembled slightly.
How come she never realized before that Li Dixian was so difficult to deal with?
"Xue Qinghe has put in a lot of effort. If you go against his good intentions, you'll have a hard time explaining yourself when you return to Tiandou City."
Li Bai, dressed in his robes, pondered for a moment, and finally sighed.
"Fine, fine, then you can come along."
The words fell.
He lightly flicked the reins, and the steed neighed loudly, galloping forward.
As Qian Renxue gazed at the white-clad figure galloping ahead on horseback, the corners of her lips finally curved upwards, revealing an extremely soft smile.
For the next ten days, she was no longer Xue Qinghe.
She is now just Qian Renxue.
"finally-
"I can now walk with you in my true form."
The Wind Sword Sect is far away from Heaven Dou City.
Located deep within the Wind Gathering Mountains in the eastern part of the Star Luo Empire.
Even though the swift steed could travel a thousand miles a day, it still took Li Zhexian and Qian Renxue two full days of travel, changing horses along the way without stopping, before they finally stepped into the territory of the Star Luo Empire.
"Let's rest for a bit, we'll be there soon."
Upon reaching a clear lake, Li Zhexian dismounted.
After two days of travel, his fair face had darkened slightly, and a few strands of hair lay disheveled against his cheeks.
His slightly weary appearance, paired with his dusty white shirt and the wine gourd at his waist, only added to his free-spirited and unrestrained air of a wandering swordsman.
Qian Renxue also reined in her horse and stopped.
The stunning beauty seemed to possess extraordinary qualities; despite two days of rapid travel, she was left without the slightest trace of disarray.
Her red lips were still vibrant, her blue eyes still clear and bright, and her white and gold gown was spotless, her noble and pure aura undiminished.
"After eating dry rations for two days, my mouth is so bland it's like a bird's nest."
Li Zhexian enthusiastically took out his fishing gear from his treasure pouch.
"Qian Renxue, do you know how to fish?"
Qian Renxue remained silent for a moment.
"Won't."
Li Zhexian, with his back to her, smiled.
They're putting on quite a convincing act.
I've gone fishing with him at Lotus Lake at least eighty, if not a hundred.
He taught Qian Renxue how to bait the hook and cast the line.
After enjoying a delicious meal of lake fish, the two set off again on horseback.
They traveled at high speed for another half day.
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.
Surrounded by mountains, it stands like a natural barrier.
The steep cliffs on three sides form a huge wind tunnel.
Before one even steps inside, the air is already filled with the whistling sound of the wind cutting through the mountain crevices.
As soon as they approached, a strong gust of air rushed towards them, causing Li Zhexian's white robe to flutter and Qian Renxue's long golden hair to dance in the wind.
"What a formidable, dangerous place in the eye of the storm!"
here.
The wind is everywhere and penetrates every nook and cranny.
Li Zhexian clearly felt his Azure Lotus Sword throb with excitement.
"We've come to the right place."
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and looked through the howling wind.
It sits atop an ancient, rustic plaque, nestled deep in a mountain valley, hidden by dense foliage.
A clear, long whistle pierced through the howling wind, echoing through the valley.
"Li Bai, the banished immortal, has come to pay homage to the mountain!"
