Chapter 3402 - 3402 Where Is She?
3402 Where Is She?
“We couldn’t find any. There’s enough water in the space for drinking. If you want to soak your feet or wash your faces, we’ll need to find a village,” Leng Shuang said as she started to walk back with them.
When several of them returned to the fire, as soon as they approached, Feng Jiu looked at Leng Shuang and Qin Xin, asking, “Did you run into trouble?”
“Just a little trouble, but it’s already settled.” Leng Shuang replied.
Feng Jiu nodded and motioned to them, “Take a seat! Have some roast meat. We’ll rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow.”
“Yes,” They replied and then sat by the fire.
Late in the night, with nothing else to do, Mo Chen set up a small low table by the fire. He took out chess pieces from the space and told Xuanyuan Mo Ze, “It’s still early, let’s play two rounds!”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at him and sat down opposite him. Feng Jiu was chatting with Guan Xilin, the Black Tortoise Monarch couple and others. Noticing the chill of the night, she smiled and said to Qin Xin, “Qin Xin, why don’t you play a piece of music that suits the occasion?”
“Yes,” Qin Xin replied, then went to the side to get her guqin and began playing.
The guqin’s melodious and mesmerising melody radiated outward like spring water. Everyone listened with their lips upturned…
As the night grew deeper and the music continued to echo throughout the forest, Jun Jueshang’s eyes lit up when he heard the music. He had been searching for them. He travelled in the direction of the sound until he spotted Feng Jiu, dazzling in her red dress, sitting with the group by the fire.
“Feng Jiu.”
When suddenly someone called “Feng Jiu,” everyone listening to the guqin was startled. Following the direction of the voice, they saw a man in white in the sky standing on a flying sword, looking down at them.
Most of the people sitting by the fire had never seen Jun Jueshang. When the guards, Leng Hua, and others saw him, they instinctively took a defensive stance.
Feng Jiu was surprised for a minute before chuckling and signalling to Leng Hua and others, “Sit down, he is the Sect Master of the Insouciant Sect, Jun Jueshang.”
When everyone heard what Feng Jiu said, they were all shocked. Jun Jueshang, Sect Master of the Insouciant Sect? What did he do here?
Feng Jiu stopped Xuanyuan Mo Ze from getting up by his shoulder and said, “Continue playing chess with Mo Chen! Your game is still not finished yet!” Feng Jiu chuckled and told him, “He’s here for me, don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze nodded when he saw a smile in her eyes. After looking at Jun Jueshang, he looked away, picked up a chess piece, put it down, and turned to Mo Chen, who was sitting across from him, and said, “Your turn.”
Mo Chen looked away from Jun Jueshang and looked at Feng Jiu, then at Xuanyuan Mo Ze, before finally looking at the chessboard. Seeing his move, Mo Chen smiled gently, picked up a chess piece and placed it down too.
As they continued playing chess, the rest stayed seated. Feng Jiu stood up and stepped forward. “You’re here looking for me, right? Come down and let’s talk.”
Watching her from above, Jun Jueshang finally descended from his flying sword, and together, they walked into the forest.
Guan Xilin rubbed his chin and looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze as the two of them disappeared into the pitch-black jungle. “Mo Ze, do you know why he’s here?” he asked, smirking.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze replied without lifting his head, “He came for Wanyan Qianhua.”
“Oh, I see.” Guan Xilin chuckled and nodded. He withdrew his gaze, pulled out a bottle of wine to drink, and began chatting with the Black Tortoise Monarch sitting next to him.
In the forest, Jun Jueshang asked Feng Jiu, who was standing in front of him, “Where is she?”
