Song of Adolescence

Chapter 63 Langyue Paradise

Although Ye Anshi no longer called himself the monk, Wuxin, and he’d taken off the Buddhist prayer beads, he still wore the same long white robe and was unwilling to let his hair grow out. When he broke each of those Rain Blades, he’d decided not to kill. The Violet Marquis sometimes wondered, was such a benevolent person really suited to be the Sect Leader of Outerheaven? But it was such a benevolent person who had quickly gained the support of every man in Outerheaven. Some of the old men from the inner sanctum even said that from their first sight of him, they felt as if the old Sect Leader had returned from the dead.

"Sect Leader, about your friends, there has been some news of them recently," White-haired Immortal said suddenly.

Ye Anshi was taken aback for a moment, and smiled. "Oh? How are they doing?"

"Tang Lian made a trip to Tang Clan after leaving the Khotan kingdom and met with his shifu, Tang Lianyue of Tang Clan. Xiao Se and Lei Wujie traveled for about three months before they finally reached Snow Moon City. Lei Wujie went ahead to challenge the Tower of Ascension and went straight to the sixteenth floor. Together with the disciple of the Daoist Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen, they challenged the Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi. Although they were both beaten down by one sword move, he was accepted by Li Hanyi and became his first disciple," White-haired Immortal said slowly.

Ye Anshi smiled and said, "This kid’s luck is not bad, to be accepted by the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. However, his shifu in the Lei Clan, Lei Hong and Li Hanyi had a history. There’s probably some ulterior motive there. What about the other one? That stingy innkeeper. Did he return to his Fallen Snow Villa?"

"Xiao Se also stayed in Snow Moon City, and even became the disciple of Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng." Violet Marquis, who had been quiet thus far, suddenly spoke.

"The Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng? I thought it would be that Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun. Seriously, I think if the two of them met, they would get along pretty well." Ye Anshi stretched out his hand, and the wine cup that had fallen onto the snow returned to his hand. "And I really want to taste it. The Wine Immortal’s Seven Cups of Starry Night Wine that defeated the Autumn White Dew of Diaolou Mansion."

"There is news that First Citymaster Baili Dongjun of Snow Moon City left the city on the night that Lei Wujie entered the city and his present whereabouts are unknown," White-haired Immortal said solemnly.

"In fact, in the past few years, the governance of Snow Moon City had always been left to Sikong Changfeng. The other two Citymasters, one brewed wine and the other practiced the sword. They had an easy-going life. Besides, so what if his whereabouts are unknown, can you guess if Baili Dongjun has entered the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm? At that point, you’d be able to close your eyes and let your spirit wander thousands of miles. What does it matter whether or not he’s in Snow Moon City?" Ye Anshi said slowly, as he guessed what White-haired Immortal was thinking.

White-haired Immortal and Violet Marquis exchanged a look but didn’t say anything. The Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun was already the number one under Heaven twelve years ago. But, he kept a low profile and seldom dueled with others. He concentrated on brewing his wine. Rumours were that Luo Qingyang, the Solitary Sword Immortal who guarded the Admirable Desolation City, never took the number one under Heaven title because he was not confident of defeating Baili Dongjun. It was not impossible to imagine that such a person could step into that Spirit Wandering Profound Realm, which was only ever heard of once in a century.

"As for my three friends, I’m sure they will soon become famous in the martial world, just like the three youths from Snow Moon City back then. I look forward to the day when we meet again." Ye Anshi turned around and slowly walked out.

"Sect Leader, where are you going?" White-haired Immortal asked.

"To Langyue Paradise2," Ye Anshi replied faintly. "Now that we’ve eliminated the affliction within Outerheaven, I can count on the abilities of the two of you to ensure that there will be no problems for the next few years. I will go to Langyue Paradise for seclusion3."

"When will Sect Leader be back?" Violet Marquis frowned slightly.

Ye Anshi leaped forward and stood on the western wall. He replied with a clear voice, "When I step into the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm."

Both Violet Marquis and White-haired Immortal were taken aback, but Ye Anshi looked back at them with a smile. "I mean it." Then he took another leap and headed into the distance.

"Can the Sect Leader really enter the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm?" Violet Marquis looked at White-haired Immortal.

White-haired Immortal thought for a while, and said, "When we first met him, he was already near the Unfettered Heavenly Realm. It’s been three months since he returned to Outerheaven, and he’s been cultivating the Six Higher Knowledges of Buddhism, he’s already in a realm above the both of us. He’s only seventeen years old. Compared to the old Sect Leader, his innate talent seems to be a little higher. It’s impossible to say whether he will truly achieve the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm. When the time comes, we can once again enter the Central Plains, and the result from twelve years ago will not repeat itself…"

Violet Marquis huffed a cold laugh. "You can rest assured that if he really enters the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm, the Sect Leader will definitely travel to the immortal mountain beyond the sea and play with the lovely immortal there, instead of bringing you along to the Central Plains."

White-haired Immortal laughed and shook his head. "We have such a powerful Sect Leader, yet he has no ambitions at all. I don’t know if this is something we should be happy about."

Violet Marquis looked at the plum blossoms all over the floor and murmured, "So, the old Sect Leader’s home was in Hangzhou."

At that moment in Snow Moon City, there was also a person watching the moon.

With a blade of green foxtail between his teeth, he lay lazily on the roof, staring blankly at the full moon.

A lady carrying a spear saw him and jumped onto the roof in a single leap. "How dare you, Xiao Se, hiding here being lazy again."

Xiao Se closed his eyes and didn't bother paying her any attention. "It's already late at night. Stop chasing people around and disturbing the peace. How’s your training with the Silver Moon Spear?"

"Silver Moon Spear, Break Your Soul. I’ve reached the fourth stage. Do you want to try it?" Sikong Qianluo smiled maliciously.

"Fine. We’ll try it tomorrow morning, ok? I’m telling you, don’t make me angry. Otherwise, I’ll bring out my Wuji staff and beat you to the ground!" Xiao Se opened his eyes and glared at her fiercely.

"I’ve heard that so many times my ears are numb to it. Go ahead and try beating me, ah." Sikong Qianluo immediately glared back.

"Immature." Xiao Se turned his head.

"Hey, old miser, what are you looking at, coming here every day? That’s the direction of Cangshan. Maybe you’re looking at Lei Wujie, ah. I had a feeling the two of you were a little weird. Heheheh." Sikong Qianluo stuck her tongue out at him.

"Have you ever visited Heavenly Revelations?" Xiao Se asked suddenly.

"The imperial capital, Heavenly Revelations? Never been there." Sikong Qianluo shook her head. "Have you been there?"

Xiao Se nodded. "I have."

Sikong Qianluo gave a faint "Oh". "How is it? Compared to Snow Moon City?"

"It's not as beautiful as Snow Moon City, but it's very big. About seven or eight times the size of Snow Moon City. It’s always crowded with lots happening all the time and people come from all over the world. There are several big market fairs every year, and you can see all kinds of exotic things in the market that come from far, far away. I’ve seen a huge crystal, which was pure and natural, but it was the size of a whole wine jar. The foreigners filled it with wine brewed from grapes. I took a sip once and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it an epicurean fine wine. There’s also a gambling house called Grand Golden Terrace, where I once won a whole city…" Xiao Se suddenly became a little chatty.

On the other hand, Sikong Qianluo turned surprisingly quiet, and she suddenly felt that this Xiao Se in front of her became someone different the moment he started talking about Heavenly Revelations. But, when Xiao Se was like this, he gave others a more intimate feeling. After Sikong Qianluo listened quietly to everything Xiao Se said, she suddenly asked, "If there’s a chance, will you take me to Heavenly Revelations?"

Xiao Se smiled and nodded. "Okay."
