Chapter 780: Chapter 226: Nuannuan Xue Rises, Six Kingdoms Stand, Path of Chivalry, Human Soul Pact

Wine, is merely the poorest Spring Water among the Three Spring Brews.

Yet those who drink it are filled with joy.

Li Yuan appeared as the silent Ximen Gucheng; he didn’t stay long, merely had a cup of wine and left.

After he went far, Zhao Chunxin suddenly said, "This man has a vast background and great power, I cannot see through him."

Tie Sha and Fang Jianlong stayed silent, each drinking their wine, slowing down their actions, as if listening closely.

Zhao Chunxin softly said, "He moved into that old house in Silver Creek Square."

"What about the old house?" Tie Sha asked.

Zhao Chunxin replied solemnly, "Others just think it’s a good house, but as someone who’s always been in Wendao Palace, I know it’s the best house in all of Silver Creek Square... no, in all of Shanbao County. It’s almost the only house that stabilizes the Third Grade Meat Field Remnant Vein.

The other houses occupy some parts, but cannot compare to it at all.

This house was always empty until that man moved in with his wife just now."

Fang Jianlong couldn’t resist, "Then this connection reaches the heavens."

Zhao Chunxin sighed, "More than reaches the heavens."

Fang Jianlong asked, "More than reaches the heavens, what else is it?"

As they talked, they suddenly realized Tie Sha beside them wasn’t speaking.

The bearded man had returned from a life of wanderlust, his face covered in scars, but he was watching the road the man had taken, appearing thoughtful.

Feeling the two looking at him, he snapped back, laughing, "Hearing you speak so highly, I couldn’t help but take a few extra glances."

Fang Jianlong lowered his voice, "Sect Leader, have you discovered something?"

Tie Sha laughed, "What discovery? Just that Palace Master Zhao’s words made me wonder, if it’s more than reaching the heavens, then could there be a possibility..."

He squinted his eyes.

He was always bold and whimsical, always thinking of things others couldn’t, even without evidence, relying purely on intuition.

Zhao Chunxin couldn’t help asking, "What possibility?"

The atmosphere solidified.

Everyone held their breath.

Tie Sha burst out laughing, "Drink, drink."

This made the listeners who were eavesdropping impatient.

Even the ordinarily solemn and bitter Fang Jianlong couldn’t help but say, "Come on, say it!"

Tie Sha laughed, "I’m just messing around, thinking randomly, can’t say it."

Zhao Chunxin, feeling a tickle in her heart, said, "Sect Leader, just say it, we old brothers really trust you. If you say it, we’ll keep it confidential."

Fang Jianlong glanced at Zhu Qiao’Er beside him and said solemnly, "The spring night is still cold, you take Xiaoyun back inside."

Zhu Qiao’Er nodded and led the sickly young man away gracefully.

Fang Jianlong said, "Come on, say it, Sect Leader."

Tie Sha restrained his smile, "If it’s more than reaching the heavens, could it be he is... the heavens?"

As the words fell, Fang Jianlong and Zhao Chunxin were both stunned.

Zhao Chunxin said, "Impossible, impossible, the heavens in our place is Lady Yama."

Tie Sha said no more, his eyes suddenly wet, seemingly recalling many past memories.

Zhao Chunxin was stunned and suddenly remembered many things too.

The snow-white flowers placed before the withered graves of Master Li and Tang Chou, the tombstone seemingly swept clean, yet never once seen a trace;

The mysterious Ancestor passed down his cultivation skill, later crossing over into eternal slumber, becoming a world-renowned Weapon Forger, aging with gray hair, leaving behind only one Demon Sword — Sun and Moon in the Sky.

When everyone thought he was dead, one mysterious, unusual case after another, seemingly related to him, occurred, leading the Lotus Sect that then dominated this place into a furious investigation.

The image of Lady Yama was presented to her, and she shook her head at the time, saying she didn’t recognize him.

But did she truly not recognize him?

That person, she could never forget.

That person had become a mysterious legend, whether alive or dead, for what purpose, all beyond her imagination.

Zhao Chunxin’s lips moved slightly, wanting to speak, but her shoulder was suddenly patted with a "slap".

Zhao Chunxin raised her head in surprise and saw Tie Sha looking at her seriously, slowly shaking his head.

On the other side, Fang Jianlong also appeared deep in thought, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Tie Sha said, "You and I are not game pieces, but he is the player.

Thus, you absolutely cannot utter that name.

Moreover, all this is random guessing, so don’t speak it."

Fang Jianlong and Zhao Chunxin solemnly nodded, and when they raised their heads, they saw the peach blossoms blooming brilliantly all around, with the starlit sky flowing like water through the shadows of flowers and leaves, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Drink, drink."

Tie Sha raised his cup.

...

...

The next day.

Evening.

Under the peach trees of Little Ink Workshop, Tie Sha was seated when he saw that white-clad figure passing by again. He hesitated briefly, then raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Hey youngster, what a coincidence!"

Li Yuan looked at him and smiled, "What a coincidence indeed."

Tie Sha stood up, touched his head, and laughed ingenuously, "If the youngster has no other engagement, care to have another drink?"

Li Yuan said, "Sure."

He was, after all, coming to drink with Tie Sha.

At this time, he could easily destroy a city, easily subdue almost any force on this continent, easily slaughter those great powers he couldn’t have imagined before.

But... there was one thing that was very difficult for him, and that was finding an old acquaintance who could still sit down and drink with him.

Back when he disguised himself as Dian Wei, he had told Tie Sha that if he ever went to Cloud Mountain Path and had nothing to do, he could use Dian Wei’s name, but... later the Holy Fire Palace’s destruction happened.

Li Yuan pulled out a wooden chair and sat down.

Tie Sha poured him wine, and then poured some for himself.

His hand trembled slightly.

Li Yuan laughed heartily, snatched the wine jug, and pressed him into the chair saying, "Let me, let me."
