Chapter 1045: Chapter 130: Reunion After a Long Separation, Encountering an Old Friend (2 Updates)

Seeing the two small porcelain bottles he took out, the two disciples of the Purple Light Domain guarding the door both had their eyes light up. The gleam bursting from the depths of their eyes looked as if they wished they could snatch the two little bottles into their arms right away and carefully stash them away.

The two exchanged a glance, not daring to disobey the Purple Light God Emperor’s command, yet unwilling to give up the two bottles in front of them.

Their gazes tangled for a while before they finally reached a consensus.

One of them cleared his throat and said to him, "Well, for the sake of these things, we can help you pass on a message. But whether Little Divine Emperor Mu is willing to see you, that’s none of our business."

The man smiled and nodded.

The other quickly added, "Let’s get this straight first: even if Little Divine Emperor Mu refuses to see you, you’re not allowed to take these things back."

"Naturally." He spoke again with a faint smile.

Seeing him nod in agreement, one of the two finally walked forward and snatched the small bottles from his hands. After they split one bottle each, they fondled them lovingly for quite a while before reluctantly putting the bottles away into their own Qiankun Devices.

"Wait here." After stowing the bottles, one of them tossed the words down at the man arrogantly before turning to walk inside the gate.

Seeing that they were finally willing to go in to report, the man standing outside the door let out a breath in his heart and patiently waited.

Very soon, the one who had gone in came back out again.

The man waiting outside brightened and was just about to step up onto the stairs before he heard the returning disciple say, "Little Divine Emperor Mu is busy and doesn’t see outsiders."

One foot had just landed on the step when the man’s body went rigid and he froze where he was.

He lifted his head in surprise, looked at the two gatekeepers, and asked anxiously, "Senior brothers, may I ask if you reported my name to Little Divine Emperor Mu?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then curled his lip and said, "No."

No!

The man standing at the foot of the steps sighed inwardly, then spoke in a helpless, soft tone, pleading, "I must trouble senior brother to make another trip and tell Little Divine Emperor Mu my name. I believe that once she hears my name, she will definitely agree to see me."

"Why are you so annoying!" the other snapped impatiently.

As he spoke, he was about to go down and drive him away.

But as soon as he moved, he was pulled back by his companion beside him.

"Don’t be rash. No matter what, Junior Brother Yao just now did show his sincerity." He hauled his companion back, quietly giving him meaningful looks.

The companion understood at once, snorted coldly at the man below the steps, then retreated to his original position to stand guard.

After soothing his companion, that man said, "Fine, for your sake I’ll make one more run. But this is the last time. If Little Divine Emperor Mu still doesn’t want to see you, you go back to wherever you came from. Also, we brothers are taking a risk helping you—when you refine any good stuff in the future, don’t forget our share."

"Yes. As long as senior brother helps me this time, once I refine good Elixirs later, I will definitely send them to senior brother’s cave residence." The man at the bottom of the steps answered with unusual obedience.

The one who had gone in previously turned around and walked back through the gate once more.

The man at the foot of the steps also waited with his neck craned, nervous and uneasy; the worry showing in his eyes was obvious.

However, the disciple of the Purple Light Domain who went in did not head toward the building where Mu Qingge was; he only walked to a secluded corner of the courtyard, leaned against a fake mountain to wait for a while, then retraced his path back.

The Purple Light God Emperor had issued a decree: without his orders, no one was allowed to approach this place; and if the people inside wished to go out, they had to be followed closely.

So how could he possibly defy the God Emperor’s command?

The previous time, he had also simply walked in, waited a while until roughly enough time had passed, then gone out to say that Mu Qingge wasn’t seeing anyone.

This time was the same.

He just didn’t notice that, when he went in to loiter and then retraced his path back, his odd behavior had already attracted Yin Chen’s attention.

Yin Chen mulled it over, then quietly followed behind him, walking toward the front gate.

Naturally, he also saw the person outside the door.

"Yao Xinghai!" A look of astonishment burst in Yin Chen’s blood-red eyes.

Yin Chen truly hadn’t expected Yao Xinghai to appear in the Purple Light Domain. Back in the Middle Ancient Realm, during the period of resisting the Divine Hall, Yao Xinghai had been among the earliest group who brought the Pill Masters of the Alchemy Institute to Luoxing City to assist, and he’d stayed until the very end. Of course Yin Chen could recognize him at a glance.

Yao Xinghai’s appearance was simply too unexpected.

Just then he heard that peculiar man walk up to the gate and say to Yao Xinghai, "You should go back. I’ve already reported your name, but Little Divine Emperor Mu still refuses to see you."

Yin Chen frowned, a thoughtful look surfacing in his blood-red eyes.

Outside the gate, Yao Xinghai said anxiously, "That’s impossible! She can’t be unwilling to see me. You must not have made it clear!"

In his urgency, he actually tried to force his way in, but one of them struck him down with a single palm.

"Cough, cough!" Yao Xinghai was slammed straight to the ground; the pain in his chest made him involuntarily cough twice.

Seeing him in that state, the two at the door burst into mocking laughter.

"You’re just a rookie who’s barely ascended, and you want to fight us? For the sake of the Elixirs you gave us, get lost quickly."

"If you don’t scram, don’t blame us for being ruthless and reporting this to the God Emperor."

The two took turns roaring at Yao Xinghai.

By this point, Yin Chen had already roughly guessed what had happened. He didn’t go out immediately, but instead used their contract to send a voice transmission to Mu Qingge and ask, "Qingge, I just saw Yao Xinghai. He’s outside the gate being made things difficult for by disciples of the Purple Light Domain."

Mu Qingge, who had been speaking with the four people, suddenly froze when she heard Yin Chen’s transmission.

"Yao Xinghai is in the Purple Light Domain!" That truly took her by surprise.

Most importantly, did this mean her friends from the Middle Ancient Realm had already begun to ascend and enter the Divine Demon Continent?

However, she immediately thought of the second half of Yin Chen’s message; her gaze sank at once, and she sent back a transmission to Yin Chen, "Bring him in."

Receiving Mu Qingge’s order, Yin Chen finally walked toward the front gate.

Yao Xinghai pushed himself up from the ground with one hand, the other clutched to his chest. His handsome features were taut, his eyes carrying a few degrees of sharpness and a few of helplessness.

Suddenly he saw Yin Chen walk out from inside, and his eyes lit up at once, as if he’d just seen a life-saving straw.

The moment Yin Chen appeared, the two men standing outside the gate immediately reined themselves in.

Yin Chen said to them, "My Little Divine Emperor has spoken. She told me to bring this person outside in."

The two at the gate wanted to stop him.

But Yin Chen spoke again before they could, "If you feel it’s inconvenient to let him in, then our Little Divine Emperor will have to come out in person to see him outside."

Going out? How could that be allowed!

Their gazes flickered several times.

They would rather stand here guarding the door than go out and follow her around like idiots, wandering back and forth.

After a moment of inner struggle, the two finally stepped aside, opening a path into the gate.

"Come in with me." Seeing them make way, Yin Chen turned to Yao Xinghai and said.
