My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 280: City God Temple, City God Statue~

Jiang Yan was stunned after hearing this. He seemed to remember that his master had told him that there were immortals in the Ancient Immortal Sect. His master's grandfather was an immortal, the 30th sect leader, and his master was the 32nd.

But then again, he still hasn't met that master yet. He always heard his master say that he was in seclusion, but he never saw him...

Now it seems that there is some unspeakable plot in the middle.

Jiang Yan brainstormed for a while, but he stopped thinking after just a moment.

"This is not a problem I should consider. I am just a scumbag who lives a life of idleness and waits for death. Now I can't even get rid of my own apprentice. Why should I think so much? And since I won't inherit the title of the head, it is even more impossible for me to know those secrets."

After figuring out his position, Jiang Yan suddenly felt enlightened and refreshed. He felt that his future was bright and even the air was so fresh and sweet.

"Hmm? Sweet?"

"Shen Ming!!"

Shen Ming: "I'm sorry to see you in a daze, Master. I can't help it~" (sticking out tongue~)

Jiang Yan was angry for a moment...

Because they have reached the border of the Eastern Liao region, it is time to get off the bus.

The expressway goes directly to Lianshan City!

It’s a pity that there are restrictions throughout Lianshan City. Any cultivator who enters there cannot use magic easily, otherwise he will be discovered, warned, and then expelled.

This rule has lasted for nearly a hundred years and still continues today.

Jiang Yan and his companions were no exception. They could only walk to get there. Even though the relationship between the various territories had eased, it had not changed the situation here. Jiang Yan was somewhat helpless to complain about this.

.........

After getting off the flying boat and stepping onto the ground, I came to the familiar city gate again, and the girl was still beside me~

But the person setting up the stall in front of him has changed.

After entering the city, Jiang Yan wanted to go shopping or something. After all, he was really impatient at Xiaojue Peak and wanted to stroll around more.

In addition, he came in a hurry last time and just had a meal in the inn and left. This time he wanted to take a good walk and return to the old place to get a feel for it.

I want to go back to the place where I first met Shen Ming.

He told Shen Ming all these ideas, and Shen Ming said that he thought so too, so the two of them played while continuing on their journey.

But for some reason, when they were about to arrive at the eastern district of Lianshan City, Shen Ming suddenly changed his mind and said that "hurrying up is more important" and pulled him away quickly without any attachment to the place.

This made Jiang Yan a little confused.

"Aren't you in the mode of reminiscing about the past? Why did you just leave?"

…………

In the eastern district of Lianshan City, two girls with different appearances were also strolling here.

They had also just entered Lianshan City from outside the territory, but they entered from the direction of Jinglan Territory.

"Sister Qiao'er, are you seeing things? The world is so big that there are all kinds of people. Maybe it's just a similar flower..."

"There's no need to be so persistent~"

A petite girl with a round face and lively eyes spoke to persuade him, with a worried look on her face.

The cold-looking woman next to her pursed her lips, had hollow eyes, and looked distraught as if she had lost her soul.

"No... I believe that's him... He must not be dead... He's so powerful, how could he die... I clearly saw him..."

"Xiang Ling, you have to believe me. I can feel that Jiang Yan is not dead. He is really not dead!"

Qin Xiangling didn't know how to persuade her.

In the past few years, she has accompanied Li Qiaoer to travel to all possible places, and she was almost about to betray the sect and travel around with her, but she still hasn't seen even a shadow of him.

This made her feel tired of the fact that Jiang Yan was still alive.

Although she also wanted this to be true, but... the hope was too slim, and the reality was too cruel and hard to accept...

"Sister Qiaoer, give up..."

Qin Xiangling sighed softly and put her hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

But seeing that she was still in a state of dismay and unwilling to listen, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but was quickly covered by determination, and he said sternly:

"Li Qiao'er, what are you insisting on? What are you looking for? What are you longing for?"

"You don't want to believe the fact that Jiang Yan died in the thunder tribulation. Do the Sect Master Chi, whose cultivation is far higher than ours, want to believe it? Do the elders want to believe it? Do the entire Ancient Immortal Sect want to believe it?!"

"Can you change this just by your persistence? It's impossible! You can't do it!"

"Even if a true God came to this world and resurrected him, what would happen? What would happen if you stood in front of him?"

"Will he hold you in his arms and give you what you want? Wake up! Stop dreaming! You and he are from two different worlds! It was impossible in the past, it's impossible now, and it will be even more impossible in the future!"

“He’s dead!!”

There was reluctance, grief, and rage in Qin Xiangling's voice, as if she wanted to completely burst out the emotions that she had suppressed for many years!

The sound was pleasing to the ears and echoed around, lingering for a long time. It was like a devil's sound filling Li Qiaoer's ears, causing her heart to tremble.

“Dead…”

"He's dead! No one can save him! So just give up!"

"........."

Li Qiaoer looked at Qin Xiangling with blank and empty eyes. There was not even a trace of color in her eyes. There was only a dead silence, like two dry wells, without the agility and vitality of the past...

Qin Xiangling originally wanted to say something else, but after seeing her lifeless eyes, she could no longer speak.

"you……"

Qin Xiangling couldn't help but take two steps back. It was only at this moment that she seemed to understand something... Li Qiaoer's feelings for Jiang Yan... didn't seem to be what she imagined...

Li Qiaoer's eyes lost their color and she walked forward unconsciously.

She didn't know where to go, or what to do next...

Does her life seem to have lost its purpose?

Qin Xiangling watched her move forward step by step in silence and did not stop her. Even when she disappeared from her sight, she did not speak to stop her...

She didn't know how to stop it...

Lie to her again? Or believe her news that Jiang Yan is still alive?

…………

"Sister Qiaoer... I didn't expect you to treat him like this..."

Qin Xiangling murmured, she remembered that when the disciples mentioned Jiang Yan in the past, Li Qiaoer would always listen quietly, occasionally smiling faintly with some complex colors in her eyes.

...............

"Benefactor~Benefactor...Mr. Jiang...Senior Brother Jiang~Jiang Yan..."

The dead branches rustled under my feet and crows cried all around me. For some reason, the sky darkened a little, as if it was going to rain.

It was late June but the weather seemed a bit chilly at the moment.

Li Qiaoer was walking alone on a ground covered with dead branches and weeds. She didn't know where she was, she just walked unconsciously...

Suddenly, a set of shabby stone steps blocked her way...

She stopped, slowly raised her head and looked around with empty eyes.

What came into view was a dilapidated City God Temple that was almost about to collapse.

Inside, a cracked and scary looking statue of the City God was staring straight at her.
