Chapter 44 I Just Miss You
Chapter 44 I Just Miss You (Please Read)
The moment he took the jade lock, Lu Chengfeng could clearly feel the golden light deep in his sea of consciousness between his eyebrows beginning to burn like a flame.
Compared to the last time, the flames this time were extremely intense, and even made him feel a little burning and stinging between his eyebrows.
An irrepressible ecstasy and excitement instantly surged into his heart. A gift from an elder of Xuanhe Peak was enough to make his strength increase dramatically in a short period of time.
"The three heroes in the sect have all reached the level of elders. It won't be long before I am no less capable than anyone of my generation."
Although there have been several twists and turns, now the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is visible. Lu Chengfeng felt as if he had drunk sweet rain, and the smile on his face could not be concealed no matter what.
The little girl Die'er saw how happy he was after receiving the jade pendant. She couldn't help but smile on her chubby face. She thought to herself, "It seems that this guy really likes Qiu Niang. It's a pity that he is too lustful."
Cai Zhang, who was standing by, felt helpless when he saw his senior brother so happy after receiving the jade pendant. He thought that his senior brother was really fond of married women and was so happy even before he succeeded.
"Since we have exchanged tokens, you are my son-in-law." The little girl said in a crisp voice, "It's getting late today, you should go back and rest early to conserve your energy and prepare for the beast tide in the sect."
After the agreement was reached, Die'er's attitude towards Lu Chengfeng became noticeably softer. Not only was she no longer as aggressive and sharp-tongued as before, she was also more respectful and considerate.
Lu Chengfeng finally came back to his senses, carefully put the jade pendant into his sleeve pouch, and then clasped his fists and saluted, "Excuse me, Miss Die'er. Please take me to say hello to Madam Qiu Tong, and tell her that I will come to take her home after I finish my mission in the sect."
"You are too polite, sir. This is all Die'er's job." Die'er smiled slightly, with a faint dimple on her face. "From now on, sir, just call me Die'er. I will convey your words to you without missing a word. Don't worry."
Lu Chengfeng took two deep breaths and managed to calm himself down. "Thank you very much, Miss Die'er. It's getting late. You should go back soon. I'll take my leave now."
Die'er bowed to her, smiled slightly, and turned away.
Lu Chengfeng watched her back gradually disappear into the dim night. A gust of wind blew past, but his chest felt hot and his eyes were full of heat.
"Brother, come back to your senses!" Cai Zhang shouted from the side, "Brother, you are not interested in this little girl, are you? Why are you staring at her back?"
Lu Chengfeng flicked his finger and tapped Cai Zhang's forehead, "What nonsense are you talking about? I, your senior brother, am just a widow, hahahaha..."
He could no longer contain his joy and laughed out loud.
"Senior brother, you are destroying the bridge after crossing it..." Cai Zhang covered his forehead which was hit and muttered gloomily.
"Haha, find time to go back to Bixiao Peak tomorrow. I will tell Su Yi to leave the pills for you in advance. Just go and get them." Lu Chengfeng said as he turned around and strode towards Bixiao Peak.
"How can I be so embarrassed..." Cai Zhang said a few hypocritical polite words, but before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Chengfeng say: "If you don't want it, then I will take it back."
"Yes, of course. This is the testimony of your good marriage. If I don't want it, wouldn't I be letting you and Madam Qiutong down?" Cai Zhang said hurriedly.
"You!" Lu Chengfeng smiled and shook his head. This guy could make up all kinds of nonsense. He was completely different from the taciturn person he was in the mountain before.
"You've been busy for me these past few days, running back and forth, and I owe you a lot of favors, especially during the beast tide. The sect was so busy, and you were still running around for my personal affairs. I know everything, brother."
"You and I are fellow disciples and grew up together. These few pills are just a small token of my gratitude. When you have free time in the future, please come to Bixiao Peak more often. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me." Lu Chengfeng said this sincerely. Although Cai Zhang could not see his expression clearly in the gradually darkening sky, he knew that his brother had remembered his favor.
"Hey, Brother, what are you talking about? Just like you said, we are brothers from the same sect. Running errands is nothing..."
Cai Zhang was also somewhat happy. He didn't have many relatives or friends in the sect. They had all studied together at Bixiao Peak in the past, but it was his senior brother Lu Chengfeng who took good care of him.
After this incident, their friendship became closer, which made him feel an indescribable joy.
After the two exchanged a few more words, they separated at Houdefang and went back to their respective residences.
Lu Chengfeng was really eager to go home at this time. He could not wait to return to his room to meditate and quickly begin to digest the gift from the elder of Xuanhe Peak.
Without caring about his physical strength, he used his lightness skills to the extreme and rushed into the slightly cool night wind.
When they arrived at the foot of Bixiao Peak, the sky had already turned completely dark. Lu Chengfeng saw a dim light in the distance, and he slowly stopped, stunned.
Although it was night, he still saw a woman in a red skirt and a white satin cloak embroidered with golden butterflies. She was holding a lantern and standing in the welcoming pavilion at the foot of the mountain, gazing into the distance.
The evening breeze was quite strong at this moment, making the corners of her skirt rustle and even blowing up her cloak. The lantern in her hand was shaking, and the dim light was flickering.
Lu Chengfeng's original anxiety and restlessness disappeared in an instant. He felt a warm current surge in his heart and his eyes became a little hot.
He took a deep breath and took a step forward, quickly heading over.
"Husband, you're back?" When Lu Chengfeng approached, Luo Suyi also saw her. A look of surprise immediately appeared on her pretty face, and she trotted forward two steps.
Lu Chengfeng first took the lantern with his left hand, then hugged her in his arms, and said distressedly: "Why are you waiting for me at the foot of the mountain so late at night? It's cold at night and not necessarily safe. How can I feel at ease with you like this?"
Luo Suyi was held tightly in his arms, and the cold night wind was immediately blocked. She only felt the warmth of the man's chest, like a stove, which made her a little greedy.
"I heard from Senior Brother Luo Yong that he saw you returning to the mountain, but you left with Junior Brother Cai Zhang halfway. I thought you would definitely come back tonight. It's so late at night, do you have a lantern? The mountain road is difficult to walk on, and I'm a little worried about you." Luo Suyi put her face on his shoulder, put her arms around the man's waist, and snuggled up to him tightly.
"Silly woman, my internal strength has reached the tenth level. Even at night, I can see clearly. Do you still need to worry about me?" Lu Chengfeng felt her attachment and knew that the beast tide still frightened her, so he comforted her gently.
"I...I just missed you..."
Hearing the woman's soft words in his ears, Lu Chengfeng was no longer able to speak. He just handed the lantern to Li Mo, who was protecting Luo Suyi nearby. He had just noticed this junior brother, but had no time to speak.
Then he picked up his wife by the waist, let her put her arms around his neck, and held the woman tightly in his arms, "Junior brother, thank you for protecting Su Yi, I will go first."
His friendship with Li Mo was the deepest among all his fellow disciples, so there was no need for formalities. He just said hello and walked up the mountain.
