Chapter 191 - Old Flame
Lu frowned as he recalled, “That person wears a green robe and he looks refined and elegant, like a cultured scholar!”
Pausing for a moment, Lu grumbled indignantly, “But, it’s all a lie! Who would have thought that the frail scholar would be this powerful? He was so terrifying when he attacked!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengqi’s heart skipped a beat.
A familiar figure flashed across her mind.
In the past four years, this figure had been buried deep in her memories, almost forgotten.
It was only because she had returned to her old home that brought back some of her childhood memories in a melancholic manner.
Upon hearing Junior Brother Lu’s recount of the incident, the first person that came to Shen Mengqi’s mind was Su Zimo.
However, she smiled and shook her head, denying her thoughts in the blink of an eye.
If it was any other time, Xu You would definitely notice something unusual about Shen Mengqi.
However, at that moment, his full attention was drawn in by the girl in pink sitting beside the green robed man. He almost forgot where he was.
She smiled at him tenderly, her eyes curved into crescent moons that were filled with love.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, an exclamation was heard from the chamber.
Shen Nan had obviously recognized the green robed man and his expression changed.
Back then, the impression left on Shen Nan by this man wielding a long saber in the courtyard of the Zhao family while drenched in blood was too deep!
It almost became a nightmare that he could not get rid of.
Even though Xu You and Shen Mengqi were beside him, the fear that was deep-rooted in his memories still frightened Shen Nan into shrieking.
It was a somewhat familiar shriek.
At that moment, Su Zimo finally placed the teacup in his hands down slowly. Turning slightly, he glanced towards the entrance.
Their eyes met.
Instantly, it was as though space had changed and time had reversed.
A series of images flashed past his mind and gradually dissipated.
There was silence for a long time.
Shen Mengqi’s expression was complex.
Su Zimo was slightly startled. However, his eyes regained their calmness before long.
From the moment he stepped onto the path of cultivation, Su Zimo knew that he would definitely meet Shen Mengqi again.
However, he did not expect that it would be under such circumstances, that it would be today.
Four years ago, she left resolutely and Su Zimo suffered a huge blow. He could still remember that heart-wrenching pain till this day.
If not for Die Yue’s appearance, it would have been difficult for him to get out of that ordeal so quickly.
Su Zimo initially thought that he would be filled with resentment towards Shen Mengqi.
He had even imagined that if they were reunited, he would stand proudly before Shen Mengqi and tell her that there was nothing tough about living in a world without her!
However, reality was different from imagination.
Now that he met Shen Mengqi once more, Su Zimo was extremely calm. In fact, he seemed relaxed.
Unknowingly, Shen Mengqi had turned into a passerby of his life and was just an ordinary old acquaintance.
At that moment, Shen Mengqi felt a mix of emotions and bitterness in her mouth.
It had been four years.
He did not seem to have changed much – he was still dressed in green and exuded a scholarly air.
However, Shen Mengqi had just used her Spirit Peering Art and could naturally tell that Su Zimo was now a cultivator.
Furthermore, he was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
How could that be?
The atmosphere within the chamber suddenly became strange.
The disciples of Iridescent Clouds Palace were kneeling on the ground, looking extremely miserable and perplexed.
For some reason, Senior Sister Shen looked distracted and confused after she entered the chamber and caught sight of that green robed cultivator.
It was the same for Senior Brother Xu who was staring at the girl in pink.
No one was bothered about them at all.
