My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 918 - 541: What a Coincidence (Double-Length) (Part 2)

"Are you from out of town, sir? A few days ago, Dragon and Tiger Mountain reopened, otherwise, how could there be a Hero Conference? Various heroes immediately took down many White Lotus Sect members, so no evil people dare show themselves openly around here." The waiter looked excited, evidently longing with admiration, "Once the Hero Conference starts, various heroes making a blood alliance will strike at the heart and eliminate the White Lotus Mother."

It sounded like an atmosphere brimming with vitality, all things competing to flourish.

Originally, it was an invitation for the Taoists to aid with the sword, but it suddenly became an event inviting all Jianghu champions, and even the White Lotus Sect seemed to avoid its sharp edge; Chen Yi suddenly felt it was meaningless to carry the Tai Sha Sword down Lower Dragon Tiger like a fool.

"How nice to have a warm house with a wife and kids in Cangwu Peak."

With the conversation started, the waiter continued without pause, "It's simply a grand Martial Arts gathering, with countess masters battling openly and covertly to make a name for themselves. Even if one doesn't have exceptional skills, perhaps they could be accepted into a renowned sect, becoming a closed-door disciple would be excellent, and even just being a messenger or hall sweeper is the best fortune.

Oh! You asked about odd events and strange happenings, well there aren't any, but there's one good thing—a tribute to the Fox Fairy at Fox Immortal Tower in Dragon and Tiger Mountain, who always stays hidden in the forest. Even many disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain don't get to see her, but this time for the Hero Conference to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, the elite forces of Dragon and Tiger Mountain are all present, including the Fox Immortal, and she'll be part of the offering ceremony to heaven, moreover, it's rumored, it's rumored..."

The waiter's mouth was parched, and after a good pause, he lowered his voice, speaking with excitement and a bit of shy reverence, "It's said the Fox Immortal... is looking for a groom!"

"Looking for a groom?" Chen Yi asked in confusion.

"You wouldn't know, sir, but back when the Fox Immortal encountered a thunder calamity, she was rescued by the Heavenly Master of the thirtieth generation, True Monarch Xu Jing. Since then, she has made her abode in Dragon and Tiger Mountain, helping successive Heavenly Masters ward off plagues, exterminate demons, assist poor civilians in the countryside, and beneath her knee, she has a daughter known as 'Little White Immortal.'

"She must be very beautiful."

"Of course, although no one has seen her, it is said that for years she's been consuming the pure breeze and sweet dew, already a demi-immortal, and quite fond of matchmaking. Lovers who bow before her statue will surely be united, hey, sir you appear quite charming, truly if you go to Dragon and Tiger Mountain, who knows."

Chen Yi pointed to his clothes and said, "I'm still in mourning, so forget it." Finished speaking, he began to reach into his pocket to find some money for a tip.

"Who knows, they might just like a dignified nature." The waiter quickly complimented, "Those who practice Tao just prefer a serious manner, appearance is secondary, as long as one doesn't look like Battalion Commander Chen."

Chen Yi ended up with nothing in his hand.

"Ah, I didn't have much silver coin with me, thank you anyway, little brother."

The waiter widened his eyes, the door suddenly shut tight.

Hey! What a waste of effort talking until dry-mouthed, turns out he was just a poor sod.

As he was thinking, a strong voice suddenly rang from downstairs, "Waiter! Hurry up and bring three pots of good wine! We're a few brothers here, thirsty! Right, tea on this side will be fine!"

The waiter took a quick glance and saw a group of martial artists and Taoists in twos and threes, not daring to delay, he quickly hurried downstairs to welcome them.

Chen Yi went back to his room, placed the meal box on the table, and invited Yin Tingxue to dine.

Although both of their cultivation already allowed fasting without food, they still felt like ordinary married couples, always feeling the need to sit down and eat together each day, otherwise something just felt off.

Especially Chen Yi, he often missed the days cooking at home in the capital, which always felt particularly warm.

While eating, Chen Yi chatted with Yin Tingxue about what he had learned about Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the Hero Conference gathered clans of champions, even the fierce White Lotus Sect had to avoid its edge... In talking, Chen Yi began to ponder the situation.

Dragon and Tiger Mountain specifically requested Yin Sword Mountain to lend the Tai Sha Sword, hence he traveled thousands of miles with Yin Tingxue, despite harboring many doubts along the way, they still arrived as promised.

Now, Dragon and Tiger Mountain's sword aid became a Hero Conference, so be it, everyone is a martial arts master, there's simply an excess of power, just saying, with so many Immortals in Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and a Heavenly Master holding fort, no one had predicted this?

Was it a case that only the Tai Sha Sword could resolve, or were they hoping to borrow with no intention of returning.....

These questions could only be answered upon reaching Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

Also, Zhou Yitang mentioned there would be a fate for Yin Tingxue, but along the journey, apart from flirting with Little Fox, no sign of fate appeared. Could it be at Dragon and Tiger Mountain?

The more Chen Yi thought, the stranger it seemed, but even these things barely count as curiosities, calculating a divination reveals no anomalies, was it just him being overly sensitive.

There's no clear thought either way.

"What are you eating? Smells good." Donggong Ruoshu drifted over, "I want some too."

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow, glanced at her.

"But how should I eat?" Miss Donggong asked puzzled.

Chen Yi picked some food with chopsticks, pushed the bowl towards her, inserting the chopsticks inside.

Wisps of fragrance gathered along the chopsticks, Donggong Ruoshu instinctively learned, opened her mouth wide, and ate up all the aroma thoroughly.

Chen Yi chuckled, took the meal back, and continued eating indiscriminately.

Yin Tingxue silently watched the scene, his brows slightly furrowed,

"Isn't he... eating Sister Donggong's saliva... like he said... indirectly kissing... how shameless... Little Fox couldn't help hoping to meet Master Zhou soon, so someone could manage Chen Yi."

...

The night was faint, thin clouds swept across the sky, strands of moonlight poured over the county town.
