Bai Ying pouted, looking at herself, and Lu Taobao was so excited he could barely speak.
"How can this be, how can this be. Heh."
Seeing Lu Taobao like this, Yi Zhixie and the others all lowered their heads in silence, even stepping back a few steps.
They were really not familiar with this embarrassing person.
Yue Qingxin was still annoyed in her heart, this man was really strange.
The first time he saw Bai Ying, he ignored her, wishing he could hide to the ends of the earth, just to avoid seeing her.
But how long had it been, and he had become like this.
Look at his eyes, fixed on Bai Ying, as if he wanted to dig them out and stick them onto Bai Ying's body.
Lu Taobao actually felt a bit embarrassed about himself, but compared to the joy of seeing Bai Ying, embarrassment had long since flown out of the window.
"Heh..."
Seeing Lu Taobao staring at her foolishly, Bai Ying couldn't help but chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Zifei glanced at Bai Ying lightly, and Bai Ying immediately covered her mouth.
At the same time, she regretted it in her heart.
Really, when things were so serious, she should have been discussing important matters. How could she laugh? This was truly embarrassing for her master.
However, she couldn't be blamed for this.
If she had to blame someone, it was Lu Taobao, who deliberately made her laugh like that.
Thinking this, Bai Ying couldn't help but look at Lu Taobao.
Unfortunately, in those eyes, there was not a trace of killing intent.
There was only a hint of a charming pout, and a hint of coquettishness.
Lu Taobao wanted to return a smile to Bai Ying, but was interrupted by Yi Zhixie's words. Bai Ying's attention was also turned to Yi Zhixie because of Yi Zhixie's words.
"Why have you come?"
Just a simple sentence, and no polite greeting to her senior uncle.
The reason for this was that Yi Zhixie wanted to understand their intentions.
Although he was in the imperial capital, he could roughly understand that besides the entire imperial capital being affected, only the nearby areas outside the imperial capital would be affected.
But Baiyun Peak, which was so far from the imperial capital, would definitely not be affected, right?
He remembered that Fujiwara Zifei and Bai Ying had both said that they were in the depths of Baiyun Peak and had something to do in the mountains.
But now, they suddenly appeared here, which made people a little strange.
Could it be that they had come to the imperial capital long ago, but had not informed them?
Until the events of today occurred, thus they suddenly appeared?
Fujiwara Zifei frowned slightly, this Yi Zhixie was becoming more and more disrespectful.
When speaking to her, he had actually taken on this attitude.
Fujiwara Zifei frowned slightly, somewhat unwilling to deal with Yi Zhixie.
But glancing at the plum grove behind Yi Zhixie, she could only take a deep breath and speak.
"We arrived in Chang'an earlier and wanted to find someone, but we haven't found them. Today, because we noticed that there was an unusual situation here, we came to take a look. Who would have thought we'd run into you as soon as we arrived. What, did you also sense the anomaly here and come because of it?"
As she finished speaking, Fujiwara Zifei looked at Yi Zhixie with suspicion.
Yi Zhixie quickly shook his head, "You are mistaken, this is where we originally lived."
Fujiwara Zifei was slightly surprised, so it was their residence, no wonder they could meet them so perfectly.
Putting this issue aside for the moment, Fujiwara Zifei continued to ask, "Who is the person inside? Is it Zheng Wei?"
Yi Zhixie shook his head when he heard this, "This is our residence."
Fujiwara Zifei was slightly stunned, and then said, "You live here?"
"Yes, we live here." Lu Taobao had also recovered his senses at this moment and quickly replied.
Fujiwara Zifei looked at everyone in front of her, then said, "It seems like two people are missing. Are those two inside?"
"No, there should only be Zheng Wei inside."
Fujiwara Zifei frowned upon hearing this. Why was his tone of voice still like this when he spoke?
Where did that lost and sad expression come from?
Yi Zhixie and the others had no desire to explain for the moment, because what they were most worried about now was Zheng Wei inside the plum grove.
"What caused this?" Bai Ying asked curiously.
She seemed to have heard earlier that it was because someone was cultivating inside, which caused it to become like this.
But she had also cultivated, and let alone such a big commotion, people more than a meter away wouldn't even sense her presence.
Otherwise, if such a big commotion occurred every time, what if the enemy found out and deliberately caused trouble? Wouldn't that be putting oneself in danger?
Therefore, Bai Ying was extremely surprised when she heard that the strong winds and thunder were man-made.
When Fujiwara Zifei heard Bai Ying's question, her expression became serious.
Normal cultivation would naturally not have such a situation, but what if it was abnormal cultivation?
That is to say, without seeing it with her own eyes, she could not rashly jump to conclusions.
Everyone stood outside the plum grove in silence, motionless.
The continuous thunderclaps made everyone a little frightened.
Suddenly, Yi Zhixie said, "What about the children? What if they are frightened?"
Yue Qingxin smiled when she heard this, "You just remembered? It's already arranged."
Yi Zhixie nodded and said no more, as long as it was arranged, it would be fine.
For the next period of time, no one spoke again, and the scene in front of them continued until dawn.
As soon as dawn broke, the strong winds and thunder gradually ceased, and the plum blossoms that had been flying in the plum grove slowly swirled and finally fell to the ground.
When the dark clouds in the sky completely dispersed, a ray of sunlight shone from the east.
Lu Taobao looked in the direction of the sunlight and saw that the sun had risen, but it had not yet climbed high, and the sunlight was exceptionally gentle.
Just as Lu Taobao was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly saw Bai Ying walking towards him with the sun on her back.
Because Bai Ying was backlit, Lu Taobao couldn't see her face very clearly, but he still felt that Bai Ying was as beautiful as a goddess descended to earth.
This scene was deeply imprinted in Lu Taobao's mind for a very, very long time to come.
Yi Zhixie and the others didn't notice Lu Taobao's abnormality, because just as they were about to enter the plum grove, a person walked out from inside.
The man wore a black robe with gold trim. As he walked, the robe moved as if it had a life of its own, without any wind.
He was like a god descending, and although each step was silent, it seemed as if the earth trembled with his every stride.
His face was exceptionally handsome, yet also extremely stern.
His eyes were like the deep sea, and just one glance could suck a person in fiercely.
Or like the black ice of the deep sea, capable of easily freezing a person into an ice stick.
Silver light flashed in his pupils, and upon closer inspection, one could see that they were actually streaks of lightning.
Yi Zhixie stared blankly as Zheng Wei walked step by step. Due to extreme shock, his mouth was wide open, but he didn't realize it himself.
When Zheng Wei reached him, he opened his mouth wide again. This time, due to excessive force, his jaw actually dislocated.
The pain brought Yi Zhixie back to his senses, but his attention was not on that.
"Zheng Wei?"
Zheng Wei heard this and turned his head slightly, looked at Yi Zhixie, and gave a faint hum.
Hearing Zheng Wei's familiar voice, Yi Zhixie finally believed that the person in front of him was indeed Zheng Wei.
Yi Zhixie held his jaw and, with a slight effort, put it back in place.
Rubbing his jaw, Yi Zhixie kept circling Zheng Wei, examining him from head to toe.
"I say, this change is too drastic, isn't it? You didn't undergo rebirth, did you?"
Zheng Wei ignored Yi Zhixie's words and looked at Fujiwara Zifei, "I heard you say earlier that you came to the imperial capital to find someone. Who are you looking for?"
Fujiwara Zifei frowned when she heard this. At that time, shouldn't Zheng Wei have been focusing on cultivation? Why would he have heard their conversation?
Moreover, Zheng Wei's tone of voice truly annoyed her.
She was of noble status and had high cultivation. No one had ever dared to speak to her in such a tone.
However, Fujiwara Zifei was not an overly pretentious person. Most of these people were unaware of these things, and she really didn't need to put on airs. Therefore, she said, "No."
Zheng Wei's expression remained unchanged, and he asked again, "Are you looking for an old man who is addicted to alcohol?"
Fujiwara Zifei's pupils widened slightly, "How did you know?"
Zheng Wei did not answer Fujiwara Zifei's question, but simply nodded, "If that's the case, you can stay. After all, we can find him soon."
After speaking, Zheng Wei strode out of the plum grove.
Everyone stood rooted to the spot, watching Zheng Wei's departing figure, all somewhat dazed.
It had only been a day, how could one person undergo such a drastic change?
This change was not just in appearance, but more importantly, in aura.
Zheng Wei now was truly like a god possessing him. Just a simple conversation made people feel an immense pressure.
