Too Narrow!
If Qian Lei had seen Yi Xuan's face six months ago, he wouldn't have had any other impressions besides that this person must be a rich young master or a weak scholar.
But ever since the incident at the Artifact Ruins, Yi Xuan's face has been like a demon, its appearance deeply imprinted in Qian Lei's mind.
It can be said that the most important reason why the Gazing Immortal Sect was destroyed was that Yi Xuan killed Qi Yun in the Artifact Ruins, which led to the Gazing Immortal Sect's flawless plan being ruined.
Therefore, in Qian Lei's view, the culprit behind his tragic experiences over the past six months is Yi Xuan.
But when Qian Lei saw Yi Xuan again, he was surprisingly calm.
It was like seeing an old friend. Although she was a little surprised at first, she still smiled and cupped her hands in Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan had already mentally rehearsed countless possible reactions from Qian Lei upon seeing him, but Qian Lei's current state left Yi Xuan dumbfounded and completely unexpected.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Xuan wanted to slap himself twice.
You're asking a highly skilled practitioner who Grain Avoidance Realm Perfection what they eat?
It's also because Yi Xuan doesn't have any serious cultivation masters around him. He only spends time with two people all year round: one is Liang Shi, who is still a novice at the Qi Refining Realm Perfection.
Another one is Zhuo Ning. Although that guy has the strength of an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator, he is, after all, a martial artist. Even if his strength can rival that of Golden Core True Person, he simply cannot achieve the Grain Avoidance from grains that a cultivator does.
When three people who are unable to Grain Avoidance get together, Yi Xuan often forgets that proper cultivators don't need to eat.
Unexpectedly, Qian Lei smiled and nodded, "I haven't eaten yet. There's a nice restaurant up ahead! Want to go sit down?"
After saying that, he led the way towards the restaurant he had mentioned.
Liang Shi, who was following behind, asked in a low voice with some curiosity, "Master, is he your friend? I don't think I've ever seen him before?"
Although Liang Shi's voice was already quite low, Qian Lei, who was in front of him, was of a higher level, so even if he didn't want to eavesdrop, he would instinctively hear Liang Shi's voice.
Before Yi Xuan could speak, Qian Lei turned around and said with a smile, "We're not friends. Strictly speaking, we should be enemies, the kind who would destroy a sect and wipe out an entire family!"
Afterwards, Qian Lei smiled at Liang Shi, as if he were talking about something that happened to someone else, and continued to lead the two forward.
Liang Shi was now in an awkward position. They'd agreed to be acquaintances, so how had they become enemies? And not just any enemies, but the kind that would destroy a sect and wipe out an entire family?
Liang Shi would never believe that his master had ever destroyed a sect or wiped out an entire clan. But at this moment, he seemed to confirm what Qian Lei had said earlier from Yi Xuan's face; the expression clearly showed his agreement.
"What's going on with them? Are they really mortal enemies? When did enemies become so harmonious?" Liang Shi cried out in his heart, unable to understand.
Yi Xuan and Qian Lei, however, walked one after the other with smiles on their faces, like two long-lost friends.
Soon, the three of them entered a very grand-looking restaurant.
When the waiter saw that it was Qian Lei, he immediately bowed and respectfully addressed him as Master Qian, and then led the three of them into a private room on the second floor.
In Yi Xuan's view, Qian Lei seemed to be very familiar with this place. He didn't even ask for a menu, quickly named seven or eight dishes, then asked the waiter to bring a pot of fine wine before sending him away to serve.
"I never imagined that a master who Grain Avoidance Realm Perfection would be so familiar with the dishes in this restaurant!"
Hearing Yi Xuan's words, Qian Lei shook his head with a wry smile, "What master? How could I be worthy of being called a master in front of you! As for being familiar with their family, it's because I often come here to taste their dishes. So what if I've Grain Avoidance? I still have a appetite, and only when I taste these delicacies can I feel that I'm not that high and mighty immortal master, but just an ordinary mortal!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan's eyes lit up.
Yi Xuan had seen quite a few people in the Cultivation Realm, from beginners who had just entered the field and had no sense of qi, to Nascent Cultivation Realm cultivators who suppressed a region and were known as Nascent Soul. But no matter what realm these people were in, they all used to refer to themselves as immortals.
It's like becoming a cultivator means being forever separated from the immortals.
After taking a sip of wine, Qian Lei seemed to open up and poured out his heart to Yi Xuan and his apprentice about his experiences over the past six months.
Although Liang Shi didn't know Qian Lei, he knew quite a bit about the destruction of the Gazing Immortal Sect and Yi Xuan's whereabouts in the Artifact Ruins. After hearing about Qian Lei's experience, he realized that Yi Xuan was indeed the enemy who destroyed his sect and family for Qian Lei.
Having already learned from Yi Xuan that Qian Lei was a master of the Grain Avoidance Perfection), Liang Shi couldn't help but tense up, and at the same time, he put his hand into his Storage Bag to ensure that he could take out the contents of the Storage Bag at any time.
If one could see inside Liang Shi's Storage Bag at this moment, they would find a Black Tortoise No. 2 mecha placed where his hand was touching, which was the one that Yi Xuan had equipped for him.
After recounting his experience, Qian Lei noticed that Liang Shi, standing next to Yi Xuan, was tense all over, so he smiled and gestured, "Who's this? Your junior brother?"
"No, it's my apprentice! Liang Shi! Call him Senior Brother Qian!"
Although he was tense all over, Liang Shi still listened to Yi Xuan's words and called out softly, "Senior Brother Qian."
Hearing Liang Shi's deep voice, Qian Lei laughed heartily, "Junior brother, don't be nervous. Take out your Storage Bag! The Gazing Immortal Sect was indeed destroyed because of your master! But I no longer hate him. To put it bluntly, your master was just a catalyst. What truly destroyed the Gazing Immortal Sect was my master's rapidly expanding heart!"
Yi Xuan nodded. If we're talking about the destruction of the Gazing Immortal Sect, who should be blamed? Yi Xuan, the one who ruined their plans? Qian Lei, the leader of the plan's execution? Or Qi Yun, for his lack of strength?
Actually, it's not anyone's fault. The only one to blame is the arrogant Sect Leader Liu of the Gazing Immortal Sect. First, because the sect had gained a Nascent Soul expert, he tried to take over Azure Cloud Sect with all his strength. However, he didn't expect Xiao Anhe of the Azure Cloud Sect to break through and emerge from seclusion in time, which made them lose both their wife and their army.
After signing numerous unequal treaties with the Azure Cloud Sect, they should have been recuperating and gradually restoring their sect's strength. However, Sect Leader Liu wanted to take a shortcut and meticulously planned to use the contingency plan he had laid out in the Artifact Ruins fifty years ago. But he didn't expect to encounter Yi Xuan, who completely ruined their plan.
At first, Qian Lei also thought that it was all Yi Xuan's fault, but during his time imprisoned in the Xia Kingdom's jail, he thought a lot. When people calm down, they can understand many things, and it was during that time that Qian Lei understood why the Gazing Immortal Sect had ended up in this state.
After finishing his drink, Qian Lei stretched and said to Yi Xuan, "Tell me, what are you going to do with me? I knew this day would come when Xia Kingdom Law Enforcement Team!"
Seeing Qian Lei's composed demeanor, Yi Xuan also downed his drink, then smiled and shook his head at Qian Lei, saying, "Too narrow!"
"What's narrow?"
Your perspective is too narrow!
