Chapter 92: Ethereal Void Beyond the Heavens (Part 1)
Late at night, the world is quiet. Inside the bridal chamber, the red curtains hung, filling the room with festivity.
Candlelight, swaying with intertwined shadows.
"Qing Di," after completing the marriage ceremony, Qiu Ping Tian gently leaned on Si Cang Qing's shoulder
and asked softly, "You plan to stay overnight at Biyue Palace tonight, right?"
Si Cang Qing lightly wrapped his arm around his waist and replied, "Hmm."
"Unfair!" Qiu Ping Tian chuckled softly, lightly biting Si Cang Qing's ear, "Today is also our wedding night,
yet you are so biased..."
Even so, there was not a trace of annoyance in the words.
Si Cang Qing lowered her eyes and did not respond.
"On the night of the grand wedding, you left me all alone. Shouldn't you at least make it up to me?"
Qiu Ping Tian was relentless, his lips ambiguously sliding down from Si Cang Qing's ear, lingering lightly yet
heavily on his neck.
Si Cang Qing immediately understood that Qiu Ping Tian was up to something again. Stroking the other person's
smooth long hair, he said nonchalantly, "What do you want me to do?"
Qiu Ping Tian smiled gently. They really do know each other's personalities inside out. When did they even
develop such a tacit understanding?
Joy flowed from his eyes as Qiu Ping Tian wrapped his arms around the other person's neck and chuckled,
"Qing Di, I want to go to the Southern Border with you."
"No," without a second thought, Si Cang Qing decisively rejected the other party's request. The journey to the
southern border was fraught with danger, and Qiu Ping Tian had no martial arts skills at all, so he couldn't be
allowed to put himself in danger.
With a warm smile on his face, Qiu Ping Tian was not the slightest bit surprised and simply said, "Qing Di,
listen to me first. I don't want to go with you to venture into the Heze Poison Forest; I just want to travel together.
The road to the Southern Border will pass by Qiuluo Mountain Villa, and I haven't been back in a long time.
I'm afraid my father knows about this appointment as a Consort, and he should send someone to urge me to go
home soon!"
"So," Qiu Ping Tian gazed at Si Cang Qing softly, "I will go to Yuexi with you and wait for you there. On the way
back, you can accompany me back to the villa, which will only take one day. Qing di, is that okay?"
Si Cang Qing looked at the man with a faint smile and a gentle tone. After thinking for a moment, he slowly
nodded, "Let Mo follow you."
Among the four shadow guards, except Lan who became the queen, Mo mostly became Qiu Ping Tian's shadow
guard, and Zi stayed with Tianbi. Only Xiang still followed Si Cang Qing closely.
Seeing this man agree, Qiu Ping Tian smiled happily and raised his head to offer his lips.
The two kissed for a long time, and Qiu Ping Tian whispered in Si Cang Qing's ear, "Qing di, it's getting late. If
you don't go to Tianbi, I'm afraid it will be dawn."
On the night of the imperial consort's confirment ceremony, Si Cang Qing stayed overnight at the Biyue Palace.
The next day, before dawn, he got up early. The affairs of the court had already been arranged, so he took
Qiu Ping Tian and a group of guards and set off southward in disguise once again.
This time, they were on official business, and the group was basically pushing forward day and night at full
speed towards the southern frontier. After more than half a month of effort, they finally arrived at Yuexi City.
A group of people disguised as a merchant caravan, with Si Cang Qing wearing a veil hat to cover the heavenly
mark on his forehead, rode horses through the city while carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Yuexi City, originally a small town in the southern frontier, is mostly inhabited by local residents. However, at
present, many of the people coming and going in the city are dressed like wanderers or merchants, clearly not locals.
Inside the city, a strange tension hangs in the air.
Si Cang Qing dismounted in front of the largest inn in the city. As soon as he reached the entrance, the crowd
inside the lobby all turned their gazes towards him.
Ignoring these people, Si Cang Qing found an empty table and sat down. Qiu Ping Tian and the shopkeeper
ordered some food and drinks and sat down beside them. They had a place to stay, but... this inn was home to
most of the people from the martial arts world who came here. Perhaps they could get some information here.
The Grand Protector of Piaomiao Palace, who came with him, whispered to Si Cang Qing about the major sects
and forces here. Almost all the martial arts forces were involved.
Si Cang Qing listened silently, lowering his eyes to look at the tea in his hand.
At this moment...
"Pavillion Master Feng!" A joyful cry suddenly sounded, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at the person who was shouting, but saw that it was a young man in his twenties, with surprise
and respect on his face.
That person, however, paid no mind and strode over to Si Cang Qing's table, bowing deeply and exclaiming with
uncontainable excitement, "Pavilion Master Feng, you truly have appeared!"
Everyone was pointing and whispering. At this sensitive time, everyone is well aware of the implications behind
the title "Pavillion Master Feng."
Si Cang Qing lowered his head and sipped tea, not even glancing at the person.
The young man felt a bit embarrassed, but clearly more delighted, and said loudly, "A few days ago, I heard that
Pavilion Master Feng is compassionate and cannot bear to see fellow martial artists perish in the Heze Forest,
and is coming to help. Today, I have indeed met Pavilion Master Feng." Saying this, the man performed another
deep bow, his expression somewhat sorrowful, "Pavillion Master Feng, with your great kindness and
righteousness, and your willingness to help today, our Qingfeng Sect can be saved."
Seeing this person speak so matter-of-factly and sincerely, the originally skeptical crowd in the hall began to
believe him to some extent, and the hall was once again filled with a loud uproar.
◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇
Penglai between worldly affairs, Piaomiao beyond the heavens.
Although the relationship between the two sects has been a hot topic, how many people really believe in the
relationship between Penglai Pavilion and Piaomiao Palace? Of course not. Penglai Pavilion has never appeared
in front of the world. In fact, in the hearts of the people in the martial arts world, Penglai Pavilion is simply a
mythical existence.
It is still worth exploring whether the rumors are true or not. The martial arts world is a place of many
disputes.
Just like the peerless treasures of Tianwei tian, everyone knows that there may be something strange, but recently
there is evidence that it is not only the treasure of the world, but also the art of longevity. As the saying goes,
how many people can eliminate human greed? But no one expected that even if they followed Piaomiao Palace
into it, so many martial arts masters would not be able to return.
For this reason, this treasure hunt has now become a rescue operation of various sects. However, after the
poisonous miasma barrier of the Heze Poison Forest was activated again, it was even more difficult to break in,
and everyone was worried.
Hearing the words of the young man from Qingfeng Sect, everyone was looking forward to it.
Looking at the young man who was left out by Si Cang Qing and was embarrassed and didn't know what to do,
Qiu Ping Tian chuckled and gave him a way out, "Sir, why do you call my young master the Feng Pavilion
Master?"
The man saw that someone was paying attention to him, and immediately said excitedly: "Sir, you don't know,
I ran around a few days ago, trying to find a master to remove the barrier of Heze Poison Forest. At that time,
I met a gossiper in the world. He told me that the Pavilion Master of Penglai Pavilion is a young man in his early
twenties, who likes to wear black clothes, a gauze hat, and has a cold and silent temperament. He also told me
that the Pavilion Master of Feng has rushed to Yuexi City and will come to this inn in person in the next few
days to help the people of Jianghu to break the Heze Poison Forest and rescue the disciples of various sects.
I was also skeptical at first, but I didn't expect that the few people I saw just now were exactly the same as
described by the gossiper, so I asserted that this young man is the Feng Pavilion Master of Penglai Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and began to chatter away.
Si Cang Qing just silently sipped his tea, completely unconcerned with the gazes and discussions around him.
Just silently pondering in his heart, this time, he was schemed against by that person again!
For the first time in his life, Si Cang Qing felt a sense of crisis. That person is skilled in schemes, adept at
planning, and extremely formidable in martial arts. Now, however, he harbors ulterior motives, and every step
he takes seems to follow that person's design. And that person did all these things just to help Yuwen Fengchun
restore the country?
After listening to the young man's words, Qiu Ping Tian's eyes flashed with deep thought, and then he smiled
and said, "This young man, you believe in hearsay so easily?"
The young man quickly explained, "The information provided by Jianghu Bao Ting is never wrong!"
Jianghu gossip? I thought he was just an ordinary spy, but it seems... there are too many things that need to be
carefully investigated. However, it is easier said than done... After all, the man is in the dark, and from this look,
he has put all his energy into the layout.
The young man's explanation was immediately echoed by everyone. In fact, if it were ordinary, who would listen
to the nonsense of an unknown young man? However, when people are in desperate situations, they must grasp
any glimmer of hope, only in this way can they avoid despair.
"Pavillion Master Feng..."
The hall was already in chaos. Many people squeezed over here, some saluted, and some asked for help.
"Pavillion Master Feng, you are kind-hearted. Now you come here, you must also want to rescue the trapped
people."
"Pavillion Master Feng, we all listen to your orders..."
All kinds of words were heard.
The last siege of Tianwaitian did take away a lot of Jianghu forces. These people really wanted to save people,
but... as long as there is hope, greed will not be eliminated. They are probably also lucky, hoping to break
through Tianwaitian this time and obtain treasures or longevity techniques!
Thinking of this, Qiu Ping Tian secretly mocked in his heart, but on the surface he still smiled gently, cooperating
to act like a subordinate, he said to Si Cang Qing in a gentle voice: "Young Master, look..."
Slowly putting down the teacup, Si Cang Qing glanced around, and suddenly an intuition arose in his heart. He
suddenly looked up at the upstairs - no one. That person, this time is in the crowd!
Si Cang Qing stood up, no longer looking at the crowd, and strode out, and the crowd did not dare to stop him
forcibly. He only left a sentence, "Tomorrow, I will go to explore the Heze Poison Forest."
This sentence acknowledged his identity.
Everyone was overjoyed and cheered and thanked.
"Qing Di, are you really going to go in person?" Qiu Ping Tian asked the other party with concern, secretly
feeling somewhat disapproving. After all, Qi Shuangran's martial arts skills are not much inferior to Si Cang
Qing's...
Si Cang Qing gave a faint "mm."
Since that person dares to openly set this trap, he won't back down either! Even someone as indifferent as
Si Cang Qing was stirred by a hint of fighting spirit. Well then, let's see, in this round—who loses, who wins?
Seeing the determination in the other person's eyes, Qiuping Tian sighed, "Qing Di, be careful."
Seeing his worried expression, Si Cang Qing gently embraced him, already somewhat accustomed to holding
Qiu Ping Tian.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
"Mm."
