C1466 Important Person
Surprise!
Astonishment!
Surprise, disbelief and extreme joy appeared on Xi Lan's beautiful face. The instant their gazes met, it was as if time had stopped and everything around them had been forgotten.
"City Master Xi, can you help me look at my shoulder? "It's starting to hurt again these days."
The voice of an old woman interrupted their confrontation.
"Oh, okay," Xi Lan hurriedly came back to her senses. As she gestured for the old lady to sit down, she couldn't help but turn back and look at Chu Hen.
Chu Hen smiled and pointed to the ground, telling her to get busy and that he would wait here for her.
Xi Lan nodded and started to treat the old lady's shoulders.
It had been so many years since they last met, but the two were already so close.
Seeing the rows of patients, Chu Hen did not immediately go up to disturb them. Instead, he casually found a seat in the courtyard and sat down, quietly watching Xi Lan.
Time passed minute by minute.
There were fewer and fewer patients in line.
The sun gradually set to the west, the fiery sunset clouds and the white snow peak formed a particularly spectacular scene.
"Thank you, City Master Xi, my old waist is much more relaxed now!"
The last patient was an old man in his eighties, and she thanked him gratefully.
Then he said, "City Master Xi's in a good mood today, right?"
"What?" Xi Lan looked at him in confusion.
"Hehe, I saw you laughing all afternoon! They should be very important people, right? "
The old man smiled kindly.
Xi Lan gave a shallow smile, but he didn't know how to reply. He glanced at Chu Hen, who had waited for him the entire afternoon, and then nodded towards the old man.
"It seems that you are a very important person. City Master Xi, you are a good person.
The old man leaned on his walking stick as he slowly left the courtyard with a kind smile on his face.
Seeing that everyone had left, Chu Hen stood up and walked forward.
Xi Lan also left his position and walked towards the other party.
"You haven't changed at all!" Chu Hen said.
Looking at the young man in front of her who had long since lost his immaturity and was now emitting an imposing air, Xi Lan felt as if she had a vast sea of stars in her eyes. Her lily-white hands lightly streaked across Chu Hen's handsome silhouette, but she was somewhat moved.
"You've grown up and grown taller!"
Chu Hen lowered his head slightly. As he listened to the other party's gentle and caring words, a trace of warmth faintly emerged from his heart.
However, there were also many doubts.
"Instructor, why did you come here? Back then I looked for you everywhere in the Dongsheng State. "
Xi Lan's beautiful eyes slanted to the side as she avoided Chu Hen's gaze.
She shook her head and pulled on Chu Hen's wrist instead, saying, "Don't stand here, come sit here!"
As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of hot tea.
"This is a tea that only exists in Paddy City. Quickly taste it!"
Xi Lan's eyes flashed with a gentle light. Under the contrast of the evening's sunset, she looked warm and attractive.
"How did you find this place? Could it be that you have already seen Princess Huangfu? "
"En!" Chu Hen lightly sipped the tea that was emitting the fragrance, "If she did not tell me, I really would not have known where to find you."
"I'm sorry for the trouble." Xi Lan said with a trace of apology.
"Don't say such words." Chu Hen shook his head, "Back then, when I left the Dongsheng State and came to the Midland, I didn't even say goodbye to you.
"You've suffered a lot over the years, haven't you?"
Xi Lan said softly.
She could see a difference from the past in Chu Hen.
Whether it was the aura that leaked out or the temperament that revealed itself between the brows, it was as if they had experienced countless vicissitudes of life.
"No!" "It's pretty good." Chu Hen laughed.
"Quickly tell me what has happened over the years."
After that, the two of them sat side by side and chatted for a long time.
Chu Hen recounted everything that happened between the two after their Holy Star Dynasty were separated that day in full detail, and Xi Lan listened especially attentively.
Especially when she heard about the dangers that came back to life, she couldn't help but frown and become nervous.
Of course, Chu Hen only skimmed through the dangerous scenes.
He did not explain in detail.
Even so, Xi Lan could not help but feel sorry for what had happened to him in the past few years.
"I didn't expect you to encounter so many things." Xi Lan held her fingers together, sighed lightly, raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and said, "Fortunately, you're still alright."
Chu Hen laughed, "What about you, Instructor? I seem to have heard others call you 'City Master' before. Did you return here to inherit the position of the City Master? "
Xi Lan laughed.
"What inheriting the position of the City Master? Aren't you and I from the same place?"
"That's why I thought it was strange!"
"It's like this. Back then, not long after you went to the Kunliu Mountain, news of 'Remote Antiquity Heavenly Domain' opening arrived at the Dongsheng State."
Following that, Xi Lan gave a general summary of what happened in the past few days.
The Holy Star Dynasty parted.
As the "new Sect Leader", Chu Hen followed the four women to the Kunliu Mountain, while Xi Lan stayed behind.
Not long after, the Remote Antiquity Heavenly Domain was activated, and many Sect s, in order to increase their strength, chose to go to the Baiguo State to recruit new disciples.
Xi Lan, Thousand Feather Sect, as well as many disciples with relatively good talent were all recruited into the "Taiqing Sect".
Afterwards, for various reasons, Xi Lan had left the Taiqing Sect before he had ever been able to reach it.
After leaving the Taiqing Sect, Xi Lan didn't know where to go for a while.
She had wanted to return to Thousand Feather Sect.
However, in the end, they wandered aimlessly and ended up in the Midland by coincidence.
"At that time, I did not know where I would go, and in the end, even I did not know where I would go. Afterwards, when I unintentionally came to this Paddy City, I liked this place immediately, so I decided to stay here for a few days.
Qingsu Plain was a paradise.
And Paddy City, was a paradise within a paradise.
Here, every day with the sunrise, the sun accompanied by a person, although lonely, but the heart is also calm.
When Xi Lan first came here, he was already shocked to the core by the citizens of Paddy City.
Relying on his extraordinary medical skills, Xi Lan gradually gained the respect of the citizens of Paddy City.
And then, he was selected by the people of Paddy City as the City Master.
"The Paddy City is not big and the population is not large, but the people who live here are all very simple and honest, and they are all very kind. I really like this place."
Looking at the clouds and mist in the evening, Xi Lan said each word gently.
Unknowingly, the sky gradually turned dark.
The two of them chatted until night.
At the foot of the mountain, a bonfire had already lit up in the city.
After dinner, the residents surrounded the bonfire, beating the drums, playing the zither, singing and dancing.
"Why didn't you go to the Kunliu Mountain to look for me back then?" Chu Hen asked.
Xi Lan pursed her red lips and lowered her head slightly.
The song at the foot of the mountain grew clearer.
Xi Lan followed with, "Do you want to see a dance?"
"Hmm?" Chu Hen was startled.
"I've been here for two years. Every night, the villagers of Paddy City would dance around the bonfire. I've also learnt a bit."
Chu Hen laughed as he rubbed his nose, then nodded, "Alright!"
"I didn't jump well, so don't laugh at me."
"I won't!"
With that, Xi Lan got up and walked to the front.
He paused for a moment, then slightly raised his feet and waved his arms, dancing to the sound of the zither and drums coming from below the mountain.
The sky was filled with stars, like diamonds that dotted the sky.1
Under the bright and clear moonlight, Xi Lan's dance was as light and agile as a butterfly, as though she was an elf under the moonlight.
Chu Hen watched on quietly with a smile in his eyes.
Gradually, Chu Hen seemed to not be paying any attention to the songs at the foot of the mountain, and what remained in his eyes was only the graceful figure dancing under the moonlight.
He didn't know if Xi Lan's jump was considered good or not.
However, it was as if something had melted in his heart. One circle after another, he touched his heartstrings.
The tip of Xi Lan's foot lightly touched the ground, he glanced back and smiled, and the wind that was like a mountain stream passed through the study room, shining like the light of an ancient city onto the windowsill.
At this moment, Chu Hen was somewhat drunk.
Then, suddenly, Xi Lan's feet stepped on a rock.
The stone was not large, but the tip of the corner was pointing upwards.
Xi Lan who was not paying attention suddenly felt his foot slip, and then his entire body slanted down.
"Be careful!" Chu Hen was shocked, without saying a word, he disappeared into the distance.
"Hua!"
The Qi wave trembled slightly, Xi Lan felt a powerful arm wrapped around her back, following that, a warm Qi enveloped her.
Under the beautiful night sky.
Xi Lan laid down on his side lightly in the crook of Chu Hen's arm. Their gazes met at close proximity, and in their eyes, it wasn't the stars or the sea. It was only the other party's face.
Everything around them seemed to have fallen into silence.
Time seemed to stop.
The two of them could only sense each other's breathing and heartbeats.
