Chapter 2984
byI am a strong person at the Emperor Venerable Realm and even the master of a palace. I should have such a life, rather than living a precarious life like a lapdog following others.
Secretly decided in his heart that even if a knife is put on his neck in the future, he will not do that kind of thankless thing anymore.
The two beautiful women in his arms had delicate figures, and the exposed skin was shining like the most exquisite porcelain. He touched them up and down, having a great time, and the two women moaned continuously and coquettishly, but it made him laugh heartily and be extremely proud.
Recalling the desolation of the previous period and comparing it with the comfort at present, for a while, he couldn’t help but sigh and secretly feel sorry for himself.
Suddenly, he looked up and out, a smile appeared on his face, and he got up and laughed loudly, saying, “Brother Hua is here. I’m sorry for not greeting you from afar. Please forgive me.”
Outside the door, Hua Xing, who was neatly dressed, strode in. When those young girls who were gracefully dancing and singing in the main hall saw this, they all kowtowed and greeted him, saying “greetings to thePavilion Master”.
Hua Xing raised his hand slightly, indicating that they didn’t need to be too polite. Only then did the girls dare to continue their performance. Perhaps because thePavilion Master had arrived, these girls worked even harder and became even more enchanting and charming when performing. Their eyes were flowing, obviously looking forward to something.
“Brother Li, I’m disturbing you！” Hua Xing clasped his fists and smiled.
Hearing this, Li Jiao smiled and said, “Brother Hua, what are you talking about? It should be me disturbing you. After all, this is your Wind and Cloud Pavilion. You are the master here. Come, come, sit here！”
As he spoke, he invited Hua Xing to the upper seat.
Li Jiao and Hua Xing had known each other for not just a year or two, but for a full hundred years. Back then, when Hua Xing was yì xīn xiàng wǎng wǔ dào , he had traveled through the four regions of the star realm. When he arrived in the North Region, he had some friction with Li Jiao. After a battle, instead of deepening the enmity, they rather admired each other, and their friendship was formed at that time.
Later, they even went to explore a secret realm together, and their friendship was quite good. However, since Hua Xing returned to the Western Region to inherit the Wind and Cloud Pavilion, the two had never contacted each other again.
This time, after escaping from the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm, Li Jiao also came to the Western Region. The place where he settled was a bit different from that of Yang Kai and Zhu Qing and her younger brother. It was relatively close to the Wind and Cloud Pavilion, so he had the idea of coming to visit his old friend.
Although they hadn’t seen each other for a hundred years, Hua Xing wouldn’t forget Li Jiao. Naturally, he warmly entertained him, letting him live alone on a mountain peak, with beautiful women to serve him, and enjoying himself every day, indulging his emotions, happy and free.
Li Jiao had also been biē qū for a long time. Ever since he lost the bet with Yang Kai in the Lingxiao Palace, his life hadn’t been easy.
First, the sect encountered a financial crisis, which made many elders in the Li Long Palace full of resentment and dare not speak out against him. Before this matter was resolved, he was pulled by Yang Kai to the Frozen Ground as a creditor. The things that happened later were simply bù kān huí shǒu . Every time Li Jiao thought about it, he had the urge to cry.
He is the gōng zhǔ of the Li Long Palace! He is a Third-Order Emperor Senior! Even if you look at the entire Star Boundary, he is also one of the strongest among the strong. Without the appearance of a Great Emperor, the Third-Order Emperor Senior is the dài míng cí of the strongest. On weekdays, who wouldn’t be respectful and courteous when seeing him？
But when staying with those monsters like Yang Kai, he couldn’t feel any sense of superiority at all.
Two Dragons, each with a pure xuè tǒng , are Giant Dragons above Rank 8. Just a little Dragon Prestige can make him scurry around and have to serve them carefully. Even that Yang Kai also has the xuè mài of a Giant Dragon. Although he only has the cultivation level of a First-Order Emperor Senior, if they really fight, Li Jiao estimates that he won’t be able to hold on for three moves in his hands.
Those three… are all grandpas. Li Jiao feels that he is no different from a grandson in front of them. Anyone can order him around and shout at him. But he dare not have the slightest complaint or resistance. The momentum and confidence of a Third-Order Emperor Senior have almost been worn away completely.
It’s too humiliating！ Thinking about it is a bitter tear.
So as soon as he got rid of Yang Kai and the others, Li Jiao had no intention of looking for them. He only felt that from then on, the sky was high for the birds to fly and the sea was wide for the fish to leap. If possible, it would be better not to meet them again in this lifetime.
Coming to this Wind and Cloud Pavilion as a guest, Hua Xing treated him well, which made Li Jiao regain his confidence.
He is a dragon descendant, he is at the Third-Order Emperor Realm, he is a powerhouse, a generation of heroes！
These days, he indulged himself well, and the resentment accumulated in his body dissipated completely. He only felt that staying in this Wind and Cloud Pavilion was more comfortable than staying in his own Li Dragon Palace. Although Li Dragon Palace is his sect, after returning, he still has to face a large sum of debts and a repayment period of decades. Thinking of the shirking faces of those elders, Li Jiao’s heart is broken.
How can Li Dragon Palace compare with the freedom and ease of Wind and Cloud Pavilion？ If possible, it is okay to stay here for decades before going back. Presumably Hua Xing won’t mind either. After all, having a powerhouse like himself in Wind and Cloud Pavilion, Hua Xing is probably eager for it.
So when he suddenly saw Hua Xing coming, Li Jiao was overjoyed and was thinking about how to tell him that he wanted to stay here for a while longer.
Brother Li, are you used to living here？” Hua Xing asked with concern on his face.”
Li Jiao laughed heartily and pointed at the girls with graceful figures and charming postures below, saying, “With Brother Hua’s such hospitality, how could I not be used to it? The Wind and Cloud Pavilion is indeed a place of outstanding natural beauty, much better than my Li Long Palace.”
Hua Xing quickly waved his hand and said, “Brother Li is too kind. Our Western Region is originally the most barren and desolate place in the Astral Realm. No matter how good the Wind and Cloud Pavilion is, how can it be compared with your Li Long Palace？ Brother Li must not forget that I have also been to the Li Long Palace in the past, and I know the situation there.”
This sentence sounded pleasant to the ear, and even had the suspicion of flattering. Li Jiao hadn’t heard such words for a long time, and immediately smiled, feeling a burst of comfort in his heart. He thought that there were still many normal people in the world, and those three strange existences were bì jìng shǎo shù a .”
Brother Hua doesn’t have to be too modest. The Wind and Cloud Pavilion is located in the Western Region and can have such a scale and spiritual energy. It is already extremely remarkable. It can be seen that Brother Hua is very good at management. In this regard, I still need to ask Brother Hua for advice.”
Don’t dare, don’t dare. I have no intention of managing the Wind and Cloud Pavilion anymore. If one day I go to the Northern Region again, I hope Brother Li can entertain me. I will be very grateful.” As he spoke, Hua Xing showed a painful and lost expression on his face.”
Li Jiao was shocked and said, “Of course there is no problem with the hospitality. Brother Hua and I have been old acquaintances for many years. If you go to the Northern Region, how could I not entertain you? But… what do you mean by these words, Brother Hua? I see that the Wind and Cloud Pavilion is showing signs of prosperity. If it is managed for another three to five hundred years, it will surely reach a higher level. Why is Brother Hua sighing like this? Is it because you have encountered some difficult problem?”
Hearing this, Hua Xing smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass in front of him with a lonely expression, drank it all in one gulp, and said listlessly, “A family scandal should not be made public. It’s better not to mention it, not to mention it！”
Li Jiao’s face darkened, and he nù dào , “Brother Hua, what you said is not right. You and I have also been old acquaintances for a hundred years. What family scandal can’t be made public？ If you really encounter any difficult problem, Brother Hua might as well tell me. If I can help, I will never stand by and watch.”
A flash of light flickered in Hua Xing’s eyes, but it was well hidden. He smiled bitterly and said”I appreciate Brother Li’s kindness, but…this is a matter of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion.”
Li Jiao stood up and said with a sullen face, “In that case, Brother Hua is treating me as an outsider. Well, since Brother Hua is so distant from me, then I won’t bother you anymore. The green mountains will not change and the green waters will flow forever. Brother Hua, I’m leaving！”
Saying this, he actually strode out, as if he was really going to leave here.
Huaxing quickly stood up, grabbed Lijiao’s sleeve and said, “Brother Li, don’t be angry, it’s Huaxing’s fault, okay？”
Lijiao turned around and looked at him. Since he was just pretending to leave, he naturally stayed shùn shuǐ tuī zhōu and said earnestly, “Brother Hua, back then you and I risked our lives together. Although we haven’t seen each other for a hundred years, our friendship has not diminished. If you have difficulties, Li is willing to help.”
Huaxing showed a touched expression and said gratefully, “Brother Li’s righteousness is high, it’s Huaxing who is narrow-minded！” After struggling for a while, he resolutely said, “Well, Brother Li is not an outsider. I’m not afraid of losing face by telling you these things. Please sit down and talk.”
Lijiao sat down again, personally poured wine for Huaxing, and then looked at him quietly.
Huaxing opened his mouth, sighed again, and drank a glass of wine before saying with pain and regret, “Brother Li, to tell you the truth, Fengyun Pavilion… has been bullied and humiliated, and has lost face during this period.”
“What’s going on？” Lijiao frowned when he heard this. Although he has been a guest here these days, he just indulged in pleasure every day and didn’t pay attention to the outside world at all. The girls who served him naturally couldn’t tell him these things, resulting in his information being a bit blocked.
“Who has the audacity to be so bold！” Li Jiao was furious and slapped the table, shouting in a low voice. In his heart, he was also muttering. Hua Xing’s cultivation level was similar to his. Although he himself was stronger than the average Third Layer of the Emperor Venerable Realm because of his dragon bloodline, even if he was stronger than Hua Xing, the difference was limited.
Hua Xing’s appearance as if he had encountered a powerful enemy made Li Jiao wonder who exactly the Wind and Cloud Pavilion had provoked to make him look so helpless.
Li Jiao secretly regretted that he shouldn’t have shown such boldness just now and should have taken the opportunity to leave. Now it’s good. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get rid of the trouble easily after getting involved.
While being on tenterhooks, he only heard Hua Xing say, “It’s just a bratty girl who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. She killed my son！”
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes became moist in a timely manner. He zhuā qǐ the wine jug on the table and took a swig, as if he wanted to get drunk and never wake up to escape the pain.
“Girl…” A drop of cold sweat oozed from Li Jiao’s forehead, and an expression that made him frightened and jì dàn involuntarily emerged in his mind. He exclaimed, “What does that girl look like？ Does she have… red hair？”
He was really scared. If the woman who killed the YoungPavilion Master of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion was Zhu Qing, then even if he had to fall out with Hua Xing, he would have to leave here quickly.
Although he has some friendship with Hua Xing, just how reliable this friendship is, only the two of them know in their hearts. To offend a dragon race, and a ninth-order giant dragon for this unreliable friendship, Li Jiao’s mind isn’t that bad yet.
