Chapter 706
byWhen Yang Kai appeared, he didn’t hide his aura, so naturally they noticed him.
These six people didn’t forget to be vigilant around them during the battle. Obviously, their awareness was very good. Although they noticed that Yang Kai had no hostility, they still sent one male and one female to feign an attack on the side and closely monitor Yang Kai’s movements, looking very afraid that he would jump out and disrupt the situation.
Yang Kai smiled slightly and didn’t care about their vigilance towards him. When encountering strangers outside, especially during a battle, their actions were undoubtedly very correct.
And the level of the monster beast they were dealing with wasn’t high either, only at the sixth level. Under the combined attack of the remaining four people, it was quickly killed.
After they tidied up and recovered for a while, Yang Kai then stepped forward friendly to say hello and ask about the way.
“Going to Floating Cloud City？” One of the women furrowed her delicate brows and sized up Yang Kai suspiciously. Pointing in a direction, she said, “Floating Cloud City is this way. If you go in this direction, you can arrive in three to five days.”
“Thanks！” Yang Kai couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the place where he came back was too far from Floating Cloud City. The Tongxuan Continent was really too big. If the void passage in the starry sky had teleported him to a very distant position, it wouldn’t be surprising even if he flew for a year and a half.”
“Friend, why are you going to Floating Cloud City now？ The contention for the Thousand-Year Demon Flower ended a year ago. Could it be that you didn’t get the news？” Another rough-looking big man said a word.”
“A year ago？” Yang Kai’s face turned dark. He still underestimated the passage of time. He originally thought that he had only stayed in the starry sky for at most half a year, but he didn’t expect that a year had passed.”
Seeing his surprised look, several people immediately misunderstood him and thought that he was really going to Floating Cloud City to contend for the Thousand-Year Demon Flower but missed the opportunity.”
The three women all pursed their lips and chuckled, looking at him like a fool.”
“That’s right, it ended a year ago. It is said that it was taken by two young people ahead of time, but these two young people are also missing. Now many people are looking for them to buy the liquid medicine of the Thousand-Year Demon Flower from their hands.” The big man said with a smile, “It’s a bit too late for you to rush over now, friend.”
“I really didn’t know that.” Yang Kai became vigilant immediately, thinking that it was time to take off the secret treasure of disguising on his face. Otherwise, if it was discovered by someone with a heart, it would definitely be a trouble.
“Where is the friend from? Why is the news so slow?” The big man asked with a smile.
“From a rural area, the news is indeed transmitted a little slower.” Yang Kai perfunctorily said casually. Before he could speak again, he clasped his fists and said, “Anyway, thank you all. Goodbye！”
As he spoke, he flew away in the direction pointed by the previous woman.
“This person is really interesting, and he is a bit too slow to react.” The woman beside the big man said with a coquettish smile.
“Ignore him. Let’s first see how the inner core of this monster beast is.”
The group of six people is expected to become soon.
Yang Kai galloped all the way. While galloping, he reached out and removed the secret treasure of disguising covering his face, revealing his original appearance.
This secret treasure given to him by Old Du is really useful. If he didn’t have this secret treasure at that time, Yang Kai estimated that he would definitely be pursued by all the Transcendent Realms on the entire continent now.
Just thinking about that fair-faced Zhai Yao would have such an encounter, Yang Kai felt a burst of glee.
However, he has Old Li protecting him. Even if he is found by others, no one should dare to mess with him.
…………
Floating Cloud City, City Lord’s Mansion.
Old Li and Zhai Yao have been guests here for a year, and the three Holy Spirits of the human, demon, and demon races who are the city lord and deputy city lord are naturally extremely happy.
Although they don’t know why they have stayed here for so long, with Old Li as a guest, they also have infinite glory and come to greet them every day. They claim to be juniors and take especially good care of Zhai Yao.
At this moment, Zhai Yao is listening to Old Li’s lecture and learning his alchemy techniques.
Nine months ago. Zhai Yao had already returned. He stayed in the starry sky for three months and obtained unimaginable benefits. This data greatly satisfied Old Li.
He originally thought that Zhai Yao could only stay in the starry sky for at most one month, but he didn’t expect that his apprentice’s performance far exceeded his expectations.
As he was speaking. Old Li suddenly noticed that Zhai Yao was a little absent-minded. He smiled slightly and stopped teaching. He opened his mouth and asked, “Are you worried about that little guy surnamed Yang？”
“Yes.” Zhai Yao nodded. “I should have acted with him at that time. It’s been more than a year and he still hasn’t come back. Teacher, do you think he won’t…”
“If that’s the case, then it’s his fate！” Old Li sat down, took a sip of fragrant tea, put down the cup and said lightly, “Staying in the starry sky for a year, it’s hard for me to imagine that he would survive.”
If it weren’t for Zhai Yao’s insistence on waiting for Yang Kai to return in the City Lord’s Mansion, Elder Li would have already taken him to travel around the world. Although there is also an agreement between him and Yang Kai, with Elder Li’s respected status, waiting for Yang Kai for such a long time is already enough.
“Brother Yang shouldn’t be dead, right?” Zhai Yao’s brows were tightly furrowed, and his tone was a little uncertain.
“It seems you still have some confidence in him.” Elder Li chuckled.
“Yes, in the starry sky, I have witnessed the strength of his physical body！” The light of shock flickered in Zhai Yao’s eyes. “Even after I tempered myself in the starry sky for three months, I still didn’t dare to compare with him at that time. Such a person, it’s hard for me to believe that he just died like this.”
“A year is too long. It’s possible that he got lost or some accident.” Elder Li sighed slightly. “I also don’t want such a person to die young, but if that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do. Yao’er, it’s time for us to leave here. Staying in one place for too long is not good.”
“Teacher, wait for ten more days. If he still hasn’t come back after ten days, then we’ll leave！” Zhai Yao pleaded.
“Alright, then wait for ten more days to see if he can create a miracle！” Elder Li nodded slightly. Just as his voice fell, his expression suddenly froze, and his face became strange.
“What’s wrong, teacher？” Zhai Yao asked curiously. He rarely saw his teacher show such an expression, as if there was something extremely astonishing that had happened.
“Miracles seem to have really happened.” Elder Li looked at him and said.
“You mean…” Zhai Yao suddenly woke up, with surprise and joy on his face.
“Yes.” Elder Li nodded heavily.
“Hahaha, I knew it, this guy couldn’t die. So where is he now？” Zhai Yao asked with a big laugh.
“In that inn.”
“I’ll go find him！ I want to see what this guy has become.” Zhai Yao said and then rushed out.
“Remember to bring him over, I have something to say to him.” Elder Li’s voice came from behind, and Zhai Yao quickly responded.
After his apprentice left, Elder Li’s expression was shocked and he muttered to himself, “A year’s time, could it be that this kid really stayed in the starry sky for a year？ How did he survive？”
The dangers in the starry sky, Elder Li had also experienced. Although it was thousands of years ago, even if time passed for a long time, the starry sky was still the starry sky, and not just anyone could set foot in it.
Half a year ago, Elder Li was sure that Yang Kai probably wouldn’t be able to come back. But seeing Zhai Yao’s insistence on waiting, he didn’t expose it, so as not to disappoint him.
In this world, there are very few people who can compete with Zhai Yao in alchemy. His apprentice regarded that kid as the biggest opponent in his life, and Elder Li was very clear about this.
But now, he found that he was wrong, very wrong！
Wise elders like him all have their own unique insights and rarely make mistakes in judgment. But now, Yang Kai’s miraculous return makes him feel that perhaps it is an arrangement destined by fate.
Shaking his head slowly, Elder Li pondered for a long time and then smiled.
In the inn, Yang Kai’s return made Cang Yan and Fei Yu extremely surprised and delighted.
Over this past year or so, these two Martial Uncles have also been waiting in Floating Cloud City. Although Zhai Yao invited them to the City Lord’s Mansion, they declined politely.
Don’t look at how polite Augustus and the others are to Elder Li and Zhai Yao. That’s because of Elder Li’s status and position.
If Cang Yan and the others really went there, Augustus wouldn’t welcome them.
“You brat, you finally came back.” Cang Yan laughed heartily, and a big stone in his heart also dropped.
Fei Yu’s beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness, extremely alluring with a misty look. Her cheeks were flushed, and she was also staring blankly at Yang Kai, seemingly a little disbelieving.
“Martial Uncle, you’re drinking again.” Yang Kai was extremely speechless. The strong aroma of wine was floating in the room, and it was obvious at a glance that it was Fei Yu’s good deed.
“What’s wrong with having a little drink？ It’s none of your business.” Fei Yu’s red lips wriggled, she glared at Yang Kai, and then smiled charmingly again.
“It’s good to be back. It really worried Feiyu to death. She’s been drowning her sorrows in wine all day. I’m almost smoked to death.” Cang Yan quickly complained.
“Where are Shishu Liwan and Shishu Feijian？” Yang Kai looked around but didn’t see their figures or sense their auras in the inn.
“They’ve already gone back.” Cang Yan explained, “Do you know how long you’ve been away？”
“I know.” Yang Kai nodded.
“Well, there can’t be no one in the sect, so they went back early. Feiyu and I are waiting for you here. Elder Du and Mina have also returned to the Alchemist Association in Jushi City. Now that you’re back, we can leave.”
“I made Shishu worry.” Yang Kai felt a little guilty. Even though he had disappeared for more than a year, when he saw Yang Kai again, there was no suspicion on their faces, only the relief of his safe return.
If it were any outsider, I’m afraid they would suspect whether he got the liquid medicine of the Millennium Demon Flower and ran away.
But Shishu obviously didn’t think so.
“I’m also very worried. What do you have to say, Brother Yang？” Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside. Before the laughter fell, Zhai Yao had already strode in.
Looking around, Zhai Yao scratched his head and asked in surprise, “Where’s Brother Yang？ Didn’t I hear his voice？ Who is this guy？”
While speaking, he looked up and down at Yang Kai, full of doubts and not understood.
