Chapter 745: 14.21 Last Violet Star At the dining hall part 1.

Lu Weifeng Sects reception hall...

Everyone had gathered in the hall even the feeble and healing Lu Yi to the Alliance Sect Meeting. They had taken seats at their respective tables waiting for the most important one to arrive.

Sect Master Yun and Sect Master Bai are supposed to sit at the same table but due to their quarrel at the entrance, Bai Qiyin sat at his own table leaving Yun Huaxia helpless. Sect Master Jin tried to sit at the table as Sect Master Yun but was rejected with a gentle yet detached smile saying that they are there for serious business.

Jin Baihua spoke, Brother Huaye. I really didnt know that Brother Lu w.a.n.g isnt poisoned but inflicted by death qi instead.

Yun Huaxia is ignoring him, obviously upset by how Jin Baihua had acted in front of his sworn brother just now. He wouldnt have minded it if he told him honestly that he cant cure Lu Yi as he declared before theyve come here a bit to question the patient and his family about whether they are lying or not is something he couldnt accept. Moreover, it was because he thought that Jin Baihua was capable of curing his sworn brother that he quarreled with his Dao Companion.

Even though his worries about his sworn brother are gone, he is now problematic about how he should get his other halfs forgiveness. Because of this, Yun Huaxia, this usually gentle person, is not in a good mood.

Yun Huaxia spoke with a stern voice and said, Enough. We should focus on what should be done about the graveyard instead. No more nonsense!

.....

Jin Baihua upon hearing the impatience in Yun Huaxias tone could only grit his teeth and avoid his real self from coming out. He wore a kind and fragile demeanor in front of Yun Huaxia. He knew that he was a kind man who wouldnt ignore a person who needs his help or protection.

I understand. Please dont be angry anymore, Brother Huaye~ said Jin Baihua.

Sigh~

Lets resume the meeting as Yun Jieye arrives, said Yun Huaxia.

Lu Er spoke with a meaningful smile. He had always known about Jin Baihuas split personality so seeing him downhearted after Yun Huaxia reprimanded him felt great. He is sneering at his foolishness.

I dont mind, Brother Yun.

While his current thoughts are: Did he really think that he could be more important than my big brother and Bai Ying in Brother Yuns heart? His dreaming ba~

Yun Huaxia no longer indulges in Jin Baihua as he doesnt need his help anymore to save his sworn brother, Lu Yi. Because of this Jin Baihua is in a bad mood.

On the other hand, Bai Qiyin couldnt help but roll his eyes at Jin Baihuas fakeness. Almost everyone at the top of the alliance knew about Jin Baihuas shrewdness and scheming personality even Chun Hongyun-Jun knew but that person doesnt care about anyone except his deceased Dao Companion.

Only in front of his Dao Companion, Yun Huaxia, would he act meekly as if begging for his protection and attention. Moreover, only an extremely good-hearted person like Yun Huaxia would believe his acting.

Lu Yi who is currently a bit weak at the moment felt annoyed by how Jin Baihua is acting. Unfortunately, he is currently too fatigued to show his temper. He could only click his tongue.

Lets eat lunch for now while waiting for Chun Hongyun-Jun to arrive. We can talk about our familys Ancestral Mound after eating, said Lu Yi as he glanced at his younger brother beside him.

Lu Er nodded his head and yelled from the inside, Serve the food and drinks!

The disciples on standby at the side started moving as they served each table with a small feast for everyone to enjoy. The lunch was quite extravagant as each table was served with 3 main dishes of meat and fish, 3 side dishes of vegetables and soup as well as desserts. Since every guest in the hall all have a high standing in their cultivation circle this type of meal is only right.

Everyone started eating as the food was served. Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin were completely quiet as they ate. They had been following the strict manners of not talking during the meals. Each one of them followed their own rules during meal time. Lu Yi was eating with his younger brother who is helping him serve his meal.

Lu Er said to his brother while serving him food, Dage, eat a lot. Brother Hei said youve lost quite a bit of life energy when the death qi spreads in your body. As long as you have a proper diet and rest you would be able to return to your normal state.

Hm. You call him brother? Doesnt he have no memories of his past self? asked Lu Yi

Lu Er replied, He doesnt remember but... for some reason his usual habits remain the same. He is still kind towards those he took a liking to and he is caring for children. Do you remember the sudden attacks from the fierce corpses at the boundary countryside town a few days ago?

Yea. The ones that involve the younglings of Brother Yuns sect? I remember, said Lu Yi.

Lu Er grins and says, The one that protected those children from being eaten was him. Though I dont know his connection to the destruction of the small clan called Du. But Brother Hei was the one who kept those children safe until Chun Hongyun-Jun picked them up.

Lu Yi, ...

That person had never had the heart to see children suffer... mumbled Lu Er with a reminiscing smile on his face.

Everyone in the hall overheard the conversation of the Lu brothers. Normally, they wouldnt eavesdrop on their conversation but Lu Er does not seem to have any intention of keeping their conversation a secret. But most of them could somehow guess what they were talking about. This is especially true for Bai Qiyin and Yun Huaxia.

Hei, who is that? What do you mean by no memories of his past life!? Habits of liking children? You!!! Who the h.e.l.l are you talking about? yelled Bai Qiyin.

Lu Yi and Lu Er shut their mouths, ...

Why the h.e.l.l do I feel that you are talking about my... Deceased s.h.i.+xiong!? Are you joking with me!? I hate this kind of joke the most!!! said Bai Qiyin.

Bai Qiyin was shocked, there was an unexplainable expression on his face. An emotion of disbelief, shock, guilt, and yearning. He doesnt seem to believe what he just heard and was in denial yet deep inside his heart there is a spark of hope that he had been wis.h.i.+ng for all this time.

Lu Er spoke with hesitance in his voice, Brother Ying... Please dont get angry. I am not talking about Big Brother Bai. You know that there is no way I would talk badly of him!

Bai Qiyin who had stayed and watched the life of his senior brother in his childhood couldnt deny that his s.h.i.+xiong indeed treats the Lu brothers as his closest. Though they werent as important as he is to his brother, that person likes them quite a lot.

I... Please forgive my rudeness. I just... couldnt hold back my temper whenever someone mentioned my s.h.i.+xiong. I hope you accept my apologies, said Bai Qiyin.

Lu Yi sighed and said, Apology accepted. Times had really changed. If it was before and Wuan is still around, he would most likely need to drag back in order to apologize.

Yes. I would have definitely acted that way if I still had my brothers protection but... He is already gone. If someone bullies me I have no other choice but to protect myself. Because there is no one who would protect me anymore, said Bai Qiyin with a sad smile on his face.

His silver hair flows like a fall of pure silver. His eyes were tranquil and had a shade of the deep sea. Quiet yet tainted with loneliness and sadness. Seeing him like this, Yun Huaxia recalled the words his other half had spoken before.

Yun Huaxia spoke, Yiner... I...

Dont speak. I am not willing to listen! said Bai Qiyin before walking out of the reception hall. He didnt even finish his meal and left in disappointment.

The sound of the footsteps got farther and farther. Yun Huaxia wanted to follow after Bai Qiyin but was stopped by Jin Baihua.

Yiner! Please... dont ignore me, said Yun Huaxia.

His sleeve was suddenly grabbed and before he could even turn around he heard Jin Baihuas coquettish voice.

Jin Baihu said, Brother Yun~ you cant leave. You havent finished your meal and the meeting is about to begin. You are our designated leader for this event. You cannot forget your responsibilities.

Ha~ this s.l.u.ts antics are all out again~ whispered Lu Er but his tone wasnt lowered plus the silent and awkward atmosphere in the hall, everyone heard his words.

Yun Huaxia immediately pulled away his sleeve and looked unkindly at Jin Baihua.

Sect Master Jin, please have some respect. This one is already tied with someone and has a Dao Companion! said Yun Huaxia.

Brother Yun! calls Jin Baihua with a hurt expression on his face. He looks so fragile and pitiful that Yun Huaxias expression almost softens.

But as if he can hear what Bai Wuan had said to him more than ten years ago. The following words linger in his ears.

A Dao Companion is your soulmate. He will be your other half. A person whom you would share your eternity with once you become immortal. Are you sure that Qiqi can become the most important person in your life? If yes I will pa.s.s his hand to you but remember... If you fail to fulfill the oath you made with Qiqi, I will kill you even if you are AXias brother by blood. Qiqi is after all my beloved younger brother. I will not forgive anyone who would dare to harm me. Regardless of who they are! Remember my words well~

A pang of unknown guilt digs into his heart. As if he had failed to complete the only oath he had made in his life. Yun Huaxias expression is distorted to one of remorse, regret, and anxiety. He glances at Lu Yi as if asking if he can take his place as the leader of the alliance support group.

Being his close friend for so long Lu Yi could already guess what Yun Huaxias glance meant.

Sigh~

Lu Yi spoke, Go after him. The leaders.h.i.+p I cannot hold on to at my current state. Since Chun Hongyun-Jun is here, let him be the one to lead us for this event.

Yun Huaxia clasped his hands towards Lu Yi and the rest.

Please excuse me for a moment, said Yun Huaxia as he hurriedly left the hall to chase after his other half.

Jin Baihua reached out wanting to stop Yun Huaxia but was dodged by the person himself as walked past him as if he didnt even see him. This left Jin Baihua stunned and shocked.

Silence~

The atmosphere in the hall becomes even more tense and unbearable now that two of the five people who were supposed to wake together had left for personal reasons.??e?????o?el. c?

Lu Er had always hated the fake facade of Jin Baihua especially when he tried to control Yun Huaxia by abusing his kindness. Seeing this person he hates with a very ugly look on his face made him the happiest.

Yo~ look what we have here~ your face is hilarious at this very moment. Fake white lotus daren~

Shut the h.e.l.l up, Lu Tian! responded Jin Baihua in rage.

Hmp!

Crown Prince Hong commented, To think even the kindest man in the realm had finally got fed up with it. Heh~

Jin Baihua glared at the crown prince of the Long Dynasty and said, I didnt believe that someone like the Crown Prince would get involved in someone elses problem. I do hope that you mind your own business from now on.

Heh~ Is that so? But this prince loves getting involved with things that I hate the most. What can you even do about it? sneered Crown Prince Hong.

Lu Yi spoke, That is enough. Can you eat your meals at your own pace? So noisy, my ears are ringing!

The other three immediately shut their mouths after hearing Lu Yi complain. Even though he is weakened at this moment among all four of them, he is currently the only person who possessed Nascent Soul Stage like Yun Huaxia. Their strength is only second to the strongest cultivator of the Mortal Realm, Yun Xiajie.

Just when silence had descended in the hall, a disciples voice was heard outside the hall announcing Chun Hongyun-Juns arrival.

CHUN HONGYUN-JUN HAS ARRIVED!!!
