Chapter 1183: Wentian, I Missed You
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Mo Qingcheng was slightly hesitant as she glanced at Hua Xinyi. She was about to reject her when she heard Dong Linwu continue, "The Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy is a place of resplendence and incomparably vast. If we travel together we will definitely be able to help Fairy. Xinyi, what do you think?"
Hua Xinyi saw that Dong Linwu was smiling at her. She nodded her head, "Yes, Qingcheng. Let's travel together."
"In that case, alright then." Mo Qingcheng recalled the genius who'd blocked her path and couldn't help but nod her head. This Hua Xinyi and Dong Linwu seemed to be very powerful characters, and they were also dao companions so things wouldn't be too awkward. She could only hope that she'd find Qin Wentian sooner rather than later.
"Let's go, we'll bring you around the academy." Dong Linwu smiled. After that, he turned and led the way. Dong Linwu was a heaven's chosen from the Hundred Refinements Sect, a substitute Sage Child character. In the past, he'd experienced a narrow loss to Li Yufeng and had always wanted to avenge that past defeat. However, there was no doubt that Li Yufeng's talent was more outstanding than his.
But even so, Dong Linwu's current status in the Hundred Refinements Sect was still influential. Coupled with his own strength, this guaranteed that the other geniuses within the academy would take care to treat him with a modicum of respect.
"The Hundred Refinements Sect is a peak power for the Northern Regions of the immortal realms. Linwu is a character which has a chance to become a Sage Child—he is blessed with outstanding talent and treats me very well," Hua Xinyi praised with a smile as she walked to Mo Qingcheng's side.
"Mhm, I'm envious of you." Mo Qingcheng smiled in return.
"Given Fairy Qingcheng's beauty, a dao companion won't be too hard to find. Even for someone on my level, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to find them either." Dong Linwu laughed.
"Qingcheng is truly beautiful. However, for a character like you, Linwu, there are few in the academy who match your level, so how can she find them so easily?" Hua Xinyi laughed. Mo Qingcheng was somewhat speechless when she heard their conversation. She continued in a low voice, "You said that the Sky Connecting Realm has a function that can allow one to broadcast a message in the air, allowing everyone there to see it? Is that true?"
"That's naturally true." Dong Linwu nodded his head.
"I wish to enter the Sky Connecting Realm to take a look," Mo Qingcheng requested in a low voice, causing a strange expression to appear on Dong Linwu's face before he nodded his head. "Okay then, let me and Xinyi accompany you there."
"Thank you." Mo Qingcheng thanked him and continued heading towards the Sky Connecting Realm. Dong Linwu walked beside her and Hua Xinyi behind. When Hua Xinyi saw this, an ugly expression appeared on her face but it swiftly disappeared. She then hurried after the two and quickly placed herself next to Dong Linwu as they continued on their way.
"Qingcheng, do you need me to introduce you to some extraordinary individuals to be your dao companion? The geniuses here in the sacred academy are as common as clouds. Just the Hundred Refinements Sect alone has many geniuses qualified for admission. They're all extremely powerful and if you manage to get a dao companion who is from the Hundred Refinements Sect, nobody would dare to obstruct your path in future." Hua Xinyi smiled. However, there was a hidden intention within her curved lips.
"There's no need to, there's someone whom I'm already in love with." Mo Qingcheng shook her head lightly, her footsteps involuntarily quickening in pace.
"Oh? What sort of person is that man whom you love? How is his talent? Which peak power is he from?" Hua Xinyi continued to ask.
"Naturally, he is extremely outstanding." Mo Qingcheng thought that she would soon be able to meet with Qin Wentian and hence, didn't really mind Hua Xinyi's attitude. A smile of extreme beauty flashed across her face as she thought of this. Walking beside her, Dong Linwu was in full view of that smile, and he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. Within the Hundred Refinements Sect, other than his cultivation base being higher, he didn't have anything else that could match up to Li Yufeng.
As for the woman by his side, Hua Xinyi might have an outstanding appearance but how could she even compare to Li Yufeng's lover, Beiming Nongyue, the younger sister of Beiming Youhuang and the little princess of the Darknorth Immortal Empire? But Mo Qingcheng was different. Her beauty surpassed that of Beiming Nongyue and could even stand on equal ground when compared to Beiming Youhuang.
Such a beauty need not have talent that was too outstanding. Even if you placed her at home, you would also feel happy at heart just from being able to admire her beauty. Also, since she could enter the sacred academy, it must mean that her talent wasn't that weak. Dong Linwu could feel waves of emotion stirring his heart.
The three of them entered the Sky Connecting Realm and headed to the central region. As he stared at Mo Qingcheng, Dong Linwu could faintly guess that she wanted to use the realm to find the one she was searching for.
"I'm really curious. Which heaven's chosen is capable of causing Fairy Qingcheng to feel so much longing for him?" Dong Linwu smiled. Hua Xinyi pulled on Dong Linwu's arm as though worried that he would be snatched away. She then teased, "Let's hope Qingcheng's lover is an extraordinary individual. But no matter what, how can he be compared to you? Qingcheng might be beautiful but the man she loves might not even be worthy enough to carry your shoes."
Dong Linwu couldn't deny that this Hua Xinyi was very intelligent and knew what he was thinking about. She even stated such words to ingratiate herself with him, but this only made him secretly happy in his heart.
Mo Qingcheng frowned—she could already sense that the couple's attitude felt somewhat abnormal. When she heard Hua Xinyi speaking of Qin Wentian in this manner, she naturally felt unhappy in her heart. "Although Dong Linwu is very outstanding, I wouldn't use him as a comparison to my husband. Also, my husband isn't as useless as you say."
"Husband?" The eyes of both Dong Linwu and Hua Xinyi flashed. Dong Linwu felt extremely dissatisfied in his heart. Given how pure and beautiful Mo Qingcheng looked, she was already the wife of some man? How could he be happy about that? However, for Hua Xinyi, she was actually laughing secretly in her heart.
Glancing at Dong Linwu, Hua Xinyi could only sigh inwardly. Men were all lecherous creatures—she knew it was impossible for Dong Linwu to be satisfied with just her alone his entire life.
"Being able to carry shoes for Linwu is already overestimating him." Hua Xinyi coldly snorted, unhappiness flashing on her face. Mo Qingcheng's countenance changed. She stared at Hua Xinyi and asked, "How can you talk like this?"
"Mo Qingcheng, this academy has already been open for almost forty years. Seeing that you just entered the academy, your talent must be extremely inferior, much weaker compared to the average genius here. Linwu is a character that has a chance to become the Sage Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect, so there's no way for you to imagine how outstanding he is. Who the hell do you think your husband is? Seeing the level of your beauty, I think it's more likely that your husband isn't worthy of you."
Hua Xinyi coldly continued, "Why don't you serve Linwu together with me? Naturally, you can leave whenever you want after that. I'm sure Linwu won't make things difficult for you."
"How shameless!" Mo Qingcheng was appalled. This Hua Xinyi was clearly Dong Linwu's girlfriend yet she actually could say such shameless words? At this moment, Dong Linwu simply kept to the side and watched them quietly without a word.
"Mo Qingcheng, you should feel honored instead to have such an opportunity. Stop being so thick-headed. Given your beauty, if it weren't for me and Linwu protecting you all the way here, then someone would have probably made a move against you by now. There's nothing wrong with asking for some compensation now." Hua Xinyi continued to speak. Mo Qingcheng's face was now red from anger. Right now, they had already arrived at the central region of the Sky Connecting Realm. Mo Qingcheng immediately rushed towards a stone pillar, and Hua Xinyi couldn't be bothered to obstruct her. She merely watched on in silence and then turned to Dong Linwu with a pout. "Where else can you find such a girlfriend like me?"
"I will naturally treat you well." Dong Linwu smiled, embracing Hua Xinyi with elegance in his bearing. His eyes remained on Mo Qingcheng as she placed her hand on the stone pillar and engraved some words there. In an instant, a line of graceful characters floated up into the air.
Mo Qingcheng stared at those floating words as a look of hope appeared on her face. She then murmured in a low voice the message she had written, "Wentian, I missed you. Where are you now? Qingcheng."
The words in the air echoed with Qingcheng's voice. That soft voice was filled with gentleness, containing an intense longing within. At this instant, many people raised their heads and stared at the words in the air. Many among them had experienced the bell chimes of longing from the Stonebell Rampart all those years ago, when Qin Wentian professed his longing for Qing`er.
As for those graceful words in the air, although they weren't accompanied by the bell chimes from the Stonebell Rampart, one could feel the depth of the writer's emotions just by reading it.
In the past, someone had used the Stonebell Rampart to express his longing. The supreme genius at that time should have been Qin Wentian. Could this Wentian mentioned up there, be that Qin Wentian?
Was there something so coincidental in the world? Qin Wentian used the bell chimes to express his longing for the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. And now, this fairy maiden named Qingcheng had actually engraved words to express her own longing.
Dong Lingwu's eyes flashed, and she stared at Mo Qingcheng as she asked, "What is the name of your husband?"
Mo Qingcheng turned her head to look back at Dong Linwu and replied, "My husband is named Qin Wentian."
Dong Linwu frowned as his countenance changed. He'd heard of Qin Wentian's name before. Two years ago, there was a great battle in the Sky Connecting Realm. Qin Wentian was an extraordinarily powerful individual. Huang Youdi, White-eye, and even the Thundergod's Child Lei Ba, had all been defeated by him.
"I've never heard of him before. You'd better listen to me—having a chance to serve Linwu should be counted as your good fortune. Even if your man came here, he can only turn back and slink away with his tail between his legs." Although Qin Wentian was famous, not everyone in the four academies had heard of him. For example, this Hua Xinyi—she truly had no recollection of his name.
When Dong Linwu heard her words, his frown grew deeper and deeper. Suddenly, he inclined his head and looked at the group of figures that appeared before him. These people all had extraordinary auras, with a man and a woman leading the group. The man was handsome and the woman beautiful, and although her looks couldn't be compared to Mo Qingcheng, she was still prettier when compared to Hua Xinyi. Especially that aura of nobility that she radiated; it was something that couldn't be faked.
"Dong Linwu, you're really growing more and more trashy," that man in the lead coldly mocked. Hua Xinyi furrowed her brows. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you speak to Linwu in this manner?"
Li Yufeng smiled, glancing at Hua Xinyi before shaking his head. "You can also stomach such a woman? As expected, birds of a feather flock together."
After that, the man stared at Mo Qingcheng, feeling somewhat stunned by her beauty. He then smiled. "Are you looking for Qin Wentian?"
"Mhm, do you know where he is right now?" Mo Qingcheng nodded. This person seemed to be acquainted with Wentian.
"I know, but I don't think he's left that place yet. You can wait here patiently for a little while. I believe that someone will come over to fetch you soon," Li Yufeng replied to Mo Qingcheng, causing an expression of happiness to flash across her face. She could sense that Li Yufeng was even more extraordinary compared to Dong Linwu, so there was no need for him to lie to her. However, who would be coming to fetch her? And where did Wentian go exactly? When would he return?!
