Chapter 267 A Woman Who Seems Familiar
Five days later.
Two carriages slowly entered an ancient city called Qiyun City. Duan Zhengchun leaned against the carriage shaft, holding the reins in one hand and a wine gourd in the other.
It must be said that there are many fine wines in the Heavenly Realm, and he has tasted quite a few so far.
In the five days since leaving Tianming Mountain, he has been attacked more than once, all by people from various sects, and they all have the same goal.
The incident at Tianyu Pass seemed to have brought shame to all the sects. What started as capturing him and bringing him back to the sect to report back had later turned into a situation where they were determined to kill him!
However, none of those people succeeded; they were all driven away by Duan Zhengchun. With the blessing of the divine talisman, the Lingxiao Sword was almost invincible.
The name Duan Feng has gradually become increasingly prominent in the Heavenly Domain.
"Xu..."
When the carriage passed a restaurant, Duan Zhengchun finally tightened the reins and stopped the carriage.
After a long journey, everyone must be tired and hungry.
Most importantly, there wasn't much wine left in his gourd.
As the carriages came to a stop, Xiaolongnu and the others stepped out of the two carriages and followed Duan Zhengchun into the restaurant, but Hong Lingbo was the only one missing.
In addition, all the blue-clad guards who were brought into the Heavenly Realm have also disappeared without a trace.
"Please come in, sir!"
The waiter greeted the guests warmly and led Duan Zhengchun and his companions to the second floor.
Nowadays, their clothing and appearance are no different from those of people in the Heavenly Realm, no longer surprising anyone, unless they are highly skilled in cultivation and can tell that they are not cultivators.
As soon as he reached the second floor, Duan Zhengchun was drawn to a figure sitting by the window. He was so captivated by the sight that he couldn't even move his feet.
It was a woman dressed in a purple outfit with long, flowing hair. She was sitting there, gazing out the window in a daze, drinking her wine in silence, as if she had something on her mind.
"What's wrong with Duan Lang?"
Xiaolongnu hesitated for a moment, looked up at Duan Zhengchun with a puzzled expression, and asked softly.
At the same time, the others all followed Duan Zhengchun's gaze to the woman in purple, their brows revealing a hint of hostility.
Because Duan Zhengchun's gaze only ever appeared when he was looking at them.
Duan Zhengchun did not answer, but went straight to the woman in purple and whispered, "Baby?"
His words were full of deep affection, and his eyes were brimming with passion.
"Who is your baby?!"
"If you spout any more nonsense, I'll cut out your tongue!"
The woman in purple was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Duan Zhengchun, instantly revealing a face full of dissatisfaction and disdain.
As soon as the woman in purple spoke, Duan Zhengchun, who had been staring blankly, finally came to his senses. He immediately showed an apologetic expression, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the woman in purple, and said, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
The woman in purple rolled her eyes at Duan Zhengchun, then turned her head away, ignoring him with a cold expression.
Duan Zhengchun smiled awkwardly, turned around and followed Xiaolongnu and the others to another table to sit down, but his gaze kept drifting to the woman by the window.
Because that woman looked exactly like Gan Baobao, the woman from his previous life; they were practically identical.
Thinking of this, the events of my previous life came vividly to mind, as if it were yesterday, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Does Duan Lang know her?"
Xiaolongnu hesitated for a moment, then poured tea for Duan Zhengchun while tentatively asking a question.
At the same time, the other girls also looked at Duan Zhengchun seriously, looking forward to his answer.
"It's just like an old friend."
Duan Zhengchun smiled and replied, then looked away, raised his wine gourd, tilted his head back and took a few sips to calm himself down.
He couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly.
Upon hearing this answer, Xiaolongnu and the others exchanged glances and fell silent, because they did not believe Duan Zhengchun's explanation. They couldn't possibly not recognize Duan Zhengchun's old friend.
Before long, the waiter brought the food and drinks to the table, and Duan Zhengchun immediately invited everyone to start eating.
Although the people present were all a little hungry, none of them seemed to have much of an appetite, each lost in their own thoughts.
Just then, a group of people quickly went up to the second floor, looked around, and walked directly towards the woman in purple.
After noticing something amiss, Duan Zhengchun's attention was immediately drawn to it, and he listened carefully.
However, the two sides started fighting immediately after exchanging only a few words. More than a dozen people drew their weapons at the same time and quickly surrounded the woman in purple.
Faced with the siege of more than a dozen experts, the woman in purple, who was initially strolling leisurely, gradually found herself in a predicament, because her opponents were using almost every means possible, even resorting to some underhanded tricks!
One of them thrust his sword at the woman in purple from behind, while the woman in purple was dealing with the strong attacks of several other enemies and couldn't pay attention to what was behind her!
Just then, Duan Zhengchun instantly stood up, rushed forward like lightning, grabbed the man's wrist, not only snatched the long sword from his hand, but also sent the man flying backward with a single palm strike!
Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhengchun swiftly attacked the second person!
After several rounds, half of the dozen or so enemies were lying on the ground, each one seriously injured!
Upon seeing this, the remaining people stopped what they were doing and stared at Duan Zhengchun, who had suddenly appeared, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"who are you?!"
The leader pointed his sword at Duan Zhengchun and demanded an explanation.
"You are not worthy to know!"
"So many of you are bullying a woman, don't you think yourselves are despicable?!"
Duan Zhengchun coldly looked at the remaining few people and asked them in a livid voice.
Perhaps because the woman in purple looked like Gan Baobao, his eyes were now filled with murderous intent.
"What's it to you?!"
"She has a deep-seated hatred for us, so I advise you to mind your own business!"
The leader frowned and shouted sternly.
"If you don't want to all die here, get out of here now!"
Duan Zhengchun flicked his wrist, and the sword in his hand instantly broke into several pieces!
Seeing this, the leader dared not delay any longer. He immediately led his men to help the wounded man up from the ground, and then turned and left in a disheveled state.
The woman in purple sized up Duan Zhengchun, who had suddenly appeared to help her, and frowned slightly. She was about to ask him something, but before she could speak, Duan Zhengchun had already turned around and returned to his table without saying a word, as if nothing had happened.
A look of confusion flashed across the woman in purple's face. Although she was full of questions, she didn't say anything more when she thought about the unpleasant thing that had just happened, and sat down again.
The meal was rather somber, as everyone had their own questions. Even Lu Wushuang and Wanyan Ping, who were usually the most talkative, became quite silent.
After a hearty meal, Duan Zhengchun paid the bill and, with the women, slowly rose and walked towards the stairwell.
"and many more!"
"Thanks for what you did earlier!"
At this moment, the woman in purple finally spoke up.
Since someone just helped her, she should at least say thank you.
Duan Zhengchun smiled, but did not turn around or stop walking downstairs.
"Who the hell are you?!"
The woman in purple couldn't help but stand up and loudly pressed for an answer.
"It was just an act of kindness, young lady, you don't need to take it to heart."
Duan Zhengchun said something without turning his head, then led the women out of the restaurant and drove away slowly in his carriage.
The woman in purple quickly went to the window and looked at the two carriages that were gradually disappearing from her sight. Her expression became somewhat solemn.
She had already realized that Duan Zhengchun was just a martial artist, but she hadn't expected that a martial artist's skills would be so high that even a cultivator was no match for him!
In the Heavenly Realm, martial artists are a rare sight.
After pondering for a long time, the woman in purple still couldn't figure it out. After hesitating for a moment, she immediately turned around and walked quickly downstairs.
They just fought here, and that group could come back at any time. She didn't want to cause any more trouble.
After leaving the restaurant, the woman in purple immediately mounted a horse tied to the door and quickly headed towards the city gate.
However, just after the woman in purple rode past, Duan Zhengchun slowly drove his carriage out of an alley near the restaurant. After glancing in the direction the woman in purple had gone, he quickly flicked the reins and followed at a distance...
