Seekers Without Bounds

Chapter 108 The Call of the Desert

"Shi Xunfei, you are so mean. You left me alone and ran away with Guan Ting." Behind Mao Shiba, Lu Zhaohui came riding on a camel.

"Otherwise, we can't disturb your and Nie Xingmou's good time." Shi Xunfei teased.

"Why are you bringing up that?" Lu Zhaohui got a headache whenever Nie Xingmou was mentioned.

"Who is Nie Xingmou? Lu Zhaohui didn't mention her along the way." Mao Shiba became curious when he heard this.

"Talk to me!"

"Let's talk about it later. Just follow me to go somewhere first."

Shi Xunfei first took the two of them to Guan Ting's tomb, lit the long-handled pipe and placed it in front of the grave.

It was a daily routine to light up a pipe in front of Guan Ting's tomb whenever they had time. The three of them bowed respectfully.

"I didn't expect that Commander Guan would leave like this." Mao Shiba sighed.

"Life and death are determined by fate. Let's go, brothers, find a place and have a good reunion. The result cannot be changed, and those who are still alive should work harder."

The aloof Lu Zhaohui could feel the friendship that he had lacked since childhood in Shi Xunfei and Shi Xunfei.

There are only cold and ruthless power struggles in the cotton capital.

Over there, Lu Yansheng and Lei Mingyu were almost fighting to snatch the person, while here Shi Xunfei took the two of them to find a place to drink and reminisce.

The location Shi Xunfei found was in a secluded place outside the city, where few people came.

A simple pavilion made of a pile of stones. The six pillars are made of rubble and topped with a very flat round stone.

It looks a bit like a mini version of the Xuanzhou Stone. Shi Xunfei even engraved wind language patterns on both sides.

During the day, when the sun is strong, you can take shelter under the rocks; at night, you can meditate on top of the rocks and practice wind language with the help of the wind formation.

"A Fei, you really know how to find a place. Others are working over there, but you are just building a pavilion to be lazy." Mao Shiba looked around the stone pavilion several times.

"The tile-stone walls are gone, and I have to rely on my wind formation to block the defense. I don't have time to take care of other things. And Mao Shiba is now under my charge of Youbian Banner, so you better keep a low profile."

"Look how proud you are. These are all specialties from my hometown."

Mao Shiba took out a lot of delicious food from his bag, including pickled sausages, beef jerky, various dried fruits, and even ginkgo wine.

"Your sisters are so nice to you. They come from so far away to bring you so much food." Lu Zhaohui said with emotion as he looked at the table full of food.

"Hey, tell me what's going on with Nie Xingmou." Mao Shiba was still gossiping and asked Shi Xunfei with narrowed eyes.

"Haha, go ask Lu Zhaohui." Shi Xunfei poured all the wine, determined to get drunk today.

“The first glass of wine is dedicated to old Commander Guan. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” The three of them raised their glasses together.

"It's a pity for Guan Ting. If he was not a Wind Whisperer Warrior, he would have become the commander of the Wangcheng Army." Lu Zhaohui also highly praised Guan Ting.

"In Yunchuan, except for the wood warriors, the others are just scraps." Mao Shiba, the earth warrior, also felt this way.

"Who cares? As long as I practice hard, I don't believe that warriors from the outer five elements can't beat the wood element."

Shi Xunfei is focused on improving himself, not on becoming a high-ranking official.

He doesn't need to be feared or revered. He wants to find the flying eagle and the flying swallow.

"Don't be so naive. We are just lucky. If we hadn't been in Washi Village, we might not have had the chance to enter the wine collection." Lu Zhaohui drank the wine in his hand.

"Don't talk about unhappy things, let's talk about interesting things. By the way, Shi Xunfei, I have a letter for you." Mao Shiba remembered something and took out a letter from his arms.

"Was it sent to me by my master?" Shi Xunfei was overjoyed when he heard it.

"Read it yourself." The person who sent the letter was Du Shixiong. Before Shi Xunfei left, he asked him to tell him the truth if anything happened to Old Man Zhang.

I opened the letter with trepidation. There was only one line of words: Zhang Suchen is seriously injured and in seclusion. Don't worry.

Shi Xunfei looked solemn as he read the letter. Was the master really seriously injured? It was impossible for him to return to the God Tree Temple without any news.

It seems that I can only see if the things I left for Chen Xiying can help him.

"What's the matter? I made you worried." Mao Shiba saw Shi Xunfei's worry, took the letter, read it, and comforted him.

"It's just a serious injury. Don't worry. There are so many capable people in the God Tree Temple. They will definitely be able to heal it."

"Forget it. I will go back to the Temple of the Divine Tree anyway. Even if something happens, you can only hide it from me for a while." Shi Xunfei said.

"That's not necessarily true. Don't you know that going from Washi Village to the Sacred Tree Temple is a hundred times more difficult than going to the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition?" Lu Zhaohui suddenly said.

"He originally came from the Sacred Tree Temple. Is it difficult for him to go back?" Mao Shiba and Shi Xunfei both looked at Lu Zhaohui.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just telling you the truth. There are very few warriors from the God Tree Hall in the entire Yingzhou area. That's because of the last words left by the elders of the God Tree Hall after the battle between Nie Xing of Ye Luo and the elders of the God Tree Hall. The wood warriors of the God Tree Hall cannot deploy the Delusion City."

"Oh, there is such a thing, why haven't I heard of it?" Mao Shiba looked curious about how such a situation could happen.

"So when you came to Washizhai, I asked someone to check it out thoroughly." Lu Zhaohui continued.

"Although the Divine Tree Hall received a mandatory transfer order, it would not have been a problem if you had not come, but you came anyway. This shows two things. First, someone must have wanted to harm you, and second, no one in the Divine Tree Hall tried to protect you, even if it was just a small favor."

Lu Zhaohui's words stirred Shi Xunfei's heart, and it didn't matter where he was.

But Master must be in danger! Otherwise, with Master's personality, he would definitely make a mess in the Danhuo room.

"Think about who wants to hurt you."

"It should be Lin Zhan's second division, Tian Boming, Tian Boyan and Huang Weiyong from the mercenary camp." No one else would go to such great lengths.

"The Huang family in Miandu is considered an old-school family of the Wood element. No wonder. Apart from the Hou family, the Huang family's base is the only one in Yingzhou. Le Shusheng's master is the ancestor of the Huang family." After a brief analysis, Lu Zhaohui had figured out why Shi Xunfei was assigned to Washi Village.

"So when the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition took place, Huang Weifeng wanted to cause trouble for you. We should have killed him then."

"Is a nobody worthy of their treatment? But it doesn't matter. How can I get back to the Temple of the Divine Tree?" Shi Xunfei asked.

"It is impossible to go back to the Sacred Tree Temple directly from Washizhai. We can only go to Miandu first. And then see how to get to the Sacred Tree Temple." Lu Zhaohui said.

"The Sacred Tree Temple isn't very suitable for Wind Whisperer Warriors to train. I just need to make sure my master is okay."

Revenge is not his main purpose, finding the person he is looking for and protecting the one he loves are the reasons why he practices hard and becomes stronger.

"Even if you have come to Miandu, you must have a way." Mao Shiba felt that Lu Zhaohui was much more informed than the commander of Washi.

If he hadn't reminded me last time, I would have been killed by the Ye Luo people if I had brought my men around Wa Shi.

"As long as the timing is right, even the impossible is not absolute." Lu Zhaohui kept it a secret.

"Tell me something nice. After drinking this glass of wine, all your worries will be gone." Mao Shiba saw Shi Xunfei's distress.

"I must not go home until I am drunk today."

The three of them drank under the stone pavilion until late at night and then fell asleep on the floor.

At midnight, the moon in the sky was slightly red. Someone was whispering in Lu Zhaohui's ear.

"My child, did you sleep well?" It was Yinniang!

"Mom, where are you?" Lu Zhaohui sat up quickly, but there was no one around.
