Chapter 67 The Snowstorm Man Doesn't Return

Qin Keqing looked at the youth in front of her doubtfully.

He looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with a black cat on his shoulder and white strips tied to his right arm. He looked ordinary.

However, the way he looked at her at this moment made Qin Keqing somewhat uncomfortable, but she could not say that she hated him.

Ye Hongjian finished the ceremony and turned into the youngest Martial Uncle of the Exquisite Pavilion. The first thing that the young Martial Uncle did after taking office was to send her husband a large number of Origin Condensation Pills.

Little Martial Uncle's appearance and talent were impeccable. Even Qin Keqing , who was far away from Xuanhe Peak, did not once hear her seniors praise Ye Hongjian . She said that she was a rare genius in the past hundred years of Great Zhou. She was comparable to Chen Xuanji and Fang Ziyu , the first disciples of the Exquisite Pavilion.

The only deficiency was that this young martial uncle had a fiance who had cut off his path of cultivation. Ever since he came to the Linglong Pavilion, Qin Keqing had heard many rumors about his arrogance, ignorance, cunning and treachery. She did not feel that there was him, but secretly felt sorry for that little Martial Uncle. It was a coincidence that he was sent to deliver the pill today, which could satisfy his curiosity towards that young master Xu Han.

"Brother Xu! Brother Xu!" Song Yueming shook Xu Han's body and frowned. He felt that it was inappropriate for Xu Han to stare at a woman like this. Moreover, he was engaged.

Xu Han woke up like a dream.

"This is me." He said with a rare sense of panic in his voice.

Qin Keqing did not know his name, nor did she see his appearance. Naturally, she could not recognize him.

Xu Han was well aware of this, but he was still somewhat flustered.

"This is the pill that Little Martial Uncle asked me to deliver." Ye Hongjian was somewhat uncomfortable when he saw this. Thinking about some rumors about Xu Han, she hurriedly handed over the medicinal pills in several medicinal bottles in her hand.

Xu Han was stunned. He remembered that Ye Hongjian had already mentioned this matter yesterday, but he did not want to send it here today. He did not want the person who delivered the medicine to be Qin Keqing .

Xu Han took the bottle. At this moment, he suppressed his thoughts and smiled at Qin Keqing . He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss."

"It's my duty." Hearing this, Qin Keqing cupped her hands in return. However, in her heart, she felt that Xu Han's voice sounded somewhat familiar. She looked up strangely and glanced at him, but she couldn't remember when she had seen this person before. In the end, it was not good to ask more, so he bowed again after returning the salute and retreated.

Xu Han watched as the young girl's figure left. After a few breaths of silence, he withdrew his gaze.

…

After that, Xu Han chatted with Song Yueming for a while. The youth excitedly told Xu Han, After returning to Linglong Pavilion, Sikong Bai first completed the apprenticeship ceremony today, and then announced that a Dao Discussion Conference would be held in a few months' time. From today onwards, he would start inviting the various sects of Great Zhou. At the same time, in order to select the representative disciples of Linglong Pavilion to participate in this conference, the annual Mountain Gate Tournament would start tomorrow in advance.

As an ordinary inner sect disciple, Song Yueming did not have the chance to participate in this matter, but he was extremely interested in it and invited Xu Han to join him tomorrow.

Xu Han thought that he had nothing to do with this leisure time. He also wanted to send this youth away as soon as possible, so he agreed.

After lunch, Ye Hongjian sent a message saying that she was preparing to break through to the Pill Yang Realm. She was taken to closed door cultivation by Sikong Bai . She estimated that she would not be able to see Ye Hongjian for a month. As for Chu Chouli, he was clamoring for the Sword Hall to pay the price for yesterday's provocation. He went out early in the morning to defend. He did not know what he had obtained, but he did not return.

Xu Han once again refined more than ten Origin Condensation Pills that Zhou Zhang had gifted him and repaired two more aperture points. It was still early, so he thought that he would be fine and went out.

After all, Linglong Pavilion was the number one sect in Great Zhou. Even if it was only one of the three main peaks, Zhongju Peak was still extraordinarily large.

Xu Han had never liked to be lively, and his reputation among the disciples of the Chongju Peak had never been very good. Therefore, he chose to walk towards the top of the mountain as usual.

Last night, it snowed again in the mountains, and the entire Chongju Peak was already wrapped in silver by the snow.

Xu Han walked to the wooden pavilion again. However, Zhou Zhang, who usually chose to read here, disappeared. Perhaps he was preparing for the mountain gate competition that would start tomorrow? As Xu Han thought this, he didn't care and walked into the pavilion alone.

This location was almost at the peak of the Chongju Peak , and his field of vision was extremely wide. Xu Han stood in the pavilion. Looking around, more than half of the entire Linglong Pavilion's scenery entered his eyes.

The end was filled with immortal mist, wrapped in silver, and extremely beautiful.

However, Xu Han was a little melancholy.

He thought about his right arm and the voice that came from the horizon that day. He always felt uneasy, but he couldn't grasp the clue.

"Hehe." At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded not far away. The sound was clear and crisp, just like the gurgling of a mountain stream.

Then, a stone, neither light nor heavy, landed on the back of Xu Han's head impartially.

Xu Han turned around vigilantly. At that moment, the black cat on his shoulder bowed up. The black fur on his body stood up like a sharp needle. He let out a mournful scream and his amber eyes looked around vigilantly.

"Who?" Xu Han asked, his expression sinking. The person who made the noise was obviously nearby, but Xu Han could not find where the other party was. He thought that the person's cultivation must be extremely high.

"What a cute black cat." The voice sounded again. Then, Xu Han felt his vision blur. A petite figure flashed by, and the black cat on his shoulder fell into the hands of that figure.

Xu Han was shocked. That person's speed was too fast, so fast that he didn't even have a chance to react. The black cat was snatched away. He looked closely and discovered that the person who attacked was actually a young girl.

The girl looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. Although it was winter and October, she wore a purple gauze dress. Her cheeks were red without any powder, and she was carrying some baby fat. She looked as cute as a porcelain doll.

At this moment, she was hugging the black cat and stroking the hair on its back. The black cat, which had never been close to anyone, naturally did not like it, but for some reason, did not dare to act rashly. She was actually nervously lying in the girl's arms, allowing her to stroke it, but at the same time, she cast a look of help towards Xu Han.

Seeing Xuan'er being restrained, Xu Han's muscles immediately tensed up. He looked at the seemingly harmless girl, but his heart was filled with unprecedented vigilance. To be able to snatch the black cat from his hands so easily and make the black cat so fearful was not an ordinary character.

"Who are you?" Xu Han asked in a deep voice.

"This black cat of yours is not bad. Can you give it to me?" The porcelain doll seemed to be unaware of Xu Han's question. She replied absentmindedly.

"Your Excellency did not ask why you stole my black cat. Isn't it a bit too much to bully others?" Xu Han's expression became gloomier and gloomier. At that moment, the muscles around his body began to swell. It was obvious that he was ready to attack at any time.

"What? Are you angry?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Xu Han, her pair of eyes as big as a full moon flashing.

Humph!

Hearing this, Xu Han let out a cold snort. His body trembled, and he unexpectedly attacked brazenly at that moment, rushing towards the girl.

He and the black cat were getting along day and night, and their relationship was already extremely deep. Although this girl's movements were strange, Xu Han had no intention of compromising.

The so-called lion fighting rabbit also required all his strength. Moreover, in front of him, he was not a lion. Compared to a girl, he was more like that rabbit. Therefore, he didn't hold back at all.

His body was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the girl. He clenched his fist and punched out, faintly carrying the sound of breaking through the air, and he seemed to have the potential to cut through mountains and stones.

"Are you really angry?" Facing Xu Han's violent punch, the girl did not dodge or dodge. At that time, her eyes curved into crescent moons and she said with a smile.

Then, she stretched out one of her hands. Her speed was slow, but there was a strange rhythm to it. It was as if she had already activated some of the power of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Xu Han's fist still landed in front of her face. If this punch continued, one could imagine that that extremely beautiful face would instantly turn into a pool of rotten meat.

At that time, the hand that the girl extended also came to her, blocking between her and Xu Han's fists.

It was an extremely horrifying scene.

One fist was as big as an iron bucket, and the other hand was as tender and white as a couple.

Together, the two made people feel that the difference was too obvious.

But at that moment, an index finger reached out from the white little hand.

He leisurely and leisurely pointed at the giant fist that was the size of an earthenware pot.

Ding.

A soft sound rose in the snow.

Ripples of True Essence rippled through the girl's fingertips.

Then…

At that moment, Xu Han's fierce body suddenly flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

He crashed straight into a dead tree trunk that had fallen all over the leaves in the distance before stopping.

After a few breaths, Xu Han stood up from the snow in a sorry state.

He didn't have time to wipe off the snow stains on his body. He only looked at the young girl at that time, his eyes filled with shock that was so dense that it was almost impossible to dissolve.

His physical cultivation had already grown to the Diamond Realm, a realm comparable to the Three Elements Realm. Even though his talent was as strong as Ye Hongjian 's, he was only at the Pill Sun Realm now, but this girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old in front of him had defeated him so easily.

Then this girl's cultivation has probably reached the Nether Opening Realm, or even higher…

If that was the case, then Ye Hongjian 's so-called exceptional talent was completely different from the girl in front of her.

"Why are you as stingy as that Chen? But take a look, it's not like you said that you really want to rob him!" The girl stamped her feet, seemingly a little unhappy.

"I have never masked my face with you, and I have no grudges to discuss. I don't know how to snatch my black cat so blatantly. Please show me how to let go of my black cat. As long as I can, I will definitely not refuse!" Xu Han cupped his hands and said. This girl's cultivation was extremely terrifying, but she didn't seem to have any intention of harming Xu Han. However, the young girl's control over strength was extremely accurate. When Xu Han fell into the snow, the strength around him had already been removed. Apart from a slightly embarrassed expression, she actually did not receive much damage.

Xu Han was also a visionary. Since he knew that this girl did not intend to harm him, and that he was no match for him anyway, he decided to soften his attitude and probe her.

But who would have thought that the girl's eyes would shine when she heard this, "Is anything really okay?"

"Eh" Xu Han saw the girl's eyes shining, and remembered her strange behavior before. His heart felt a little weak, but his gaze met Xuan'er's pitiful eyes again. Xu Han gritted his teeth and said, "Please make it clear."

With permission, the young girl came to Xu Han with the black cat in her arms. She tiptoed her toes and her eyes were glittering with stars. She looked at Xu Han expectantly and asked, "Do you know how to roast sweet potatoes?"

"Ah?" Xu Han was stunned. Originally, he was prepared to go through fire and water for the black cat, but he never thought that the girl would actually make such a request. Xu Han, who had not reacted for a while, even had the illusion that he had misheard.

"Nah! Over there, help me bake all the sweet potatoes, and I'll return the black cat to you." The girl pointed to the distance.

Xu Han hurriedly looked in the direction the girl was pointing at, only to see a firewood crouching in the snow not far away, as if there were traces of burning, and there were many sweet potatoes scattered on the side.

Only then did Xu Han realize that the girl's words were not a joke. Although he felt strange in his heart, he still walked over for the sake of the black cat.

He saw that the firewood in the snow was somewhat charred black, but it had been burned. On the side, there were a few burnt sweet potatoes that could no longer be tasted. Xu Han looked at the girl suspiciously. The girl seemed to have sensed the doubt in Xu Han's eyes. She lowered her head embarrassedly and muttered softly, "It's all because that fellow surnamed Chen said that he would leave seclusion today. I waited here for him for so long, but he didn't come."

"When I'm hungry, I want to cook some sweet potatoes myself… He cooked them for me before… I cooked them myself…"

The girl finally realized that burning sweet potatoes wasn't a particularly glorious thing, so her voice gradually faded away. In the end, Xu Han couldn't hear her clearly.

Xu Han shook his head. The eccentric Xu Han in the Exquisite Pavilion was already quite common, and he was already used to it.

Then he squatted down and piled the firewood together. He took out a fire from his bosom and lit it up with hay to create a fire.

However, he was not in a hurry to put the sweet potatoes in it, but waited quietly by the side.

The girl at the side was obviously a little hungry. She hugged the reluctant black cat and squatted beside Xu Han. She asked anxiously, "Why aren't you roasting it?"

Hearing this, Xu Han smiled and explained, "The sweet potatoes are roasted with a dark fire. When the firewood is completely burned and filled with new firewood, then the sweet potatoes are put into the old firewood. The sweet potatoes roasted are the most fragrant. En… they won't be roasted scorched."

When the girl heard this, her face turned red and she muttered discontentedly, "Who said that the roasted sweet potatoes surnamed Chen were not made by you?"

Xu Han did not probe into who the person surnamed Chen who the girl spoke of was, but regarding the matter of roasting sweet potatoes, Xu Han thought that he should be considered a master. After all, when he was a beggar back then, he was so hungry that he fainted. He had done such a wicked thing as stealing sweet potatoes, and he was quite knowledgeable about it.

Seeing Xu Han's behavior, the girl curled her lips and did not say anything else. However, she thought in her heart that if Xu Han messed up, she would definitely bet this black cat as an apology. After all, in her heart, that fellow surnamed Chen had done the right thing.

However, fifteen minutes later, Xu Han put the sweet potatoes under the fire and disappeared without a trace.

"Why hasn't it recovered yet?" The girl squatted on the snow, her hands supporting her porcelain-like cheeks as she stared blankly at the fire and urged.

As for Xuan'er, she had long since forgotten about the fragrance that floated out of the fire. The black cat that escaped from the devil's palm hurriedly hid in Xu Han's embrace. It was afraid that it would poke its head out and stare at the fire that emitted a charming fragrance. It was obvious that its mouth was filled with greed.

"Don't worry … only slowly baked sweet potatoes are delicious." Xu Han smiled. In his heart, he felt that although this girl's manner was strange, her greedy appearance was somewhat interesting.

…

Another half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the glaring eyes of the girl and Xuan'er, Xu Han took out a few sweet potatoes that had been roasted golden from the fire with wooden strips.

At that time, a rich fragrance overflowed through the forest.

The girl and Xuan'er couldn't hold back any longer. One person and one cat were going to get it, and the other was going to bite it.

"Be careful." Xu Han kindly reminded Xu Han as he looked at the two "humans" who were reincarnated like starving ghosts. However, the one who was attracted to the greedy insect and the cat ignored Xu Han at all. They tore open the wrapped cortex and began to eat.

As he ate, he said something so hot that it tasted so ambiguous.

Xu Han looked at it with interest and helplessness, so he picked one up and carefully ate it.

"It's delicious. It's even more delicious than the sweet potatoes roasted by Chen. Mm, no, it's just as delicious as his roasted potatoes." In a short while, the girl finished eating a sweet potato. She praised her generously and reached out to pick up another sweet potato on the ground.

"You said you were waiting for someone surnamed Chen?" At this moment, Xu Han no longer had any hostility towards the girl, so he casually asked.

"Yes." Hearing this, the girl nodded heavily. She did not intend to hide anything, but her gaze was still on the sweet potato.

"Who is it?"

"An idiot." The girl bit down a large piece of sweet potatoes with a happy expression on her pink face. However, she didn't know if this happiness came from that idiot surnamed Chen, the sweet potatoes in her hands, or both.

"You like him?" Xu Han ridiculed. Perhaps because of the girl's careless personality, Xu Han temporarily forgot about his previous troubles and had a mood to tease him.

"Yes." Unexpectedly, the girl nodded her head again without thinking, and the happiness on her face almost overflowed.

"The sweet potatoes he roasted are delicious. Mm… He was the one who roasted them for me before." The girl seemed to intentionally want to tell Xu Han how outstanding that idiot surnamed Chen was, but she couldn't grasp the main point.

So she repeated the story of the man and the sweet potatoes to convince herself that if he was willing to roast the sweet potatoes for her, then he must have liked her as much as he liked him.

Xu Han looked at the look on the girl's face and smiled knowingly. He really liked the girl's carefree personality. However, deep down in his heart, he thought of Qin Keqing who had taken a quick glance at him today. He shook his head and shook off the thoughts that had surged in his mind for no apparent reason.

"Then will he come today?"

"Definitely. He promised me that he wouldn't break his promise this time." The girl said confidently. Then, she pointed to the sweet potatoes on the ground and said, "He told me that if I'm bored, I'll bake some sweet potatoes. He will definitely come before I finish eating the sweet potatoes."

Hearing this, Xu Han looked at the remaining ten sweet potatoes on the ground, and then at the girl's height. He secretly felt that the man surnamed Chen was a good schemer.

Of course, this thought also existed in Xu Han's heart for how long. After a hundred breaths, when the girl picked up another sweet potato, it completely dissipated.

The girl looked petite, but her appetite was astonishingly large.

About half an hour later, she had eaten more than ten sweet potatoes, leaving only one left.

The expression on her face also began to darken because of the decrease in sweet potatoes.

The last sweet potato, she ate slowly…

One mouthful, one mouthful…

Every time she took a bite, she lifted her head to look in the direction of the mountain peak, as if she was hoping that there would be a figure she longed for the next moment.

White hair, white clothes, white snow.

That scene had already happened countless times in the girl's heart.

However, no matter how slow they ate, sweet potatoes would one day be eaten up.

The girl lowered her head and looked at the little sweet potato in her hand. She had already eaten it for fifteen minutes.

The sky gradually darkened and snow fell.

In the snow, there was a bonfire, and the young girl and boy sat opposite each other.

After a long silence, the girl finally asked, "Nah … you said that a person promised you time and time again and would arrive before the sweet potatoes were eaten. Why would he miss the appointment again and again?"

Her voice was very soft and cautious, as if she was afraid that something would be shattered if it was a little bigger.

Xu Han was a little hesitant. He looked at the girl who lowered her head and pondered for a while before saying, "Perhaps he has something to delay." At this point, Xu Han was silent for a while and then said, "Perhaps he doesn't like you enough."

"Something's wrong."

The girl shook her head and interrupted the youth. She looked up at Xu Han.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons, as if she was smiling, but there was something crystal clear hanging at the corners of her eyes.

She said crisply at that time.

His voice was firm and serious.

"I brought too few sweet potatoes."
