Chapter 800: Chapter 293: Reminiscing, Reminiscing, Always Reminiscing
Ye Beimingâs implication was clearâhe was telling Dugu Xiu that Yun Sheng was his fiancĂ©e.
Years ago, Dugu Xiu had already struck out thrice, losing his opportunity.
The two hadnât even started their mission and were already at loggerheads, a sign that wasnât very promising.
Dugu Xiuâs face changed so quickly it could rival that of a Peking opera actor, making Yun Sheng feel extremely embarrassed.
Although she intended to retaliate against Dugu Xiu, she had to maintain peace on the surface at the very least.
Moreover, damned Ye Beiming, what did he mean by saying she was his in the past, present, and future?
Yun Sheng could imagine the looks on the faces of the others on the skyship behind her at this moment.
She stretched out her hand and fiercely twisted Ye Beimingâs waist, his mouth twitching from the pain, but the mischievous smile on his face remained unchanged.
Their subtle movements did not escape Dugu Xiuâs sharp eyes.
Even a blind man could see that the relationship between Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming was anything but ordinary.
If in the past Dugu Xiu thought that Yun Sheng had agreed to a fake engagement with Ye Beiming to avoid him, now it was clear there was a flirtatious undertone to their interaction.
"This palace has not seen the Beiming King for a long time. Seeing the Beiming Kingâs strength surged remarkably, how about we have a contest before we start seeking the Divine Artifact," Dugu Xiu said, gripping his heavy sword, his piercing eyes glaring fiercely at Ye Beiming.
"That suits me fine, this prince was thinking the same," Ye Beiming sneered.
"Prince Dugu, I wonder if the people from the other major powers have arrived yet," Elder Helian wasnât aware of the grudge between these two men, but he could smell the thick scent of gunpowder.
He quickly intervened between the two, forcibly interrupting their imminent clash.
"People from Penglai and Emperor Hong City have arrived, and those from the Magic Temple and Medicine Emperor Pavilion are in the village. Tang Yuan and Li Shao will arrive this afternoon, while people from Xianju and Wuji Commerce of Sky Wing City have not yet arrived. As for Great Zhou, well, I thought the Beiming King would be more aware than I am," Dugu Xiu refrained from causing a scene in front of Elder Helian.
No real swords or spears could be drawn, but Dugu Xiuâs words were laced with barbs; Ye Beiming was a Prince of Dazhou, yet ignoring his motherland, he represented the Elite Camp in this mission.
In the midst of speaking, a few individuals dressed in Great Zhou attire approached.
Upon seeing Ye Beiming, two of them showed a look of pleasant surprise.
"Beiming, you rascal, it really is you," spoke a scholarly looking man with rosy lips and white teeth, holding a folding fan in his handâit was Cheng Bai, one of Ye Beimingâs childhood friends.
Following Cheng Bai were several others, including one who nodded towards Ye Beiming, none other than Bu Jiuxiao from Wuxuan Wuji Hall.
As for the others, judging by their attire, they appeared to be two Mages.
Yet, these two seemed quite mysterious, wearing masks that concealed their true appearances.
Ye Beiming, after joining the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp, never returned to Dazhou.
It had been five or six years since he had last seen his two friends.
When three great men, who had been friends since childhood, met up, even the normally reserved Ye Beiming couldnât help but show a smile.
"You rascal, youâre quite heartless, going off to the Elite Camp and not sending even one letter," Cheng Bai and Bu Jiuxiao walked up to him.
The three men gave each other a firm bear hug.
Some friendships can stand the test of time and hardships; such was the friendship between Ye Beiming, Cheng, and Bu.
"Huh, heâs already a Martial Emperor, look at this lad, such a sturdy frame," Cheng Bai said unreservedly as he sized up Ye Beiming.
Beside him, Bu Jiuxiao was also nodding continuously.
"You two are not bad either, both having broken through to Martial Saint," Ye Beiming also said with a face full of emotion.
"Ah, I heard that Yun Sheng also went to the Mainland Magic Elite Camp," Cheng Bai said as he looked around the crowd, his gaze finally settling on Yun Sheng standing behind Ye Beiming.
"Wow, incredible, that fierce tigress of the past has actually become a great beauty," Cheng Baiâs eyes lit up when he saw Yun Sheng.
In the past, Ye Beiming had a special affection for Yun Sheng, and Cheng Bai had often teased him about it. However, after not seeing her for many years, he realized how much a woman can change; the current Yun Sheng, with her temperament and appearance, was top-notch. Standing next to Ye Beiming, they were hailed as a match made in heaven.
"Brother Cheng, youâre still as talkative as before," Yun Sheng said with a smile, already accustomed to Cheng Baiâs character.
Seeing that everyone was surrounding Yun Sheng, one of the shorter mages who had come with Cheng Bai flashed a hint of envy in his eyes.
But "he" did not show it on his face.
Ye Beiming had also noticed that there were a few unfamiliar faces in the Great Zhou camp.
Especially the two mages, who seemed very powerful, at least at the Sky Level, and the slightly taller one seemed to be even higher than the Sky Level.
"Whatâs the background of those two?"
"Theyâre recommended by the Royal Magic Academy. As you know, the Wuji Pavilion mostly consists of martial artists. This time, for the Divine Artifact quest, it is said to involve some Ancient Forbidden, so for safety reasons, a few mages were specifically invited. Iâm not clear about their origins, but their strength is not weak," Cheng Bai glanced at the two men.
It was apparent that Cheng Bai was not fond of those two.
No wonder, for the Divine Artifact quest, Wuji Pavilion had been preparing for many years.
Previously, Vice Director Qi Tian thought that the Divine Artifact would be unearthed in the short term, so he brought Yun Sheng and others over.
Who wouldâve known that the unearthing of the Divine Artifact would be delayed time and again, and now the Magic Temple had finally found its location.
The positions of those two mysterious mages originally belonged to two of Cheng Baiâs other junior brother and sister, and upon their arrival, they were directly replaced.
Because of this, there was quite a bit of grumbling within the Wuji Pavilion.
Apart from Cheng Bai and others, the Hunter Soldier Union, part of the Great Zhou Alliance Army, also dispatched some veteran hunter soldiers.
Their strengths were also around the Martial Saint level.
After a while, news came that people from Xianju had also arrived.
Hearing that the people from Xianju had come, Ye Beiming paid extra attention.
This fellow was particularly exacting; previously, Yun Sheng had said that her beloved was the Divine Wind King of Xianju, and Ye Beiming remembered it very clearly.
However, to Yun Shengâs surprise, the one who came from Xianju this time was not the Divine Wind King, but the Fire Jade Clan Leader of the Fire Elf Tribe.
When Huo Yu and a group of exceptionally beautiful and powerful Elf Warriors appeared, they immediately attracted everyoneâs attention.
Huo Yu paid no attention to the onlookers, as the elves are a proud race. In their eyes, the Human Clan is despicable, and in this Divine Artifact search, he was unwilling to interact too much with humans.
