Chapter 257 Qin Muyang is back
The masked man remained silent, then turned to leave.
"Do you think Qingyun Sect is a place you can come and go as you please?" Luo Zejian blocked the masked man's path, and Xie Wanning calmly approached the masked man.
"Since you're here, why don't you stay?" Xie Wanning said expectantly, looking up at the masked man.
The masked man remained silent, unconsciously taking a step back.
Xie Wanning grabbed the masked man by the collar and reached out to remove his hood.
The masked man held a folding fan, concealing his face.
Xie Wanning smiled and took a step forward, grabbing the man's fan.
She tiptoed, let out a soft sigh, and smiled, "Sect Leader Qin, how have you been?"
The masked man chuckled helplessly, no longer dodging Xie Wanning's outstretched hand, and allowed Xie Wanning to remove the black cloth covering his face.
And that face was none other than Qin Muyang.
"You still found out." Qin Muyang raised an eyebrow, a smile in his eyes.
"Qin Muyang!" Xie Wanning threw herself into Qin Muyang's arms, her body trembling slightly, her voice filled with excitement and joy: "You're still alive, that's wonderful."
"It's alright, Wan Ning, I'm back." Qin Muyang gently patted Xie Wan Ning's back, his eyes instantly reddening, his lips trembling slightly, and the muscles on his face twitching with excitement. He hugged her tightly, their bodies pressed close together.
Xie Wanning looked up, tears welling in her eyes, and asked with some confusion, "Qin Muyang, you're back, why are you avoiding me? You don't know how worried I've been about you. What would I do if something really happened to you?"
Xie Wanning's words carried a hint of grievance. Her nose stung with tears, and she clenched her palms tightly, staring intently at Qin Muyang.
"I..." Qin Muyang turned his head away and gave a bitter smile: "I have nothing left now, and I don't want to come to see you like this."
"Nothing? Is it the identity of the Black Market Pavilion Master, or the status of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's top disciple? Qin Muyang, what I value is not what you possess, but you as a person," Xie Wanning said indignantly. However, when she saw Qin Muyang's tattered clothes and his much thinner face, a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart.
When she first met Qin Muyang, he was a mysterious and noble Black Market Lord, and naturally he was full of confidence.
Qin Muyang is probably unable to accept his current situation.
"Qin Muyang," Xie Wanning called softly.
Qin Muyang lowered his head upon hearing the sound, concealing the disappointment in his eyes.
Suddenly, Xie Wanning took a deep breath, as if gathering all her courage. She slightly bent her knees, slowly rose onto her tiptoes, leaned her body forward gently, and slowly closed her eyes.
Her movements were gentle and slow, as if afraid to disturb the beauty of this moment. A gentle breeze stirred, ruffling her hair, a few strands lightly brushing against Qin Muyang's face. Just as her lips were about to touch Qin Muyang's cheek, time seemed to freeze.
Finally, her lips gently pressed against Qin Muyang's cheek, like a feather falling softly. In that instant, Xie Wanning felt her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of her chest, and a burning blush spread across her face.
Qin Muyang was taken aback by this sudden action. A look of surprise flashed across his face, which was then replaced by tenderness.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, Wan Ning."
“No, I should apologize. I dragged you into this mess, causing you to fall into the Sea of Chaos. How are you feeling? How have you been all these years?” Xie Wanning asked with concern.
"I'm fine." He said, a reassuring smile spreading across his face.
Xie Wanning glanced at Qin Muyang, but did not press the matter further.
She believed in Qin Muyang.
"Cough cough!"
Xie Wanning was about to speak when she was drawn to a voice from the side.
Tian Ruochun cleared her throat, her smile slightly stiff. After hesitating for a moment, she stammered, "Sister Wan Ning, when you went to challenge Wan Xun, the sect leader, the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and the Demon Emperor were all waiting for news of you. So, how did your talk with Wan Xun go?"
"It's settled. The human race and the demon race have officially ceased hostilities." Xie Wanning replied with a light smile, "Xiao Tian, organize a sect meeting; I have something to announce."
"Okay. I'll pass on the message as soon as possible," Tian Ruochun replied, and quickly left.
"Wan Ning, should I now address you as Sect Leader Xie?"
"Stop teasing me. Qin Muyang, how about we go to the black market?" Xie Wanning blinked and handed Qin Muyang a white token: "You, the legitimate sect leader, should also go back."
"it is good."
That night, the black market.
Guo Futing stood respectfully at the door and bowed, a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Welcome back, Pavilion Master."
Qin Muyang waved and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Guo Futing, you've worked hard these past few years."
“It’s not hard work. It’s Fellow Daoist Xie who has been managing the black market for the past few years. Fellow Daoist Xie has done his best to suppress the several riots in the black market, which is why the black market can continue to operate.” Guo Futing looked at Xie Wanning gratefully.
"I understand."
Inside the Pavilion Master's secret chamber.
"Wan Ning, why are you the head of the black market? I remember handing it over to Si Jinchuan." Qin Muyang asked, puzzled.
“He’s dead,” Xie Wanning replied. “Moreover, the deputy head of the Black Market, who is also your second junior brother, betrayed the sect and the Black Market and became a member of the Heavenly Dao.”
Qin Muyang froze in his seat, his eyes wide, his mouth slightly agape, his face filled with shock. His mind went blank, as if he couldn't comprehend what he had just heard.
"Second Brother, how could this be..."
Xie Wanning could only tell Qin Muyang everything about the trial in the Tianji Pavilion secret realm, and then spread her hands regretfully.
After hearing this, Qin Muyang sighed heavily.
"As for Si Jinchuan, he was killed by Yan Ze." Xie Wanning didn't want to mention what happened back then, so she could only tell Qin Muyang the facts in general terms.
But Qin Muyang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"However, Qin Muyang, I've always had a question: why did you entrust the black market to Si Jinchuan in the first place? In my memory, your relationship wasn't that good. Why would you hand over such an important place as the black market to Si Jinchuan?" Xie Wanning asked solemnly. She needed to figure out how Si Jinchuan had persuaded Qin Muyang, and she didn't believe that Qin Muyang was such a reckless person.
"It's a long story." Qin Muyang shook his head, resting his chin on his hands as he recalled the events of that night.
The night was dark, and the moon was obscured by dark clouds.
Dozens of figures darted about in the woods next to the Shadow Pavilion.
“Sect Master, we usually just run a small business and don’t have much cultivation. Isn’t it too difficult for us to go against the Shadow Pavilion?” Someone in the group raised an objection as they approached the gate of the Shadow Pavilion.
Qin Muyang glared at the man, then turned to look at the heavily guarded Black Shadow Pavilion, his heart wavering for a moment.
"Don't come in yet, I'm going to find Mo Xuan."
Considering that forcibly storming the Shadow Pavilion would likely put him at a disadvantage, Qin Muyang decided to go and meet Si Jinchuan alone first.
Using a magical artifact that allowed him to become invisible, Qin Muyang successfully infiltrated the Shadow Pavilion and arrived at the palace on the rooftop.
Unexpectedly, someone was already waiting for him.
"Sect Master Qin, now that you're here, why hide?"
