Yun Chuan looked at the empty teacup and shook his head helplessly. He had to admit that he couldn't win against Li Beifei when it came to verbal sparring.
"Why did you know I would come looking for you?" Yun Chuan restated his earlier question.
From the moment he entered, Li Beifei had acted as if he knew he would return. He was curious as to why Li Beifei was so certain that he would come to him.
Now that he had recovered his memories, couldn't he just leave without saying goodbye?
"Hehe, I've already heard about your dramatic entrance. First, you suddenly descended from the sky, and then you fell into my Sword Sect's formation, resulting in amnesia."
"I figured you couldn't have appeared on Northern Dipper Star for no reason. There must be something that brought you here."
"And on Northern Dipper Star, I'm the only one who's interacted with you. You wouldn't come looking for Xu Jiaojiao, would you?"
Li Beifei's eyes gleamed with intelligence, but his words were still tinged with teasing.
When Yun Chuan heard Li Beifei mention Xu Jiaojiao again, he finally couldn't help but do something out of character and rolled his eyes at Li Beifei.
"Do you have a grudge against Chu Nanxing?" Yun Chuan asked.
Li Beifei's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "So, Chu Nanxing sent you. I should have killed him more painfully that day."
Li Beifei felt that killing Chu Nanxing with a single strike was too good for him. If Yun Chuan hadn't had an accident during his journey to Northern Dipper Star, who knows what kind of mess he would have made of Northern Dipper Star.
"You killed him?" Yun Chuan asked in surprise.
"If you harm Jiaojiao, you will be the second," Li Beifei said calmly.
Yun Chuan acted as if he hadn't heard the sentence, because upon closer inspection, Li Beifei seemed to have said something similar earlier, but his attention was on Xu Jiaojiao, and he had ignored the rest.
At this moment, he had to admit that Xu Jiaojiao had become someone who could disrupt his Dao heart. Even his junior sister Xiaoyue had never achieved this.
"Even if you didn't kill him, I would have settled the score with him later," Yun Chuan said calmly.
When Li Beifei heard him say this, he said, "What, aren't you on the same side as him?"
"Are you insulting me?" Yun Chuan's eyes immediately revealed a hint of anger, as if Li Beifei's words were a great insult to him.
"I, Yun Chuan, have always been upright and never stooped to conspiracy. I came to Northern Dipper Star to find you only to learn the whereabouts of my junior sister Xiaoyue from you. Chu Nanxing told me that you met my junior sister on the Apocalypse Continent."
Yun Chuan said in a deep voice.
Outside the main hall, the moonlight was enchanting. On Jade Purity Peak, a beautiful woman gazed at the moon alone. A'Yun, who used to be by her side, was gone.
Inside the main hall, after Li Beifei heard what Yun Chuan said, he asked, "Did Chu Nanxing tell you that Fairy Xiaoyue has already found her destined partner?"
Yun Chuan's face darkened even more. Of course, Chu Nanxing had told him, and it was Qin Shaohuang.
"Looks like he did," Li Beifei understood when he saw his ugly expression. However, Li Beifei thought of Xu Jiaojiao, and he continued, "Since Fairy Xiaoyue already has a partner, I think you can give up. Stay in my Sword Sect obediently, and I'll pick a good day for you and Jiaojiao to get married."
Li Beifei's tone was like an elder speaking to a junior, urging the junior to get married soon.
After hearing this, Yun Chuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"Even if Xiaoyue gets married, in the mortal realm, I am her only relative. I have a responsibility to test whether that person can be entrusted with Xiaoyue's lifelong happiness."
Yun Chuan said with a solemn expression.
"That person is called Qin Shaohuang, don't be embarrassed to say it," Li Beifei pointed out "that person".
Yun Chuan snorted disdainfully.
"For Jiaojiao's sake, I'll give you a friendly reminder: you might not be Qin Shaohuang's match."
Li Beifei said.
"What did you say?"
Li Beifei's words seemed to have stepped on Yun Chuan's tail. Yun Chuan suddenly stood up, widened his eyes, and glared at Li Beifei.
"Damn, did I give you too much respect? I'm kindly reminding you, what are you getting mad about?"
Seeing this, Li Beifei also stood up and glared at Yun Chuan, not willing to tolerate him.
The two were on the verge of drawing their swords, as if they were about to fight at any moment.
"Boss, A'Yun, don't fight."
Just then, Duan Fei suddenly appeared from nowhere, walked to their side, and acted as a peacemaker.
When Li Beifei saw Duan Fei coming, his expression softened slightly.
"Didn't I tell you to go back, you've been hiding outside all this time?" Li Beifei asked.
Hearing this, Duan Fei smiled, silence speaks louder than words.
When Yun Chuan saw Duan Fei, his expression also returned to calm. He took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I just remembered something and got too excited."
He remembered what Gu Tianjun had told him that day.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Li Beifei stared at Yun Chuan with wide eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
Yun Chuan didn't speak.
Seeing this, Li Beifei quickly looked at Duan Fei and said, "Did he just apologize to me?"
Duan Fei nodded. His impression of Yun Chuan was still based on A'Yun, which was quite good, so he wasn't surprised that Yun Chuan apologized.
However, Li Beifei was different. He and Yun Chuan had started fighting after only a few words. If the quasi-supreme expert of the Buddha Relic Clan hadn't appeared back then, the outcome of their fight would still be unknown.
Someone who would rather fight than talk would actually apologize?
It's like the sun rising from the west.
However, since Yun Chuan had apologized, Li Beifei didn't dwell on it. He said, "If you want to find Qin Shaohuang and Fairy Xiaoyue, you shouldn't have come to Northern Dipper Star. You should have gone to Sky Desolate Star instead."
"Sky Desolate Star?" Yun Chuan asked in confusion.
"What, you haven't heard of it?" Li Beifei was also confused. The Ancient Academy had come to his senior sister's Azure Flame Realm hundreds of years ago. It was understandable that other places hadn't heard of it, but not hearing of Sky Desolate Star?
That was simply a fantasy.
"Is it famous?" Yun Chuan asked.
This time, Li Beifei and Duan Fei looked at each other.
"Do you know the Holy Emperor Palace?" Duan Fei asked.
Yun Chuan shook his head.
"The Holy Emperor?" Li Beifei asked.
Yun Chuan still shook his head.
"White Fox Demon Emperor? Empress Houtu?" Li Beifei asked again.
Yun Chuan still shook his head.
"Are you sure your memory has fully recovered?" Li Beifei continued to ask.
"Sure!" Yun Chuan nodded.
"Hiss!"
Li Beifei and Duan Fei suddenly gasped.
"It must be the old guy's doing. He doesn't want them to know this information, so they definitely don't know it."
Li Beifei said with certainty.
"I said, you always act like you're the top dogs, but it turns out you don't even know the truth of the world, hahaha..."
Li Beifei suddenly laughed, causing Yun Chuan to frown.
