Chapter 232: Chapter 187: A Frog in a Well, Also Fit to Look at the Moon Above?_3
At this moment, everyone present looked towards the courtyard exit where the figure had disappeared, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
The youth had been here for only about an hour, yet he turned all of them into a joke.
"Frog at the bottom of the well, what sees the moon above?"
Xian Banmeng suddenly smiled, like myriad flowers blooming, stunningly beautiful.
She looked at Zhou Yu, chuckled and asked, "Brother Zhou, which prodigious scholar’s disciple is Su Gongzi from the Central State?"
"Could you introduce him to me someday?"
There is no difference between men and women; exceptional individuals always captivate the opposite sex.
As was Xian Banmeng, so was Su Changqing.
And at that moment, Zhou Yu, still not fully recovered, heard Xian Banmeng’s question, paused briefly before smiling bitterly and saying,
"Chang Qing does not study literature, he practices... martial arts!"
Upon hearing this, Xian Banmeng’s smile froze, and others showed bewildered expressions.
...
"It might be better to attend fewer occasions like these; the martial world isn’t as appealing as I thought."
Amidst the bustling streets of Celestial Fate City, Su Changqing reflected on the recent experience, involuntarily expressing his thoughts.
He had not seen the youthfulness of pointing to mountains and rivers, but did witness plenty of pretentious hypocrites.
"Forget it, I’ll just keep interactions to a minimum in the future."
Su Changqing shook his head, looked around, "Let’s find an inn to stay at and wait for Zhou’s notice."
Originally, he intended to travel alone, but on the way to Qilin Mansion, Zhou Yu mentioned recent disturbances in the surrounding area, with many people dead.
Tomorrow, Zixiao Country is supposed to arrange a Flying Ship to escort those attending the birthday celebration.
Considering safety or avoiding getting lost, waiting an extra day seems like the best choice.
Thinking of this, Su Changqing didn’t hesitate, he found an inn randomly and checked in.
After settling in briefly, he set up several arrays in his room, then took out a rusty bronze bell.
"Do I need to refine this before I can use it?"
"I don’t even know what this thing does..."
Rare leisure time, Su Changqing looked at the so-called Secret Treasure of the Sea Burial in his hand, eyes filled with curiosity.
The day after tomorrow, he would have to attend the birthday celebration, and the gift naturally had to be prepared in advance.
He sat cross-legged and operated his Cultivation Technique, a chaotically entwined destin palace emerged from his celestial spirit.
The bronze bell in his hand fell into the destin palace, an endless chaotic aura instantly washed over it.
As time passed, the corrosion on the bell gradually fell away, a trace of golden divine radiance blossomed from the bell.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed, the bronze bell was completely cleansed of age, shining brilliantly.
But Su Changqing looked at the bell in his hand, and couldn’t help but feel curious.
He waved his hand lightly, and the bronze bell floated into the air.
"Grow."
As Su Changqing spoke softly, the small bronze bell instantly transformed to over a person’s height.
"Grow more."
Hiss!
The bell extended with the wind, and in a moment, it had reached the inn’s ceiling.
Su Changqing hurriedly stopped, stepped forward and gently tapped it.
Dong~
The thick, deep knell resonated throughout the compact space, divine radiance flooded the entire room, seemingly trying to pierce the heavens.
"No grade, solid in hardness, can grow or shrink, and possesses other unknown marvels..."
"Hiss~"
Su Changqing troubledly scratched his head, "What if I don’t want to give it away? This seems like something precious."
He initially intended to casually find an average bell to embarrass the Liu family.
But without knowing, accidentally stumbled upon a decent treasure; giving it away really seemed a pity.
"Fine, the Liu family truly won’t deserve it, I’ll take it back later."
Su Changqing smiled, glanced at the bronze bell before him and nodded with satisfaction.
Can grow or shrink, knell reverberating, and capable of emitting divine radiance.
When gifting it, he would expand the bell to its largest, then strike heavily several times.
Alas, the scene...
"Would be quite grand, wouldn’t it?"
Su Changqing’s eyes showed expectation, then with a chuckle, stored the bell away.
And just then, the Communication Talisman at his waist began to vibrate.
He picked it up and indeed, it was Zhou Yu relaying the message to depart, but its contents made Su Changqing’s gaze tighten.
[Senior Brother Chang Qing, a large group of dark cultists have emerged, we need to leave early, hurry up!]
"Dark cultists?"
With eyes showing confusion, Su Changqing softly muttered,
"What are those?"
