Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 424: Drunkenly Welcoming the Guests on the Tower

Everyone wishes they could look back on the past, but eventually their hair will turn grey.

It was still the same Tuoliang City, and the same Zuiying Tower. This was where Shen Yichen and Murong Ruoxi first met. It was also the place where Murong Ruoxi and her new sister Lu Jiayao first met. It was just that the two sisters were just passing by each other at that time, but now they have a sisterly relationship.

Lu Jiayao left Xuanfeng Pass and headed north of Manghuang. The journey was very smooth and of course she traveled very quickly. She really missed Zixia Sect and her master Ning Menghuan.

On this day, Lu Jiayao came to Tuoliang City and came to the Zuiying Tower. If you go a short distance east from Tuoliang City, you will return to Zixia Sect.

Upstairs in Zuiying Tower, Lu Jiayao relaxed. She had been too nervous and tired along the way. She sat at the table where she had sat before, drinking and thinking about the past.

Looking back again, it’s too unbearable!

I remember the last time I had dinner here, my uncle and sister Yang Jiarui were also there. Now one has passed away and the other is in an uncertain state of life or death. The wine in Lu Jiayao's mouth felt bitter and astringent, perhaps because of the tears that fell into her eyes!

Not knowing whether she drank too much or thought too much, Lu Jiayao lay on the table and cried quietly. Fortunately, she was the first guest of Zuiyinglou today and the only one at present.

She was originally an ant, but she had to travel far away. Her journey was so difficult!

Zuiying Tower welcomed its second guest, a young man who was determined to mend his ways and be a good man, a young man who had once been an ant and had traveled far away but returned safely to the sect. Like Lu Jiayao, he had taken the same first half of the journey, but luckily, he escaped from the vast desert back to Manghuang. This person was Cui Qingquan, the young master of Yanyue Sect. He walked into Zuiying Tower with the Tan Yue Xingyun fan in his hand!

Cui Qingquan did not pay attention to Lu Jiayao who was lying on the ground crying. He did not know it was her. Cui Qingquan sat at the table where he used to sit, and he also felt that everything had changed.

Cui Qingquan came to Zuiyinglou too many times. Since Yanyue Sect was not far from Tuoliang City, he didn't even need to order any dishes. The waiter soon prepared a table full of dishes and a pot of wine. With a smile on his face and being very cautious, the waiter looked very humble. There was no way around it. Cui Qingquan was a difficult man to serve. However, it seemed that this man had not come for a long time.

Cui Qingquan looked at all these familiar things, and he felt like he was looking back, and it was unbearable!

Everyone grows up!

The trip to the vast desert was a watershed in Cui Qingquan's life! Because Cui Qingquan had changed, he had experienced life and death, witnessed the death of his loved ones, seen the swordplay of cultivators, and also witnessed the blood flowing into rivers.

The moment Cui Qingquan escaped from the vast desert, he realized that his naughtiness as a boy, his dissoluteness as a young man, and his carefree and indulgent behavior as a young master were all caused by someone who was carrying the burden for him. They were his uncle, his uncle-master, his father, and everyone in the Yanyue Sect.

Cui Qingquan finally understood why his father had been so strict with him since he was a child, because the martial arts world is a bloody one, and cultivation is a life-and-death struggle, and weak people are like ants and dust.

After Cui Qingquan returned to Yanyue Sect, he seemed like a different person. Not only was he in tattered clothes and covered in bruises, but he also had a playboy heart.

In fact, Cui Qingquan is not a bad person by nature. He is just a child who has been arrogant for too long.

Returning to Yanyue Sect, Cui Qingquan knelt alone in the ancestral hall. He entered Yueling alone and practiced the secret techniques of Yanyue Sect. He wanted to take back the wasted years for more than ten years!

Cui Qingquan stayed in Yueling Valley for a month. The biting cold wind and the murderous moonlight made him reborn.

Cui Qingquan's father was really satisfied, and his mother was of course very distressed, but this was Cui Qingquan's own choice, so what could she do?

What Cui Qingquan didn't know was that his father also knelt in the ancestral hall. He was happy, a kind of happiness that came from the bottom of his heart. The Yanyue Sect had a successor. His father had been strong all his life, but also sad all his life, because his father really was not qualified to be the leader of the Yanyue Sect. It cannot be said that he was not qualified, but there was a better candidate, that is, the one who entered the Shadow Hall!

When Cui Qingquan came out of Yueling Valley, his father burst into tears. It was just that he had been teaching in the dark night for more than ten years without success. Now his son finally woke up and became an adult. What could be more gratifying for a father than seeing his son grow up?

In Yueling Valley, after a month of hard training and the tempering of the moonlight, Cui Qingquan broke through and reached the legendary Dao-seeking Realm in one fell swoop. Cui Qingquan himself knew that this was thanks to the Tan Yue Xingyun Fan in his hand.

The Tan Yue Nebula Fan became very active in the Yue Ling Valley. A large amount of moon essence continuously flowed through the Tan Yue Nebula Fan to nourish Cui Qingquan and temper his body.

What Cui Qingquan didn't know was that the Tan Yue Xingyun Fan actually came from Yue Ling Valley. The auction at the Yaoyu Auction House in Yuyang County seemed to be a loss, but in fact it was a blessing for Cui Qingquan. However, it was also purchased at the cost of two lives.

Cui Qingquan had discussed with his father about leaving Yanyue Sect this time. This time he really went down the mountain alone to gain experience, without any followers. His father was really pleased that Cui Qingquan had really grown up. With the Tan Yue Xingyun Fan by his side, his father was relieved to let him go down the mountain alone.

In fact, there is another very important reason why Cui Qingquan underwent such a change. Beside the nameless stream in the vast sea oasis, he said that he wanted to be a good man and conquer that woman - Yang Jiarui, Yang Jiarui of Zixia Sect, the pitiful Yang Jiarui.

Cui Qingquan could not forget the hard training in Yueling Valley. He was able to persevere. A great motivation came from Yang Jiarui in his heart. He had even teased her in the Manghuang Mountains!

Cui Qingquan on Zuiying Tower recalled the past. He was smiling, thinking back to his mischievousness, his dandyism, and his self-righteousness over the years, and muttered to himself:

"It turns out that I am so disgusting!"

Cui Qingquan poured a glass of wine, but it spilled all over the table. It should be a toast to his past self. Actually, his past was just over two months ago, but he felt like it was a lifetime away, a lifetime away!

If one can realize the truth one day, then people can also be reborn after life and death. Cui Qingquan, the young leader of Yanyue Sect, is such a person.

In comparison, both of them had escaped death from the vast sea and desert, and both of them had their uncles sacrifice their lives to save the lives of their descendants. Cui Qingquan of Yanyue Sect was tens of millions of times stronger than Situ Haoyu of Wulao Peak. It was really like heaven and earth! How could Situ Haoyu have any remorse at all!

Sadly, the miserable Yang Jiarui chose Situ Haoyu, but it is understandable because Situ Haoyu is really handsome and cool, and of course he is also good at pretending and pleasing girls.

What about Yang Jiarui? She really wanted to leave Yingzhou and Manghuang. Her heart was the same as Cui Qingquan's. She wanted to be reborn! She wanted to say goodbye to the unbearable past! Unfortunately, Yang Jiarui was destined to be unable to change!

Cui Qingquan toasted himself three cups of wine on Zuiying Tower. Tears fell from his smiling face. In fact, the wine and tears in his eyes merged together. It seemed that there was a girl waving at him in the wine and tears. Cui Qingquan murmured to himself:

"I've been a good person. I'm going to find you. This time I won't be afraid of water anymore!"

On the Zuiying Tower before noon, the two young disciples of Manghuang were looking back on their past, but one wanted to return to the sect, and the other wanted to reform himself and re-enter the world. One was crying sadly, and the other was smiling and crying. The two had one thing in common, they were both very young, and they still had a long way to go in the future.

What about some people? They are no longer young, but they choose to change their path and continue to move forward, because they have hatred in their hearts! They are unwilling to give up! They are also pitiful people. This person also went to the vast desert, this person also came to Manghuang, and this person also appeared in Zuiyinglou, but no one should recognize him anymore!

This person is Yang Xiaoli, the master of the Ghostly Demon Palace!

The third wave of guests came to Zuiyinglou. They were a man and a woman. The man had one arm, and the woman had half black hair and half white hair. It was a bit weird! But there was another word to describe them: monster!

That clothes, that figure, that face, those eyes, all exude a seductive aura!
