Chapter 254 The Framed Xuanji


    Xuanji was shocked. He was as powerful as Yun Shimo. “What does Yun Shimo mean by jumping down the hill?” Xuanji thought.


    Before Xuanji could recollect himself, the hare had already patted on the earth with its paws and said, “Transmission Array, start!”


    Anyhow, ten thousand years ago, the hare was Sun Moon Deity. It basically could do whatever Tianpi could do. Transmitting rune was a piece of cake for it.


    Xuanji twigged the danger, but it was toote to escape from the array. When the array started, a circr glowed, and its overwhelming pressure made it hard for Xuanji to channel his anima energy.


    Although the hare could not exert its full strength, the power of the rune would not diminish. Xuanji only felt that some white lights glittered in front of him, and he could see nothing. Then he sensed that space had shifted in a sh, and he ended up in somewhere else.


    Heat!


    The wind blowing on his face was hot!


    When the white lights vanished, Xuanji found that in front of him was a vast desert. The burning sun was hanging in the sky, and its heat could almost dry human out.


    Xuanji only stood there for a while, but sweat slid down from his forehead.


    Xuanji shouted resentfully, “Yun Shimo! You wicked! How dare you transmit me out!”


    It was the first time that Xuanji had been irritated like this. From his childhood, he was the most excellent one, and no one dared to treat him rudely.


    Yun Shimo was the first one who transmitted him out of Eight Fingers Mountain by using tricks.


    Xuanji wiped the sweat off his forehead. Even under this circumstance, he was still handsome and attractive. Standing straightly in the desert, he soon attracted the attention of two groups of people.


    A handsome man appeared suddenly after the white lights, which made the two groups of caravans think that he was an immortal. They ran over excitedly to see the handsome man.


    Xuanji was speechless.


    The people who came to him first were some silk merchants. They respected and feared Xuanji.


    However, when seeing Xuanji’s agreeable appearance, these merchants finally rxed. They told Xuanji that here was Boqi Desert.


    Boqi Desert was the legendary 50,000-square-kilometer desert. It took people several months to cross the desert even if they rode on the camels.


    Xuanji’s face grew pale. Even if he used his inherited footwork, it would take him half a month toe back. What mattered most was that he had given his Space Ring made from Dragon Tear Stone to Hua Qiyue, so he could not get any food.


    “Using footwork for half a month without eating and drinking? Don’t be silly. Even if I had ten lives, it wouldn’t be enough!” Xuanji thought.


    Therefore, the poor Xuanji had to ride on a camel slowly to cross the desert with this group of merchants. He had no money nor Space Ring, so he felt that it was hard to live outside Spirit Heaven City for the first time.


    Xuanji spent most of his life practicing in Spirit Heaven City where he could get anything he wanted because of the Supreme Token. However, he was in the desert now—a ce much worse than Spirit Heaven City.


    The leader of the caravan was called He Ming, and he had a daughter named He Luoxian because He Ming’s heavily pregnant wife was washing clothes beside the river when she gave birth to a baby. Moreover,ter the baby girl grew beautiful just like a fairy. So the family gave her such an elegant name.


    He Luoxian liked Xuanji very much, so she pestered Xuanji to tell her his experiences.


    Xuanji always kept his experiences as a secret. At first, the men in the caravan who liked He Luoxian treated Xuanji with malice. They even attempted to poison him. Since Xuanji was the descendant of one of the three ancient ns, how could he be poisoned?


    Three dayster, the caravan encountered more than thirty robbers who were scared by Xuanji’s one attack and fled.


    Since then, these men who admired He Luoxian dared not look for trouble, and they looked at Xuanji with respect.


    He Ming and He Luoxian became fonder of Xuanji. They both regarded the young Taoist priest as their lucky star.


    However, Xuanji was upset. He had never been so down and out. As the descendant of one of the three ancient ns, surprisingly, he was reduced to ride across the desert with these merchants.


    When Xuanji was crossing the desert miserably, Hua Qiyue found Xuanji disappear one dayter.


    “Where is Xuanji? I didn’t see him since yesterday. Is he ill?” Hua Qiyue asked questioningly.


    If Xuanji knew the reaction of Hua Qiyue, he would be more upset. He had been missing for a whole day, and it was until then that Hua Qiyue found out that.


    “Sister Qiyue, actually I had noticed that Bother Xuan was missing since yesterday morning. Maybe you are too busy to notice that. Then we raked around Eight Fingers Mountain but didn’t find the trace of him. And...” Ji Jing cast a look at the hare.


    The hare started tough and said, “Hey, he offended me, so I ate him.”


    Tianci was surprised and said, “Hare, how dare you eat human?”


    “Tianci, don’t believe its nonsense. The hare hates Xuanji, so it transmitted him,” Ji Feng said imperturbably. In fact, after Xuanji was transmitted by the hare, Yun Shimo came to Ji Feng to tell him the reason. Xuanji was the descendant of one of the three ancient ns, and Yun Shimo feared that Xuanji had rtions with the Xuanyuan Family. So Yun Shimo had him transmitted away.


    Of course, this was an excuse.


    “Transmitting him away? With the array, nobody should be able to go out ore in, should not they?” Hua Qiyue asked.


    Of course, she would not be so silly to believe in Ji Feng’s words.


    “How came Xuanji offend the hare? The hare has been living for ten thousand years, and it won’t be mad with Xuanji for such little things.” Hua Qiyue thought.


    “I have my own way,” the hare said, “it was inconceivable that he escaped from my Spirit Summoning Art. Humph, how did that happen?”


    Hua Qiyue frowned and said, “When you decided to transmit him, why don’t you discuss it with me?”


    “Qiyue, it was between him and me!” the hare said coldly. He took the me for Yun Shimo. In exchange, Yun Shimo would refine an unprecedented top-grade medicine pellet for it.


    Yun Shimo kept silent. The reaction of Hua Qiyue made him sad.


    Princess Qianyang nced at Yun Shimo and then Hua Qiyue. Anger appeared on her face.


    Hua Qiyue stood up suddenly, put the chopsticks violently on the table, and left.


    Seeing this, Ji Feng and the others were silent. Tianci and Ji Jing chased after Hua Qiyue, and the Demon Chicken also followed Tianci.


    Hua Qiyue sat beside theke depressingly and tossed stones into theke.


    Pitpat, pitpat—


    The small stones made ripples on the surface of theke.


    Ji Jing and Tianci ran over and sat down next to her. Tianci reached out his small hands to Hua Qiyue’s and rubbed his cheek against her hands. He said, “Mom, don’t be mad. The hare had its reasons to do so.”


    Everybody thought it was the hare’s idea to do so. However, Hua Qiyue knew that it was Yun Shimo’s idea.


    “Why was Xuanji transmitted away? Where was he now?” Hua Qiyyue thought.


    Hua Qiyue became worried all of a sudden. When it came to Xuanji whose Qi Art was incredibly good, it was unnecessary for her to worry about him.


    “Mom, please don’t be mad. Give me a smile.” Tianci said while shaking Hua Qiyue’s hands. Then Hua Qiyue hugged Tianci into her arms and said, “Kid, I’m in a bad mood... Whatever affections Xuanji shows to me, they are real...”


    Hua Qiyue sighed. After losing Tianci, all the memories of her and Xuanji came back into her mind.


    Because of Xuanji, she had the chance to enter Spirit Heaven City and attain Top-grade Magic Pellet, which promoted her into the greatpleteness of Round Sun.


    It all owned to Xuanji.


    “Qiyue, the hare is a ten-thousand-year-old monster. It must have its own reasons to do so. Actually, what the hare did was right. Even though Xuanji was a member of the three ancient ns, we haven’t figured out why he gave you a green jade gourd with a devil. So you should be careful.”


    Ji Jing also advised her softly.


    Hua Qiyue nodded silently. She understood that Xuanji was not that trustworthy. She was so affectionate toward Yun Shimo that she was tricked by him.


    “Look, mom, Brother Ji and Brother Huangfu areing.” Tianci pointed to them. Huangfu Xuan and Ji Feng were walking toward them.


    Ji Feng also brought food with him for fear that Hua Qiyue would be hungry.


    Huangfu Xuan nced at Hua Qiyue madly and said, “Hua Qiyue, is it worth being upset because of a Taoist priest? Although he is nice to you, he implicated you into the enmity of the Xuanyuan Family. Do you really think it’s a good thing for you? Hua Qiyue, don’t be silly.”


    Huangfu Xuan came back to his hubris which Hua Qiyue liked.


    Because this was who he was.


    Since Huangfu Xuan had been with her, he had changed a lot. Maybe it was because of her.


    But when Huangfu Xuan realized that they had no future, he became disheartened and turned to his true self.


    “Qiyue, although what Huangfu said was rough, it was the truth. Xuanyuan Family is the enemy of the Yun Family. If Xuanji stayed here, he would influence the rtionships among the three ancient ns.”


    Ji Feng put the food in front of Hua Qiyue and said, “Here, don’t be mad. It isn’t good to be starving.”


    “Mom, if you don’t eat, I won’t eat, either,” Tianci said. The trick of Tianci was useful. Hua Qiyue could do nothing but look at them and said, “Thank you forforting me. I see. You can leave. After finishing the meal, I need to cultivate.”


    Seeing Hua Qiyue’s face was normal again, everyone was relieved.


    As for the hare and Yun Shimo, when the hare returned to the cultivation site, Yun Shimo had been sitting there for a while, staring imperturbably at the hills and clouds afar.


    “What did she say?” Yun Shimo asked gently.


    What he cared most was Hua Qiyue’s reaction.


    “Maybe Hua Qiyue will hate me more.” Yun Shimo thought.


    The harey downnguidly and replied, “Nothing. She is sensible. Honestly, if Xuanji is here, which side will he be when the members of the Xuanyuan Familye? It is a tricky thing.”


    “We’d better discuss how to resolve the misunderstandings between me and Qiyue,” Yun Shimo said fretfully.


    The hare burst intoughter and said, “Haha... you said you were not worried about that. You even nned to let her find Xuanji slowly. Yun Shimo, you are so cruel. It’s really difficult to make her forgive you!”


    Yun Shimo snorted. He had already gotten a n. Today, he would take action. Of course, he needed the hare.
