Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Reunion with Liu Jian

"Right, Yun, how’s your Sect Leader Liu Jian doing now? Has anything happened to him?"

Zhu Fei took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself down, before turning to inquire about Liu Jian’s situation.

"Liu... Master Liu is fine..."

When Yun Duo heard Zhu Fei asking about Liu Jian, she didn’t hide anything and told Zhu Fei everything about him.

Since Liu Jian was a disciple of an Elder from the Taixuan Sect and also the leader of one of its branches, the Xiahou family had not really sought trouble with him.

Moreover, Yun Duo said that over the past period, Liu Jian had taken quite good care of her, not letting some ill-intentioned people bully her.

This matter had increased Zhu Fei’s favorable impression of Liu Jian a lot.

Although he had previously felt Liu Jian was a decent person, Zhu Fei hadn’t expected that in the current situation, Liu Jian would still take the risk to care for Yun Duo.

He, Zhu Fei, must certainly acknowledge this favor from Liu Jian.

Thereupon, Zhu Fei looked at Yun Duo, who appeared somewhat lost and helpless, and after some thought, finally said, "Yun, what are your plans now? Do you wish to stay with the Flowing Cloud Sect, or will you come with me?"

Originally, Zhu Fei came over with the intention to leave a sum of cultivation resources for the Yun siblings.

But now the situation was clearly different, and if he continued to let Yun Duo stay at the Flowing Cloud Sect, he would obviously feel uneasy.

However, before all that, he still needed to ask for Yun Duo’s opinion.

After all, once Yun Duo decided to follow him, Zhu Fei, from here on, they could very likely become fugitives, evading endless assassinations.

And based on what Zhu Fei knew about Yun Duo, the girl was more on the fragile side and had never traveled far from home before; he honestly didn’t know what she was truly thinking.

"I... I am willing to go with you, Brother Zhu."

Unexpectedly for Zhu Fei, after hearing his suggestion, Yun Duo immediately made up her mind without hesitation, indicating she wanted to leave with Zhu Fei.

At this point, Zhu Fei didn’t waver but firmly nodded.

"All right, since that’s the case, then you should quickly pack your things. I’ll go to Master Liu’s place first, and after I return, we’ll hurry and leave Xia State."

After finishing his words, Zhu Fei didn’t hesitate any longer and, after briefly instructing Yun Duo on a few matters, stealthily headed to the mountain peak where Liu Jian was located.

...

Inside a room on the mountain peak where Liu Jian was, he suddenly opened his eyes from the meditation and cast his Divine Sense towards a certain void in space.

"Brother Liu, we haven’t seen each other for many days, and I didn’t expect you to have reached the Fake Pill Realm. Let me congratulate you first."

Just then, Zhu Fei’s figure suddenly appeared from somewhere.

At this moment, he had removed his disguise. He first clasped his fists towards Liu Jian, then said with a smile, "I have intruded into the Flowing Cloud Sect without permission, you wouldn’t blame me, would you, Brother Liu?"

"Brother Zhu, it’s really you!"

Liu Jian was suddenly taken aback.

He hadn’t anticipated that the faintly familiar aura he had sensed just now would actually be Zhu Fei.

However, he quickly recovered and without waiting for Zhu Fei to speak again, he had already thrown out several sound-proofing prohibitions, then eagerly said:

"Brother Zhu, why have you come here? Don’t you know it’s very dangerous for me right now?"

It was clear that Liu Jian’s concern was not because he feared Zhu Fei would bring trouble upon him, but he was genuinely worried for Zhu Fei’s safety.

Zhu Fei felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

He hadn’t expected that, with just a superficial relationship between them, Liu Jian would care so much for him, treating him as a friend. It seemed he hadn’t misjudged Liu Jian after all.

"Brother Liu, you don’t need to worry. I just wanted to visit you this time, and then I will take Yun immediately after."

Hearing Zhu Fei mention Yun Duo, Liu Jian’s eyes suddenly showed a hint of guilt, and he said with a bitter smile, "I’m sorry, Brother Zhu, I failed to take care of the Yun family, I broke my promise."

Zhu Fei sighed, a trace of bitterness passing across his lips, but in the end, he shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, I must thank Brother Liu for looking after Yun in the past."

Zhu Fei did not want to dwell on this topic, so after a brief pause, he continued, "By the way, do you know who killed Yun Jian and his mother, and where they are now? If you know, I hope you can tell me."

Liu Jian was startled.

He looked at Zhu Fei with some surprise and asked, "Brother Zhu, what do you mean...?"

Zhu Fei nodded, his eyes revealing his murderous intent, "That’s right, I want to avenge the death of Yun Jian and his mother. That’s also one of the reasons I’m here, I hope Brother Liu won’t conceal anything from me."

Liu Jian gave a wry smile.

He could see the determination in Zhu Fei’s eyes; he was serious about confronting the Xiahou family.

Although he didn’t want Zhu Fei to take such a risk, Zhu Fei’s resolve was firm. He figured that if he didn’t tell, Zhu Fei would find someone else to ask. It would be better to tell him himself and perhaps reduce the risk for him.

With this thought, Liu Jian decided no longer to hide the truth and gritted his teeth slightly,

"The Xiahou family members who came to Beiyun City were three: Xiahou Cheng, Xiahou Jie, and Xiahou Li. Among them, Xiahou Jie and Xiahou Li are both at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, but Xiahou Cheng is a Golden Core First Level Cultivator."

Pausing, Liu Jian continued, "They are now in the Money Exchange Guild. It is said that they were originally brought here by someone from the guild. Brother Zhu, if you want to deal with them, I’m afraid..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the implication was clear.

After all, it wasn’t only the Xiahou family looking for Zhu Fei, but the Joyful Union Sect and the Taixuan Sect were also searching for him.

If Zhu Fei was determined to trouble those people and a full-scale battle erupted, it would undoubtedly alarm the two Golden Core Cultivators hidden within the Flowing Cloud Sect.

When that time came, Zhu Fei’s whereabouts would undoubtedly be exposed, and it wouldn’t be so easy for him to leave.

Zhu Fei naturally caught the implied meaning in Liu Jian’s words, but he didn’t seem concerned and said with a slight smile, "You don’t need to worry about that, Brother Liu. I, Zhu Fei, can cope with just one Golden Core First Level Cultivator."

Saying this, Zhu Fei took out a storage ring from his person and gently pushed it towards Liu Jian.

"Brother Liu, this is something I’m giving to you, and I hope you can protect Yun’s safety before I return. I’m counting on you."

With that, Zhu Fei smiled and cupped his hands towards Liu Jian, then swiftly flashed out of Liu Jian’s room.

Watching Zhu Fei’s departing figure, Liu Jian sighed helplessly.

He then collected himself and curiously picked up the ring that Zhu Fei had given him.

But when his divine sense saw what was inside the ring, his face immediately showed an extremely shocked expression.

"True Formation Pill! It’s actually a True Formation Pill!"
