Chapter 126: Chapter 123: Transplanting Flowers And Trees (Second update request for subscription and monthly tickets)_1

After Peng Fulai and the others cowardly left, Li Xuan had no choice but to brace himself and make his way toward the main hall of the Marquis of Town East’s Mansion under the gaze of numerous people.

However, Li Xuan was stopped halfway by a boy from the Marquis of Town East’s Mansion, carrying a message from his mother, Mrs. Liu.

"Go to the West Wing?"

Li Xuan stopped, apprehensively eyeing the boy, who seemed to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, "Isn’t the West Wing not the place where the Marquis of Town East’s Mansion hosts female guests? Is there a girl who wants to meet me there? Are you trying to deceive me?"

Furthermore, even if Mrs. Liu did have some arrangements for him, she should have informed him through her maids, not a boy from another household.

Perhaps Li Xuan’s gaze was too sharp, as the latter’s face was covered with fine beads of sweat. However, the boy handed over a jade thumb ring in a very respectful manner, "Sir, Lady Li said that the people around her are not familiar with the Mansion and she has other matters to attend to, so she asked our housekeeper to find you. This is a token Lady Li gave, she hopes you can go there as soon as possible. Remember, it is the Cuiwei Garden in the West Wing."

Li Xuan glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed something his mother, Mrs. Liu, owned, which he had occasionally seen before.

Without giving it much thought, he took the thumb ring and turned towards the direction pointed out by the boy.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Xuan arrived in front of a garden located beside an artificial lake.

Li Xuan first glanced around, admiring the scenery. As he pushed the door open and entered, he thought to himself that his mother had chosen a good place this time. The environment here seemed quite elegant.

Just as Li Xuan entered the garden, in an alley behind him, Cui Hongan and Zhang Jin, together with a group of unruly young men, emerged from a dark corner.

"Will it work?" Cui Hongan looked at the garden’s door filled with doubt: "I think it’s more reliable to find a martial master who can fight."

However, Zhang Jin scoffed, "Would a normal martial master dare to go against Earl Chengyi’s mansion? Despite Earl Chengyi being dismissed, he is a cultivator on the half-heavenly level, possessing several cultivators of the third door level. Who wouldn’t be afraid of reprisals from his family? Unless we find some evil cultivators, in which case, we will definitely end up in a mess afterwards."

He then looked forward with full confidence, filled with anticipation, "’Sword Rain’ Hua Shenxiao, the most hot-tempered among the present Seven Sages of Quanzhen. You will see, if this guy doesn’t go in, it ends there. But once he goes in, he will surely leave in a sorry state, he might even be turned into a tree by that guy."

"Turned into a tree?" Cui Hongan asked, puzzled.

"It’s one of Hua Shenxiao’s hobbies. He is a Gold and Wood spell cultivator. He can make a human body sprout vines and leaves until the person is bound to the ground like a tree. However, even scarier is when he turns people into fertilizer for his plants. He has previously turned a group of bandits in the north into plant fertilizers."

Zhang Jin sneered as he spoke, "Anyway, he won’t be walking away untouched today."

※※※※

At this moment, what Li Xuan saw was a garden full of flowers of various types, each competing in beauty.

Then, at the corner of the flower garden, a figure stood tall in a white robe, exuding an otherworldly temperament. His slender physique was enhanced by the softly falling water he was using to irrigate the plants.

The person looked up when Li Xuan entered, frowning at his arrival.

Li Xuan was also taken aback. The person in front of him had soft and handsome features, even more delicate than many girls, but he was dressed in men’s clothing - could this be a woman disguised as a man?

Li Xuan speculated in his mind and then thought about the girl he was supposed to meet today, it seemed she had a spirited personality.

However, the other person’s expression was rather unfriendly: "I have already told the owner that I will not be courteous to anyone who intrudes here. I suppose you want to become plant fertilizer?"

Li Xuan started to suspect something, yet he respectfully cupped his hands: "Miss, as per my mother’s instructions I have come here to meet you.".

"Miss?" The young man in white narrowed his almond-shaped eyes, the sharp look within them like needles: "You have quite the nerve! I was originally intending to teach you a little lesson to be a future warning, but it seems that it will be hard to appease the hatred in my heart without turning you into a real plant fertilizer today."

He raised his hand, and in an instant, hundreds of willow leaves rose into the air from all over the garden.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment. Could he have got the wrong place? But he had checked carefully just now, and this was indeed Cuiwei Garden.

And this person’s cultivation level seemed strong. He manipulated the willow leaves from afar, this was at least the cultivation of the seventh house level!

Or maybe -

Li Xuan recalled the boy’s unusual behavior, and suddenly realized that he might have walked into a trap.

However, perhaps due to his experience in the battle in the Underground, his mood was quite calm at this moment: "Do you know Zhang Jin and Cui Hongan?"

Based on his conjecture, the only ones who would have both the inclination and the capability to do this currently would be these two.

Yet the white-robed youth opposite him looked disdainful: "Zhang Jin? I don’t know him. Are you trying to divert my attention? I advise you not to bother, just be prepared to become my plant fertilizer."

At this moment, the floating willow leaves emitted a sharp Qi Force.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, had made up his mind. He knew that at this moment, hesitation was not an option. If he didn’t want to be beaten up today, he had to strike first!

With this thought, Li Xuan transformed into a streak of thunder light and appeared in front of the youth.

The latter’s eyes widened slightly at this moment, "Unsettling Divine Thunder! Although your cultivation level is low, your mastery of the aura of thunder is not bad!"

The young man remained completely still, casually slapped the stone table, and a pair of chopsticks on the table flew up into the air — they were plainly ordinary wooden chopsticks, yet they emitted a three-foot Sword Qi. With a speed surpassing its usual, it rushed straight towards Li Xuan’s chest.

Li Xuan’s heart was struck with a chill, realizing that the person in front of him was certainly on par with Jiang Hanyun and the Demoness Zidie.

But at this point, there was no turning back, he could only pursue the path he had walked on towards the dark unknown!

"Rah!"

With a roar from Li Xuan, the Great Rectitude Martial Intention, combined with the freshly learned ’Shen Kui Lei Yin’, instantly resonated within a mile radius.

The young man not only halted in his aura, those leaves and chopsticks were also shattered into dust after losing control.

At this time, Li Xuan’s fully charged palm ’Thousand Miles of Ice Country’ had already pressed into his chest. The massive Cold Power, in a split second, covered the surroundings of this person with a layer of frost.

——There weren’t any surprises, judging by the feeling from his chest, it was indeed a man. Li Xuan then continued relentlessly, one palm following another, until he froze this person into a thick layer of ice, becoming immobilized.

After this, Li Xuan finally took a breath. He smoothed out his fringe, thinking that was quite a close call, nearly being turned into fertilizer by someone. This person spoke in such a dreadful tone, he might really have intended to do so.

Even if this person was just threatening him, but on the day of his blind dates with those girls, getting beaten up until he was black and blue, that wouldn’t be good either.

What followed was a sense of satisfaction, for he had managed to freeze a cultivator who had opened The Third Door! His first time doing this ever since crossing over, it called for a celebration!

But then, Li Xuan heard a ’clicking’ sound coming from within the layer of ice.

He stared intently, finding that the person’s surroundings were actually emitting strands of fierce Qi Force, starting to break the ice layer.

Huh? This bastard dares to resist?

Li Xuan’s eyes narrowed, then he slammed his palm, adding more Cold Power directly into the ice.

What stunned him was, although his icy palm strikes were effective, it could only suppress this person for the duration of a breath. After a single breath, the person again began destroying the ice layer. Moreover, they were exerting great force, Li Xuan estimated, if he let loose even a little, this person could break free from the ice within ten breaths!

Now it was Li Xuan’s turn to be flustered, each strike of his palm can drain his Zhenyuan.

In terms of Zhenyuan amount, there was no way he could compare with that young man, he was bound to lose in terms of endurance.

If he can’t seal it off, then what to do? Will he get beaten to death?

Just as this thought flitted through Li Xuan’s mind, he was certain he would get a severe thrashing.

Just because of the young man inside the ice, the eyes staring at him were wide, the flames burning in those eyes could potentially burn him to ashes.

As Li Xuan was worrying, the voice of Cui Hongan came from outside the flower garden: "Why is it so quiet?"

Zhang Jin answered him: "Just be patient and wait, we just have to wait outside and enjoy the show."

Hearing this, Li Xuan’s gaze shifted. He immediately withdrew his hand, then banged out Thunderbolt, his figure retreated, flashing out of the garden.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Cui, the person inside, I’ve softened them up for you. If you want to take advantage, you must hurry up. Quickly bring out what you’ve prepared, this beauty is too feisty, I can’t suppress them."

Cui Hongan looked somewhat baffled as he watched Li Xuan rush out of the flower garden, transforming into a bolt of lightning and vanishing in an instant. He thought that Zhang Jin wasn’t really reliable, going by Li Xuan’s appearance, it was clearly a non-starter, he hadn’t received even the slightest injury.

Zhang Jin, on the other hand, was pondering over Li Xuan’s words. What did they mean? What did he mean that the person was softened up? What did taking advantage mean?

Just as his faced warped at the thought of a possibility, he feared that the person inside might retaliate using trickery.

"No good!"

But just at this moment, countless ice shards exploded from within the flower garden, creating shockwaves. A figure, clad in white, flew out from inside wielding a sword. His complexion was cold as ice and he looked at them as if they were dead men.

Zhang Jin involuntarily swallowed his spit, feeling death looming close.

"Master Hua, Brother Hua, please let us explain! That Li Xuan——"

However, the young man standing on the longsword was already full of anger as he waved his wide sleeves!

"You are all going to die!"

In an instant, countless willow leaves surged from all directions, rushing towards Zhang Jin and his comrades.

Moreover, giant vines the size of towering trees sprang up from the ground, like dancing demons, shooting into the air, wrapping up all the people present into twists.

Then a series of eerie howls echoed throughout the back courtyard of the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion.
