Chapter 779: Chapter 789 Mi Sicha!

Lan Mountain was regarded by the ancients as a "direct passage to the Emperor’s throne," a heavenly place, becoming a Divine Mountain worshipped by the people and where emperors would offer sacrifices.

It’s evident how important Lan Mountain was; in the hearts of emperors, that mountain towered majestically.

To go to Lan Mountain was to suppress the world!

Tang Zhong gazed at the mountains ahead, and was instantly hit by a strong crushing force.

Above Lan Mountain, one could see a faint golden aura radiating.

Only true powerhouses could see that golden aura; ordinary people were simply unable to perceive it.

"Not bad!" Tang Zhong’s yearning intensified. As long as he found that peak carved with the word "Zen", that would be great.

But among the continuous Lan Mountain range, which one could it be?

Never mind which one, the main thing was to search for it.

Out of respect for Lan Mountain, Tang Zhong began to climb the mountains leisurely.

When facing the supreme, one should be reverent. Lan Mountain, having been the site of imperial sealing ceremonies, had long possessed an imperial aura!

Both sides of the road were lined with shops. Seeing Tang Zhong ascend, the shopkeepers immediately grabbed their merchandise and began to try to sell it to him.

But it was all ordinary stuff!

Tang Zhong didn’t even give it a glance; he simply continued walking straight ahead.

The ancient pathway was built of stones.

The people around who had been excited about the climb soon began to falter after just a few steps and were left gasping for breath.

However, Tang Zhong climbed as if nothing were amiss, as if walking on flat ground. The mountain, in his eyes, was no longer a mountain.

And his actions did not escape the attention of those around him, who regarded him as if he were a deity.

At this moment, at a resting spot on the mountain climb,

a group of young people were gathered, about three or so. They were students from a nearby university who had taken advantage of Sunday to climb Lan Mountain. The group consisted of two tall and handsome young men carrying heavy backpacks and a young and beautiful girl dressed in a white sun-protective shirt, which was semi-transparent, revealing the clothing underneath, paired with denim shorts that showcased her long legs and slender waist. Her pale skin and the fact that she appeared to be about nineteen years old caused many passersby to sneak glances at her.

At the moment, the two young men were vying to show off themselves in front of the girl. Indeed, both boys had come to climb the mountain with the intention to court the girl as a girlfriend. However, the girl was indifferent to them, seeing them merely as friends. This left the two quite sullen, but they were persistent. After all, wooing a girl was no easy task. So when the girl said she wanted to climb the mountain, both men offered to join her.

"Here, Chacha, have some water!" one of the guys offered a bottle of Farmer’s Spring water to the girl.

The student known as Chacha waved her hand and said, "I have some!"

She then pulled a bottle of water from her own backpack and drank gulpingly with the bottle to her lips. After drinking, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking irresistibly charming.

The face of the boy offering the water darkened. His name was Chang Ming, and he had fallen deeply in love the moment he saw Chacha. He had pursued her many times and made his feelings clear, but every time he was rejected. However, Chang Ming refused to give up.

Another boy, named Liu Feng, felt a thrill of pleasure seeing his rival rebuffed. They were both in love with the same girl, and to each, a rival was as detestable as a sworn enemy.

Chang Ming turned and glared at his rival as if to say, stop taking so much pleasure in my misfortune.

Chacha’s full name was Mi Sicha, a sophomore at a nearby university. Her family had always lived in the south, and it wasn’t until she went to university that she moved to the north. She exuded an aura of bookish charm that gave her a sweet, girl-next-door vibe. This was why so many at the school pursued her.

She had always longed to climb Lan Mountain but only found the time today. Yet now, not even halfway up, she was too exhausted to continue, having taken several breaks already.

"Let’s go, keep moving!" Mi Sicha said with a smile, then shouldered her small pack, ready to proceed.

But as she turned her head, she saw Tang Zhong walking along the pathway and her pupils dilated in surprise, "No way, who is that person? He’s been climbing for so long and isn’t even tired!"

When she noticed Tang Zhong’s forehead was completely devoid of sweat, she was dumbfounded. After all, anyone who had climbed to this point was usually exhausted to the extreme.

As Mi Sicha spoke, the two men at her side quickly leaned in to listen.

"Chacha, what are you talking about?" Chang Ming was the first to ask.

Liu Feng, not wanting to be outdone, also stepped forward eagerly.

Mi Sicha pointed to Tang Zhong ahead of them and said to the two, "That person over there, look... He’s been climbing for so long and he doesn’t seem tired at all!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Ming and Liu Feng both looked unhappy, then slapped their chests saying, "We can do it too. He’s just putting on an act!"

"Yeah!"

"Please!" Mi Sicha couldn’t help but scorn the two of them; it was they who had complained about being tired and took a rest here.

Mi Sicha’s gaze then returned to Tang Zhong in the distance, biting her lip lightly. Even though she could only see his back, she felt a sense of desolation from his figure. Yet, he seemed to be just in his twenties—how could he seem as if he had so many stories within him?

As a girl from the water towns of the south, she carried a certain melancholic sensitivity and felt a powerful curiosity to find out just who that man was.

She kept watching Tang Zhong’s figure until suddenly, the man in front revealed a profile view of his face. Mi Sicha’s heart raced, and she quickly lowered her head, that profile having struck her with awe.

A strong feeling of attraction welled up inside her.

Mi Sicha started to move, wanting to follow that man to see what he was really about.

She hurriedly began to run after him.

Chang Ming and Liu Feng immediately followed from behind, but after exchanging a look, it seemed they reached a consensus. Just moments ago, they had both witnessed Mi Sicha’s reaction; when her gaze landed on that man ahead, her eyes lit up with interest, an expression she had never shown towards them.

This irked both of them greatly. They had pursued Mi Sicha for so long, yet this unknown person had just met her and already received such treatment.

Mi Sicha could only belong to one of them; they could compete fairly, but they wouldn’t allow others to join the fray.

And, just like that, without knowing why, Tang Zhong had become an object of their animosity—even though he remained completely unaware of it.

He, meanwhile, was wholly focused on finding the mountain peak marked with the word "Zen"!
