My Top-Tier Tycoon Wife Chapter 722 722 Reunion with an Old Friend

Luo Xiu and Zhang Yi road throughout the Boundless Heavens. With the seemingly endless support of Luo Xiu's Divine Sense, it took Zhang Yi nearly ten days to seal and suppress all the Void Viruses that had leaked from the Ancient Path Node.

"Whew!"

At the entrance of the Holy Lotus Hall, Zhang Yi collapsed onto the steps and let out a long sigh.

"Finally done. I've decided to give myself a break and treat myself well," she declared. "My nails and hair are overdue for a touch-up. I'm thinking of dyeing my hair a teal brown. That lingerie store in Stunning Phoenix Swan State is pretty good, too. It's run by Xi Yue, so I can get freebies..."

She trailed off as she glanced at Luo Xiu, who was swaying on his feet beside her. She stopped her rambling and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Brother Luo Xiu. I almost drained you dry."

Luo Xiu weakly waved his hand. "Don't be ridiculous. You couldn't drain dry even if you tried."

Luo Xiu hadn't stopped outputting his Divine Sense for a single mont. Even with his powerful Divine Soul, he could not withstand such a constant drain. Fortunately, the matter was resolved just before his Divine Sense was completely exhausted.

Zhang Yi took out a small stone. "So, what should we do with this?"

It was just a random stone she had picked up from the ground, but its surface bore a mysterious, purple-gold pattern that sealed a massive amount of The Void within.

Luo Xiu stroked his chin. "That's a good question. There's no guarantee these disgusting things won't eventually break through the seal."

Just then, a strange sound echoed through the air. In the next mont, an ancient figure appeared before Luo Xiu like a phantom.

Luo Xiu looked up and saw a skinny, white-haired old man. The elder appeared quite gentle and kind, and a transparent crystal ball floated in the air beside him.

Zhang Yi imdiately beca vigilant, but Luo Xiu remained unfazed. "Were you the one who closed the entrance to the Boundless Heavens earlier, senior?"

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The elder bowed slightly. "I am Guan Zhongbao, the current Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion."

"My apologies for closing the entrance to the Boundless Heavens and trapping you here, Your Majesty. I did so because, in the world today, only you are unaffected by The Void." He continued, "I must also thank Your Majesty for putting an end to this disaster from The Void."

Luo Xiu said, "All this ti, I've felt a pair of eyes watching from the shadows. I take it that was you."

Guan Zhongbao smiled faintly. "Indeed, it was."

Luo Xiu asked, "Why have you revealed yourself now, senior?"

Guan Zhongbao stated bluntly, "I desire the stone in this young lady's hand, so that I may research The Void and co to understand it. This is the first ti we have captured it alive since it first appeared in this world, making this a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.

"Furthermore, although the entrance to the Boundless Heavens is closed, I possess a Secret Technique that can open a small rift, allowing Your Majesty and your companions to leave safely."

Zhang Yi said warily, "And what if you use it for so evil purpose?"

Guan Zhongbao replied kindly, "I swear on my life—if I use it for evil, His Majesty the Azure Emperor may take my life at any ti."

Luo Xiu nodded, signaling Zhang Yi to hand the stone to Guan Zhongbao. He didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this man.

Luo Xiu then opened the spatial entrance to the Land of Lawlessness and called everyone out. Upon seeing Guan Zhongbao, Wei Qingkuang couldn't help but smile. She then looked at Luo Xiu and said, "You two scoundrels. I never imagined we'd all be reunited today."

Luo Xiu was baffled. From the way Wei Qingkuang spoke, it seed he and Guan Zhongbao had known each other for a long ti.

Guan Zhongbao smiled and shook his head. "Immortal Qing Kuang, it has been a long ti."

Wei Qingkuang wasn't one for pleasantries. "It certainly has been a long ti. I didn't expect you to get so old. You should do less fortune-telling; it'll bring down heavenly retribution."

Guan Zhongbao replied helplessly, "That is my destiny."

At this, Luo Xiu asked, "Qing Kuang, you've known him for a long ti?"

Wei Qingkuang smiled. "This old fellow? You could say he was the only friend you had in the entire world during your past life."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu's gaze wavered. When he looked at Guan Zhongbao again, his expression was much warr. No wonder. No wonder he'd felt that inexplicable familiarity upon first seeing him. It was just a sha he couldn't rember anything from back then.

Wei Qingkuang reminisced, "The three of us once traveled together for a ti. You two rascals spent your days eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, and you even distracted from my cultivation."

Luo Xiu's face instantly darkened. "Don't spout such nonsense and ruin my reputation! When have I ever indulged in whoring and gambling?"

Wei Qingkuang chuckled and looked at Guan Zhongbao. "If you don't believe , ask him."

Guan Zhongbao, however, looked away, feigning ignorance. To think Wei Qingkuang would dig up all that old dirt. This Heavenly Azure Empress truly had no tact!

Wei Qingkuang continued, "Believe it or not, this old fellow is actually younger than you. He used to follow you around like a little brother. His fortune-telling is what consud his Lifespan. Later, after you established the Heaven Azure Empire, he even served as your Pri Minister for a while, helping you govern the realm."

Luo Xiu stared at Guan Zhongbao. "Then why didn't you tell ? Why pretend we were strangers?"

Guan Zhongbao smiled. "The past is like smoke. Why bring it up again?"

Luo Xiu replied, "But for us to et again in this life proves our fates are still intertwined."

Guan Zhongbao said, "It won't be too late for us to catch up after we get out of here."

"I'm afraid I can't leave just yet," Luo Xiu said. "There's still sothing I have to do."

At his words, everyone turned to look at him. Luo Xiu scanned the group. "You all go with Pavilion Master Guan. Master Ping, Lao Ba, Black Fatty, help protect everyone for . I still have to go repair the seal."

Guan Zhongbao stared at Luo Xiu and made a quick calculation with his fingers. He suddenly frowned. "Your Majesty, I fear this path you intend to take is fraught with peril."

Luo Xiu smiled faintly. "When has any path I've taken not been so? You said it yourself—so things can only be done by . And while I may not care for the fate of the world, The Void threatens the people I care about. So I must go."

He then turned to Lin Shanshan, his voice softening. "Shanshan, once you leave, go straight to Yan Huang Star and wait for there. As I told you before, you are to be the Empress of Yan Huang Star. The foundation of our Old Luo's Family is in your hands now."

"But, Dad..."

"Listen to ."

"Okay..." Lin Shanshan lowered her head, resigned.

Luo Xiu then looked to the others. "Master Ping, Lao Ba, Black Fatty, and Snow Kirin, I'm entrusting Shanshan to your care."

Master Ping waved a dismissive hand and turned away. "You two, father and daughter, are always causing trouble for old Master Ping. Not a single one of you lets have any peace."

Luo Xian said with concern, "Tian'er, your safety cos first. I'll be waiting for you on Yan Huang Star, too."

Luo Xiu nodded. "By the way, Sister, you should take the Companion Green Lotus. It's no use just sitting there, and it only attracts unwanted attention."

"Alright, I will." Luo Xian never stood on ceremony with her brother.

At this point, Wei Qingkuang spoke up. "Take care, then. I'll be waiting for you at the Lingtian Plateau. Xian'er's condition is complicated and she still hasn't woken up. I have to take her back for treatnt."

Guan Zhongbao stepped forward and handed Luo Xiu a special Magnetic Key. "In that case, I will await you at the Tianji Pavilion, Your Majesty. You must co for a visit when you return."

Luo Xiu waved and turned to leave.

"I will."
