Phoenix Destiny Chapter 591 Chapter 592 Azalea Blooms

591: Chapter 592 Azalea Blooms 591: Chapter 592 Azalea Blooms Lu Mingshu sat in the very center of the tree heart, deep in thought.

The spherical-shaped treasure was right in front of her.

The Yang energy emanated from the sphere, dispersing the Yin Energy of this place.

After she had been struck by that palm, neither Xie Xingchen nor Senior Qiu Yu would ignore it.

If they hadn’t found her, there was only one possibility—they couldn’t.

“Little Boo, when you found me, there was no one around, right?”

“Ka, that’s right.”

“You didn’t see your former master, did you?”

“That’s right.”

Little Boo had been swept away by the Yin wind and might have taken a long time before finding her.

“Where did you find me?”

“At the roots of the Big Black Tree.”

So, she had been hit so far away?

At that time, several powerhouses in the Void had been fighting fiercely, the Yin World was in chaos, and Yin Souls were fleeing everywhere.

She had been struck by Fu Shangqing’s palm and very likely had been swept away by the Yin wind, losing track of her whereabouts.

“Master, you slept for a very long time, Little Boo almost thought you were going to die.”

“Was I severely injured at that time?”

“Mhm, you were not even breathing.”

Fu Shangqing’s palm had struck hard, aiming to take her life.

At that moment, Lu Mingshu truly thought she was going to die.

Perhaps, she hadn’t died because of the protection of the Heavenly Wheel?

——Wait, the Heavenly Wheel!

She remembered.

Back during the conflict at the Heavenly Door, when her life had been threatened, the Heavenly Wheel had actively protected her.

Maybe it had done the same this time.

In grave danger, the Heavenly Wheel protected its master.

Perhaps it even dragged her physical body in.

That was why others hadn’t found her.

Lu Mingshu roughly sorted things out in her mind.

“Forget it, I’ll be able to figure out the rest once I get out,” she thought.

The mystic force in her body surged, her injuries had pletely healed, and she had even made a breakthrough in the Assimilation Realm.

The Heavenly Wheel might protect her life, but it would never actively help her make a breakthrough—could this be the effect of the treasure Little Boo mentioned?

Lu Mingshu placed her hand on the sphere, and immediately a rolling heat poured into her body.

“It really is a treasure…” she murmured to herself.

“Right?” Little Boo said proudly, “Little Boo found this treasure and wanted to tell the master right away.”

Who would have thought that by the time it found her, she was nearly a corpse.

“Little Boo is amazing!” Lu Mingshu praised it.

“Ka!

Little Boo has been praised!” Little Boo waggled its head in delight.

Lu Mingshu calmed her thoughts: “Even though I’ve made a breakthrough, my realm is not stable.

Little Boo, keep watch for me.

I will first stabilize myself and adapt to the Assimilation Realm.”

“Okay, master.”

…

After the clear and refreshing rain, Gao Xiang picked a stick of azaleas and slowly walked along the mountain path until he came to a stop at its end.

He sighed, looked at the azaleas in his hand, and feeling uninterested, tossed them into the ravine.

With no one there and no gravestone left, whom was he picking the flowers for, and to where could he offer them?

“Senior Brother Gao?” From behind the mountain cliff at the end of the path, someone emerged.

“…” Gao Xiang glanced at her, then nodded, “Junior Sister Yuan.”

Yuan Rong came out from behind the cliff, also holding a stick of azaleas, not sure whom they were for.

“Did Senior Brother also e out to pick flowers?

The azaleas bloomed so beautifully this year.”

Yes, during the Qingming festival, azalea flowers are in full bloom.

“Senior Brother, why did you throw it away?

Were the flowers not good-looking?

Look, what I’ve picked is not bad, I’ll give them to you!”

Gao Xiang couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

This Junior Sister Yuan Rong once served the Supreme Elder Yuan, and he had only met her once or twice.

He didn’t know her personality at all.

After that incident, he returned to the Nine Jade Palace and only then did he find out that Junior Sister Yuan had gone to Green Jade Valley.

How can she be so…

clueless?

She’s nothing like Lu Mingshu…

“We usually pick azalea flowers for tomb-sweeping.

You giving them to me, could it be…”

“What?” Gao Xiang didn’t finish his sentence as Yuan Rong blinked and asked.

“…Nothing.” Gao Xiang took the flowers from her, “Thanks.”

It’s okay if she doesn’t understand, there are no taboos for those practising martial arts.

Since she gifted them to him, he might as well accept them.

Who said azalea flowers must be offered only to the deceased?

In the past, when azaleas bloomed, Lu Mingshu would also pick and put them in vases.

From afar, the bright red blossoms were vibrant with life.

The two walked back together.

As they walked, Yuan Rong asked, “Senior Brother Gao, you look dismayed.

Are you thinking about Senior Sister Lu?”

Gao Xiang was surprised.

To call her a simpleton, yet able to read his expression, she wasn’t pletely foolish after all.

“Yes!”

“Don’t think too much, no news is good news.

Maybe Senior Sister Lu will suddenly e back one day!”

“…” Was this silly girl forting or not?

After eight years, and in a place like the Yin World, no news was almost the same as being dead.

“I really believe that Senior Sister Lu will definitely e back!” Yuan Rong said with an optimistic face.

Although a bit silly, seeing her happiness and cheerfulness, acpanying Senior Uncle Liu was quite good.

If it were someone who wallowed in sadness, with Lu Mingshu missing for so many years, wouldn’t it be worrying to death?

Gao Xiang suddenly felt that when Lu Mingshu had agreed to Supreme Elder Yuan’s proposal to take in Yuan Rong, it must have been because of this.

She probably knew she wouldn’t stay in the Nine Jade Palace often, and with no one to acpany Senior Uncle Liu and Hui Niang, having the simple-minded Yuan Rong around, Green Jade Valley could have a bit more vitality.

“How has Senior Uncle Liu been lately?” Gao Xiang asked.

“Pretty good,” Yuan Rong said.

“There are many sect affairs, Uncle is very busy!”

“And Hui Niang?”

“Hui Niang is also doing well!

It’s just that she misses Senior Sister Lu and mentions her from time to time.

But when I fort her, she says she’s not in a hurry and that Senior Sister Lu will always e back.”

Gao Xiang smiled faintly.

This was the best oute, having hope in heart was good.

“We grew up together since we were children.” He spoke slowly, “I always thought we would have lots of time together.

I didn’t expect that later on, we would keep missing each other.”

First, she went away, and by the time she returned, he had left.

He was trapped in the Yin World, she came looking for him, and then…

Gao Xiang had blamed himself, but the fact of the matter had occurred, and regret was useless now.

Besides, there was someone else who was even more heartbroken!

“By the way, is there any news from Zhongzhou?”

“What news?” Yuan Rong didn’t understand.

“I mean, about that Young Master Xie.”

Yuan Rong shook her head: “Didn’t he go to the Nine States?

I haven’t heard of any news.”

Gao Xiang sighed deeply to himself.

If Lu Mingshu were still here, he might feel really annoyed with Xie Xingchen.

They were childhood friends – why should this guy e along and steal Lu Mingshu’s attention?

But now that Lu Mingshu was gone, he somehow felt a kind of empathy.

They were both missing the same person, and the other’s pain was deeper than his own.

This was the only consolation Gao Xiang had.

Because the other person was in such pain, the hostility that had yet to develop simply dissipated.

Initially, when Lu Mingshu was struck by Fu Shangqing and disappeared in the Yin World, that Young Master Xie searched there for three whole years until the Queen Mother personally pleaded with him to leave.

Against such a “rival in love,” Gao Xiang found it impossible to dislike him.
