Chapter 182, Mu Qingluan's FearAt this time, another old man came over, looking energetic, and bowed to Xiao Li with a smile.
"I am Gu Ling, and I have long heard of Master Xiao Li's great name. Today I finally get to meet him in person. He is indeed worthy of his reputation."
"Your Excellency Feng, thank you for your praise."
The only person in Sifang Pavilion who has no grudge against Xiao Li is Venerable Feng.
As early as the battle at Tianmu Mountain, Venerable Feng knew of Xiao Li's name.
It was only now that I finally saw Xiao Li in person.
"Qingluan, come and meet Master Xiao Li."
Lord Feng waved his hand, and a beautiful woman with elegant temperament walked out from behind him—Mu Qingluan!
"Qingluan...meet Master Xiao Li."
Mu Qingluan bowed slightly, but her eyes were evasive and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Li.
Back when they were at Tianmu Mountain, Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er were both turned into Xiao Li's women in space, and they had already done something substantial.
At that time, Feng Qing'er hated Xiao Li to the core, but she dared not express her anger and could only leave silently.
At that time, Mu Qingluan's attitude towards Xiao Li was actually quite good. She did not resist too much and even obeyed Xiao Li.
But after finishing the work, she had to come back to explain things.
But this time, she never went to look for Xiao Li again.
Mainly because she calmed down by herself.
When she was possessed by Xiao Li, her inner obedience was genuine.
But at that time, she was more or less influenced by Xiao Li.
Later, after returning to Xingyun Pavilion, she came to her senses and still felt that this kind of thing was too unfair for her.
Although Mu Qingluan didn't tell anyone about this, she didn't want to look for Xiao Li again.
until,
Now Xiao Li is here.
"Miss Qingluan, you're too polite." Xiao Li smiled slightly and didn't mention too much about what happened between them.
They were not the protagonists today, so there was no need for him to ruin the atmosphere over such a trivial matter.
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business - today was the day that Yao Chen officially took office as the leader of Xingyun Pavilion after he had rebuilt his body!
Although Xingyun Pavilion has always been presided over by Master Feng for the past few decades.
But Master Feng had always reserved the position of Pavilion Master for Yao Chen, and now he finally got it.
All forces came to congratulate, and many powerful people came because of their fame.
Many of them came here for Yao Chen.
After all, the name of Medicine Master was known throughout Zhongzhou back then.
When these people arrived at Xingyun Pavilion, they were even more surprised to find that Xiao Li, the new champion of the Alchemy Competition, was also there.
If Yao Chen was the most famous alchemist of his time.
Xiao Li is undoubtedly the most famous alchemist of this era.
And both of them have won the Dan Club championship.
It is a very rare scene to see the two of them in the same frame.
……
Xiao Li came here today simply to have dinner and had no other purpose.
These guests came here to bless Yao Chen.
However, Xiao Li's fame is there after all, so when those people congratulated Yao Chen, they also greeted Xiao Li by the way.
After all, he was the new champion of the Alchemy Conference and the killer of the Soul Palace Master. No one in the audience dared to object to these two labels.
Xiao Li didn't care whether they said hello or not.
But they couldn't help but come and say hello.
This is human nature.
In the end, Xiao Li felt a little annoyed and took the initiative to retreat to the inner hall of Xingyun Pavilion, where he felt a lot more quiet.
At this time, most of the people in Xingyun Pavilion were outside chatting with guests and drinking happily.
There are almost no people in the inner hall ≠ no one
In addition to Xiao Li, there is another person in the inner hall—Mu Qingluan!
Mu Qingluan was a little afraid to face Xiao Li, so she quietly hid in the inner hall.
But I never expected that Xiao Li also came in.
Of course, Xiao Li had no idea that Mu Qingluan was here, he just came in to get some quiet time. Mu Qingluan's presence also surprised him a little.
In fact, Xiao Li noticed that since meeting him today, Mu Qingluan had been avoiding his gaze and did not dare to face him.
It was obvious that Xiao Li did not show any malicious expression towards her, and he didn't even say anything in private.
All I can say is that Mu Qingluan felt guilty.
"Master Xiao Li..."
There were only two of them in the inner hall.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Qingluan took the initiative to walk over, slightly lowered her head and greeted him.
"Qingluan, it's so lively outside, why are you here alone?"
"I... don't really like crowds," she said.
"Actually, I don't like crowds either."
Xiao Li didn't say anything special.
But Mu Qingluan felt an invisible pressure.
"Master Xiao Li, I'm sorry..."
She lowered her head.
"Why are you saying sorry all of a sudden?"
"After we parted at Tianmu Mountain, I said I would come back, but I never looked for you afterwards..."
"Raise your head." Xiao Li said.
Mu Qingluan did as she was told.
She raised her delicate face, and there was a hint of mist in her eyes, making her look very charming.
Xiao Li sighed helplessly: "Do I scare you so much?"
In fact, he understood Mu Qingluan's feelings.
I finally came back, why do I want to go back?
It’s just that Mu Qingluan herself can’t get over the high wall in her heart.
Especially now that Xiao Li is famous and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
He alone is stronger than the entire Xingyun Pavilion.
Xingyun Pavilion is no longer Mu Qingluan’s safe haven.
She was very afraid that Xiao Li would blame her.
"come over."
Xiao Li used an almost commanding tone.
Mu Qingluan didn't dare to resist and walked over obediently.
Xiao Li did not touch her, but raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Don't cry. You'll make me feel like a bad person. I'm not going to eat you."
"I don't mean to blame you. Since you want to stay away from me, I won't force you to stay by my side."
His gentleness made Mu Qingluan feel warm in her heart. She looked up at him in disbelief, as if she didn’t believe it.
"Well, no matter what, you are my woman now. Although our relationship may not be very good, I, Xiao Li, am not the kind of person who would bully even my own woman."
"I'm here just to attend the banquet, not to confront you."
Mu Qingluan's reaction really made Xiao Li feel like he was some kind of big devil.
too weird.
Instead, Mu Qingluan was infected by his gentleness.
Just like when she was in Tianmu Mountain, she was inexplicably attracted by Xiao Li's temperament, and then couldn't help but fall in love with him.
"Master Xiao Li, thank you..."
"You have such a pretty face, it will get ruined if you keep crying. Go wash your face, and then go out with me to eat something."
"Um……"
Mu Qingluan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, and turned to wash her face.
Soon, she changed her attitude, and the depression and worry in her heart disappeared, and she went out with Xiao Li openly.
