Flying Dust [Fei Chen]

Chapter 40.1

“Actually the ‘evil thoughts’ that Lu Qingmo refers to should be the natural feelings. Those feelings are not something that you can control whether they come or not, all you can do is to suppress it or to choose.”

“What are you talking about?” I didn’t study philosophy for many years.

“Nothing.” He Yunfeng kissed Mo Fei Chen on the corner of his brow, “Are you coming to the banquet tonight? From your personality, you don’t seem to like these social occasions.”

“I indeed don’t like it, when I’m having a good meal, people always come to propose a toast, as if it’s not loyal and polite enough if I don’t drink. Yunfeng, how about you also don’t go and we’ll have a special dinner in the room instead?”

“I can’t do it this time. It’s a big deal for Wen Manor Leader to inherit the Qian Yun Sword. I have to explain the matter clearly in front of those martial artists so that Wen Manor Leader can save himself a lot of trouble.”

“Alright then, I’m still willing to stay in the room.” Mo Fei Chen wrinkled his nose.

In the evening, there was a big banquet in the manor and a small one in Mo Fei Chen’s room, but unfortunately he was the only one eating.

Hm, Hm, this scalloped pork is quite tender, the pork knuckles are not too greasy either. Look, look, the chef at Mu Yun Mountain Manor is indeed different. When we go back, I’ll ask He Yunfeng to tell Wen Qing Yuan that we should also get a new chef too.

Mo Fei Chen sniffed at the dish, why is there a sweet smell like osmanthus fragrans? Could it be that Nian Gao 1[New Year cake, typically a sweet, steamed cake made with glutinous rice flour]made from osmanthus flowers? He scanned the dishes on the table, not to mention the Nian Gao with osmanthus flowers, not even the fish cooked with osmanthus flowers.

He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, but there was a wheat pipe sticking out of the window and smoke was coming out of it. 

He Yunfeng was right, he did not have enough experience in Jiang Hu.

Mo Fei Chen held his breath and pretended to collapse on the table.

The door opened and someone came in to carry him onto her shoulders. This person was a woman, with a scarf on her face, it was impossible to guess who it was.

Fine, let’s see where you’re taking me? 

The woman’s Qing Gong was pretty good. She led him out of Mu Yun Mountain Manor in less than half of a quarter of an hour. First, because most of the people had gathered in the banquet hall, second was because the woman seemed to know the terrain of the manor very well, so she easily avoided the disciples who carried the inspection tour task. 

Mo Fei Chen hit his own head in his heart, who else could this person be but Li Bilian?

They were already walking and passing through the woods to the side of the mountain manor, Mo Fei Chen’s mouth curved up in a curve as he patted her on the shoulder and said, “Madam Dian, don’t you feel tired of carrying me on your back? I can walk on my own!”

Li Bilian was startled and threw him down, but Mo Fei Chen reached out extremely well and with a smooth flip stood firmly in front of Li Bilian. 

“You didn’t pass out?” Li Bilian took off her veil, and there was a scar on her face that seemed to have just formed a scab. 

“I passed out for a little while, thank you for carrying me out to get some fresh air.” Mo Fei Chen was leaning against a tree, looking at her with his tilted head. His eyes expression was a little bad, especially in the faint moonlight, and he had the taste of a handsome young man. If Li Bilian had been 15 or 20 years younger, she might have her young girl’s heart be rippled. 

Li Bilian was about to use her sword qi, but Mo Fei Chen came to her and grabbed her wrist. His internal strength had improved a lot since the sword seed was reshaped, “Madam Dian, I am not the same as I used to be. Three years ago you may not have been my opponent, and today you are even less so.”

Li Bilian gritted her teeth and took her Qi back, “I did not come to you with any evil intent, but there is something I must let others know, or I will not die in peace.”2[死不瞑目: not close one’s eyes when one dies—die with a grievance (or everlasting regret); die discontent]

“What is it?” Mo Fei Chen frowned, there must be a very important reason for Li Bilian to risk so much to sneak into Mu Yun Mountain Manor where so many sect leaders were gathered.

“The tunnel that leads to the Luo Lianyun tomb was indeed dug by me and my husband.”

“Uh-huh, you guys indeed succeeded in obtaining Luo Lianyun’s sword seed too ah.”

“Sword seed? That could be considered as something given to us by Wen Qian Liu!” Li Bilian turned back with tears in her eyes.

“What did you say? Wen Qian Liu is the one who gave it to you guys?”

“That day my husband and I entered the tomb, Wen Qian Liu was in there. My husband and I decided to give up because we were no match for him, but he pretended not to see us and left as he closed the tomb.”

“What?” Mo Fei Chen’s eyes widened, couldn’t be that Wen Qian Liu was intended to lock them up in the tomb with Luo Lianyun, could he? He should have seen that they had dug a tunnel to get in or maybe…he had night blindness, so he really didn’t see the two thieves couples.

“My husband wants to go and get the sword seed from Luo Lianyun but I think something is not right, so I’d like to say just forget it.”

“But your husband thinks it’s a rare opportunity, you guys already come this far, so what’s there to be afraid of?”

“That’s right, Now that I think about it, this is Wen Qianliu’s full trick. He must have known that when we had the Qian Yun Sword, we have to looking for a place to hide and train so that we can improve our internal power to use the sword seed, wait until he finds us and later he will kill us, then he will be able to take back the sword seed and perfectly justifiable to have it in his name!”

Mo Fei Chen trembled in his heart. In that case, Wen Qian Liu would come and tell He Yunfeng, actually he was not seeking and asking for his help, but to let him become his witness instead.

“Just because someone says something, doesn’t mean that it’s true. Are Wen Qian Liu not afraid that you guys won’t let him find where both of you and your husband were hiding, resulting that he can’t find you guys. In a few years’ time, you two will be the peerless master and make a comeback to JIang Hu, then he’ll be in deep shit!” It was simply that he had given away a bride, to lose one’s army as well. 3[赔了夫人又折兵: give one’s enemy a wife and lose soldiers to the enemy as well—pay a high price (for trying to outwit another); pay dearly for one’s cunning/ to suffer a double loss after trying to trick the enemy. ]
