Chapter 868 - 844 Pure River Fairy (1/3)
Zhou Heng’s timing was impeccable; had he arrived a day later, Zhong Yutian and the others would have already set out.
Early the next morning, Sang Qingshan took Zhou Heng on the road to rendezvous with Zhong Yutian and his group.
They were neither the first nor the last to arrive. Seven people had already gathered before them, hailing from three different families. There were both young men and women, but all seemed to be in their teens or twenties.
—In the world of martial artists, age can no longer be judged by ordinary standards. As long as they look young, that’s all that matters.
"Oh, Sang Qingshan, your injury has healed!" Upon seeing Sang Qingshan, lively and healthy, the seven showed expressions of surprise.
They had witnessed the fight between Sang Qingshan and Zhong Yutian. They clearly understood Zhong Yutian’s intentions and the injuries Sang Qingshan suffered. How could he recover without a month or two of recuperation?
But facts speak louder than words; if this guy with such a radiant appearance were to claim he was sick, then everyone in the world must be ill!
"Of course, it’s healed. It wasn’t a serious injury!" Sang Qingshan said with feigned nonchalance.
For young people, pride is everything.
The seven began whispering among themselves. Sang Qingshan’s dismissive words could hardly put their minds at ease. However, it was evident that Sang Qingshan had no intention of revealing the truth, leaving them frustrated yet helplessly curious.
"Brother Sang, who is this?" A pretty girl in a red dress looked at Zhou Heng, her eyes showing clear curiosity.
Despite Zhou Heng suppressing his aura, reducing his cultivation level appearance to that of the Nascent Soul Realm, he inadvertently exuded an aura of supreme bearing. To men, it was intimidating; to women, it was like the most alluring poison, drawing them in despite knowing the risks.
