Chapter 97: Extra: Deep Dream
Laying down to rest, yet opening the eyes to find oneself in a different place━this was not his first time in such a situation, so Shen Qingqiu was not flustered. He knew he had entered the dreamscape of Luo Binghe again. After drifting for a while, he carelessly landed on the ground.
Once he hit the ground, the scene immediately changed, as if riding the wind and treading the willows. All around him was splendid gold and brilliant jade, the decoration style gorgeous and extravagant, as well as a very familiar promenade. This was 100% the Huan Hua Palace.
After passing through this promenade, at the end was the main hall and stateroom of the Huan Hua Palace. In the past, Luo Binghe himself would already be waiting for him within the dreamscape. But this time there was not a glimpse of him, making this a strange event.
There was someone in the hall. Shen Qingqiu saw the person's back view looked familiar, and when he moved closer, he found an even stranger event and said in shock: "Mu-shidi?"
This respectfully standing 'Mu Qingfang' was only a phantom in the memory of Luo Binghe, and naturally could not hear his salutation. This shidi has always been friendly and good-natured, but right now standing in the middle of the hall, he did not have a pleasant expression on his face.
Shen Qingqiu remembered hearing a rumor across the Jianghu1 that soon after he cheated death to escape, Luo Binghe brought Mu Qingfang back to the Huan Hua Palace and forced him to 'treat Shen Qingqiu's disease'. He realized this scene must definitely be from that time.
A dark shadow swept soundlessly by his side, and Luo Binghe's voice sounded: "Sir Mu."
The eyes of this 'Luo Binghe' did not reflect Shen Qingqiu's figure and he was unaware of his existence. This was not Luo Binghe himself, only a memory.
Shen Qingqiu wondered, could it be that he drifted into the range of the dreamscape where even Luo Binghe himself had no control?
Luo Binghe's attitude and manner of address could not be described as disrespectful. Mu Qingfang said: "Your Excellency2 refers to me as 'Sir Mu'. Do you or do you not acknowledge yourself as a member of the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect?"
Luo Binghe: "Whether I acknowledge it or not, does it matter?"
