Chapter 513 (2): Meeting Cui Dongshan
Zhu Quan was rather perplexed by his panicked reaction. Even in the face of Gao Cheng, he hadn't displayed any fear at all, yet for some reason, the prospect of others misconstruing their friendship as a romantic entanglement had him so terrified that even his face had turned pale.
Am I that ugly?! Alright, fine, I'm definitely not the prettiest.
Before Zhu Quan even had a chance to extend a hand, Chen Ping'an had already pulled out another flagon of immortal wine from his minimization treasure, and he said, "I really don't have much left, so I'll just have to owe you for now. I'll make sure to bring you an extensive selection of fine wine once I've completed my journey across the Northern Complete Reed Continent."
Zhu Quan waved a dismissive hand. She had already taken three flagons of fine wine from him, and she was still yet to finish the one in her hand.
However, Chen Ping'an had already tossed the flagon of wine at her as he said, "Please make do with this for now, Sect Leader Zhu. I'll bring you some more when I visit Wood Garment Mountain in the future. If the opportunity to visit does not arise, then I'll send someone to deliver the wine to you on Wood Garment Mountain."
After that, he raised a hand to summon Sword Immortal back to his side, then fled the scene as if he were running for his life.
Zhu Quan gently picked up Zhou Mili as she watched the fleeing Chen Ping'an with a puzzled expression.
Surely he has no lack of girls pining for his favor. On top of that, he's already very accomplished and assertive for his age, so why does he still seem like a shy little boy when it comes to things like this?
Zhu Quan shook her head to rid herself of the errant train of thought. Given the heavy losses that Gao Cheng had just suffered, there was most likely going to be some turmoil in the Malicious Ghost Valley.
With that in mind, she departed southward.
There were some things that she wanted to say, but couldn't.
The knots in one's heart could only be untied by oneself, particularly when it came to those who weren't normally the type to develop fixations, but had developed a rare fixation.
