C16 Unique Clue

After leaving the city, Ling Tian stood still as he pondered. Now that the clues in the city had been cut off, his only hope was to find the Cold Star Dream and find the location of the treasure map.

Looking at the distant mountains, he sighed, "Where are you now? Sigh! Forget it, I can only go back to the Chu Emperor City and tell Gao Chengwu about the situation, and then ask him if he knows where Leng Tiexin is. "

He made his way to the imperial city and arrived at the foot of the steps leading to the imperial palace. He saw Gao Chengwu standing at the entrance of the main hall, and upon seeing Ling Tian, he hurried over to him.

"How is it?! Ling Tian! Any leads? " Gao Chengwu asked anxiously.

Ling Tian then replied in shame, "Ling Tian has betrayed the City Lord's hopes. Even City Lord Yang does not know where the treasure is."

Hearing Ling Tian's reply, Gao Chengwu slowly walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, staring at the skies above the imperial capital as he said sorrowfully, "This is heaven's will, how could manpower change it? Forget it, you don't have to blame yourself."

Ling Tian followed Gao Chengwu down and asked in a deep voice, "Does the mayor know where Leng Tiexin is?"

Gao Chengwu stopped moving forward, turning his head to look at Ling Tian as he replied, "You want to ask about the treasure map, right?"

Ling Tian then asked happily, "Could it be that the mayor knows about this as well?"

Gao Chengwu continued walking down, and after a long time, he said, "I was curious to ask Leng Tiexin, but he only replied," The treasure map is in an extremely dangerous location, that is something an extraordinary person can handle. Unless there is a crisis, you cannot speak of it, unless … "

Ling Tian asked anxiously, "Unless what?"

Gao Chengwu hesitated for a while, then he lowered his head and replied, "Unless there's a Divine War God who can come here and obtain treasures."

"So you're saying that Leng Tiexin has already been here?" Ling Tian asked in puzzlement.

Gao Chengwu nodded his head, "Yes, according to what he said, at that time he was wholeheartedly trying to get stronger, and he also wanted this treasure. However, at the foot of the mountain of treasures, he gave up on this idea and didn't go into detail."

Ling Tian then asked again, "Then where is Leng Tiexin now? Does the Mayor know? "

He shook his head and said, "He knew it was best not to do it. Before he went berserk, he also lived in the city, but after he found out that there were too many people who wanted to find the treasure map, he decided to live in seclusion in the Valley of the Butterfly Goddess at the bottom of Broken Wind Cliff. He then disappeared without a trace."

Ling Tian then walked up to Gao Chengwu and cupped his hands, "As long as there's a sliver of hope, I'm willing to walk around."

After bidding Gao Chengwu farewell, he headed towards the Broken Wind Cliff.

After exiting the city, he opened the map to confirm the route. He estimated that he would need to travel for a day before leaving Lin City.

After crossing two mountain ranges, he had exhausted too much of his physical strength. He was extremely thirsty, so he landed in a nearby forest. After sizing up his surroundings, he walked towards a wide and empty path.

After walking for about five minutes, he heard the sound of running water. After confirming the direction, he pushed open the branches and a small mountain stream appeared in front of him. He walked to a rock and stuck his head out, drinking it in one gulp.

After washing himself, he leaned against a rock and closed his eyes to rest. He thought to himself, "Why didn't I encounter any beast race along the way? How strange." At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew past the forest.

Ling Tian got up and quickly followed. He saw that person wearing dark green robes, scurrying around the forest with extreme agility.

After following them for a while, when Ling Tian arrived at a spacious area, the other party had disappeared without a trace, causing Ling Tian to be puzzled as to who this person was and why he was here. Looking at his movement technique, he should be an expert.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Ling Tian also sped up his footsteps, but before nightfall, he only arrived at the Broken Wind Cliff. Looking around, he saw a thick locust tree and jumped onto a branch, seeing the sky gradually darken, he thought to himself, "Let's rest on the tree tonight." But his stomach rumbled from not having eaten all day, so he could only go and get some food in the morning.

The next morning, just as the sun rose, Ling Tian could no longer sit still. His stomach was growling from hunger, and he was powerless to land on the ground as he took out his two swords and started searching in all directions. When he arrived at a patch of grass, he saw a rabbit eating its youth carefully.

After a while of work, he leaned on the rock and ate the roasted rabbit like a hungry tiger, rubbed his stomach, stood up and stretched, put away his swords, stood at the edge of the cliff, looked down, there was a basin full of flowers, took a deep breath, then leaped and spun around, soaring into the sky like an eagle.

Looking down, he saw a thatched cottage by a tree at the foot of the mountain. He adjusted his direction and dove down towards the house, landing on a patch of green grass about twenty steps away from the hut.

He knocked lightly on the door, but it was opened.

Puzzled, he asked, "Is there anyone here?"

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a wooden table with clean and tidy tableware. Seeing that there were two other rooms, he walked forward and was about to push aside the curtains to take a look when he heard someone shout from outside, "Father! "Did you come back?"

Ling Tian was stunned, not knowing what to do. Looking around, he realized that there was nowhere for him to hide, for others to see him enter the house without greeting him. He had been treated like a thief, and before he could regain his senses, the lady who had just shouted had already reached the door.

Ling Tian looked at it and was shocked. Then, with an embarrassed expression, he said, "It's you! What a coincidence! "Hahaha!"

This person was Leng Xingmeng.

Seeing that it was Ling Tian, Leng Xingmeng was also shocked, and started cursing, "So it's you, you bastard! What are you doing in my room! "

Ling Tian then stammered, "Miss Leng, don't be so agitated! "Listen to my explanation first, this is what happened..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Leng Xingmeng picked up the wooden stick on the door and waved it at him angrily, "Explain your ass! "Let's watch the fight!"

Seeing the situation, Ling Tian immediately covered his head and ran out the door to explain, "I really didn't do it on purpose! When I knocked on the door, it opened itself! "

Leng Xingmeng chased after him and angrily said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?! The door will open by itself, and even if it does, are you being sucked in! "

After running for some time, Ling Tian turned around and saw that Leng Xingmeng was also exhausted from running, so he held onto the wooden stick while breathing heavily. He stopped and said, "Miss Leng, can you please let me finish? "I've come to find you for the treasure map …"

The moment Leng Xingmeng heard about the treasure map, she became even angrier. She brandished her wooden stick and charged towards him again.

Seeing this, Ling Tian couldn't do anything either. He activated Stealth and dodged to the side.

Leng Xingmeng could not believe her eyes. Rubbing her eyes, she still could not see Ling Tian as she said in panic, "Are you a ghost?! Don't scare me, I won't hit you anymore, hurry up and come out! "

Seeing that Leng Xingmeng still believed in ghosts and gods, Ling Tian snickered as he walked behind her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Ah!" Leng Xingmeng immediately turned her head and saw Ling Tian holding onto her stomach laughing, her face turning red from anger as she swung her wooden stick. Ling Tian was hit in the head as he said in a daze, "Didn't you say you wouldn't hit me?" With that, he fell to the ground.

Leng Xingmeng was also frightened as she said in a low voice, "Hey! What's the matter with you! "Hey …"

After being unconscious for an unknown amount of time, Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his head. His fist sized bag was placed on his forehead as he scolded, "Your actions are too ruthless!"

Sitting up, walking to the door, he saw Leng Xingmeng cutting wood, sticking to the door and looking at her, only to see her long hair coiled around her head, wearing a hairpin, with two long strands of hair at her temples, and a face covered with sweat, big eyes, a thin nose, a cherry mouth, and a oval face. She was wearing a purple sand jacket, a short skirt, and a jade butterfly at her waist.

Leng Xingmeng seemed to have sensed it too, and looked towards the door. Seeing Ling Tian staring at him in such a perverted manner, she immediately scolded, "Keep looking! I'll dig out your eyes for you! "

Hearing this, Ling Tian immediately came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Beautiful face, shrew mouth."

Hearing Ling Tian muttering, Leng Xingmeng walked over and said angrily, "What were you saying just now?" He still had an axe in his hand as he spoke.

Ling Tian touched the bag on his forehead and immediately replied, "No …" "It's nothing. I was just looking at you. Hur Hur."

Leng Xingmeng rolled her eyes and said, "You don't have the guts to do anything bad!" He continued to chop wood.

Ling Tian walked over and said, "Eh? Lady Leng! I'll do it! "

Leng Xingmeng looked back at Ling Tian and nodded, "That's true! I can't let you live here for free, so just finish hacking off so much! " He pointed to a pile of firewood on the ground.

Ling Tian looked at the pile of firewood on the ground and immediately regretted saying those words.

Seeing that Ling Tian was still hesitating, she scolded, "Hurry up and chop! I'll go cook. If you can't finish it, you don't have to eat anymore! "

At this moment, what Ling Tian regretted the most was not the words he had said just now, but that he should not have saved this shrew at all!

He cursed silently and obediently went to chop firewood.
