CHAPTER 297: twenty years ago (2)

Thankfully, she sneakily refined pills for this stuff and took it out before they could do something to each other. Though they were already intimate earlier but nothing happened between them. but they currently look suspicious with flushed cheeks and disheveled clothes.

"t-that—" tian wuxian stuttered as his ears reddened even more.

"nothing happened, let's fix ourselves and go back" she cut him short and fix herself without looking back at him.

Tian wuxian was silent, he just sighs helplessly and do as she told.

When they arrived in their gathering point via teleportation talisman they didn't spoke to each other and the atmosphere was weird. Yu xue'er, huang xin, and hai xing ze pick on that quickly. Seeing their teasing glances si xiao xiao look away guiltily.

"hehehe, you guys went to the flower fields right?" yu xue'er teased as she picks a stalk of red crumbled flower from tian wuxian's hair.

The two stiffened immediately, xiao xiao snatched the flower and burned it into ashes before anyone could see.

"oh, something wild and interesting must have happened. hahahaha" she laughs heartily while shaking her head.

"I don't get it, what does sister yu xue mean?" little fatty blurted as he eyed them curiously.

"nothing, just eat this" xiao xiao narrowed her eyes and stuff a piece of spirit fruit in little fatty's mouth.

Sensing everyone's playful and teasing eyes, she snorted and boarded the airship.

The journey to the middle realm would take months, so they spend their time wisely. They would cultivate and learn along the way in a relaxed pace. Since they were using an airship they didn't encounter anything life threatening.

Along the way, yu xue'ers mood keeps dropping. Everyone noticed it but they didn't bother her. Yu yue was curious as to the reason so she asks ming yu hua instead.

"well, it wasn't exactly her fault but she keeps blaming herself" ming yu hua sighed as she gazed at the twinkling stars' melancholy.

She started talking about the incident twenty years ago when they still live in the middle realm, yu yue and the others just quietly listened with different expressions and thoughts.

The lower realm was nothing like the other realms, it is still considered as the most peaceful realm of all realms.

In the lower realm, people fought for resources. However, in the middle realm. People fought for supremacy.

It's not comparable to the violence and cruelty in the middle realm were annihilating a clan is as normal as the clouds in the skies.

The ming family is one of the prominent clans in the imperial city, they received glory and jealousy as they rise to the peak.

It wasn't a public secret that the ming clan and the liu clan were struggling for power.

Ming yu xue was still young back then, she was a proud genius and participated in alchemy competitions.
