Chapter 533: Chapter 535: Following Your Footsteps (Part Four)
But just one month after Ye Wuchen left, an unexpected guest arrived at Alchemy Tower.
Inside the living room, the man’s silver hair was gently lifted by the breeze, his features cool and distant. His naturally refined and otherworldly temperament made him appear even more like a Banished Immortal, and his tea-drinking was exceptionally graceful.
Mu Ruyue was taken aback for a moment before she approached, “Murong Qingchu, what brings you here?”
As if he heard the woman’s voice, Murong Qingchu slightly raised his head, a smile spreading across his face. When he smiled, it was as though flowers blossomed everywhere, beautiful beyond compare.
“I owed you a favor. I’m here to repay it.”
In the past, Mu Ruyue had refined an elixir that saved Murong Qingchu’s life. He had promised to divine her future, but he ended up unable to measure it, so the debt remained.
Mu Ruyue arched an eyebrow: “I wonder how you plan to repay me.”
Murong Qingchu slowly set down his teacup and started smiling faintly, “Ye Wuchen’s whereabouts!”
It was as though a heavy stone struck her heart harshly – Mu Ruyue’s heart trembled. She raised her eyes to look at the man’s ethereal beauty and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know where Wuchen is?”
“It’s not that I know, but rather, I am the only one in the world who does,” Murong Qingchu said, gazing at the woman’s anxious face, a complex light in his eyes.
This woman was always so breathtakingly beautiful and indifferent, yet only when she faced that man did such human emotions emerge.
“Where is he?” Mu Ruyue took a deep breath and asked.
Observing the woman’s expression, Murong Qingchu smiled lightly, “The Boundless Channel!”
“The Boundless Channel?”
“Correct,” Murong Qingchu nodded and continued unhurriedly, “The Boundless Channel is a place completely different from the Central Continent, just as dangerous, but two years in the Boundless Channel equates to only one month here… I don’t know how he discovered the way there, but I did indeed find out through divination that he has gone to that place.”
He couldn’t see the future of these two people clearly either.
However, if one wanted to find them, it would still be very easy to do, and that is why he had come to see Mu Ruyue…
“Can you tell me how to get there?”
Murong Qingchu slightly lowered his gaze, a trace of light flickering through his solemn eyes, “I can take you there. However, whether you’ll arrive depends on your own efforts.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Ruyue smiled lightly, “Since he went to the Boundless Channel, then I will certainly follow in his footsteps to that place.”
Murong Qingchu’s smile remained unchanged, yet he sighed, “Your feelings for that man truly make people envious…”
“There’s no need for pointless talk,” Mu Ruyue lifted her eyebrows, “When do we leave?”
Since there was still some time before the Medical Immortal’s assembly, she could find Wuchen and still make it back in time. Moreover, two years in the Boundless Channel might allow her strength to grow to a greater height…
“Right now.”
Murong Qingchu slowly stood up, “I’ll take you to the Boundless Channel now.”
The entrance to the Boundless Channel was situated atop a mountain range on the continent, not very far from Fengyun Empire. One could reach it with a day’s journey.
Atop this mountain range, there was a massive gate, although it was usually concealed. Upon arriving at the mountain range, Murong Qingchu did something on the ground, and with a loud rumble, the huge gate appeared before her.
