Chapter 1362: Chapter 1388: Don't Let the Aloof Persona Collapse! Chapter 1362: Chapter 1388: Don't Let the Aloof Persona Collapse! Seeing it was a must, but what to see and when to see it, Yang Zhen hadn't figured out yet.
Plans could never keep up with changes, and Yang Zhen had never been the type to plan meticulously before acting. He took things step by step. Often, his various approaches didn't stray from the main principle. As long as his brain was a bit sharper and he himself a bit stronger, then there wouldn't be any problems.
On the Azure Blue planet, it was all about having more money, but here… fists ruled.
However, this time, it wasn't a matter that a single fist from Yang Zhen could solve. It needed many fists, lots and lots of fists.
Lin Ruochu appeared quite excited, as if seeing Luo Jin was a very joyful event.
“Luo Jin holds high prestige within the Western Region Alliance, and he seems to possess information that we're unaware of. By following him, we're sure to see the Barbarian Treasure!”
Seeing the excited expression on Lin Ruochu's face, Yang Zhen asked in surprise, “Just to see the Barbarian Treasure?”
Lin Ruochu hesitated for a moment and laughed, “Even at the top of West Origin Mountain, just seeing the Barbarian Treasure is already quite incredible. Do you also want to obtain it?”
“What, can't I?” Yang Zhen smiled as he looked at Lin Ruochu.
After several days of interaction, Lin Ruochu was no longer as cold as when they first met and would occasionally joke with Yang Zhen.
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Lin Ruochu giggled. She looked at him with a peculiar expression and said, “I recall someone once said something–I've forgotten the exact words–it seemed to be about how a person without dreams is no different from a salted fish.”
Both Yang Zhen and the cheap cat's eyes bulged in astonishment.
“Where did you hear that saying?” Yang Zhen asked curiously.
Lin Ruochu shook her head, “It's said to have been spoken by a young genius from the Northern Domain. I found it interesting, so I remembered it.”
“What's his name?” Yang Zhen and the cheap cat looked at each other, puzzled.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ruochu said, “I've forgotten, but they say this individual is exceptionally talented. However, compared to Mr. Luo, it's hard to say who's superior.”
Yang Zhen nodded, speaking earnestly, “Anyone who can utter such words must be a remarkable person, probably super handsome too and with an impressive-sounding name.”
Lin Ruochu chuckled, “For someone to come so highly regarded by you is indeed rare. Perhaps that fellow would be quite happy to know this.”
“Yeah, he is pretty happy right now!” Yang Zhen grinned wide and winked at Lin Ruochu.
Lin Ruochu paused before turning to ask, “Who exactly are you?”
Yang Zhen shrugged, “Just an ordinary Rogue Practitioner, you know, Yang Tianxiu.”
Lin Ruochu glared at Yang Zhen and said, “If you're not going to say, forget it. With so many people at the top of West Origin Mountain, and with the presence of such august elders, someone will eventually learn of your true origins.”
Yang Zhen chuckled, “Don't worry, I'm not really a good person. Oh, look, we're almost there. Is that West Origin Mountain's peak?”
Seeing the atmosphere grow tense not far ahead, Lin Ruochu put away her jesting demeanor, “Elder Guo will bring people over later. All we have to do is hold this position, preventing the demonic cultivators from finding an opportunity. As for the Barbarian Treasure, just think about it, but don't do anything rash. Even though… even though you're quite formidable, you still fall short of Mr. Luo and Jin Chanzi, among others.”
“Still quite a gap?” Yang Zhen was taken aback and inquisitively asked.
Lin Ruochu nodded, “Of course, there's a significant gap. Although Yang Tiehe is powerful, he is no match for Mr. Luo Jin, not to mention Jin Chanzi. His zen mind is especially formidable.”
Hearing this, Yang Zhen was indeed surprised; he hadn't expected Jin Chanzi and Luo Jin to be so formidable.
Was being one step away from the Saint Sovereign Realm impressive?
Yang Zhen pursed his lips, not bothering to argue with Lin Ruochu–a woman.
Once this Sao Saint shows off, you'll know who the truly formidable one is.
Real powerhouses always make their entrance last, dazzling everyone.
“Damn, cheap cat, make sure the entrance BGM is extra loud later on.”
Yang Zhen turned to tell the cheap cat.
After pondering for a while, the cheap cat said, “Kid, I've used all the BGMs I know. Do you have any fresh ones?”
“””
“That question makes it sound like I, the Sao Saint, am already at my wit's end.”
Yang Zhen then taught a kick-ass BGM to the cheap cat.
The cheap cat's eyes suddenly shone like 200-watt light bulbs.
“Got it memorized?”
The cheap cat grinned and said, “Of course, just wait for your shining entrance.”
Standing to the side, Lin Ruochu watched, dumbfounded, and curiously asked, “What are you two talking about?”
“Nothing much!”
Yang Zhen and the cheap cat said in unison. They exchanged a glance and then both chuckled hehehe.
Damn, I kinda miss that bastard Great Missing Sword.
With Great Missing Sword broken, Evil Shadow Black Glutton was also affected, and the Star Spring Sword had its own sword spirit. Yang Zhen pondered, wondering when he should find a new home for Evil Shadow Black Glutton.
In midair, gusts of gloomy wind made the peak of West Origin Mountain desolate, as if the opening scene of a horror movie, giving Yang Zhen goosebumps.
This icy belle, Lin Ruochu, actually wasn't scared, leaving Yang Zhen's prepared shoulder without a chance to be her support.
What followed was simple. Yang Zhen and Lin Ruochu joined Elder Guo and the others, taking up their positions on the west side of West Origin Mountain's top and watched Jin Chanzi and Luo Jin perform.
Of course, there were many revered ancestors on the peak of West Origin Mountain, and Lin Ruochu wasn't wrong about that.
“See that? That Barbarian oddity eclipsing the sun is a powerhouse from Su Emperor Palace,” Lin Ruochu pointed at Sky-splitting Bull and said.
Yang Zhen was taken aback and exclaimed, “What a grand presence!”
“Naturally, Su Emperor Palace is an extremely mysterious place. Its status in the Western Region prestigious gathering is no less than that of Young Master Luo.”
Lin Ruochu's face flickered with excitement, as if she was standing on the back of Sky-splitting Bull herself.
Yang Zhen suddenly realized, so Su Emperor Palace held such prestige here. He wondered if the empress of Su Emperor Palace had come.
“Look, that… that's actually the Tri-Floral Sanctuary, the legendary Tri-Floral Sanctuary. I'm an admirer of the Tri-Floral Saintess.”
Lin Ruochu suddenly squealed with excitement, her face alight with a girlish expression, completely shedding her icy exterior.
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and muttered, “Way to disgrace the term 'icy'.”
“It's just the Tri-Floral Saintess. She might be my wife the next moment.”
“What?” Lin Ruochu's eyes widened as she said, “Be careful with your words, lest you attract trouble. It's said the Tri-Floral Saintess has been reborn, and she's about your age this life.”
Yang Zhen chuckled and didn't continue the subject.
Clearly, the info from the Central Court was still a bit isolated, as the icy belle Lin Ruochu seemed out of the loop.
Just then, Luo Jin suddenly burst into laughter, facing the forces of Su Emperor Palace and Tri-Floral Sanctuary, and declared loudly, “It's truly my honor to welcome the Tri-Floral Saintess and the empress of Su Emperor Palace in this lifetime.”
Yang Zhen was left agape. That bastard shifted his targets really quickly.
“How about that? Young Master Luo is the one who can stand in front of the empress of Su Emperor Palace and the Tri-Floral Saintess. You must feel pretty bad inside, right?”
Lin Ruochu glanced at Yang Zhen, taking delight in his discomfort.
“Shut it, don't ruin the cool persona.”
Yang Zhen glared at Lin Ruochu irritably.
“Oh, the people from Shaking Light Holy Land are here too!” Lin Ruochu suddenly exclaimed softly.
Yang Zhen grinned. Damn, everyone's almost here. Wonder where that old kid Chen Xiaotian is lying low right now.
