Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1125 Drunken Confusion at the Fortune Tower

The fleeting world is like smoke and clouds, everything within reach is a mystery, and the ends of the earth seem like an illusion.

Stepping into Yanquan, Shen Yichen considered retreating, escaping, advancing, and facing the situation, but he never considered getting lost!

Inside the Fortune Tower, Shen Yichen was somewhat confused; amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, his mind was a complete mess.

Within the Fortune Tower lie the righteous and the wicked, and between them lies fine wine; in the mortal world, there are near and far relationships, and between those near and far, there are cups and goblets.

All of this was real, yet Shen Yichen felt it was all so dreamlike. Was this the balance between good and evil he sought? Was this the meaning behind the thousand-year existence of Luowu Ancient City?

It built a bridge between good and evil, allowing people with grudges and hatred to walk on it!

Why does Shen Yichen always feel like he's walking on the Tianzhan Bridge in Jingyun Gorge?

Shen Yichen was a little drunk. Although Mu Qingxue was right next to him, drinking with his arm around his, Shen Yichen felt that there was a very, very far distance between him and Mu Qingxue.

Mu Qingxue seemed to be standing on the bank of Jingyun Gorge, while he was walking on Tianzhan Bridge. Moreover, Shen Yichen held two knives in his hands, one on his left and one on his right, ready to cut Tianzhan Bridge in half at any moment.

Shen Yichen suddenly pushed Mu Qingxue and Yixuan away from him, stood up and looked around.

Mu Qingxue and Yi Xuan were both a little confused.

Gongsun Qingmu and Murong Ruoshui, who were sitting at the same table and were quite drunk, burst into laughter!

"Brother-in-law, what do you think? My sister is still better, isn't she? She can travel the world with you anytime!"

"Brother-in-law, some women are okay to look at and play around with, but you can't take them seriously. They know it's wrong but still insist on doing it, and the result is just like being drunk. When drunk, they feel like they're floating on air, but when they sober up, it's all just a dream!"

Mu Qingxue was naturally angry. Just as she was about to raise her wine glass to throw at Murong Ruoshui, Murong Ruoshui simply slumped onto the table.

In Jianying City, these two young masters could never outdrink Shen Yichen, and the same is true now!

"Brother-in-law, there are some feelings you can't touch, and there are some things you absolutely mustn't get involved in!"

Gongsun Qingmu tried to get up and pat Shen Yichen on the shoulder, but as soon as he stood up, he collapsed against the railing.

The guards protecting the two young masters did not move.

Shen Yichen wanted to see everyone in the Fortune Tower clearly, but he was really a little drunk.

Without the Qiankun Jade Pendant, Shen Yichen's drunkenness wouldn't automatically dissipate; Yixuan and Mu Qingxue had just deliberately plied him with alcohol again!

Shen Yichen saw Yun Yushan, the one-armed man, the Nalan family member with a gun being chased by the Shadow Hall, and three people in wheelchairs!

Shen Yichen was taken aback.

Yun Tianming, Ji Wumo, and Zhuo Mofan were all at the Fortune Tower.

Shen Yichen didn't notice it when he first entered the second floor!

Also there are Ji Yihong and Hong Ling, people from Wulang Academy, and those two rogue monsters and the female ghost!

Everyone remained calm and composed, appearing unperturbed.

Shen Yichen kept shaking his head. Why did he feel like he was dreaming?

Through the haze, Shen Yichen saw a ghost face.

"Qingxue, I've finally found you! You scared your uncle to death!"

The masked man, Mu Qiu, arrived and immediately embraced Mu Qingxue, who was standing next to Shen Yichen.

"Uncle, I'm fine, don't worry!"

Mu Qingxue still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen looked at the people in the Fortune Tower through his drunken eyes, and they were all looking at him.

Shen Yichen is the focus of the Fortune Tower!

In recent days, the chosen one, the former young master of the Ji family, has been the talk of the town in Yanquan.

"You brat, you've never gotten drunk while drinking in the vast desert. What's wrong? Are you really captivated by Qingxue?"

Mu Qingxue blushed and gently punched the masked man a few times.

"Uncle, you mustn't make fun of me!"

"Senior, what I'm intoxicated by isn't worldly love, but the affairs of the martial world. Since we can sit together in the same pavilion, what are you fighting over?"

"You'll have to ask yourself that. Cultivating both righteousness and evil will ultimately lead to becoming a demon. If you don't become a demon, then righteousness and evil might actually be able to coexist. Since ancient times, righteousness and evil have been difficult to coexist because the union of righteousness and evil will produce a bloodthirsty demon. The righteous path cannot tolerate it, nor can the demonic path!"

Shen Yichen tilted his head back and drank, letting out a cold snort:

"What does this have to do with me! People have a heart and a face, whether they are righteous or evil. It's hard to tell the difference between the heart and the face, whether one is righteous or evil!"

Shen Yichen staggered toward Xiao Youxin and Jian Chenqing's table.

In his most confused moment, Shen Yichen actually walked towards Buddha, whom he hated the most!

"You are all hypocrites; only a naive person is truly a villain!"

Xiao Youxin thought it was a compliment, but he was truly speechless!

"Amitabha! A moment of intoxication can lead to a lifetime of infatuation. Benefactor Shen, only by severing ties of love and affection can you see your true self!"

"Xiao Youxin, shut up! He's your brother-in-law. Don't call him anything else from now on!"

Mu Qingxue sat down next to Shen Yichen again, and at this moment she understood the pain in Shen Yichen's heart.

Between Shen Yichen and the martial arts world, and between Shen Yichen and the mortal world, lies the struggle between good and evil!

Yixuan followed along and obediently poured himself a cup of tea.

"Young Master, have a cup of tea to sober up. Didn't you want to eat the Love Melon? I won't cause trouble this time. I also want to see if the bond between good and evil will break!"

Shen Yichen downed his drink in one gulp, patted Yixuan on the shoulder, and said firmly:

"No, absolutely not! As long as the Ji family doesn't interfere, there will be compassion between good and evil!"

"Really? Miss Mu, is that what you think too? Do you think the Dragon Demon Army came to welcome you, or to sever your emotional ties?"

Mu Qingxue looked at Yi Xuan and gave a cold smile!

"Whether it's the Ji family or the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, I'll make sure neither of you can sever the bond between me and him!"

Inside the Fortune Tower, only Jian Chenqing and Shen Yichen understood the meaning behind Mu Qingxue's words.

It seems that Mu Qingxue is really going to keep this child!

Shen Yichen got up and walked towards Yun Tianming, but he turned back halfway there.

Shen Yichen could not forget the killing intent within Xue Yin's heart, or rather, he felt a silent fear of that inexplicable killing intent.

To Shen Yichen's surprise, the masked man actually sat down at Ji Yihong's table.

The masked man knew Hong Ling and Green Luo, who sat at the same table. Of course, Shen Yichen didn't know that the masked man also knew Ji Che Zhenren from Ling Shuang Valley!

Shen Yichen waved to Ji Yihong.

"Young Master Ji, let me introduce you to a friend, an old friend!"

Ji Yihong was stunned for a moment; he had been staring at Shen Yichen the whole time.

Ji Yihong never expected that the masked man would sit at his table.

A smile appeared on Ji Yihong's lips as she walked towards Shen Yichen.

"Young Master Shen, can I still call you Brother Chen from now on?"

Ji Yihong sat directly to Shen Yichen's right.

At the square table, Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue sat on one side, while Yixuan stood beside Shen Yichen.

Jian Chenqing and Xiao Youxin each sat alone on one side.

"Yi Xuan, pour tea for Young Master Ji!"

"Young Master, he is not worthy. Let Miss Mu fall instead!"

Of course, Yi Xuan wouldn't pour tea for Ji Yi Hong. In her eyes, Ji Yi Hong was nothing!

Ji Yihong didn't care; he had his own magnanimity!

Shen Yichen turned to look at Mu Qingxue. Mu Qingxue had her doubts, but she did indeed pour Ji Yihong a cup of tea.

"please!"

Ji Yihong knew he had to drink this tea, but just as he picked up the cup, Shen Yichen stopped him.

"Wait, Young Master Ji, I need to make you understand why Yi Xuan won't pour you tea!"

Ji Yihong was slightly taken aback, turned her head to look at Yixuan, and looked doubtful.

"Do you still remember that climbing contest we had at Wangyue Tower? We got into a fight on the Star Gazing Platform, and all three of us brothers lost. When my shoulder was about to break, you were so scared you peed your pants. You don't remember that, do you?"

Ji Yihong frowned slightly, and after a moment, exclaimed in surprise:

"He... he's connected to that little girl!"

"It's not just related; she's the little girl who almost chopped off my arm back then, and also Ji Yixuan, who topped the three lists of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion!"

When Yi Xuan first entered the Fortune Tower, he shocked everyone with the death of Su Guangchao. Now, Yi Xuan has shocked everyone again. It is his identity, or rather, just a name—Ji Yixuan!

Everyone in the Fortune Tower looked at Yi Xuan, while others probed his aura.

Yi Xuan pretended not to see or sense anything, and leisurely poured tea for Shen Yichen.

Ji Yihong looked at Yixuan quietly.

"Are you kidding me? It was a girl back then!"

"I've heard that the Ji family possesses an illusion technique called Illusionary Dream Clouds. Do you think it's real or an illusion right now?"

Yi Xuan remained unconcerned and said calmly:

"Young Master, the love melon you ordered has arrived. Would you like to eat it now?"

The waiter, his brow beaded with sweat, carried a loofah he had just bought from Quyangli.
