Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 259: Moon Soul Spirit Bracelet Letter

Yunshui City.

The city is bustling with people coming and going.

On both sides of the street, there are many shops, and the sounds of hawking and talking are heard one after another...

It was sunset, and the afterglow dyed the sky orange and red.

At this time, a graceful young man with a jade-faced appearance and a yellow-haired Taoist priest walked leisurely into the city.

The people who came were Li Qingyuan and the old ox that had transformed into a human form.

Li Qingyuan has a slender figure, and is dressed in white clothes as white as snow, like a banished immortal. His sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes reveal his innate free and unrestrained nature.

The old yellow ox standing shoulder to shoulder with it has a completely different style, with a head of messy yellow hair that is wantonly flaunted;

The Taoist robe he was wearing was wrinkled, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time, and it fluttered in the wind, looking extremely funny.

The two walked on the bluestone street, and the eyes of many women along the way were involuntarily attracted to Li Qingyuan——

Some glance shyly to the side, some gaze boldly, their admiration is evident in their words.

Li Qingyuan seemed unaware of it, his expression indifferent, and he walked with steady steps straight towards the Treasure Pavilion.

On the other hand, the old ox's eyes were rolling around, and he would grin at the young women around him from time to time.

When he opened his mouth, he saw a row of yellowed and uneven teeth, and the two front teeth were particularly noticeable as they were missing, causing him to speak with a slight lisp.

This appearance immediately made the women look disgusted. They turned their heads away and muttered to themselves:

"This old man is so ugly... that young man is more handsome..."

The old ox, however, seemed to have no idea what embarrassment was, and continued to do as it pleased, its yellow hair dancing freely in the wind.

It was out of tune with his Taoist robe, but it did not affect his enjoyment at all.

........

Soon, the two arrived at the Treasure Pavilion in Yunshui City.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, the old ox seemed to have ADHD, touching this exquisite ornament on the left and glancing at that ancient scroll on the right;

From time to time, he would stretch out his fingers and tap on objects a few times... He looked like he was having a lot of fun.

Li Qingyuan, however, remained calm. He raised his hand to call over a maid and asked softly, "Is Manager Song here?"

The maid raised her eyes and saw such a handsome young man. She was delighted and responded quickly:

"Yes, yes, please wait here for a moment, sir."

After saying that, she walked upstairs with light and graceful steps.

She has been in this treasure pavilion for many years and has long developed a keen eye for judging people.

She knew very well that the young man with such outstanding temperament in front of her must be from a big family, and he must have come here for a big deal!

Li Qingyuan walked to a counter where various exquisite ornaments were placed.

He glanced around and was attracted by one of the jade bracelets. He picked it up gently with his slender fingers and placed it in front of his eyes to observe and play with it carefully.

The jade bracelet has a smooth texture and soft color, and you can tell at a glance that it is made of extraordinary material.

........

After a while, a gentle male voice sounded beside him:

"My friend, are you interested in this 'Moon Soul Spirit Fat Bracelet' made of the finest mutton-fat jade and the essence of the moon?"

Li Qingyuan raised his eyes and saw that the person coming was none other than Mr. Song, the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion.

Shopkeeper Song was dressed in a brocade robe, had a kind face, and his eyes were shrewd and wise.

He just continued to introduce:

"This jade bracelet is a magical object from heaven and earth. On full moon nights, it absorbs the power of moonlight, possessing magical effects such as increasing cultivation speed and allowing the use of moonlight spells."

"If you like it, I can give it to you for free."

"No need." Li Qingyuan waved his hand gently, his expression calm. "Manager Song, may I have a moment to talk?"

Although Shopkeeper Song was full of doubts, he still had a warm smile on his face and nodded in response:

"Young friend, please follow me to the third floor."

After saying that, he made a "please" gesture, raised his right hand slightly, and pointed in the direction of the stairs.

Li Qingyuan didn't say much and walked upstairs.

........

On the third floor, in a private room.

The private room is decorated in a simple and elegant style. The sandalwood tables and chairs emit a faint wood fragrance. There are several landscape paintings hanging on the wall, which looks quite elegant.

The two of them sat down as host and guest, and a set of antique tea sets was placed on the sandalwood table.

"Watch the tea." Shopkeeper Song ordered softly.

The maid behind him immediately stepped forward, picked up the teapot with skillful movements, and poured tea for the two of them. The steaming aroma of tea instantly filled the air.

Shopkeeper Song gently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked with a leisurely look:

"My friend, what's the important matter that you are looking for me?"

Li Qingyuan did not hesitate and said straight to the point:

"Shopkeeper Song, I do have something to ask, and I hope you can tell me the truth."

Shopkeeper Song nodded slightly, his eyes calm, waiting for the next step.

"Where is Yue Qinghuan now?" Li Qingyuan looked directly at Shopkeeper Song with burning eyes.

........

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Song frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Young friend, do you know my young lady?"

"Of course, we are friends."

Li Qingyuan looked calm, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I missed her so much that I came here to talk to her."

"Hmm?..." Shopkeeper Song looked at the young man in front of him and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he suddenly asked, "What's your name, young friend?"

"Li Qingyuan."

"?" Shopkeeper Song's eyes flashed with doubt, "Don't talk nonsense, my friend. I have seen Li Xiaoyou before, and you are not him."

I really am... Li Qingyuan was somewhat helpless, "Shopkeeper Song, just tell me where Yue Qinghuan is."

But Shopkeeper Song was not in a hurry. He took out a letter wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve, and then took out a portrait and placed it on the wooden table.

The person in the portrait is Li Qingyuan.

I only heard Shopkeeper Song say, "My friend, this is the letter left by the young lady."

"As long as you can prove that you are the person in this painting, or a close friend of Li Xiaoyou, I can give you the letter."

........

Li Qingyuan was completely convinced. Yue Qinghuan was really cautious enough.

In desperation, he had to stop using the Thousand Faces Disguise Technique and return to his original appearance - a charcoal face and a big bald head!

"This..." Shopkeeper Song was stunned when he saw this sudden change.

He subconsciously looked down at the portrait on the wooden table. His mind went blank for a moment, and he felt a little uncertain.

He picked up the portrait, brought it close to Li Qingyuan's face, compared it carefully, and murmured, "There is some resemblance..."

Li Qingyuan was speechless and just stared at Shopkeeper Song.

His eyes were full of helplessness, as if to say, "Who else could it be but this person?", as if to say: It's so obvious, can't you see it?

Shopkeeper Song felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. He coughed twice in embarrassment before asking:

"Little friend Li, why are you..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qingyuan knew what he wanted to ask and said calmly, "He was struck by lightning!"

After saying that, he reached out and picked up the letter on the table, and couldn't wait to open it and read it.
