Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 160: Gossip

Two hours later, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu arrived at the entrance of the most popular restaurant in Dragon City.

"Where do the two seniors want to sit?" A waiter respectfully asked.

"We want a window table in the hall." Zhen Yuan said, and the waiter immediately led the way.

After ordering, the two fell back on their old profession.

"Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu are still hiding in the Divine Rainbow Academy, but how long can they hide?" A male cultivator sneered.

"All high realm cultivators in the Canglan continent are staring at those two. I am afraid they can’t keep their life."

"They would already be dead if Elder Chen didn’t interfere."

"Speaking of Elder Chen..., what is his cultivation level?"

"Isn’t it the nascent soul realm?"

"I also think he is in the nascent soul realm. Maybe the peak of the nascent soul realm."

"I don’t think it’s that simple."

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that even nascent soul realm ancestors are wary of elder Chen. Maybe his cultivation is the spirit transformation realm."

"Spirit transformation realm?" A female cultivator sighed with a yearning look.

"Even if Elder Chen is a spirit transformation realm cultivator, can he compare to the cultivators of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion?"

"What does Elder Chen have to do with the Myriad Treasures Pavillion?"

"Earth fire is not only a rare treasure in the low-level continent but also in the mid and high-level continents. Do you think the cultivators from the Myriad Treasures Pavillion aren’t interested in the earth fire? Do you think Elder Chen will offend the Myriad Treasures Pavillion for Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu?"

"What you say is right. It seems Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu will soon be in trouble."

"They were too greedy. How dare they take Xiao Wan’er’s earth fire?"

"Their greed aside, aren’t they too powerful? Shen Xu is a double, but he can easily kill a late-stage golden core realm cultivator. And that Zhen Yuan..."

"I heard Zhen Yuan has an unimaginable treasure."

"Unimaginable treasure?"

"Think about it. Zhen Yuan is an early-stage golden core realm cultivator. Do you think it makes sense for an early-stage golden core realm to kill a mid-stage nascent soul realm cultivator? Even if Zhen Yuan is a peerless genius, there is no way he can reduce ancestor Xiao to nothing without an invaluable treasure."

"I heard he was waving his talisman brush around while fighting ancestor Xiao."

"Could the treasure be the talisman brush?"

"I also heard ancestor Xiao had many treasures in his space ring."

"Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan are fat sheep that everyone is eyeing. They should just sit and wait to be slaughtered."

"But who can slaughter them? I don’t believe our Canglan cultivators have that chance."

"Isn’t there the Tianqi cultivators if our Canglan cultivators can’t do it?"

"Things are becoming more and more interesting."

While listening to the gossip, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu subtly looked at each other.

[It seems the trouble is more than we expected.] Shen Xu transmitted, and Zhen Yuan nodded.

However, he wasn’t afraid.

Since he dared to expose himself, Zhen Yuan was confident he could keep himself and Shen Xu safe.

[XiaoXu...] He called.

[Mmh.]

[Let’s return to the Academy after we speak with Manager Zhang.]

[What’s the hurry?]

[Those people are right. Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi will be under a lot of pressure to hand us over. Some people may even enter the academy. What we need to do is bring Lin Xiang out and quietly live in Dragon City until the merchant ship departs.]

[Okay. I understand.]

After deciding, they continued to listen to gossip.

"Is what you said true?" A female cultivator asked in an excited voice.

"It’s true. The Xiao family has been destroyed."

"It’s what they deserve." The female said, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

"The Xiao family has done too much evil, and the heavens could no longer tolerate it."

"Who destroyed the Xiao family?"

"I heard it’s the Wang family."

"You heard wrong. It’s the royal family."

"Why would the royal family destroy the Xiao family? I heard Senior Tang destroyed the Xiao family to avenge her daughter."

"What happened to her daughter?"

Hearing this, a male cultivator sighed and quickly continued.

"Young Miss Tang was an absolute beauty and was known as the most beautiful woman in the Dry Mist Empire. As a result, Xiao Wan’er couldn’t tolerate her and destroyed her face."

"This Xiao Wan’er is too vicious."

"If not three hundred, she has destroyed at least two hundred beautiful women and doubles. Anyway, I heard it was Zhen Yuan who destroyed the Xiao family."

"What are you talking about? Zhen Yuan returned to the Divine Rainbow Empire after leaving the Demon Plants Forest."

"I also think it’s impossible for Zhen Yuan to destroy the Xiao family."

"Why not? I have investigated this matter, and I think it’s possible."

"What do you mean?"

"No one saw Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu after they boarded their Academy’s ship. Isn’t it possible they left halfway, rushed to the Dry Mist Empire and killed the Xiao family?"

"Are you making sense? How did they rush? Even if they are golden core realm cultivators and can fly, how far is the Dry Mist empire from the Demon Plants Forest? Do they have a flying ship? Is the flying ship so fast that they rushed to the Dry Mist empire, killed the Xiao family, and rushed back just in time to exit the academy’s ship with the other students?"

"What you said seems to make sense."

"I don’t believe Zhen Yuan killed the Xiao family."

"It doesn’t matter who killed the Xiao family. What matters is that they are dead. Shall we toast to that?"

"This fellow Daoist knows how to enjoy life."

The table burst into laughter, and Shen Xu stared at Zhen Yuan with an amused expression.

[I didn’t expect you would become a suspect in the Xiao family’s massacre.] He smiled, and Zhen Yuan helplessly rubbed his wife’s hair.

However, an aggressive shout suddenly broke the relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant.
