The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 842 - 464: Tantai

"I tried it before. I once didn’t see him for several months, but when we met again, he was still indifferent. When men pursued me, I responded a little," Hu Huo’er bit her lip and said, "but when Tantai saw it occasionally, he didn’t have any reaction."

Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t help but laugh. After all, she’s a woman, naturally good at acting, subconsciously wanting to make Tantai a little jealous, but it seems it didn’t work. "Your beauty is outstanding, is there a man in this group behind us pursuing you now?"

"Yes." Hu Huo’er reached out to arrange her hair. As long as it didn’t involve Tantai Yi, she immediately returned to her generous personality, "There’s a man called Xu Liangyu at the back, the young master of the Washing Sword Pavilion. After encountering him on this trip to the Northwest, he has followed us, and has expressed his intentions many times along the way."

"Did you show any pretense to him?"

"Just a few perfunctory words." Being with Tantai Yi day in and day out, if it weren’t for Xu Liangyu’s reaction, she would have thought her appearance was no longer attractive.

"Does Tantai know he’s pursuing you?"

"Of course, he knows." Hu Huo’er was a bit frustrated, "But he doesn’t show any indication."

"Sister Huo’er." Ning Xiaoxian held her beautiful shoulders with both hands and said seriously, "Since that’s the case, let’s have Xu Liangyu test Tantai Xu and see if he really has feelings for you or not."

"How to test?" Hu Huo’er asked curiously, "And why would Xu Liangyu help me with this favor?" Although she and Ning Xiaoxian hadn’t been together for long, she knew this girl had many crafty ideas, and she often found herself unknowingly led by her.

Ning Xiaoxian smiled with a trace of mischief, "I believe Mr. Xu will agree, I’m usually very persuasive. If Tantai Xu has feelings for you, I’ll find a way to pair you two; but if he’s really indifferent to you, then you two are meant to meet but not to be together, you should let go when it’s time."

This last sentence made Hu Huo’er’s eyes shimmer with tears. But she blinked a few times and blinked back the tears, saying, "Okay, if he’s truly cold-hearted, I’ll let go. What should I do now?"

"One last question: Is Tantai a responsible guy?"

Hu Huo’er nodded affirmatively, "If he’s not, then I don’t know who else would be."

Ning Xiaoxian smiled contently, and gave her a gentle transmission for a while. After listening to a few words, Hu Huo’er’s face turned as red as if it were on fire, even though she was cheerful, far from being as shy as most girls, she was still shocked, "Really, can it be done this way?"

Ning Xiaoxian chuckled, "Follow the clever plan, and you’ll get what you wish for. In short, will you do it or not?"

Finally, her bold nature prevailed, and Hu Huo’er gritted her silver teeth, "I’ll do it!"

The two discussed for a while longer, but the convoy stopped.

The six-legged giant horse was not slow. After traveling for two hours, they were now far from the battle location. The bandits seemed familiar with this area and found a small mountain pass to stop. The terrain here was like a Z-shaped corner, with towering stone walls on three sides, blocking the howling north wind, and with only one side facing the wind, it felt much quieter. Even the cultivators, walking in from the surrounding wind and snow, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Yunzhang ordered a few sharp-eyed ones to fly up the stone wall to keep watch, while others blocked the entrance with bronze carts one after another. The carts were over ten feet high (four meters), and blocking the entrance reduced much of the wind and cold for the people trapped in the small mountain pass.

Some started a fire with collected wood, and felled giant trees as benches for resting. For cultivators, these tasks were a matter of seconds, and the firelight made everyone’s faces ruddy, warming them to the heart, making the camp lively at once.

It’s not that everyone didn’t want to keep traveling, but the rescued maids looked pale, exhausted to death. They had already been frightened by the chaos earlier in the night, and after traveling for more than an hour, their bodies were really unfit to move on. When the other Beauty Collection Team realized Zhongli Hao’s group was missing, it would be at least by tomorrow morning, by then the bandits would’ve long fled, so time wasn’t as pressing.

Of course, the world of snow outside the cart was too cold, and the women, at most, wrapped themselves snugly before walking a couple of rounds outside and then returning, unlike the cultivators who could sit for a long time.
