I Truly Am The Villian
Chapter 1476 - 1475: The Girl Li and Past Events
"This is Sect Master Bai of our Immortal Palace.
She may appear cold outside but warm inside; she's actually quite a good person.
It's just that she's a bit aloof in nature.
And previously, when you fell onto our Spirit Ship, many people wanted to throw you off.
It was Sect Master Bai who let you stay."
Upon hearing Lu Wuming's words, Xu Zimei shook his head with a smile.
"Alright, whatever your Sect Master is, as long as she doesn't provoke me, I can't be bothered with her either."
"Where are you from, Brother Xu?" Lu Wuming began to inquire about Xu Zimei's background.
"Just a Loose Cultivator wandering the world," Xu Zimei replied with a smile.
"By the way, with the opening of the Origin Land of the Fire Tribe, does your Immortal Palace also have the qualification to participate?"
Logically speaking, it should be a place where the Fire Tribe comes from.
The human race is not really welcome.
It seems that receiving an invitation to the Origin Land of the Fire Tribe makes this Immortal Palace quite extraordinary.
Lu Wuming smiled and said, "Actually, it's not entirely so. With this opening of the Origin Land,
not only our Palace, but the forces from various tribes have all been invited."
"What is the intention behind this move by the Fire Tribe?" Xu Zimei asked with a slight frown.
"We don't know either," Lu Wuming replied with a smile.
"But it is said that people of other tribes can also enter the Origin Land.
We are just trying our luck."
Xu Zimei nodded slightly.
After a brief conversation with Lu Wuming, he also got to know about the Immortal Palace.
The ancestors of the Immortal Palace were indeed once illustrious.
It is said that several Great Saints had emerged from there.
But later, when these ancestors left, the strength gradually declined.
And it wasn't a simple decline.
The decline was to the extent that they almost faced destruction.
Later, it was the current generation's Sect Master Bai who took over and led the entire Immortal Palace to begin a trend of revival.
But it was just a hope of revival.
The current Immortal Palace is still incomparable to its peak period.
This was Xu Zimei's understanding of the Immortal Palace.
After the chat with Lu Wuming, he also went back to his affairs.
Xu Zimei was still rather free here.
The sky gradually darkened, and the day was coming to an end.
It takes at least seven days to reach the Sun Domain by Spirit Ship.
This time, the main force heading to the Sun Domain from the Immortal Palace.
Besides Sect Master Bai and a few important Elders, most of those brought along were of the younger generation.
Because they also knew that in this trip to the Origin Land of the Fire Tribe, it's extremely difficult to gain a share of the spoils.
It would be better to bring the younger generation to broaden their horizons or something.
Compared to these Elders, the younger generation was much friendlier to Xu Zimei.
"Dinner's ready, Young Master Xu," at this moment, a slightly chubby young man walked over, looked at Xu Zimei, and smiled.
His name is Wang Wei.
He is one of the new disciples brought by the Immortal Palace this time.
He is quite honest and simple, and the most friendly towards Xu Zimei.
On the other side of the Spirit Ship, many young people had already gathered around the campfire.
The fragrant minced meat on the fire made them all drool.
In fact, for the strong, eating is no longer necessary.
But these young people still need to eat.
When Xu Zimei arrived, a young boy joked, "Young Master Xu, are you here to mooch meals from our Immortal Palace?
Why don't you join our Immortal Palace?"
"I am too significant for your Immortal Palace's small temple," Xu Zimei replied with a smile.
"Bragger," a nearby young girl snorted lightly.
"Ambition higher than the sky, fate thinner than paper.
It's better to be down-to-earth."
The girl who spoke is named Li.
She has always looked down on Xu Zimei and often bantered with him.
Xu Zimei didn't really mind her.
"Junior Sister, say less," Wang Wei, who was next to her, reminded.
He handed a steaming bowl of meat soup to Xu Zimei.
He chuckled straightforwardly, "Eat."
"Everyone is eating," at this time, Lu Wuming also came over and said with a smile.
"Senior Brother," everyone greeted him in unison.
This Lu Wuming had a very special status.
Although he is the senior brother of the Immortal Palace, his seniority is on par with the Elders.
It is said that a thousand years ago, he was already the senior brother of the Immortal Palace.
He could have long become an Elder.
But he has always positioned himself as the senior brother, willingly serving as a guide to these young disciples.
Therefore, the entire Immortal Palace respects Lu Wuming greatly.
"Senior Brother, I must say, this trip to the Sun Domain is of great importance for us.
We shouldn't casually bring strangers along," Li said.
Her meaning was obvious, directly targeting Xu Zimei.
"Li, do you have some misunderstanding with Young Master Xu?" Lu Wuming asked with a smile.
It was clear to everyone that Li seemed very averse to Xu Zimei.
Li didn't reply; she just let out a cold snort and left.
"Childish nature, don't mind her," Lu Wuming said with a helpless smile.
"Where is her home?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
"She's from Stone Rock City and has been with us in the Immortal Palace for three years," Lu Wuming replied.
Xu Zimei was taken aback.
He seemed to understand where Li's prejudice against him came from.
It seemed like there had always been a conflict between himself and Stone Rock City.
The previous City Lord of Stone Rock City, Ba Dao, was killed by him.
When he left, he destroyed the city's walls, rendering Stone Rock City merely a name.
In fact, he didn't pay attention to Stone Rock City's matters afterward.
After dining with everyone, Xu Zimei saw the girl named Li standing by the Spirit Ship's cabin.
She was gazing at the scenery across the Firmament.
Here, in the sky, it felt as if the stars were within reach.
Of course, it was just an illusion.
The stars were still beyond the sky.
The girl was blowing in the wind, her black long dress fluttering slightly.
"Do you know me?" Xu Zimei's voice sounded from beside her.
Li glanced at him but didn't reply.
After a slight pause, the girl prepared to leave.
"If you don't want to talk to me, it's fine," Xu Zimei smiled.
"I just wanted to tell you that the matters of Stone Rock City are over.
Don't stir trouble in front of me; otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill you."
"You're just like what's written on the announcement," Li turned to him, her cheeks puffed in anger.
"What announcement?" Xu Zimei frowned.
"The announcements from Stone Rock City all say, over trivial conflicts, you destroyed our Stone Rock City," Li replied.
"Trivial conflicts?
A life-and-death battle, you consider a trivial conflict?" Xu Zimei shook his head with a smile.
Apparently, you weren't there at the time; I was mistaken.
Xu Zimei had thought the girl had witnessed him destroying Stone Rock City.
Now it seems it was after he left and Stone Rock City was rebuilt that she learned about the events.
"I don't really understand, but Stone Rock City is a home for many people, a basis for standing.
How can it be destroyed," Li replied.
"It was also the first line of defense against the Water Beast."
"First, Stone Rock City has no necessity to exist.
If you're looking for a home, isn't going to Shenghai City better."
