The old ox has a sturdy body, like a small hill.

Chen Qingyuan sat cross-legged on the old ox's back. It was quite spacious and could even fit a small table in front of him.

"Earth planetary region."

Having already made plans, Chen Qingyuan pointed out a direction.

With the instructions, the old ox jumped high into the air and quickly rushed towards its destination.

Although the speed was not slow, the steps were steady, ensuring that Chen Qingyuan, who was sitting on his back, was not affected at all.

After many days, they crossed the sea of ​​stars and arrived at the Earth's planetary region.

"Cang Muxing."

Chen Qingyuan pointed out a specific location.

"whoosh"

The old ox followed orders without asking why.

After landing on this star, Chen Qingyuan rolled over from the cow's back, stepped on the solid ground, and walked slowly forward.

It is easy to find the target person based on the familiar breath fluctuations.

One step covers a thousand miles, across mountains and rivers.

After taking another step, we passed through several cities.

In less than a moment, he appeared in a place called "Yunqi City".

The ancient city was built in the sea of ​​clouds. It had tall city walls and countless chains outside. Each chain was engraved with dense runes.

After entering the city, you will find it full of spiritual charm and various exquisite buildings come into view. Law enforcement teams often patrol back and forth to maintain public order and prevent others from causing trouble in the city.

When you go out, you don’t want to be too high-profile.

Chen Qingyuan hid his true appearance. He looked ordinary and his cultivation was mediocre. He was hard to find in a crowd.

The old ox shrank a lot in size and followed closely beside him, without looking around or saying a word.

Go through the bustling streets and reach the west end of the city.

At the end, there is a very luxurious mansion.

There is a gold-plated door with a plaque hanging high above it.

There is a word engraved on it, deeply embedded in the wood - Han.

Walking out of the door, Chen Qingyuan took out a jade talisman that had been sealed for many years, infused a wisp of spiritual energy into it, and activated it.

"Are you free? How about meeting?"

The content of the message was simple, just an appointment to reminisce about the past.

Inside the mansion, in the study.

Sitting there was a middle-aged man with a yellowish complexion, wearing a black robe, with standard facial features and black hair tied up in a crown.

He was writing and copying ancient characters, which not only helped him pass the time but also filled a void deep in his heart.

Suddenly, his body stiffened slightly, and the ink pen held tightly in his right hand was suspended in mid-air, with the tip of the pen still two inches away from the rice paper.

His eyes flickered, filled with surprise and unexpectedness.

He paused, put down the ink pen in his hand, and immediately took out the sound transmission stone placed in a Sumeru ring. His fingertips trembled slightly, and the frequency of his breathing became obviously rapid. His emotions were complicated and difficult to conceal.

After hesitating for a while, he removed the restriction on the surface of the sound-transmitting jade stone, held his breath, and let his spiritual consciousness enter.

A familiar voice came to my ears.

It's him!

That's right!

The man in black is named Han Shan, and he and Chen Qingyuan had been friends through thick and thin.

Although he has some talent, he cannot keep up with the trend of the times.

Be self-aware and don't compete with the geniuses of the time.

Stay here, develop hard, become a city lord, and maintain peace.

Han Shan likes quietness. There are only a few maids and guards in the mansion, and there is no one guarding outside the door, so it seems rather deserted.

"Bang!"

Not long after the message was transmitted, the tightly closed door of the mansion was suddenly pulled open, and the door hit the wall, making a loud noise and vibrating slightly.

Han Shan immediately locked onto the man standing not far away, with a cow next to him.

Although his appearance was unfamiliar, his eyes were particularly familiar.

They were dozens of feet apart and their eyes met.

"coming."

Even if there were thousands of words, they could not express Han Shan's feelings at the moment. After a long silence, he grinned and greeted his old friend with just two words.

Chen Qingyuan smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Although the two have not seen each other for many years, their friendship will not fade away with the passage of time.

Han Shan opened the door wide, smiling brightly, with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and invited: "Come in and talk."

This time, Chen Qingyuan came here to sit down with his old friend and reminisce about the past. How could he refuse? "Okay."

The old ox waited outside, secretly memorizing Han Shan's face and breath. Since this man was the master's friend, he must be taken seriously. If he had the chance to meet him in the future, he would definitely get to know him.

In an elegant courtyard in the mansion, two people sat in an ancient pavilion by the lake.

There are fish dancing in the water, sometimes jumping out of the water, splashing a few water drops, looking lively and active.

There are hundreds of willow trees on the bank, with branches hanging down over the water, swaying in the breeze and creating thousands of ripples.

After pouring two cups of tea, Han Shan looked at Chen Qingyuan and wanted to speak many times, but he didn't know how to start.

The atmosphere was a little dull. Chen Qingyuan noticed his old friend's reservedness and said with a smile, "What? Don't you recognize me?"

As the words fell, his true appearance was revealed.

"Who in the world today doesn't know Your Majesty?"

Although Han Shan was smiling when he spoke, there was awe deep in his eyes.

He could no longer get along with Chen Qingyuan in the same way as before. His words and actions were very nervous, fearing that he might say something wrong and displease Chen Qingyuan.

"Say that kind of bullshit."

Chen Qingyuan scolded with a smile.

Han Shan was feeling nervous. He clenched his hands tightly under the table, sat upright, his mind tense, and smiled apologetically without saying a word.

Seeing this, Chen Qingyuan sighed secretly.

In the end, the good friends of the past became distant because of their status and strength.

It’s not that friendship is shallow, but it’s a realistic factor.

Han Shan couldn't guess whether Chen Qingyuan would be the same as before, so he was naturally cautious. He was just an ordinary person, but Chen Qingyuan was a peerless hero with a great reputation throughout the ages, and he might very well become an emperor in the future, so how could he dare to offend him.

"Thinking back then..."

Since Han Shan didn't dare to say much, fearing trouble, Chen Qingyuan certainly couldn't let the meeting be awkward, so he started talking about the past.

Gradually, Han Shan's thoughts were pulled back to the past. Thinking of the experiences he had with Chen Qingyuan, his smile became much more sincere, and his uneasiness mostly disappeared.

After half an hour, Chen Qingyuan sighed: "Time is so cruel and it goes by so fast!"

"Yes." Looking back on the past years, Han Shan also felt some emotion.

"After so many years, have you started a family?"

Chen Qingyuan talked about the present.

"not yet."

Han Shan shook his head and responded softly.

"Is there a direction?"

Chen Qingyuan asked again.

Han Shan shook his head again: "I don't have such plans."

"If you have it, I will host the wedding ceremony for you."

Chen Qingyuan made a promise.

Hearing this, a string deep in Han Shan's heart trembled slightly. His lips opened and closed several times, and finally uttered a word: "Okay."

"If you have any trouble, you can go to Qingzong for help. My senior brother Lin Changsheng knows the relationship between you and me very well and will help you to the best of his ability."

Chen Qingyuan's eyes were sincere and his tone was genuine.

"If that day ever comes, I will definitely ask for help."

Han Shan never announced to the public that he was Chen Qingyuan's friend, but many people knew about this because a long time ago Chen Qingyuan stood up for him and it caused a lot of controversy.
