It was already evening. The Sun was about to set and the Moon was about to rise.
A gentle wind blew by, rustling the bamboo forest. Bamboo leaves danced in the wind.
Hundreds of silhouettes appeared in the Forest of Purple Bamboo. Everyone was excited as they stared at the elegant silhouette. Their faces were full of joy and relief.
These two years, they have been living in fear every day and their lives have not been good. After seeing Ling Xian, the giant rock that has been pressing down on their hearts for two years finally landed. Their entire being became more relaxed.
To these people, Ling Xian was not only their savior, he was also their pillar of support.
After Ling Xian did so many shocking things, he left a deep impression on everyone in the House of Zi Yang. He was unpredictable and omnipotent!
After he rescued these people from the hands of the two great forces, everyone subconsciously formed a kind of dependence on him. Therefore, these people naturally treated Ling Xian as their pillar of support. They felt like as long as he was there, all problems would be solved.
One has to admit that this was a form of blind trust. These people have even treated Ling Xian like a religion. They are willing to live, die, and go crazy for him!
"This indescribable feeling … I have only felt it on my father!"
Zi Hua Shang's eyes flickered with shock as she stared at the young man in white. She mumbled, "Could it be … he has broken through to the completion level?"
Very quickly, however, she denied this guess.
A 20 something year old completion leveled cultivator?!
How is that possible?!
Even though Zi Hua Shang felt the familiar rhythm, she didn't dare to imagine that Ling Xian could achieve so much at his age!
Feeling the heated gazes, Ling Xian grinned, "Alright, don't look at me like that. I am not used to it."
Then, he marched forward and arrived before Zi Hua Shang, "It's been two years. How have you been?"
"Thanks to you, the Yun Clan has been taking care of us. We are doing well." Zi Hua Shang smiled brightly.
After she spoke, everyone else chimed in as well. Their voices were full of gratitude.
"It's all thanks to Master Ling. Without him, the Yun Clan wouldn't have taken care of us so well."
"Yeah, without him, we would've died a long time ago."
"That's right. We will never forget this great kindness."
Hearing this, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile, "Alright, there is no need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank the Supreme Headmaster."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. Everyone thought of Zi Dong Lai and their loved ones, and a trace of sadness flashed across their faces.
"It's been two years and I still haven't gotten over it …" Ling Xian silently sighed. Looking at the sorrowful woman, he said, "Follow me."
With that, he strode towards the thatched cottage in front.
Zi Hua Shang nodded softly and followed Ling Xian with light steps.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also dispersed and went about their own business.
After a while, Ling Xian and Zi Hua Shang arrived at the cottage. Immediately, they choked on the dust that filled the cottage.
"Cough …"
Ling Xian frowned and flapped his sleeve, blowing away all the dust in the room. Then, he sat on a black chair and said, "Don't just stand there, sit down."
"Yes, your highness."
Zi Hua Shang nodded and hesitated. Then, she asked carefully, "I wonder if your training has improved in the past two years?"
"You want to ask if I broke through to the completion level." Ling Xian teasingly smiled, seeing through Zi Hua Shang's intention.
Seeing that Ling Xian saw through her intention, Zi Hua Shang's eyes flashed with fear. She quickly stood up and explained, "Your highness … let me explain. I am not trying to pry into your secrets. I am just curious. I am just curious."
"I have no intention of blaming you. Why are you so scared?" Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He didn't think Zi Hua Shang would have such a big reaction.
Little did she know, his powerfulness has been deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts. Whether it was Zi Hua Shang or the people outside, they all respected him and didn't dare to act out of line. Plus, these people treated him as their pillar of support.
Now that the pillar of support had seen through her intention, Zi Hua Shang was naturally a little anxious.
"You don't blame me?"
Zi Hua Shang froze. Seeing the smile on Ling Xian's face, she finally sighed in relief and said awkwardly, "I thought … I thought you would be angry."
"I am not that stingy." Ling Xian smiled warmly and gestured for Zi Hua Shang to sit down, "Relax. Don't treat me like a demon. It's not like I will eat you."
Zi Hua Shang was no longer worried. However, she still kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Ling Xian.
"You just asked me if I broke through or not." Ling Xian softly grinned and uttered out a statement that shocked Zi Hua Shang.
"I did."
Instantly, Zi Hua Shang froze.
These three simple words were like a bolt out of the blue, directly striking her dumb!
He broke through?
A 20 something year old completion leveled cultivator?!
Zi Hua Shang's face was full of disbelief. But then, her body began to tremble. She was at a point of no return!
A completion leveled cultivator who broke through from the undefeatable realm of the foundational level. She knew very well what this meant. This represented powerfulness, powerfulness that allowed one to fight beyond their level!
Therefore, killing Li Jian Yi and Ning Wu Ji would not be a difficult task.
Therefore, Zi Hua Shang couldn't help but be excited. Her beautiful eyes stared deadly at Ling Xian, full of desire.
Noticing Zi Hua Shang's anticipation, Ling Xian understood, "You want me to kill the leaders of the two controlling forces and avenge the Supreme Headmaster, right?"
"That's right!"
Zi Hua Shang's hands tightened into fists and she kneeled onto the ground with a thud. She begged, "Master, you have broken through to the completion level. Killing those two shouldn't be difficult. So I am begging you, I am begging you to avenge my father! "
Ling Xian silently sighed. Remembering what Zi Dong Lai told him before he died, he didn't help Zi Hua Shang up. Instead, he asked, "Why should I avenge you?"
"Why?"
Zi Hua Shang froze. To her, Ling Xian avenging Zi Dong Lai was a reasonable thing to do, so she didn't think too much about it.
But now, after Ling Xian asked why, she finally realized how unreasonable she was.
Honestly speaking, Ling Xian didn't owe the House of Zi Yang anything. On the contrary, the House of Zi Yang owed him far, far too much. He stepped up at a critical moment and saved hundreds of descendants of the Zi Yang House. Then, he single-handedly stopped the pursuers and brought back Zi Dong Lai's body.
He had done everything he could.
Therefore, Ling Xian had no obligation to avenge Zi Dong Lai.
"Yeah, why? What reason do I have to ask you to put yourself in danger? "Zi Hua Shang smiled sadly. The light in her eyes dimmed.
Ling Xian sighed, "If the Supreme Headmaster didn't say what he said, I would be on my way to the House of Xuan Yin or the House of Ling Jian."
Pausing, he continued, "But before the Supreme Headmaster died, he told me he didn't want me to avenge him. Do you know why?"
