"Mistress Gong, long time no see."
A soft chuckle arose. It was a greeting between old friends. It was a greeting after a long time.
Gong Suo Xin's eyes widened as she checked out the handsome young man before her. His eyebrows were straight like swords, his face was like jade, and his entire being had the temperament of an immortal. He was extraordinary and out of this world.
Slowly, the man before her overlapped with the handsome young man from eight years ago and formed the image of the person she had been longing for.
Eight years. It had been eight whole years. She had been hoping for the person she promised to meet back then to show up. Especially when she was helpless, she couldn't help but think of Ling Xian. But every single time, her hopes were met with disappointment.
Now, Ling Xian had finally appeared before her. As much as she was surprised, she was also in disbelief.
"You … you are Ling Xian?"
Gong Suo Xin's eyes became misty as she asked uncertainly.
"It is me. Though it's been eight years, my appearance hasn't changed much." Ling Xian grinned, "Mistress Gong, on the other hand, looks more like you did eight years ago."
"Ling Xian, it really is you …"
Gong Suo Xin mumbled. Her face was a little sluggish. In the next second, however, her entire body turned cold. Like a thousand-year-old iceberg, she exuded an unapproachable coldness.
"Someone who doesn't keep his promise, you still have the face to appear before me?"
After that, Gong Suo Xin lost her mind from anger. She no longer cared about Ling Xian's capabilities and slammed towards him!
"Aye …"
Looking at the angry Gong Suo Xin, Ling Xian sighed deeply and felt even more guilty. Therefore, facing the surging attack, he didn't dodge, nor did he put up any defense. Instead, he took a step forward to meet it.
Bang!
The slender palm landed and emitted a blinding amount of light that landed on Ling Xian's chest.
Sadly, his physique was far too strong. Gong Suo Xin's cultivation level was merely at the intermediate stage of the foundational level. Even if he didn't defend himself, it would be hard for her to move his physical body. Therefore, after this palm landed, Ling Xian didn't even quiver, let alone puking out blood.
This scene made Ling Xian and Gong Suo Xin speechless.
"Damn it!"
Gong Suo Xin clenched her teeth. She didn't think that after eight years, Ling Xian would become this powerful. He could even defend against her attack without getting hurt. This caused her to feel shocked and angry at the same time.
"Good, you think you can ignore my attack just because you're strong now? Ling Xian, you sure are something. "
"Eh …"
Ling Xian was speechless. Looking at the quivering Gong Suo Xin, he bitterly smiled, "I am not ignoring you. I simply want you to vent."
"Vent your anger?"
Gong Suo Xin's chest heaved up and down from anger, "Is this how you let me vent my anger? I can't even f * cking touch you!"
"Eh …"
Ling Xian was speechless. He thought to himself, "I didn't even defend myself and let you hit me. You were the one who was too weak and couldn't move. How can you blame me?" But he wasn't going to say this out loud. Or else Gong Suo Xin would go crazy.
"Well … look, since you can't move me, why don't you sit down and let your anger cool down." Ling Xian smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
Though he didn't show up because he couldn't resist, no matter what, he did show up. Plus, he caused Gong Suo Xin to be in such a miserable state. Why wouldn't he feel guilty?
"Cool down? Ling Xian, you sure have been living well these years. But what about me? Every day, I live in fear, humiliation, and mockery. I worry that when I wake up, I will become a corpse or some important figure's toy! "
Gong Suo Xin gritted her teeth and stared deadly at Ling Xian, "I have waited for eight years and I have hoped for eight years. But every single day, I have tasted disappointment. The unbearable torture has eaten away at my soul and made me hopeless. "
"But just when I was hopeless, you appeared. Why did you show up? Why the f * ck did you do this before? " Gong Suo Xin's hands tightened into fists as she screamed at the top of her lungs. It was as if she was trying to release all of her hatred.
But as she spoke, two streams of tears suddenly fell, streaking across her beautiful face with a complicated expression, and fell to the ground.
"Why, why, why didn't you come earlier or later? Why did you have to show up now …"
Mumbling, Gong Suo Xin seemed to have used up all of her energy and lost the courage to stand. She retreated step by step to the corner of the wall and fell onto the ground powerlessly.
At this moment, eight years of suffering exploded. She felt like she had fallen into a bottomless abyss and could no longer see the light. She buried her head in her knees and curled up in the corner, looking helpless and sad.
Ling Xian's heart quivered. Looking at the curled up Gong Suo Xin, he couldn't help but to sigh.
He has always felt guilty towards Gong Suo Xin. But at this moment, he finally realized how much damage he caused to this poor woman by breaking his promise. Though he didn't mean to, no matter what, he did show up.
As a man, he had to shoulder this responsibility.
"Mistress Gong, I am sorry."
Ling Xian slowly walked before Gong Suo Xin and sincerely apologized, "Don't worry, I will shoulder this responsibility. I will not run away."
"Shoulder?"
Gong Suo Xin lifted her head and revealed a cold and sarcastic smile. "Because of your failure to keep your promise, I was ranked last in the exam. The Qi Zhen Pavilion no longer gave me the resources. Then, I was beaten down by others and ended up in this pitiful state. Can you shoulder this responsibility? "
Ling Xian frowned, realizing the seriousness of the situation. However, he was not going to retreat because of this. He said in a low voice, "If I can't shoulder it, I will. I owe you this."
Sensing Ling Xian's seriousness and determination, Gong Suo Xin was startled. She remembered the news she heard seven years ago and how he willingly accepted her slap. The hatred in her heart suddenly faded a little, and the way she looked at him also softened a little.
The reason why she lost control like this was because she had suffered far too much in the past eight years. She chose to suppress it and never let it out. Now that she saw Ling Xian, she naturally let it all out. It was inevitable that she would lose control.
Now that she had let it all out, she walked out of her sadness and calmness. She sighed, "Aye … it's not all your fault. I know you have your reasons."
Gong Suo Xin sighed and waved her hand tiredly, "Leave. I don't want to see you again."
"How can I abandon you at a time like this?" Ling Xian shook his head slowly and firmly. He smiled warmly, "Don't worry. I am no longer the little cultivator I was eight years ago. The me today has the ability to help you."
"I believe that. Even though I don't know how much you've grown, I can tell from the way you slapped Wang Peng that you are much, much stronger than you were eight years ago." Gong Suo Xin softly sighed. She didn't have high hopes for Ling Xian, "But, the Qi Zhen Pavilion is not something you can control."
"How will I know if I don't try?" Ling Xian warmly smiled, "Even if I fail in the end, this is something I have to do."
Just then, an angry shout full of killer's intent rose from outside and echoed throughout the entire street.
"You hurt my nephew, get the f * ck out here right now!"
Instantly, Gong Suo Xin's face changed color. She shouted in a hurry, "Dammit, that's Wang Teng Fei's voice. Ling Xian, leave now. It'll be too late."
"It's already too late." Ling Xian softly grinned, not thinking much of it.
"You … do you know how serious this is! That's Wang Teng Fei, a famous completion leveled cultivator. Even though you have grown a lot, you are no opponent of his! " Gong Suo Xin's face was full of anxiety. She jumped out of her seat and said, "Ling Xian, I will stall for you. Use this opportunity to leave."
Then, she hurriedly marched forward and prepared to help Ling Xian defend for a moment.
However, the moment she took her first step, a slender hand grabbed onto her arm. Then, a gentle and confident statement arose.
"I am a man. Why would I let you stall for me?"
Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips. He was as calm and collected as ever.
His confident demeanor made Gong Suo Xin a little startled. But then, she mercilessly scolded, "You idiot! Now is not the time for you to be a hero. That's Wang Teng Fei we are talking about. His capabilities are terrifying. 100 of you are not enough to kill him! "
"100 of me is not enough?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. Under Gong Suo Xin's shocked gaze, he leaped out of the window and landed on the street. Only a confident sentence was left, echoing softly in the room and in her mind.
"Watch carefully. It's not that 100 of me is not enough, it's that 100 of him … is not enough."
…
On the long street, armored guards with long spears in their hands surrounded the Qi Zhen Pavilion. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of them.
At the entrance of the Qi Zhen Pavilion, a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe had a dark expression on his face. His killer's intent and terrifying Qi howled out of him, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
This person's name was Wang Teng Fei, a famous powerhouse in the Emperor's Millennium Capital.
Beside him, Wang Peng's expression was cold. Thinking about how Ling Xian will be defeated, he couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.
To him, no matter how strong Ling Xian was, there was no way he would be an opponent of his third uncle. Therefore, he was certain that Ling Xian was dead for sure.
He wasn't the only one. Wang Teng Fei, the guards, and everyone else thought Ling Xian was dead for sure. Some people had even begun to exclaim. They were exclaiming about the Wang Clan's arrogance and exclaiming about Ling Xian's impending death.
However, just as everyone thought Ling Xian was dead for sure, a silhouette in black descended from the third floor of the Qi Zhen Pavilion.
At the same time, an undefeatable amount of Qi rolled out in all four directions. It was as if a God was descending, suppressing all nine levels of heaven and dominating all three thousand worlds, sending chills down everyone's spine!
Then, an unbelievable scene happened.
Other than Wang Teng Fei, the completion leveled powerhouse, everyone else could not handle this amount of Qi and knelt onto the ground!
Like a servant kneeling before a king, they didn't want to kneel, but they had to!
