"Eh? It's you? " Hearing this cry of surprise, Ling Dong suddenly turned his head. Then, he saw a young girl in white with an elegant figure like smoke. She was sizing him up with some surprise, her eyes full of surprise.
On the other hand, the other young girl who was standing beside the white-clothed young girl wrinkled her nose when she saw Ling Dong's sorry state. Then, she quietly took half a step back. In her eyes, there was even a trace of disgust. Ling Dong understood that the young girl must have smelled the stench of blood and sweat on his body!
"Miss Qiao, why are you here?" After being stunned, Ling Dong's expression returned to normal as he asked. Wasn't this beautiful lady in white Qiao Ruyan, the one who left with Mister Qiao after coming to Nanshan County a year ago?
Ling Dong found out Qiao Ruyan's current cultivation level after probing her with his Spiritual Strength! Qiao Ruyan was still at Xiantian Realm Level Six when she came to Nanshan County last year. After a year of cultivation, she was already at the later stages of Xiantian Realm Level Seven! It probably wouldn't take more than a few months to break through to Xiantian Realm Level Eight!
As for the young lady in yellow, she was the weakest in the group at Xiantian Realm Level Six. Furthermore, Qiao Ruyan was from the Clear Sword Sect, and these people addressed her as Senior Brother and Junior Sister.
These four people were definitely disciples of the Clear Sword Sect. Furthermore, they were traveling with Qiao Ruyan, and their weapons looked extraordinary. They were definitely core disciples of the Clear Sword Sect! Ling Dong then thought about how the girl in yellow had called him Senior Martial Brother Bi. Ling Dong's heart became more alert for no reason!
This was because he had killed Bi Pengzhuo, a core disciple of the Clear Sword Sect. Furthermore, he was related to the royal family of the Yaoguang Empire. This person in front of him also had the surname Bi, so they were more or less related. Although Ling Dong had cleverly pinned Bi Pengzhuo's death on the Zuo Family, and the Zuo Family paid the price for it, there were still some suspicious points if one thought about it carefully!
"It's better to leave these people as soon as possible to avoid trouble!" In an instant, Ling Dong decided on a plan!
"We …"
"Eh? Junior Sister Qiao, you guys know each other? Friends? Aren't you going to introduce us? " Qiao Ruyan sized up Ling Dong with a complicated expression. Just as she was about to speak, the short, dark-skinned Senior Brother Bi asked curiously.
"This is …" Qiao Ruyan seemed to be hesitating when she heard the question from the short, dark-skinned Senior Brother Bi. She was considering how to answer him!
Ling Dong didn't get angry when he saw Qiao Ruyan's awkward expression. Anyway, he already had Zi Yao, and because of what happened in his previous life, Ling Dong really did not have a good impression of Qiao Ruyan.
"We've only met a few times in South Mountain Commandery!" Ling Dong rushed to answer. He didn't want to reveal that he was her fiancé who didn't have any relationship with her at all. In fact, if it weren't for the safety of the Ling family, Ling Dong would have thrown out a divorce letter a long time ago. F * ck your fiancé, I don't like you!
Qiao Ruyan's body shook when she heard this. She looked at Ling Dong with eyes full of surprise!
"Oh …" The short, dark-skinned Senior Brother Bi murmured. His expression lightened as he asked, "Brother, my promise from before still stands, as long as you can …"
"Senior Brother Bi, Senior Brother Xie, let me introduce you. This is Ling Dong that my father mentioned to you before …" Qiao Ruyan bit her cherry lips and continued, "He's my fiancé, Ling Dong!" When she said this, Qiao Ruyan's expression was very complicated.
The young girl in light yellow clothes also revealed surprise in her eyes. She sized Ling Dong up once more before she shook her head incessantly!
"What?" The tall, fair-skinned Senior Brother Xie exclaimed. However, the short, dark-skinned youth with the surname Bi started to size up Ling Dong again as his expression changed.
After sizing up Ling Dong for a few breaths, the surprise in the youth's eyes slowly turned into a kind of provocation. The provocation was deeply hidden in his eyes. "I've heard so much about you, Brother Ling. I'll definitely get to know you better in the future!"
When faced with a man's provocation, Ling Dong didn't like to back down. Ling Dong believed that if a man backed down once, it would be a strategic retreat. If he backed down ten times, it would be prudent. If he backed down a hundred times, he would become a real coward!
"If there's a chance, I'll definitely do it!" Ling Dong cupped his hands without batting an eyelid. He was extremely unyielding!
"Ling … Brother Ling, where have you been for the past year? My father sent you two letters, but both letters said that you weren't home! "Qiao Ruyan saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she walked over to Ling Dong and asked softly.
As for calling him Senior Brother, Qiao Ruyan had thought about it before calling him that! Calling him Ling Dong was too distant. Calling him Senior Brother was just right.
After hearing Qiao Ruyan's words, the one with the biggest reaction wasn't Ling Dong. Instead, it was the short, dark-skinned youth with the surname Bi. He was obviously surprised that Mister Qiao from the Sky Sword Sect had sent two letters!
Actually, Ling Dong was also very surprised. However, Ling Dong didn't care. It was nothing more than a fig leaf to cover up his embarrassment and let everyone cancel the marriage or discuss something else!
"I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I went out to train!" Ling Dong replied indifferently.
"Training? Brother Ling, you're really capable. You actually dared to come to Starfall Valley with only Xiantian Realm Level Three or Four cultivation. You're really capable! However, Brother Ling seems to have suffered serious injuries. It's best if you don't run around in the future! " As if he didn't want Ling Dong to chat with Qiao Ruyan, the youth with the surname Bi started to speak. His words were full of sarcasm!
Qiao Ruyan was stunned. She seemed to be a little unhappy that Senior Brother Bi spoke to Ling Dong in such a manner. However, she didn't have any experience in dealing with such matters. Thus, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"My father said that a good man has to train himself between life and death. Although I came out to train this time, I still gained some benefits! Moreover, my father often said that descendants of aristocratic families like us can improve quickly under the care of our elders. However, we're like flowers in a greenhouse. We can't withstand storms and storms. When it comes to actual combat, we're often arrogant but incompetent! For us, training is absolutely essential. Brother Bi, don't you agree? "Ling Dong raised his chin slightly as he spoke.
Hearing this, the youth with the surname Bi and the youth with the surname Xie turned ugly. How could they not understand Ling Dong's words? He was mocking them for being flowers in a greenhouse. Just as they were about to flare up, Ling Dong spoke again.
"However, I see that Brother Bi's skin is dark and glossy. He's like a savage from the mountains. He must be training frequently and not a flower in a greenhouse! I'm impressed! "Ling Dong cupped his hands and said.
"Uh …" Hearing this, the youth with the surname Bi was at a loss for words. A sinister look flashed across his eyes. What he hated the most was people calling him dark. In his mind, he should be a handsome and elegant young master, not an elegant young master with a dark and gloomy background!
"Fortunately, I've broken through countless bottlenecks in the past few years. A few days ago, I reached Xiantian Realm Level Nine! As for you, Brother Ling, have you broken through the bottleneck of Xiantian Realm Level Four? I think you should train more! "As he spoke, the youth with the surname Bi emphasized the words' Xiantian Realm Level Four '.
However, Ling Dong didn't care about this at all. He shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything else! He wasn't stupid enough to talk about his cultivation. Who would want to be able to hide their cultivation? Why would he expose it?
Ever since the Astrolabe had entered his spiritual consciousness, it had strangely shrouded his three Constellation Stars and caused the aura of Ling Dong's three Constellation Stars to decrease greatly. Unless Ling Dong used all his strength, his cultivation level would still be that vague Xiantian Realm Level Three or Four even if he used his Spiritual Strength to sense it.
This automatic concealment of his aura was one of the benefits that the Astrolabe brought to Ling Dong. Ling Dong was overjoyed! Ling Dong didn't want to expose the fact that someone was doubting his cultivation.
The more you underestimate me, the better. If there was a conflict, the faster you'd die!
"What, Brother Ling's cultivation is at Xiantian Realm Level Four? Brother Ling, your cultivation speed is really fast. I remember that you just reached the Xiantian Realm a year ago? "Qiao Ruyan exclaimed. She was really shocked!
A year ago, when Qiao Ruyan met Ling Dong, he was only at Houtian Realm Level Eight. Now, in just a year, he was at Xiantian Realm Level Four. This kind of advancement speed was really fast! Even the elite disciples of the Clear Sword Sect rarely advanced from Xiantian Realm Level One to Xiantian Realm Level Three in a year!
"Hehe, the results of your recent hard work must be good! Miss Qiao, Ling has to hurry, so I'll take my leave first. Goodbye! " Ling Dong cupped his hands and prepared to leave quickly. He really didn't want to be entangled with these big shots of the Clear Sword Sect.
"Stop right there!" Just as he was about to leave, the youth with the surname Bi blocked Ling Dong's path. "Brother Ling, you haven't answered my question yet!"
"Your question?" Seeing that the youth with the surname Bi had blocked his path, Ling Dong's eyes narrowed. His body leaned forward slightly, and a murderous aura surged out. Coupled with the thick smell of blood on Ling Dong's body, it was abnormally terrifying.
Even the light yellow young lady beside Ling Dong cried out in surprise and retreated three steps in fright!
"Brother Ling, Brother Bi and the others mean no harm!" Feeling that terrifying murderous aura, the scene from a year ago flashed through Qiao Ruyan's mind. Bi Pengzhuo was restrained by Ling Dong, who was only at Houtian Realm Level Eight. She also remembered her father's instructions after that.
"Ruyan, if you meet Ling Dong in the future, don't let your emotions affect your decisions! That kid is a decisive person! If you don't believe me, think carefully about the fate of your Brother Bi Pengzhuo! "This was something that Mister Qiao had said to Qiao Ruyan!
Qiao Ruyan thought for a long time, but she couldn't understand what her father was trying to say. After all, Bi Pengzhuo's death was caused by the Zuo Family! However, there was one thing that Qiao Ruyan remembered. This Brother Ling was very powerful!
Some people misunderstood Qiao Ruyan's good intentions and were even more furious! For example, Brother Bi mistakenly thought that Qiao Ruyan was trying to dissuade Ling Dong because she was afraid that Ling Dong would be injured by him. He thought that she was concerned about Ling Dong!
"Yes, you have to answer my question before you can leave!" The youth with the surname Bi sneered. A green light flashed in his hand, and his sword was placed horizontally in front of Ling Dong!
