Chapter 1672: Chapter 168: That Kneeling Moment
But at the moment of touching Lee Sha’s hand, Lee Lianqing’s delicate body shuddered. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of rejection and instantly waved her hand fiercely.
"Buzz——"
The invisible energy of the Void Realm slightly trembled.
Lee Sha was thrown back, and a large amount of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Two elixirs suddenly fell out and rolled on the ground.
Lee Sha’s goofy laughter was interrupted, and then he just looked at Lee Lianqing like that.
Lee Lianqing felt a pang in her heart and suddenly felt a bit irritable.
She suddenly turned away, not looking at Lee Sha’s miserable appearance, but said, "From now on, you and Yun’er stay together, I’m leaving."
"Qingqing."
Lee Sha spoke without stuttering, but just looked at Lee Lianqing foolishly.
"Don’t call me ’Qingqing’, others might misunderstand."
After a moment of silence, Lee Lianqing suddenly said.
Lee Sha’s whole body shook, and at that moment, a different kind of emotion seemed to appear in his gaze.
It was clearly an emotion of extreme sadness, like a child suddenly abandoned by his mother. That kind of gaze made Lee Yun’er burst into tears in an instant.
Lee Lianqing did not look at Lee Sha, but she could feel this sad emotion.
Her heart felt very uncomfortable, as if something important suddenly broke.
But she thought of Xiao Tianlun, thought of Xiao Tianlun’s glorious genius posture in the War God Academy, and then recalled Lee Sha’s humble and unbearable past. Her wounded heart gradually calmed down.
She didn’t turn back, nor did she pick up the two elixirs, but directly rode the light away.
"Fool... sorry."
Lee Yun’er sobbed, apologizing.
"She... doesn’t like me anymore, does she?"
Lee Sha suddenly asked.
It was a very complete sentence.
And it carried emotion.
This sentence seemed to show that Lee Sha was no longer a fool.
However, when Lee Yun’er heard this, she cried even more sadly.
"Miss, Miss still likes you, it’s just that Miss now, now..."
"You should cultivate well. When you become strong, I... I’ll take you to find Miss."
Lee Yun’er choked as she spoke.
"Strong... how to become strong..."
Lee Sha murmured to himself.
"Cultivation, every advancement of yours counts as becoming stronger. Until you... become strong enough to reach the Sword Soul Realm."
Lee Yun’er gritted her teeth and said.
Sword Soul was a very powerful realm, but this realm was still not enough.
But Lee Yun’er didn’t want to say more because even though Lee Sha had good talent, it was impossible for him to step into the Sword Soul Realm in a short time. She just wanted to use time to make Lee Sha forget.
But Lee Sha had limited intelligence, so he believed this statement.
He turned around, looked at the two dirty elixirs on the ground, walked over, picked them up, and directly swallowed them.
"Fool you——"
"Strong, Sword Soul Realm."
Lee Sha said blankly, then directly sat on the ground, ready to cultivate.
"Not here, go back to my secret chamber to cultivate."
Lee Yun’er was startled and said.
"Okay."
Lee Sha replied.
...
Time passed again, and six months went by.
In six months, Lee Sha’s realm reached the Sword Soul Third Realm.
He was no longer a fool.
"Already Third Realm, in a few days, it’s Qingqing’s... Qingqing’s sixteenth birthday, I want to go see her."
Lee Sha looked at Lee Yun’er and said quietly.
His gaze was calm but carried a hint of coldness.
It seemed that his heart had closed off because of this.
Lee Yun’er smiled bitterly; this was the third time he had made this request.
The first two times, it was Sword Soul First Layer Heaven, then Sword Soul Second Layer Heaven.
One could only say that Lee Sha’s talent for cultivation was truly heaven-defying.
That kind of progress, that kind of combat power, made Lee Yun’er tremble.
"Alright, let’s go, I’ll let Miss know first——"
"No need to tell her first. I’ll just go see her. As long as she’s well, it’s fine."
Lee Sha said quietly.
Lee Yun’er’s heart trembled, she sighed, and didn’t say more.
...
War God Academy.
"Brother Tianlun, with the upcoming action to hunt the Demon Clan, aren’t you worried?"
Lee Lianqing and Xiao Tianlun walked shoulder to shoulder, looking extremely intimate.
In the past six months, she had not gone back, hadn’t even glanced at Lee Sha, as if she had already forgotten him.
"What’s there to fear? These Demon Clan members are merely around the Void Realm Third Transformation. With my ability, killing them is like cutting grass."
Xiao Tianlun smiled arrogantly and then seemed to think of something and said, "By the way Qingqing, I heard you had a childhood sweetheart——"
"No, no, he was just a fool, an idiot. I only pitied him. How could I fancy someone like that? Brother Tianlun, please don’t misunderstand."
Lee Lianqing’s face turned pale, and she immediately explained.
Xiao Tianlun laughed confidently and said, "Qingqing, I believe you—"
As he spoke, he seemed to notice the unusual look in Lee Lianqing’s eyes and her pale complexion, so he immediately looked up.
At this moment, he discovered that not far in front of him, a young man was quietly standing there, and beside him, a girl in purple clothes had a pale face, looking at Lee Lianqing with an incredulous gaze.
"Yun’er, who let you come here? Why aren’t you leaving quickly? And you, fool, did you come here on your own? Are you looking to die? Do you know that coming here as someone without strength is courting death!"
Lee Lianqing’s face turned pale, like someone caught in an affair, and she became somewhat ashamed and angry.
"Qingqing, tomorrow is your birthday, I came—"
Lee Sha looked at Lee Lianqing and gently said.
"Who allowed you to call me ’Qingqing’? What are you? Look at your foolish self, I only pity you, that’s all!"
Lee Lianqing’s heart trembled, but she immediately said coldly.
"Oh? So you’re the fool? Since Qingqing doesn’t welcome you, just leave quickly!"
Xiao Tianlun saw that this Lee Sha was even more handsome than himself and had a cooler demeanor, which made him feel jealous, so he immediately sneered.
Lee Sha didn’t listen to Xiao Tianlun and continued, "Qingqing, I’ve learned... the way of the Sword, Sword Soul. I, I can teach you. It’s, it’s very powerful. I, I want to celebrate... your birthday."
But Lee Lianqing didn’t want to listen to Lee Sha and said, "Leave, did you hear me? Not seeing you is my biggest celebration!"
"Did you hear that, fool? Qingqing told you to leave. If you stay here any longer, don’t blame me, Xiao Tianlun, for being impolite!"
Xiao Tianlun said, moving closer to Lee Lianqing.
And Lee Lianqing immediately took Xiao Tianlun’s arm and said, "Brother Tianlun is peerlessly invincible, unmatched in talent, brilliant and exceptional, a top talent. What are you? You don’t even listen to Brother Tianlun, you will definitely die here. I appreciate your kindness, but we are people from different worlds, you should be at peace being an ordinary mortal, living your life with Yun’er. As for me... I will pursue my own Tao and find my own Daoist couple."
"But that will never be you!"
"Leave now!"
"Get lost!"
Xiao Tianlun waved his hand, and a huge surge of soul energy directly knocked Lee Sha to the ground.
Lee Sha stood up, approached again, but his gaze quietly looked at Lee Lianqing.
Lee Lianqing pretended not to see him.
And Xiao Tianlun felt a bit irritated and said, "I’ve given you three chances, and yet you don’t appreciate them, now, just die!"
"Don’t—Brother Tianlun, let him go, I will have him kneel and apologize to you."
Lee Lianqing pleaded.
Xiao Tianlun glanced at the many sect brothers and sisters who had gathered due to the commotion, then nodded without saying a word.
"Fool, kneel down and apologize to Brother Tianlun, stop being crazy, if you continue like this, not only will you harm yourself, but also Yun’er."
Lee Lianqing advised.
"Was I wrong?"
Lee Sha asked.
"The outer area of War God Academy is not a place for a fool like you, appearing here as an outsider means you deserve death!"
Xiao Tianlun said coldly.
"You shouldn’t have come."
Lee Lianqing said.
"You want me to kneel to him? Can he bear it?"
Lee Sha no longer stuttered, but the look in his eyes toward Lee Lianqing changed from infatuation to clarity.
In fact, at this moment, Lee Sha truly awakened.
However, it wasn’t completely.
Zhou Yan did not intervene.
Lee Sha was destined for this calamity, and this change was the opportunity for the Lei Yan King’s rise, so Zhou Yan did not interfere.
"Ridiculous, a fool like you, how can Brother Tianlun not bear it? Do you think you are the Thunderflame Sword Body? Only the Thunderflame Sword Body can counter Brother Tianlun’s ancient Tai Chu Sword Body!"
Lee Lianqing said coldly.
Even though she saw that Lee Sha was no longer foolish, she still began to feel repulsed.
When there is no love, seeing a former lover, that feeling must be of disgust.
"Fine, I’ll kneel. But after I kneel, there will be no more Lee Sha."
Lee Sha, after awakening, seemed aware of the unknown presence of Zhou Yan, knowing that this Zhou Yan had been watching his every move.
However, he didn’t know who Zhou Yan was, he just thought it was a brutal soul-devouring existence.
"Self-righteous clown!"
Xiao Tianlun sneered, showing an arrogant and contemptuous gaze.
Lee Lianqing did not speak.
But at this moment, Lee Sha knelt down.
"Bang—"
The moment he knelt, all of Lee Sha’s realm aura disappeared, appearing as if he had no cultivation, just like before.
However, the soul origin within Lee Sha’s body went berserk, growing wildly.
It was a wisp of black, having a Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart, a black soul origin.
"Evil Spirit?"
At that moment, Zhou Yan, deep in Lee Sha’s brows, also couldn’t help but be slightly moved.
But he didn’t stop him.
Xiao Tianlun looked at Lee Sha with a disdainful gaze and said, "A waste like you, how can you compete with me for a woman? For Qingqing’s sake, I spare your life!"
Xiao Tianlun chuckled repeatedly, no longer paying attention to Lee Sha, and walked away arrogantly.
And Lee Lianqing followed alongside Xiao Tianlun.
Yet, Lee Sha’s gaze remained fixed on Lee Lianqing, that gaze was extremely profound, and extremely cold.
Lee Lianqing walked far away, but turned her head to look at Lee Sha.
At that moment, Lee Sha’s deep and cold gaze even made her heart turn cold.
It seemed like some sort of taboo deep within her heart shattered under this gaze.
Instinctively, she withdrew her hand from Xiao Tianlun’s wrist.
"What’s wrong, Qingqing?"
"Feeling a bit unwell, Brother Tianlun, I won’t be going on today’s demon hunting trip."
Lee Lianqing suddenly felt a bit restless, softly refusing Xiao Tianlun.
