Free Web NovelChapter 600: Chapter 601 What on earth did I do wrong? [3rd update, please subscribe]
"Little sister, I’m going to snap you out of this," Yi Ren said with a smile. Looking at Si’er standing before her with a fan, Yi Ren’s confidence was unshaken. In their usual sparring matches, she had always been the victor; Si’er had never beaten her even once. Wu Tian has only been teaching her for a few days. How much progress could she have possibly made? I’m definitely going to win.
Yi Ren clenched her fists. Spiritual Power churned within her like thunder and lightning, then condensed into her fists, which now looked impossibly powerful. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Sister, I’m afraid I’ll hurt you," Si’er said, still hesitating.
Her words were the last straw. Yi Ren immediately acted, determined to teach Si’er not to adopt Wu Tian’s arrogance. Stamping her foot, she shot toward Si’er, her figure tearing through the air. When she was just a meter away, she threw a straight punch.
Ordinarily, Si’er would panic when faced with this attack, but with the Jade Pure Kunlun Fan in hand, she was completely fearless.
With a gentle wave of the Jade Pure Kunlun Fan, a Great Wind howled forth, seeming to become solid. Under this formidable Feng Li, Yi Ren’s complexion changed. It felt as if a hammer had struck her chest. Her face turned deathly pale as she staggered back several steps, only stopping when she reached Ye Qingxian, who put out a hand to steady her.
"This can’t be possible," War God Ye murmured, stunned by the scene.
As for Ye Qingxian, she should have been shocked, but she felt no surprise at all. Instead, she had a sense that this was how it was supposed to be, as if she had already expected Si’er to defeat Yi Ren after receiving Wu Tian’s guidance. How can this be? Do I know Wu Tian?
Ye Qingxian’s red lips parted as she murmured softly, "I like him... No, that’s impossible." She refused to believe she could fall for someone so easily, failing to notice the charming smile curling at the corners of her own lips.
"What... what kind of fan is that?" Yi Ren demanded, clutching her still-aching chest. Her expression had changed completely, her voice fierce to hide her inner shock. She was very fond of Si’er, of course, but even so, she did not want to lose to her.
Si’er looked at Yi Ren, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister, this is the Jade Pure Kunlun Fan. Big Brother Sect Leader gave it to me."
"He really gave a Supreme Treasure to you so easily?" Yi Ren was taken aback, feeling a sudden pang of loss. If only I had joined Heavenless Gate earlier. Maybe Wu Tian would have accepted me. But I said some unpleasant things about him. I’m too ashamed to ask him to accept me now.
A thought suddenly struck her, and she took out the Order of Fixing Bonds. The Regent King was dead, so this Supreme Treasure was temporarily under her management. With the artifact in hand, Yi Ren regained some confidence. Without delay, she threw it. The Order of Fixing Bonds shot out like a charging dragon—abrupt, fast, and brimming with power.
SWOOSH!
It flew toward Si’er. Though a little nervous, she still trusted her Jade Pure Kunlun Fan. She waved it again, and instantly, the Great Wind swept forth once more.
BOOM!
Space itself seemed to wobble as a blast of wind slammed the Order of Fixing Bonds out of the air.
"This..." Yi Ren exclaimed in shock. Si’er had been on the defensive the entire time, never once attacking. Without a doubt, if she had attacked, I would be dead. That Jade Pure Kunlun Fan is truly terrifying.
"Sister, I told you, Big Brother Sect Leader is really powerful," Si’er said as she approached. "Go kneel before him. He’ll forgive you, and maybe you can join Heavenless Gate too." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Yi Ren gritted her teeth. She couldn’t swallow her pride and beg Wu Tian. With a huff, she turned and walked away.
War God Ye hurried to follow, feeling he was too embarrassed to stay any longer.
Ye Qingxian gave Wu Tian a slight smile, then also departed.
After leaving Duke Guang’s Mansion, Yi Ren remained sullen. Thank goodness I wasn’t the one who lost face, War God Ye thought, feeling secretly lucky.
Suddenly, Ye Qingxian said, "Third Brother, you’d better not be too smug. Like I said, a bloody disaster awaits you."
"Ha, a bloody disaster? How could that be? I don’t believe for a second that any such disaster awaits me..." War God Ye was in the middle of his smug boast when he was interrupted.
"It’s him! We’ve finally found him."
One by one, figures in black leaped down from the eaves of a nearby restaurant. The leader was Jian Xiaotian, clad in black with his face covered.
"War God Ye, you will die today," Jian Xiaotian said, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.
He and his younger brother had depended on each other to survive since they were children. Now that his brother was dead, Jian Xiaotian felt he would be unworthy of living if he didn’t get revenge.
"What?" War God Ye, still clueless, looked puzzled. "You want to kill me? I... I may be arrogant, but I haven’t done anything that outrageous."
"Not outrageous? Ha! If this isn’t outrageous, then what is?" Jian Xiaotian was furious. Is my brother’s life just some trivial matter to him?
At this thought, he could no longer hold back. With a furious roar, he charged at War God Ye.
"AH!"
War God Ye had no time to dodge. A punch sent him flying backward, and he crashed heavily to the ground.
"You shameless villain! Our feud is irreconcilable, and you will die today!" Jian Xiaotian roared. The memory of his brother’s every expression fueled his rage. Having landed the first blow, he didn’t hesitate for a second and ordered his men to attack. A torrent of swords, like a downpour, descended upon War God Ye.
"This..." The scene unfolded so quickly that Yi Ren was completely stunned.
Only Ye Qingxian acted. She thrust out a hand, and a white silk ribbon shot out, wrapping around War God Ye and yanking him to safety.
"Who are you people? What heinous crime have I committed for you to hate me so much you want me dead?" War God Ye cried out, full of grievances after his narrow escape.
What exactly happened? I may be arrogant, but I follow the rules. I’ve never killed anyone in my life, nor have I ordered anyone to be killed. So where did I go wrong? All I do is enjoy eating pork... Could it be... Could it be that you are from the Pig Clan? he wondered.
"You dare to call me a pig, even now?" Jian Xiaotian and his men became even more furious.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Their blades slashed ferociously toward War God Ye again.
War God Ye was terrified. Feeling utterly wronged, he cried out, "Sister, save me!"
With the grace of an immortal, Ye Qingxian waved her sleeve again. Her white ribbon sprang forth like a wall, blocking Jian Xiaotian and his men.
"Scram," Ye Qingxian said indifferently.
That was her way: ruthless and a woman of few words. Why didn’t she kill Jian Xiaotian and his men? Because they weren’t there to kill her.
"Let’s go!" Jian Xiaotian and his men hadn’t expected a woman to be so formidable. They could only leave in resentment.
A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years! If not today, then tomorrow! If not tomorrow, the day after! I, Jian Xiaotian, will not rest until War God Ye is dead.
