Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Reunion After a Long Separation

"Sect Leader Jiang!"

Zhongli Que was both shocked and thrilled, being the first to rush forward.

He, usually so stern, opened his arms wide, eager for a warm embrace with Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng quickly dodged, embracing Sister Han instead.

What a joke, I’m not into that, Brother Cheng thought.

Lorem ipsum, Zhongli Que could only watch with wounded eyes as the two embraced tightly.

Finally, hugging each other, everything was real.

Sect Leader Ji, coming to her senses, emotionally broke down, tears flowing.

"Sob, I thought you forgot us..."

"How could I? I’ve missed you all the time!"

When Brother Cheng said this, he forgot that most of the time he was just thinking about showing off.

"Where have you been all these years?"

"We’ve waited so long for you..."

"Well, that is a long story," Brother Cheng was also filled with emotions.

The last time he saw her was before entering the Profound Realm, back at Celestial Sword Mountain.

Looking back, it felt like a lifetime ago.

However, at least all is well.

She is still here, and has grown even stronger than I imagined.

"No worries, we have plenty of time to talk now."

Ji Linghan wiped her tears; Qiu Ran and Jiang Jiayi were equally excited.

"Sect Leader Jiang, sob, we thought we’d never see you again."

"How did you know to come to the Ice Realm to find us?"

"By the way, have you found the other disciples too?"

Brother Cheng ruffled their hair, shaking his head.

"I haven’t had the chance yet, the first choice was the Ice Realm."

"Wow! We were the first choice?"

Qiu Ran and Jiang Jiayi felt inexplicably lucky.

They are now back by Sect Leader Jiang’s side, while disciples in other True Realms might have to wait a long time.

Zhongli Que laughed heartily: "Haha, seems Sect Leader cares most about Senior Sister Ji, we’ve certainly benefited from her influence."

Choosing the True Ice Realm first must be because of Senior Sister Ji!

Ji Linghan felt a burst of joy, her cheeks turning rosy, though she intentionally objected on the surface.

"Junior Brother Zhongli, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Sect Leader treats everyone equally, it must have been randomly chosen."

Brother Cheng paused, then solemnly shook his head.

"How could that be, I came specifically looking for you, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?"

With this, Zhongli Que, Qiu Ran, and Jiang Jiayi winked at Ji Linghan, bursting into laughter. freewebnøvel.com

Ji Linghan’s joy almost soared from her heart.

Is this considered a confession?

After all these years, in the end, I am the true winner!

Yin Xue’Er, Lin Ning, Lan Ti, you ultimately lost!

What should I say now?

How should I let him know I’ve accepted while keeping my poise?

Her dilemma vanished in the next second.

"You’re the Sect Leader, who else would I look for first, hahaha!"

Seeing Brother Cheng’s matter-of-fact expression, Ji Linghan felt she had been shot through the heart.

It’s just because of the Sect Leader position, not for any other feelings?

Zhongli Que and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths, wondering if Sect Leader Jiang was truly clueless or pretending.

"Besides, it’s just the four of you who came to the Ice Realm, right?"

"Yes!"

"That’s good then."

Brother Cheng felt a weight completely lift off his shoulders.

At least his task in the Ice Realm was fully accomplished.

"Who are you, why haven’t I seen you before?"

Wei Shan looked displeased from behind.

Who is this guy?

Why is he hugging Ji Linghan?

And completely ignoring me, the unrivaled genius, the sole disciple of Celestial Venerable Ming Jue.

What right does he have?

Only then did Brother Cheng notice him.

In a good mood, he turned back smilingly: "I’m their founding Sect Leader, Jiang Cheng, just recently arrived."

"Recently?"

Wei Shan frowned, how come Ice Origin Valley roped in another member?

He felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

As if more people could now stand alongside him, dimming his spotlight, which was really annoying.

As for Brother Cheng’s identity as a founding Sect Leader, he didn’t take it seriously at all.

"How did you get in here?" he demanded.

Brother Cheng looked at him quizzically: "Are you the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable?"

"Of course not."

Wei Shan’s face darkened: "What do you mean?"

"Since you’re not, why do you care so much?"

Can’t you see I’m joyfully reuniting with disciples and need some private space?

Why is this person so clueless?

Wei Shan’s anger was ignited at that instant.

You’re just an Emperor Realm Sixth Layer early-stage, and still a ’newcomer,’ daring to speak to me like that?

He coldly pursued: "Did you join the Ice Immortal Sect?"

Without turning his head, Brother Cheng replied impatiently: "What’s the Ice Immortal Sect, never heard of it."

Who are you? Why are you still here, don’t you have any awareness?

"What did you say?"

Wei Shan was first stunned, then barked sharply: "How dare you disrespect the Ice Immortal Sect?"

Lu Qing and Zong Xi chimed in.

"All newcomers must join the Ice Immortal Sect, how dare you feign ignorance?"

"Seems like you don’t regard the Ice Immortal Sect at all?"

Brother Cheng truly didn’t know about the Ice Immortal Sect, but he could sense their hostility.

Just as he was about to speak, a figure swiftly approached from afar.

It was Gong Qing, who was nearby comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

Advisor Gong gained a lot in these twenty years, now having broken through to Emperor Realm Third Layer mid-stage.

However, her loyalty to Brother Cheng remained unchanged.

Seeing Lord Jiang possibly offending someone again, she hurried to block him.

"You mustn’t act impulsively, the Ice Immortal Sect was founded by Celestial Venerable Ming Jue..."

Since she was brought in by Brother Cheng, the Ice Immortal Sect didn’t think much of her, so she stayed peaceful all these years.

But Advisor Gong’s business instincts were evident.

Within the first month of being here, she had already learned the inner workings of the valley thoroughly.

After her detailed explanation, Brother Cheng finally understood what the Ice Immortal Sect entailed.

"Second only to the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable? Along with other 5 Emperor Realm Ninth Layers and 312 Emperor Realm Eighth Layers?"

"Yes," Gong Qing nodded with a serious expression.

The luxury of this lineup is simply beyond imagination.

If unleashed, it could easily flatten the Ice Palace outside a hundred times over.

What are Domain Masters and Lords; they don’t even count as cannon fodder before the Ice Immortal Sect.

She didn’t wish for Jiang Cheng to offend this terrifying sect.

Opposite, Wei Shan, Zong Xi, and others raised their chins arrogantly, with a look of ridicule.

"Hmph, so you’re a bumpkin who really doesn’t know the Ice Immortal Sect?"

"Seems your talent is so poor that our sect’s seniors didn’t even notice you."

"Ji Linghan, Zhongli Que, I wondered what that Feixian Sect you uphold was, turns out your founding Sect Leader is so useless—how truly laughable!"

"Shut up!"

Without Brother Cheng needing to speak, Ji Linghan was unexpectedly angry.

Insulting others was one thing, but daring to insult Sect Leader Jiang?

"Who do you think you are? You dare criticize Sect Leader Jiang?"

Zhongli Que only said one word coldly.

"Scram!"

Clang!

Wei Shan drew his Ice Sword.
