Chapter 91: Bijie’s Love Story

“How is that possible?”

“You’re saying Hui Liyi personally killed the Divine Realm Dao Soldier and even turned Jialan Academy into a branch of the Green Luan Sect?”

Lei Mingde’s eyes widened in astonishment, his heart in a greater turmoil than before, feeling even heavier.

Lei Zhentian smiled relaxedly, “Dad, what are you worried about? The Green Luan Sect has always been on good terms with our Beast Taming Sect!”

“Cough, cough, cough… Nephew Zhentian, don’t think of Hui Liyi so naively. She is no good person.”

A mouthful of white blood came from Xiong Yangshuo’s bruised lips.

Lei Mingde quickly supported his back, infusing a wisp of spiritual energy into his body.

As the spiritual energy entered his body, Xiong Yangshuo’s complexion eased a little. He propped himself up on the edge of the bed with one hand and said earnestly.

“Cough, cough… Besides our Xiong family and the Beast Taming Sect, the only other person on the entire Firo Continent who knows about the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Crystal Ice is Hui Liyi of the Green Luan Sect.”

“That day, the Jialan Academy Dao Soldier raided our Xiong family just to seize the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Crystal Ice. His intention was obvious.”

“Brother Lei, I trust you wouldn’t have told Jialan Academy that our Xiong family possessed the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Crystal Ice, would you?”

Lei Mingde shook his head. He would naturally not backstab his good brother.

“Since you didn’t say it, and I didn’t, then why would Jialan Academy know that our Xiong family was hiding the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Crystal Ice!”

Lei Zhentian’s expression was one of utter shock, his mouth agape for a long time.

He had always been under Lei Mingde’s protection and had not been exposed to much of the sinister nature of the outside world.

If what Xiong Yangshuo said was true, then Hui Liyi would certainly not spare the Beast Taming Sect either.

When that time comes, I’m afraid…

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Xiong Yangshuo coughed up another mouthful of white blood. His aura weakened to the extreme.

“Old Brother Xiong, don’t be angry, take care of your health!”

Xiong Yangshuo gave a faint smile, filled with confidence, “Don’t worry, I won’t fall so easily until I’ve completed that final task.”

“Sigh… it’s all fate!”

Lei Mingde let out a long sigh. Having lived to his age, he had long developed a unique understanding of life.

The White Tiger was dead. If it weren’t for so many relatives and disciples in the Beast Taming Sect, he would have probably followed the White Tiger to hell long ago.

In the heart of every beast tamer in the Beast Taming Sect, their bonded beast was even more important than their own life.

Born together, die together.

The muscles on Lei Mingde’s face twitched, his eyelids almost flipping over.

“Not good!”

“A powerful expert is approaching the Beast Taming Sect.”

…

After burying Elder Zhao, Xu Lingqing returned to her room.

Outside the room, the two small origin trees in her spatial ring were gathering invisible origin power into the seeds. The planted rose seeds were already showing signs of breaking through the soil.

Xu Lingqing murmured to herself, “Senior… when the roses bloom, can you come and see Lingqing?”

After speaking, she looked up at the sky. The clouds in the sky seemed to give her an affirmative answer.

A crescent moon smile, dimples appearing, and a flash of flawless white teeth.

Lingqing will obediently wait for ‘Senior’ to come home…

Suddenly, the sky changed drastically. A storm brewed once again, and a shadow fell from the sky, blotting out the sun.

Xu Lingqing squinted her eyes, stepped on the air, and flew into the sky with her violet-gold wings.

“Aunt Bijie, long time no see!”

In just one day, Xu Lingqing could clearly feel that Xu Bijie’s entire temperament had undergone a world-shaking change.

Yesterday, Xu Bijie’s eyes were haughty and her demeanor arrogant. Today, her brows were furrowed with worry.

Xu Bijie flew to Xu Lingqing’s side, an undisguisable feeling of dejection emanating from her.

“Lingqing, are you hurt?”

Xu Lingqing waved her arms up and down, “I’m fine, but you…”

Xu Bijie forced a smile, “It’s good to see you’re alright. That puts your aunt’s mind at ease.”

Immediately after, a hint of bitterness appeared at the corners of Xu Bijie’s mouth.

The two returned to the room. Xu Lingqing brewed a pot of good tea and handed it to her.

“Aunt, are you hiding something from me?”

“What could I be hiding? On the contrary, how did you contact my sister?”

Xu Bijie’s sister was, of course, Xu Lingqing’s mother.

“I don’t know either. Perhaps it’s Mom looking after me from the heavens!”

“In that case, did sister leave you any instructions? I feel like the heavens of the Firo Continent have changed.”

Xu Lingqing was slightly disappointed. The words her mother had left for her couldn’t help but appear in her beautiful eyes.

Mom will always protect you!

Thinking of this, all the disappointment in Xu Lingqing’s heart was swept away, because she knew there were always two shadows behind her.

One was her mother, and the other was her ‘lover’.

Xu Lingqing took a sip of tea, “Mom just told me to go to the Xiong family in the Extreme North. There are instructions to receive me there!”

“The Xiong family? Sister told you to go to the Xiong family too?”

Xu Bijie’s tone gradually became excited, as if with a sense of importance.

“Yes, but what exactly is in that Xiong family? Why are both you and Mom telling me to go?”

Xu Bijie said calmly, “Your aunt doesn’t know either. Perhaps there’s something your mother left behind!”

“Something Mom left behind?”

“That’s right. A hundred years ago, Xiong Yangshuo had some dealings with me and your sister. It’s possible sister left something with him.”

“Wasn’t Xiong Yangshuo killed by the people from Jialan Academy?”

Xu Lingqing blinked her puzzled eyes, squinting as she looked into Xu Bijie’s pupils.

She actually saw the figure of a man with a burly back and a stocky build deep within the other’s pupils.

Xu Lingqing definitely remembered that figure. In the past, he had even tried to cooperate and negotiate with her, but Xu Lingqing couldn’t stand his arrogance and refused.

What is his relationship with my aunt?

“Xiong Yangshuo isn’t dead. He’s at least still breathing!”

Xu Lingqing opened her hazy eyes, “Aunt Bijie, are you going to go with me then?”

At this moment, two small, crystal-clear pearls suddenly fell from Xu Bijie’s eyes.

“I’m sorry, Lingqing. I can’t face him.”

“Uh…”

“Is the note your aunt left you last time still there? Just take it with you to find Xiong Yangshuo.”

Xu Lingqing clutched the note and looked down at it. There wasn’t a single word on the paper, only a few flower petals printed around the edges.

Could such an ordinary-looking note really make someone she had offended help her?

Xu Bijie parted her pearly teeth and smiled lightly. She picked up her teacup and took a sip, her tone firm and majestic.

“Lingqing, go without worry. If that Xiong Yangshuo dares to bully you, your aunt will definitely let him know the consequences of bullying someone from our Xu family.”

Xu Lingqing pursed her lips, drank the half-cup of tea in one gulp, and slowly stood up.

“Then I’ll head to the Extreme North first.”

“During this time, I’ll have to trouble you, Aunt, to help me protect the safety of Anjin City.”
