The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder

“Lady Xue may find this funny, by this old one would really like to be sick instead of Yang’er . In this way, this old one could have the right to say ‘don’t mind me’ to Qing’er . ”

Bleak, it sounded so bleak that Xue Qilin suddenly felt a bit sad .

Life plays games on us . If Heaven wasn’t callous, how could the hero of a generation Gong Jing be reduced to this?

Perhaps feeling the same, Luo Hong assumed a silent posture and Gong Tianqing, who has been trying to break free until now, became still . However, Xue Qilin could hear her sobbing quietly .

After a short moment of silence, Xue Qilin lowered her head, and a stifled, oppressed voice sounded .

“Gong Tianyang does not matter to me . ”

Gong Jing doesn’t seem to be surprised that Xue Qilin would say such a thing .

“This old one knows . After all, Yang’er has never met Lady Xue . ”

“Old Master Gong, I’m sorry . ”

Xue Qilin raised her head .

A sudden wind came from behind and swept her long hair .

“But I must take Little Qing away . ”

Her hair dancing in the wind, Xue Qilin pulled out Luo Qing’s sword . The sword contains Luo Qing’s will — she sincerely looks forward to the happiness of everyone in the Merak Temple .

“– Gong Tianqing’s happiness is not here . ”

Maybe it is just wishful thinking .

But she has made up her mind already and has not wavered from the start .

However —

“Young Ancestor, my happiness should be decided by me!”

All of a sudden, a voice came into her ears .

Xue Qilin couldn’t help but hold her breath .

In the peripheral vision, Gong Tianqing, who has struggled free at some point, looked at her sadly . There are still teardrops hanging from the corners of her eyes and the rims of her eyes are red, yet the expression in her eyes is resolute . Xue Qilin didn’t dare to look back at her, afraid that she would waver .

“I want to stay here . My brother needs me . ”

Gong Tianqing’s voice went deep into Xue Qilin’s heart .

After leaving this sentence behind, Gong Tianqing turned around and ran towards the small building . Listening to the sound of footsteps gradually getting further away, Xue Qilin slowly covered part of her field of vision with a hand .

“Needs ...”

Her voice quivered, her lips trembled, her hands shook .

Xue Qilin was hurt after all .

At this time, she suddenly whished that she had a firm heart, that she could carry out her will unswervingly .

“Lady Xue, it’s tough for you . ”

Luo Hong closed his eyes and sighed .

Normally, she would retort with “are you being sarcastic?”, but now she just keep silent .

“Perhaps, as Lady Xue said, Qing’er’s happiness is not here, but in the Merak Temple . ”

A myriad of emotions welled up inside Gong Jing’s eyes .

Be that as it may, his will did not waver .

“Since Qing’er chose to stay here, I can’t sit by and watch Lady Xue insult her will . ”

“... even if it’s twisted?”

Xue Qilin opened her mouth a little laboriously and said thusly .

The bleak and gloomy her is like an abandoned kitten, pitiful .

“Even if it’s twisted . ” After a pause, Gong Jing said with some sympathy and helplessness, “Although the chances may no be high, but this old one would still like to ask anyway . Won’t Lady Xue leave? To tell the truth, this old one doesn’t want to be Lady Xue’s enemy .

“Lady Xue, one against two is not a wise choice . ”

Luo Hong advised as well .

Consequently —

“No, it’s two against two . ”

The one to answer was not Xue Qilin .

A voice suddenly butted in . The voice was so vague that it appears to have rung directly in the head . The people present can not only not determine the direction it came from, but also can’t even tell whether the speaker is male or female .

Who is it? Xue Qilin looked around warily . Luo Hong and Gong Jing looked at each other solemnly .

There are three Heaven Realm breaths at the moment . Apart from them, Xue Qilin can’t sense anyone else . However, the voice that answered Luo Hong just now must have a source, that is to say, there is a fourth person hiding somewhere .

The thick clouds covered the moon again .

As if a dark gauze covered the eyes, everything in the field of vision turned dim . The wind has stopped as well . The environment became so quiet that even a needle falling could be heard, yet Xue Qilin still couldn’t hear anything .

The new arrival must be an expert at hiding their breath . Otherwise it would be impossible to completely hide from Xue Qilin’s senses .

But who is it? Xue Qilin’s vigilance rose, hitting the critical point in an instant .

“You –!”

An intense fluctuation of true qi suddenly broke out . The source is near . It’s right next to her .

Xue Qilin nearly failed to react . However, she instinctively inclined her head to the left and leaned back . The next moment, some kind of ice-cold, sharp weapon streaked across her right cheek lightning fast .

She is completely oblivious to what happened . She just detected a dim blue radiance when the approaching danger broke through her domain that appeared to protect her automatically .

Blood flowers bloomed in the air .

Although she dodged the sudden attack in the nick of time, but her right cheek was still cut by the sharp weapon . Seeing a few strands of cut hair dissipate with the wind, Xue Qilin finally realized that she was attacked .

When did they approach? Xue Qilin was overwhelmed with shock .

The attacker has no breath . But at the moment of the attack, they leaked fluctuations of true qi, proving that it is a person, not something else .

Dust suddenly rose on the ground not far away . In the dust, there is a cloth-like black phantom .

There! Xue Qilin used Flying Flames at once .

— as if fired by crossbows .

Several fire arrows shot out from the vortex behind her and barreled towards the black phantom . However, before Flying Flames hit them, as if they plunged into a black whirlpool in the void, they suddenly disappeared .

As a result, Flying Flames missed .

The fire arrows hit the ground and raised more dust .

At the moment when Xue Qilin waved her hand and raised a gust of wind to disperse the dust and clear the field of vision —

“Junior Disciple Brother, you have become rusty . ”

“It’s you — oh!”

Two voices sounded almost at the same time .

Xue Qilin realized one of the voices as Luo Hong’s . She looked over at once, and then opened her eyes wide .

She saw a scene that shook her heart .

At some point, the black phantom got behind Luo Hong . It is different from a moment ago . At this moment, it looks like a cloth that was rolled up into a drill crowned by a dark dagger .

Half of the dagger disappeared in Luo Hong’s waist . He was stabbed .

How is that possible? Is it that easy to hit Luo Hong? Xue Qilin can’t believe her eyes .

Gong Jing snorted and rushed out to rescue Luo Hong .

After a moment of hesitation, Xue Qilin rushed over as well .

The two were very fast . But before they arrived, the dagger was pulled out of Luo Hong .

After tracing a complex trajectory in the air, the attacker pulled open the distance . In the end, looking like a piece of black cloth was pulled from a small hole, he rapidly condensed into a small point, and then disappeared from everyone’s view .
