On the distant mountain peak, a woman stood with her back to Ye Chu and the group, dressed in white, pure and holy like snow. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, like a fairy about to ride the wind away. Standing there, she was like an orchid in an empty valley, extremely otherworldly. She possessed a tranquil beauty that seemed to harmonise with the surrounding heaven and earth. She had a supremely natural beauty, as if all the spiritual grace of heaven and earth was concentrated in her alone. An aura of transcending the mundane rushed towards them. Looking at her back, Ye Chu felt she was a fairy who did not consume the food of mortals, with peerless elegance.
“How is she here?” Ye Chu stood blankly in place. Only she had this kind of aura, the kind of peerless beauty that made all the beautiful things in the world pale in comparison.
Ye Chu’s mood was complicated, his eyes a bit dazed, staring blankly at the back of the person about to ride the wind away.
“Junior Brother Ye Chu, please forgive my offence!” Xiang Ting stood in front of Ye Chu. Not noticing his abnormal state, she cupped her hands in a salute to him. Power surged from her body, and the Evil Spirit Technique condensed in her hands. The technique formed a hurricane that rolled towards Ye Chu. The hurricane was extremely violent, and the howling wind turned into water waves that rushed at him.
This terrifying attack made many people look towards Ye Chu, wanting to witness just how strong he truly was.
Ye Chu stood there, his expression complicated. His mind was already occupied by various thoughts, and he had forgotten his current situation. Even as Xiang Ting attacked, Ye Chu continued to stare blankly at the figure on the mountain peak.
Everyone watched as Xiang Ting’s power was about to strike Ye Chu. Seeing that he had not yet moved to defend himself, many disciples could not help but glance at each other, wondering if Ye Chu was really that strong. The power was about to hit him, yet he still had not made a move.
Xiang Ting was also extremely alarmed. She naturally did not believe her casual move could hit Ye Chu, especially since the strength he had just displayed was too formidable. Seeing Ye Chu ignore her attack, and watching the surging storm about to hit him without him making a move, Xiang Ting was shaken. She wondered just how strong Ye Chu had to be to dare be so confident…
Everyone thought Ye Chu could block this move, but the result was extremely surprising. The move that they thought could not possibly affect Ye Chu struck him directly. Without a doubt, Ye Chu was blasted away by the storm. His figure flew backwards and smashed heavily into a large tree in the distance. The tree snapped directly, and blood gushed from Ye Chu’s mouth.
Looking at Ye Chu spitting blood, everyone was utterly dumbfounded. They had witnessed his formidable strength, defeating Hong Tianbao with a single strike. But now he was blasted away by a casual strike from Xiang Ting. This…
“Is it over just like that?” Everyone stared blankly at Ye Chu with strange expressions, wondering what he meant. They naturally did not believe that Ye Chu could not block this move.
“Could it be that Ye Chu has taken a fancy to Xiang Ting?” Everyone’s gaze fell on Xiang Ting. She had a plump figure, graceful and enchanting curves, and a delicate, beautiful face. She was indeed a beauty. But… was this kind of tactic really effective?
Having been blasted away and smashing into the large tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ye Chu felt the surging blood qi in his body and finally realised he was still in a duel. Glancing at the sexy and alluring Xiang Ting standing in front of him, Ye Chu took out a jin of purple gold liquid, threw it to her, and said, “I admit defeat!”
With no heart to continue fighting, Ye Chu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressed the surging blood qi in his body, and after a moment’s thought, his figure leaped. He stood in mid-air and shot towards the mountain peak where that figure had been standing.
Ye Chu admitting defeat so decisively made Xiang Ting grit her teeth. A cold expression appeared on her beautiful face. Her red lips were tightly pursed, and her delicate fists were clenched tightly. Looking at Ye Chu’s retreating figure, her face showed a mix of shame and anger.
“What does this mean? Admitting defeat on purpose? Does he look down on me that much? Does he not even have the interest to fight me?”
Xiang Ting wanted to make a move to stop Ye Chu, but his speed was too fast. By the time she wanted to block him, Ye Chu was already a hundred metres away. Seeing Ye Chu’s speed, Xiang Ting’s expression became even uglier!
“Bastard!” Xiang Ting kicked the stone in front of her fiercely, cursing angrily to vent her frustration. In Xiang Ting’s view, Ye Chu was completely despising her, not even having the intention to fight her.
Zhang Zheng and the others also frowned deeply, feeling displeased. They thought, even if Ye Chu is truly strong, Xiang Ting is not bad either. Despising Xiang Ting like this is also despising them.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards Ye Chu. Zhang Zheng looked towards the distant mountain peak and saw a woman in white in his line of sight. Seeing the back of this woman, Zhang Zheng was slightly stunned, wondering when she had come out.
Zhang Zheng blinked hard, trying to confirm if it was her, but he found that the spot was completely empty.
…
Ye Chu naturally did not know that Xiang Ting had now considered his actions an insult. With a complicated mood, Ye Chu shot up to the mountain peak, but the beautiful woman was nowhere to be found.
Ye Chu stood in the exact spot where she had just been standing, looking around, but she had truly ridden the wind away.
Not seeing her, Ye Chu let out a light sigh of relief, and surprisingly felt a bit relaxed. This feeling made Ye Chu shake his head with a bitter smile, thinking that subconsciously, he still did not want to see her.
This person was none other than Lin Shixin. Just from her back, Ye Chu was already certain. In this world, there were two people he did not want to see, Ji Die and Lin Shixin. Ji Die was a bit better, after all, this woman did not take him to heart, and she did not take the things that happened in the past seriously either. Besides, he had interacted with Ji Die afterwards, so he did not need to avoid her like before. Facing Ji Die, he could at least remain calm and composed.
But Lin Shixin was different. She was his maternal grandmother’s adopted daughter, and also his nominal aunt. Before that, Lin Shixin had adored Ye Chu extremely, and this adoration had reached an unparalleled level.
Whenever Ye Chu occasionally visited his grandmother, Lin Shixin took care of him meticulously. No one could ever imagine that this woman, who could be called perfect and looked like a fairy, had once personally washed Ye Chu’s feet.
Lin Shixin adored Ye Chu just like that.
But it was precisely because of this adoration that Ye Chu became bold. Obsessed with Lin Shixin’s beauty, Ye Chu actually attempted to act inappropriately.
Of course, Ye Chu’s little tricks back then naturally did not succeed. But this completely hurt Lin Shixin, and after that, she would not even see Ye Chu.
Ye Chu’s grandmother was also angered by this and drove Ye Chu back to Yao City. After that, Ye Chu had no face to go to his grandmother’s house again, and he did not dare to see Lin Shixin. But unexpectedly, he actually ran into Lin Shixin here.
Ye Chu was unlearned and good for nothing back then. He only heard his grandmother say that Lin Shixin had peerless talent, but as a wealthy idler, he did not care about such things. He did not know how strong Lin Shixin was, but judging from the way she disappeared in an instant just now, it was hard for Ye Chu to evaluate just how powerful she had become.
Ye Chu was just puzzled about one thing. How was Lin Shixin here? Could she be a disciple of the Tianxiao Pavilion?
