Chapter 711 - Warning you (1/2)

A frog in a well?

Gu Qianlin, being an arrogant woman, did not take kindly to such a condescending tone by a girl who looked no older than seventeen or eighteen. She refused to submit to what she viewed as an insult, even though she knew it was the Tianshan Elder. “I might not have undergone or experienced hardship, but I’ve seen much in life and there’s hardly a thing in this world that I’m not familiar with,” she responded.

“Sister…”

Gu Qianxue shook her head and pulled her sister’s sleeve to warn her not to be rude to her master. Even if what the elder had just said did not make sense, as a junior, one should still show some courtesy and respect.

But the Tianshan Elder was fond of the arrogant junior who tried to embarrass her. She lifted the corner of her lips into a sly smile and said, “Oh? Is that so? Then can you try explaining to me why all these snowflakes have suddenly stopped falling to the ground?”

“Stop the snowflakes from falling? What kind of joke is this? In this weather, do you think you can stop snow from falling just because you opened your…”

Gu Qianlin tried to argue, but just as she was about to finish her sentence, her voice trailed off. All of a sudden, the snowflakes truly did stop falling, and everything appeared like a still shot. Time and space seemed to have paused right that instant.

“What… What is going on here?”

Gu Qianlin’s eyes were wide open. She looked up in the sky, refusing to believe what she was seeing. How could this be so? It was as if there was an invisible field of energy preventing the snowflakes from falling, and they stayed hovering in the air. It was hard to imagine something like this was possible and completely changed her understanding of the world she lived in.

“See? You cannot even explain what you’re now seeing, and yet you dare say you’ve seen everything?”

Tianshan Elder said mockingly before she turned her palm over, and the snowflakes began falling once again. Everything miraculously returned to normal.

Gu Qianlin was in a complete stupor when she realized that this young-looking girl was the one responsible for what just happened. She could control the weather and even immobilize snowflakes in mid-air. It was hard to imagine such an ability existed—it was simply incredible. If she had not witnessed this in person, there was no way she would have believed something like this was possible.

At that moment, Gu Qianxue’s eyes were fixed on the human-like snowdrift in the distance, just right in front of the cave. She finally realized that it was someone who was kneeling on the ground without moving, and what shocked her was that he was the man who had a place in her heart.

“Xiao Luo?”

She started running toward him. When she confirmed it was indeed Xiao Luo, her eyes turned red, and she said, “Xiao Luo, what… What are you doing here? Why do you look so pathetic? Get up quickly, stop kneeling on the ground!”

Xiao Luo shook his head and rejected her assistance when she tried to pull him up. He smiled ruefully and said, “There is something that I need your master to help me with.”

“What’s the matter? Why do you have to kneel in the cold—will you please just get up?”

Tears kept rolling down Gu Qianxue’s face. She couldn’t bear to see Xiao Luo suffering like this. In her eyes, Xiao Luo had always been a man who was able to overcome anything. So how was it a man like him was kneeling on the ground in front of her? It left her heartbroken.

Xiao Luo shook his head again, and he was not going to waver. He needed her master’s help to increase his power!

“Xiao Luo? It’s you!”

Gu Qianlin could not have imagined that there was a man inside the snowdrift, and she was even more surprised to find out that it was Xiao Luo. She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Why is it that everywhere I go, I somehow always end up bumping into you? I’m warning you, stay away from my younger sister. You’re already married, so stop trying to ruin my sister’s life.”

Looking at how differently the sisters were reacting to Xiao Luo, Elder Long and Xiao Quanren looked at one another and a shrewd smile formed on their faces. They could tell that Tianshan Elder truly adored her disciple, and it presented a great opportunity for them as they now knew that she liked Xiao Luo.

The look on Tianshan Elder’s face changed a little. She quickly walked towards Gu Qianxue and asked, “Little Snow, do you know him?”

“Master, he’s my… my…”

“Your sweetheart?”

Before Gu Qianxue could finish her sentence, Elder Long was already walking toward her with his hands behind his back and finished her sentence for her.
