Chapter 437: Tearing Paper

Ning Que found it rather odd that he did not see Chen Pipi or Tang Xiaotang at the back of the mountain .

After leaving the back of the mountain, he walked by the old library . He went upstairs to read and saw the Third Sister, Yu Lian by the eastern windows . He went up and greeted her . She did not know where Tang Xiaotang was either .

Were Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang really dating?

He smiled when he thought of that . Then, his expression darkened .

”Everybody has its own business . There is no point in worrying for others . ”

Yu Lian put down the brush in her hands and looked up . She said to him, ”Your businesses will always be your own and only you yourself can deal with them . ”

It was already in the late spring . The eastern windows blocked the blazing sunlight . The winds blew through the trees outside the window . And in the distant forest, one could already hear the faint calls of cicadas .

Ning Que understood what Senior Sister meant . He looked at her tender face and mature expression and suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something important that had to do with her .

The wind in summer had finally come to the depths of the mainland from the sea . The West-Hill Divine Kingdom was located to the southwest of the Tang Empire, closer to sea and summer arrived here even earlier .

The rain and warm air allowed the plants on the Peach Mountain to grow vibrantly . Several green plants began to grow on the jade white cliffs and fill the entire mountain with greenery . They grew on the broken walls of countless Temples Taoism, bringing beauty to the solemn place .

In the remote corner of the third cliff was a stone house . Compared with the luxuriant surroundings, that of the stone house appeared plain and even a little withered . People rarely visited this place .

The stone house was not completely enclosed . There were several vents on the side facing the cliff . Light streamed in through these holes which were not windows but at least allowed some light to get into the house .

There was a desk beneath the vents .

Ye Hongyu sat in front of the desk, reading the paper on it . She looked focused and serious, as if she was completely captivated by the paper and had no interest in anything else .

It was a letter from the Sword Garret of South Jin Kingdom with a crudely drawn sword on the paper .

She had been looking at the sword on the paper and sitting in the

stone house for days . She had not left the house, and food and water were delivered by the servants from the Judicial Department . She did not know that the cliffs outside the house had grown verdant and red with blooming flowers, nor did she know that the seasons had changed from spring to summer . Besides that, she did not notice the change in att.i.tudes towards her from the people in the Divine Hall .

On a certain night in summer, someone came to the stone house .

The door was slowly pushed open, revealing the respectful face of Chen Bachi .

Chen Bachi looked at the girl in gree taoist robe by the desk, appreciated the girl's figure under the taoist robe before lowering his head and said, ”The commander is waiting for your reply . ”

Chen Bachi was an official in the Judicial Department, who had once been the commander of the cavalryman of Divine Hall . The commander he was talking about was of course not himself, but commander Luo Kedi who held a special divine guard position in the Divine Hall .

Ye Hongyu did not react when she heard that . She remained sitting at her desk and reading her book calmly, in which she had hidden the letter with the sword drawing .

Chen Baichi was not surprised by her cold reaction . After some mocking, he said, ”The commander knelt before the hierarch for an entire night yesterday . ”

Ye Hongyu's long slender fingers that were flipping the book stiffened slightly and her gaze that was on the book grew indifferent .

”The commander's feelings for you are sincere . Even the hierarch can feel that . The commander wants me to tell you that he hopes you can understand it . ”

Chen Bachi did not add anything else . In his opinion, if the Hierarch Lord had already silently agreed to the matter, the useless Tao Addict did not have any right to refuse .

Ye Hongyu did not refuse, nor did she request for time to consider it like she did before .

She did not turn around to look at Chen Bachi with angry and cold eyes that could form a Taoist Sword .

She just remained silent .

She looked at the book on the desk silently, and then flipped it to the back . She kept flipping it until she reached where the letter was . She stared at the crooked sword and said blandly, ”It seems that even if I own you, there still isn't enough time . ”

Chen Bachi did not hear it clearly what she was saying .

Ye Hongyu took out the letter and tore it apart . She did not tear the letter into pieces, but used her nimble fingers to tear against the messy lines - to tore the sword off the piece of paper carefully .

After a moment, a small, thin and lopsided paper sword appeared between her fingers .

”What do you see?”

Ye Hongyu held the paper sword between two fingers and asked Chen Bachi .

Chen Bachi furrowed his brows and looked at the paper uncomprehendingly .

Ye Hongyu said, ”You don't even understand this . No wonder you'd remain a blind man forever . ”

After saying this, she handed her right hand forward and thrust the paper sword between her fingers to Chen Bazi's forehead .

Chen Bachi had once been the commander of the cavalryman of Divine Hall and he was in the upper Seethrough State . Even at Ye Hongyu's peak, he was only second to her . Now that Ye Hongyu's cultivation state had fallen to the lower Seethrough State and it was even about to fall into the No Doubts State . She was no longer the Tao Addict . How would he be afraid of her?

Chen Bachi was both surprised and irritated by the paper sword heading towards his forehead . A sinister smile appeared on his face . To him, the paper sword with the length of one finger was ludicrous . He thought to himself that the Tao Addict would rather die than to accept defeat and he planned how to shame her .

However, at the next moment, his smile froze .

Because he could sense a great aura bursting forth from the thin paper sword, which enveloped his body all of a sudden .

It was the great sword style .

Chen Baichi seemed to see a ceaseless flow of turbid water rus.h.i.+ng towards him . It seemed that the great river between South Jin Kingdom and the Great River Kingdom lifted off the surface of earth and rushed towards him .
