Chapter 154 – The Little Fellow Advances (1/2)

Yang Ye turned around to gaze at Su Qings.h.i.+. The woman before him still wore a white dress while her beautiful hair was spread out behind her, and two strands of gorgeous hair hung down from her temples and swayed along with the wind. She had an exquisite appearance, a curvaceous body, and a tranquil and elegant bearing. All of this caused Yang Ye to feel his heart speed up slightly.

Su Qings.h.i.+ was slightly unable to bear Yang Ye’s gaze, and she turned her head to look out the window.

Yang Ye suddenly asked. “Qings.h.i.+, do you still remember the agreement between the two of us?”

Su Qings.h.i.+ nodded.

“I’m wondering whether you would give me a chance to pursue you if I wasn’t able to ascend onto the Ascension Rankings. Or perhaps, if the others from the Sword Sect were able to ascend to the top 3 positions on the Ascension Rankings, then would you give them a chance to pursue you,” said Yang Ye.

He’d thought of this question a very long time ago. The two of them had been together beneath Death Abyss that day, yet he wondered throughout this period he was in contact with her about whether she was ceaselessly helping and protecting him because it was him, Yang Ye, or because he could ascend onto the Ascension Rankings to seize benefits for the Sword Sect?

He’d thought of this question but had never given the answer any thought because such an answer was usually very cruel.

Su Qings.h.i.+ remained silent for a short moment before she said, “Is there any difference?”

“Of course there is!” Yang Ye said, “If you made that agreement with me for the sake of the Sword Sect, then let me tell you that you don’t have to wrong yourself. I, Yang Ye, repay my debts. Since you’ve saved my life, then take my partic.i.p.ation in the Ascension Rankings on behalf of the Sword Sect as my way of repaying your kindness.”

Emotions weren’t like the Sword Dao, and he couldn’t do as he pleased. Yang Ye understood this principle.

If the woman standing before him really didn’t like him, then he wouldn’t use the Ascension Rankings to put pressure on her. Just as he’d said, Su Qings.h.i.+ had rescued both him and his younger sister, so he would take partic.i.p.ating in the Ascension Rankings on behalf of the Sword Sect as a form of repayment to her.

Actually, Yang Ye understood that if a person didn’t possess strength, then no one in this world would like that person. However, Yang Ye still hoped that Su Qings.h.i.+ had helped him and made that agreement with him because it was him, Yang Ye, and not because he could ascend the Ascension Rankings for the Sword Sect. But Yang Ye wasn’t confident that the answer would be the former.

It sounded very conflicting, yet it wasn’t at all. If Su Qings.h.i.+ helped him because it would be him who she helped and had made that agreement with him for the exact same reason, then it proved that she cared about him.

On the other hand, if it was because he could ascend onto the Ascension Rankings and seize benefits for the Sword Sect, then it meant that if someone else could do the same, it was very likely that Su Qings.h.i.+ would agree to the same or even worst conditions than those she promised Yang Ye.

Yang Ye understood one thing very well, the Sword Sect was very important in Su Qings.h.i.+’s heart!

Su Qings.h.i.+ remained silent, and so did Yang Ye. Both of them stood side by side before the window and gazed at the scenery in the distance.

After a long time, Su Qings.h.i.+ said, “The reason I didn’t kill you at the bottom of Death Abyss wasn’t that you had the potential to ascend the Ascension Rankings, and it was instead because you disregarded your life to save me in the Grand Myriad Mountains. I went to save you at Southpeace City because you were a disciple of the Sword Sect, and at the same time, I wanted to repay the debt I owe you for saving my life. As for the agreement between the two of us…. Even though I, Su Qings.h.i.+, want to revive the Sword Sect, I wouldn’t do it in such a way. You’ve underestimated me, and you’ve underestimated yourself.”

Yang Ye smiled when he heard this, and it was a heartfelt smile. Because he understood what she meant.

Su Qings.h.i.+ flipped her right hand, and a sheathed violet sword appeared in it. She said, “This is the low-grade Earth Rank sword, Violet Spirit. You don’t just need a formidable strength when partic.i.p.ating in the Ascension Rankings, you need a formidable Dark Treasure as well. With this sword in your possession, your strength out to improve greatly!”

Yang Ye’s heart felt warm, but he didn’t take it. With a command in his heart, the loud sound of a sword being unsheathed resounded. He pointed at the s.p.a.ce before him and said, “I have a Dark Treasure already!”

A wisp of surprise flashed in Su Qings.h.i.+’s eyes as she stretched out her hand to touch the Hidden Sword, and then she said, “What an odd sword. With this sword and your Sword Control Technique, its might would multiply. Was this given to you by that mysterious old man?”

Yang Ye nodded.

Su Qings.h.i.+ nodded lightly, and then she pa.s.sed Violet Spirit to Yang Ye and said, “You can treat that sword of yours as a trump card and take your opponents by surprise during the Ascension Rankings. Use Violet Spirit at other times!”

Yang Ye still wanted to refuse because he felt that Su Qings.h.i.+ probably needed it more than he did. However, Su Qings.h.i.+ didn’t give him the chance to refuse at all because she immediately turned around and left.

When she arrived at the door, Su Qings.h.i.+ stopped and said, “I’ll seriously consider what you said about taking control of the Sword Sect. Besides that, don’t leave the Sword Sect in the near future.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t stay here any longer and swiftly vanished from Yang Ye’s field of vision.

Yang Ye gazed at the direction Su Qings.h.i.+ left towards for a short while before he finally withdrew his gaze. As he gazed at the sword in his hand, he felt that she hadn’t given him this sword simply because of the reason she’d told him. Because he noticed that her expression was slightly abnormal when she gave it to him!
