Chapter 163 – Monstrous Geniuses (2/2)

“If it’s from you, then I need it!” said Yang Ye.

Su Qings.h.i.+’s footsteps paused for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal before she said, “Yuan Tong is a monstrous genius indeed, and he’s one of the top geniuses even in the history of the southern territory. However, you don’t have to be fearful because your natural talent isn’t any inferior to him!”

“My natural talent isn’t inferior to him?” Yang Ye said with surprise, “What do you mean?”

Su Qings.h.i.+ said, “You possess gold element profound energy and have comprehended Sword Intent in a very short period of time. Moreover, you’ve even attained the 2nd level of Sword Intent. Besides that, you can control Darkbeasts…. You’re also a Talisman Master….”

Yang Ye smiled as he said, “Can this be considered as a form of consolation?”

“Kind of!”

The two of them walked silently for a long time, and then Yang Ye stopped and looked at the woman by his side before he said, “Qings.h.i.+, how many members of the Sword Sect do you think will be able to come back alive this time?”

“I don’t know!” Su Qings.h.i.+ sighed. People die during the Ascension Rankings. Perhaps the members of the other great sects might not, but the members of the Sword Sect would definitely die because of the Ghost Sect. The two sects had been enemies for generations. So, the members of both sects could kill each other without restraint during the Ascension Rankings because it was within the rules!

“At the entrance to the city just now, you should have noticed that man by Xiu Luo’s side. Do you have information related to him?” asked Yang Ye.

Su Qings.h.i.+ shook her head and said, “I feel he’s not simple as well. But the intelligence section of my Sword Sect doesn’t possess any information related to him. Why? You feel his strength is even superior to Xiu Luo?”

“I’m not sure!” Yang Ye said, “But I sensed a dangerous aura from him. If it’s possible, then utilize the strength of the Sword Sect to investigate him. Otherwise, if he’s the Ghost Sect’s true trump card, then the partic.i.p.ating disciples of the Sword Sect would really be unable to return this time!”

Su Qings.h.i.+ nodded, and then she turned to look at Yang Ye and said, “From the beginning until the end, you were very calm and composed even when listening about the geniuses of the southern territory. Do you have some other trump card besides Sword Intent?”

Yang Ye nodded. Indeed, if he relied solely on his Sword Intent, then it would be possible to ascend the rankings. But it would be utterly impossible for him to seize the first position on the rankings. His trump card was the Sword Control Technique and Enlightened Sword Heart. With these two trump cards in his possession, he was confident that he could even battle that number one genius of the southern territory, Yuan Tong!

Su Qings.h.i.+ nodded, and then she fell silent.

Yang Ye asked slightly curiously. “Why didn’t you ask me what my trump card is?”

“Would you tell me if I asked?” Su Qings.h.i.+ stared Yang Ye straight in the eyes.

Yang Ye didn’t hesitate to nod.

A wisp of an imperceptible arc arose on the corners of Su Qings.h.i.+’s mouth. This grin was like a hundred flowers blooming at once, and it was gorgeous beyond imagination. Especially when it had appeared on an icy cold face like Su Qings.h.i.+’s.

Even though Su Qings.h.i.+’s grin was very faint, Yang Ye had still noticed it.

“Qings.h.i.+, you’re really beautiful when you smile!” said Yang Ye in a light voice.

Su Qings.h.i.+ turned her head away and then continued walking slowly and silently.

When he recalled that faint yet attractive smile that she’d revealed earlier, Yang Ye couldn’t help but hold Su Qings.h.i.+’s hand, and then pulled her delicate figure that had suddenly stiffened slightly into his embrace. After that, he said in a low voice by her ears, “Qings.h.i.+, I….”

It was unknown what Su Qings.h.i.+ had heard but a wisp of rosiness had swiftly appeared on her ears and neck….
