Chapter 325 (1/2)
The blue mountains were a continuous green, a sea of trees becoming a tidal wave.
Regardless of how the outside was, the Void Immortal's Abode generally was situated in an environment most suitable and most perfect for a cultivator. The qi of endless opportunity swelled unpredictably as spreading mist, as if it was being controlled by an invisible hand, floating towards the building inside the Immortal's Abode.
Outside the door.
It was the same everywhere, each millennial beauty stricken with worry.
It would make anyone feel jealous.
”The Brave Star Guan Sheng? She has signed a contract with Great Saint Starkiller of the Netherworld?”1 Wu Xinjie turned her head, quite astonished.
Chai Ling gracefully sipped her tea, immersing her lips and teeth in the fragrance. Her pink lips hooked with a smile, with slight mockery and slight mystery.
”Xinjie never thought the Brave Star would sign a contract with Great Saint Starkiller.” It was somewhat contrary to Wu Xinjie's reason. She truly did not expect this, for the Brave Star's loyalty and ferocity were famous, and in fact, the Martial Feneral that stood at the peak of the pyramid often did not hold good will towards Star Cultivators of the Netherworld's Devil Palaces. However, considering the prestige of the Brave Stars of previous Star Duels, for Guan Ying to make such a decision, Wu Xinjie could understand.
After nine generations, the name of the ”Star Duels” had already been deeply etched into Liangshan Continent.
Victory or defeat had already become its most important embodiment.
”Great Saint Starkiller. Xinjie actually did not think that Guan Ying would find such a Star Master. Yingmei definitely will be very disappointed when she hears this.” Wu Xinjie bitterly smiled: ”However, for Guan Ying to unexpectedly forge to Four Star honestly is incredible. Fortunately, Wu Song went together with you.”
Chai Ling already informed the girls of the matters inside Evil Smiting Hall. Under Wu Siyou's insistence, the matter of Lord Husband was left out, and she only spoke of that Wu Siyou had finally comprehended a new technique that defeated Guan Sheng.
As far as this new technique that could defeat a Four Star Destined Weapon was concerned, Wu Xinjie did not believe it. However, she felt there was a deeper meaning within. Wu Xinjie did not ask any further, for it was alright so long as Su Xing was unhurt.
”To speak of it, are you not angry?” Chai Ling seemingly smiled, casting a glance at Wu Xinjie. ”This man surprisingly in spite of all of you, placed himself in danger for the sake of one Immortal Hero Princess. This honestly is unlike a Star Master's style.”
”Hee, hee, Little Sister Chai Ling, do not tell Xinjie, were you not moved when My Young Lord protected Gong Caiwei.” Wu Xinjie chuckled.
Chai Ling opened the Golden Thread Feather Fan as if to cover herself: ”Why would This Palace be moved over this? Knowledge Star, such a Star Master, This Palace was too late to avoid him, to sacrifice his life for a woman.”
”Gong Caiwei and My Young Lord are somewhat in a relationship,”
Wu Xinjie shook her head. Girls that were very understanding of Su Xing's personality would not be a bit surprised he would do this. On the contrary, if Su Xing actually disregarded Gong Caiwei, Wu Xinjie would feel puzzled.
In Su Xing's heart, friends worth believing in were more important than his life.
Although Wu Xinjie very much did not understand just what sort of environment could be so incompatible with Liangshan Continent's beliefs, regardless, some profound story happened with Gong Caiwei in Flower Dragon Cave that perhaps made Su Xing treat Gong Caiwei as a friend.
Wu Xinjie remembered that Su Xing mentioned it after the Purple Star Birth Treasure Outline. At that time, he was facing the encirclement of multiple sects. Gong Caiwei not only did not treat Su Xing as an enemy, she even helped him. Just by this fact, treating her as a friend was inevitable. Perhaps it was precisely because of this personality that he would attract so many Sisters to follow him?
”Let alone…I am very aware that My Young Lord would never do something like throw his life away.” Wu Xinjie softly chuckled.
Saying this, Chai Ling recalled that bizarre Escape Technique at the very end, and she asked a question.
Hearing Wu Xinjie's explanation, Chai Ling was moved.
The Little Whirlwind had actually heard of an Escape Technique abnormal enough to be detestable as the Chaotic Tail Escape.
”Knowledge Star, can This Palace ask you about something?” Chai Ling put away her ruminating smile, asking seriously.
”Please do.”
”Su Xing, just what is his background?” Chai Ling wrinkled her brow.
Wu Xinjie laughed: ”It cannot be, could it be that the wealthiest noblewoman in the world does not know?”
”This Palace has investigated the Purple Thunder Monster.” Chai Ling spoke bluntly. As the partner that could ingest the Together To Hell, the Noble Star could not have possibly not known anything about her partner after the fact, but no matter how large the Little Whirlwind cast her net of information, the news she received in the end was still pitifully sparse.
Su Xing had seemingly dropped from Heaven.2 Background, influence, he had never even been heard of.
In the end, Chai Ling thought that Su Xing had emerged from some mountain that he could have a sort of ”simple and honest” mentality.
But after leaving Evil Smiting Hall, Chai Ling again turned over her verdict. How could a man that had emerged from a mountain have this sort of cunning. Having seven Sisters follow him based on simplicity and honesty, to have Harm Star Wu Siyou address him as Lord Husband to bring about a defeat in a millennium, how was this simple and honest at all. This was practically cheating.
”Come to think of it, Chai Ling, do you not feel that My Young Lord is very familiar?” Wu Xinjie ineffably said.
”En?”
Wu Xinjie looked pensively ”After being in contact with Young Lord for a while, you would feel as if you had met Young Lord very long ago. It makes Xinjie feel particularly at ease.”
”You also feel this way?” Chai Ling was startled.
”It seem Chai Ling, you, too?”
Chai Ling said: ”Thinking carefully, indeed This Palace feels somewhat odd.” The first time she met Su Xing, the reason why Chai Ling would so boldly be at ease with ingesting the Together To Hell with Su Xing was that her heart possessed some indescribable relief towards him. Feeling as if Su Xing had intruded into her heart, Chai Ling naturally would not speak aloud about this sort of feeling that would make her lose face, but she thought that she was mistaken. Now, hearing Wu Xinjie say this, she felt there was something not too normal.
To be able to break the rules to sign so many Sisters, there always was a reason here.
”Could it be that Su Xing actually came from Maiden Mountain?”
Chai Ling happened upon an audacious idea, but she immediately dismissed it. If that was true, the Chao Gai that came from Maiden Mountain would not be difficult on Su Xing.
