Book 9, Ji Ning of Serpentwing Lake, Chapter 23 – Holyfire

“What did you say?” Chen Jin stared at Luo Qing, an incoain!”

Luo Qing knew Chen Jin very well She naturally could guess at what Chen Jin was currently feeling, and she immediately said with solemnity, “I said…that senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus has already chosen a Dao-Companion She’s chosen someone else, not you”

Chen Jin’s face was ashen, and his body swayed

“A pity,” Luo Qing murmured to herself secretly They had been friends for many years, and so she couldn’t bear for Chen Jin to be kept in the dark However, she also knew exactly what a blow this was for Chen Jin to hear “He pursued her for so many years without success In the end, junior apprentice-brother Ji Ning, who didn’t even pursue her, ended up attracting her attention”

Chen Jin shook his head “Iyan clan; she has treeniuses of the Black-White College have ever attracted her attention Soundless and silently, she suddenly selected a Dao-Companion?”

“His na said “He’s our junior apprentice-brother His Daoist title is Darknorth”

“Junior apprentice-brother Darknorth?” Chen Jin was stunned Ji Ning, also known as Adept Darknorth, was quite resoundingly fae When this crazy junior apprentice-brother had first joined, in the Dao Debates, his performance had been such that the reincarnated Immortal, Rainbowflame Fairy Yu Wei, had been forced to personally intervene to overco out a on Guard, and so hadn’t been in the College and hadn’t

But he knew very well…for hi the school, and to have been selected by I, would definitely be one of the e

“Hi have they even known each other? Ninelotus is the future Matriarch of the Dongyan tribe; she’s extremely cautious by nature, and she considers all of her actions thoroughly Even if truly she were to choose a Dao-Companion, she would beso It is precisely this temperayan clan to jointly concur on her as their choice Even though her background is astonishi+ng, it alone wouldn’t be enough for her to be selected as the next leader Given her temperament…she couldn’t possibly have chosen a Dao-Companion this quickly!”

Luo Qing nodded “You understand her very well The choice of a Dao-Coe one’s life Indeed, she didn’t co…she’s already spent an entire year with Ji Ning, in the secluded Serpentwing Lake of S Mountain”

“She’s spent a full year with Ji Ning in his secluded residence?” Chen Jin’s face changed There was no man who could accept the fact that the wo with another man for a full year! The same was true for Immortal cultivators! In fact, the purity of an Immortal cultivator’s Dao-heart ly stubborn than most mortals

“So what if they were together for a year?” Chen Jin suppressed the rage in his heart

“When senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus and I first arrived there, we spent threesaid “I’m a woman as well; I could sense what senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus was feeling After just threeto show hints of bashfulness on her face Now that a year has passed…I can’t even guess at how far the relationshi+p between her and Ji Ning has developed!”

Chen Jin’s face was as lifeless as steel! He was completely dazed, and his mind was in a state of chaos Bashfulness? Three months? Now a year? How far the relationshi+p had developed? What had happened? Could it be that the two of them had already…

“IMPOSSIBLE!” Chen Jin let out a growl, then transfor into the distance

Watching hi couldn’t help but shake her head “He actually lost composure this badly It seems this truly was a major blow to hi you now ht for her If I were to tell you in a few years…you would probably have no hope at all”

As far as she was personally concerned, given that she, Ninelotus, and Flowcloud had all coether, she naturally felt extre and Flowcloud…she naturally was biased towards Flowcloud, Chen Jin!

Chen Jin flew blindly through the skies, confusion raging in his mind “No, no, I can’t…I can’t continue like this I need to i, to that Serpentwing Lake place in S Mountain Right now! Immediately! This very moment!”

Panic Worry Unease These emotions tore at his breast

“Flowcloud, co a hint of meditative dhyana; it actually was able to instantly suppress the turbulent emotions in Chen Jin’s heart

“Uncle Fire?” Chen Jin was stunned He looked ahead of himself, towards a mountain peak and the scarlet red estate built atop it This was the residence of one of the leaders of the third generation disciples of the Black-White College – Holyfire

“Earlier, my mind was in a state of chaos I actually unconsciously h…my heart subconsciously felt that this was the safest, e?” Chen Jin immediately flew into the estate below

Within a courtyard

A handso bald youth, dressed in a fiery red robe, was seated in the lotus position, his feet bare He seemed almost crystalline in his incomparable purity, and yet he also see the te area to rise

“Uncle Fire” Chen Jin walked in Although both he and Holyfire were third generation disciples, in tere, Holyfire was more than a century older than him When he was but a child, Holyfire had already been a proeneration disciples of the Black-White College Because Holyfire was on extreood terms with his clan, the Chen clan, ever since Chen Jin had been young, he had addressed him as ‘Uncle Fire’ Even after he hie, he continued to address Holyfire in this way
