On the evening of accepting the challenge, Fang Wang infiltrated the Li Mansion, relying on his Breath Concealment Technique and Shadowless Step, he moved like a ghost, searching for the trail of the girl in green.
Before long, Fang Wang found the room where the girl in green was staying, after White Garment Astonishing Swan received the challenge, Li Honggang withdrew the cultivators guarding the room, and there wasn’t even anyone patrolling the mansion.
Fang Wang stood in front of the window, peering through the crack, the girl in green was sitting cross-legged on the bed, she didn’t seem to have suffered at all.
Fang Wang immediately transmitted his voice to her, ‘Miss Qing, are you alright? Do not sneak. vou iust need to nod or shake vour head.’
Upon hearing this, the girl in green trembled and then nodded.
“Have you been poisoned?”
The girl in green shook her head.
Fang Wang used his spiritual sense to scan the room, after confirming there was no danger, he motioned for the girl in green to follow him.
As soon as the girl in green stepped out of the room, he swept her up and quickly left, using his movement techniques all the way, he went undetected by the people of Li Mansion, and Li Honggang had begun his retreat and paid no attention to the outside.
Taking advantage of the night, Fang Wang took the girl in green away from Haixia City, he escorted her for a hundred li before stopping and saying, “You can go back on your own from here.”
The girl in green landed on her feet, looking surprised as she asked, “Aren’t you going back? Are you actually going to accept the challenge?”
That afternoon, Li Honggang had found her, informing her that White Garment Astonishing Swan had accepted the challenge, which made her worried all day; when Fang Wang found her, she thought they would escape together, but Fang Wang was actually planning to return.
“Yes, I’ve rescued you so now I can face Li Honggang without any pressure,” Fang Wang replied.
The journey had been smooth, with no pursuers from the Li Mansion, which showed that Li Honggang was indeed forthright. Given that, he was determined to accept the challenge.
Perhaps, the ease with which he rescued the girl in green had been tacitly allowed by Li Honggang himself.
“But… Li Honggang is a Great Cultivator of the Spirit Elixir Realm, why bother to contend with him?” the girl in green said anxiously, she had heard from Fang Hanyu that Fang Wang joined the Great Abyss Gate at the same time as he did.
Fang Wang smiled and said, “Having accepted the challenge, how can I not fight? Everyone knows White Garment Astonishing Swan is a disciple of the Great Abyss Gate, I represent not only myself but also the honor of the Great Abyss Gate.”
Since he aimed to compete with Lu Yuanjun for the position of head disciple, Fang Wang needed to earn prestige, and what better way to do it than with one feat of valor after another!
Others might not know who White Garment Astonishing Swan was, but Fang Wang believed that Guang Qiuxian and Yang Yuanzi certainly did.
And furthermore…
Fang Wang was very confident!
This was no longer a battle out of hatred but one for spirit and reputation!
One day, the name White Garment Astonishing Swan would be bound with
Fang Wang, and before all this happened, he wanted to make the name of White Garment Astonishing Swan a goal for the disciples of the Great Abyss Gate to strive for.
Hearing these words, the girl in green remained silent.
“Miss Qing, please go back quickly, so your family won’t worry,” Fang Wang urged.
The girl in green stamped her foot and huffed, “What Miss Qing? I have a name, I’m called Qing Wan’er, call me Wan’er from now on!”
With that, she turned and darted into the forest, quickly disappearing into the night.
Fang Wang chuckled and, without dwelling on it, turned to head back to Haixia City.
ft•venty days, not too long, yet not too short, Fang Wang remained in seclusion at the Gu Family Mansion, which made it difficult for Gu Li to disturb him.
Gradually, more and more cultivators gathered in Haixia City, all drawn by the impending battle between White Garment Astonishing Swan and Li Honggang.
White Garment Astonishing Swan’s slaying of Li Hongshuang had propelled his fame, and as a Spirit Elixir Realm cultivator, Li Honggang was a figure of significance for most ordinary cultivators.
A duel at the level of the Spirit Elixir Realm was a rare sight, how could it not attract loose cultivators, and young members of noble families to come and join the excitement.
The night before the decisive battle.
Fang Wang came out of the house and found Gu Li, the two of them sat opposite each other at a table.
“Miss Gu, after observing the battle tomorrow, you should return to the Great Abyss Gate. I have matters to attend to and won’t be able to return for a while,” Fang Wang started.
He guessed Gu Li had come for his sake, even if he was presuming, he felt it necessary to clarify, to prevent Gu Li from waiting in vain.
Gu Li frowned and asked, “Is it because of your injured family member? Is his injury severe?”
“Yes, he needs several months to recover.”
“Do you need my help?”
“Thank you for your kindness, Miss Gu, but there’s no need for you to worry, he’s already recovering. However, it’s inconvenient to disclose his location.”
Fang Wang expressed his apologies; the Fang Residence had not yet reached the Fang Realm, and was not yet established, so he dared not invite Gu Li into the Fang Realm.
