Holding Hands

Maybe there wouldn’t be another chance to meet each other in the future after they part at the Endless Sea.

If she missed the opportunity to hold his hand this time, she might regret it later.

“Er. Fellow Daoist Yin, you’re obviously creating more troubles for me…” Ning Fan told her using telepathy. He actually thought that Yin Suqiu only did that to keep Yun Kuang from further annoying her.

“You can just call me Suqiu…”

“What?”

“It’s nothing. You’re right. I’m a troublesome woman. However, I’m not going change myself. Or should I say, I won’t change.”

“It’s fine. I am the one who owed you something first. Let me give you a hand on handling this annoying person... Luckily he is one of Rain Palace’s messengers. With the existence of the World Law, he has no right to hurt me because of his personal matters. However, he might make things difficult for me during our journey in Great Jin.”

Ning Fan smiled bitterly and gently shook his head. He wasn’t afraid of Yun Kuang but he had to be mindful of him.

From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to see Yun Kuang harass Yin Suqiu too.

Respectfully, he turned to the angry Yun Kuang with cupped fist and said, “Fellow Daoist Yun, Suqiu is my companion. It’s true that she wasn’t ordained to be your soul mate. Since you are the divine messenger from Rain Palace, you aren’t going to continue pestering her, are you?”

“Companion?!”

Yun Kuang’s eyes glared at the couple who were holding hands together and gritted his teeth in a furious manner.

His gaze then stopped on Ning Fan with ferocious hostility. But he replaced his expression with a calm look immediately, concealing his hostility towards Ning Fan. Although he had a wild attitude, his wildness was only because of the divine ability of his divine intent. His state of mind was still at the Nascent Soul Realm, never easily unsettled.

“What’s your name!”

“Zhou Ming!” Ning Fan answered unwaveringly.

The name of “Zhou Ming” was like a blast of thunder ringing at the Gold Cold Realm cultivators’ ears.

Those cultivators were the passers-by of Wei Country. All of them would have, at least, heard of the rumour about Old Ancestor Zhou Ming.

All of a sudden, everyone’s gazes focused on Ning Fan. They didn’t expect that the inconspicuous Harmonious Spirit Realm young man was in fact, a formidable Nascent Soul Realm expert!

It’s no wonder that he dared to hold the woman who Yun Kuang fancied right before him!

Unfortunately, Yun Kuang was an unsociable man. He hadn’t heard of Zhou Ming before.But he etched the name into his memories without displaying the slightest trace of his true intentions.

“Oh, it’s Zhou Ming. I am so lucky to meet you.” He directly called out his name without addressing him as a fellow Daoist. It was utterly an act of disrespect. Ning Fan frowned slightly upon hearing what he said.

I seemed to have offended him.

However, what does it matter if I have offended him? Ning Fan might be apprehensive of the Rain Palace’s true strength but it enforced the World Law that everyone had to obey.

The World Law was the main reason why that Old Scholar and woman tried to attack Ning Fan.

Also, it would restrict Yun Kuang from attacking me.

Yun Kuang might create more troubles for Ning Fan. As long as those troubles wouldn’t cost Ning Fan’s life, he would somewhat tolerate Yun Kuang.

All he wanted was to borrow the teleportation formation in Great Jin. He wouldn’t be involved in another mess as Yin Suqiu had brought enough problems for him in the previous journey.

Upon seeing Ning Fan’s lack of reaction towards him, Yun Kuang let out a wry laugh and an indescribable arc formed on his face.

“Oh right. You all came during this time for the teleportation formation, didn’t you?”

“Precisely. I am wondering if you could give us any advice about it.”

“I don’t have any of it. But if you all really want to use the teleportation formation, you are required to joined Great Jin’s army to fight against the Gold Core and Nascent Soul Realm demons. Apparently, you aren’t competent enough to join the army since you are a mere Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. According to the decree of the Ruler of Jin, the participants must at least reach the Gold Core Realm.”

“We shall see whether I am qualified or not. Moreover, this is my business with Great Jin. You can save your effort regarding this matter.”

“Hmmph! Then, I, Yun Kuang will be waiting to see whether you are strong enough to join them!”

When he was trying to continue his speech, a sword light flew towards them out of nowhere. Its speed was even faster than a Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

The sword light then dispersed into a message transmission, blasting before Yun Kuang. A hoarse voice of an old man began to speak around them.

“All divine messengers, please return as fast as possible. This old man has something to say!”

Even though the voice wasn’t loud, it could be clearly heard within the vicinity of a hundred li. Besides, there was a fearsome pressure which could only be exerted after one had comprehended the heavens and earth. It made the old monsters at the scene to quiver in anxiety.

As for Ning Fan, his eyes radiated seriousness even though he wasn’t affected by the intimidating pressure.

Message transmission on a flying sword! It could only be performed by a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator!

“Revered Elder, what brings you here?”
