Chapter 41: Did you really start to grow feelings for the De that Shen Qiao hadn't said anything, couldn't help but turn to look at hi, you can't tell either?”

Shen Qiao shook his head, not answering her question

After anotherfor severalwith everyone's eardruht so with Sect Master Yan today was fun and satisfactory I really appreciated you enlighteningin a nook for soat the bottom of a well — able to see only the little patch of sky above you Master-in-Charge Ruyan is used to do the Southern State I can veryfor you to suddenly run into a matched rival Well, coet used to it”

The instant Yan Wushi+ opened his nash their teeth caain However, as he stood on the cliff with his hands clasped behind hi in the wind, it also made people want to behold him, for many of them understood that they probably could not reach his level of strength and martial arts in their lifetime It was human nature to admire the powerful ones, therefore, it would be a lie to say that these people didn't have any ad Moon Sect, as powerful enough to support such arrogance

On the other hand, Ruyan Kehui was able to reood hed, ”Sure If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely visit you in person to ask for more advice!”

Ruyan Kehui's voice was normal as usual, and so was Yan Wushi+'s The observers could not hear any sign of injuries from their voices, which made them unable to help but wonder internally: These two spenttime, yet not only was no one injured, but neither of the of swords between two experts of a lifeti to end with a draw?

Some of the them were also present at Half-step Peak to witness Shen Qiao falling off the cliff under Kunye's attack Even though the Xiongnu's victory had causedthem somewhat unpleasant, an intense battle like that deserved such an intense result Today, Ruyan Kehui and Yan Wushi+'s state of her level For their duel to end in such a way, people sure felt unsatisfied

However, be it Yan Wushi+ or Ruyan Kehui, neither of them needed to explain to others the reasons behind their actions After exchanging a few more words, they swiftly floated down fro next to the creek, while the other by the stony beach not far from Shen Qiao

Ruyan Kehui cupped his hands at Yan Wushi+ and said, ”Since Sect Master Yan ca way, I should serve as a host If Sect Master Yan could tell , I will send you an invitation in the nauest”

Yan Wushi+ replied coldly, ”There's no need I can't tolerate the water at Linchuan Institute I'o, I'll return with a stos on virtue and morality You may as well save them to fool those idiots out there!”

Ruyan Kehui smiled, and did not push the matter any further ”Then I will takehis sleeves, he turned to leave His steps looked ordinary, however, in the blink of an eye he was already many meters away This was truly a peerless martial arts that struck people with awe anddid I sigh and wipe away riefs and fears

Though I ifts enhanced and curbed my pride,

At morn they'd elica should wear,

Then cursed me for my melilotus fair

But since ret a thousand deaths to die…”

(-translated by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang)

A song ca the verses from ”The Lah the valley Even the sorrowfulness that the poeinally e everyone who heard it feel refreshed and uplifted

It seemed like Ruyan Kehui wasn't at all affected by the battle with Yan Wushi+, o, Dou Yanshan actively claimed in front of everyone in the city that he'd also like a duel with Yan Wushi+ After he had witnessed their fight, however, he simply turned around and left without a word

Some trouble-lovers who frowned on how Six Harmonies association dominated the trade couldn't help but shout out, ”Didn't Chair so quickly?”

Dou Yanshan stopped in his tracks and threw that person a glance, causing the on, I may not be Sect Master Yan's h to handle someone like you?” Dou Yanshan asked with a faint sht that he could even call out his na more and quickly slipped aith his tail tucked between his legs

Yan Wushi+ gazed at the sight of Ruyan Kehui floating into the distance for a mo the ain landed on where he stood on the cliff just now and cliht and swift like an eagle In just a few breaths, he was already nowhere to be seen

Since the one, there were no reason for the rest to stay The spectators left one after another, still feeling regret in their hearts But it was hard to say which they were more reluctant about; the draw today or the uncertainty of when they could witness a fight of siain

Before the battle,Yan Wushi+ was, Ruyan Kehui should be the superior one After all, one was just within the Top Ten ranking, while the other ranked aest martial artists under the Heaven After today, however, no one dared to say this anymore Yan Wushi+'s reputation was destined to scale new heights, and this battle would definitely beco accidents, this should be the ilistic world in recent years

Without anyone noticing, Bai Rong who had been standing next to Shen Qiao had already disappeared

She always ca a hen she left

Shen Qiao didn't chase after her, nor did he go back the way he came from He squinted for a moment, and then took another path in the end

By now, the sky had already entirely darkened

After nightfall, the wind in the h it was April, it couldn't be considered su winds that whistled and shrieked as they passed through the cracks between host

This mountain was a little similar to Half-Step Peak, the one Shen Qiao and Kunye had battled on Although it wasn't as high, footholds were extre noisily in the night wind, but forget about using them as shelter to keep warm, there was a lack of space to even lean on them

But a little way down the other side of the cliff, there was an indent that forh to hold three or four people inside With a rock wall at the back and an outcropping over the head; it was a natural refuge from the wind

Inside the cave, there was a silhouette sitting cross-legged

When Li Yue walked in, the other person didn't move at all, just as if they were dead

”Sect Master Yan?” he ventured

If anyone else was here, hearing this name would have scared them out of their wits

Yan Wushi+ had left early just like Ruyan Kehui, ould he appear again in this mountain cave?

Li Yue repeatedly called him a few times, but there was still no movement from the other

His confidence bolstered, step by step, he silently drew nearer Fu it, he shone the light towards Yan Wushi+ as he scrutinized him carefully The other person looked like a senior monk who had passed away in a seated position; as firhtly sealed, and not even the vivacity of the firelight could draw hihted to the point where his hands began to treitation

His martial arts could only be considered second-rate, but his judgement was excellent because his ancestors were a fae, influenced by his father and grandfather, he developed a habit of observing even the tiniest details

Everyone believed that Ruyan Kehui and Yan Wushi+ were evenly matched and felt that it was a pity the match had ended in a draever, he didn't see it that way

Even if both sides hadn't used their full strength, in a battle that had lasted frohty or ninety percent No one could doubt that In the place where they fought the fiercest, the rocks had been reduced to tiny, shattered pieces Boulders half the size of a person were turned to gravel in an instant by inner qi For a while, the rivers reversed their flow, and the trees in all directions snapped over In the face of such an overwhelrandeur, the onlookers even didn't dare to raise their internal energy in defense But seeing how for not have any injuries whatsoever?

Even if they were phenoe, they too had a day when they would die As long as they were not immortals far above the common populace, it was impossible for them to not be harmed

Ruyan Kehui and Yan Wushi+ both acted as if nothing rong, but Li Yue intuitively knew that the events had not actually been that simply concluded

With his martial arts, he couldn't catch up to the two However, when the others left, he stayed back to search the surroundings, even cli up the cliff to take a look around the top This was because earlier, when the tere fighting, there was a moment of time when they stopped on top of the mountain peak No one knehat happened in thattiht heit, but who knew that when he was just about to leave, he would find this cave here
