Chapter 55: Lian Xinyue (1/2)

”Seems like that little lass is struggling against those three deserted disciples,” Elder Jing mumbled softly.

Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in surprise and asked, ”Do you know Lian Xinyue by any chance?”

Although Elder Jing was an elder, he has heard rumors about Elder Jing always being alone in her courtyard, isolating herself from the rest of the sect.

Thus, Yang Wei was surprised to know that Elder Jing recognized Lian Xinyue.

Elder Jing merely smiled a little bit and said, ”Before you came to do the mission that I posted in the Mission Hall, Lian Xinyue was actually the one helping me out in my alchemy.”

Yang Wei widens his eyes in surprise when he realizes this information.

Since Elder Jing said that Lian Xinyue was originally the person doing his mission then it means she was at least qualified to be a helper for Elder Jing.

”No need to be so surprised. Although she was a bit impulsive and naive in general, she was at least more decent than the others who accepted my mission thinking it would be easy.” Elder Jing said and continued.

”However, she wanted to focus on her cultivation base for this mystery realm so she decided to stop helping me. That was about the time when you entered the sect and accepted my mission.”

Once Elder Jing finished her words, Yang Wei was too shocked to be able to reply to her.

The coincidences in here were too much and if it wasn't for this mysterious realm, then he might never be able to figure out so many secrets.

”I understand now, Elder Jing. So are you going to save Lian Xinyue now because she's unable to handle the fight anymore?” Yang Wei said as he glanced at Lian Xinyue fighting Xian Min.

Although Lian Xinyue's sword skill is superb, Xian Min's cultivation base is higher than her so she's at the disadvantage. Xian Min's sword skills aren't profound but he injected it with his true qi, causing his strike to be more powerful than Lian Xinyue.

The fight was getting more intense between Lian Xinyue and Xian Min but none of the disciples from both sects had any intention of joining their fight.

It was like the fight was in an arena where they are spectators, watching the fight as they bet on who would win.

”Hmm, I'm surprised you asked if I wanted to help her out. I thought you would request me to allow you to help her out and not me.” Elder Jing said teasingly.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei tilted his head slightly in confusion. He has no relationship with Lian Xinyue so there was no reason for him to help her out.

However, Lian Xinyue has a relationship with Elder Jing, given that she was helping her out as a medicine girl.

Elder Jing was in disbelief when she saw the reaction of Yang Wei.

'Is he really dense or pretending to be a decent man?' Elder Jing asked inwardly and looked at Yang Wei deeply.

Her stare was like a dagger, piercing through every body parts of Yang Wei, causing him to shiver in fear for the sudden gaze.

”E-Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked stutteringly.

”What do you think of Lian Xinyue's appearance?” Elder Jing ignored his confusion and asked him about Lian Xinyue.
