1421 Were Even! (1/2)

”Heh, heh, heh,” Xuanyuan Wanrong laughed scornfully and stared at Xu Que, the coldness in her eyes seeming to threaten him.

”Your request, that I won't harm you, is that meant to humiliate me?” She shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Xu Que laughed lightly and made a carefree gesture, ”I'm not that kind of person.”

”What kind of person are you?” Xuanyuan Wanrong's bitter smile vanished, and her expression became serious. ”You're someone who is 200 years younger than I am, and yet you still dare to pretend to be my senior? This is evil, stupid, and childish.”

As she spoke, her face was filled with disgust and she rose to her feet.

Xu Que touched his nose with an embarrassed gesture and said, ”Don't be too eager to scold me. I had good intentions. Let's do this: I'll ask you a question, and if it isn't your grandfather who appears, but your parents who appear...”

”How dare you,” Xuanyuan Wanrong answered in a stern voice. A majestic death aura swirled out of her and exploded toward Xu Que.

PING!

A loud noise rang out. Xu Que's whole body flew up in the air and slammed through the door of the inn, falling heavily on the street outside.

The entire street, which was paved with green stone slabs, cracked on the spot. Xu Que's mouth filled with blood, and he looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong in shock.

”I'm warning you, just because you have the Heavenly Book of Taiyi doesn't mean you can be presumptuous to me,” Xuanyuan Wanrong said in a low voice as she slowly walked out of the inn, staring icily at Xu Que.

Following which, she threw a bottle of elixirs to him and made as if to leave.

”Wait a minute,” Xu Que shouted.

Xuanyuan Wanrong paused and coldly turned around.

Xu Que had already stood up and wiped the dust off his body. Simultaneously, he'd shifted his state of mind and taken out the Firestorm Wheels from the System.

Once the Firestorm Wheels appeared, the two spirits inside started to move restlessly and soon they rushed out frenziedly and landed in front of Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Xuanyuan Wanrong's facial expression changed. She took a step back, and, at the same time, raised her arm in preparation to attack.

But the next moment, her entire body froze.

”This breath of blood...” she muttered in a low voice, her lips gently trembling, unable to believe the sight of the two spirits in front of her.

”If I didn't guess wrong, these two seniors are probably your parents. When I came upon them, my body had your replica, and they wrongly mistook it as you. Hence, they treated me as their child and wanted to follow me no matter what, so I could only keep them in my celestial artifact to protect them.”

Xu Que calmly explained what had happened, gazing toward Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Xuanyuan Wanrong remained silent, as if she still had not recovered from the shock.

After he'd finished speaking, Xu Que placed the storage ring and the Firestorm Wheels on the ground.

”You...where did you find them?” Xuanyuan Wanrong finally spoke, and her voice trembled.

”I found them in the Heaven Palace Academy, at the ancestral tomb on the mountain in back, which is also the address of the previous Heaven Palace ancestral tomb,” Xu Que said in a casual fashion as he got ready to leave.

But before taking two steps, he stopped again. With his back facing Xuanyuan Wanrong, he said, ”Oh right. By the way, let me explain myself. Just now I pretended to be your grandfather only as a joke. I just wanted to let you have a slight buffer period so that this wouldn't be too sudden.”

”Now that I have returned your parents' spirits to you, we're now even. We don't

owe each other anything. I'm not in your Xuanyuan clan, so regarding the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, I'll find a way to resolve this Hopefully, there won't be any issues in the future, so let's minimize our dealings with each other.”

”Take along the elixirs,” Xuanyuan Wanrong chirped, dipping her head to look at the elixirs on the ground.

”No need.”

Xu Que continued to walk forward. With a PA sound, his foot stepped on the elixir bottle, and the entire bottle split open. The elixirs inside were crushed.

”You...” Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned, opening her mouth to say something.

Xu Que abruptly turned around and said coldly, ”I already said, in the future, we won't owe each other anything. You injured me just now, but I've acknowledged this already. After all, I made use of your parents' spirits to kill others. Now I've paid it back to you, but...”

Xu Que smiled, and coldness flickered in his eyes as he said, ”From today onward, if you dare to touch me or the people around me even just a little, I won't leave it alone. Trust me, even now, I have the capabilities to kill you. Don't think that being a deity or a Celestial Emperor is something extraordinary.” As he spoke, Xu Que wiped away the blood from his mouth, turned around, and strode away.
