184 Qing Hans fury (1/2)
[That guy was nothing! I had him to myself earlier, I just needed to extend my arm and grab that Xuan Core…. And then I could have easily returned to the Silver Blizzard City…. I would have been able to achieve my target so easily! ]
[I can't believe I allowed that guy to fool me! ]
[I knew that such a feat wasn't possible… those changing Xuan Qi colors didn't make any sense… how did I get fooled by it? ]
[I'm the world's biggest idiot ah! Damn it! Damn me….. ]
Whilst the Third Elder was busy repenting and redressing his mistakes, all the other experts were nervously staring at the Solitary Eagle, afraid that in case he decided to flee from the spot with all his strength then no one would be able to catch up with him; not even Shi Chang Xiao!
Shi Chang Xiao furiously roared, and then suddenly plunged into the sky like a soaring dragon: ”Falcon! You wanted to fight me ah? Let's fight!”
Raindrops started scattering away from his body under the effect of his enormous Xuan Qi, and started crashing against the faces of the other people present!
The Solitary Eagle laughed loudly as he tucked the Xuan Core into his robes: ”Good, let's go!” he stretched out his arms like a hawk and his body started to rise up in the sky as well!
The two Peak Spirit Xuan masters had formally acknowledged their confrontation!
Fei Meng Chen, the Three Elders of the Silver Blizzard City, Shi Chang Xiao's six helpers, and Li Wu Bei's ten disciples simultaneously leaped into the sky, and flashed forward at ghostly speeds; all of them converged at one point: The Solitary Eagle!
The Solitary Eagle laughed as he roared: ”This is going to be fun!” He didn't hold anything back, 'bang', a loud explosion sounded as fragments of his Xuan Qi burst out of his body, and sent everyone scattering and flying outwards. The Solitary Eagle remained standing his ground, upright… ready for a battle!
~ The Jun Residence ~
Guan Qing Han's mind was heavy with thoughts as she walked towards her courtyard. The events of this day had been like a pipe-dream for her; her heart had felt absolute desperation and desolation at one moment, and the next moment she was left feeling happy and content.
[Although my own father abandoned me in my hour of need, but since I have such a great Uncle, and such an amazing Brother-in-law, why should I be afraid of anything? It's like Mo Xie said….. a life of shame has no meaning! ]
[Is the Xue Hun Manor really invincible? Even if they really are undefeatable…. They can only kill us….. and I won't have to worry about the complexities of this world in my death; so why should I fear death! ]
”I couldn't have imagined that he would have such a heroic spirit within him. He has proved that he is a true son of the Jun Family! And he had proved that he is Mo You's younger brother. If Mo You was here today…. Would he have made the same choice? Yes, of course… there's no doubt about it.”
Qing Han's heart wasn't feeling as uncomfortable thinking about Mo You as it used to… the pain of her heart seemed a bit… very distant now...
She was walking with her head down, and didn't realize that she was almost about to bump into a person.
A burly figure was standing in front of her courtyard's doorstep.
This man was her biological father; Guan Dong Liu!
Guan Dong Liu's clothes were drenched since he had been standing in the rain for quite a while now. Even though his face was cold, his sad eyes were enough to express the pain of his heart as he looked at his daughter, but was unable to say anything to her.
Qing Han stared back at him in silence, unable to find any words to start a conversation with, and hence this father-daughter duo stood motionlessly in the rain, caught in a strange and wordless world of their own desolation.
A bolt of lightning lit up the courtyard for a split second, revealing the traces of sadness and concern on Guan Dong Liu's face.
