Chapter: 798 (1/2)

AST 798 – Di Chen and Di Qing, Bewildered

“Old Ancestor, actually, there’s no need for you to do anything about things like this.” The elderly man on the Dark Crane smiled at the old man in front.

“Hong Chang and the others are in trouble, to be able to put them in trouble without any information leaking, this just goes to show that the enemies are really formidable. We know too little about Heavenly Palace and the rumored young man. I have been having a feeling that things aren’t right.” The elderly man’s eyes slowly brightened up as he looked afar.

“Old Ancestor, don’t you think that you’re overestimating the young man and the Heavenly Palace?” The other old man chuckled.

“How far off is San Lang’s strength compared to yours? Despite this, he still got into trouble. Hong Hai, do not ever underestimate any of your opponents. Even though Zuoshi Clan isn’t like us Baima Clan if they were really eliminated by one person, that person would definitely be someone we shouldn’t underestimate because even I myself wouldn’t dare to challenge Zuoshi Clan alone.” The old man said in a calm tone without any sign of emotions in his words.

“Alright, Old Ancestor, so what’s the plan this time?” Baima Honghai looked at the old man and asked in suspicion.

“We’ll talk about it by then. There are times when fighting isn’t the best solution.” Judging from the old man’s wise expression, it could be felt that he was reminiscing about something.

……

“Qing Shui!”

When Qing Shui heard someone calling out for him, he turned around and noticed Di Qing approaching him from not so far away with a faint smile across her bewildering beautiful face. Qing Shui didn’t exactly know why but he felt a bit panicked upon seeing her.

The first time he met her was in that dreamland, a fantasyland similar to that of being in a dream among a sea of flowers except the location of the fairyland was Furniture City in Southern City. It was only after that that he knew she was the protector of Sword Tower, Sword Demon Huang Qing.

Huang Qing!

This was her pseudonym. At the time when her sister was in the Heavenly Palace, she intentionally became the guard of Sword Tower to get close to her sister. Similarly, both Qing Shui and the Sword Tower also shared conflicting views with each other at that time, hence slowly, there were some conflicts that occurred between them. Now, he became her brother-in-law.

But she never addressed him as her brother-in-law. As for the reasons why, even she herself was unclear about it.

“Miss Qing.” Qing Shui smiled

“Why are you still calling me by that? It feels so distant.” Di Qing smiled. The alluring expression she showed on her face gave her a kind of unreal beauty similar to Di Chen’s faintly discernable aura.

“Well then, why don’t you address me as your brother-in-law? In any case, everyone already knows about the relationship between your sister and I.” Qing Shui chuckled at Di Qing.

“Don’t even think about it, you must address me as Sister Qing. If you don’t like it, you can also wait until you become a famous person and a warrior who can topple over the World of the Nine Continents. Only then will I address you as my brother-in-law.” Di Qing winked and smiled.

Her smile looked graceful, indistinct and a bit cunning, looking somewhat similar to Di Chen’s complexion except the traits that they shared were really different. It was a bit inferior to Di Chen’s in terms of looking extraordinary and a bit superior in terms of possessing an elegant and noble aura.

“I’m ok with you not addressing me as your brother-in-law but don’t you think that this is a bit disrespectful to your sister?” Qing Shui couldn’t help but tease her a bit as he saw her cunning face.

As expected, Di Qing’s expression became really unnatural. She looked at Qing Shui: “Even you are forcing me, Qing Shui, even you?”

Qing Shui never thought that Di Qing would react so dramatically. In the past, she had been forced once by her dad to do so, it’s just that Qing Shui didn’t really care about this, hence he let her address him anyway she liked. Let alone she was also older than him.

“I’m just kidding, don’t take it seriously.” Qing Shui hurriedly responded.

However, Di Qing’s eyes were a bit teary and she looked a bit frustrated. This made Qing Shui panic and he hurriedly said: “Don’t cry, is me addressing you as Sister Qing not enough? People will think that I’m bullying you if you continue behaving like this.”

In actuality, Qing Shui was really not accustomed to seeing a girl frustrated. He quickly tried to comfort her. Unfortunately, he was totally not made to comfort girls, hence, he hurriedly said something out of formality.

“You bully me all the time.”

When Di Qing finished speaking, she hugged Qing Shui tightly.

Qing Shui stunned. He wasn’t actually happy that such a beautiful girl hugged him. On the contrary, he panicked. He kept both of his arms down and didn’t dare to even move an inch.

“Sister Qing, I know that I’m wrong now. Please don’t be mad. I’ll promise you whatever you want. It’ll be bad if others see this.” Qing Shui begged for mercy.

“Hrmp! It’s not like you haven’t hugged me before.” Di Qing responded grumpily. Regardless, she still let go of Qing Shui. She wasn’t really sure why she hugged Qing Shui earlier, now her face also looked really red.

During the last time Qing Shui went to Central Continent with her, he had no choice but to hug her. Not only so, he even called her a stupid woman. He didn’t know that what he did would actually leave such a deep impression in her heart.

No one had ever neglected her, nor had there been any men who dared to hug her. Furthermore, no one had ever called her a stupid woman. However, Qing Shui had done all of these before. Qing Shui didn’t do all of these to gain her attention. Of course, Di Qing wasn’t someone whose attention could be caught merely with these childish methods.

The true reason was because Qing Shui was the man that Di Chen looked up to. Added on the things which were mentioned previously also had a huge part to do with it as well as the good feelings that she had for Qing Shui. Naturally, it would pique her interest for him. In addition to that, she could feel that Qing Shui really didn’t have any place for her in his heart.

Humans were really weird. No matter what, they would often have a rebellious heart. For example, when a man met two women, these two women were really good friends. But one of the women fell for this man, so much so that she would throw away everything just to go for this man. The other woman on the other hand, she didn’t have any feelings for this man. Under this kind of circumstances, it would be very easy for the man to develop feelings for the girl who didn’t like him. This actually had a huge part to do with human psychology, to be rebellious. It might have been because those that were easy to get weren’t precious and that the one that was relatively harder to attain would forever be superior because they would never know how attaining them felt.
