279 Zhuge Haotian (2/2)

So, he had chosen to show himself as a stranger. He had also deliberately let two Tiansong Sect disciples go with the intention that they would notify the Sect Leader after the conclusion of the Alliance Hunt.

As for the situation now, the two of them were completely powerless at the moment even if they wanted to notify the Sect Leader.

This was because before the Alliance Hunt ended, the formation that covered the Guiyao planet would restrain the Alliance disciples inside from leaving. This was also to prevent the Alliance disciples from giving up halfway. At the same time, it cut off any communication between the Alliance disciples and the outside world.

Since the purpose of the Alliance Hunt was to train the Alliance disciples from various sects, of course it had to simulate an absolute danger zone.

The other reason Zhou Donghuang had worn the devil mask was to help Luo Qinghan and to go so far as to impart high-level techniques to Luo Qinghan… Given Luo Qinghan's temperament, he truly did not know how to persuade her and had no choice but to use this method.

She was not willing to accept the techniques given to her by Zhou Donghuang, but that did not mean that the was not willing to accept the techniques given to her by Zhuge Haotian.

As regards the name ”Zhuge Haotian,” Zhou Donghuang had come up with it using the names of his biological parents… The name of his biological father was 'Zhou Haotian' while the name of his biological mother was ”Zhuge Jing.”

With Zhou Donghuang, who had assumed the name Zhuge Haotian, by her side to assist her, things also became much easier for Luo Qinghan thereafter. Every single beast they met on the way was easily killed.

”Sir Zhuge, I only want the heads of beasts at the early Dharma Stage and mid Dharma Stage… As for the corpses of other beasts, you can keep them for yourself,” Luo Qinghan said.

However, Zhou Donghuang only kept the corpses of ultimate Dharma beasts. He could not be bothered to keep the corpses of the remaining beasts. Under such circumstances, Luo Qinghan had no choice but to store them away reluctantly.

Of course, she knew that even if she stored the corpses of late Dharma beasts, she had no way of using them to accumulate points.

Because she did not have the ability to defeat late Dharma beasts.

On the other hand, she could defeat and kill mid Dharma beasts albeit with difficulty.

”The resemblance is too strong.”

Throughout their journey, Luo Qinghan realized that the physical build of the white-robed youth in front of her looked way too similar to that man's build. It was to the extent that she frequently had the misperception that he was none other than that man.

However, each time she saw the Flying Beast Dharma Power that he displayed, she was jolted awake from a dream: He was not that man.

His name was Zhuge Haotian, not Zhou Donghuang.

Over the course of the entire month, without knowing Zhou Donghuang's true identity, she was constantly with him day and night. No matter how she consciously tried to control herself, when faced with such an outstanding and handsome young man, who also cared for her so meticulously, she could not help but feel a growing affection for him.

Of course, she buried this growing affection deep in her heart.

From beginning to end, she kept in mind that even if she, Luo Qinghan, wanted to look for a man, it could only be that man in this lifetime.

It was impossible for her to get together with any other man.

No matter how outstanding he was, even if he was more outstanding than that man, it would be the same.

”We will have to go our separate ways tomorrow.”

Zhou Donghuang looked at Luo Qinghan and sighed. His voice remained low and hoarse. ”As for me, I also plan to leave the Guiyao planet after you guys leave. I may even leave this Hengliu galaxy.”

Although she had mentally prepared herself for this long ago, Luo Qinghan could not stop her heart from trembling slightly upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words. A hint of reluctance flashed in the depths of her eyes before vanishing.

”Will we… meet again?”

Luo Qinghan also sighed.

”Perhaps.”

Zhou Donghuang smiled. Following this, he shot out a space ring in an instant. ”Before we part, I have a present for you… My only request is that you feed it a drop of your blood and become its owner after we part and examine the things inside.”

”Sir Zhuge, you've helped me way too much… I can't accept this present no matter what.”

Luo Qinghan shook her head insistently.

Over the past month, the deeper her interactions with him, the clearer it became to her how frightening the youth before her was.

The time spent by the youth before her in giving her pointers was far less than ten percent of the time spent by her maternal grandmother in doing the same. But it was much more helpful to her than the pointers given by her maternal grandmother. It had a profound and long-lasting impact that made her feel somewhat enlightened.

She had already guessed that this Sir Zhuge in front of her probably had a very powerful background, to the point where he could even stand at the apex of the boundless universe.

”This present… may be an opportunity for us to meet in the future. Are you sure that you won't accept it?”

Zhou Donghuang glanced meaningfully at Luo Qinghan. His deep gaze caused Luo Qinghan's heart to tremble. She felt even more hesitant… Should she accept it or not?

If she did not accept it, she may never meet the person before her again.

If she accepted it, there was hope that they would meet again.

In the end, another white figure flashed across Luo Qinghan's mind. His handsome face also flashed across her mind, causing her gaze to become incomparably resolute. ”Sir Zhuge, I still can't accept this.”

At this moment, Luo Qinghan had not noticed the hint of relief that appeared in the depths of the eyes of the white-robed youth before her who went by the name of Zhuge Haotian.

”Since you won't accept it, I'll let it fall to the earth and wait for its destined owner.”

Zhou Donghuang flicked his fingers and sent the space ring floating in front of Luo Qinghan. Immediately following this, his Flying Beast Dharma Power appeared again with a sway of his body. As if his entire body had transformed into a flying beast, he flapped his wings and flew off as fast as lightning. He vanished from Luo Qinghan's sight in the blink of an eye.

There was a distracted look in Luo Qinghan's eyes as she watched the space ring in front of her fall slowly as it lost the inner Yuan which it relied on. Then, she sighed and ultimately reached out her hand to receive the ring with reluctance on her face.

”I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you… If I see you in the future, I will keep you at arm's length too. Someone else has already left his mark on my body for the rest of my life.

”I will either get together with him… or end up all alone.”
