295 Luo Qinghans departure (1/2)

”Seventh Brother, I've come to find you this time to ask you to use the connections you have with the Lightning Sword Sect to get your contact to monitor Zhou Donghuang's actions... Once it is confirmed that he has left the Lightning Sword Sect, we can send someone to murder him!”

Qi Rui spoke in a harsh tone. ”Not only did he disregard me personally, indirectly, but he also disregarded the Qi Dynasty, and this cannot be tolerated!

”Furthermore, it is clear that he has no intention to join the Qi Dynasty. Who knows if he intends to join the Guangling Academy? The Guangling Academy is our Qi Dynasty's direct nemesis, and we cannot allow the Guangling Academy to take him in!

”Since the Qi Dynasty can't have him, let's destroy him!”

Qi Rui spoke with a forceful tone, and it sounded as if he had a huge grudge against Zhou Donghuang.

However, after hearing Qi Rui's words, Qi Feng maintained his neutral expression and spoke casually in reply. ”Little brother, could it be that in extending your invitation, you were not sincere enough and rushed him for a decision? True talents are often arrogant and hard to sway.”

Qi Feng himself was talented and could have been considered one of the most outstanding princes of the Qi Dynasty. Naturally, he had assumed that Zhou Donghuang of the Lightning Sword Sect would similarly possess the same high level of arrogance.

”Seventh Brother, you weren't present then. If not, I can guarantee that you would have wanted to give him a slap as well!” Qi Rui said.

”Whether or not we should kill him is not something we should decide now... You have not shared this news with Father, right?” Qi Feng asked.

”No.” Qi Rui shook his head. ”I only returned recently with Uncle Chu Wei. According to him, this matter should be reported to Father by you.”

”Ah, he is obliging indeed.”

Qi Feng smiled lightly. ”Alright, this matter does not concern you any further. I will share this news with Father now. Afterwards, I will probably pay the Lightning Sword Sect a visit and extend a personal invitation to Zhou Donghuang to visit the Qi Dynasty.”

”What if he rejects the offer yet again?”

Qi Rui was doubtful that Zhou Donghuang would change his mind and join the Qi Dynasty.

”If he rejects my offer, well... As per what you said earlier, for what we can't possess, we will destroy so as not to create complications for ourselves in the future.”

Once Qi Feng had spoken, a look of murderous intent entered his eyes.

…

It was late at night.

Under the moonlight, an unsuspecting guest suddenly appeared at the galaxy teleporter on the outskirts of the Jihan Sect.

”It's time to leave.”

This girl was no ordinary figure; she was a disciple of the Jihan Sect, Luo Qinghan.

With yet another request for teleportation, Luo Qinghan's consciousness slowly drifted... Many years ago, she had used this same method and ended up on the Ziyun planet. Afterwards, she had a fateful encounter with the young man called Zhou Donghuang.

In her eyes, that had been a fateful encounter.

She had assumed that after she left the Ziyun planet and returned home, she would never meet Zhou Donghuang again.

However, not only had Zhou Donghuang appeared before her very eyes yet again, he had even gifted her father and grandmother with many presents... Those favors were things that she could probably never repay him for even with her entire life.

A good lady deserved a gentleman, and this outstanding young man had naturally captured Luo Qinghan's girlish heart.

Had she been moved by Zhou Donghuang?

It was undeniable to Luo Qinghan that she indeed had been moved by him.

”Perhaps, it is hard for us to meet again... but again, perhaps, we will meet in the future. I hoped that I would have caught up to you by now. If there really is such a fateful day in the future, perhaps I will be less indecisive at that point.

”The promise I, Luo Qinghan, made to you, I will never forget... Be it whether you are alive or dead, even if any other outstanding young men appear before me, I will not engage in any romantic relations with them.”

As she spoke softly to herself, a white figure suitably appeared in Luo Qinghan's brain.

This figure in white was almost identical to Zhou Donghuang. However, the figure had on a mask, and his face was hidden, and it was thus hard to ascertain his identity.

This was Zhuge Haotian.

Whoosh!

Once the galaxy teleporter cast out a blinding flash of light, Luo Qinghan's figure immediately disappeared, and it was as if she had never visited the teleporter.

A short while after Luo Qinghan had left, within the Jihan Sect, some disciples eventually found the message she had left behind, and the news of her departure also spread to the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping's ears, within a short period of time.

Within the Jihan Sect, although Luo Qinghan was considered to have rather decent abilities, due to the fact that there were many other outstanding individuals, she was not the most popular and could only be considered one of the slightly above average disciples.

If someone of her level left the sect without any prior notice, the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping, would not have cared much, and others would not have bothered to notify her as well.

However, it was different in the case of Luo Qinghan.

Although Luo Qinghan's martial arts skills were average, and it was unlikely that she would be immensely successful, the issue was that she was in a relationship with the talented disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang!

If Luo Qinghan remained in the Jihan Sect, the Jihan Sect would be considered one of her homes, and any of Zhou Donghuang's future successes would be attributed to not just the Lightning Sword Sect but also the Jihan Sect!

Now, however, Luo Qinghan had left without any notice and had only left a letter behind.
