91 Lei XinYis Resolve (2/2)

.

”Xinyi, did you come to see me go?”

”Actually, I came to tell you that Xun Wei went back to the Black Paradise sect. Where are you going?” Lei Xinyi asked.

”It's time for me to go back to the Black Paradise sect as well.”

”Xiao Fang... why do you have to leave so soon? Can't you stay here in the Divine Sword sect? This is where you belong.”

Xiao Fang didn't immediately reply. Instead he nostalgically touched his wooden walking stick before slightly opening it up to reveal the sharp blade hidden within.

Although his grandmother had recently given him a much better sword, he still carried this one around because his good friend, Lei Xinyi, was the one that gifted it to him.

After a few moments, he unexpectedly gave it back to her.

”Xiao Fang...”

”I appreciate the gift, but I won't be needing it once I return to the Black Paradise sect.”

She refused to take it back.

”You... Those girls... they really changed you. The old Xiao Fang would never do something like this.”

”That's because the old Xiao Fang never loved anyone.”

”No one... not even me?”

Her voice and expression was calm so it didn't resemble a girl that was grieving. If it wasn't for the single teardrop that streaked down her cheek, he wouldn't have known how she felt.

Xiao Fang paused. Who was Lei Xinyi to him?

She was his first friend, first rival, and first sexual partner. For a time, there were even a few rumors going around saying that they were young lovers, and judging from how much time they spent together, that rumor wasn't far from the truth.

However, the Divine Sword sect strictly prohibited disciples from marrying the patriarch's sons or daughters. This was to deter Elders from trying to marry off their sons or daughters for a higher position in the sect.

For that reason alone, Xiao Fang could never love anybody, he could only have sex with them. This made him the sort of playboy that he is today.

”Lei Xinyi, you know how I feel about you, but you also know it can't happen.”

”I know, I just... I can't help feeling the way I do.”

She hugged him. Resting her head on his bosom.

”Don't go. Stay here with me. I promise, I'll always be good to you.”

Xiao Fang sighed.

He wasn't fond of breaking hearts, so he always tried to avoid it.

”Do you really want to be with me?” He asked.

”Mn, I do. I really do,” she looked at him with watery eyes.

”Then cultivate, train as hard as you can. If we are fated to be together, then we will meet again under different circumstances.”

After saying those words he lightly pushed her off of him.

She became even more tearful.

Xiao Fang didn't leave. Instead, he stood still waiting for her to leave first.

After taking a few steps in the opposite direction, she eventually turned back and ran up to him.

She then stood up on her tippy toes and gave him a kiss. Feeling that, Xiao Fang eventually put his hands on her waist. They both experienced the same nostalgic memories playing out from that one kiss. They used to always kiss each other in the past, but this time felt different. It was possible that they'd never see each other again.

When she finally pulled away, she began to smile. Not only that, she also had a strong sense of determination burning in her eyes. Even her voice sounded confident when she spoke:

”We'll definitely meet again.”

In the next moment, her body shifted and then disappeared.

Xiao Fang lightly smiled. He knew her character well, probably even more than her own parents. When she put her mind to something she would definitely achieve it.

”Mn, perhaps we really will.”

Inside the Patriarch's Hall.

Standing just outside of her master's door, Lei Xinyi announced her name then requested to enter.

Unexpectedly, the door opened and Wu Yue came out.

”Master,” she said as she clasped her fist and bowed her head.

Wu Yue immediately recognized the fiery look in Lei Xinyi's eyes.

Since Wu Yue didn't answer her, Lei Xinyi quickly stated her reason for coming.

”Master, this disciple has been lacking, but I'm ready to put in the extra work to meet your expectations. Please, train me to the fullest.”

Wu Yue knew the reason she was behaving this way had everything to do with Xiao Fang leaving the sect.

This was exactly the reason why she chose Lei Xinyi to be her disciple in the first place. She knew she would definitely not want to leave Xiao Fang's side and would work extremely hard to one day be with him again.

With a meaningful smirk, Wu Yue spoke.

”Very well, from today on your true training begins.”
