The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

*Swoosh* *Swoosh*

The sound of something traversing fast through the air echoed out.

Yang Su’s robes flapped wildly as he rode on the wooden sword towards Ling Xia.

They were quite some distance away from the Faction Hall and despite Ling Xia knowing Yang Su was following her she wasn’t slowing down.

Yang Su kept on flying though, and even though this experience of using a sword to fly was new to him he still wobbly got closer and closer to Ling Xia.

“Young Miss this person is still following us, should I…”

The attendant who was flying next to Ling Xia on her platform said before pausing and then turned his head and shot a venomous glare at Yang Su.

Ling Xia's cold indifferent expression change a little but quickly recovered before she said, “No, it’s fine.”

The speed at which she was flying slowed down before coming to stop, allowing a struggling Yang Su to catch up to her.

Ling Xia turned around to face Yang Su, her expression still held a cold and indifferent demeanor, but upon seeing Yang Su she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

“Why are you following me?”

Yang Su, upon hearing Ling Xia's cold tone, only smiled and said, “I just wanted to see you. You always wear a disguise I didn't realize you were this beautiful.”

The attendant floating next to Ling Xia narrowed his eyes in displeasure at this person.

‘Who was he to be talking to the Young Miss like this?’

Responding to Yang Su’s blunt statement, Ling Xia frowned visibly before she said, “Since you’ve seen me now, then goodbye.”

Ling Xia then turned around to leave.

Yang Su upon seeing this was dumbfounded, but he hurriedly moved forward and said, “Wait! I finally reached the Sea Expansion Realm, didn’t you want a rematch?”

Seeing Yang Su being so persistent, the attendant couldn’t hold back his anger anymore and barked, “Don’t you see the Young Miss is unwilling to speak with you any further?! You trash should know your place!”

That attendant then waved his hand and a blast of frigid aura rush quickly towards Yang Su's.

Seeing this person suddenly attacking him, Yang Su paused his advance and hastily send out a punch that release a wave of Fire Qi in front of him that block the attack.

The attendant snorted and his expression became even grimmer upon seeing his attack being blocked.

He stepped forward and this time he released his early Core Formation cultivation base before he sending out a stronger palm attack towards Yang Su.

“Enough!” Ling Xia, who was hesitant to say anything before, suddenly yelled, but his attack had already been made.

A ten-meter palm projection created from ice swiftly smashed against Yang Su’s chest, and the scene of him coughing out a mouthful of blood before being knocked off the wooden sword played out.

Seeing an injured Yang Su plummeting down to his death, Ling Xia’s cold expression fell and she move to catch him.

The attendant who made the attack floated there with a frown on his face.

Yang Su’s figure fell past the clouds extremely fast, and Ling Xia quickly followed from behind.

However, upon passing the clouds, Yang Su's figure along with the wooden sword suddenly vanished to Ling Xia’s confusion.

But all of a sudden someone grabbed her hand from behind.

Ling Xia immediately turned to see Yang Su floating in the mid-air without support, his strange red hair glowing a bit more than previously.

“Y-you, how…?”

Ling Xia was shocked and was caught off guard at what she was seeing making her stutter. But without giving her any time to say anything, Yang Su tugged on her hand and pull her into his hold before flying fast away from the area.

After a couple of seconds, the Core Formation attendant from before broke through the clouds to look for Ling Xia but only saw the platform she was using to fly.

“Huh?”

He said stunned.

“Where did the Young Miss go? And where is that bastard?! Did he do something to the Young Miss?! I'll kill him!!”

The attendant eyes flared with hatred before he collected the platform and then took out a jade slip.

He was about to report Ling Xia’s disappearance, but he suddenly hesitated and a nervous expression appeared on his face.

‘If Senior brother Ling Tian found out I lost sight of the Young Miss, it might not go well for me. Dammit.’

He clenched the jade slip for a moment before he place it back into his storage ring.

‘I’ll just find the Young Miss myself, that bastard mustn’t have reached far.’

Sending out his Soul Sense, the attendant pick up faint Fire Qi fluctuations, and his eyes narrowed into slits before he shot off in pursuit of Yang Su.

However, despite only having a few seconds head-start, Yang Su was already half a kilometer away.

After a moment, he chose a random mountain and landed with Ling Xia still in his arms.

“Are you okay? I was going really fast to escape that person.” Yang Su asked with a concerned look on his face.

Ling Xia took a step back before she sighed and said, “Why did you bring me here, and why are you so persistent to talk to me? If this is about our rematch then forget about it, it was my mistake to have come to the Inner Academy and cause you trouble.”

“You didn’t cause any trouble to me, it’s fine!”

Yang Su hurriedly said, but Ling Xia frowned and responded, “If it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t have gotten attacked by my brother, and you were attacked just now, that was my fault and for that, I apologize. But you shouldn’t be here talking to me, it’ll just make the situation more complicated. The Faction Leader meeting is over so you should return to the Inner Academy.”

Ling Xia said before she turn around to leave, but Yang Su followed her and said once again, “I’m telling you it’s fine. That attack from before didn’t hurt, I was just seeing if you would… ahh…”

Yang Su’s words got stuck in his throat when he saw Ling Xia shot him an angry glare.

“So you were faking it? That means I worried for nothing. *Sigh* Just leave now, if my brother found out that you talked to me, even though he won’t cripple your foundation like before he’ll make things difficult for you in the Academy. Good bye junior brother Su.”

Ling Xia produce another small platform and was about to step on it to leave, but Yang Su grab her hand and said, “Wait, just… I…”

Yang Su seemed as if he didn’t know what to say to make Ling Xia stay and talk to him. His expression was nervous, and his heart was pounding a bit too fast.

Ling Xia sighed and turned to look back at Yang Su before she asked, “What is it? This will be the final time we speak, if you have something to tell me then just say it.”

‘I’ll accept your feelings and properly reject you.’

It wasn’t like Ling Xia was oblivious, but she just didn’t want to cruelly reject Yang Su's feelings outright, she wasn’t that type of person.

‘This is for the best, we're from two different worlds so we can’t have a relationship even if I wanted to.’

Ling Xia thought sadly in her heart.

Hearing Ling Xia’s urging, Yang Su became more nervous as he opened his mouth and said, “I...”

Yang Su suddenly met Ling Xia's hazelnut pupils, and the world around him disappeared while the words halted from leaving his lips.

“I…”

Yang Su tried saying once again, his heart was nervously pounding against his chest, and his mind raced with different thoughts, he just couldn't express how he was feeling.

Ling Xia upon seeing Yang Su just staring at her without saying anything, had her brows creased into a frown.

She was ready to open her mouth to say something, but her eyes went wide as Yang Su suddenly leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers.

The kiss lasted an awkward three seconds before Ling Xia realize what was happening and her face immediately turned beet red.

She quickly pull away from Yang Su and with her face still extremely flushed she stuttered, “Y-you, what are you doing all of a sudden?!”

Ling Xia was shocked as well as embarrassed, this was the first time someone had ever kissed her.

Seeing Ling Xia's reaction, Yang Su fidget nervously as he asked, “Was it bad? It was my first time so maybe I should try again? I...”

Yang Su didn’t finish his words before Ling Xia’s red and embarrassed expression turn frosty at his suggestion of doing it again. She then sent out her palm flying out to slam against his chest.

Yang Su flew back from the force and crashed against a tree breaking it in half.

“You pervert! Lecherer! How can you shamelessly kiss me out of nowhere and then think to do it again?! You-you…”

Ling Xia was so enraged she couldn’t finish her sentence, and instead stomped over to a groaning Yang Su and pick him up by the collar.

She then raised up her balled-up fist as if she was about to start beating him senseless.

Yang Su seeing Ling Xia going from blushing embarrassingly from his kiss to being enraged enough to want to break every bone in his body, couldn’t understand how her mood can change so drastically.

Before Ling Xia could start pummeling him, Yang Su quickly held up his hands to stop her before hurriedly saying, “No no, wait, can’t we just talk this out? I… I like you, that’s why I kissed you.”

Yang Su shyly confessed as he looked down and twiddle his two index fingers together.

"The time we spent together was short, but it was meaningful and was a first for me. So during that time I develop some feelings towards you. I just thought that if I didn't tell you I felt this way my heart might explode from the built up emotions."

Ling Xia angrily stared at him for a long time, before she lowered her fist and let him go.

Seeing that she was walking back to the platform without saying anything, Yang Su quickly got up and asked, “Wait, um… what about you? Do you like me too?”

Ling Xia placed her feet on the platform before she turned around and responded, “We can’t be together, I’m already betrothed to someone. Goodbye, junior brother Su.”

With that, Ling Xia turned around and controlled the platform to fly into the air.

Her words struck Yang Su, who had poured his heart out, like a lightning bolt. He momentarily froze in his tracks as those words echoed in his mind like thunder, and weight down on his chest like a heavy boulder.
