Chapter 55: Lian Xinyue
“Seems like that little lass is struggling against those three deserted disciples,” Elder Jing mumbled softly.
Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in surprise and asked, “Do you know Lian Xinyue by any chance?”
Although Elder Jing was an elder, he has heard rumors about Elder Jing always being alone in her courtyard, isolating herself from the rest of the sect.
Thus, Yang Wei was surprised to know that Elder Jing recognized Lian Xinyue.
Elder Jing merely smiled a little bit and said, “Before you came to do the mission that I posted in the Mission Hall, Lian Xinyue was actually the one helping me out in my alchemy.”
Yang Wei widens his eyes in surprise when he realizes this information.
Since Elder Jing said that Lian Xinyue was originally the person doing his mission then it means she was at least qualified to be a helper for Elder Jing.
“No need to be so surprised. Although she was a bit impulsive and naive in general, she was at least more decent than the others who accepted my mission thinking it would be easy.” Elder Jing said and continued.
“However, she wanted to focus on her cultivation base for this mystery realm so she decided to stop helping me. That was about the time when you entered the sect and accepted my mission.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Elder Jing finished her words, Yang Wei was too shocked to be able to reply to her.
The coincidences in here were too much and if it wasn’t for this mysterious realm, then he might never be able to figure out so many secrets.
“I understand now, Elder Jing. So are you going to save Lian Xinyue now because she’s unable to handle the fight anymore?” Yang Wei said as he glanced at Lian Xinyue fighting Xian Min.
Although Lian Xinyue’s sword skill is superb, Xian Min’s cultivation base is higher than her so she’s at the disadvantage. Xian Min’s sword skills aren’t profound but he injected it with his true qi, causing his strike to be more powerful than Lian Xinyue.
The fight was getting more intense between Lian Xinyue and Xian Min but none of the disciples from both sects had any intention of joining their fight.
It was like the fight was in an arena where they are spectators, watching the fight as they bet on who would win.
“Hmm, I’m surprised you asked if I wanted to help her out. I thought you would request me to allow you to help her out and not me.” Elder Jing said teasingly.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei tilted his head slightly in confusion. He has no relationship with Lian Xinyue so there was no reason for him to help her out.
However, Lian Xinyue has a relationship with Elder Jing, given that she was helping her out as a medicine girl.
Elder Jing was in disbelief when she saw the reaction of Yang Wei.
‘Is he really dense or pretending to be a decent man?’ Elder Jing asked inwardly and looked at Yang Wei deeply.
Her stare was like a dagger, piercing through every body parts of Yang Wei, causing him to shiver in fear for the sudden gaze.
“E-Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked stutteringly.
“What do you think of Lian Xinyue’s appearance?” Elder Jing ignored his confusion and asked him about Lian Xinyue.
Yang Wei thought for a moment before saying, “If I have to say about her appearance, she is definitely in the category of a beauty where men will flock to chase after.”
“Then why aren’t you part of the ‘men’ that will flock after her?” Elder Jing continued to pressure on the topic, rendering Yang Wei to become speechless.
Yang Wei scratched his head softly and exclaimed, “I don’t even know her so why would I flock after her?”
Hearing the innocent tone of Yang Wei, Elder Jing twitched her mouth slightly before facepalming.
“Sigh, you’re a helpless one, Yang Wei. Did you know how many attraction points you will gain if you go ahead right now and assist her?” Elder Jing said.
“But the one I love is you, Elder Jing.” Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders and replied instantly.
He held no attraction toward beauties so despite Lian Xinyue having smooth and jade-like skin, there was zero love toward her.
Elder Jing was unable to respond for a while to Yang Wei’s declaration once again as she turned her body around, avoiding his gaze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfterward, she raised her finger and pointed at Lian Xinyue. “Go and assist her. Also, stop spouting nonsense and focus on your cultivation base.”
Yang Wei heaved a helpless sigh when he was rejected indirectly by Elder Jing. Not willing to linger on the topic, Yang Wei nodded his head as he retrieved his spiritual sword in his spatial ring.
“I shall assist Lian Xinyue now.” Yang Wei said and leaped down to the ground before rushing to the fight.
“Be cautious of the Toxic Smoke that the Purple Scorpion Sect has. Their Toxic Smoke is unique as it could bypass our spiritual barrier briefly so you cannot relax your guard at all.” Elder Jing’s voice echoed to Yang Wei who continued to rush toward Lian Xinyue and Xian Min.
At the same time, Lian Xinyue was knocked backward by Xian Min who used his cultivation base as an advantage without any shame.
“Hehe, junior apprentice sister, it seems like you can no longer hold on. If you’re smart then hurry up and surrender yourself to the Purple Scorpion Sect. I promise to treat your body very well.” Xian Min said lustfully as his eye leered around each and every part of her body.
Lian Xinyue gritted her teeth in anger as she shouted, “Hmph, shameless Xian Min. Do you really think Elder Du Hanli will spare your life after our fight? You’re the most ridiculous fool I have ever seen.”
Xian Min’s expression darkens when he hears Lian Xinyue shouting that his life would not be spared.
Not willing to let her spout any more nonsense in case Elder Du Hanli truly listens to her words and kills him in the end, he smiled wickedly at Lian Xinyue.
“Sigh, it’s truly a shame to kill a beauty but you have crossed the line.” Xian Min said solemnly as he leaped forward to strike on her.
Lian Xinyue closed her eyes since her true qi has been depleted already. ‘It’s over now huh.’
CLANK!
As Lian Xinyue prepares to face her death in sadness, she is surprised to find herself still alive. Opening her eyelid slowly to see what happened, she saw an unknown man in front of her, blocking the strike from Xian Min.
“Sorry but I doubt you can kill her anymore,” Yang Wei smirked as he swung his sword to push Xian Min back.
Afterward, Yang Wei turned toward Lian Xinyue and said with a bright smile, “Fellow disciple, I’m here to assist you.”
