Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Xie Xiaoyi pondered for a moment, then looked up at Yun Jianxue: "Yun Qianxun... how did you know I was Xie Xiaoyi?"

Yun Jianxue looked down at Yun Qianxun in her arms:

"After learning the Great Soul-Searching Hand, Qianxun absorbed the souls of no less than a hundred people in order to improve her cultivation by leaps and bounds."

Those people included both innocent and wicked individuals; all were annihilated, their souls and spirits refining them into nourishment for her cultivation. Dong Yin was one of them.

Xie Xiaoyi was shocked: "Dongyin is dead?"

Yun Jianxue nodded: "In order to save his life, he told Qianxun everything she asked, including Xie Mo from the Hidden Dragon List, who is Xie Xiaoyi."

At this point, Yun Jianxue fell into memories.

At that time, Dongyin was forcing a girl to kneel on a barren rock in the forest. Her hands were tied behind her back, and she was crying and struggling with her clothes in disarray.

That scene reminded me of my miserable past!

When Dongyin saw me standing not far away, he thought he had seen a ghost. He didn't believe that the person he had raped and then kicked off the cliff could have survived.

Qianxun subdued him with a single move, and he was so frightened that he spilled all the secrets of Heaven and Earth, including that Xie Mo was actually Xie Xiaoyi.

Chihiro was stunned at the time, her face full of disbelief, as if she had heard the most impossible thing.

She frantically used her powerful soul-searching hand to seize Dong Yin's soul and tear it apart. He screamed in agony, unable to live or die...

That felt so good!

Chihiro spared his life so that I could personally draw my sword and kill him, thus avenging him.

I kept stabbing him, sword after sword, until he finally breathed his last. I kept stabbing and stabbing...

Later, Chihiro hugged me from behind and said that he was dead. I froze and slowly withdrew my hands.

"I see!"

Xie Xiaoyi's words interrupted her reminiscence. Yun Jianxue glanced at him and saw him shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

"It seems that in addition to Lingxiao Palace, Tianba Blade Sect, Hanhai Sword, and Heaven and Earth, Kunlun Heavenly Sword Sect will soon be added to the list of people who want to kill me."

This is really troublesome! Also, how did you find this place in the East China Sea?

Yun Jianxue looked at Xie Xiaoyi and saw the helplessness on his face. A thought stirred in her heart: she hadn't expected this lecherous thief to be so handsome.

Suddenly meeting his questioning gaze, her face flushed slightly, and she replied:

"The duel between Yue Xiaoshen and Xie Lingyun caused a sensation in the martial arts world. It was said that after the duel, Xie Lingyun left behind a young man named Xie Mo."

Someone recognized the young man, saying he was Xie Mo, ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon List of the World Society...

Qianxun and I came to the East Sea, and she recognized you at a glance. However, you were accompanied by Xie Lingyun, so we could only watch from afar. Only today did we have the opportunity.

Xie Xiaoyi understood.

Knew it!

People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat!

My true identity is known only to the people of Heaven and Earth, but my identity as Xie Mo is famous within the World Society.

It doesn't seem too difficult for the two clues to come together and be discovered by the members of "Heaven on Earth".

Thank goodness my aunt didn't come with me to practice swordsmanship today, otherwise my identity as a notorious womanizer would probably have been exposed.

Xie Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of joy. He looked up at Yun Jianxue and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

Yun Jianxue was stunned: "You...you'll let Qianxun go, and let us go?"

Xie Xiaoyi's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly, "I had no intention of killing her. Otherwise, why would I have saved her?"

Yun Jianxue clenched her fists, her voice strained: "Then why... why did you bully her back then?"

Xie Xiaoyi shook his head and sighed:

"It's true that I bullied her, but would you believe me if I said I went berserk at the time?"

"Of course I don't believe it!" Yun Jianxue suddenly raised her eyes and glared at him. "You are a minor B among the Five Evils. You say that bullying Qianxun is going into a state of demonic possession?"

And what about when you bully other women? Are you going crazy with lust all the time?

Xie Xiaoyi was dumbfounded.

What she said makes a lot of sense. Aside from feeling guilty towards Yun Qianxun...

It seems that in the past, forcing anyone was always done in a logical, natural, reasonable, and inevitable way, and things would eventually fall into place.

Forget it, I don't want to.

"Take her away. Her inner energy has been severely depleted this time, and she won't be able to seek revenge against me anytime soon. Besides, if I had a sword..."

She's no match for me. If you can, please persuade her not to come again. I don't want to hurt her, much less kill her.

Yun Jianxue was shocked; she hadn't expected him to say such a thing.

This man had handsome features and stood there like a clean-cut young man.

He doesn't look like a wicked person at all, but ironically, he is Xiao Yi, the leader of the Five Evils.

Yun Jianxue didn't say anything more. She held the unconscious Yun Qianxun tighter in her arms, jumped off the reef, and turned to leave slowly.

Xie Xiaoyi watched her limping figure and thought to himself:

"Yun Jianxue was indeed a stunning beauty, with clear, bright eyes and a slender figure. It's a pity that she was ruined and crippled by that beast Dong Yin! What a shame!"

He instinctively raised his voice and shouted, "Yun Jianxue!"

Did he change his mind?

Yun Jianxue paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xie Xiaoyi remained calm and said in a light tone, "If I have the chance, I'd like to heal your leg."

Yun Jianxue raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "What is this? A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken?"

Xie Xiaoyi smiled slightly: "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Even the fiercest wild beast has a shred of compassion'?"

Yun Jianxue gave him a cold laugh: "So you admit you're worse than a beast?"

Xie Xiaoyi rolled her eyes, her tone entirely self-deprecating:

"Yes, I am a beast. Only a beast would think of healing your leg. Never mind, good intentions will only get you struck by lightning. Forget what I said."

Yun Jianxue was stunned, her face expressionless, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Her figure gradually disappeared at the edge of the coastline. Xie Xiaoyi withdrew his gaze and did not linger any longer.

He leaped into the sea and swam towards the direction where Yun Qianxun had knocked Guan Canghai down with a single palm strike.

After groping around on the seabed for a while, he found the long sword in his hand.

He carried Guan Canghai on his back and then casually caught a large, fat fish in the sea.

Once ashore, carrying the fish in one hand, he walked towards Fuyu Mountain.

He carried the large fish into the courtyard of Wanghailu, casually tossed it into the kitchen with a swift and decisive motion.

Just as he turned around, Xie Lingyun slowly walked out of his room, looking at him calmly.

Their eyes met, and before Xie Xiaoyi could speak, Xie Lingyun's gaze shifted slightly downwards, landing on the bloodied web of his right hand:

Are you injured?

Xie Xiaoyi didn't dare to tell the truth and gave an awkward laugh: "Auntie, the waves were big today, and I accidentally hurt my hand."

"How high of a wave would it take to injure your physique, which is at the ninth rank of the Vajra Realm?"

"It must be about three or four stories high. Luckily, our house isn't by the sea, or the waves would have swept right up to our house!"
