These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

But the man's gaze vanished in an instant, and it was unclear whether he had even seen her.

At this moment, Jiang Yuqi, who was standing next to him, said with a smile, "Do you know who these people are?"

"Who is it? They're dressed so flamboyantly, but they really are beautiful. And the clothes these women wear are so gorgeous... I'm so envious."

"I can't believe it," Qin Xiaoman asked eagerly.

Xu Qingtan kept her head down the whole time, because she was worried that if she looked up, people would see her unusual emotions, which was obviously abnormal at this time.

Jiang Yuqi said with a smile, "I heard from our master today that these people came specifically from the Yihua Palace in Beixuan Prefecture. It is said that they have important matters to discuss with our sect."

"Something big? What's so big?"

"I asked curiously," Qin Xiaoman asked.

Jiang Yuqi shook his head, "I don't know about that, but recently the only major event concerning the sect seems to be that trial in Nan Jian Prefecture, right? Maybe it's related to that?"

"What does the trial in Nan Jian Prefecture have to do with Bei Xuan Prefecture? You're just guessing, don't you think so, Brother Xu? Hmm? Brother Xu?"

When Xu Qingtan came to his senses after his sleeve was tugged, Qin Xiaoman and Jiang Yuqi both looked at him curiously.

"What's wrong? You seem to be spacing out?"

Xu Qing shook his head and immediately composed himself.

"It's nothing, I'm probably just too tired from cultivating lately..."

"Oh. Young Master Xu is indeed very diligent in his cultivation. He should remember to rest."

"Okay... By the way, I have something to do, so I'll have to talk to you guys later."

"Oh? Okay then..."

Watching Xu Qingtan walk away.

Jiang Yuqi and Qin Xiaoman exchanged a glance.

"Brother Xu seems a bit strange."

Jiang Yuqi is very easygoing.

"He's been wondering about this for a long time, just like the weather. If it's always sunny, but one day it's overcast, do you still try to find out why?"

"That seems to make sense..."

Xu Qing was unable to calm down for a long time after leaving.

To be honest, she didn't care what important matter these people had that led them to the Yuanjian Sect, since none of these important matters would affect her.

However... there are some things she has to care about.

For example, the man holding a folding fan.

She had considered meeting this man someday, but she hadn't expected it to happen so soon...

Moreover, she had a feeling that the other party had already discovered her, which was not a good sign.

But sitting idly by and waiting for death has never been Xu Qingtan's style. On the contrary, she needs to know whether he has already discovered her.

The people from Yihua Palace arrived quickly and left just as quickly, without staying at Yuanjian Sect for very long.

Around dusk, I quietly left the newly renovated Baoguang Hall.

Yuan Wei and others saw them off as the new snow fell.

"There's no need for the sect leader and Elder Yuan to see me off. And this young master Wei, we really regret not meeting sooner. Your words have truly enlightened me."

Wei Tu, dressed in white, smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Young Master Ji, please remember to send a few sets of clothes next time. These clothes are really beautiful."

"Hahahahaha..."

Right next to these people, in the hidden mountain forest.

A figure appeared and disappeared in the twilight.

After watching the two couples part ways at the entrance, the people from Yihua Palace strolled down the mountain path.

The sunlight lengthened their shadows.

Xu Qing didn't rush after them. He waited for a while before carefully traversing the nearby mountain path.

Until they came to a fork in the road, they could clearly see the group of people leaving.

She was about to follow when she suddenly caught sight of something hanging on the treetop not far away.

The white color was so conspicuous that it was impossible not to notice it; had it always been there... or...?

Xu Qing took off the white cloth strip and found a line of words clearly written on it.

[After three miles, we'll meet by the stream.]

"That bastard..."

Xu Qing held the strip of cloth in her palm. She knew that the other party had indeed discovered her.

In other words, my previous tracking was indeed meaningless... no, it was still meaningful. Three miles wasn't too far, and it was still within the jurisdiction of the Yuanjian Sect, so he wouldn't dare to do anything to me.

Moreover, the two sides have now established such a foundation for cooperation.

I definitely have to go.

must……

Xu Qingtan quickly made up his mind, and after three miles...

A distance that wasn't very long.

By a stream, Xu Qingtan saw a figure from behind. The figure was squatting by the stream, scooping up water and gently washing his hands, seemingly oblivious to what was behind him.

At this very moment.

Ji Xiangwan raised her head and chuckled as she waved her hand.

"Qing Tan, you're still scared? If you just stab me in now, you won't have any worries anymore, will you?"

Behind Ji Xiangwan.

Xu Qingtan's sword tip pressed against his back.

Xu Qingtan frowned and remained silent.

Ji Xiangwan slowly stood up without turning around, seemingly gazing at the sunset on the opposite bank across the stream.

"Oh...maybe it's not fear, but reluctance? After all, in a way, you are mine, aren't you?"

"..."

An uncontrollable rage flashed in Xu Qingtan's eyes, as if he wanted to stab the other person in the back.

But in an instant.

"boom!"

Ji Xiangwan turned around and gently raised her folding fan.

Xu Qingtan's sword flew into the sky and then landed in the stream.

Xu Qingtan staggered back a couple of steps, but raised his head, his narrowed eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Ji Xiangwan.

Ji Xiangwan looked at the girl with a very complex, gentle, yet seemingly tyrannical gaze.

"I've already said... you could have just waited for me peacefully in the mortal realm for a few years. Why did you have to come to the Immortal Continent? Did you come here to find me?"

Ji Xiangwan took a step forward, and Xu Qingtan took a step back.

I'm here to kill you!

She clenched her teeth and almost forced out an angry sound from her throat.

A hint of pity appeared in Ji Xiangwan's eyes, and he opened his folding fan and gently waved it.

Then he shook his head.

"No, how could you kill me? Didn't I tell you? I think I did!"

Suddenly, Ji Xiangwan stepped forward and grabbed the girl's arm.

His eyes turned ferocious.

Looking closely at this girl with snow-white skin, but eyes filled with hatred.

Her body was trembling; she was resisting his approach.

Ji Xiangwan laughed, as if the other person's instinctive fear of him gave him great satisfaction.

"You seem to hate me... Why do you hate me, Xu Qingtan? I've been so good to you, bringing you to my mansion, feeding you well, practically treating you like royalty... What have I done to you? I only asked you to wait for me for a few years, why are you so disobedient... Xu Qingtan, why are you so disobedient!"

Ji Xiangwan approached Xu Qingtan step by step. Xu Qingtan struggled and retreated, but it seemed that he, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, had no way to resist the opponent's strength.

She knew how terrifying this man's talent was, and that was why she resolutely embarked on such a desperate path.

"Let me go! You're not even human! How dare you ask me why I hate you... Don't you know how you brought me to your mansion? Don't you know how my parents died?! You're not human, you're a demon!"

Ji Xiangwan pressed forward step by step until the girl's back was against a large tree, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

He looked at the girl's face.

"They deserved to die, what does it have to do with me? I just want to have you, Xu Qingtan. I've told you before, you're mine. This was decided in our past life. If you don't agree, you'll be punished by heaven. I'm saving you, you know?"

His hand seemed to be moving towards the girl, as if he wanted to stroke her face.

But he found that Xu Qingtan was staring straight at him, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

It looked as if it was about to spew out flames.

It burned itself fiercely.

"I'd rather die than be yours. But as long as I live, I'll work day and night to kill you."

Ji Xiangwan smiled.

"I'm at the Dragon Slayer Realm, and you're only at the Foundation Establishment Realm... How are you going to kill me? I have a suggestion: why don't you come back with me? That way, you'll have a chance to kill me every night, right?" PS: Please vote!! Can we reach 1000 votes today?! There will be an extra chapter!!
