Chapter 512 - 511: Jiang Zuo: Greetings, Senior

Chapter 512: Chapter 511: Jiang Zuo: Greetings, Senior

Qing Lian froze. She quickly ran through a few scenarios in her mind.

’She wouldn’t even count Liyuan Island, since she hadn’t been personally involved there.’

’The same went for what happened with Chaos.’

’But the Cursed Land... that was the most terrifying. If that person hadn’t sealed the Master of Curses, would the Celestial Permanence Seven Veins still be safe and sound?’

’And Seven Emotions Island—that was even more frightening.’

’A Celestial Punishment had actually descended there.’

Qing Lian said, "Holy Sister, are you saying the male Candidacy Saintess was behind all of these incidents?"

Jingyue shook her head. "There’s no evidence to prove one person did all these things, but I’d say it’s more than likely.

If it wasn’t one person, it was two. In any case, it’s impossible that each incident was done by a different person. That would be even more terrifying."

’She was right. If a group of people this terrifying suddenly appeared, that would be truly horrifying.’

’And they had never even shown their faces.’

Jingyue didn’t say anything. Her mind went back to the beginning of it all—the incident at the Holy Land.

’The male Candidacy Saintess had fought the Silver Armor alone and destroyed the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit with his own power.’

’So, was his goal also to prevent the Forbidden Land Maiden from coming out?’

’Once she came out, would she have been the one expected to resolve all these issues?’

Jingyue sighed. ’Being a Saintess is so much trouble. Live streaming is way better.’

Jingyue then got up and walked straight out.

Qing Lian immediately called out, "Holy Sister, where are you going?"

"To look through the archives and see if any world-ending wars happened in ancient times.

And then you’re going to come and stream for me. I’m going to stream ’The Saintess Quietly Reading the Archives’," Jingyue said without looking back.

Qing Lian was exasperated. ’Why on earth does the Holy Sister like live streaming so much?’

————

As the sun was about to set, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi arrived at Chuanhe Town.

This time, Su Qi flew directly toward the Holy Land with Jiang Zuo.

This was the great thing about being able to fly.

You didn’t have to take winding paths; you could head straight for your destination.

"I’m going to see my sister and give her a big surprise," Su Qi suddenly said, sounding cheerful.

Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "A surprise? What did you do?"

Su Qi patted her chest and said, "I’m going to proudly tell my sister that her junior sister—me—has caught up to her in Cultivation. Hahaha.

The look on her face will be priceless.

It’s like this every time I come back."

Jiang Zuo’s face was blank. ’I’ve only been in Cultivation for two months, right?’

’Two months to reach Tier Three, and have I ever been proud of it?’

Looking at the direction Su Qi was flying, Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "Is this the way to Sister Jingyue’s?"

’It doesn’t look like it,’ Jiang Zuo thought. ’Su Qi and Jingyue grew up together; they should live close by.’

’But this direction is completely the opposite.’

Su Qi pointed to her face and smiled. "See? I’m hurt. I have to get it fixed."

Then she thought for a moment and added, "Though, I’ve noticed something. When I’m injured, with all these wounds, you actually perform better, even if you are a bit weak physically.

Tell me, do you have some kind of twisted fantasy?

Wow, you really are tired of the old me."

Jiang Zuo decided to ignore Su Qi. The woman was just making a scene for no reason.

’He’d just let her be.’

Then Su Qi sidled up to Jiang Zuo. "Is it because when I’m all hurt, you get some kind of thri—MMPH."

Su Qi slapped Jiang Zuo’s hand away. "Why did you muffle me again?"

Jiang Zuo ignored Su Qi. Instead, he stared ahead and said numbly, "We’re about to crash."

"Huh?" Su Qi had no idea what he was talking about.

And then...

BANG!

Su Qi’s Flying Sword crashed straight into a snow-capped mountain.

They plunged right into it as well.

Then, an avalanche began.

The two of them were instantly swallowed by the snow.

Please watch where you’re going when you fly. If you can’t, then please land.

Su Qi: "..."

Just as Jiang Zuo and his companion were triggering the avalanche, someone happened to be flying by overhead.

It was Luo Ying.

Luo Ying watched as the two people below were engulfed by the avalanche.

He finally shook his head but decided to help them out.

He had arrived very discreetly, only notifying the Holy Land after he was already there.

Only after receiving the Holy Land’s permission did he enter by himself.

It wasn’t that the Holy Land didn’t send people to greet him; Luo Ying had simply turned them down.

He didn’t like large crowds; otherwise, he wouldn’t have used Concealment just to leave his mountain.

Soon, Luo Ying landed on the snow.

Just as he landed and was about to pull the two people out from under the snow...

...the snowdrift in front of him exploded outward.

It was followed by an indignant shout, "You damn jerk, Jiang Zuo! Why didn’t you say we were about to hit a mountain? Snow got all inside my clothes! It’s freezing."

Jiang Zuo was still buried in the snow at this point, slowly climbing his way up.

"You’re the one who wasn’t looking where you were going. How is that my fault?" Jiang Zuo said, his expression blank.

’He wasn’t afraid of a little avalanche. With the Water Elemental Sister and the Fire Elemental Minion, it was no problem at all.’

But just as Jiang Zuo’s head poked out, Su Qi pressed a hand onto his shoulder. "Why don’t you just stay buried in there? Freezing to death would serve you right."

Jiang Zuo was exasperated but didn’t move in the end. After all, Su Qi’s hand was pressing down on him.

Su Qi was sitting on the ground now.

Su Qi held Jiang Zuo down with one hand while trying to get snow out of her clothes with the other. "There’s snow in my clothes," she complained. "And I’m only wearing one layer, so it got in really easily. I should’ve worn more."

Jiang Zuo said, "You could stand up and jump a few times. The snow would fall right out."

Su Qi snorted and decided to ignore Jiang Zuo.

’What kind of husband was he? Pulling a kamikaze move like that.’

’It was just like that time before. All she did was turn off the internet, and her husband retaliated by shutting off the main power for the whole house.’

’He’d just been asking for a beating in the end.’

Luo Ying, who was watching from the side, felt rather helpless. ’So they’re a young couple.’

’But since they were fine, he wouldn’t linger. He had no interest in watching their public displays of affection.’

’Besides, it wouldn’t be right to ruin their fun.’

’Anyone with eyes could see that the two of them had a very good relationship.’

’Very pure.’

But just as Luo Ying was about to leave, Su Qi suddenly stiffened. She immediately got to her feet and spoke respectfully toward Luo Ying. "Are you Senior Luo Ying from the Celestial Secret Lineage?"

Now that Su Qi was up, Jiang Zuo took the opportunity to stand as well. As for Luo Ying, he had spotted him long ago.

’Since the man wasn’t doing anything, I kept quiet. Plus, he was using Concealment, so it would have been rude to let on that I’d noticed.’

’But Su Qi had somehow noticed him too. A prodigy was a prodigy, after all.’

Luo Ying was also surprised; he had been using Concealment the entire time.

’Even if he had intervened to save them, he hadn’t planned on revealing himself. He had intended to leave right after.’

’What’s more, his Concealment was a special type. While not incredibly powerful, those at Tier Three or Tier Four shouldn’t be able to see through it, right?’

’How did this person see through it?’

’The Holy Land has someone this powerful?’

Then he noticed that Su Qi was only Tier Three. ’Sword Flight at Tier Three?’

’Isn’t that a privilege of the Sword Cultivation Lineage?’

Since he had been seen and the other party had greeted him, Luo Ying had no choice but to reveal himself. "Mm," he acknowledged.

Su Qi immediately bowed her head. "This junior, Holy Land Disciple Jiu Xi, pays her respects to you, Senior."

Then Su Qi reached over and pinched the small of Jiang Zuo’s back. The meaning was clear: ’Greet the senior, now.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t argue, simply clasping his hands in a fist-and-palm salute. "Greetings, Senior."

Su Qi immediately explained, "He is my Dual Cultivation Companion. He doesn’t have much contact with the Cultivation Realm, so please forgive his impoliteness, Senior."

Luo Ying wasn’t particularly bothered, but it was true that the man lacked courtesy.

Then Luo Ying sized Jiang Zuo up carefully. With just that one glance, Luo Ying felt his world about to collapse.
