Chapter 1706: Old Classmates Who Spent a Night as Husband and Wife
The storm is about to break, and the wind fills the building, while dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to destroy it!Here, it is dark and secluded!
Several Holy Mansion leaders with English faces have gathered together, each one with a serious expression, making the atmosphere at the scene quite gloomy.
In the dead silence.
A bald man supporting his chin spoke in a deep voice: "A few days ago our people discovered that the Black Emperor secretly manufactured a special machine by the seaside in South City. If there’s no mistake, that machine is likely intended to destroy the Source Stone!"
"It must be this!" said a man with a poker face angrily standing beside him: "That bastard Black Emperor is ruthless in his actions, thinking that if he destroys the Source Stone, we’ll no longer target him!"
"Damn bastard, he’d rather destroy it than hand it over to us!" another enchanting and seductive woman cursed: "The Source Stone possesses endless energy, the potential for wealth is unimaginable. He is wasting something precious!"
"We cannot let him succeed!" The bald man gritted his teeth and said, "For Black Emperor to destroy the Source Stone, it must be transported to the seaside, which is actually a rare opportunity for us!"
The seductive woman expressed doubt: "Black Emperor is insidious and cunning, could there be a trap in this?"
The poker-faced man snorted: "And what if there is a trap? That machine truly exists, and we wouldn’t retreat just because we’re worried about a trap, allowing him to destroy the Source Stone, the final target we’ve pursued for so many years?"
"Poker face is right, whether this is Black Emperor’s plot or not, we must not retreat!"
The bald man frowned and said: "What is the Zhao Family’s stance?"
The poker-faced man said: "That old thing Zhao Xunjian doesn’t trust us at all. He tells us to attack with full force while sending his son to Holy Mansion headquarters, still wary of us hiding the Source Stone after we obtain it."
"No matter what, the Zhao Family is still our friend now." The bald man said: "The most important thing at the moment is to seize the opportunity to get the Source Stone, we absolutely cannot miss this chance!"
"This is also our only chance!" The poker-faced man nodded.
"Since you’re all saying this, there’s no need to overthink it, let’s go!" The seductive woman sighed: "The seaside machine is already in place. If Black Emperor truly wants to destroy the Source Stone, he will act quickly."
"Keep monitoring Black Emperor!" The bald man said solemnly: "Their action is very likely to be tonight!"
...
Having freed herself from the entanglement of the Cold Poison, Ye Xiaoying finally began to live a normal life.
She left the dark and sunless bar room and found a relatively quiet courtyard to live alone.
Actually, she preferred the previous environment, the feeling of completely isolating herself from the world, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
But there was no way around it; now she needs to practice martial arts, and she needs a venue.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoying was practicing swordsmanship.
A snow-white treasured sword, plain and simple, but in her hand, it seemed to possess unparalleled power, with Sword Qi surging and able to cut through hair!
Sword out!
Sword in!
In the tranquility.
The Parasol Tree standing before Ye Xiaoying, as the fierce wind swept by, suddenly fell to the ground, with its trunk split like a mirror!
Who could imagine what power Ye Xiaoying’s sword held?
Perhaps, only those who died by her sword would know?
The fierce wind blew Ye Xiaoying’s silky black hair, making her feel somewhat lonely and desolate as snow in the small courtyard.
"Sigh..."
Ye Xiaoying softly sighed, amidst the sigh, mixed countless loneliness and emptiness.
In just about a month, she transformed from a dying person to a top martial artist even in the Martial Arts world, her extreme talent unleashed, yet she almost never felt happy.
Indeed, she didn’t know what to be happy about.
Though once she dreamed of eliminating the Cold Poison’s erosion, she was thrilled when the Earth Fire Lotus appeared before her.
But the result was inevitably too much of a twist of fate.
She fulfilled her wish and rid herself of the Cold Poison, regained the talent she most desired, but also lost her most yearned for... love.
Could she and Ye Xuan still develop love?
Probably not?
In his eyes, she has always just been an old classmate.
Originally she could pursue her love freely, but now she’s lost that right because she knows once she speaks, Ye Xuan surely won’t refuse her.
She doesn’t want that incident to become Ye Xuan’s burden, for him to accept something he originally didn’t want because of responsibility.
So she could only continue to pretend...
Everything depends on fate’s arrangement; if one day Ye Xuan develops feelings for her, perhaps they can have love, but if not...
There probably won’t be.
Because since returning from the Northern Federation, Ye Xuan has not sought her out even once. If he had feelings for her, how could he remain so inactive?
Ye Xiaoying lowered her beautiful eyes, her mood as gloomy and heavy as the current weather.
"Your sword-felling trees, it does have style, but it’s also quite wasteful, isn’t it? There are only so many trees, and with a few swings, this small courtyard will be devoid of greenery." At this moment, Ye Xuan’s laughter suddenly rang out.
Ye Xiaoying was stunned upon hearing the sound, instinctively, her inner joy was overwhelming.
However, she didn’t show it at all.
She raised her eyes to look, seeing Ye Xuan walking slowly towards her, Ye Xiaoying pouted and said unfriendly: "What are you doing here for no reason? I don’t have time to play with you."
She spoke like this, but inside, Ye Xiaoying desperately hoped Ye Xuan would say: I came just to find you, because I missed you.
But that obviously wouldn’t be realistic.
"Of course, I wouldn’t come looking for you for no reason, isn’t it because I coincidentally have something to discuss." Ye Xuan smiled, eyeing Ye Xiaoying twice, and said: "Your treasured sword is about to have a purpose again."
Ye Xiaoying sighed with disappointment.
Ye Xuan was stunned: "What’s wrong? When you hear I have something to ask, you don’t seem too happy?"
"If you came for no reason, I also wouldn’t be happy." Ye Xiaoying glanced at Ye Xuan and said: "Every time I see you, I get annoyed, just say it, what’s the matter?"
"You said your treasured sword is about to perform again, what else could it be but killing people?" Ye Xuan chuckled, casually sitting on the nearby swing.
Here, Ye Xiaoying’s unique fragrance still lingered, intoxicating to smell.
"Killing whom?"
Ye Xiaoying lazily said without much interest: "If it’s someone unrelated to me, don’t bother mentioning, I’m not your belonging, whether or not to sacrifice for you all depends on my mood, and coincidentally, today I don’t have that feeling."
"Is that so?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrow and said: "No matter what, we’re old classmates and even were one-night spouses. Do you have to be so heartless?"
