As Ji Xian was engrossed in his own thoughts, Xia Lihua affectionately stared at him with a warm smile. With her spiritual sense perpetually covering his body, she was able to see his joyful appearance and this in turn also made her happy for him. She knew he had discovered something beneficial.
When Fang Yu tried to use her spiritual sense to see Ji Xians face earlier, it merely went through him, but for Xia Lihua, he allowed her to do as she pleased.
He could see just how attached to him she was getting and while he doesnt think this was healthy, he didnt mind it too much because, in truth, he was becoming the same to her as well. If she wasnt by his side, something just wouldnt feel right.
As Xia Lihua continued looking at Ji Xian, who was quietly mumbling to himself, she noticed something.
She took a couple of steps forward and brushed his messy long hair back. Then, she leaned forward to the point where her face was almost touching his and examined his eyes.
Strange, Ive never noticed it before but beyond the darkness of Ji Xians eyes theres an extremely small part of his iris thats blue no, its turquoise. It wouldve been impossible to see it without getting this close to him.
Xia Lihua smiled but didnt think too much of it. These things were rare but not exactly uncommon.
At this moment, Ji Xian blinked and he very subtly moved. The second he met Xia Lihuas dazzling silver eyes, a smile subconsciously appeared on his lips. He didnt question what she was doing, instead, he moved in even closer, leaving only a thin separation between them.
How about a kiss? He asked in a teasing tone.
Xia Lihua stared at him but didnt speak.
Seeing this, Ji Xian smiled with a hint of satisfaction before slowly backing away,
As he did, he suddenly felt a small wind and then something soft touching his lips, but due to the veil on his face, the feeling was incredibly faint.
His brows slightly raised and he momentarily blanked before looking at Xia Lihua amusingly.
Her cheeks were slightly pink. When she saw his expression, she let out a beautiful laugh.
With that, Xia Lihua cupped his face into her hands, you are mine.
She stared at him for a while before letting go and turning around.
And mine alone she muttered as she glanced at Xiao Yueyins figure in the distance.
Ji Xian gazed at Xia Lihuas back with his head slightly tilted. She had spoken so quietly towards the end that even he couldnt hear it.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and ask, Shao Qinglian suddenly flew over with Li Yifan and Fang Yu as her side.
While Ji Xian was preoccupied with improving the Inverse Flame, Shao Qinglian dismissed the Elders and finally found the time to reunite with Fang Yu.
After a few minutes of catching up, she finally found the reason for their battle.
Upon hearing the cause, she could only understandbly nod. Ji Xians appearance alone shouldve made it obvious that he wasnt a Graha, but it was hard to say nowadays.
After the war ended centuries ago, most of the Grahas left and returned to their world using the Chaos Tunnels. However, for various reasons, some of them hadnt been able to leave. These Grahas were the left behind.
At that time, with the anger of the Mortal Desolate World at its peak from the countless losses, all the sects banded together to hunt down those that was still in this world. With so many people working together and due to how visually striking the Grahas were, it was hard for them to hide. In just a year, the hunt appeared to have been successful as there were no longer any traces of them.
The people of Mortal Desolate were relieved to know the intruders were no more, yet, there was one piece of information that has been hidden from the public. This information was known only to the Sect Masters of the top ten sects, and it came directly from the Arcane Mountain.
The Graha had a way to shed their form, allowing them to blend in with humans!
In order to avoid chaos from mass speculations, this piece of news was contained. The Grahas can hide but they were no longer a threat, at least for now. Besides, it was impossible to determine who was a Graha and who wasnt so it was best not to dwell on it too much.
The Sect Masters could only keep a carefuly watch. When it comes time for them to step down, they will pass this information to the next generation.
Shao Qinglian naturally knew about this matter. Because of her trust in Fang Yu, she had once told her about it as well.
Fang Yus suspicion of Ji Xian was justified. His ability to use Nether Water as well as his questionable appearance would make anyone doubtful. But who couldve expected there exist someone who can learn and copy abilities!?
Shao Qinglian has never heard of anyone like this ever!
She shook her head,
And here I thought Yueyin was already a monstrous genius, compared to him sigh
No, wait, Yueyin is still young, in a few more years whos to say she wont be like Ji Xian and Senior Xia Lihua? They both appeared quite fond of her so Im sure theyll teach her well.
Being taught by two Pseudo Saints? How envious. I wonder if anyone of us could be so lucky.
When Shao Qinglian arrived before Ji Xian, Xiao Yueyin has also returned to his side as well.
Ji Xian, due to how fast things escalated, I wasnt able to thank you. The Ardent Yin Sect owes you a great debt.
Shao Qinglian bowed and the two women behind her copied her actions.
Ji Xian ruffled his hair and said casually, Dont worry about it, I didnt do it for free.
He glanced at Fang Yu as he spoke, she was coldly looking at him with her mouth somewhat opened, as though she had something to say.
What is it? He slightly tilt his head and asked with a chuckle.
She walked past Shao Qinglian and stopped in front of him.
Fang Yu gave Ji Xian a deep look before releasing her spiritual sense. A split second later, she withdrew it as the air around her turned colder.
Ji Xian grinned, My face is for Lihuas eyes only. If you want to know what I look like, just imagine the most perfect man, and thats me!
Behind him, Xiao Yueyin rolled her eyes, Not this nonsense again
Ive seen your appearance too
Fang Yu turned her gaze over to Xia Lihua. She didnt have a good impression of this woman. She softly snorted before looking away.
Finally, her cold expression became gentler.
She lowered her head and muttered, Thank you.
And about earlier
Ji Xian smiled and knew what she wanted to say.
Its fine. I was at fault as well. With all that you have endured, you should rest easy now.
Fang Yu shuddered, she lifted her head and gave him another look before returning to her original position.
Shao Qinglian smiled and gratefully nodded at Ji Xian, About the favor
Oh, its simple. I just want access to your library,
Our library? Shao Qinglians smile froze.
Ji Xian raised an eyebrow, Is it a problem?
Uh, no, its just
What?
Well, one of the Elders just informed me of something earlier. Apparently, a lot of sects in Mortal Desolate have reported a lot of missing treasures, Divine Arts, and cultivation methods. So upon learning of this, I temporarily sealed off the library and increased the security of the sect.
