Chapter 421: Yet Another Great Thousand-Mile Chase
“Hmph. When you guys wanted to frame me earlier on, why did you not show mercy to me?” asked Ye Qianhe with a sneer. Although Ye Qianhe was confronting Ren Youran and his men, his mind still kept its focus on Ling Chuxi. If Ling Chuxi had the slightest intention to escape, he immediately cast a glance at her from the corner of his eye. Ling Chuxi secretly cursed in her heart. ‘This guy is really such an old fox.’ It was better for Ling Chuxi not to escape at this moment anyway. If she provoked Ye Qianhe, and he turned his fury on her in his humiliation and joined forces with Ren Youran to deal with her, she would really be finished.
“Senior, truth be told, Da Changfeng of Wu Feng Hall is also a disciple of your sect. I beg you, for the sake of saving Da Changfeng face, to let me off the hook.” There was not even the slightest ounce of arrogance left in Ren Youran’s body as he begged for mercy while drenched in cold sweat.
Ye Qianhe wore an uncertain expression on his face as he thought about the matter for a while.
“Hmph. Fine. I will spare your lives this time for the sake of Da Changfeng’s reputation at Wu Feng Hall. But if there is a next time, I will definitely make sure there is nothing left of your corpses and even your bones. Get lost!” shouted Ye Qianhe in a deep voice.
“Many thanks, Senior. Many thanks.” Ren Youran and his men were overjoyed and thanked Ye Qianhe continuously. They were fearful that Ye Qianhe might change his mind and so they ran away quickly like dogs who had just lost their homes with their tails tucked between their legs.
As she saw the Wu Feng Hall men running away in dejection, Ling Chuxi did not even feel the slightest bit of fortune. She had escaped from the wolf’s den and was now reentering the tiger’s mouth again! Life, how could it be so charming! Ah, ptui! That wasn’t right at all. Life was so full of misfortune instead! Those who heard about it would be sad and those who saw it would shed tears.
“Ling Chuxi. You have already seen the prestige of the Heavenly Star Sect, right? Acknowledge me as your master and you too will become an outer disciple of the sect. Then you will be able to roam each country in the mainland freely at your own will. Even emperors and old men will be reverent and respectful towards you when they see you.” Ye Qianhe was more and more reluctant to kill Ling Chuxi upon seeing her talent. He pondered in his heart, ‘If Ling Chuxi could be brought into the sect, it would be counted as a great contribution to the Heavenly Star Sect’. It would definitely result in his status in the sect rising like a boat during high tide too.
Ling Chuxi paid close attention to the words “you too” in Ye Qianhe’s speech. After all the troubles of this day, it turns out that Ye Qianhe was merely just an outer disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect. Although he was just an outer disciple, even the emperor of Nan Xia Country would rather bend unyieldingly to him, and the domineering Wu Sheng Hall of Ding Lin Country dared not offend him. Ling Chuxi now knew how lofty his status was in the sect.
“Are you done thinking about it? With my status at the Heavenly Star Sect, even if you are the Lord Divine Messenger, you would not dare easily provoke us,” added Ye Qianhe triumphantly when saw a shade of shock on Ling Chuxi’s face.
“It turns out that the Heavenly Star Sect is so powerful that even the Deity Temple would not dare provoke it,” said Ling Chuxi in awe as she widened her eyes. Seeing Ling Chuxi show as much admiration as she could towards the Heavenly Star Sect caused ripples to go across Ye Qianhe’s heart.
Just as Ye Qianhe was about to speak again with a face full of happiness, he heard Ling Chuxi giggling. “However, just forget it. You are so powerful, yet you were still sent flying away with a slap from a single man.”
“Still seeking death I see!” hissed Ye Qianhe as the smile on his face stiffened. He stretched forth his claws in exasperation to catch Ling Chuxi once more. This incident of being sent flying away by a single slap was forever a pain in Ye Qianhe’s heart. But this little brat would always poke at this painful spot with all her might! It was too hateful!
Ling Chuxi hurriedly quickened her steps and started running again! Ye Qianhe gave out an angry wail and chased after her in hot pursuit once more.
The both of them began yet another great thousand-mile chase.
This time as Ling Chuxi ran, she was still provoking Ye Qianhe again although she did so in a different way.
“Sigh. Old Senior Ye, don’t you think it’s time you stop chasing after me? I think you are quite adorable actually. Why don’t we just sit down and rest while discussing this matter of taking me on as a disciple?” Ling Chuxi who was whizzing ahead, turned back to tease and laugh playfully at Ye Qianhe.
