Chapter 476: Master, Do You Believe in the Future?
“Senior Sister Feng, calm down!”
Xu Tingyu was about to step in, but Gan Ningshuang stopped her with a gentle smile.
“Yu’er, don’t worry. Senior Sister Feng knows how to restrain herself.”
Xu Tingyu looked at Si Mufeng who was chasing after Luo Xue with a sword and couldn’t help but feel worried.
“Senior Sister Shuang, are you sure? Didn’t you see that Senior Sister Feng has already drawn her Weeping Blood Sword?”
Gan Ningshuang hesitated for a moment, but then leisurely waved her hand.
“It seems that Senior Sister Feng has gone mad again, but it’s fine. I’ll go and suppress her in a moment.”
That Luo Xue had caused her to travel across several continents, losing several pounds in the process. How could she not teach her a lesson?
Looking at Gan Ningshuang, who was as elegant and ethereal as a fairy, Xu Tingyu became even more desperate.
“Senior Sister Shuang, can’t you fly faster? They’re already out of sight.”
Gan Ningshuang calmly combed her hair and replied, “No, flying too fast will mess up my hairstyle. It won’t look ethereal enough.”
Xu Tingyu finally couldn’t take it anymore. She grabbed Gan Ningshuang’s hand and rushed towards Luo Xue and the others.
“Senior sister, forget about your hairstyle! If we’re any later, Xue’er’s grave will already be overgrown with grass!”
Gan Ningshuang’s frightened voice echoed from afar, “Yu’er, don’t pull on my clothes! Ah, my hairstyle is ruined!”
Half an hour later, at Qionghua Heavenly Palace.
A white streak of light shot across the usually tranquil Qionghua Heavenly Palace, followed closely by a menacing blood-red glow.
“Master, save me! Senior Sister Feng has gone mad again!”
A melodious scream rang out, but the disciples of Qionghua were already used to such scenes and quickly hid.
“Hehehe, Xue’er, don’t run away! Come and hug your senior sister!”
Si Mufeng wielded her blood-red sword with wide, sweeping motions, the crimson light dazzling and the chilling aura of death enveloping the surroundings, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.
Luo Xue could only hurriedly block with her Zhen Yuan Sword, while a flurry of sword light swirled around her like a snowstorm, barely deflecting the attack.
All of the Qionghua disciples felt the sharp yet elusive sword intent rising, causing their own swords to tremble uncontrollably.
“It’s Senior Sister Luo Xue! She’s back!” a female disciple shouted.
“This sword intent… it’s the Sword Saint’s intent! Has Xue’er become a Sword Saint?” an elder exclaimed in delight.
“This is wonderful! Qionghua now has another Sword Saint. We’re truly set for the next ten thousand years,” another elder laughed heartily.
…
But despite their excitement, no one stepped forward to help Luo Xue block the sword.
After all, it was Si Mufeng’s sword. Who would dare to block it? Who wasn’t afraid of this madwoman showing up at their door in the middle of the night to chop them down?
Luo Xue fought as she retreated, letting out a startled cry as she darted into the Minghua Hall.
Seeing the Qionghua Supreme, she immediately rushed forward, crashing into her embrace and burying her face in her chest.
“Master, save me!”
Like a celestial being descending from the heavens, Si Mufeng thrust her sword straight at the Qionghua Supreme, her killing intent soaring to the skies, her eyes unwavering.
The Qionghua Supreme remained calm, casually catching the deadly sword with two slender fingers.
Despite Si Mufeng’s full strength, the sword couldn’t move an inch, frozen in mid-air.
The sword intent around the two of them surged, stirring up gusts of wind. To an outsider, it might have looked like a battle between mortal enemies.
“You’ve improved, but not by much.”
The Qionghua Supreme flicked her hand, forcing Si Mufeng to spin in the air before landing on the ground.
But in the next second, Si Mufeng transformed into a myriad of blood-red lights, attacking the Qionghua Supreme at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The entire Minghua Hall was filled with her figures, as if thousands of her were striking simultaneously, the eerie blood red light engulfing everything.
Luo Xue couldn’t help but change her expression. Had Senior Sister completely lost herself in the fight?
The Qionghua Supreme’s lips curled slightly as she formed a sword with her fingers. Although her movements seemed slow, they were flawless, effortlessly blocking all of Si Mufeng’s attacks.
Seeing that Si Mufeng still wouldn’t stop, the Qionghua Supreme casually waved her sleeve, and a wave of sword intent radiated outward from the two of them.
“Enough!”
Si Mufeng was forced out of the void and slammed heavily into a wall, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.
She seemed to have calmed down, gracefully standing up and elegantly wiping the blood from her lips.
She sheathed her sword and smiled sweetly, “Thank you for your guidance, Master!”
Her eyes were clear and cold, with no trace of the madness from earlier, as if the person who had just been so frenzied wasn’t her at all.
The Qionghua Supreme nodded and said, “You need to control yourself better, or I’m afraid you might really go mad next time.”
“Don’t worry, Master. I know what I’m doing,” Si Mufeng replied with a smile.
Only then did Xu Tingyu and Gan Ningshuang dare to enter, bowing respectfully, “Greetings, Master.”
The Qionghua Supreme acknowledged them with a nod, and then looked amusedly at Luo Xue, who was still clinging to her.
“Xue’er, what are you doing?”
Luo Xue hugged the Qionghua Supreme tightly, nuzzling against her like a kitten and quickly putting on a pitiful expression.
“Master, I missed you so much!”
Although acting cute was shameless, it was still better than being scolded!
Luo Xue, who was forced to “act”, was secretly relieved that Lin Fengmian wasn’t here. Otherwise, he’d probably laugh himself to death at her expense.
The Qionghua Supreme looked at Luo Xue, who had been so pitifully pursued by Si Mufeng, and couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
“You missed me? If you missed me, you wouldn’t have wandered around for so long before coming back!”
Luo Xue was immediately speechless, her beautiful eyes rapidly darting around.
The Qionghua Supreme pushed the girl who took advantage of the situation away and asked softly, “Tell me, where have you been?”
Luo Xue’s gaze shifted uneasily, and she guiltily replied, “I didn’t go anywhere special. I just went for a walk to clear my mind.”
Having raised her since she was a child, the Qionghua Supreme immediately knew that she was lying.
She shook her head and gently said to Gan Ningshuang and the others, “You may all leave now. I need to speak with her alone.”
The three women gave Luo Xue a worried look before reluctantly leaving.
Once outside, Si Mufeng’s face was calm and emotionless, as cold and elegant as a celestial being, completely different from her earlier self.
Xu Tingyu timidly asked, “Senior Sister Feng, are you… back to normal?”
“When was I ever not normal?”
Si Mufeng shot her a glance and then gracefully floated away into the air.
If it weren’t for the fact that she occasionally spun in midair a few times, Xu Tingyu might have actually believed her.
Inside the Minghua Hall.
The Qionghua Supreme sat on her jade chair and calmly said, “Alright, you can speak now. Where have you been all this time?”
Luo Xue hesitated and looked at her for a long time before finally asking softly, “Master, do you believe in the future?”
The Qionghua Supreme was taken aback and frowned. “Xue’er, why are you asking such a thing?”
Luo Xue nervously said, “Master, what I’m about to say may sound unbelievable and even frightening. Please don’t be afraid.”
The Qionghua Supreme’s lips twitched, and she looked at Luo Xue with a gaze full of concern.
“Go ahead. I’m listening.”
Luo Xue’s eyes filled with sorrow as she said, “Master, if I told you that in two hundred years, Qionghua will be destroyed and you will perish… would you believe me?”
The Qionghua Supreme’s hand tightened on the jade armrest of her chair. She silently looked at Luo Xue, then let out a helpless sigh.
“So it’s come to this after all. It seems there’s no escaping it.”
