Chapter 843 Conflict
"Indeed," Xie Shiyuan explained, "The purpose of selecting people now is to train them during this period of time."
"I see."
Luo Li was a little uninterested.
After chatting with Xie Shiyuan for a few words and injecting Xie Shiyuan's soul power into the sound transmission stone, Luo Li left the lord's mansion.
Coming to the streets of Luoyue Territory, Luo Li thought as she walked that the Continent of Gods was indeed more down-to-earth than the Continent of Beasts.
Snack shops can be seen everywhere on the streets, and people walking on the streets rarely wear combat gear. Instead, they wear casual clothes, with a relaxed look on their faces.
Luo Li was walking on the street and bought two snacks when she suddenly heard a commotion coming from not far away.
She frowned slightly, and when she got closer, she found that it was a young girl kneeling on the ground, pulling at the thigh of a passing spiritualist. The spiritualist's face flushed red, and there was a young man in a green robe opposite him, shouting angrily: "I told you to let her go, did you hear me?"
The spiritual master gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Are you blind?! Can't you see she's holding on to me!"
The snack in Luo Li's hand was still steaming. She frowned slightly as she looked at the scene, and her steps that were about to leave stopped where she was.
The altercation in the street continued.
The girl had a pitiful face, her clothes were a little worn, and there were traces of tears on her face. Her hands were tightly grasping the trouser legs of the spiritual master who was just passing by, and her eyes were full of pleading and despair.
"No, he captured me. Please save me! I will definitely repay you!"
The people around were talking about it, but no one came forward.
The green-robed young man was filled with rage, and was about to step forward and forcefully pull them apart, but the spiritualist was held even tighter by the girl.
The spiritual master looked embarrassed and tried to break free several times but failed. He could only confront the green-robed young man with a red face, and the situation was deadlocked for a while.
The girl's fingertips turned white from the force, and the tears in her eyes sparkled in the sunlight, like dewdrops swaying in the morning light.
The noise of the crowd around her seemed to be isolated. She had only one thought in her mind: she must not be caught again, or she would die!
"Green Waist, I'll give you one last chance. If you choose to come back with me now, I can forgive you for what happened."
The figure of the young man in green robe appeared particularly cold in the interweaving of light and shadow, while the spiritual master looked helpless and embarrassed.
He was just passing by, but was grabbed by this girl who suddenly ran out. Who did he offend?
He looked at the crying girl with no pity in his eyes. In the Continent of Gods, the strong are respected and appearance is just an embellishment. Such a beautiful but powerless woman has no appeal to other spiritual masters.
He tried to pry the girl's hands apart, but when he couldn't, he simply tore open her robe and let her fall to the ground.
He said coldly: "If you were really captured by someone, there is nothing I can do. After all, your strength is too weak."
After saying that, the spiritual master frowned and left.
The green-robed youth smiled wickedly and grabbed her wrist. "I told you, Lu Yao, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being strong enough!"
The girl pursed her lips tightly, despair and stubbornness intertwined on her face.
No, she absolutely doesn't want to go back!
She took advantage of the green-robed young man's unpreparedness, suddenly broke free from his grasp, turned around and fled to the alley on the side, her petite figure moving flexibly in the narrow space.
The sunlight slanted in from the alley, stretching her shadow very long, as if even the shadow was trying desperately to escape.
The green-robed young man's face turned pale, and he quickly chased after him. The servants behind him also hurriedly followed, and the sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the alley.
The girl ran frantically, but she was just a God Emperor and was soon forced into a dead end.
She leaned against the cold stone wall, her breathing sounding particularly heavy in the narrow alley.
There was a dead end ahead, and behind her was a young man in green robes who was closing in on her. His eyes were as cold as a knife, pushing her into a desperate situation step by step.
The sunlight struggled at the end of the alley, leaving only a ray of afterglow, illuminating her face in half light and half dark, despair and stubbornness intertwined in her eyes.
The girl pressed herself against the wall, her fingers unconsciously scratching the rough stone surface. Every breath she took felt like a fire ignited in her chest, hot and painful.
"Why won't you let me go?!"
The green-robed youth spread his hands and said, "Don't you know best why I didn't let you go, Green Waist? You shouldn't blame me."
"With me, you can eat your fill every day, and you can also use the most precious elixirs to recuperate. You should blame your parents for abandoning you at birth. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have ended up like this, right?"
The girl's eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Her fingers scratched fine lines on the stone surface, as if she wanted to carve all the anger and unwillingness in her heart into the hard stone wall.
The green-robed young man approached slowly, and every step he took stepped on the girl's trembling heartstrings.
He raised one eyebrow slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. That smile contained unquestionable strength and indifference.
The sunlight shone through the narrow alley onto his face, but it did not reflect a trace of warmth, leaving only a cold interweaving of light and shadow.
The girl bit her lower lip tightly, and blood oozed out quietly, staining her pale lips red.
Her eyes were like torches, fixed on the green-robed young man who was approaching her, as if she wanted to burn him to death with this look.
The young man stopped and looked down at her, his fingers gently stroking a strand of hair on her cheek. His movements seemed gentle, but there was an icy coldness in his eyes.
The air around them seemed to freeze, even the wind from the alley entrance did not dare to enter easily. Only the heavy and disordered breathing of the two people echoed in this narrow space.
Just as he was about to touch the girl, a dazzling light flashed. When he opened his eyes again, the girl who was within his reach had quietly disappeared.
After the light faded, the young man stood there in shock, his eyes searching anxiously in the empty alley.
At the end of the alley, a solitary lamp swayed gently in the wind, casting mottled light and shadows, like the last breath left by the girl.
The green-robed young man slowly raised his hand. The touch of her skin seemed to linger on his fingertips. It was cold and real, making him frown. Then he said angrily, "What are you standing there for? Go find her!"
The person behind him said in panic: "Yes, Young Master!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already appeared like a ghost, moving through the narrow alleys, each step being on the edge of the intersection of light and shadow.
His quick and firm footsteps echoed on the cobblestone road in the alley, interweaving with the occasional sound of drums in the distance, beating against the silence of the night.
The night wind blew gently, causing his dark green clothes to flutter like waves rolling in the night, but there was an unquenchable fire burning in his eyes. He absolutely could not let her run away.
Absolutely not!
