"..."
Geng Qi's eyes widened slightly. Did this mean that if he hadn't come out of his memories, he would already be a corpse?
He'd kill her the moment he saw her! Did this woman hate him that much?
He turned around and looked around. There were only him and Qiu Qingxue in this hall. The people from other sects stayed in the first five floors. One reason was that they were not strong enough to take risks, and the other was that the treasures in the first five floors were already attractive enough to them, but those rare and precious materials were still not enough for the pride of the second hall.
The person he was waiting for hadn't arrived, and instead, he ran into someone he had a grudge against. To make matters worse, he was also extremely tired!
Qiu Qingxue was still standing at the palace gate. The sword that had slipped from her hand had returned to her hand, but she had not sheathed it. She still had a cold and aloof appearance, but she could not hide the murderous intent overflowing in her eyes.
Geng Qi squinted and said, "You want to kill me?"
Qiu Qingxue coldly asked, "Who are you?"
She was vigilant, yet she feigned an unwavering composure, as if the shock of her failed ambush moments before was merely a fleeting illusion.
But Geng Qi knew very well that this was not an illusion.
The reason for this contradiction is that the person in front of you is deliberately disguising themselves, or more precisely, imitating others!
People say that Fairy Qingxue is pure and beautiful, like a lotus in a turbid world. Although she is not talkative, she still makes people admire her.
However, her unsmiling demeanor was truly off-putting.
Geng Qi's face gradually turned cold, and he said with a sarcastic smile, "Do you even know what a 'four unlikes' is?"
Qiu Qingxue frowned slightly.
"You should at least consider whether you have the qualifications to imitate others..." Geng Qi said, as the long whip hidden in his sleeve gradually transformed into a golden longsword, which he grasped in his hand: "Clearly, your heart is as venomous as a snake, yet you still pretend to be noble and virtuous. If people knew that the admired Fairy Qingxue was imitating the person she loved but could not have, I wonder what they would think..."
"Shut up!"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the thrusting sword. Qiu Qingxue's delicate face was contorted as the sword, imbued with violent spiritual power, drew several sword beams, aiming directly at Geng Qi's face.
With a slight twitch of his fingers, the already exposed golden sword tip swiftly flew out from his sleeve. Geng Qi raised his hand to grasp the hilt, creating a golden halo in front of him to block all the sword light. It then slashed through the air and collided with the blue longsword that was close in front of him.
With a crisp sword cry, intense energy spread out from the blade, causing violent tremors in the surrounding space. Geng Qi stepped back half an inch and slashed the blade with even greater force, the tip of the sword pointing directly at the throat of the person opposite him.
Qiu Qingxue was startled and took several steps back. Her face, which was full of murderous intent, couldn't help but show a hint of fear. "Who exactly are you?!"
"If you don't know who I am, why do you want to kill me?"
This is what Geng Qi didn't understand.
Although he had targeted this person, his current identity is that of a direct descendant of the Tianzhi Sect Master, and Rong Yu's rightful disciple. In order to please Rong Yu, shouldn't she treat him better?
Qiu Qingxue clenched her fists tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with icy coldness, but she refused to speak.
Another sword light struck, and Geng Qi dodged it by tilting his head. He then saw her suddenly stop, sheath her sword, and quickly form hand seals, conjuring a blue lotus flower in front of her. Geng Qi raised an eyebrow. He could see the terrifying power contained within that lotus flower, and he was even more certain that Qiu Qingxue's desire to kill him had nothing to do with his true identity!
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he was about to make a move when the sound of wind breaking came from outside the hall. His eyes lit up, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
As the lotus flower drew closer, Geng Qi looked at the figure appearing at the palace entrance and retreated repeatedly, feigning fear.
"Snow removal is not allowed!"
Someone tried to stop her, but someone was faster. A moon-white figure flashed past Qiu Qingxue, scooping up the retreating boy around the waist. In the instant of dodging, he struck at the same time, a blood-red wind blade piercing through the blue lotus flower. In an instant, a series of booming sounds filled the air, and the entire palace trembled. A wave of heat swept through, and the people who had rushed into the palace covered their faces with their hands. Only after the spiritual energy fluctuations subsided did they look up.
The three faced off, the boy lying "weakly" in Rong Yu's arms, looking up and calling out "Master" before turning his head to the side and fainting.
This person clearly collapsed after being exhausted and meeting someone they trusted.
Several people who appeared at the palace entrance all looked at the woman in blue inside. Han Zhao stepped forward and said urgently, "Qingxue, what's wrong with you...?"
Qiu Qingxue ignored him completely. Looking at the person who had suddenly appeared in the hall, holding the boy with a look of tenderness, she felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles. She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, saying, "Senior Brother Rong, this person..."
"You hurt him."
The few words, spoken calmly, carried a chilling undertone. Rong Yu slowly raised his eyes, his gaze meeting Qiu Qingxue's anxious eyes.
How much she had once wished this man would look at her like this, but now all she saw in his eyes was endless killing intent. Qiu Qingxue involuntarily took a step back, and someone leaned against her from behind.
Han Zhao frowned, looking at the unconscious boy in Rong Yu's arms, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Perhaps there's some misunderstanding..."
"There's no misunderstanding!" Qiu Qingxue suddenly spoke, biting her lower lip tightly, forcing herself to remain calm, "I just want to kill him. This person isn't your disciple at all. He suppressed his cultivation to enter the secret realm. He approached you with a purpose!"
She originally planned to kill the boy without anyone noticing, but the boy's strength exceeded her expectations, which was exactly what she wanted. If someone had seen her kill someone to cover it up before, she would have felt guilty, but now that the boy was hiding his strength and had ulterior motives, it was the perfect excuse for her!
