NOVEL NEXT chapter 4
Chapter 4: Are You Laughing at Master?
“Heroine Lin, there’s nothing here.”
“Nothing here either.”
“Damn it, where did that guy hide the witch?”
The people eager to catch Youlan were getting impatient.
Lin Qingxue stood in the main hall, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She pressed her hand against her chin, wondering why they couldn’t find Youlan.
They had indeed knocked Youlan into the Tianyan Sect, and it could be asserted that the witch had no chance of moving.
However, Lin Qingxue couldn’t sense Youlan’s presence in this small place of the Tianyan Sect.
She was very confident in her judgment, and others also didn’t think Youlan could escape far, yet after searching for an hour, they still couldn’t find the witch’s trace, not even any bloodstains.
Clearly, this broken sect was just a tiny place, where could Youlan be hiding?
“She must be here!” Lin Qingxue’s intuition told her that Youlan was definitely here, “Let’s keep searching!”
She couldn’t let Youlan roam outside, that witch was too dangerous.
Only those who had learned evil techniques would have such a strong bloodthirsty impulse.
No one had died these few times, but next time it might not be the case, she couldn’t let others take such a risk.
Other martial artists might have impure motives, some were after fame, some were after the government’s reward.
But Lin Qingxue’s purpose was very simple, she walked the martial world to serve people as a heroine.
However, because of this, many people secretly called her a naive idiot, but she didn’t know about it.
“You are really persistent.” He Youzhou folded his sleeves, looking at Lin Qingxue with admiration.
In so many years, he had rarely seen such a righteous and pure cultivator.
He had seen most of them deep-fried, yet Lin Qingxue could still live so healthily. It was truly rare in this world.
“By the way, do you want to join our Tianyan Sect?” He Youzhou glanced at Lin Qingxue’s appearance, his eyes lit up, “Our Tianyan Sect is currently recruiting beautiful girls, and you are so cute, you fit the criteria perfectly.”
As soon as he said this, Zhishi’s face darkened. She knew that someone was trying to steal her master again.
“C-c-c-cute!?” Lin Qingxue was made blush by He Youzhou’s sudden words, “You scoundrel!”
Being called cute in public made her feel extremely ashamed, but also a little happy.
She dressed very neutrally to avoid being underestimated, but deep down, she still hoped to be praised.
Not praised as “beautiful” or “heroic”, but as “cute”.
“I am an outer disciple of the Qingshan Sect, how could I join your demonic sect!” She snorted coldly, but the blush on her face had not yet faded.
“Besides, with your strength only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, do you think you are worthy of me joining your sect?” She glanced at He Youzhou and said, “Even if your strength is far beyond Foundation Establishment, the fact that you use techniques to hide your true strength shows that you dare not reveal it openly.”
If He Youzhou were truly powerful, why would he play these tricks in front of a junior like her?
He Youzhou crossed his arms and tilted his head, thinking about how to explain.
He really wanted Lin Qingxue to join his Tianyan Sect. Lin Qingxue was indeed a beautiful girl, and with a little grooming, she would not be inferior to Zhishi.
Everyone, he admitted it, he liked beautiful girls.
“Although, I do seem to be at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.” He Youzhou answered dejectedly.
He practiced a strange technique called “Sword Nourishing Technique”.
As he progressed, he found that the sword was the boss, and he was just an accessory to the swordsmanship.
It had to be said, this was a technique that suited him very well.
“What?” Lin Qingxue was stunned by He Youzhou’s answer.
A dignified demonic sect leader, only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment? Could it be that the Tianyan Sect had really fallen to such a state? This was too sad and ridiculous.
But Lin Qingxue thought there was another possibility, that He Youzhou was toying with her.
“Hand over that demon girl quickly, I don’t have time to play with you here!” Lin Qingxue looked at He Youzhou with a stern gaze, “Your Tianyan Sect has been safe and sound so far only because you haven’t done anything heinous in recent years.”
“But if you harbor that demon girl, it’s a different story.” Her eyes flashed with cold light, and she secretly gathered her energy.
If He Youzhou continued to circle around with her, she would have to use force to coerce him.
The sword behind her suddenly unsheathed, a cold light flashed, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at He Youzhou.
In her imagination, He Youzhou would definitely use the sword at his side to block her.
She could tell that He Youzhou was stronger than her, but if he were truly powerful, why would he stay in this desolate mountain, guarding an empty sect?
So even if He Youzhou was strong, he couldn’t be that strong.
Other martial artists seeing Lin Qingxue attacking the demonic sect leader couldn’t help but smile.
If nothing else, if they subdued this demonic sect leader, they might take advantage of Zhishi.
They had already made up their minds, if Lin Qingxue couldn’t handle He Youzhou, they would all join in.
Guarding this bird mountain, how strong can they be? If one can’t beat them, can twenty still not beat them?
Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but laugh lewdly, looking at He Youzhou with a bit more disdain.
In such a gaze, Lin Qingxue’s sword had already been thrust out.
“Ding——” A crisp sound rang out, but the sword did not pierce He Youzhou.
Chisato stood in front of He Youzhou, pinching the sharp sword with her fingers.
Lin Qingxue wanted to pull the sword out, but found that the other party’s fingers were as immovable as iron clamps.
“Are you laughing at my master?” Chisato’s heavenly voice was mixed with coldness, a coldness even more chilling than the sword’s edge.
She did not hide the killing intent in her eyes at all, just glanced at Lin Qingxue and those martial artists.
Clearly, Chisato was just standing there, but Lin Qingxue felt she was being looked down upon.
The red cloud patterns on Chisato’s white clothes seemed like her anger, giving the illusion that the cloud patterns were burning.
“I didn’t… I didn’t laugh…” Lin Qingxue couldn’t help but explain.
“You scum.” Chisato said expressionlessly, every word as cold as ten thousand years of frost, completely ignoring Lin Qingxue’s words.
This group of trash, how dare they look at my master with disdain!? How dare they!?
Her most respected master, her most beloved master, how could he be despised by such people!?
Lin Qingxue now only felt that the girl in front of her was extremely terrifying, even her hands started to disobey, trembling slightly.
There was a gap in strength between her and this girl.
And without a doubt, Chisato really had the intention to kill.
“Let go, let go, let go!” Lin Qingxue stammered.
“As you wish.” Chisato replied lightly, then gently exerted force with her fingers pinching the blade.
With a “crack”, Lin Qingxue’s sword, which she had exchanged for with a large amount of contribution points in her sect, was broken like a brittle wooden board right in front of her eyes.
