Chapter 787: Not You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Her smile made Ye Chen feel like he was bathed in a spring breeze, and it even briefly made him lose focus.

It was completely different from the cold attitude she had when she had slapped Luo Huan.

Ye Chen finally came back to his senses. His injuries had recovered somewhat, but there was still not much true qi in his dantian. He looked at Ji Siqing intently.

In the past, he might have felt inferior when facing Ji Siqing.

However, now that he was in control of the Samsara Graveyard, the gap between the two of them would be shortened one day. Perhaps one day she would look up to him.

This was the reason why he was calm and composed.

Suddenly, Ye Chen’s eyes burst with confidence as he said, “Not bad. At least I won’t be as miserable as I was five years ago. By the way, how’s Uncle’s condition? Ji Lin and Lin Ruhai should have arrived at the Ji family, right?” Seeing the confidence in Ye Chen’s eyes, Ji Siqing’s eyes narrowed slightly. She was a little puzzled and surprised.

However, she did not think too much about it.

The confidence Ye Chen exuded was completely different from the young man she remembered from five years ago.

There was a kind of freedom and fearlessness in his eyes now.

During this period of time, she had learned some things from Ji Lin about Ye

Chen after he returned. She knew that Ye Chen must have obtained some fortuitous encounter. Otherwise, he would not have been able to save Ji Lin back then.

She was very pleased with this change. Perhaps this was the reason for her premonition.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen had matured too late.

He had only started cultivating when he was in his teens, and even now, he was still stuck at the transcendent realm.

Others had cultivated for decades, but he only had five or six years.

The difference in cultivation time was a big problem.

Ye Chen’s current transcendent realm cultivation was only considered average in the Kunlun Mountains. However, compared to the geniuses of those sects, he was far behind, not to mention a cultivator of Luo Huan’s level.

She naturally knew Luo Huan and knew that she was from the Cyan Phoenix sect.

However, so what? If she did not like her, she would still hit her.

This was because the sect behind her was far stronger than the Cyan Phoenix sect!

As Ye Chen and Ji Siqing exchanged glances, Luo Huan crawled up from the ground with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

She was in a sorry state, and her face was swollen.

She came over to Granny Hua’s side with tears in her eyes as she said, “Master, you must help me!”

Although Granny Hua knew that Ji Siqing had a special status, she could not just sit back and watch her disciple being humiliated.

She tapped the ground lightly with her cane, then looked at Ji Siqing and said, “Ji Siqing, isn’t it a bit too much for you to slap my disciple in front of me? Or are you looking down on the Cyan Phoenix sect?”

Ji Siqing heard the voice and turned around. At the same time, her smile vanished, and that familiar cold aura spread out once more.

“Too much? Hehe, I’m sorry. I don’t think so.”

“As for you, Granny Hua, you’re an elder of the Cyan Phoenix sect. Given your seniority and strength, you’re actually making things difficult for a transcendent realm junior with your disciple. Even if you aren’t ashamed, I’m ashamed on your behalf!”

“To put it bluntly, the two of you have disgraced the Cyan Phoenix sect!”

Ji Siqing’s cold voice resounded throughout the area,

Granny Hua and Luo Huan had not expected Ji Siqing to speak in such a manner.

Clearly she was not even bothered to maintain even a modicum of cordiality, and even went so far as to insult them!

Granny Hua’s expression turned very ugly, and her killing intent was unleashed.

“Ji Siqing! How audacious! Don’t think that I won’t dare to touch you just because of your status and backing. There are no outsiders here. If I kill you, who will know?”

Granny Hua responded with a threat!

Ye Chen naturally sensed Granny Hua’s murderous intent, and he was filled with anger. At the same time, the evil treasure in his forehead began to stir more and more.

If Ji Siqing had not appeared, he might have been possessed or transformed by this evil treasure.

At that time, the ones who would die would be Granny Hua and Luo Huan. In a sense, Ji Siqing had also saved the lives of those two. However, the consequences of the transformation would not have been good for Ye Chen either.

Ji Siqing turned a deaf ear to Granny Hua’s threat. She pointed the thin sword in her hand at Granny Hua and said indifferently, “Granny Hua, are you sure you can kill me? Although you are a little stronger than me, don’t forget that I have a drop of my master’s blood essence with me at all times.”

“If I were to use it, do you think you would be able to withstand the consequences?”

“In my eyes, if I wanted to kill you, even your sect master would not be able to stop me.”

“However, I don’t care about your cheap lives, and don’t want to waste my master’s power on killing you.”

Disdain!

Her words completely disregarded them and touched their bottom line.

Luo Huan was furious.

She knew that Ji Siqing was very strong, but had not expected her to be so arrogant!

She spat out a mouthful of blood and said coldly, “Ji Siqing, do you really think you are in control here?”

“Am I not?” Ji Siqing responded calmly.

“Master, can you really watch her disrespect us like this?”

Luo Huan saw that Granny Hua had not moved for a long time.

However, at this moment, Granny Hua was staring at Ji Siqing with a hint of fear.

Ji Siqing was that person’s beloved disciple, so it was very likely that he had indeed given her a drop of blood essence.

If Ji Siqing really used it, the two of them would definitely die!

“Let’s go!”

Granny Hua made up her mind.

Luo Huan’s eyes widened. However, just as she was about to say something, she realized that her master was glaring at her.

“Stop spouting nonsense and listen to me!”

Luo Huan stomped her foot and followed her master sullenly.

Today’s humiliation was destined to become a shadow in her heart.

On the other hand, Ji Siqing did not stop them when she saw them leave.

In terms of strength, she was no match for Granny Hua. Forcing these two people to leave of their own volition was the best choice.

However, when the two of them were about ten meters away, a cold voice rang out from behind Ji Siqing.

“Did I say you could leave?!”

Ji Siqing was stunned. She turned around in surprise and found Ye Chen staring at the two of them with bloodthirsty eyes.

Granny Hua and Luo Huan stopped in their tracks.

“Kid, don’t think that I won’t dare to touch you just because Ji Siqing is here,” Granny Hua said coldly.

She believed that Ye Chen was just an arrogant person who was using Ji Siqing’s support to intimidate others.

He was courting death!

Without Ji Siqing, he would have died long ago!

Ji Siqing glanced at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, don’t cause trouble.”

Ye Chen smiled and brushed past Ji Siqing. After taking a few steps, he stopped. “Today’s matter isn’t over yet. If I’m not wrong, you guys should be participating in the genius competition, right?”

Granny Hua did not know Ye Chen’s intentions but she still said, “The Cyan Phoenix sect is destined to reach the top three. Do you want to challenge the sect?”

Ye Chen smiled. His fingers formed a seal and a rune condensed in the air. Then, he forced out a drop of blood essence and shot it toward the rune. “Since you are participating, then do you dare to swear an oath to my blood essence that in the competition, we will fight a battle to the death?” Ji Siqing frowned and said to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, are you sure? Luo Huan is several levels higher than you.”

Ye Chen gave Ji Siqing a confident look, and Ji Siqing did not say anything else. When Luo Huan heard Ye Chen’s ridiculous and suicidal request, she laughed! If it was a life-and-death battle, Ji Siqing would not be able to stop her from killing Ye Chen. At that time, she could torture Ye Chen however she wanted! She took a step forward and said, “Ye Chen, since you’re courting death, I’ll accept this battle!”

With that, Luo Huan prepared to force out her blood essence onto the rune.

At this moment, Ye Chen unexpectedly stopped her. “Wait a minute!” “Ye Chen, are you going back on your word?” Luo Huan frowned.

Ye Chen shook his head. He extended a finger and suddenly pointed at Granny Hua!

A cold sentence exploded in everyone’s minds like thunder.

“I’m sorry, I’m not challenging you, but the old woman behind you!”
