“Senior Brother Xiao?” The young man opposite Ling Chuxi was stunned as he looked at the person who had spoken.
“You are not her match,” the young man addressed as Senior Brother Xiao stated, leaving no room for argument.
The young man felt terror creep into his heart under that frigid gaze. He did not dare question further and helplessly stopped the finger gesture.
The thread of enlightening light instantly disappeared from Ling Chuxi’s mind. She was so angry that she almost started cursing aloud. Just a little bit more and she would have been able to comprehend that mysterious finger gesture.
However, it did not matter if her opponent had admitted defeat in this match – she still had a chance in the next match.
Just as she was thinking that, she saw the stern young man looking at her intently. Eventually, he spoke, “Next time, I hope to be able to battle you.”
“Next time? What do you mean?” Ling Chuxi stared at him, perplexed. The young man gazed at her, then openly emitted his own Battle Qi.
Great Fulfilment. He actually had the cultivation of the Great Fulfilment! This young man was the same as her – he was an expert who had already experienced the heavenly lightning striking the body!
“Let’s go. We have already delayed for too long, we should leave.” The young man gazed at Ling Chunxi one last time, then left without looking back.
“Senior Brother Xiao!” Fang Yuanqiu became anxious and immediately ran after him.
“We have already helped your Fang family where we could, however, her cultivation is not something that the few of you can compete with. Also, do not hope that I will show my hand. If we delay certain matters, you should know the outcome.” The young man glanced at him coldly.
Fang Yuanqiu instantly averted his gaze, not daring to say anymore.
The Fang family head looked extremely reluctant, but did not dare argue when he saw the gaze the young man whose surname was Xiao had. If not for the connection with Fang Yuanqiu, considering the other party’s cultivation and identity, he probably would not have even noticed the Fang family. How could he say anything more?
The Lan and Fang family’s sparring was thus declared ended with the Fang family’s defeat.
However, the Fang family head was not the only person who felt like they had lost today – the other was, of course, Ling Chuxi. She had been so close to comprehending that mysterious finger gesture, but in the end, it was all for naught. If a Level-8 Battle Qi could rely on that finger gesture to use a Level-9 cultivation, then with her current cultivation, how strong she would be if she were able to master that gesture!
Those people eventually left the place. If not for that young man who had the surname Xiao also having the cultivation of the Great Fulfilment, Ling Chuxi would have grabbed one of them for questioning.
‘Who exactly were those people? And what were those matters he was talking about?’ Ling Chuxi was really curious.
“Chuxi, thank you.” At that moment, Lan Xinyu appeared in front of her and sincerely thanked her. If it weren’t for Ling Chuxi, she would still be the domineering and self-centered miss of the Lan Family. She would never have known what a friend is, nor what responsibility is, nor would she have the cultivation she had today. The process had been challenging, but she also knew that it was all thanks to Ling Chuxi that she was able to become who she was today.
Lan Xinyu felt extremely grateful looking at Ling Chuxi. There was a warmth and closeness between them that was reminiscent of relatives.
“If you want to thank me, raise your cultivation properly. Otherwise, it will be boring when I beat you up,” Ling Chuxi scoffed disdainfully and rolled her eyes. Lan Xinyu stared at her, dumbfounded.
“Ling Chuxi, you’re in for it!” Lan Xinyu recovered and roared. ‘Hallucination. All that gratitude, warmth, and closeness just now was definitely a hallucination.’
