Chapter 99: Chapter 99: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 13)
Astrolabe Sword Sect’s Sword Debate Hall.
Zhao Ximing had risen very early today because he heard a few days ago that a great ancestor master would be teaching in the Sword Debate Hall.
The lectures of a Sword Emperor might not matter to those who were disciples of the inner sect elders, but for them, the uninitiate inner sect disciples, it was a rare opportunity.
Not to mention the ordinary outer sect disciples.
However, although he arrived early, when he reached the Sword Debate Hall, he discovered that the seats with the best views had already been taken; evidently, many had come earlier than him.
Zhao Ximing spotted Bai Xinya amidst the crowd right away.
Her position was very forward, a spot she, as a mere outer sect disciple, could not have possibly secured on her own.
Zhao Ximing’s gaze swept to the side, and sure enough, he saw an inner sect disciple in robes sitting next to Bai Xinya. Zhao recognized him as a prodigy of Sword Heart Eighth Stage among this batch of inner sect disciples.
The two appeared close and intimate; their relationship was clear at first glance.
Zhao Ximing smirked coldly. Ever since that day when an unknown senior had warned him in the wilderness, he had begun to silently observe Bai Xinya.
The more he knew, the colder his heart grew, and he deeply felt that his former self, who was heartily devoted to Bai Xinya, had been utterly blind.
That woman was clearly dragging him along while maintaining a close relationship with him; she even had ambiguously close relationships with several other inner and outer sect disciples at the same time.
He had also seen an outer sect disciple who was discarded by Bai Xinya. After he became of no use to Bai Xinya, she instantly changed her attitude towards him.
The discontent outer sect disciple continued to pester her, and was beaten half to death by one of Bai Xinya’s suitors.
Throughout the incident, Bai Xinya simply hid behind others, always maintaining an appearance disliking gore, yet she never spoke a word in defense of that outer sect disciple.
Such a woman was not weak and pitiful at all; she was selfish and indifferent to the extreme.
After that, Zhao Ximing had distanced himself from Bai Xinya, continuing with her could mean not knowing how he might end up dead one day.
Zhao Ximing came back to his senses and found that all the seats in the entire Sword Debate Hall were occupied, and many people, due to a lack of seats, were standing outside the door.
“She’s here!” he heard someone say.
As if a cool fragrance brushed past him, Zhao Ximing instinctively looked up and was stunned.
Zhao Ximing recognized at a glance that the woman in white sitting at the topmost seat was the senior who had saved his life that day in the wilderness.
Gu Shengyin, a person like her, was unforgettable at first sight to anyone.
Turns out, she was his Great Ancestor Master.
Bai Xinya also recognized Gu Shengyin.
Unlike Zhao Ximing’s complex joy, she felt full of unease and panic at the sight of Gu Shengyin.
This woman was her Great Ancestor Master?
She felt uneasy, having met her twice before. The first time, this Great Ancestor Master had clearly shown her displeasure towards her, and the second time, she had even stood with those who ambushed her.
Although innocence might excuse her, if the Great Ancestor Master labeled her with “Disrespect towards a sect elder,” Bai Xinya could only accept her fate.
Gu Shengyin naturally saw Bai Xinya as well, but she only glanced at her lightly before shifting her gaze away.
As long as this woman didn’t bother her, Gu Shengyin, who was just there to complete a mission, didn’t have the spare time to specifically deal with her.
