Chapter 105: Chapter 105: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 19)
Bai Xinya also saw Zhao Ximing.
She felt somewhat uneasy, afraid that Zhao Ximing had come to find her. Ever since she had connected with Xi Liufeng, she had started to distance herself from Zhao Ximing and the others.
Of course, she didn’t think this was because Xi Liufeng was too domineering, but rather that she had found her true love.
In fact, she was completely overthinking it, as Zhao Ximing had no intention of paying any attention to her.
Bai Xinya instead turned her gaze toward Gu Shengyin.
Because of the cloak she was wearing, she didn’t recognize Gu Shengyin. Seeing how attentively Zhao Ximing was treating her, she even thought he had found a new love.
At this thought, she became unhappy again.
She felt that she had been truly sincere in dealing with Zhao Ximing, yet he had found someone else so quickly, which gave her a sense of betrayal.
She completely forgot that Xi Liufeng was still standing beside her.
The more Bai Xinya thought about it, the less willing she was to accept it, and she stood up and approached Zhao Ximing, “Senior Brother Zhao, long time no see.”
Zhao Ximing nodded coldly in response.
Xi Liufeng, standing next to Bai Xinya, looked every bit the Flower Guardian. He watched Zhao Ximing with a very defensive expression.
Gu Shengyin suddenly became curious, wondering what had happened to the original Gu Weixin to make her give up so many excellent suitors and choose Xi Liufeng.
“Did Senior Brother Zhao also come here for the Fire Eye Essence?” As soon as Bai Xinya said this, all eyes around them turned their way.
Zhao Ximing cursed himself again for once being blind enough to fancy such a brainless woman, “Can you just say whatever comes to mind?”
Seeing that Zhao Ximing remained silent, Bai Xinya suddenly bit her lip, “I am also here for the Fire Eye Essence, Senior Brother Zhao. With your Sword Heart Level so high, you surely don’t need it. Can you let me have it?”
Before Zhao Ximing could refuse, Gu Shengyin spoke up.
Bai Xinya felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar, but she didn’t dwell on it.
“Who are you? What right do you have to answer my question instead of Senior Brother Zhao?” Bai Xinya’s tone was much less gentle when she addressed Gu Shengyin, another woman.
Zhao Ximing had just recovered from the shock of the “Goddess speaking up for him” when he heard the Goddess being questioned. He immediately said bluntly, “Her opinion is my opinion. I need the Fire Eye Essence as well, so let’s each rely on our own abilities.”
Bai Xinya looked at Zhao Ximing incredulously, “Senior Brother Zhao, you weren’t before?”
Zhao Ximing silently thought to himself, I think so too, I must have been possessed by my sword training before.
Xi Liufeng, already impatient, wrapped his arms around Bai Xinya’s waist and disdainfully looked at Zhao Ximing and Gu Shengyin, “Xinya, don’t worry, I guarantee the Fire Eye Essence will be yours.”
Bai Xinya, seeing the two strong individuals standing behind him, showed a sweet smile and snugly nestled into his embrace.
Just then, the temperature around them suddenly skyrocketed. Zhao Ximing and the others were fine, but Bai Xinya let out a scream.
The skin that was exposed suffered from the intense heat, causing a series of blisters to form.
“It seems the Fire Eye Essence is about to emerge!”
Gu Shengyin glanced at Zhao Ximing, and they both nodded, quickly darting deeper into Qifeng Valley.
“You too go in, and make sure to bring the Fire Eye Essence back for me!” Xi Liufeng, while consoling Bai Xinya, turned to the two strong individuals behind him and instructed.
