106 – add a deadline

ON FEBRUARY 27, 2022 BY MOONCHILDKHZ

Outside the sect stood a blue-clothed girl, who looked about 16 years old. With skin fresh like snow, a slender physique, an oval face, and willow-leaf eyebrows; her bearing was obviously noble. 

From her look and aura, she wasn’t weaker than Lu Qianqian. 

Murong Xin. 

Direct descendant from Tianhai City’s Murong Clan. 

A supreme-grade aptitude, a direct disciple of one of the Lily Saint Sect’s eleven elders.

Another layer of her status was Xiao Zuiji’s former fiancee.

This beautiful and talented Heaven’s chosen daughter appeared before the Ironbone Sect, surprising many. 

Murong Xin gently raised her hand, playing with a green ribbon tied to her hair. Her eyes were on the man standing at the sentry post some distance away. She muttered, “It really is him.”

A while ago, she had returned to Tianhai City to visit some relatives, where she heard that her ex-fiance participated in the Qingyang Commandery’s Sect Martial Arts Competition and won. Thus, when she was on her way back to the sect, she specially stopped by. 

Xiao Zuiji was also looking at Murong Xin. His expression was dark as he wondered, Why did this woman come here?

Memories from five years ago flashed through his mind. 

At that time in the Xiao Family’s great hall, before all the clansmen, Murong Xin and the Lily Saint Sect elder accompanying her had indifferently said, “I am here to break the engagement.”

These cold and arrogant words were like arrows puncturing Xiao Zuiji’s heart. As he roamed about for the next five years, he would often remember these words and be in a metropolis of pain. 

He had no feelings for his once fiancee. After all, they had been betrothed before they were even born and had only met once in childhood.

But this woman had broken their engagement, in front of a large crowd too. That was, without a doubt, equivalent to ruthlessly trampling upon his dignity. 

A genius degenerating into a wastrel, he could accept. 

Expulsion from the family, he could also accept. 

But he could not accept that when he was met with misfortune, his then fiancee had delivered one last kick, thoroughly sending him down into the abyss. 

Seeing Murong Xin again and remembering her haughty expression, Xiao Zuiji really wanted to aim with the Type 88 and pull the trigger. 

Creak.

At this time, the red-lacquered front doors opened wide and Su Xiaomo waved a hand. “Miss Murong, please enter.”

Murong Xin knit her brows. “Your sect head does not come to greet this miss personally?”

Even her voice carried arrogance. 

She had the qualifications to be arrogant. After all, she was the sole direct descendant of the Murong Clan. When she arrived at the boundary of Qingyang Commandery, many sect’s experts lined the streets to welcome her. 

Even if it was the fifth-grade Azure Mountain Sect, they would show her some courtesy because of the Lily Saint Sect.

Aiya, my god. This girl likes to flaunt. Su Xiaomo was ill-humored as he responded, “Miss Murong, you are only a direct descendant of the Murong Family. Why must my sect head greet you personally?”

Patriarch and leader of a sect, their statuses were equal. 

It was no problem for a sect leader to not greet a direct descendant, it was even quite customary. 

“Are you entering or not?” Su Xiaomo impatiently asked. “If you aren’t, I’m closing the door.”

“Hmph.” Murong Xin coldly snorted, but took a step to enter. Her brows were furrowed in anger, thinking, Just a ninth-grade sect, they really think too highly of themselves. 

After walking in, she saw the spacious outer court and the resplendent main hall glittering in gold and jade. Her bright eyes flashed with surprise. She said, “This Ironbone Sect is quite impressive.”

“But…”

She looked at the disciples cultivating and sneered, “Aptitude is mediocre and their cultivation is low. No matter how luxurious the sect is, it will still be a lowly sect.”

This woman’s arrogant manner sufficiently proved Jun Changxiao’s suspicions – those who visit are surely ill-intentioned!

The main hall. 

Murong Xin walked in and saw that a young man in white robes sat at the top. She said, “Are you the Ironbone Sect’s sect head?”

“Correct.” Jun Changxiao leaned his elbows on the armrests and clasped his hands together. With a smile he said, “This Lord heard that his disciple had a beautiful and unparalleled fiancee. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to your reputation.”

Li Qingyang felt the corner of his mouth twitch. My sect head, you used the word ‘fiancee’, isn’t that intentionally angering her?

Sure enough. 

Murong Xin’s elegant face immediately turned cold. “Sect Head Jun, I no longer have an engagement with Xiao Zuiji. Please do not use it to crack jokes.”

“Right, right.” Jun Changxiao smacked his forehead, feigning realization. “This Lord forgot, my disciple and Miss Murong do not have an engagement. Ah, I’m getting old, my memory isn’t good.”

The performance was so shoddy it made people feel embarrassed.

“Miss Murong.” Jun Changxiao returned to the proper topic and asked, “Your visit to my Ironbone Sect, what are you here for?”

“Nothing much,” Murong Xin lightly said. “Only heard that Sect Head Jun’s disciples took the martial arts competition’s Top 4 and came to have a look at what is so special.”

Jun Changxiao said, “So that’s how it is. Qingyang, call your Junior Brother Xiao and ask him to accompany Miss Murong. Let her tour the Ironbone Sect.”

Li Qingyang wanted to collapse. 

“Sect Head.”

Xiao Zuiji appeared at the entrance to the main hall. “Disciple is already here.”

Back side of the mountain, in a peach tree grove.

Murong Xin stood beneath a peach tree, her finger gently stroking a peach blossom. 

Xiao Zuiji crouched on a nearby rock, the Type 88 rifle bound with black cloth. It was placed to the side, as he felt that the gun should not leave his person. 

A woman with unparalleled beauty, a man with handsome valor. They seemed like a match made in Heaven. 

What a pity. 

This seemingly wonderful scene was actually filled with heavy silence. 

A long time passed. 

Murong Xin clasped her hands behind her back and looked at Xiao Zuiji, asking, “You’re still not Meridian Opening?”

Her voice had gotten much more neutral, losing the previous arrogance. 

Xiao Zuiji lightly said, “Miss Murong, whether I have opened a meridian, this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you?”

Murong Xin was silent for a while, then changed the topic. “That year, I told my grandfather to annul the marriage agreement, but he did not agree. Therefore do not blame me for making a decision without family authorization and going to the Xiao Family to break the engagement.”

“And…” She paused, then said, “I truly did not know that your spirit root and cultivation base had degenerated, nor did I know of your situation in the Xiao Family back then.”

Xiao Zuiji indifferently said, “The matter happened a long time ago, you do not need to explain to me.”

Murong Xin plucked a peach blossom, playing with the flower petals. “These past five years, others think that I, Murong Xin, went to the Xiao Family to break the engagement because my fiance did not have aptitude or cultivation.”

Saying this, she tossed over a bottle of medicinal pills. “There are 10 Meridian Attacking Pills, which will raise the probability of opening a meridian. Take it as compensation from the young and impulsive me.”

“Is this pitying me?” Xiao Zuiji asked. 

Murong Xin did not speak. 

Xiao Zuiji self-ridiculed, saying, “You, Murong Xin, are Heaven’s chosen daughter. I, Xiao Zuiji, am now a loser. Naturally, I am not worthy, please take back these Meridian Attacking Pills.”

Xiu—

A Happy Football came from nowhere, directly smacking him in the face. Then Jun Changxiao’s scolding could be heard: “Be unyielding for this Lord!”

Shua!

Xiao Zuiji stood up, clenching his fists. One word at a time, he said, “Murong Xin, the shame you gave me five years ago, there will be a day when I, Xiao Zuiji, will go to the Lily Saint Sect and return!”

“Add a deadline!” Jun Changxiao’s voice carried. 

“Ten years!”

“That’s too long!”

“Nine—”

“Good, it will be three years!”

Xiao Zuiji: “…”

Murong Xin twirled the green ribbon and said with a smile, “Three years later, you will come to the Lily Saint Sect to look for me?”

“Correct.” Xiao Zuiji’s eyes were cold. “Three years later, I will bring a letter of divorce to the Lily Saint Sect to tell everyone that it was I, Xiao Zuiji, who left. Not you, Murong Xin, who broke the engagement!”

Murong Xin was startled. 

For the first time, she saw an unprecedented firmness in his eyes. Even when they first met, when he was still considered a genius, that look had not been there. 

“Three years.” Murong Xin lightly said, “Good, I will await you in the Lily Saint Sect.”

Saying that, she turned to depart. The peach blossom fluttered through the wind, it’s petals separating in midair, as if representing that this once match made in Heaven was thoroughly going their separate ways. 

“Miss Murong.”

Jun Changxiao’s voice echoed through the mountainside: “We won’t be seeing you off.”
