Chapter 711 - 685: Feng Ling
Underground arena.
Trading area.
Inside the Undying Pavilion.
Looking at Sun Zhe, whose body was wrapped in bandages, Xiaoling sat by the bedside, tears streaming down her face, crying uncontrollably.
"It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me... Sister Qi wouldn’t have treated you this way."
Chen Ruolong, standing nearby, waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, now’s not the time to be weeping here. You should deal with your own injuries first."
"Damn, I’m speechless about this woman. Just because she caught us doing something that day, she bears a grudge against my boss as if what we did was some grave sin in her eyes."
"This kind of person is purely mentally twisted!"
"It wasn’t even her that day, why is it as if there’s some deep-seated hatred!"
"Sigh!"
Hearing Chen Ruolong cursing, Qi Jie suddenly sighed, looking at Sun Zhe on the bed and said, "I’m very sorry."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe opened his eyes, his voice weak, "Why are you apologizing?"
Qi Jie lowered his head and slowly said, "It might be because I lost to you, which made her feel ashamed, thinking it’s a disgrace, so she acted so extreme."
"Even though her actions were excessive, regardless, she is my sister, that’s an unchangeable fact... In short, Brother Sun, I don’t expect you to forgive, and you shouldn’t forgive her, I just hope you can stay strong, and if there’s anything you need in the future, feel free to ask me."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe just smiled without saying a word.
In fact, he didn’t care about these injuries at all.
Because at this moment, the Little Dragon Girl had already lifted the restriction on the Undying Body.
The injuries on his body and the Dantian shattered by Sword Qi were healing at an astonishing speed.
Just to prevent being discovered, he wrapped himself in bandages all over.
In the silence.
Sun Zhe asked Qi Jie, "If one day I do something like this to her, or even worse, would you intervene?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Jie was stunned, and then resolutely shook his head.
"If that day ever comes, then she brought it upon herself."
Sun Zhe laughed, "You’re a nice person, your values are quite right."
Chen Ruolong asked, "Boss, so what now?"
Sun Zhe didn’t speak, he closed his eyes, and rested peacefully.
He didn’t care about the flesh wounds at all, but at this moment, his Divine Sense was severely depleted, and he just wanted to have a good sleep.
Moreover, he also had a fire in his heart.
"Alright, I’m fine. You all go back first, I want to sleep."
Chen Ruolong hurriedly said, "Then boss, you sleep, I’ll stay and accompany you."
Sun Zhe shook his head, "No need, I’m really fine."
Qi Jie cupped his hands, "Then Brother Sun, we’ll discuss Sword Dao together another day."
"Alright, take care."
Watching Qi Jie leave, Chen Ruolong shook his head and laughed, "This sword fanatic is probably stuck to you."
Sun Zhe said, "Little Dragon, you should head back first, let Xiaoling stay."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruolong showed a meaningful expression of understanding, glanced at Sun Zhe, and then looked at Xiaoling, "Then you two chat, I’ll take my leave."
In his mind, the boss definitely wanted to do that thing, so he left Xiaoling behind.
A short while later.
After Chen Ruolong left, Sun Zhe asked Xiaoling to pull down the rolling shutter door.
Xiaoling’s pretty face turned red, she closed the door and returned to the small compartment, standing by the bedside, a little embarrassed to look at Sun Zhe.
In fact, she also thought Sun Zhe left her behind to do that thing.
Sun Zhe propped himself up, stared at her for a while, and asked, "How’s your injury?"
"Well... thanks to the Elixir Young Master Chen gave, it’s fine now, these flesh wounds will heal in a few days."
Sun Zhe sighed lightly, looking at her with a complex expression, hesitating to speak.
Xiaoling’s pretty face turned even redder, after a brief silence, she whispered, "Do you want me to go wash up?"
"Wash what?"
"I have so much blood on me, it’s inconvenient."
Sun Zhe waved his hand, "It’s fine, no need for the hassle, I don’t mind."
Xiaoling softly responded, then started taking off the coat Sun Zhe gave her, revealing the yoga tank top with broken shoulder straps underneath.
Sun Zhe caught a glimpse of her ample fullness, and couldn’t help but swallow, feeling the Yang Qi in his body gradually stirring.
Seeing Xiaoling reach to remove her yoga tank top, he realized she misunderstood and hurriedly said, "Don’t do that."
"What is it?"
Sun Zhe had a peculiar expression, "Actually, I kept you here to ask about your future plans, not to discuss mortise and tenon structures with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoling’s face blushed, she stomped shyly.
Then she put on her coat and said to Sun Zhe, "I’ve been in Kyoto these years, relying on men to cultivate Cultivation Techniques while seeking support from forces, and recently, Qi Xue took me in, letting me join the Qi Family martial arts club."
Sun Zhe said, "But she doesn’t seem to take you seriously."
Xiaoling sighed.
Sun Zhe asked, "Aren’t you curious why I noticed your Cultivation Technique after just one encounter, and knew you were a disciple of the Jade Fox Sect?"
"Why?"
Sun Zhe contemplated for a moment and said, "I actually know your Sect Leader, and my relationship with her... could be considered a romantic one."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoling’s eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Sun Zhe.
"You actually have a romantic relationship with the Sect Leader?"
Sun Zhe nodded, "Don’t believe it?"
"It’s hard to believe. But since you say so, I trust you."
Sun Zhe said, "She died."
Xiaoling’s eyes reddened, her body swayed weakly, "I know."
Sun Zhe said, "Not long ago, Han Xinyue joined the Undying Pavilion, she’s currently the Vice Pavilion Master of the Undying Pavilion."
"She’s not betraying the Jade Fox Sect as you think; on the contrary, she chose to cooperate with me to preserve what’s left of the Jade Fox Sect."
"Xiaoling, if you’re willing, you can try to join the Undying Pavilion. As for Qi Xue, you don’t need to go back."
"Okay, I’ll join."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe was taken aback, "So straightforward?"
Xiaoling wiped her tears and smiled, "It’s not because of anything else, it’s just... I see a human touch in you guys, and I really like the atmosphere you have."
"Following Qi Xue, I’m always on edge, cautious in speech and action."
Sun Zhe laughed, "From now on, you’re a first-generation disciple of the Undying Pavilion. Chen Ruoyi is the senior sister, Chen Ruolong is your second senior brother, and you’re the third."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
Xiaoling quickly bowed in salute.
Sun Zhe waved his hand, slowly lay back on the bed, "Alright, we don’t have such formalities in the Undying Pavilion."
"By the way, Xiaoling, after knowing you for so long, I still don’t know your real name."
"Hmm... my surname is Feng, Feng Ling."
"Feng Ling, wind chime... a good name. Alright, Xiaoling, you should rest first."
"By the way, in the Undying Pavilion, we start work at nine o’clock every morning."
Xiaoling looked at him bashfully, "Pavilion Master, do you really not need me to stay with you?"
Sun Zhe looked at her charming eyes full of spring, with a peculiar expression, "Better not, I can’t handle it in my current state."
Feng Ling said softly, "I can serve you, you don’t need to move."
