The Astonished Su Xue
A hint of surprise flickered in Ye Bai’s eyes as he shook his head helplessly and said, “I’ve already told you, it’s best not to compare yourself to me. If I hadn’t suppressed my strength to fifty percent, you might have already dead.”
Hiss!
All the disciples gasped in shock, feeling a dizzying sensation in their minds. He actually suppressed fifty percent of his strength? Does this mean that Ye Bai’s true power...
If he had used his full strength, wouldn’t he have killed someone instantly?
The gazes of the numerous disciples towards Ye Bai completely changed, becoming a mixture of complexity, envy, and jealousy, but more than anything, they were filled with respect and awe.
In a world where the strong were revered, only strength possessed the greatest persuasive power. Without strength, everything was in vain.
At this moment, Ye Bai finally shed the label of being a waste, making everyone realize a different side of him.
Pfft!
Zhao Le spurted out a mouthful of blood, his vision darkening as he fainted.
Ye Bai walked up to the dazed Su Xue, giving her a faint smile under the radiant sunlight. “Eldest Senior Sister, let’s go.”
“Oh, alright, let’s go,” Su Xue replied conditionally, her heart unsettled, following Ye Bai as they headed towards the Floating Cloud Mountain.
Only at this moment did the crowd remember to exclaim in astonishment, and a few who were close to Zhao Le hurriedly went forward to treat him.
“What the hell, did I see that correctly?”
“Yeah, I can’t believe my own eyes.”
“That guy... is he really the same Ye Bai who was considered a waste?”
“You dare to call him a waste? You’ve got some nerve.”
“I’ve always felt that Senior Brother Ye was hiding his true abilities. It’s only today that I realized he truly isn’t a waste. I must visit him when I have the chance.”
A young disciple’s eyes flashed with admiration, while the others felt nothing but disdain, wondering how such shameless people could exist.
...
...
“Junior Brother, the technique you just used was the Wind and Thunder Fist, right?”
It was only halfway up the mountainside that Su Xue seemed to have just snapped out of her astonishment, her gaze complex as she looked at Ye Bai.
Scratching his head, Ye Bai pondered for a moment before saying, “Yes, it was the Wind and Thunder Fist, but I accidentally comprehended the conception, so it looks a bit different.”
Su Xue: “...”
Staring at Ye Bai in astonishment, Su Xue’s mouth carried a hint of bitterness. After a long while, she said, “Junior Brother Ye, you... you truly are a monster.”
Wide-eyed, Ye Bai nervously replied, “Eldest Senior Sister, you won’t distance yourself from me because of this, right? That won’t do. If you distance yourself from me, I won’t teach you today.”
Pfft!
Unable to hold back, Su Xue pursed her lips and smiled. The previous bitterness and complexity faded away, her beautiful eyes glimmering as she said, “It’s precisely because of your talent that the I won’t distance myself from you. You don’t need to worry.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Ye Bai’s face revealed a contented expression, and he hinted, “As long as Eldest Senior Sister is by my side, I am satisfied with everything.”
Su Xue blushed and lowered her head, her voice was soft as a mosquito, “Junior Brother, your talent is so high, your comprehension of conception comes effortlessly. Given some time, you will have a broader space, and naturally, you will encounter even more outstanding women...”
“Eldest Senior Sister, you don’t need to worry about that. Am I the kind of person who easily changes his mind? From the moment I met Eldest Senior Sister, I have already fallen in love. Through the vicissitudes of life, my heart remains unchanged!”
Ye Bai’s gaze was sharp, his tone resolute, and his expression radiant.
Initially, Su Xue was somewhat flustered, but she was immediately influenced by his demeanor. Then, she lowered her head, and her eyes shimmered with excitement.
“Okay!” A soft voice escaped her rosy lips.
If Ye Bai didn’t have good hearing, he probably wouldn’t have heard it at all.
But he heard it, and was instantly filled with joy. Following that, he did something that even he hadn’t expected.
Extending his hand, Ye Bai suddenly embraced Su Xue, and then happily spun around.
Their bodies were intimately close, yet surprisingly, Ye Bai had no impure thoughts at that moment, only happiness.
Su Xue’s face showed a hint of anger, and at first, her body was tense. However, seeing that Ye Bai didn’t make any further advances, her mood relaxed slightly, but her body remained unable to fully relax.
Fortunately, Ye Bai quickly realized his rudeness, He awkwardly smiled and released Su Xue, “Eldest Senior Sister, um, I’m sorry. I... I was just too excited. I won’t do it again next time.”
A rosy glow spread across Su Xue’s face, and her mood suddenly blossomed like a beautiful flower, becoming incredibly wonderful.
The atmosphere quieted down once again, and the two continued walking for a while. Then, Su Xue suddenly asked, “Junior Brother, at which level of Qi Condensation have you reached now?”
“Well...” Ye Bai hesitated, worried that it would bring even more astonishment.
Too much astonishment piled up together wouldn’t be a good thing.
Thinking of this, Ye Bai could only conservatively say, “I have already reached... the third level of Qi Condensation.”
“Third already?! You are so fast!” Su Xue widened her beautiful eyes, exclaiming in disbelief.
Ye Bai chuckled and said, “How can you say a man is fast?”
However, Su Xue stared at him with an incredulous gaze and said, “Junior Brother Ye, how exactly did you cultivate? It has only been a few days, and you have already broken through to the third level of Qi Condensation! You... you...”
Seeing Su Xue so shocked that she couldn’t speak, Ye Bai was glad he didn’t reveal everything.
If he had mentioned that he had already reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation, Su Xue would probably have been so frightened that she would have fainted, doubting if he was even human.
Ye Bai coughed, feeling somewhat embarrassed, “Eldest Senior Sister, there’s no need to be so surprised.
Actually, I just casually practiced, and accidentally made a breakthrough. Of course, I also made myself quite miserable.”
As Su Xue thought about Ye Bai’s pitiful appearance that day, coupled with what he had said about practicing too intensely, she hadn’t taken it seriously at the time. But now, she realized that Ye Bai was probably not lying.
Looking at Ye Bai with a complex gaze, Su Xue suddenly said, “Junior Brother Ye, no matter what, you must protect yourself. Because now I believe that you are the hope of our Heavenly Sword Sect. With you here, I believe that one day, our Heavenly Sword Sect will regain its former glory!”
“It’s not just me, the revival of our sect also needs you!” Ye Bai smiled faintly and boldly held Su Xue’s soft hand.
Whether it was due to being shocked or because she had completely fallen for Ye Bai, Su Xue surprisingly didn’t struggle and allowed Ye Bai to gently hold her hand.
