Chapter 20: Miss, You’re too Dramatic

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ji Roufeng was obviously here to look for Xu Lingjun.

However, it was inappropriate for her to just suddenly come looking for Xu Lingjun since with her identity, she had no connection whatsoever with him.

Thus, she specially dragged Li Lei along.

The two of them were good friends. Others may not know it, but how could she not know?

Back then, if it wasn’t for Li Lei, how could she have obtained so much information about Xu Lingjun so easily?

When a person casually sold information about another person to others, either the two were enemies, or they were on such good terms that they didn’t need to care about such complicated courtesies.

However, when Xu Lingjun invited the three of them into his house, Ji Roufeng saw Wang Qingya, who was busy while wearing an apron and slippers.

A slightly dejected light flowed in Ji Roufeng’s eyes.

The rumors about the relationship between Wang Qingya and Xu Lingjun weren’t spread recklessly.

However, ever since Ji Roufeng had been knocked to the ground by Xu Lingjun, her young girl’s heart had been throbbing. At that time, she really hadn’t particularly held herself back. Yet, herself being a martial artist in the True-transformation Tier, to think she was knocked to the ground by a brat who was not even a martial artist.

This was simply impossible, but the impossible had just so happened.

As such, it could only be said to be the fate of the two.

Unfortunately, they were fated to meet but not fated to be together.

The layers of barriers in the sect, the childhood engagement that the other party had, as well as his breakthrough that was so uncoincidental that it seemed coincidental… Hmm… All of the aspects added together sounded like something that would happen to the male and female protagonist of a romance novel.

“I’m here to apologize to you,” After Ji Roufeng sat down, she said softly, “Previously, I asked Li Lei to help me ask if you were willing to join the Riyueming Sect, but after that, I suddenly went back on my words as if I was toying with you. I truly didn’t have such intentions. Now that we’re about to return to the sect, if I don’t personally apologize to you for this matter, I really won’t be able to sleep peacefully even in my dreams.”

“What? But I didn’t…” Xu Lingjun was only halfway through his sentence when someone stepped on his foot under the coffee table.

Opposite him, Li Lei’s face was full of smiles, but the meaning in his eyes was clear…

“Daddy, save me!”

Xu Lingjun could see these words in his eyes.

“Ah, but I didn’t blame you,” Xu Lingjun changed his words.

He recalled that Li Lei had mentioned this matter to him before. It was just that although he had gone to school those few days, he had mainly gone to earn Zhou Qing’s gratitude. He hadn’t entered the classroom at all, so naturally, Li Lei did not have the opportunity to tell him about this matter.

But now, it seemed that he had most likely promised Ji Roufeng back then that he would do it.

If she learned now that he had not accomplished this matter at all, Ji Roufeng might not be friendly with him anymore when they returned to the sect.

Did she once want to invite him to join the Riyueming Sect?

Xu Lingjun looked at Ji Roufeng with a rather strange gaze… He kept feeling that she seemed to have some ulterior motives against him.

However, he was so poor. Other than his extremely attractive appearance, he didn’t have any other advantages.

She was a disciple of a sect, so how could she be so shallow? What could she possibly want from him?

Ji Roufeng said seriously, “No, I know how much I’ve gone overboard. I know how impossible it is for an ordinary person to join a sect. I’ve given you hope and cut it off… If I don’t personally apologize to you, I’ll feel guilty.”

Miss, you’re too dramatic.

Xu Lingjun could only smile wryly and agree.

Wang Qingya had a slight smile in her eyes as she filled their cups with tea from time to time. She put on the demeanor of the hostess, unlike the aloof and reserved female teacher that she was in school.

Zhou Qing, on the other hand, had a nostalgic smile on his face.

He seemed to have remembered something and entered the mode of watching the show while sipping on his tea.

After listening to Ji Roufeng’s following words, Xu Lingjun learned that with the death of Wang Jian, Ji Roufeng had reported this matter to her sect.

Obviously, Guo Xu had very likely asked Ji Roufeng and the others for help.

The demonic beast wasn’t weak, but it wasn’t necessarily that strong. It was just that its movements were too secretive and cunning, which was why it hadn’t been caught yet.

If Ji Roufeng and the others could make a move, they would be able to catch the demonic beast even faster!

Ji Roufeng had asked the sect about this matter.

Unfortunately, the sect responded that the Empire’s government would handle this matter. It wasn’t their place to take action on such a small matter. It was only right to bring the disciples back first. One had to know that they naturally hadn’t just taken in five disciples this time. The Riyueming Sect had cast a wide net, snatching countless disciples from the various schools.

When the entrance ceremony began later, if these five people did not arrive, it was inevitable that they would feel left out.

Naturally, they could not let the hearts of the new disciples become estranged.

Ji Roufeng said softly, “I know that you guys are good friends, so I specially brought him here to let you guys meet up. Once Li Lei enters the sect, I’m afraid he won’t be able to leave the mountain any time soon.”

“Thank you very much, Miss Ji,” Xu Lingjun looked at Li Lei and asked, “You guys are leaving in three days?”

Li Lei nodded and said seriously, “Don’t worry, Xu. I know how much I owe you this time. We’ve known each other for so many years, so there’s no rush for me to repay the favor, right?”

Xu Lingjun smiled and said, “Why are we talking about this with our relationship? I’ll contact Guo later. The three of us should have a final gathering.”

He gave Guo Zheng a call.

Unfortunately, although Guo Zheng wanted to come, the news of the demonic beast having infiltrated Qingzhou City had already spread. Now, the entire Qingzhou City had been cordoned off, and they were advised to stay home. As such, Guo Xu would not allow him to go out no matter what.

The few of them enjoyed a meal at the Xu residence.

After tasting Wang Qingya’s cooking, Ji Roufeng’s eyes dimmed even more.

Other than her martial arts skills, she had been completely crushed.

After the meal, Xu Lingjun sent them out.

The streets had become much quieter. The residents obviously knew that a demonic beast was lurking in the city, so they didn’t dare to go out.

Zhou Qing comforted them, “Don’t worry. The Armed Police Department has issued a military order that they will behead the demonic beast within three days. Although Qingzhou City doesn’t have an army, the police force is still very sufficient!”

Xu Lingjun nodded.

After sending them off, he turned back and returned home.

As Wang Qingya tidied up the dining table, she stared at Xu Lingjun and said seriously, “Don’t go out for a few days, understand?”

“Yes, I understand. It’s just a demonic beast. No matter how deep it hides, it can’t hide from a thorough search. Sister Yaya, you don’t have to worry.”

Wang Qingya nodded.

Indeed… It was just a demonic beast. It was fine if it didn’t hurt humans, but once it did, its thirst for humans would increase tremendously. It wouldn’t be able to hold back for long.

They weren’t afraid that it would hurt people, rather, they were afraid that it wouldn’t.

The entire city of Qingzhou City was under martial law now. As long as it showed itself, it wouldn’t be able to escape.

On the evening of the next day, the night was dark.

There was no one on the deserted street. The shops that were usually bustling had all closed their doors.

Only the street lamps cast rays of cold light, elongating the shadow of one of the pedestrians.

The person walked in a hurry as if he was anxious to return home. His heavy footsteps echoed in the air as if someone else was walking on the same road as him.

He kept looking left and right along the way, with an expression of unease on his face.

Suddenly, in the shadows where even the street lamps couldn’t reach, a black whip slowly emerged from the flat wall like a flickering shadow. With a strong leap, it left a series of afterimages under the light and rushed straight towards the person.

“As expected of a beast, it fell for it just like that!!!” In the distance, there was a sudden cry.

With lightning speed, the deputy chief of the Armed Police Department, Yuan Tianqing, let out a long cry. In the blink of an eye, he had already flown past several rooftops and rushed to the front… Seeing the person fleeing helter-skelter, able to dodge the first attack but unable to dodge the second, he shouted, “Lin Tao, quickly retreat!”

Yuan Tianqing was an expert in the True-transformation Tier. He turned all the true qi in his body into substance and struck down with his palm.

A loud bang sounded.

The black shadow was heavily struck and it was directly smashed onto the ground… However, it moved as if nothing had happened and quickly fled in the direction it came from.

“Don’t let it escape!”

“Kill!”

From afar, the slower crowd had caught up in time.

They had completely surrounded the demonic beast.

When they saw its face, some could not help but be stunned as they cried out, “It’s the bone-splitting lizard!”

“The more so we can’t let it escape,” Yuan Tianqing’s expression was cold and stern as he blocked in front of it..
