Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 301 - Xu Yining

Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Xu Yining

She wore the Green Cloud Sect attire.

Among the True Thunder Sect disciples, she stood out like a sore thumb.

The elegant light green long dress perfectly outlined her captivating curves.

Her delicate face, without any makeup, was stunning enough to amaze everyone.

Amidst the True Thunder Sect disciples,

she stood out like a crane among chickens.

Several Desires Sect disciples couldn’t help but notice her.

Ji Ruyue’s eyes brightened, and she genuinely praised, “What a beautiful junior sister.”

“Even in our Desires Sect, she would be one of the top beauties.”

The Desires Sect was known for its handsome men and beautiful women.

But the beauty of the woman before them still carried an unsurpassed allure.

Ji Ruyue looked again and again, liking her more with each glance.

Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and she turned to Jiang Fan, saying, “Senior Brother, do you like this junior sister?”

“If you do, how about I help you make a connection?”

All along the way, Jiang Fan hadn’t spoken to them.

Ji Ruyue hadn’t gotten a chance to make his acquaintance.

Now seemed like a good opportunity.

Jiang Fan felt both amused and helpless, his tone slightly complex as he said,

“No need, there’s no fate between us.”

Huh?

Ji Ruyue, being perceptive, immediately sensed something amiss and probed, “Senior Brother, do you know her?”

Jiang Fan’s gaze also turned complex: “We more than just know each other.”

If it weren’t for her saying, “I would rather die than marry Jiang Fan,” in the past,

their lives might have taken completely different paths.

So, they did know each other!

Just as Ji Ruyue wanted to investigate further, Elder Ling spoke up: “So it is a Dao friend from True Thunder Sect!”

She let out a small breath of relief.

In the True Thunder Sect group, the one sitting at the front on a horse was a bald middle-aged man with a black lightning mark on his forehead.

He had pale skin and no hair on his body.

Not even eyebrows!

He looked strange.

But the aura he exuded was imposing.

“So it is Elder Ling!” he said with a smile. “I thought there was a great treasure appearing here.”

His face carried a smile.

But his peripheral vision was fixed on the water droplets on the ground, full of suspicion.

From their distance, they could clearly see the miraculous scene of the clouds falling.

Unexpectedly, they found the Desires Sect group upon rushing over.

Elder Ling chuckled, “If there were a great treasure, would I still be here waiting for you to arrive?”

“I would have long taken the treasure and fled.”

Well…

The bald middle-aged man thought for a moment and then asked,

“So what happened here just now? Does Elder Ling have any clues?”

Elder Ling smiled wryly and shook her head, “I also wish to know.”

“The phenomenon of clouds falling, I’ve never heard of it.”

“Elder Jin, if you have any clues, please be honest and share them.”

Jiang Fan listened to the two of them deflecting.

He found it secretly amusing.

Neither of them had any clues, and even if they did, they would never share with each other.

Elder Jin realized he had asked a superfluous question.

Unwilling to give up, he kept searching among the water droplets on his horse.

Only when the droplets had completely evaporated did he sigh and return, saying, “It seems it was just a natural phenomenon.”

He looked at Elder Ling and then at the six disciples in the carriage.

Elder Jin’s eyes flashed, and he smiled, “Elder Ling, are you taking your disciples to participate in the Sword Forest Dao Enlightenment at Myriad Swords Sect?”

“I am too. How about we go together?”

Elder Ling cupped her hands and said, “I appreciate Elder Jin’s kindness.”

“But my disciples are all delicate; they can’t travel hastily.”

“You go ahead so as not to delay you.”

The Desires Sect disciples exchanged glances, all looking puzzled.

They didn’t understand why Elder Ling refused.

The western route was unsafe nowadays; combining the two sects would undoubtedly be safer.

Ji Ruyue, however, knew the situation and whispered, “Don’t misunderstand Elder Ling.”

“She is protecting us.”

“That bald man is not a good person.”

Oh?

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but glance at Xu Yining.

His eyes showed a trace of worry.

Ji Ruyue lowered her voice even further and said,

“He is Jin Yunlie, the Great Elder of the True Thunder Sect!”

“There were two instances where he undertook missions with other sect experts, and the rest of the team was wiped out, but he returned alive.”

“Since there were no survivors, the matter was left unresolved.”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill.

Now they understood why Elder Ling had refused without hesitation.

This Jin Yunlie had a notorious record!

One instance of a total wipeout with him being the sole survivor could be chalked up to luck.

But twice?

Could it still be luck?

Jiang Fan became more worried. With someone so devious, was Xu Yining really safe in his group?

He had promised Li Qingfeng.

If he encountered Xu Yining outside the sect,

he must take good care of her.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Fan’s gaze, Xu Yining looked over.

But once she saw him, her eyes couldn’t leave Jiang Fan’s masked face.

She rubbed her eyes, doubting if she was dreaming, mumbling in a daze, “No.1 Shadow Guard?”

No one knew how much she missed No.1 Shadow Guard.

The one who taught her movement techniques at the Dragon-Rising Path.

The one who saved her life from the Blood Bat Palace Sub-Altar Master.

The one she looked up to and was moved by.

To encounter him here!

Jiang Fan was slightly surprised.

He thought everyone had long forgotten the No.1 Shadow Guard mask.

Yet after so long, Xu Yining still remembered.

Since that was the case, he graciously jumped off the carriage, smiled, and said, “Long time no see, Xu Yining.”

Hearing the familiar voice,

he confirmed it was No.1 Shadow Guard.

Water mist quickly gathered in Xu Yining’s eyes, turning into tears of grievance that rolled down her cheeks.

She dismounted, lifted her dress, and rushed into Jiang Fan’s embrace.

Jiang Fan froze, “What are you…”

Before he could ask, Xu Yining was already crying sorrowfully, “Where did you go?”

“I returned to Lonely Boat City but couldn’t find you anywhere.”

Only she knew how many times she missed No.1 Shadow Guard after joining the Green Cloud Sect.

Especially whenever she felt aggrieved, she would think of No.1 Shadow Guard’s kindness.

This time, she had been overshadowed by Xu Youran and Chen Sinning.

She returned to Lonely Boat City feeling downcast.

Hoping to see No.1 Shadow Guard one more time, then gather herself and set out anew.

But the Dragon-Rising Path had long been closed.

The familiar stairs had unknowingly gathered a layer of dust, and a few small spiders quietly wove webs in the corners.

On the street where he once saved her,

the granny selling cakes was still there, and the children were still chattering around the old man making sugar figures.

Everything seemed like it was just yesterday.

Except the figure of No.1 Shadow Guard was missing.

As it turns out, things had changed while people had remained the same.

The world was vast, but she had no place to return to.

So she traveled far away.

Listening to Xu Yining crying louder in his embrace, Jiang Fan felt at a loss.

In the Xu Mansion for ten years,

it was his first time seeing Xu Yining cry so heartbreakingly.

After hesitating for a moment, he gently patted her back and said,

“Don’t cry.”

“Your master, Elder Li, is very worried about you.”

Hearing this, Xu Yining’s tears finally stopped a little, and she looked ashamed:

“I left willfully, causing trouble for my master.”

“After returning from Myriad Swords Sect, I will go back to Green Cloud Sect.”

Jiang Fan felt relieved.

He glanced at the True Thunder Sect disciples and said, “Join me for the journey.”

“It will be easier for us to look after each other.”

Xu Yining smiled through her tears, nodding repeatedly, “Okay.”

This was exactly what she wanted.

“Junior Sister Xu, are you just going to leave like that?”

Yet a handsome disciple beside Jin Yunlie raised an eyebrow:

“Don’t forget, we saved your life!”
