Chapter 1180: Chapter 511_2

"Ah?" Chen Kangbao didn’t understand, what was meant by his side mission.

"According to tradition, we will have to go check out Shiwan Mountain eventually.

Hengshan and Feng Tie are very interested in the Shiwan Mountain.

They even agreed that after kidnapping Shen Lingxuan, the three of them would go together to the palace in that area, and after dual cultivation is completed and breakthrough to Sky-level Soldier Commander is achieved, they would explore again."

"Tsk tsk, even my son-in-law Qi Yuan’s wife is someone they want to kidnap, this flower-picking thief does not want to live!"

"They also agreed to meet at the Xian Yun Temple in five days to discuss how to kidnap Shen Lingxuan."

"They wish upon a star."

Qi Yuan said indifferently.

...

"Miss, your husband... he’s gone."

Zhi Shuang’s eyes were filled with anxious expression as she stood on the flatboat, handing a letter to Shen Lingxuan.

Her appearance was cool and beautiful, but standing in front of the miss, that cold aura was completely overshadowed.

The miss’s coldness was bone-chilling.

"A delicacy of the world?" Shen Lingxuan looked at the letter with a calm expression.

"It must have been that Chen Kangbao who took the young master away, it’s just... I don’t know how Chen Kangbao managed to do it," Zhi Shuang speculated.

"Investigate Chen Kangbao’s identity, if... there’s no harm intended towards Qi Yuan, let this matter be for now," Shen Lingxuan said indifferently.

As long as Qi Yuan didn’t encounter danger, things would proceed as they would.

"Alright." Zhi Shuang nodded and hurriedly left.

Shen Lingxuan held the letter, her thoughts complicated, "With... Spirit Guards, he should be safe."

She knew many secrets, as well as some of Qi Yuan’s father’s secrets.

At first, Qi Yuan’s father disappeared mysteriously, then reappeared suddenly, gave Qi Yuan something, and then perished.

According to what Shen Lingxuan knew, Qi Yuan’s father had left something to protect Qi Yuan’s safety.

"According to Heaven’s Mandate, we are fated, only this fate..." Shen Lingxuan’s thoughts were complex.

She married Qi Yuan, not only because of Qi Yuan’s father but also because of Heaven’s Mandate.

The will of Heaven was elusive and inscrutable.

Even in her previous life, Shen Lingxuan couldn’t fathom it.

Just then, a flatboat approached Shen Lingxuan, with a young man in a green robe standing quietly on it. When he saw Shen Lingxuan, his eyes held an appreciative look.

"Junior Sister, it has been many days. Your cultivation level has become even more profound."

The visitor was named Xie Danran, a True Disciple of Heavenly Sect, and also ranked among the top three True Disciples. Young in years, he had already become an Earth-level Army Commander just after his thirtieth birthday.

His gaze towards Shen Lingxuan didn’t conceal his admiration and love.

"I heard that the number one flower-stealing thief, Grandmaster Hengshan, has come to the Artificer Convention for Junior Sister. Hearing this news, your Senior Brother was very worried.

Grandmaster Hengshan is cunning and malevolent. Junior Sister, you are only a Profound-level Soldier Commander. If you accidentally encounter Grandmaster Hengshan, you might be kidnapped without any chance for warnings.

I am currently patrolling Yesan Lake. How about Junior Sister comes with me?

Although I am not as strong as Grandmaster Hengshan, I can resist him somewhat and call for reinforcements from the sect," Xie Danran’s voice was scholarly, and his words were full of love.

"Senior Brother, I already have a husband and should maintain a distance from other men, thank you for your kindness," Shen Lingxuan’s voice was ice-cold, pushing people thousands of miles away.

Xie Danran’s expression changed slightly, anger already brewing in the depth of his eyes, "Junior Sister, I went in seclusion for three months, and you got married. Is it because, before I secluded myself, I angered you, and you married Qi Yuan in haste just to spite me?"

"..." Shen Lingxuan’s shoulders trembled slightly, "Senior Brother... you’re really speechless. My marriage to my husband is the will of Heaven, and it has... nothing to do with you."

The aloofness in Shen Lingxuan’s words was clear.

"Please leave, Senior Brother. I’m afraid of causing a misunderstanding with my husband."

"You... aren’t you afraid that Grandmaster Hengshan will kidnap you?" Xie Danran was furious, "If you were kidnapped, do you know what would happen to you? Can your worthless husband protect you?"

"Please leave!" Shen Lingxuan waved her hand, and Xie Danran’s flatboat retreated violently.

Xie Danran stood on the boat, his fists clenched, and a fierce flame brewed in his heart.

"A Profound Yin constitution, this is a Profound Yin constitution, how can I let that worthless man enjoy it!"

...

Xian Yun Temple was located on Southeast Mountain, a deserted and dilapidated small temple.

There was a decrepit pavilion made of marble outside the small temple.

At the moment, a light, persistent rain fell on Southeast Mountain, and Shen Lingxuan, dressed in blue, sat outside the pavilion, lost in thought as she watched the rain.

Hidden within the rainwater seemed to be a hint of Sword Intent.

After the rain stopped, this Sword Intent would take form, releasing the strongest sword strike.

Shen Lingxuan sat in the pavilion, her expression icy cold, seemingly merging with heaven and earth.

If someone passed by outside, they would not have noticed her presence.

At this moment, the aura she emitted was not that of a Profound-level Army Commander but, astonishingly, that of an Earth-level Army Commander.

Just then, amid the curtain of rain, the figures of an old man and a young man appeared, the young man holding a paper umbrella, stepping in the mud, splashing water around.

"Is it him?"

Upon seeing the young man, Shen Lingxuan was slightly taken aback.

This young man, she had encountered near Kunling Ferry before, and had also seen him at the Ghost Market.

Was he really coming here now?

Her expression suddenly turned even colder.

At this very moment, those hurrying to the Xian Yun Temple... weren’t they all the bandits connected with the flower-picking thief from Hengshan?

What those villains were plotting, Shen Lingxuan was well aware.

She hadn’t expected this man to be of the same ilk.

Just at this moment, the young man stopped his steps and glanced at the pavilion, "Miss, what a coincidence we meet again, may I come in to take shelter from the rain?"

Shen Lingxuan, upon hearing these words, a trace of astonishment flashed across her beautiful eyes.

He could see me?

One must know that Shen Lingxuan had already reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.

In terms of combat power, although she wasn’t at the level of a Sky-level Army Commander, her realm was higher than that of an ordinary Sky-level Army Commander.

Under the Unity of Heaven and Man, hiding in this pavilion from the rain, it should be impossible for someone to discover her.

Now that she had been discovered, she felt a vague sense of crisis.

"This place is not mine to grant, sir, if you wish to seek shelter from the rain, feel free to come in," Shen Lingxuan said indifferently.

Qi Yuan entered the pavilion and looked at the graceful figure, his expression calm, "Miss, last time I mentioned taking you as a mount, have you reconsidered it?"

"Ah... so cold!" Suddenly, Chen Kangbao felt a bone-chilling coldness.

"Are you with the people of Xian Yun Temple?" Shen Lingxuan asked indifferently.

Originally, her plan was to slowly build momentum, to strike with one sword and severely wound the bandits inside Xian Yun Temple.

Now that she had been discovered, to act now would surely be noticed, and today’s plans had failed.

She felt a sense of danger.

She simply couldn’t see through the man before her.

Perhaps, only by achieving true Unity of Heaven and Man and regaining her past strength, could she see through him.

"How about this, I’ll deal with the people in Xian Yun Temple for you, and you can be my mount, how does that sound?" Qi Yuan extended his invitation once again.

It was rare for him to encounter someone he liked; he wouldn’t let the chance slip away.

Shen Lingxuan’s eyes showed a doubtful look, "Aren’t you in cahoots with them?"

"Not to discriminate based on looks, but with their ugliness, how could they be associated with me?" Qi Yuan replied.

"Young Master, I am also ugly!" Chen Kangbao couldn’t help but say.

"Shut up!" Qi Yuan was speechless, as Chen Kangbao always talked back.

Shen Lingxuan shook her head, "No matter what, I simply cannot become a mount."

"What a pity," Qi Yuan said, somewhat disappointed. He then spoke, "Your Sword Momentum isn’t bad, may I borrow it for a use?"

Shen Lingxuan grew even more wary.

This man before her could even sense her Sword Momentum.

Doesn’t this mean that if he meant to kill her, escaping would be nearly impossible for her?

"Why not."

"Good, you watch."

At that moment, Qi Yuan reached out with a clean palm and grabbed at the air.

The curtain of rain above seemed to come to a halt.

A sword appeared in his hand, grimly cold.

He held the Water Sword, aiming it at a distance.

In an instant, the rain stopped.

The earth shook and the mountains trembled.
