Under Chu Le'er's affectionate, reluctant gaze, Xu Fan fled without hesitation, as if evading a storm, swiftly escaping the Ice Palace.
Before eting Chu Le'er, Xu Fan considered himself an assassin of young ladies, believing that in any situation, the girl opposite him would be the one blushing, never himself. But after knowing Chu Le'er, even with his impressive martial skills, Xu Fan had to admit defeat at her hands.
Especially as their encounters increased, the ambiguous relationship between them grew. Even Xu Fan found it hard to handle when an enchantress like Chu Le'er let loose.
"No way! How can I suffer defeat at the hands of a woman? I have to show her who's boss!"
Xu Fan was secretly determined when he suddenly noticed a figure in the distance relentlessly pounding an iceberg, causing the enormous ice mountain to tremble and roar under the barrage of punches.
Alongside the roaring of the iceberg were cries of exhaustion echoing through the Polar Ice Land, amidst the raging snow and ice.
"Damn it!"
"That damned thief Xu Fan! One day, I will trample you underfoot!"
"The heavens have eyes, virtues and vices are judged, good is rewarded, evil punished; it's not that there's no retribution, just that the ti hasn't co yet!"
"Oh, heavens! Are you blind, or why haven't you struck down that thief Xu Fan in rage?"
...
Xu Fan initially wore a smiling expression, but by the end, black lines involuntarily appeared on his forehead.
With spiritual power flowing, Xu Fan's figure flickered, and in an instant, he appeared behind Jin Li, delivering a kick to his behind.
Boom!
The iceberg shattered, embedding a figure within its core, and the heartbreaking cries vanished temporarily from the Polar Ice Land.
Bang!
Ice shattered, and Jin Li escaped from the iceberg, furiously shouting, "Who dares? A warrior can be killed but not humiliated, who ambushed ? I, Jin Li, challenge you to a duel to the death!"
At this mont, Jin Li's heart was in utter despair.
The Sect Leader's affections were stolen by the thief Xu Fan, the heavens were blind, unwilling to send down angry lightning to strike the thief, and yet in such woeful circumstances, soone dared to ambush him.
If he doesn't return the kick hard, how can he stand in the Heavenly Witch Sect?
Jin Li was determined that no matter who dared to kick his butt, he, Jin Li, would not rest until he showed why flowers bloom so red!
"Oh? Are you certain you want to challenge to a duel to the death?"
Hearing a sowhat familiar voice, Jin Li slowly turned around, trembling as he looked at the figure standing behind him with hands clasped behind its back.
At first glance, Jin Li's heart surged with enormous indignation!
Xu Fan!
Damn you, Xu Fan, stealing the Sect Leader's heart was one thing, but even after I, Jin Li, have retreated to a place like this, you still won't leave alone?
What made Jin Li even more indignant was the power felt in that kick earlier; he could clearly sense that in the few days since last seeing him, Xu Fan seed... stronger! At least middle stage of the Mysterious Light Realm!
As a Kai Yang Realm expert, ordinary Mysterious Light Realm cultivators, Jin Li would not even spare a glance, but Xu Fan was different! This is soone capable of slaying Kai Yang Realm practitioners while still in the Zhiwei Realm!
The thief Xu Fan continues his vile deeds, should he not face divine retribution? Why is his breakthrough speed so fast? Could it be... the heavens are in cahoots with this thief Xu Fan?
At this mont, under imnse indignation, Jin Li's eyes blurred...
He wanted to cry!
Seeing Jin Li's pitiful appearance, Xu Fan was almost moved to vomit.
A red-faced man, seemingly as loyal and righteous as Guan Yu, with an expression not of facing death, but of grievance, with tears brimming in his eyes, this imnse discordance was nearly unbearable even for Xu Fan.
He sighed lightly, turned away, and in an extrely disappointed tone, said, "Jin Li, I once thought you were a man of honor, even speaking well of you often before the Sect Leader, but I never imagined you would be such a contemptible person, engaging in disgraceful deeds!"
Jin Li was utterly puzzled.
I was emotionally hurt, vented a bit here, only to be kicked into an iceberg by you, how is this engaging in disgraceful deeds?
Is there anyone more aggrieved than , Jin Li?
Ignoring Jin Li's grievance, Xu Fan continued with a look of disappointnt, "Jin Li, you and I know each other well, we've been through hardships together, ask your own conscience, have I, Xu Fan, ever treated you, Jin Li, unfairly? Even before the Sect Leader, I frequently ntioned you."
"No matter how formidable the Sect Leader is, she is ultimately a woman, destined to marry soday. Although I am not part of the Heavenly Witch Sect, I am a friend of the Sect Leader, and naturally hope the Sect Leader entrusts her life to a man of honor. Earlier in the Ice Palace, I discussed this with the Sect Leader, and we've made so progress."
"But I didn't expect that so people, while I might know their face, don't know their heart! Heartless scoundrels revealing their true nature early is a good thing!"
Jin Li's mind buzzed, nearly exploding.
I check my conscience, Xu Fan has never cared for , Jin Li... but seeing this thief Xu Fan's serious, pained deanor, could I have misunderstood him?
Maybe!
Xu Fan is right, he after all isn't part of the Heavenly Witch Sect, and the Sect Leader must marry eventually; if the Sect Leader marries , won't the Heavenly Witch Sect be under my control? And with my camaraderie with Xu Fan, it's also beneficial for him.
But... there seems to be so misunderstanding, in Xu Fan's eyes, I've beco a heartless, treacherous scoundrel...
Xu Fan coldly flung his sleeve, took a stride, and left, "I'm going to tell the Sect Leader that everything I said before was nonsense, lifelong matters can't be influenced by so treacherous scoundrel's sweet talk!"
Jin Li was shocked, without a word, he knelt down with a thud, clinging tightly to Xu Fan's legs.
"Master Xu! It's a misunderstanding! All of it! My loyalty to the Sect Leader, my gratitude towards Master Xu, they are heaven and earth can testify!"
Xu Fan sneered, "Nonsense! Without courage for a fight, clearly it's sweet talk!"
Looking at Xu Fan's stern face, Jin Li was bitter inside.
Xu Fan kindly spoke well of before the Sect Leader, and yet I defad him behind his back, could I really be a treacherous, heartless scoundrel?
No!
All these misunderstandings can be cleared up! All will be resolved!
I, Jin Li, am a man of greatness, how can I fear a battle?
Clenching his teeth, Jin Li stood, "Master Xu's words are enlightening, I, Jin Li, have awakened! How can a brave man fear a fight?"
"Master Xu, please teach !"
Watching Jin Li's death-defying expression, Xu Fan finally nodded in approval, spiritual power surging as his figure flashed, delivering another kick to Jin Li's behind.
Boom boom boom!
The Polar Ice Land echoed with endless roaring sounds...
