Chapter 258: Chapter 258

"Master..." Princess Ke Xin called out, blushing a bit.

"What are you being shy about? What's the big deal? It's just having some good feelings toward someone, very normal between men and women," Yue Qingling said very unsympathetically.

"That's not it. We're friends." Princess Ke Xin immediately said.

"Friends?" Yue Qingling's gaze was very ambiguous, clearly not believing it.

"My current pursuit is cultivation, pursuing the highest realm of the Gentle Heart Scripture," Princess Ke Xin suddenly became very serious. This attitude and tone left no doubt about her determination for this goal.

"That's true. Cultivation is the proper business. Romance can be put aside for now. When fate arrives, it will naturally come," Yue Qingling nodded. She also didn't want romantic feelings to affect Princess Ke Xin, because Princess Ke Xin had great potential. She was very suited to cultivating this Gentle Heart Scripture and might surpass everyone.

A suitable technique was sometimes more important than talent. No matter how high one's talent, if it wasn't suitable, the results would be half the effort for twice the work. Conversely, if talent was slightly lower but suitable, then it would be twice the result for half the effort.

Princess Ke Xin wasn't just suitable, she was perfectly matched. This Gentle Heart Scripture was practically tailor-made for her. In just these two years, she had already cultivated the Gentle Heart Scripture to the sixth level. The entire Gentle Heart Scripture only had nine levels. Although each breakthrough in the later stages was harder than all the previous combined, this speed was still astonishing.

Yue Qingling was already considered a rare genius, but it had taken her a full ten years to reach the sixth level. Now she was only at the late seventh level, not yet having broken through to the eighth.

From this, one could see how powerful Princess Ke Xin's cultivation speed was.

With the sixth-level Princess Ke Xin, her strength had also advanced by leaps and bounds, possessing mid-King Level strength. Compared to her previous strength, it could almost be called advancing a thousand li in one day.

Although she hadn't reached the perverted level of Guxing and the others, she wasn't weak either. If she really cultivated the Gentle Heart Scripture to its highest level, she wouldn't be weaker than Guxing and the others, one could say she wouldn't be weaker than anyone.

Normally, this would take at least ten more years. However, if there were fortuitous encounters, or if there was a will strong enough to defy heaven, perhaps it wouldn't take so much time.

When Princess Ke Xin made this resolution, she seemed to glance at Xiaoyao intentionally or unintentionally...

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A figure charged straight over, carrying intense killing intent directly toward Xiaoyao's direction, and the attack direction seemed to be aimed at Xiaoyao.

Who was it? Who wanted to kill Xiaoyao?

Princess Ke Xin didn't think about this question. She very directly blocked this attack for Xiaoyao first, because the power of this attack seemed considerable. Without King Level or higher strength, it would be impossible to block it. And Xiaoyao was only at Scholar Level, logically he would have difficulty resisting.

Princess Ke Xin thought exactly this way and first blocked this attack for Xiaoyao. That cloud-like gentle move very tenderly blocked the attack while also appearing very relaxed.

When the attacker was blocked, everyone discovered who this person was. Everyone knew this person, or at least had seen him. He was someone who had appeared quite frequently at this martial arts assembly. His strength might not be top-tier, but he seemed to have a good relationship with one of the hot candidates for alliance leader.

Why this person wanted to kill Xiaoyao was something that puzzled everyone. Even if Xiaoyao hadn't saved their people, there was no need to attack and harm others.

After being blocked, the attacker's body paused and his face darkened. He looked at Princess Ke Xin with eyes full of anger, seeming very angry about being blocked.

He seemed to only glance at Princess Ke Xin once, then ignored her, just staring at Xiaoyao. Those eyes didn't contain anger but hatred - an indelible hatred.

Seeing this hatred, everyone seemed to realize this matter might not be what they had imagined. If it was just about not providing treatment, it wouldn't warrant such hatred.

The attacker wouldn't pause because of everyone's puzzlement, nor would he pause because of Princess Ke Xin's blocking. He immediately launched another killing move. This time, even Princess Ke Xin couldn't block it, because this was already Emperor Level. If Princess Ke Xin forced herself to block, the consequences would definitely be severe.

This also showed that he hadn't used full strength before. Right, to kill Xiaoyao, using King Level or higher strength was already overkill. Now he was showing his true strength, and since Princess Ke Xin couldn't resist this strength, he could naturally ignore her.

However, Princess Ke Xin didn't retreat because of this. She resolutely stood in front of Xiaoyao, preparing to use her strongest technique to block this killing move. But those who understood her knew she couldn't block it. If she really tried to block it, she would be in mortal danger again.

Risking her life to save Xiaoyao - perhaps normally everyone would be surprised, but at this moment it seemed very normal, because Xiaoyao had just saved her life.

However, even if it seemed normal, who in her position would do the same?

Thoughts were all very reasonable and proper, but when it came to actually doing it, not many people could manage it. This was the difference between ideals and reality.

Princess Ke Xin being able to stand in front of Xiaoyao wasn't just because Xiaoyao had saved her - it definitely wasn't that simple.

What would the result be? Would Princess Ke Xin be struck down? Would she be injured?

Of course not. She wasn't even injured. This naturally wasn't because she performed exceptionally, nor because Xiaoyao did anything, but because someone helped her block this attack.

This person was naturally her master - Yue Qingling.

How could they forget that Yue Qingling was right beside them? Would she allow others to harm her own disciple? Definitely impossible. And her strength was sufficient to take this attack with room to spare.

Yue Qingling's strength was far higher than the attacker's. Although both were Emperor Level, Yue Qingling's realm was higher, and her technique foundation was also stronger.

The attacker was repelled. He didn't attack again, just looked at Yue Qingling viciously and said, "Are you going to interfere in this matter?"

"What do you think?" Yue Qingling didn't want to explain and replied casually.

"Good, very good. I alone can't beat you, but I have helpers. Today, I must kill this kid. Whoever blocks me will be killed without mercy." The attacker gritted his teeth with great determination to kill. This hatred must be significant. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novᴇlfire.net

"Feng Chi, don't think you can act recklessly just because you've connected with Ten Thousand Swords Sect. People from Gentle Breeze Manor won't fear you," Yue Qingling said disdainfully. So what if it was Ten Thousand Swords Sect? Gentle Breeze Manor wouldn't be afraid. Moreover, would Ten Thousand Swords Sect become enemies with Gentle Breeze Manor for this person?

No, they wouldn't even normally, and now Ten Thousand Swords Sect was competing for the alliance leader position and needed Gentle Breeze Manor's support, so even less likely.

"Yue Qingling, do you think you can represent Gentle Breeze Manor? No matter what, I'm still a sect master. Even if I mobilize my sect's people, I can take you down." the attacker said viciously, and his determination in his words was considerable, he would definitely do such a thing.

Right after he finished speaking, he immediately sent out a signal, summoning his sect members to help.

Yue Qingling frowned. Currently, only she was here. There weren't many Gentle Breeze Manor people in the vicinity. If the opponent was really determined, the result might be very bad.

The opponent seemed truly resolved to see this through to the end. What exactly was this hatred that allowed him to make such a great determination? There must be something - how exactly had this kid Xiaoyao offended them?

"Xiaoyao, what did you do to him? Kill his parents or steal his wife?" Yue Qingling turned back to ask Xiaoyao, her words still maintaining a relaxed tone. So what if the opponent called for people? She didn't necessarily have to rely only on Gentle Breeze Manor, at most she'd owe some favors.

No matter what, today she was going to protect Xiaoyao, regardless of what it cost, because even if she didn't care, Princess Ke Xin would protect Xiaoyao, and she didn't want anything to happen to Princess Ke Xin.

At this time, Xiaoyao seemed still somewhat puzzled. Looking at Feng Chi, he said, "I don't remember ever knowing you. Your hatred comes from other people, right? Feng Chi... oh right, I know now. You're that someone from Azure Dragon Society... A few months ago, I seem to have had contact with Azure Dragon Society. Right, I killed his son, called something Feng something Hai... is that the person?"

Watching Xiaoyao struggle to recall the incident, Feng Chi's face turned completely black. He never expected that after the opponent killed his own son, he had almost forgotten the matter and couldn't even quite remember his son's name, as if it was a completely unimportant matter.

"..." Not just Feng Chi, but others also found Xiaoyao somewhat speechless. He had killed someone's son but apparently didn't remember it well.

Most importantly, you killed someone's son yet still dared appear here - wasn't this seeking death?

In fact, what made everyone feel even more surprised and speechless was yet to come -

"So you're that Xiaoyao. Good. I want to avenge my son." At this time, another figure emerged, bombarding toward Xiaoyao with what seemed like considerable strength.

Of course, unsurprisingly, he was still blocked by Yue Qingling.

How did another person pop up? Another son? Were the sons they mentioned the same person? If so, that would be interesting.

Of course, obviously this was impossible.

Next, people continued appearing one after another to seek revenge on Xiaoyao, all seemingly having had their sons killed. Just how many fathers did this son have?

Cough cough, that's wrong - just how many people's sons had this kid killed...
