Chapter 1706: Chapter 1706: You Are Not Worthy of Him!

A black figure shot out from one of the halls of the Black Tortoise Sect, swiftly heading towards the southern gate.

The black figure was a handsome man in his thirties with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. At this moment, his handsome face was filled with anxiety and anger. Googlᴇ search novel✶fire.net

“Junior Sister Mingyue!”

The handsome man exited the southern gate of the Black Tortoise Sect and, seeing Baili Mingyue embracing Fang Bai, his eyes instantly filled with blood, he stopped in his tracks and shouted loudly.

He was also a strong one at the first stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, but his martial artist aura was clearly stronger than that of other disciples of the Black Tortoise Sect, evidently possessing more strength.

His loud shout was like rolling thunder, exploding in the ears of Fang Bai and Baili Mingyue.

Fang Bai and Baili Mingyue slowly separated from their embrace and turned their heads to look in his direction.

Baili Mingyue frowned slightly upon seeing the handsome man and asked coldly in a tone that kept others at a distance of a thousand miles: “What do you want?”

Senior Brother Li pointed at Fang Bai, stepping forward step by step, and asked harshly.

“He’s my man, so what?”

Baili Mingyue replied without hesitation.

Senior Brother Li seemed very agitated and said loudly, “Junior Sister Mingyue, you’re lying to me! This person is older than me, not as good-looking, and only has a Half-Step Thunder Tribulation Cultivation… Now that you are also a strong one at the first stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, how could you possibly be interested in him?”

Baili Mingyue giggled and said to Fang Bai, “You scoundrel, did you hear that? My senior brother is belittling you to nothing!”

Fang Bai sighed, “What your senior brother says seems to make some sense… He’s tall, handsome, and extraordinary, young and almost reaching the edge of the second stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, better than me in every way. So why did you fall for me?”

Baili Mingyue secretly pinched him, then laughed, “Who can clearly say anything about fate? I just like you, old man, so what? Let me tell you, you’ll never escape my grasp in this lifetime!”

Seeing the two of them flirting right in front of him, Senior Brother Li was so angry that he almost spat blood.

Senior Brother Li, named Li Sheng, was among the younger generation of disciples in the Black Tortoise Sect, entering the sect early and being an outstanding talent. His cultivation was also the closest to the second stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

Everyone in the Black Tortoise Sect knew about Li Sheng’s affection for Baili Mingyue. Although he had many rivals, considering all aspects, many believed he was the most suitable match for Baili Mingyue.

Even Li Sheng himself believed that Baili Mingyue would ultimately belong to him.

Although Li Sheng’s repeated expressions of affection had been decisively rejected by Baili Mingyue, he had not been discouraged, firmly believing he would win her heart sooner or later.

However, what Li Sheng never expected was that just now, while he was cultivating in the hall, a junior brother suddenly reported that Junior Sister Mingyue was embracing a stranger, looking very intimate.

At first, Li Sheng didn’t believe it, but when he saw the scene before him, he was instantly furious, overwhelmed with rage.

“This outsider who appeared out of nowhere, I don’t know what kind of enchantment he cast on Junior Sister Mingyue, but it has made her so intimately close to him!”

If looks could kill, at this moment, Fang Bai would have been pierced through the heart by ten thousand swords from Li Sheng.

Li Sheng looked at Fang Bai with intense hostility, his face terrifyingly grim, his fists tightly clenched, wishing he could crush Fang Bai with a punch.

Baili Mingyue, sensing the murderous intent surging around Li Sheng, worried he might harm Fang Bai, protectively stood in front of Fang Bai like a mother leopard, sternly warning, “Senior Brother Li, if you dare touch him, I won’t let it slide!”

Seeing Baili Mingyue protect Fang Bai so fiercely, treating himself like an enemy, made Li Sheng even angrier, and he shouted, “Junior Sister, you’re turning against me for an outsider?”

Baili Mingyue said seriously, “I’ve said, he’s not an outsider, he’s my man!”

After a pause, she continued, “Senior Brother Li, I’ve always respected you and regarded you as an elder brother. But… if you dare harm Fang Bai, I won’t be polite to you!”

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng felt his heart being shredded, murmuring, “All I wanted was to be your Martial Dao companion, yet you see me as a brother… Heh… Hahaha…”

He let out a few tragic laughs, his gaze fixated on Baili Mingyue, then said: “Junior Sister Mingyue, you should know, I’ve always liked you. For you, I’ve rejected many other female disciples’ affections; for you, I’ve trained harder than anyone, just to have the qualifications to stand before you. Even if you repeatedly reject me, I have never given up hope…”

He suddenly showed a pleading expression, lowered his voice, and said humbly: “Junior Sister Mingyue, what exactly have I done wrong that I can’t win your favor? Tell me, and I will change for you… okay?”

Baili Mingyue glanced at Fang Bai to ensure he wasn’t upset, then breathed a sigh of relief and stamped her foot at Li Sheng, saying, “Senior Brother Li, give up! I’ve never liked you! No matter what you do, I won’t like you!”

Li Sheng took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart, fixed his gaze on Fang Bai, and said in a deep voice, “My junior sister has already advanced to the Thunder Tribulation Realm, while you’re just a mere Half-Step Thunder Tribulation, you don’t deserve her!”

Fang Bai smiled and said, “Then what?”

Li Sheng said, “As long as you leave Junior Sister Mingyue, any condition, I can fulfill it!”

Fang Bai laughed, “I want to pass the Ninefold Heavy Tribulations and ascend to immortality, can you do that?”

Li Sheng’s eyes turned sharp, filled with hatred, and said, “You know that’s an impossible thing!”

Baili Mingyue, reunited with Fang Bai after a long time apart, had much to say and didn’t want to waste more words with Li Sheng. She took Fang Bai’s hand and turned to leave.

Baili Mingyue pointed towards the Black Tortoise Peak and whispered, “To the Black Tortoise Peak, I’ll show you a secret.”

Fang Bai knew she was likely referring to the formation disk he left in his previous life and asked curiously, “What secret?”

“It’s a secret for now! You’ll know when we get there!”

Baili Mingyue giggled, wearing a mysterious expression.

Li Sheng watched the two of them walk farther and farther away, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light, clenching his fist, then relaxing it, and after a moment murmured, “Baili Mingyue, you are mine, no one can snatch you away!”

At this moment, a disciple of the Black Tortoise Sect approached, and flatteringly said, “Senior Brother Li, that guy doesn’t know his place, dreaming of something beyond his reach! Should I… go teach him a lesson for you? Or maybe, when Junior Sister Mingyue isn’t around, make him disappear from this world altogether?”

Li Sheng felt tempted but after a moment’s thought, shook his head and said, “No! If that guy disappears, Junior Sister Mingyue will definitely know it’s related to me and might hate me for a lifetime!”

The disciple scratched his head and said, “Then what should we do?”

Li Sheng snorted coldly, saying in a low voice, “I’ll go to the Sect Master to make my case! I don’t believe it, Baili Mingyue is the Black Tortoise Sect’s rare genius disciple, the Sect Master would favor such a mediocre fellow! Hmph, even if they are in love, one word from the Sect Master can separate them!”
