Chapter 2215 - Going Into Battle
Su Yi swept his gaze across the crowd, then focused on the distant spectator stands.
He recognized Lu Qingmei at a glance. She looked just as Yi Daoxuan remembered her: dressed in wide-sleeved, white raiment, with her long, black hair tied up. She looked young and beautiful, with skin as fair and smooth as jade, and her bright eyes sparkled like stars.
She sat there casually, her petite frame emanating heart-palpitating, imposing majesty. She was like a lofty empress presiding over the nine heavens and gazing down upon the masses with pride.
Su Yi knew that she was far more than just a pretty face. She was crafty and volatile; there was no way to tell what she was thinking.
Yi Daoxuan had once been close to her. How staunch and unyielding of a man was he? Yet she’d almost managed to kill him during dual cultivation.
It was obvious how skilled Lu Qingmei was at hiding her true feelings.
Su Yi could tell that Lu Qingmei was looking at him. For a moment, he even caught a clear glimpse of some inscrutable emotion in the depths of her gaze.
Su Yi’s eyes were calm and clear. He took all of this in, then naturally shifted his gaze, paying Lu Qingmei no further heed.
Lu Qingmei’s delicate brow furrowed slightly, but then, she looked away too and sat there in silence.
Meanwhile, Sect Leader Liang Lingxu and Third Elder Ku Zhen had complicated looks on their faces. Xiao Jian’s arrival had triggered uproar throughout the stands. They could now see his prestige and influence within the sect with their own eyes!
They were particularly uncomfortable to hear so many disciples expressing their admiration for him.
Were it possible, they’d have much preferred that Su Yi hadn’t come!
