Chapter 192 - Sleep Time
Chapter 192: Sleep Time
The summer heat was intense.
The mountain where the inner sect competition was held was near Tianxuan Sect’s Mengze Lake. The lake water was steaming from the heat, making the air seem to carry a bit of hot wind. Cultivators do not fear the cold or heat, as they are protected by spiritual energy, but at this moment, Jiang Huai, who was sitting in the audience, felt extremely hot. Fortunately, Bai Li was sitting next to him, using a bit of her Ice Dragon power to cool down the temperature around her, making Jiang Huai feel a bit better.
Today was the first day of the inner sect competition. Jiang Huai suddenly missed the past two years when he was directly placed in the top ten by the sect master, avoiding many matches and giving other disciples a chance. Now that he had lost his cultivation, he had no choice but to participate.
This time, Chu Xianning did not come to the competition because Jiang Huai had practiced swordsmanship with her the night before. He showed her the power of the Overlord Art, and Chu Xianning knew that among his peers in Tianxuan Sect, Jiang Huai would no longer have any rivals, so she couldn’t be bothered to come. She has always disliked overly bustling places.
The only reason she came to watch the last inner sect competition was because she was worried about Jiang Huai’s safety.
Although Chu Xianning holds the position of an elder in Tianxuan Sect, everyone knows that Chu Xianning just found a place to settle down. She never involves herself in any of Tianxuan Sect’s affairs.
Now that Jiang Huai was sitting here, many disciples couldn’t help but glance at him frequently. This was because of the recent crazy rumors in the Eastern Region about Tianxuan Sect’s Jiang Huai, who had slain the inheritor of the Refining Yin Demon Gu in Daoji Ancestral Land.
Everyone in the Eastern Region knew that Jiang Huai only had five years of life left, and it was unknown to what extent the numerous life-extending spiritual medicines sent to him could restore his lifespan. But at least everyone knew for sure... he had lost his cultivation.
What a classic opportunity to play the fool to catch the wise, but Jiang Huai was so hot that he just wanted to quickly go back to his room and sleep soundly, preferably by coaxing Bai Li to crawl into bed with him. Her body was ice-cold, and it would be so comfortable to sleep with her in this sweltering summer.
Jiang Huai was drowsy in his seat, while Bai Li leaned against him, quite interested in the sword fights on stage. She was also a sword cultivator, primarily practicing swordsmanship, and secondarily relying on the brute strength of her demon clan physique to fight others. She was clueless about many spells, so now watching these inner disciples, each displaying one or two flashy spells, she found it quite interesting.
“When they call my name, wake me up. I can’t take it anymore.”
