Chapter 2613 Unexpected Visitor
In the sea of clouds, Leng Qingxue said, “Xiaoxi, if you wish to reach the Supreme Saint Stage, you must possess an unshakable and untainted heart. In my view, while your heart is pure, you lack worldly experience. I’m taking you to slay monsters, and what happens from here on depends entirely on you. No matter that danger you face, I will not intervene. Do you understand?”
Xiaoxi nodded solemnly. “I won’t disappoint you, Master.”
“Whether I’m disappointed or not doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you don’t disappoint yourself.”
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at a perilous mountain range shrouded in blood mist. Since ancient times, this had been a land of savage beasts and roaming dangers. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare step half a foot into it without the protection of a powerful master. For Fengwu Academy, however, this place served as a natural training ground for tempering its disciples.
“Go, slay ten little demon beast kings at the initial True Saint Stage. Only then will you be considered to have passed this trial.” Leng Qingxue said, pointing into the distance.
Xiaoxi nodded and transformed into a streak of divine light, soaring into the mist-covered mountains like a shooting star.
“Was that not too tough on her?”
As soon as Xiaoxi disappeared, Nie Qingrong appeared out of nowhere, her expression tinged with worry as she gazed toward where Xiaoxi had vanished.
“This was her request.” Leng Qingxue said softly, a touch of sentiment surfacing on her elegant face. “That child has great ambition and sees Brother Lin as her role model. Though she’s never spoken of it, I know she simply wishes that, when they meet again, he will recognize her strength and not be disappointed in her.”
Nie Qingrong paused in surprise, then murmured, “I understand now.”
“Sister, if Lin Xun never left the Fifth Heaven Domain, where could he be now?” Leng Qingxue couldn’t help but ask.
It had been more than a year since they had last seen him. Roughly half a year ago, she, Nie Qingrong, and Xiaoxi left the cave thousands of feet deep beneath the icefield. After traveling and searching far and wide, they eventually decided to settle in Fengwu Academy.
