Chapter 733: The Girl Ah Qing
Tōan Ritsu’s heart tightened. Although he hadn’t felt anything unusual, his instincts screamed that something had gone terribly wrong.
Plop.
The two Jiepeng experts who had attacked slowly collapsed to the ground, lifeless. There was no blood spilled. But their breaths had ceased.
Tōan Ritsu immediately went on high alert as he scanned the surroundings. But he saw no one and sensed nothing. There was no high-energy presence and no fluctuations of power.
“Who’s there?” He spoke in perfect Great Xia dialect.
Then, there was a sound, like the whisper of wind through a bamboo forest.
Shhh... shhh... shhh...
It was the rustling rhythm of footsteps, light as dancing leaves. And then, a girl emerged from the darkness. She wore a simple and unassuming white sports tracksuit from Hongxing Erke.
Yet, the moment she stepped into the dim light, all eyes fell on her. It wasn’t just her presence. It was the fact that, just seconds ago, no one had even sensed she was there.
“Sister Ah Qing!” shouted Li Guorui as his eyes lit up with joy.
Li Guorui knew the girl who was holding a single bamboo twig in her hand standing before him. From the very first time he met Li Xiaofei, this elegant and ethereal young woman had always been by his side.
He still remembered their first encounter. On the bus, he had been utterly stunned when he first laid eyes on Ah Qing. It was as if the creator of the universe had gathered all the spiritual essence of heaven and earth and concentrated it into this one girl.
