Chapter 1274 - 1271: Teasing
Unfortunately, that trace of the Power of Soul was still defeated by the now-strong Xiao Xue!
Zhu Qiu sighed slightly, "Back then, I sealed her superpower precisely because I didn't want today's situation to occur. If she grows stronger again, not just our Shushan Sect, but even if all the Ancient Martial Sects in the world teamed up, they might not be her match."
The 'her' Zhu Qiu referred to was, of course, Xiao Xue!
Speaking of it, it was quite a coincidence. Twenty-four years ago, when Xiao Xue was just born, Zhu Qiu happened to pass by her house.
Xiao Xue's space abilities might not be detectable to other superpower users, but Zhu Qiu was no ordinary person. He was a top figure in the ancient martial arts world, with skills that were astonishing.
Now, Zhu Qiu could wield his sword to perfection, often able to kill from a thousand miles away.
Back in the day, when Zhu Qiu sensed Xiao Xue was a spatial ability user, he was dumbfounded.
At that time, Zhu Qiu thought of ending Xiao Xue's life with a single stroke, but seeing how adorable she was, he decided to spare this child, this newborn baby.
Zhu Qiu used a sliver of his own Power of Soul to seal all the power within Xiao Xue's body.
One must say, Zhu Qiu's power was immensely strong. Even if a strong person discovered the seal within Xiao Xue's body, they likely wouldn't figure out how to help her unseal it. But, to Zhu Qiu's utter surprise, the seal on Xiao Xue was eventually broken.
"Master, you don't need to worry. With our Shushan Sect's power, we can't possibly handle her?" a disciple whispered.
Zhu Qiu shook his head, "Don't underestimate that woman named Xue Xue. Her spatial ability is very formidable. Even if I were to fight her, there's no guarantee of winning."
Hearing this, the disciple couldn't help but feel worried. If that's really the case, then this woman would definitely come looking for trouble, and by then, would Shushan Sect stand a chance against this girl?
"Alright, go gather all our elders, tell them I have urgent matters to discuss," Zhu Qiu sighed, then waved his hand.
No one knows how long it's been since the last great battle, and during this time, Xiao Xue quietly recovered her strength.
"Brother Lin, help me grab my clothes!" shouted Xiao Xue, who was taking a bath.
Xiao Xue was a spatial ability user; with her skill, she would just need to move her fingers to get her clothes. Obviously, early in the morning, Xiao Xue was teasing Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was outside in the hall practicing his skills, and engrossed, he shouted, "Get them yourself; it's just us in this villa anyway."
Xiao Xue yelled from the bathroom, "Lin Chuan, if you don't help me get my clothes, I'll head to Shushan Sect tomorrow. See for yourself if you don't believe me."
Hearing Xiao Xue's words, Lin Chuan couldn't help but shake his head. Every time they bickered these days, Xiao Xue loved to use this line.
I have to say, Lin Chuan really worried Xiao Xue might rush to Shushan Sect; Xiao Xue hadn't fully recovered yet, and even if she had, she shouldn't act impulsively.
"My dear ancestor, I'll get your clothes, alright?" Lin Chuan sighed heavily, then picked up Xiao Xue's underwear from the living room.
Xiao Xue's underwear had quite a personality, being cartoon Doraemon-themed. Lin Chuan was left speechless at the sight.
Lin Chuan carried a few pieces of clothing and handed them inside. Xiao Xue took them, chuckling, "Brother Alin, interested in playing an adult game?"
As she spoke, Xiao Xue revealed her fair chest. Her two rabbits were particularly tempting, high and seemingly elastic.
Even Lin Chuan, seeing such a fine chest, was shocked and his face secretly reddened.
Xiao Xue noticed Lin Chuan's apparent reaction below and burst out laughing, then she quickly shut the bathroom door tight.
"Xiao Xue, you're teasing me again. Be careful you won't get married!" Lin Chuan couldn't help but mumble to himself.
Xiao Xue, dressing in the bathroom, chuckled, "Brother Lin, you saw my body just now. You have to take responsibility. If I can't get married in the future, I'll just marry you."
Hearing this, Lin Chuan was drenched in sweat. If the two of them ever got together, what if one day they fought, Lin Chuan might get beaten up badly.
Well, that's something for the future, Lin Chuan sighed slightly, then sat down outside.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of his good friend, Avril. Once upon a time, they had a small promise between them—to marry when they grew up and to be together forever.
Some say that at seventeen, the girl you like will be the one you love most in your entire life. That statement is really true!
At seventeen, Lin Chuan had already fallen for Avril! Unfortunately, on Avril's birthday, she disappeared overnight. Even her parents suddenly left that small town.
Just as Lin Chuan was deep in thought, Mu Qiu ran in and said, "Sir, I've got news!"
Lin Chuan smiled, "What good news? Tell me."
Mu Qiu laughed, "We've found the location of Shushan Sect!"
As soon as Mu Qiu finished speaking, not only did Lin Chuan's eyes light up, but even Xiao Xue, changing in the bathroom, became interested.
"Where is it?" Lin Chuan quickly asked.
"In the Himalayas. Strange, isn't it? That eerie place, someone dares to live there. It often reaches temperatures below minus tens of degrees," Mu Qiu said, taking out a map. "We learned from someone that Shushan Sect's people come to human towns every six months to buy things. So, we tracked them and finally found their address after several days, those guys who went shopping weren't very strong."
"Well done, Mu Qiu!" Lin Chuan patted Mu Qiu's shoulder.
Mu Qiu laughed, "Although our strength is far from Xiao Xue's, we can still handle intelligence gathering tasks. Actually, we should thank Xiao Xue; without her help, we couldn't have destroyed the Phantom Gate."
Lin Chuan nodded, "Alright, I'll convey your gratitude to Xiao Xue!"
