Chapter 286: Waiting
"The most troubling part is that he is so young. I may not even outlive him."
Ji Qingcheng shook her head. Avenging the sect against him was not something she had any possibility of doing.
All she could manage now was to wander the martial world, rob the wealthy to help the poor, and make a small amend for the wrongs and sins Falling God Peak had committed over the years. That was the only thing she could still do for the sect.
Then a thoughtful look appeared in those cold, clear eyes of hers, like the surface of a frozen pool, "Those people were so rich. Once they hand over ten thousand taels of gold tonight, what should I spend it on?"
With that thought she reached to her waist and took out a gray cloth coin purse, opening it.
Inside sat a large silver ingot alongside some broken silver pieces and copper coins.
The purse was one she had taken from the server's waist using her control-of-air ability before leaving the inn.
By all rights, given how badly the server had behaved, Ji Qingcheng, as the victim, would have been entirely justified in killing him. But unfortunately, Ji Qingcheng had no fondness for killing. Even all along the road, encountering bandit after bandit and mountain thief after mountain thief, the worst she had ever done to any of them was strip away their martial arts and break one of their legs. She had not killed a single one.
She was not sure whether this was the right approach, but she chose to follow her heart. Unless one day she was left with no other choice, she did not think she would choose to take a life.
