War God Long Ao

"Impossible. Yuyin would never do that."

When it came to Yuyin, Long Ao trusted her one hundred percent.

He had held on for ten years, and Yuyin had done the same.

Not only had Yuyin waited ten years for him, but she had even been willing to ruin her own face for his sake. Would such a woman be fickle and fall for someone new?

Without a doubt, it was impossible.

"Long Ao, anything is possible in this world. My senior sister isn't the same person she used to be. She's seen more of the world. Do you still think she's that same innocent little girl?"

Before Long Ao could speak, Tong Ling'Er continued, "Even if my senior sister is a woman of unwavering loyalty, the Sect would never agree."

"Why?"

At that moment, Long Ao's expression turned frigid, but he forced himself to endure it. He had no idea which Sect Yuyin belonged to or where it was located.

"The Sect has invested heavily in my senior sister's training, so of course, they intend to make use of her. From what I know, the Sect Leader is already making arrangements for her. The man they've chosen is more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Long Ao was no fool; he understood exactly what Tong Ling'Er meant.

The other party was incredibly powerful. Combining this with the black-robed old woman's words, Long Ao had a good idea of what was happening.

'Could he be a Sealed Titled Emperor?'

If that was true, then he was in serious trouble.

No matter what, he had to find Yuyin. Long Ao repeated to himself, 'No matter the difficulty or danger, even if it's a sea of fire, I will jump in without hesitation.'

"'If you never leave me, I will be with you until death.' Is that what you told my senior sister?"

"That's right."

"When my senior sister told me that back then, I was truly envious of the bond you two shared. But after coming to the Celestial State and learning what you've done, I'm incredibly disappointed. So disappointed in you, Long Ao. Do you know why?"

Long Ao didn't need to be told. He knew why.

Ao Xue.

He had stormed the Ghost King Sect alone and stolen the bride in front of the entire world. It would be strange if Tong Ling'Er didn't know about it. Long Ao could even imagine that Yuyin had probably heard about it as well.

It was for this very reason that Long Ao wished he could find Yuyin immediately and explain everything to her face-to-face.

"Long Ao, you claim you'll never leave my senior sister, yet you battled the Ghost King Sect and the Golden Sun Sect for another woman. Let me ask you, do you think you've done right by my senior sister?"

He hadn't. Long Ao had always felt guilty about Yuyin. Regardless of the reason, he had been in the wrong.

Wrong was wrong. More words would be useless.

Back then, Long Ao had truly been devoted to Yuyin, just as the vow said: "If you never leave me, I will be with you until death." But everything that happened with Ao Xue was beyond his control. Was he supposed to not take responsibility for Ao Xue?

Long Ao knew that in this life, there were two women he could never leave.

One was the woman who had waited ten years for him, and the other was the woman he had a duty to protect. Both were equally important.

"Long Ao, since you don't deny it, I want to ask you: How can you face my senior sister?"

Although Tong Ling'Er was resentful that Yuyin had stolen her spotlight, the two were very close. Because of this, it seemed as though Tong Ling'Er was standing up for Yuyin.

Standing up, Tong Ling'Er said leisurely, "Ever since my senior sister was taken to the Sect by our Master, she has thought of you every single day. Her days are spent either in Cultivation or pining for you. She looks completely worn out. No matter who pursues her, you are the only one in her heart."

Long Ao said nothing, merely listening in silence.

"I originally thought the man my senior sister loved must be someone incredible. That's why when Master was leaving this time, I begged and pleaded with her to let me come out and meet the legendary Long Ao. But the reality doesn't live up to the reputation. You've disappointed me greatly."

"I just want to know where Yuyin is."

"Haha! Long Ao, you don't have the right to know. Just as Master said, you're not qualified unless you can reach the Sealed Titled Emperor Realm. But with your talent, that's impossible within three years. And within three years, my senior sister will certainly be married. What's the use in finding her then?"

Forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart, Long Ao knew he couldn't be rash. In the end, reason won out over anger.

"Long Ao, even though what you did was wrong, I don't want to see my senior sister unhappy. It's like I said: with your current strength, what could you do even if you found her? You'd be better off focusing on your Cultivation and striving to reach the Sealed Titled Emperor Realm as fast as possible. Only then will you be qualified to see her."

"I will."

Turning to leave, Long Ao didn't waste any more words. He realized that unless his Cultivation broke through to the Sealed Titled Emperor Realm, Tong Ling'Er would never tell him Yuyin's whereabouts.

Watching his receding figure, Tong Ling'Er suddenly asked, "Master, if senior sister finds out we deceived him like this, she'll surely be unhappy."

The black-robed old woman's figure suddenly appeared. She let out a deep sigh and said, "Your senior sister's constitution is the kind seen only once in ten thousand years. Her Cultivation speed is a hundred times faster than a normal person's. I am very confident that in ten years, your senior sister will become the most dazzling person in our Sect, and even the entire Celestial Martial Continent."

Tong Ling'Er didn't speak. She was truly resentful, but she had to admit that her Master was right. Her senior sister's constitution was one in a million.

"Ling'Er, Master knows you've been wronged, but rest assured, I won't abandon you. Once your senior sister's matter is resolved, I will focus all my efforts on training you."

"Master."

Waving her hand, the black-robed old woman's expression was grim. She said helplessly, "Your senior sister's constitution is very special. If she could get help from other Sects, her progress would be twice the result with half the effort. But if she ends up with this boy, it will only be counterproductive. So, no matter what happens, you must not let him get close to your senior sister."

There's a saying that it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Tong Ling'Er was truly unwilling to separate her senior sister and Long Ao, but she couldn't defy her Master's command. In truth, she knew in her heart that her Master had her own unspoken difficulties.

"Ling'Er, are you going to return to the Sect with me, or will you stay here?"

'Leave? Or stay?'

'If you never leave me, I will be with you until death.'

For some reason, the thought of that vow made Tong Ling'Er's heart tremble. She looked up at her Master and said, "I'd like to stay a few more days to accompany my father. I'll head back on my own later. Master, you don't need to worry about me."

"Alright. Be careful. Your strength is enough to look down on the entire Kyushu Continent, but don't get careless. After all, there are always heavens beyond the heavens, and people who are stronger still. Do you understand?"

Watching her Master's departing figure, Tong Ling'Er suddenly released a terrifying momentum. If Long Ao had been there, he would have been too shocked to speak, because Tong Ling'Er was not a Fusion Martial Artist at all. She was, in fact, a Great Emperor Martial Artist.
