Chapter 901: Rivals Meet and It’s Unpleasant
"Lu Bei resembles someone, but who could it be?" Lin Xi pondered briefly and overlaid the images of Lu Bei and Lu Yi in her mind, then she shook her head, dismissing the thought, reasoning that it couldn’t possibly be such a coincidence.
Suddenly, another clap of thunder pulled Lin Xi back to reality. She ran to the window, anxious about the situation at the Martial Arts Competition, wondering how Jian Shen was faring.
Lin Xi knew that if she went to the Martial Arts Competition, she was bound to run into Qian Feng. She wasn’t afraid of Qian Feng, but she worried that history might be influenced from that point on. According to what Qian Feng had said in the past, after Qian Ye defected from Shennv Xuanhui, Qian Feng and Qian Ye had never seen each other again. If Lin Xi appeared before Qian Feng, what would that mean?
However, Lin Xi was truly worried about Jian Shen. She decided to throw caution to the wind, but as she was about to dash out, she remembered the words of the Life Mask Person. That was, if both Gu Fan and Jian Shen were in danger, whom would Lin Xi choose?
In the end, Lin Xi stopped her stride. She gave up on going to rescue Jian Shen and silently prayed, hoping nothing would happen to him.
"Nothing will happen, nothing definitely won’t happen." Lin Xi remembered the days when Jian Shen lay in Qian Ye’s arms, knowing that it wasn’t today—meaning Jian Shen wouldn’t be in trouble today. Also, Lin Xi didn’t want to rashly appear and meet Qian Feng, thus affecting the future’s trajectory, which could possibly affect Gu Fan.
I’m sorry, but I can only choose one person. I am Lin Xi, and I can only choose Gu Fan. Lin Xi felt agonized inside, knowing that someone she once loved was in trouble, yet she could only stand by and watch.
After a long while, no more thunderbolts cleaved through the sky, but the site of the Martial Arts Competition was pitted and severely damaged in several places. This was a major loss of face for the various factions, especially for the leader of the Martial Arts alliance; it was his territory, after all, and to let a demoness run rampant was humiliating.
Qian Feng still floated in mid-air, looking down from her high position, her gaze filled with disdain, "How about it, Jian Shen? If you reveal Qian Ye’s whereabouts now, I can spare these Martial Arts people."
