Chapter 400: Retreat
# 400. Retreat
Yang Cuixue narrowed his eyes and followed the voice to its source. The newcomer was a young man clad in black combat attire, his hair tied in a high ponytail, with a long blade hanging at his lower back.
*He seems… seems familiar…* Just as this thought arose, he heard one of his disciples exclaim behind him, “Xu Qi’an? Why is he here?!”
The speaker was Young Master Liu, who had crossed paths with Xu Qi’an in the capital.
Seeing Xu Qi’an again, Young Master Liu was quite pleased. Back then, their acquaintance had started with conflict, but they had fought and come to understand each other. Though Silver Gong Xu’s first impression wasn’t great—after all, their first meeting had ended with his beloved sword being broken—later events had proved Xu Qi’an’s character.
Despite abducting Miss Rongrong, Xu Qi’an had not taken advantage of her. Upon realising the misunderstanding, he not only apologised but also compensated Young Master Liu with an artefact crafted by Sitianjian.
As Young Master Liu reminisced, he suddenly noticed his sect master gripping his shoulder with an expression of uncontained excitement, eyes blazing as he sought confirmation.
“H-he’s Xu Qi’an?”
Young Master Liu dumbly nodded. “I saw him in the capital. My master recognises him as well.”
