Chapter 336. I refuse to live and fly together with a man.
Fang Zhou knew very well that the grudge between the two of them was impossible to resolve in this lifetime, unless they turned enemies into friends and let bygones be bygones.
Actually, there was no need for things to escalate to this level. If either one took a step back, the situation could be perfectly resolved.
Unfortunately, neither Fang Zhou nor Xuan Ling were the type to back down from a confrontation; both preferred gentleness over force, and neither would admit defeat.
However, for now, Fang Zhou had the upper hand. As long as he held onto the Image Keeping Stone, Xuan Ling wouldn’t dare to stir up trouble openly, providing a period of peace.
If it followed a typical storyline, he might even use the stone to coerce Xuan Ling into doing some perverse acts, like leaving signs of battle all over Heavenly Sword Sect.
But Fang Zhou was a pure and kindhearted person, so naturally, he wouldn’t engage in such evil deeds; the stone was just for self-defense and collection purposes.
After Xuan Ling left, Fang Zhou also departed, flying into the air, and soon found Du Ruxue and the others.
After busying himself in the gourd space for several hours, only a short while had passed outside.
The unconscious Qiao Sen had been arranged to rest quietly, while Du Ruxue, Yu Qing, and Gou Cheng sat together, resolving their queries.
Seeing Fang Zhou return, the three instinctively stood up. Seeing he was alone, Yu Qing asked with curiosity, "Where’s Xuan Ling?"
Fang Zhou chuckled, "After I gave her a good scolding, she finally realized her mistake, felt very ashamed, and went back to reflect on her actions."
