Ji Xian speechlessly looked at Xia Lihua, “You’re one to talk, you grabbed more things than me when we were at.. uh, what was it called.. Rising Wood Sec-?”

“It’s Risen Tower Sect!” She immediately corrected him, “They treated their disciples horribly, pushing them around like slaves. They don’t deserve any sympathy. Besides, those Artifacts and Astral pills were just collecting dust. It’s in better hands with us.”

She continued, “And don’t forget you emptied the entire library of the Cryptic Kill Church. At least I had the decency to take only what I need.”

“Cryptic Kill Church…?” Ji Xian looked hesitant, “Which one are they?”

“…”

Xia Lihua’s mouth twitched, “The underground assassin organization.”

Ji Xian had a thoughtful expression but judging from his appearance it was obvious he doesn’t remember.

Suddenly, his mind sparked, “Ohh, are they the ones in the red uniforms with the symbol of a sword inside a reverse triangle?”

Xia Lihua narrowed her eyes when she heard this, “That uniform and symbol are from the Torrent Limbo Sect in the Mortal Haven World.”

“Ah? These two worlds are so similar that I must’ve mixed them up.” Ji Xian awkwardly coughed after realizing he made a slip of the tongue.

“…”

“…”

Xia Lihua stared at him while he innocently looked elsewhere.

Finally, she spoke, “The Torrent Limbo Sect Master came to me once in hopes of assistance. Someone had stolen several of their Cultivation Methods that have been passed down for generations. Until now, that person has not been found.”

“Is that right? What a shame…”

Looking at Ji Xian’s handsome face, she asked, “Have you raided the sects in Mortal Haven?"

He blankly stared at her, “No.”

“Did you also steal from my sect?” She asked

“…No.”

“Ji Xian!”

“…I only remember picking up a few things here and there lying on the ground when I was walking.”

Xia Lihua facepalmed. A bulging vein was visible on her temple.

“You can’t be angry with me.” Ji Xian laughed, “Aren’t you doing the same thing?”

She let out an exhausting sigh, even though his words are true, she can’t help but be annoyed. She glared at him while inwardly fuming.

Asshole, no wonder he was so articulate that day, he wanted to convince me to raid the evil sects with him so he could justify himself when this moment comes. I fell straight into his palms!

“What else did you do? Were you the one who caused the volcanic eruption next to Corrick Hill City?” Xia Lihua aggressively asked. She suddenly felt like all the indescribable events back in Mortal Haven were somehow linked to Ji Xian.

He shook his head, “Natural cause.”

“What about the beast wave that headed towards Twilight Academy?”

“Natural Cause.”

“And the gigantic hole that appeared out of nowhere in the Central Domain?”

Ji Xian silently swallowed his saliva, “I think that was a natural cause.”

“What do you mean you think?!”

Suddenly…

A draconic roar erupted from Xiao Yueyin’s body as they were bickering. The howl sent a shockwave into the sky, dispersing the clouds and the nearby avians while shaking the platform.

When she opened her eyes, they briefly shined with a purple hue before disappearing. As she stood up, the air around her seems to have changed. Her cultivation remained the same, but there was something different about her that was hard to explain.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Ji Xian and Xia Lihua stopped arguing and looked over.

Xia Lihua silently watched Xiao Yueyin without a change in her expression, but, if one looked carefully, her lips were slightly curved upwards.

Suddenly, she felt something and she turned to Ji Xian. He was giving her a knowing look.

“What did you do now?” She asked him suspiciously.

Inscribing new runes required her full concentration so she wasn’t aware of what was happening around her. She didn’t know about his conversation with Xiao Yueyin.

“I was trying to mend a relationship, but whether or not it’ll be successful will be up to you.”

“…”

Xia Lihua had an idea of what he meant.

While they were conversing, Xiao Yueyin walked towards them. Each of her steps was resolute and unwavering.

She stood before Xia Lihua and the both of them exchanged glances. From her eyes, there was no coldness, no competitiveness, instead, Xiao Yueyin was looking at her with familial warmth.

“Sister.”

Xia Lihua shook. It was so subtle that only Ji Xian noticed it. She had once been affected by her bloodline and treated Xiao Yueyin with disdain but she has long since changed her attitude. Although she wasn’t friendly, she wasn’t cold either.

There has always been a strong connection between Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin. Although they weren’t blood-related, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say their relationship transcends that. So far, however, their feelings have been horribly expressed.

Xia Lihua recalled Ji Xian’s words from earlier, in the end, her lips curved into a beautiful smile, “Sister.”

Xiao Yueyin was feeling nervous. Currently, her mindset has changed. She has also been under the influence of her bloodline, treating Xia Lihua as a competitor and a goal she’ll eventually overtake. When she finally realized the true difference in their cultivation, it almost created a mental demon in her heart. But now, she has changed, her bloodline will no longer control her emotions.

When she heard Xia Lihua’s acknowledgment, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

“You can just call me by my name from now on.” Xia Lihua gently pats her head. Similar to Ji Xian, she doesn’t like formalities, she prefers having people call her by her name.

“Lihua...” Xiao Yueyin said nervously, “Then you can just call me by my name as well.”

Xia Lihua nodded, “Yueyin.”

The two of them smiled brightly. Any man or woman would have their breath taken away if they saw this scene.

The two of them simultaneously turned to Ji Xian and looked at him with mixed feelings. He had played a big part in this, but after seeing how smug he currently looked, they felt a tinge of annoyance.

Immediately, they turned away.

“Let’s go,” said Xia Lihua.

She didn’t want to hear any of his narcissism.

Xiao Yueyin nodded. They ignored him and shot off into the sky, leaving him behind by himself.

Ji Xian sighed after seeing their figures disappear into the distance.

“What would this world do without me? I’m solving all their problems. From sealing Chaos Tunnels to preventing war, to bringing two dragons together. I’m doing everything! Looks like I’ll have to reward myself again when we head to the next Sect.”

He suddenly smiled, “Two dragons getting along… I wonder if this has ever happened before…?”

Followed by a gentle laugh, his feet left the platform and he chased after the two women.
