Chapter 711 - Warning you

Chapter 711: Warning you

A frog in a well?

Gu Qianlin, being an arrogant woman, did not take kindly to such a condescending tone by a girl who looked no older than seventeen or eighteen. She refused to submit to what she viewed as an insult, even though she knew it was the Tianshan Elder. "I might not have undergone or experienced hardship, but I've seen much in life and there's hardly a thing in this world that I'm not familiar with," she responded.

"Sister…"

Gu Qianxue shook her head and pulled her sister's sleeve to warn her not to be rude to her master. Even if what the elder had just said did not make sense, as a junior, one should still show some courtesy and respect.

But the Tianshan Elder was fond of the arrogant junior who tried to embarrass her. She lifted the corner of her lips into a sly smile and said, "Oh? Is that so? Then can you try explaining to me why all these snowflakes have suddenly stopped falling to the ground?"

"Stop the snowflakes from falling? What kind of joke is this? In this weather, do you think you can stop snow from falling just because you opened your…"

Gu Qianlin tried to argue, but just as she was about to finish her sentence, her voice trailed off. All of a sudden, the snowflakes truly did stop falling, and everything appeared like a still shot. Time and space seemed to have paused right that instant.

"What… What is going on here?"

Gu Qianlin's eyes were wide open. She looked up in the sky, refusing to believe what she was seeing. How could this be so? It was as if there was an invisible field of energy preventing the snowflakes from falling, and they stayed hovering in the air. It was hard to imagine something like this was possible and completely changed her understanding of the world she lived in.

"See? You cannot even explain what you're now seeing, and yet you dare say you've seen everything?"

Tianshan Elder said mockingly before she turned her palm over, and the snowflakes began falling once again. Everything miraculously returned to normal.

Gu Qianlin was in a complete stupor when she realized that this young-looking girl was the one responsible for what just happened. She could control the weather and even immobilize snowflakes in mid-air. It was hard to imagine such an ability existed—it was simply incredible. If she had not witnessed this in person, there was no way she would have believed something like this was possible.

At that moment, Gu Qianxue's eyes were fixed on the human-like snowdrift in the distance, just right in front of the cave. She finally realized that it was someone who was kneeling on the ground without moving, and what shocked her was that he was the man who had a place in her heart.

"Xiao Luo?"

She started running toward him. When she confirmed it was indeed Xiao Luo, her eyes turned red, and she said, "Xiao Luo, what… What are you doing here? Why do you look so pathetic? Get up quickly, stop kneeling on the ground!"

Xiao Luo shook his head and rejected her assistance when she tried to pull him up. He smiled ruefully and said, "There is something that I need your master to help me with."

"What's the matter? Why do you have to kneel in the cold—will you please just get up?"

Tears kept rolling down Gu Qianxue's face. She couldn't bear to see Xiao Luo suffering like this. In her eyes, Xiao Luo had always been a man who was able to overcome anything. So how was it a man like him was kneeling on the ground in front of her? It left her heartbroken.

Xiao Luo shook his head again, and he was not going to waver. He needed her master's help to increase his power!

"Xiao Luo? It's you!"

Gu Qianlin could not have imagined that there was a man inside the snowdrift, and she was even more surprised to find out that it was Xiao Luo. She furrowed her eyebrows and said, "Why is it that everywhere I go, I somehow always end up bumping into you? I'm warning you, stay away from my younger sister. You're already married, so stop trying to ruin my sister's life."

Looking at how differently the sisters were reacting to Xiao Luo, Elder Long and Xiao Quanren looked at one another and a shrewd smile formed on their faces. They could tell that Tianshan Elder truly adored her disciple, and it presented a great opportunity for them as they now knew that she liked Xiao Luo.

The look on Tianshan Elder's face changed a little. She quickly walked towards Gu Qianxue and asked, "Little Snow, do you know him?"

"Master, he's my… my…"

"Your sweetheart?"

Before Gu Qianxue could finish her sentence, Elder Long was already walking toward her with his hands behind his back and finished her sentence for her.

Sweetheart?

The color on Tianshan Elder's face changed as she glared at Elder Long, and she shouted, "Old man with the surname Long, you better stop spouting nonsense, otherwise, I'm going to rip you apart."

"Junior Sister, why are you surprised? I'm sure you're more familiar with this kind of relationship than me."

Old Man Long stroked his non-existent beard and looked at Gu Qianxue. "Little girl, as soon as you saw Xiao Luo kneeling on the ground, you were so upset that tears rolled down your face. If he's not your sweetheart, then who is he to you? If you ask me, it can only be fate, and God is telling you to help Xiao Luo."

"Pah! I'm going to spit thick phlegm all over your face! You old scoundrel! All you ever do is try to fool me," Tianshan Elder scowled.

"Junior Sister, why always doubt me?"

Elder Long furrowed his eyebrows, then went on to shake hands with Gu Qianxue. "Little girl, you're really pretty. I'm your master's senior. In terms of rank, you should, therefore, address me as Elder Uncle," he said.

Gu Qianxue had no idea how to react. She raised her head and looked at Tianshan Elder.

"Little Snow, just ignore him. He's an old fool! What big uncle is he talking about? He's lying to you," Tianshan Elder said, putting her arms across her chest.

Elder Long's face turned red, and he said, "Junior Sister, why are you so disrespectful? Each time you open your mouth to say something, your sentences are filled with uncouth words. You're going to lead this little girl astray. Even if you don't, you're a bad influence to old people like me."

"B*stard!"

Tianshan Elder said and shook her hands impatiently. Having the appearance of a delicate young girl gave everyone the impression she was lively and playful, but her words and actions were not so. Such a vivid contrast made those watching her feel uncomfortable.

"Little Snow, follow me in! I have something to ask you."

"Master, can you please?"

Gu Qianxue immediately knelt on the ground and pointed at Xiao Luo. She was trying to get her master to help Xiao Luo.

Tianshan Elder did not get angry but sighed and said, "Come in first, and we'll talk!"

"Okay."

Gu Qianxue wiped the tears off of her face, then turned her head to Xiao Luo and said, "Xiao Luo, I'll persuade my master to help you."

Xiao Luo didn't say a thing but showed her a grateful-looking smile.

After Gu Qianxue entered the cave with Tianshan Elder, Gu Qianlin took it out on Xiao Luo. "You b*stard, do you know how hurt my younger sister was when she found out that you married that female superstar, Su Li? What did you do to her? What kind of magic potion did you feed her to the point she is so infatuated with you?"

"Go away!"

Xiao Luo snarled. He didn't have a favorable impression of Gu Qianlin. He hated her and didn't want to talk at all.

Gu Qianlin didn't budge, and instead returned a fearless look, and said, "I know your kung fu skills are good, and you can kill anyone you want easily. But I'm not afraid of you. I'm warning you one last time, stay far away from my younger sister. I don't want to see her crying and don't want to hear her mentioning coming back to Tianshan to live here. She's all grown up now, and it's time for her to live her own life. It's time for her to stop wasting her time here staring at nothing but snowy mountains every single day. She's wasting her youth in this goddamn place!"

"I told you to go away, didn't I? Did you not hear that?"

Xiao Luo's voice was threatening and his eyes glowered like that of a wolf. His stare sent a shiver down Gu Qianlin's spine, and she unconsciously took three steps back.
