Chapter 568 - Why Are You Viewing Me Differently?

The Shocking Thunder Beast reached the end of its crossbow and under Ling Chuxi’s final shocking blow, it hit the ground with a thud. The golden light around its body slowly dispersed and the wounds it sustained from Ling Chuxi’s previous Seven String Finger attack could no longer withstand the strong suppression of her Battle Qi, sending a spray of blood into the air.

The surroundings were dead silent as Ling Chuxi stood bathed under the sunlight. Her entire body emitted an awe-inspiring aura. The Battle Qi light enveloping her body seemed to be even more dazzling than the sun. Watching her pretty figure, everyone could not help but feel a little in awe of her.

“Miss Ling, we meet again. We have not met for some time and your cultivation has improved yet again, said ” Xiao Tianying to Ling Chuxi after he stepped forward to greet her.

“Big Brother Xiao, why are you here?” Ling Chuxi saw that Xiao Tianying looked calm and knew that his state of mind had changed a lot after the great assessment competition the last time. This was a good thing. He finally managed to cheer himself up, otherwise, it would be a very regretful matter if he were to stagnate where he was for the rest of his life.

“I am accompanying my master to Ding Lin Country and was coincidentally passing by this area,” said Xiao Tianying.

“Your master?” Ling Chuxi had heard before that Xiao Tianying had left the Xiao family to travel after being promoted to the level of Great Fulfilment when he was seventeen. This master he spoke of was naturally one he had acknowledged later on. With his cultivation and identity as the Xiao family’s first grandson, for him to acknowledge an outsider as his master meant that this master was definitely not a simple person.

“Baby girl, your cultivation is not bad. Just now you used Old Monster Mo’s Great Fists Skill, right? So that old stubborn man finally thought things through and was willing to accept a disciple,” said an old man with white hair as he stepped down from his carriage, he was smiling widely.

“Lin Cangbo, you old thing that cannot die. You’re talking bad about other people behind their backs again,” came Mo Kongyuan’s reply. He had already walloped an entire table of dishes while Ling Chuxi was here taking action and was now walking over while wiping his mouth.

When the two met, they first each sent out a slap attack towards one another before smiling widely once their gazes met.

It turns out that these two knew each other and it seemed like their relationship was not superficial either. Ling Chuxi guessed that this old man’s identity was more likely than not the guardian of Dong Xing Country. One needed to know that Mo Kongyuan had never even looked at the emperor of Nan Xia in his eye and was extremely disdainful towards people. When had he ever been so courteous to others?

“Tianying, come and meet Mister Mo,” Lin Cangbo said to Xiao Tianying.

“Mister Mo, your junior, Xiao Tianying, is pleased to meet you,” said Xiao Tianying respectfully to Mo Kongyuan, bowing to him with the manners of a junior.

“There’s no need to be so formal,” replied Mo Kongyuan as he waved at Xiao Tianying.

“Old Monster Mo, is this your newly accepted disciple? Her potential is not bad, where did you did you find such a good seedling?” Lin Cangbo asked Mo Kongyuan.

“This is Ling Chuxi. She’s not my disciple, instead, she is my comrade,” said Mo Kongyuan with a smile. Then he turned to Ling Chuxi and added on, “Chuxi, this is Dong Xing Country’s Mister Lin.”

“Mister Lin, your junior, Ling Chuxi, is pleased to meet you,” said Ling Chuxi bowing to Lin Cangbo with the manners of a junior. Indeed, her guess as to his identity was right.

“Not your disciple? Then what’s going on with her knowing your 27 Hand Great Fists Skill?” asked Lin Cangbo in surprise. Hearing Mo Kongyuan say as much, Lin Cangbo was even more surprised. He was clearer than anyone about Mo Kongyuan’s character of having his nose pointed to the sky towards people, no matter who it was. This young maiden before him had actually received such different treatment from Mo Kongyuan and he had even passed on his top skill to her without taking her in as a disciple. What kind of a person was this young maiden exactly?

“Who says that I can only teach her if she becomes my disciple? Do you think everyone is like you, appreciating broken brooms? (1) Hmph!” retorted Mo Kongyuan disdainfully.

“That’s right, you are also here because of that matter, right?” asked Lin Cangbo as he gave a bitter laugh. Lin Cangbo did not bother to delve deeply into the question of what Ling Chuxi had to offer to make Mo Kongyuan treat her so differently. Anyway, he would have many opportunities to interact with her moving forward and he could observe on his own then.

(1) Although it is not a good thing, you take care of it well.
