C365 The Most Difficult Decision!
Lin Cheng and Le Xuannian had been speeding for a full day. He did not choose the main road or the conspicuous main road. Instead, he walked along the periphery of Boundless Forest at a fast speed.
Although he was already an Incarnation Stage Cultivation Level, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to not put the Myriad Sword Sect in his eyes. An ordinary cultivator was naturally no match for him, but if the Myriad Sword Sect was angered... Or, if a Divine Ability Stage warrior suddenly attacked him out of nowhere, he would be in big trouble.
Besides, even if a Divine Ability Stage warrior didn't attack, but a Peak of Incarnation Stage warrior would come. Although he wasn't afraid, if he wanted to defeat his opponent... He had to use the Great Arrow. He might even need to use the Blue Fire and Power Rule. At that time, as long as the Myriad Sword Sect launched an attack on the Unification Sect, both sides would immediately understand what was going on.
Lin Cheng also knew that it was all because of a maid. He was afraid that it would be very difficult to start a fight between the two major sects, but because the Unification Sect and the Myriad Sword Sect had been fighting openly and secretly before this. Furthermore, he had announced Tong Chenen's name, which meant that the core disciples of the Unification Sect had started to attack the Myriad Sword Sect.
In this way, perhaps the Myriad Sword Sect would really have a big conflict with the Unification Sect in a fit of anger.
Therefore, Lin Cheng naturally wouldn't expose himself.
After speeding for a day, night fell. Lin Cheng brought Le Xuannian to a city and entered an inn.
Lin Cheng didn't need to disguise himself. Anyone could tell that he was an Adventurer. Furthermore, it looked like a very shabby Adventurer, but it was Le Xuannian. Although her clothes weren't very gorgeous, anyone with discerning eyes could tell. Her clothes were not ordinary, and she looked like a young lady from a certain family.
Therefore, without waiting for the two to speak, the inn's waiter treated Lin Cheng as Le Xuannian's servant or the Adventurer hired by Le Xuannian.
This saved the two of them a lot of trouble and they would not pay special attention to him.
Coming into the room, Le Xuannian finally heaved a sigh of relief and could not help saying, "Lin... that, I really don't know how to thank you."
She originally wanted to call Lin Cheng, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she was worried that others would accidentally hear them. But now, if she called Junior Brother Lin again, she would not be able to call him out, so she could only vaguely say it.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Senior Sister Le, just call me Junior Brother Zhu."
"Junior Brother Zhu?"
Le Xuannian was stunned for a moment and then she reacted. This was the fake name Lin Cheng used to hide his identity. "Lin... Junior disciple Zhu, you borrowed Junior Sister Zhu's surname?"
Speaking up to this point, she suddenly reacted and could not help but ask, "Oh right, why didn't I see Junior Sister Zhu along the way, she..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw that Lin Cheng's face suddenly sank. His eyes were cold and a powerful pressure was emitted from his body. It made her heart thump, and her face turned pale. She felt like she was suffocating, and she couldn't say anything else.
Whoosh!
Lin Cheng noticed the change in Le Xuannian's expression. He immediately realized that he had lost control of himself. He suddenly retracted his Spirit Power and killing intent, but there was no smile on his face.
"Junior... Junior Brother Zhu, did I say something wrong?"
Feeling the terrifying pressure suddenly disappear, Le Xuannian heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Lin Cheng and asked hesitantly.
Lin Cheng was silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "She was taken away."
Le Xuannian was startled, "Take her away? What do you mean?"
"A strong warrior from Southern Domain took a fancy to her talent and forcefully took her away..."
Lin Cheng recounted the matter. His voice was low and deep. There was a trace of anger and sadness hidden in his voice, especially when he thought of what Zhu Ziqiao said at the end. Hubby, I am waiting for you to save me... His heart couldn't help but feel pain.
Le Xuannian widened her eyes. She really didn't think that Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao's experiences would be so full of ups and downs. It had only been three to four years since they separated in the Boundless Forest outside Dongzhou College. However, not only had Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao become cultivator, they had also become Incarnation Stage warriors!
Although Lin Cheng had only told them everything that had happened in the past, including the realm of the cultivator, it was also just a casual remark, but after Le Xuannian witnessed Lin Cheng crushing the Third Elder of Dongzhou College, she vaguely understood what Incarnation Stage meant.
Even in the cultivator, he could be considered an expert!
This was an Incarnation Stage!
As for Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao, they had both broken through to this realm. It had only been a few short years, but for most of the people on this continent, they would never be able to break through to the Core Sea Stage, let alone the Incarnation Stage.
While she was envious, she couldn't help but secretly shake her head and curse Shui Hui's stupidity.
Back then, Shui Hui had personally rejected Lin Cheng, and even wanted to kill him. But after just a few years, Lin Cheng's realm had long surpassed Shui Hui's. The youth with mediocre talent that she spoke of had now grown into an expert.
Not to mention Zhu Ziqiao, even the experts of Southern Domain had taken a liking to Zhu Ziqiao's extraordinary talent. After forcefully taking her away, Shui Hui submitted to the Myriad Sword Sect's Cheng Qinluo. She had asked Zhu Ziqiao to be Cheng Qinluo's personal maid. It's so stupid and ridiculous.
Currently, Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao were both Incarnation Stage warriors, but the foolish Shui Hui had already become a pile of bones in Boundless Forbidden Land.
She was afraid that she would never have thought that she would die in the hands of Lin Cheng, who she regarded as mediocre.
"Junior disciple Zhu..."
Le Xuannian raised her head and wanted to speak, but her voice stopped abruptly.
Because in her line of sight, Lin Cheng was sitting in front of the table. His eyes were filled with anger and sadness, as if he had fallen into a memory.
Le Xuannian suddenly felt her heart being touched. She originally thought that Zhu Ziqiao being taken away by the experts of Southern Domain might not be a bad thing for Zhu Ziqiao. It was just that Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao could not bear to be separated.
But when she saw Lin Cheng's eyes, she suddenly realized that she had overlooked the relationship between Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao, as well as Lin Cheng's grief and indignation!
"Junior brother Zhu..."
Le Xuannian hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is a sentence that I should not have said, but if I were Junior Sister Zhu, I might also hope that you would come and save me, but I still hope that you are safe and sound."
Lin Cheng did not speak and only nodded his head.
"Junior Sister Zhu said this, perhaps to prevent you from being too sad and angry, and to destroy yourself."
Le Xuannian slowly said, "At the same time, she might also have a glimmer of hope. One day, you will really be powerful and invincible. Go to Southern Domain and save her. But no matter what, she had made the most difficult and painful decision. This is far more painful than dying together! "
Whoosh!
Lin Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Le Xuannian.
She could not help but be shocked and hastily said, "I only treated myself as Junior Sister Zhu. The feeling I got was just a casual remark..."
"You are right!"
Lin Cheng slowly nodded and said, "I can also feel it. When the girl said that sentence, she probably did not want me to save her, just like you said. To her, it might just be an extravagant hope... What she really hoped for was that I wouldn't be too sad and angry. Don't destroy yourself, let me have a goal to fight for..."
Saying this, he couldn't help but clench his fist tightly.
Even if he was about to be taken away, Zhu Ziqiao was still worried for him. She was afraid that his brain would heat up and he would cripple himself in grief and even commit suicide!
But in reality, in Zhu Ziqiao's heart, she did not wish to save her because Ming Danjing was too powerful. The Formless Immortal Sect was also incomparably powerful.
Now, even the Unification Sect could chase after him and flee in panic. How could he go to Southern Domain to save her?
That was no different than courting death!
Zhu Ziqiao was worried that he would seek death. She only gave him a goal so that he wouldn't completely sink into it.
Perhaps, deep within Zhu Ziqiao's heart, there was also a glimmer of hope. One day, Lin Cheng would really be incomparably powerful and sweep across the Formless Immortal Sect and save her!
Since it was an extravagant hope, it also meant that the moment Zhu Ziqiao left, she was almost ready to be separated from Lin Cheng forever!
Lin Cheng clenched his fists tightly. He could almost feel the sadness in Zhu Ziqiao's heart at that moment.
However, in order to save him, she did not want him to be killed because of fighting Ming Danjing. Zhu Ziqiao could only endure this sadness and leave with Ming Danjing.
An extremely intense anger rose from Lin Cheng's heart. It made him wish that he could rush into Southern Domain right now and fight Ming Danjing to the death.1
He wanted more power, to sweep away the Formless Immortal Sect's power!
"Junior disciple Zhu, are... are you alright?"
Le Xuannian saw Lin Cheng's constantly changing facial expression. Sometimes he looked sad, sometimes he looked fierce, and his eyes turned red. She couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Phew!"
Lin Cheng let out a long breath and slowly shook his head. He said, "I'm fine. Senior Sister Le, thank you for waking me up."
Le Xuannian quickly said, "I was just saying it casually. You don't need to take it to heart..."
"I understand!"
Lin Cheng nodded and took a few deep breaths. His expression calmed down and he said, "Senior Sister Le, it's late. You rest. We still have to hurry tomorrow morning."
Le Xuannian knew that he was not in a good mood and quickly nodded. "Okay. Junior Zhu, you should also rest early."
After leaving Le Xuannian's room, Lin Cheng's expression had completely calmed down.
Although his mood was not very good, it was not particularly bad either because he was woken up by Le Xuannian!
Because Le Xuannian treated him as Zhu Ziqiao, Lin Cheng suddenly understood. Previously, he had been overwhelmed by anger and sadness and did not carefully think about what Zhu Ziqiao said to him.
Now he finally understood and calmed down.
Zhu Ziqiao made the most difficult choice in order to protect his life. If he continued to be angry and angry, he would only let down the girl's good intentions.
He wanted to be strong!
