134 – Jia Lan Appears Again

“You’re really daring, aren’t you afraid of making enemies?”

Xia Xue lowered her voice and said with a smile.

Rather than dissatisfaction, her tone is more that of approval.

However, another person seems to have a different opinion.

Evidently thinking that Xue Qilin shouldn’t speak too much, Qi Qiqi gave her a fierce glance.

“Reverend Carefree, don’t mind her. If you meet danger, my sect will come to your help as soon as possible.”

Qi Qiqi promised righteously. However, Qi Qiqi’s words should be taken with a grain of salt. She only made a verbal commitment. Even if the other schools do really run into danger and Merak Temple doesn’t support them, then when the other sects investigate this in the future, Qi Qiqi will have many excuses she can use.

“Then let me thank you in advance.”

Reverend Carefree probably also knows that he’s not in the position to ask too much. This promise is already enough. This way he got a way out, and it can also give off the impression that “he gave in”.

Since Qi Qiqi took over the conversation, Xue Qilin kept silent.

She doesn’t know if Qi Qiqi will honor her promise or not. But according to Qi Qiqi’s unexpectedly righteous personality, she may really ask Xue Qilin to help the other sects if they run into trouble.

However, it is not up to her to decide whether Xue Qilin will help them or not.

In view of this, the lass doesn’t need to draw a line in the sand and make the atmosphere heavy.

“As long as this matter is handled properly, then there is no need for worry. And even if there is a Heaven Demon, it should not be able to command martial demons who haven’t gained wisdom yet.”

The man in black once again spoke out on the topic. This time he spoke much more and his words contain substance.

“Indeed.”

Reverend Carefree nodded in agreement.

“However, it is already very rare for Heaven Demons to appear in Martial Demon Realm. We can’t ascertain it’s capability, whether it is the same as that of Spirit Moon Valley’s Heaven Demons.”

Generally speaking, most of the irregular martial demons who cultivated their human form will join Spirit Moon Valley in order to seek protection from Beiming Youyu. On the other hand, very few martial demons can reach the Heaven Realm without relying on martial cultivation. Therefore in the long river of time, irregular Heaven Realm martial demons can be said to be very few and far between.

… Xue Qilin learned this from reading Qi Qiqi’s books when she had nothing to do.

“I think compared to this, we should really worry about…”

The man in black left the wood pillar and slowly approached.

“The Vajrayana people.”

A pained look on his face, Daoist Carefree spoke in a dejected tone, “I almost forgot about this! It seems that even the Vajrayana Grandmaster has come.”

“Someone fought the Vajrayana Grandmaster yesterday. That was you, right?”

The man in black squinted his eyes and aimed his sharp gaze at Xue Qilin.

“It was me.”

“Luckily you were able to escape with your life.”

The man in black sneered.

What’s up with this guy? Does he want to see me dead? Xue Qilin rolled her eyes. At this time Qi Qiqi gave Xue Qilin a prompting look.

Does she want me to clarify things? Does that gall Little Seven think I can read her mind or something? Xue Qilin mused, half doubtful and half helpless.

“I was rescued.”

“By whom?”

Faced with the question from the man in black, Xue Qilin spread her hands.

“Who else is there in Hua Dynasty able to make ‘Asura’er’ stand down?”

“Senior Xue, do you mean ‘Moonlight Omnia’, Senior Beiming Youyu, is here?”

“Yes, it was Senior Beiming who saved our Ancestor.”

Qi Qiqi answered Reverend Carefree instead of Xue Qilin.

“That’s unexpected! Even Senior Beiming came?” Daoist Carefree sighed, and then clapped his hands, “But since this is the case, we don’t have to worry about ‘Asura’er’!”

Hey, you’re wandering around the territory of Beiming Youyu’s comrades with the intention to harm them! Xue Qilin doesn’t know whether to be humored or angered.

“It seems that the Vajrayana people are here to participate in Martial Demon Realm Trial by Fire as well. Why don’t I see them?”

Daoist Carefree looked around with a doubtful gaze.

“Humph. They turn up uninvited and then don’t have the face to show themselves.”

While saying this in a strange tone, Jiang Shan cast Xue Qilin glance. This is clearly a veiled jab at Xue Qilin who not only turned up uninvited, but also has the face to show herself.

But Xue Qilin doesn’t care about it. Instead she squinted her eyes and is gazing in a certain direction.

There is a deep apprehenson in her eyes.

“… Phecda!”

Xue Qilin called loudly.

Under everyone’s suspicious eyes, urgent footsteps sounded.

A black cat ran over from a distance, kicked off the ground lightly, and jumped onto Xue Qilin’s shoulder. The black cat aimed its dark green eyes alertly in the direction its owner is gazing.

Evidently having pried out some clues from Xue Qilin’s expression, Qi Qiqi’s face suddenly became dignified.

“Qilin, have they come?”

Qi Qiqi asked in a suppressed tone and unconsciously clasped Sky Apart at her waist with her left hand.

Sensing the change, Xia Xue no longer leaned on Xue Qilin and instead stood upright. Her right hand slowly reached towards the handle of “Heavenly Nacre” hanging across her waist.

As for Reverend Carefree, Jiang Shan, and the man in black, faintly sensing something, they stretched their muscles taut.

As if a bright lamp in the night, an intense aura is prickling the skin. It’s impossible not to feel it.

Before long, they saw it.

The thing that makes Xue Qilin extremely apprehensive – gold radiance.

When the radiance entered their eyes, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath.

It’s too dazzling.

Surrounded by monks dressed in a green haiqing [1] and a kasaya [2] draped on top, the petite Asura’er – Jia Lan – is slowly approaching.

Her dark red eyes swept everyone present and finally stopped on Xue Qilin.

A pleased look on her face, Jia Lan’s eyes radiate amazing radiance.

It’s an unusually intense radiance.

Overwhelmed by this gaze, everyone averted their eyes.

The only exception is Xue Qilin.

At this moment…

Jia Lan’s figure suddenly turned into gold light that dispersed. She disappeared from Xue Qilin’s field of view.

“…!”

Incoming! Xue Qilin subconsciously extended her hand into her sleeve and grabbed the thing she has specially prepared.

But before she could take it out, countless gold specks of light condensed into a petite figure in front of her eyes.

In just an instant, Jia Lan crossed the long distance and arrived before Xue Qilin.

“We meet again.”

Under everyone’s stupefied gazes, Jia Lan gently pulled her robe and made a graceful curtsy.

This greeting is foreign to everyone present. Only Xue Qilin knows that it is a Western curtsy. It seems that in this era, the Western Regions may have already had contact with Europe.

“I didn’t come to play with you this time. I just came to say hello.”

Jia Lan spoke with a sweet smile.

Then she pursed her lips elegantly.

“That annoying fox is still following me closely behind.”

Beiming Youyu is also here? Xue Qilin was finally relieved. She was the most afraid that Beiming Youyu wouldn’t care about their fate.

“Why do things never go your way?”

Leaving this sentence behind, Jia Lan turned her back to Xue Qilin. At this time, the group of Vajrayana monks have stopped on the other side of the lake, waiting for their Grandmaster to return.

She turned her back to me! Watching Jia Lan slowly walk away, Xue Qilin secretly gritted her pearl-white teeth. She realized that Jia Lan doesn’t see her as a threat.

A Heaven Realm martial practitioner doesn’t count for much before a Grandmaster.

Even though she understands this, but Xue Qilin still feels like there is a lump in her throat, making it hard to swallow.

However, the others feel relieved.

Only because they escaped a calamity.
