Chapter 1380 - 1380 38 Outside the World_2

Chapter 1380: Chapter 38 Outside the World_2 Chapter 1380: Chapter 38 Outside the World_2 But before she could ponder any further,

She suddenly heard a voice behind her that made her tremble from head to toe:

“Lingxiao!

Are you alright?”

Qin Lingxiao instinctively turned her head around.

From the depths of the secluded cave, a figure quickly emerged.

With handsome features and a gentle temperament.

Clad in a green robe, just like that Foundation Establishment cultivator from West Sea Country at the Eightfold Sea.

His eyes were full of concern as he looked at her.

“Wang, Wang Ba?!

...

How, how did you come here?”

She was surprised, delighted, and anxious, not even thinking before urgently saying:

“Hurry and leave!

There might be dangers lurking here!”

However, what caught her off guard was that Wang Ba floated to her side and, under her astonished gaze, gently took her soft hand, his voice filled with an instantaneous and immense soothing warmth and magnetism:

“I sensed a change in the incarnation, so I worried something might happen to you and rushed over.

Are you alright now?”

Qin Lingxiao froze in place.

Her fingers instinctively tried to pull away from that big hand, yet at the moment of withdrawal, she hesitated, not wanting to truly leave, and stopped again.

Feeling the warmth transmitted from her fingertips held by the big hand, a dizzying sensation akin to intoxication blanked her mind in an instant.

“I…

you…

you…”

Always appearing cold, at this moment her cheeks flushed red, and she stuttered.

Wang Ba finally seemed to react, guiltily retracting his hand, then awkwardly showing a trace of embarrassment after losing his composure:

“It’s good you’re alright, it’s good.

I…

You know me, I’ve always been worried about you, but I and my Dao companion have gone through too much, I can’t just leave her, do you understand?”

Qin Lingxiao opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

She understood; how could she not understand?

Whatever he said, she was willing to understand.

But…

did he ever give her a chance?

Inside her heart, there was an inexplicable sourness.

Wang Ba, however, shook his head to stop her:

“You needn’t say anything, I understand…

I carry the scrutiny and pressure of the secular world, now as the Sect’s Deputy Sect Master, I cannot act against this status, so I can only keep my feelings for you hidden in my heart…

only here, in this deserted place, can I truly speak freely.”

“I just want to ask you…

can we be together?”

Qin Lingxiao was stunned in an instant.

This moment, she finally heard this long-obsessed confession.

Yet her heart felt bewildered.

However, seeing the sincerity and determination in Wang Ba’s eyes, she finally nodded without hesitation:

“I, I’m willing…”

Before her words finished,

A robust and fierce voice suddenly came from behind.

“Lingxiao!”

Qin Lingxiao trembled all over.

In front of her, Wang Ba faded away like the reflected moon in water, broken and dispersing.

She didn’t have time to think more, turning her head to look.

A robustly built old man, nearly three people tall, stood with every hair of his beard and eyebrows distinct, his eyes bearing a hint of expectation and pity.

“Great Grandfather!”

Qin Lingxiao incredulously stared at this exceedingly familiar figure, tears instantly welling up.

Unaware of herself, she threw herself like a child into the old man’s arms:

“Great Grandfather, you, you didn’t leave?

I’ve missed you so much…”

Qin Dengyuan gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of compassion and heartache:

“These days while I mended the heavens, you and your father have suffered…”

“But you are one of the rare talents of the Qin Family over the years, great grandfather hopes you will take on the responsibility of reviving the Qin Family…

don’t blame great grandfather for the immense pressure, born in this era, in this world, that is your destiny.”

Yet Qin Lingxiao just tightly hugged Qin Dengyuan, her tears falling like rain.

“Great Grandfather, I’m so tired, I’m really so tired, I don’t want to be this genius, can I not be this genius?

Every time I get injured in the Eightfold Sea battling those Demonic Beasts, I want to find someone to cry to, but I don’t know whom to turn to, everyone in the clan is watching me…

I can only pretend that I’m not afraid, pretend that I don’t care…

”

In Qin Dengyuan’s eyes, the affection grew stronger.

However, his body eventually began to disappear bit by bit.

Leaving only Qin Lingxiao with her arms wrapped around herself, no tear marks at the corner of her eyes.

Only a murmuring voice:

“Could you…

leave later?

Can you leave a bit later?”

But illusions ultimately remain illusions.

Even sweet dreams must eventually end.

It’s just that she always greedily thought, how wonderful it would be to wake a bit later, a bit later?

Gently wiping away the nonexistent wetness from the corners of her eyes.

The jade bi that reflects a person’s true self quietly reappeared before her.

On either side of the jade bi, there lay a path.

But still as dark and deep as before, hard to see clearly.

Qin Lingxiao watched the jade bi, but slightly furrowed her brows:

“Is this the danger of this place?

Deceiving with illusions…

hardly impressive.”

But just as she hesitated which direction to take at the sides of the jade bi.

A voice, seemingly far yet near, unclear and vague, suddenly came by her ears:

“Such great prospects originally lay ahead for this young lady, how has she so unfortunately encountered a calamity of the heart?”

Qin Lingxiao’s expression instantly turned stern.

…

“Cuiluo City is one of the big cities in Zhongsheng Continent, managed jointly by the Yun Clan and the Huai Family, centered mainly around several mining and cultivation resources, hence why the Nine Great Families all have their eyes on seizing these cities.”

In mid-air.

Yun Shu and Daoist Yuanci were hurriedly heading towards the distant city while talking.
