Chapter 268.4: How Did It Turn Out To Be You?
Her footsteps under her feet then sped up quite a bit, even executing a technique to increase her speed, which caused the person secretly following her to find himself unable to keep up for a while.
That person decided that there was no longer any point concealing himself at that moment and he just came out into the open. His footsteps were steady and firm, and he was getting closer and closer to his target.
Qing Yu’s lips curled up into a scornful smile and she came to a sudden halt just as the person behind was about to catch up to her, her hand whipping around to the back. The sharp glint of golden needles held at her fingertips stabbed right onto the person’s neck, a millimeter away from piercing into his flesh.
The poison on the tip of her needles were not like any ordinary ones. The poison was extracted out from a bug she accidentally caught from within the Divine Temple’s grounds sometime before.
Just a tiny little drop of it was enough to cause a full grown man to bleed through all seven orifices, killing him in an instant. The toxin was extremely lethal.
A poisonous needle held at his vital point, it was surprising that the pursuer did not struggle or put up any resistance. That calm and unextraordinary face merely looked strangely excited, eyes staring fixedly at Qing Yu.
Qing Yu could not help but creased her brows together before she asked: “Why are you following me? Didn’t the Temple Lord already reject your Master? ? Unable to win me over openly, is he going to forcefully take me away through underhanded means? !”
The person’s lips moved slightly, like he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the young lady’s sharp voice: “Let me tell you this. You’d better not make any rash moves or you cannot blame me if you lose your life here. I am not a person that someone like Zhuge Xiong can afford to have any fantasies about or to antagonize!”
“He is indeed not worthy of you, and he shouldn’t harbour any ideas towards you.”
Completely incompatible to that ordinary looking face, was his clear and magnetically melodious voice, that also felt strangely familiar.
This voice….. Where has she heard it before?
The man’s voice darkened slightly and it seemed as though he was contemplating something. After a moment’s thought, he stretched his hand up towards the side of his face, and the sound of something tearing could be heard, like the man was pulling something off his own face.
Right before her eyes, Qing Yu stood stunned as she saw that unfamiliar and unremarkable face change into a completely different person.
That highly exquisite countenance was accompanied by a pair of upslanted crystal clear eyes, his thin lips that were faintly pink tightly pressed together, looking a little cool and suave, with a fingernail sized black bloom just below the corner of his left eye.
This man was someone she had met in passing and she had thought that they would never meet again. But here they were, meeting for the third time already.
And meeting here again, his identity seemed to have become even more complicated once again.
A strange and indescribable emotion showed in Qing Yu’s eyes as she slowly retracted her hand and her lips parted lightly, to call out a name that she was not unfamiliar with.
“Xi Zhan Chen…..”
“Why….. are you here?”
Appearing here in this place with a different identity, and with such a different and unfamiliar face before her.
After the incident back at the Carefree Valley’s Fleeting Cloud Fortress a few months ago, she had not seen him again, nor did she once hear any news about this man.
