Chapter 0173 – It Doesn’t Matter Who I Am – Absolute Returns

Qin Xia Ling felt like her soul was going out of her body.

She had never experienced such swift lightness before, and the scenery around her flew backwards so fast that she couldn’t see anything at all.

She couldn’t open her eyes and had trouble even breathing.

How on earth does he manage to avoid obstacles at such high speeds?

Shocked, a trace of inexplicable joy welled up in her heart.

It turned out that he was actually a deep-seated expert!

To be able to perform such an astounding lightweight skill, how unfathomable should his martial arts cultivation be?

He was by no means an ordinary squire!

It was hard to know if she should be happy about it, but she was, as if the invisible wall that had stood between her and him had come crashing down.

Right at this moment, Jian Wuji suddenly stopped.

“I …… I’m going down for a walk ……”

Qin Xia Ling jumped off his back, and her legs went limp, almost falling to the ground. She took a few deep breaths before she finally stabilized herself.

“Do you …… you usually catch up by running?”

Jian Wuji ignored her flirting and just looked into the distance with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. Qin Xia Ling followed his gaze and froze.

As it turned out, he hadn’t stopped because she was feeling tired, but to wait for the figure ahead.

Only to see a familiar figure that was speeding ahead, it was clearly her grandfather!

He actually caught up with Grandpa!

Qin Xia Ling was so surprised that she almost screamed out. In her mind, her grandfather was an invincible existence, and although some people said that the Heavenly Demon was even better, she always believed that her grandfather would be able to defeat the Heavenly Demon.

However, the man in front of her, had caught up with her grandfather! Moreover, Grandpa was carrying a captive while he was carrying her on his back. With the same amount of weight on his back, he was even able to catch up with Grandpa?

Although she knew it was a bit ridiculous to ask such a question in this situation, she still couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly are you …… you?”

Sword Wuji smiled faintly and replied, “Sword, out of the sheath will be stained with blood, return to the sheath will be hidden and invisible.”

“Don’t play dumb with me! Who exactly are you? Since you’ve shown your strength, it’s about time you let us know your true identity, right?”

Jian Wuji finally released his own aura, which was like a different person from before, as deep as the abyss and as vast as the sea. A picture suddenly surfaced in Qin Xia Ling’s mind.

It was an azure sky, boundless and clear and high.

She couldn’t help but reach out and try to touch that sky.

Poof!

In the next moment, she realized that it was just the sky reflected in the water.

Her hand disappeared into the water and her body sank with it.

She had expected the water to be shallow, but she didn’t expect it to be deep. She looked down, but she couldn’t see the bottom of the lake. What was hidden at the bottom of that deep lake? Just as she felt a hint of fear, the image suddenly disappeared and she returned to reality.

In his ears, came Jian Wuji’s voice.

“Jian Wuji, the son of the Heavenly Demon God Sect’s Sectmaster.”

Qin Xia Ling was struck by lightning and froze in place.

What? The Devil’s Cult? Master? Son?

She had initially thought that she had misheard the words, but what part of the words had she misheard? The Heavenly Demon Divine Sect? The sect master? Or the son?

“What did you …… you say? What sect are you from?”

“The Celestial Demon God Cult.”

“Say that again, what teaching?”

“It’s the demonic sect you talk about, the Heavenly Demon God Sect.”

Qin Xiaoling’s eyes grew wider and wider, as if she couldn’t believe her ears.

“You …… you don’t joke! Demon Cult? How can you be from the Devil Cult?”

As she spoke, she subconsciously drew her longsword and stepped back.

From this reaction of hers, one could tell what kind of existence the Devil Sect was in the minds of the righteous people. For them, the Devil Sect was a fear rooted deep in their hearts from childhood to adulthood, the embodiment of evil, and their greatest enemy on the path of martial arts training.

And this person in front of me is actually the son of the Demon Sect Master?

The tip of her sword trembled slightly, showing the fear within her heart at the moment. In contrast, Jian Wuji appeared unusually calm, his eyes, as clear as the sky and as deep as the ocean.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.

“Grandpa …… Does he know who you are too?”

“He knows.”

Qin Xia Ling was even more confused, if Jian Wuji was really the young master of the Demon Sect, how could Grandpa feel relieved to let him be alone with him?

“He at least believes that I won’t hurt you. So put the sword away.”

Qin Xia Ling slowly took her sword back into its sheath. After learning that her grandfather knew about this, the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.

Jian Wuji briefly told her the whole story.

“The mysterious force, the Heavenly Fate Society, suddenly appeared in the jianghu, and I was ordered to track them down, and found that they were actually trying to pull you in. I informed Alliance Master Qin of this matter, and we decided to join forces and find out the truth. If it wasn’t for you, Alliance Master Qin wouldn’t have personally come out, much less cooperated with me, the young master of the Demon Sect.”

Qin Xia Ling immediately understood what was going on.

“Grandpa didn’t want to reveal my identity, but I insisted on telling you.”

“Why?”

“Because that would be disrespectful to you. I’m sure that whether you’re a squire or the young lord of the Demon Cult, it won’t change the relationship between you and me.”

“How can there be no difference? It’s a world of difference!”

“Yes?”

Jian Wuji laughed, and Qin Xia Ling was first stunned, then she laughed as well.

The identity of a servant disappeared, and in its place was the even more insurmountable identity of the Demon Sect’s Young Lord. The former, she might still be able to barely cross over, while the latter, was like a heavenly moat, one slip up would trigger a catastrophe.

“Aren’t you …… angry?”

“How can you not be angry? How dare you play me like this, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!”

Although she said this on her lips, she was not really angry in her heart, but instead felt a hint of inexplicable excitement because of Jian Wuji’s true identity.

“Then what did you mean when you said earlier that you wanted me to be the Martial Alliance Master?”

“That’s literally it, I want you to become stronger, more experienced, and eventually become the Martial Arts Alliance. I believe that you can definitely do it.”

“The friend of the Martial Alliance Master is actually the Demon Sect’s Young Master?”

“I hope so, but it is a path that is destined to be full of thorns, and I don’t know if I will live to see that day.”

His tone, it didn’t seem like he was joking, Qin Xia Ling prayed silently in her heart that he would be safe.

“Now that you’ve confessed, let’s get reacquainted.”

She said, holding out her right hand.

Jian Wu Ji held her hand.

Qin Xia Ling shook his hand hard, seemingly a little embarrassed, and as if to hide her embarrassment, she deliberately shook it hard.

“I actually shook hands with the Demon Sect’s Young Lord.”

“Me too.” Jian Wuji smiled, “Let’s go, we should go back.”

He turned and bent over.

Qin Xiaoling was once again on his back, and this time, she was in a very different mood, than before.

“You didn’t think that I’d be worried about you getting dizzy heights and that’s why I’m carrying you, did you? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Tie Kun was locked in a secret room.

He had been sealed by Qin Batian himself in his acupoints, and even if the others wanted to unlock them, there was nothing they could do.

He sat alone in his room, trying to remember what had happened.
