Chapter 0281 – See You Again As You Were – The Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"Meeting again so soon?" Qin Xia Ling, who was standing in the doorway, asked with a smiling face and a few hints of flirtation in her tone.

The ends of Li An’s hair were still dripping, obviously he had just returned from practicing and changed into a light outfit after showering and dressing.

"The sooner the deceased meets, the better, naturally. Come in." Li An sidestepped out of the way and said with a smile.

Qin Xia Ling smiled sweetly and raised her steps to cross into the room. There are some people that even a simple sentence can make the heart grow fonder, perhaps this was the reason why he had taken the initiative to come and visit.

As soon as she was seated, Qin Xia Ling noticed a jug of wine on the tabletop and couldn’t help but ask, "You’re having a little drink?"

"Ah, the party found it while cleaning up the room." Li An explained that the jug of wine should have been prepared for the guests who came to visit.

"Mind if I have one too?" Qin Xialing asked.

"Of course I don’t mind. Wait for a moment, I’ll go prepare some wine and food." Li An said and was about to get up.

"No need to bother, just drink like this." Qin Xia Ling spoke out to stop it, "What, do you think I’ll treat your place like a martial arts ally’s residence, where you have to set out a mountain of delicacies before you’re willing to drink?"

Li An sniffed and couldn’t help but smile, shaking his head.

The two men filled each other’s glasses and raised them.

"Is there something happy today? Look at you in a good mood." Qin Xia Ling put down her wine glass and asked with a smile.

"Why?" Liam pretended not to understand.

"Not only have you prepared wine today, even your expression is a bit brighter than usual." Qin Xia Ling explained.

Joyous occasion? Of course. Today, not only did she get Jian Wuji’s instruction in martial arts, what made her even more delighted was what Jian Wuji said to her.

"Why did you bring her?"

"Why else, but it’s just an excuse to join you for a walk."

He taught her the martial arts that only the Heavenly Demon bloodline could cultivate, he put her safety and happiness first, he was so open and honest with her, how could she not follow him to the death?

Although Li An did not answer Qin Xia Ling’s question, it was already clear in Qin Xia Ling’s mind that this good mood of hers must have nothing to do with Jian Wu Ji.

Li An did not move to change the topic and asked, "What about you? As the granddaughter of a martial arts ally, are you having a good time?"

"That’s a strange question for you to ask." Qin Xia Ling asked without answering.

"What does that mean?" Liam wondered.

"When the onlookers see me, which one of them isn’t envious of the fact that I was born to enjoy all the glory and wealth, and am the most favored granddaughter of the Martial Alliance Master." Qin Xia Ling smiled to herself, "In fact, I haven’t had an easy life, and it’s even harder than the onlookers can imagine."

"That’s true, after all, when you’re in a high position, you have to be extremely careful with your words and actions." Li An expressed his understanding.

"I don’t suppose you’ve had an easy life either? Serving a temperamental person, I guess it’s not easy." Qin Xia Ling asked, putting aside her status, she was actually a bit envious of Li An, being able to spend time with Jian Wuji.

"It’s not hard, following the Sect Leader, one can always encounter all sorts of strange and bizarre things, like right now, for example, I’m actually sitting and drinking with the granddaughter of the Martial Arts Alliance." Li An said half-jokingly.

"Yes, things are unpredictable." Qin Xia Ling deeply shared the same feeling, whether it was the entanglement with Sword Wuji or her encounter with Li An at this moment.

The two of them pushed the cups and exchanged the glasses, chatting from the Martial Arts Alliance to the Devil Sect, chatting from their respective experiences to the life that they had never experienced before, and without realizing it, a pot of wine had already reached the bottom.

During this period, there had been a slightly ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them, and they had also talked about Sword Wuji, chatted about martial arts, and, of course, could not help but talk about Sword Wuji again.

Qin Xia Ling had wanted to find out some shortcomings from Li An, so that she could feel better in her heart, but as the conversation progressed, she had only one thought in her mind: this woman, is really good.

Seeing that the wine pot was empty, Qin Xia Ling got up to take her leave, and instead of mentioning the matter of continuing to drink, she threw out a proposal that Li An was not expecting.

"Miss Li, how about we make friends?"

"Wouldn’t this …… be a little too hasty? We’ve only met for the second time as well." Li An was a bit stunned.

"What’s the point? The jianghu is dangerous, swords have no eyes, today is a friend, tomorrow may draw swords and fight to the death, compared to this, making friends is nothing?" Qin Xia Ling said without thinking.

This is the first time she took the initiative to make friends with people, in the past, want to climb the relationship with her countless people, but she has never said to anyone "make a friend" such words, but now only met twice Li An said these words, I do not know whether it is fate, or she is really another eye.

"Are you really willing to befriend me, the Demon Cult Demoness?" Li An asked tentatively.

"I’m naturally willing, aren’t you?" Qin Xia Ling asked rhetorically.

Li An Ding looked at Qin Xia Ling with a fixed gaze, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spread his face and smiled, saying, "To be able to become friends with someone like you, I naturally can’t wait to do so."

Hearing these words, the last trace of hesitation in Qin Xia Ling’s heart dissipated.

Qin Xiajun once again arrived at his master’s residence.

"Rustle ……" Wood shavings were flying, falling like snowflakes.

"Found a way?" A low voice rang out with a hint of impatience in its tone.

Master had been asking him about the method, and Qin Xiajun now understood that Master didn’t really want to know the method, but was forcing him, wanting to keep him firmly in his hands. And the quickest and most effective way to destroy a person is to make him feel fear and despair from the bottom of his heart.

"No, I came today because I have other matters." Qin Xiajun said in a firm tone.

Upon hearing this unassuming reply, the carving knife in Bo Qianjing’s hand gave a slight lurch as he raised his head and looked sharply at Qin Xiajun. Qin Xiajun frankly met his gaze and said honestly, "I know that Master is very disappointed with my recent performance, and although I have defended myself before, deep down, I have been deeply reflecting on myself."

Bo Qianjing’s face still didn’t have much of an expression on it, and he just asked lightly, "Speak, what is it?"

Bo Qianjing was slightly surprised in his heart, with Qin Xiajun s state nowadays, it is reasonable to say that he should not take the initiative to make any request to himself, unless …… this matter is extremely important to him.

"At the Young Dragon Battle not too long ago, between the Demon Sect’s Young Master, Jian Wuji, and my younger sister, Xia Ling, it seems that they have become slightly involved." Qin Xiajun sighed softly and said slowly, "My sister seems to have moved towards that devil."

Burqian Mirror didn’t say anything, just listened quietly.

"That girl didn’t know any better, but she even invited that devil to participate in the gathering assembly at a later stage, and that devil, nowadays, has secretly infiltrated the Martial Arts Alliance." Qin Xiajun’s tone carried a hint of helplessness and bitterness.

"What did you say? That devil actually infiltrated the Martial Alliance?" A glint flashed in Bo Qianjing’s eyes.

"I only just learned of this matter." Qin Xiajun said, "From the looks of it, that Jian Wuji really seems to be here for Sister She."

Bo Qianjing obviously didn’t believe this and snorted coldly, "That devil is full of tricks, wouldn’t he risk his life alone for a woman? You must not be fooled by his flowery words!"

"What Master said is very true, that Jian Wuji is by no means an idle person, and because of this, I am even more convinced that he must have another purpose for coming here." Qin Xiajun said.

"What do you mean by that?" Burqian Mirror asked.

"May I ask, a person as shrewd as this, how would he make such a stupid move as diving into a dragon pool and tiger’s den alone? Unless ……" Qin Xiajun paused and said word by word, "Unless, he is willing to take a risk for the sake of the word love."

There were a few lines in Qin Xiajun’s words that Jian Wuji had taught him to say.

"Do you think this talk will convince your master?"

"It’s about Sheryl, he has to believe it."

Bo Qianjing’s face was still filled with skepticism as he asked, "So, what do you want me to do?"

Qin Xiajun took a deep breath and uttered a request that was unexpected to Bo Qianjing.

"I would like to ask you, Master, to meet that Jian Wu Ji."

A look of surprise finally appeared on Bo Qianjing’s face, he never expected Qin Xiajun to make such a request.

"What do you mean by that?" Burqian Mirror asked.

"I hope that you, Master, will warn that devil and tell him to stay away from Sher Sister." There was a hint of pleading in Qin Xiajun’s tone.

Bo Qianjing burst into tears and said, "It wasn’t enough for you to be robbed of Tianhua Sect by that devil, but now you want me to help you keep your sister?"
