Immortal Soaring Blade

Vol.3-Chapter 38 – Parting on Bad Terms

Lin Bo Re’s beautiful eyes contained a bit of shock and confusion. She didn’t know who this Pei Su Su was or why she was accompanying Zhao Jiuge. From how close they looked, it didn’t look like they had just met.

After this, Lin Bo Re no longer paid attention to Pei Su Su. Since she wasn’t Bai Qingqing, there was no need to continue. She had only asked to satisfy her own curiosity.

However, just because Lin Bo Re didn’t want to continue, that didn’t mean Pei Su Su was going to miss this chance. She had never been wronged before in her life, but she had suffered a hidden loss against Lin Bo Re. She wanted to get some payback. If it wasn’t for the fact that she deeply loved Zhao Jiuge, she would have let this matter go easily that night. After all, Zhao Jiuge had agreed to meet her again in five years. Who knew that not only would that blockhead miss the meeting, he would even propose to another woman!

“Tell me how you charmed my blockhead to the point that he was running in circles.” Pei Su Su smiled at the cold and noble Lin Bo Re. She was clearly looking for trouble.

Zhao Jiuge let out a sigh. He looked at Lin Bo Re and then at Pei Su Su. He was smart and decided to remain silent. A single mistake in front of these two fiercely tempered women would spell doom for him.

Facing the provocative Pei Su Su, Lin Bo Re remained cold and her expression didn’t change at all. She acted like Pei Su Su didn’t even exist and didn’t even look at her directly. She turned and was ready to leave.

“Stop! I hate ice queens like you the most, who look at everyone like they owe you something. Just because you got a few men pursuing you, you act all arrogant? You seduce him but don’t dare to admit it?”

Seeing Lin Bo Re try to leave while completely ignoring her caused Pei Su Su’s temper to erupt.

Pride? While growing up, whether it was before her father or others in the sect, she was like a princess. She had almost lost the man she loved, and her rival in love was acting like this. At this moment, all the negative emotions she was holding back erupted.

An invisible aura erupted and her Nascent Soul Realm cultivation spread out. She didn’t release her aura toward Lin Bo Re, but it was already an act of provocation.

The Pei Su Su’s green robe trembled slightly as her beautiful eyes looked sharply at Lin Bo Re. Her hair was draped over her shoulder, and at this moment, she looked like a goddess.

Everyone, including Zhao Jiuge, was a bit stunned by Pei Su Su and were immersed in her appearance. The Water Moon Temple disciples remained silent and were afraid of getting caught up in the battle.

.

Feeling the Nascent Soul Realm fluctuations, Lin Bo Re stopped. Only now did she seriously look at Pei Su Su.

Looking at the woman who was her equal in appearance, she felt a slight pain in her heart. She could accept her rejection of Zhao Jiuge, but she couldn’t accept that a man she had rejected had such an exceptional woman with him.

“What did I do? And what does it have to do with you!?”

After being shouted at and provoked like this, even with her cold personality, she couldn’t help but feel anger.

“Don’t think you can do as you wish just because you have some strength. I’ll tell you now that there is always someone better out there.”

After Lin Bo Re finished speaking, she turned to leave. Once he learned about the relationship between Zhao Jiuge and Pei Su Su, she no longer needed to stay. She had come out to train and knew they were not part of the same world. There was nothing in common between them, and she would naturally leave to travel the world alone.

“Today I’m going to do as I wish! What can you do about it? Today, I want to experience the might of a disciple from the Hundred Flower Valley!”

The moment Lin Bo Re spoke, Pei Su Su’s temper erupted. She had wanted to find a good reason to find trouble with Lin Bo Re, and this gave her the perfect reason.

Her Nascent Soul Realm pressure immediately rushed toward Lin Bo Re. This action caused Lin Bo Re’s calm expression to finally change.

Pei Su Su’s actions clearly meant that she was looking for trouble. Lin Bo Re was too lazy to argue with Pei Su Su, but Pei Su Su continued to be very aggressive. Now that Pei Su Su had directly released her spirit force, it was like a slap to the face. Not to mention, Pei Su Su had mentioned the Hundred Flower Valley, and if she backed down, it would be a sign of weakness.

Feeling the Nascent Soul Realm pressure around her, Lin Bo Re let out a cold snort. Her mid stage Nascent Soul Realm aura spread out, causing the corners of her long dress to flutter. Their cultivation was the same!

They were evenly matched and neither held the advantage, but this made the nearby Water Moon Temple Disciples suffer. Their pressure made their bodies tense up, and they were trembling under this pressure. Fortunately, the two pressures were not targeted at them—they were just caught up in it.

Seeing Lin Bo Re finally react, there was a hint of excitement in Pei Su Su’s eyes. She was feeling reckless. She never had to hide her feelings while growing up, so she really disliked people like Lin Bo Re. With today’s battle, she wanted to show Zhao Jiuge how much more determined her heart was compared to Lin Bo Re, who had rejected the marriage proposal!

“Both of you, stop!”

Just when they were about to fight, an angry cry erupted. This immediately caused the tense atmosphere to stop for a moment.

Zhao Jiuge frowned deeply. He looked at Lin Bo Re and then at Pei Su Su. He angrily said, “What are you two making a fuss for? Why are you two starting a fight over nothing?”

He couldn’t interject when they were just arguing, but now they were actually going to fight. His roar had indeed stopped them.

“Lin Bo Re, if you have something to do, then leave. There is nothing between us now; pretend we have never met. I’ll apologize in place of Su Su for what happened.”

Seeing both of them stop, Zhao Jiuge let out a gentle sigh. He looked at Lin Bo Re with a complicated gaze that contained a hint of apology, gloominess, and even a trace of affection.

Hearing Zhao Jiuge’s slightly strange words, Lin Bo Re was not affected at all. She still acted like she didn’t care about anything.

Then her eyes narrowed and she took a long look at Zhao Jiuge. Then she resolutely turned and flew away without saying a word to him. That gaze just now was either her trying to firmly remember Zhao Jiuge’s face or trying to cut off this relationship that never started.

Pei Su Su’s beautiful face revealed a hint of pride and she felt happy. She slowly withdrew her spirit force. Although she hadn’t been allowed to fight to vent her anger, Zhao Jiuge’s decisive words made her very happy.

“And you, why are you making a move against an outsider? You had to go find trouble where there was none. Is this fun? You still have the face to smile?”

Seeing Pei Su Su smiling, Zhao Jiuge angrily stared at her.

However, this just made her smile even wider. Her smile was like a blooming flower, and it stunned Zhao Jiuge. Although she was being reprimanded by Zhao Jiuge, Pei Su Su was still very happy. In the end, this block of wood’s heart was hers. If Zhao Jiuge dared to scold her like this normally, she would have already pulled his ear.

Lin Bo Re had already left, so it was impossible to see her face. When she heard those words, she paused for a moment and her shoulders trembled a bit. However, she soon recovered and continued walking away.

At the same time, she felt like a needle had stabbed her heart. She was now considered an outsider to him. This made her smile bitterly.

Perhaps only now did she understand how Zhao Jiuge must have felt when she rejected him during the marriage proposal. Perhaps his feelings were even stronger.

However, even if she understood now, so what? It was too late to fix things. But even if she could go back in time, she would’ve still made the same decision. She was going to put down her emotions and pursue immortality.

Seeing Lin Bo Re finally leave, the disciples of the Water Moon Temple finally let out sighs of relief. That tension from earlier made it so they were afraid of even breathing too loudly.

The Water Moon Temple disciples looked at Lin Bo Re leave and then looked at Zhao Jiuge with looks of worship. Only someone like Zhao Jiuge would reject Senior Sister Lin like this. In the Yan province, every disciple looked at her with admiration.

When they saw Pei Su Su beside Zhao Jiuge, they couldn’t help but feel emotional. He certainly didn’t lack women around him, and each of them was like a goddess. Bai Qingqing presumably wasn’t much worse.

The three male disciples from the Water Moon Temple basically had the word “envy” written on their faces. Even the two female disciples had the appearance of wanting to express their feelings, but they didn’t dare to.

Several things had happened at once. The Water Moon Temple disciple quickly walked to greet Zhao Jiuge and then left. After all, they still had to deal with what had happened with the Giant Sword Sect, and this was not a safe place to stay. Who knew if those over-protective elders from the Giant Sword Sect would do something reckless.

“Senior Brother Zhao and Sen… Senior Sister Pei, we’ll leave first. If fate allows it, we’ll meet again at the Battle Competition in two years,” the burly Senior Brother Zhang said while clasping his hands However, when he saw Pei Su Su, he began to stutter and didn’t know how to address her. After all, her cultivation was too terrifying. There was even a faint hint of red on his face. Zhao Jiuge couldn’t help but chuckle and felt bad for him.

“Yes, you guys go first. We need to leave the Yan Province and continue our journey eastward.”

Zhao Jiuge nodded slightly with a smile when he spoke. He had a very good impression of this Water Moon Temple disciple who looked like a burly man but had a very soft voice.

The disciples of the Water Moon Temple quickly said their goodbyes and flew away on their various treasures. There were flashes of colorful light in the sky, and their figures quickly disappeared.
