Chapter 113: Fury from Murong Xiong (1)
“Who on earth are you?” Murong Qingyan squinted his eyes and looked at the man in front with shock and confusion.
She could sense the imposing manner from the man despite this was merely the second time they met. Extremely handsome face, utterly unfathomable cultivation, a mysterious and powerful aura, the poise that he showed when he presented himself, all of that indicated his identity was one that they might aspire to but could never attain.
“Me?” Hearing Murong Qingyan, the man in black suddenly approached her and whispered, “Huangfu Jue, my name. You need to remember it.”
At the moment, Murong Qingyan didn’t know this name would entangle with her for a lifetime.
“Huangfu Jue?”
Murong Qingyan was sure she had never heard the name, and the name did not make it to the list of the well-known cultivators on the land. But the man had an unfathomable strength so, by no means was he a nobody.
“Remember the name.” Huangfu Jue smiled at Murong Qingyan then left with his guard.
Seeing Huang Fujue’s receding figure, Murong Qingyan frowned. She felt Huangfu Jue so strange, but she knew he had no hostility towards her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given a hand when she was in great danger.
“Master, are you ok?” Just when Murong Qingyan was lost in thought, Xiao Bai jumped up and threw itself into her arms, crying with a runny nose, “I’m so happy that it all turned out well. I was so scared just now and I didn’t know what to do if some mishaps really happened to you.”
Huangfu Jue removed the Banning Boundary when he was leaving. Otherwise, Xiao Bai now would still be imprisoned and dying to break free.
Regaining freedom, the first thing Xiao Bai did was to throw itself into her arms and cry.
“Ok, stop crying.” Seeing Xiao Bai wailing in her arms, Murong Qingyan shook her head helplessly, “I’m ok now! And moreover, I’ve directly reached the top of the advanced stage of the Melting Level thanks to the misfortune.”
“I’m so sorry, master. That’s all my fault.” Xiao Bai stopped crying, lowered its head and said with guilt, “If I had done a better job on identifying the fire in Qiuyuan Yi’s body, you wouldn’t have been in face of danger.”
“You didn’t mean it either.” Murong Qingyan gently patted Xiao Bai’s head and said, “But Xiao Bai, how come the fire managed to fool you?”
Xiao Bai was not a beast, it was an ancient mythical creature Bai Ze. How could it mistake the fire of the earth’s core for fire?
“I don’t know.” Xiao Bai scratched its head with regrets in its eyes, “I have always sensed the fire in Qiuyuan Yi’s body was the sub fire of it. The noumena of the holy fire and the sub fire have a big difference. Back then I clearly sensed the fire in Qiuyuan Yi’s body wasn’t earth’s core, but merely the sub fire of it.”
“But when you drew the fire out, I felt something strange. No way could the sub fire have such strong power. It’s the holy fire itself. But it was too late when I tried to stop it.”
“That’s it.” Murong Qingyan connected the dots, then sighed, “So it’s a miracle for Qiuyuan Yi to be alive now! If a person sows the holy fire in his body and doesn’t melt it, he must have been completely burned.”
“If I know in his body is the holy fire itself, on no account would I allow you to take the risk.” Xiao Bai pouted and said, “Unexpectedly, there is such a mistake. Thanks to Huangfu Jue, or you’ll still be in danger.”
Xiao Bai was there when the man in black showed up, though it stayed a little far from them, it could hear what they said. So, it knew the man who helped its master was called Huangfu Jue.
“Xiao Bai, why didn’t you come just now?” It just occurred to Murong Qingyan Xiao Bai just came to her after the man in black left, so she asked promptly, “What happened to you Xiao Bai, why Huangfu Jue was able to come close to me?”
“Master, I did not let that happen on purpose.” Hearing Murong Qingyan mention the matter, Xiao Bai tried to explain, “I wanted to keep him away from you when he was coming. But he was so strong that I was swept aside when he just waved his hands. And then he even trapped me in a powerful Banning Boundary.”
