Chapter 295: Luo Qinghan’s departure

“Seventh Brother, I’ve come to find you this time to ask you to use the connections you have with the Lightning Sword Sect to get your contact to monitor Zhou Donghuang’s actions… Once it is confirmed that he has left the Lightning Sword Sect, we can send someone to murder him!”

Qi Rui spoke in a harsh tone. “Not only did he disregard me personally, indirectly, but he also disregarded the Qi Dynasty, and this cannot be tolerated!

“Furthermore, it is clear that he has no intention to join the Qi Dynasty. Who knows if he intends to join the Guangling Academy? The Guangling Academy is our Qi Dynasty’s direct nemesis, and we cannot allow the Guangling Academy to take him in!

“Since the Qi Dynasty can’t have him, let’s destroy him!”

Qi Rui spoke with a forceful tone, and it sounded as if he had a huge grudge against Zhou Donghuang.

However, after hearing Qi Rui’s words, Qi Feng maintained his neutral expression and spoke casually in reply. “Little brother, could it be that in extending your invitation, you were not sincere enough and rushed him for a decision? True talents are often arrogant and hard to sway.”

Qi Feng himself was talented and could have been considered one of the most outstanding princes of the Qi Dynasty. Naturally, he had assumed that Zhou Donghuang of the Lightning Sword Sect would similarly possess the same high level of arrogance.

“Seventh Brother, you weren’t present then. If not, I can guarantee that you would have wanted to give him a slap as well!” Qi Rui said.

“Whether or not we should kill him is not something we should decide now… You have not shared this news with Father, right?” Qi Feng asked.

“No.” Qi Rui shook his head. “I only returned recently with Uncle Chu Wei. According to him, this matter should be reported to Father by you.”

“Ah, he is obliging indeed.”

Qi Feng smiled lightly. “Alright, this matter does not concern you any further. I will share this news with Father now. Afterwards, I will probably pay the Lightning Sword Sect a visit and extend a personal invitation to Zhou Donghuang to visit the Qi Dynasty.”

“What if he rejects the offer yet again?”

Qi Rui was doubtful that Zhou Donghuang would change his mind and join the Qi Dynasty.

“If he rejects my offer, well… As per what you said earlier, for what we can’t possess, we will destroy so as not to create complications for ourselves in the future.”

Once Qi Feng had spoken, a look of murderous intent entered his eyes.

…

It was late at night.

Under the moonlight, an unsuspecting guest suddenly appeared at the galaxy teleporter on the outskirts of the Jihan Sect.

“It’s time to leave.”

A beautiful young lady dressed in purely green robes spoke lightly before she entered the galaxy teleporter. She chose a discrete teleportation path, and she did not know where she was being sent to as she dialed in the request.

This girl was no ordinary figure; she was a disciple of the Jihan Sect, Luo Qinghan.

With yet another request for teleportation, Luo Qinghan’s consciousness slowly drifted… Many years ago, she had used this same method and ended up on the Ziyun planet. Afterwards, she had a fateful encounter with the young man called Zhou Donghuang.

In her eyes, that had been a fateful encounter.

She had assumed that after she left the Ziyun planet and returned home, she would never meet Zhou Donghuang again.

However, not only had Zhou Donghuang appeared before her very eyes yet again, he had even gifted her father and grandmother with many presents… Those favors were things that she could probably never repay him for even with her entire life.

A good lady deserved a gentleman, and this outstanding young man had naturally captured Luo Qinghan’s girlish heart.

Had she been moved by Zhou Donghuang?

It was undeniable to Luo Qinghan that she indeed had been moved by him.

“Perhaps, it is hard for us to meet again… but again, perhaps, we will meet in the future. I hoped that I would have caught up to you by now. If there really is such a fateful day in the future, perhaps I will be less indecisive at that point.

“The promise I, Luo Qinghan, made to you, I will never forget… Be it whether you are alive or dead, even if any other outstanding young men appear before me, I will not engage in any romantic relations with them.”

As she spoke softly to herself, a white figure suitably appeared in Luo Qinghan’s brain.

This figure in white was almost identical to Zhou Donghuang. However, the figure had on a mask, and his face was hidden, and it was thus hard to ascertain his identity.

This was Zhuge Haotian.

Whoosh!

Once the galaxy teleporter cast out a blinding flash of light, Luo Qinghan’s figure immediately disappeared, and it was as if she had never visited the teleporter.

A short while after Luo Qinghan had left, within the Jihan Sect, some disciples eventually found the message she had left behind, and the news of her departure also spread to the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping’s ears, within a short period of time.

Within the Jihan Sect, although Luo Qinghan was considered to have rather decent abilities, due to the fact that there were many other outstanding individuals, she was not the most popular and could only be considered one of the slightly above average disciples.

If someone of her level left the sect without any prior notice, the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping, would not have cared much, and others would not have bothered to notify her as well.

However, it was different in the case of Luo Qinghan.

Although Luo Qinghan’s martial arts skills were average, and it was unlikely that she would be immensely successful, the issue was that she was in a relationship with the talented disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang!

If Luo Qinghan remained in the Jihan Sect, the Jihan Sect would be considered one of her homes, and any of Zhou Donghuang’s future successes would be attributed to not just the Lightning Sword Sect but also the Jihan Sect!

Now, however, Luo Qinghan had left without any notice and had only left a letter behind.

“Sect Leader, do you think Luo Qinghan left our sect to visit Zhou Donghuang at the Lightning Sword Sect?” the Jihan Sect elder who reported this news guessed aloud.

“Let’s pay a visit to the Lightning Sword Sect together.”

Meng Yuping’s eyes sparkled. “If Luo Qinghan is indeed at the Lightning Sword Sect, we have to convince her to return here with us. I am willing to accept her as a direct disciple and allow her to enjoy luxurious treatment within the Jihan Sect.”

Zhou Donghuang’s achievements were too stunning to ignore.

Now, as Zhou Donghuang had not yet reached his full potential, she and the Jihan Sect could use Luo Qinghan and Zhou Donghuang’s relationship to their advantage. Once Zhou Donghuang had fully developed himself, the Jihan Sect and Meng Yuping would definitely be held in high regard!

Without any hesitation, once she had spoken, Meng Yuping brought the elder that had reported this piece of news to her and left the Jihan Sect, heading directly for the Lightning Sword Sect through the galaxy teleporter. They were sent to the Tielao planet, where it was situated.

Once they had arrived, they immediately visited the Lightning Sword Sect.

“Luo Qinghan?”

Once he had heard that Luo Qinghan had left the Jihan Sect, the Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, was shocked as well, and he replied casually to Meng Yuping, “Unfortunately, I have little information on this matter as well… Perhaps you would like to visit the Autumn Valley Head about this?

“If Luo Qinghan visited the Lightning Sword Sect, she would definitely pay the Autumn Valley a visit as Zhou Donghuang resides within the Autumn Valley,” Yu Yucheng said.

“Sect Leader Yu, if it’s convenient, do accompany me,” Meng Yuping said.

Yu Yucheng glanced meaningfully at Meng Yuping before nodding his head. “Alright.”

Towards this sudden visit by Meng Yuping, the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, was also a little shocked.

However, after hearing that Luo Qinghan had left the Jihan Sect, he shook his head. “She did not visit the Autumn Valley. As for Zhou Donghuang, he has isolated himself for training, and I did not hear of any news that he had brought Luo Qinghan over.”

Eventually, He Jin still brought Meng Yuping to where Zhou Donghuang resided.

As for Zhou Donghuang, who had been training hard, he got a shock as well.

“Has anything happened to Luo Qinghan?”

This was the first sentence that Zhou Donghuang had uttered once he had left his room and met with the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping.

He had had no interaction with the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping, before and thus assumed that something had happened to Luo Qinghan since she was now paying him a physical visit.

“She hasn’t come to find you?”

Once Zhou Donghuang had left his room, Meng Yuping’s gaze focused solely on him as if she was trying to read him, but she did not manage to infer anything.

“No.”

Zhou Donghuang shook his head and frowned at the same time. “Did something happen to her?”

“She has left the Jihan Sect, and she left a note behind before leaving. She mentioned that if there’s a chance in the future, she would like to give back to our sect to thank us for aiding her with her training.”

As Meng Yuping spoke, she took out the letter that Luo Qinghan had left behind and passed it to Zhou Donghuang.

Once Zhou Donghuang read the letter, he pocketed it before saying, “Perhaps she has returned home… Of course, it is possible as well that she did not and went elsewhere.”

“Do you know where she lives?’ Meng Yuping asked.

“I do.”

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head and followed Meng Yuping and He Jin on a visit to the Luohe galaxy’s Tianxuan planet, where the Luo family resided. However, as Zhou Donghuang had predicted, Luo Qinghan had not gone home.

“What’s the matter?”

Be it the head of the Luo family, Luo Wuchen, or Luo Qinghan’s grandmother, once they had been notified that Luo Qinghan had left the Jihan Sect, they were rendered speechless, and their facial expressions changed.

Once they had heard of Zhou Donghuang’s astounding performance in the Alliance Hunt, Li Yu smiled bitterly. “One thing about that girl is that she is truly too stubborn… Actually, I could tell long ago that she was interested in you, Donghuang.

“From when she was young till now, she has always felt that women should be independent and not depend on strong men… You’re too outstanding, and she probably felt slightly threatened.

“She probably left the Jihan Sect for an alternative destination to see if she could catch up to you… if she stayed in the Hengliu galaxy, she would be living in your shadow forever…”

In the entire world, the person who understood Luo Qinghan best was definitely her grandmother, Li Yu. Even her father, Luo Wuchen, did not understand Luo Qinghan half as well.

“Let’s hope that silly girl, Luo Qinghan is doing well.”

Luo Wuchen had on a bitter smile as well as he glanced casually at Meng Yuping, thanking her repeatedly. “Sect Leader Meng, I can’t believe you spent time visiting us personally over the matters of my daughter, especially in your position as the esteemed Sect Leader. I appreciate it.”

A Divine Transformation adept had actually traveled to the Tianxuan planet within the Luohe galaxy to the Luo family home simply for Luo Qinghan’s sake! If this news were to spread, it would definitely be hot gossip among the entire Tianxuan planet and possibly even the Luohe galaxy!

One had to know that there were no Divine Transformation adepts within the Luohe galaxy.

“You’re too kind, Sir Luo.”

Meng Yuping smiled slightly and did not act condescendingly despite the fact that Luo Wuchen was merely a Dharma adept. Instead, she was friendly and personable. “If Luo Qinghan ever returns home, do help me pass on the message that we would like for her to return to the Jihan Sect… Before she left, I had already intended to take her on as a direct disciple. However, before I could make an announcement regarding this matter, she already left.

“If she returns home, do inform her that as long as she returns to the Jihan Sect, we will spare no resources in training her!”
