TBIP: Chapter 31 Part 2

Maybe even Lou Xingyao himself didn’t notice that his originally tense emotions relaxed a lot the moment he saw the other person.

The other person only took a few steps, and he had already walked in front of Lou Xingyao.

It was a technique that seemed to shrink the ground.

At this moment, there was no need to say much. Wen Hanshan already had a rough idea of what was going on.

At the same time, he didn’t need to speak. He swung his sword directly and slashed at the man in white.

However, Wen Hanshan had just made a move when a slightly anxious female voice came from not far away. “Young Master Zhou, please spare him!”

Along with the female voice, there was also a spiritual power that flashed with a blue light in front of the man in white, obviously to stop Wen Hanshan’s movements.

True qi was released. This was a sign of a foundation building cultivator!

It was precisely because the spiritual power blocked for a moment that the man in white, who should’ve been beheaded by Wen Hanshan, found an opportunity to escape.

Without waiting for Wen Hanshan to continue making any moves, the person who had just spoken had already walked out in front of them.

The visitor was wearing a shimmering blue gown. As she moved, the hem of her skirt spread out like ripples in water, reflecting small sparks of light.

The familiar scene evoked a slightly distant memory in Lou Xingyao’s mind.

Looking up, it was indeed a peerless face that was hard for people to forget after seeing it. Her brow was furrowed with a bit of anxiety and also held a touch of deep sorrow.

She was He Wanqing.

Wen Hanshan obviously recognized the person who came. He didn’t take back the sword in his hand, but he didn’t continue to swing the sword at the man in white.

“Thank you, Young Master Zhou, for your mercy.” Seeing this, He Wanqing, who came in a hurry, was relieved. She bowed slightly to Wen Hanshan.

“You know him?” At this time, the man who had been confronting Lou Xingyao just now finally couldn’t help asking a question.

At these words, the gazes of Lou Xingyao and Wen Hanshan directly shifted from He Wanqing to him again.

Finally, Lou Xingyao was able to completely see the appearance of the man in white.

This person had sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and a high nose bridge. Combine this with the moon-white brocade robes that he wore and he presented the image of a noble young master, as elegant and refined as jade.

However, Lou Xingyao always felt that there seemed to be a sense of disobedience about this person. It was said that one’s appearance reflected the heart. Looking at this person’s style, he shouldn’t have such a handsome appearance.

After thinking about it for a long time to no avail, Lou Xingyao could only blame the reason on the fact that he just had a fight with this person.

After all, the two of them almost had a life-or-death feud just now. Even if this man in white had a lofty appearance, it would only be hateful in Lou Xingyao’s eyes.

He Wanqing came late. She didn’t know what happened before, but she could infer a thing or two from the mess now.

She hesitated for a moment when she heard the question of the man in white. Finally, she introduced them. “This is Young Master Zhou, Zhou Hanshan.”

“This is the current heir of the Zhou family, Young Master He, Ye Hantian.” He Wanqing was inevitably a bit embarrassed when she introduced Ye Hantian’s identity.

Obviously, she also realized that Wen Hanshan was the rightful heir of the Zhou family before.

But she was also the daughter carefully taught by the He family. The emotions on her face came and went quickly.

Finally, she looked at Lou Xingyao. She glanced at the hidden aura pendant hanging on the other person’s waist and seemed to have some guesses. However, she couldn’t be sure so she couldn’t speak.

If it was normal, Lou Xingyao would be able to see the other person’s doubts and quickly adjust the disguise on his own body.

But now, his mind was full of He Wanqing’s words.

“This is Young Master Ye, Ye Hantian.”

Previously, Lou Xingyao hadn’t imagined the scene of meeting with Ye Hantian.

After all, in the original novel, Ye Hantian and Wen Hanshan could always meet due to various force majeure coincidences.

As a holy place for training, the Endless Forest naturally became a battlefield where the two of them frequently clashed.

Since he accompanied Wen Hanshan, it was only a matter of time before he met with Ye Hantian, who was the protagonist.

But Lou Xingyao never thought that he would take a step away from Wen Hanshan and meet this so-called protagonist.

At this moment, Lou Xingyao was finally able to understand why the other person obviously had a face that wasn’t inferior to a male star, but he still felt that the other person was hateful.

After all, this was the male protagonist he really hated for a long time while reading the novel!

In addition, the series of contradictory actions just now seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

Wasn’t that the Ye Hantian in the original novel?

He was clearly engaging in acts of murder and robbery, but he insisted on finding a righteous excuse for himself.

In the end, the tragic death became that the person deserved it. Meanwhile, Ye Hantian was a hero who fought for justice, gaining both fame and fortune.

Just when Lou Xingyao’s thoughts were completely occupied by Ye Hantian’s identity, Wen Hanshan noticed He Wanqing’s embarrassment. He didn’t embarrass him and nodded slightly.

He Wanqing felt more assured after receiving the clear hint and continued, “This is Young Master Lou, Lou Xingyao.”

Hearing this, Lou Xingyao also retracted from his thoughts slightly.

He turned his face slightly behind Wen Hanshan and raised a hand to remove all the disguises on his face. Then he turned to He Wanqing and bowed slightly. “Miss He, it has been a while.”

He didn’t have many bad feelings for He Wanqing.

It wasn’t just due to the 100 taels of gold and the two meridians reconnection pills sent by He Wanqing. It was also due to the fact that Mrs. He almost single-handedly handled the matter of the substitute marriage, and He Wanqing didn’t interfere.

This didn’t mean he had a good impression of her.

In Lou Xingyao’s heart, He Wanqing was just a stranger he met by chance in the past. She was no different from most other people he had only met once.

“Young Master Lou, I’m glad you are well.” He Wanqing smiled at him like she did the first time they met. Then she brought up an old matter again. “I don’t know what misunderstanding exists between the young masters?”

Obviously, she didn’t forget the scene where Wen Hanshan swung his sword at Ye Hantian.

Looking at this appearance, she seemed to want to help them resolve the conflict.

Wen Hanshan hadn’t come much earlier than He Wanqing and didn’t know what happened before. Now that he heard this, he couldn’t help looking at Lou Xingyao in a puzzled manner.

Lou Xingyao thought about what happened just now. He was about to speak when an extremely harsh voice rang in his ears.

[He is Zhou Hanshan! Hurry and find a way to kill him!]

What made Lou Xingyao feel harsh wasn’t just the content of these words, but the voice itself.

It was like an old, malfunctioning appliance that emitted a sharp hum, almost like metal forks and knives scraping across a porcelain plate. This brought nothing but mental agony.

At the same time, Lou Xingyao also discovered an abnormality.

This voice didn’t seem to be coming from outside. It was more like it appeared directly in his mind.

Just as he pondered on what was going on, a voice sounded in his head again.

However, it was a grumpy male voice this time. [Kill him? Just look at the momentum of his attack. If it wasn’t for He Wanqing, I would’ve died at his hands! How can I fight him?]

This voice wasn’t unfamiliar to Lou Xingyao. It was the voice of Ye Hantian.

From the content of Ye Hantian’s words, it could be heard that he seemed to be talking to the harsh voice just now.

Realizing this, Lou Xingyao couldn’t help casting an inquiring gaze at Ye Hantian.

Before he could find out why, He Wanqing’s slightly puzzled voice was heard again. “Young Master Lou?”

“I’m afraid you will have to ask Young Master Ye about this matter.” Lou Xingyao came back to his senses and lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the complicated emotions in them.

Seeing that Wen Hanshan seemed to be quite concerned about the contradiction between him and Ye Hantian, he finally carefully explained what just happened.

It was from when he found out that the burly man had murderous intentions toward him to when the dust settled and he was cleaning up the battlefield, only for Ye Hantian to suddenly jump out and shout about eliminating harm for the people.

It also included how Ye Hantian said he had seen everything during the fight between the two of them. He didn’t hide anything.

He Wanqing obviously hadn’t expected the cause of the incident to be like this. The expression on her face was a bit stiff for a while.

After hearing this, killing intent flashed in Wen Hanshan’s eyes. His body moved and he seemed to want to attack Ye Hantian again.

However, his intentions were quickly detected by He Wanqing, and she intervened to stop him. “Young Master Zhou! This time, Young Master Ye came to the Endless Forest with the Zhou family to train and seek an opportunity to break through!”

It seemed that this sentence had no context, but almost everyone present understood what she meant.

Since he came with the Zhou family, he must have the support of a senior cultivator behind him.

Wen Hanshan couldn’t understand the Zhou family’s style of doing things. Then after a bit of thought, he already had an answer in his heart.

This person’s cultivation inevitably wouldn’t be lower than the peak of foundation building.

If the Zhou family really attached as much importance to Ye Hantian as rumored, it might even be possible for them to send a golden core cultivator to support him.

Killing Ye Hantian with a single strike at this moment was no challenge for him. Even silencing He Wanqing alongside him wouldn’t be difficult.

However, it couldn’t be hidden from the eyes of the supporter afterwards.

According to the status of Ye Hantian in the Zhou family, Wen Hanshan and the Zhou family would inevitably fall into an endless argument if he really made a move now.

As the former heir of the Zhou family, Wen Hanshan knew better than anyone that the Zhou family had more than one golden core cultivator!

He Wanqing’s words were a reminder and a warning.

[Look at him like this. You still want me to kill him? It is good if he doesn’t kill me now!]

At this moment, Ye Hantian’s voice once again rang in Lou Xingyao’s mind.

He looked up and saw Ye Hantian looking at Wen Hanshan. In addition to anger, there was a bit of fear in his eyes. What did Lou Xingyao not understand?

This was Ye Hantian’s heart voice.

As for the slightly harsh voice, Lou Xingyao already had a guess.

It was either a system or a portable grandfather.

Sure enough, the next moment, the piercing voice appeared in Lou Xingyao’s mind again. [What are you afraid of? Don’t you have me?]

[What is the use of having you? The last time when I got the spirit cleansing plant, you told me that you were there. Then what happened? I was almost killed by the fourth-grade demon beast’s claw!] Ye Hantian was very dissatisfied and shouted at the voice in his head.

[Aren’t you living a good life now?] The voice seemed a bit puzzled by Ye Hantian’s anger.

[But I almost lost half my life! Then what did you tell me? In order to save me, a lot of energy was consumed, and you wanted me to replenish it with spirit beads. It was a whole 3,000 spirit beads! Do you know that the old immortal of the Zhou family almost chopped me alive at that time?]

Ye Hantian immediately brought up the old accounts with the thing in his mind.

Due to this, Lou Xingyao also captured a lot of information that he wanted.

It was linked to energy, so it should probably be a system.

In addition, Ye Hantian was actually attacked by a fourth-grade demon beast when he obtained the spirit cleansing plant.

According to the division of Tianming Continent, a fourth-grade demon beast already had the strength to rival a golden core cultivator.

This system could allow Ye Hantian to escape death. It seemed to be very capable.

Wen Hanshan’s sword intent had reached the realm of perfection, but he hadn’t established his foundation. Thus, he wasn’t comparable to a golden core cultivator.

If Wen Hanshan insisted on acting, it was difficult to guarantee that the system wouldn’t have some trump card.
