Chapter 432: After a long While

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

"Yunzhou, it's been a while."

In a place that was full of green and full of ancient trees, Ling Xian closed his eyes and inhaled the familiar air. He couldn't help but to reveal a faint smile.

He was back. Finally back.

Seven years of anticipation, seven years of emotions, he had finally returned to his homeland as he wished. The joy he felt was faint, but it was warm. He felt re-energized by this emotion.

"Seven years… it's been far too long. Yunzhou, I am finally back." Ling Xian's lips curled back, then he lifted his arms, as if trying to embrace this familiar place.

Back then, Xiao Yao smashed the spatial portal and caused a space turbulence that sent him to Shi Ao Island. Since then, it had been seven years. These seven years, he had been living in a strange place. Though life hadn't treated him that badly, he felt somewhat estranged to the islands.

However, Ling Xian had no regrets.

The experience was a valuable one, his rewards were also shocking. Other than his dominating capability, the treasures he had gained were not things normal people could get their hands on.

On the side, Luo Xin Jie raised an eyebrow and said in dissatisfaction, "This is Yunzhou? But… my destination is Yuezhou."

"Then it can't be helped."

Ling Xian grinned, "I didn't set an exact spot. Those spiritual stones simply felt the Yunzhou atmosphere on me, and transported me to here. Also, I simply promised you to transport you to the nine continents, I never specified where."

"You are quibbling." Luo Xin Jie raised an eyebrow, "I don't care. Make another portal and send me to Yuezhou."

"Hey, Luo Xin Jie, you really think portals are like lettuces? Is it that easy to set one up? Don't kid with me." Ling Xian shook his head, "I don't have any solution. You can either fly to Yuezhou, or you can search around and find an existing portal on Yunzhou to go back."

"You…"

Luo Xin Jie's brows were locked tightly together, but they relaxed very quickly. Revealing an enchanting smile, she smiled flirtatiously, "Hey, I am a weak woman in an unfamiliar place. What if a strange man has bad intentions about me? What will I do?"

"Weak woman?"

Ling Xian grinned and teased, "What kind of weak woman behaves as aggressive as you? You had an advantage over someone at the peak of the completion level."

"Aya, I do not care. I want you to send me to Yuezhou." Luo Xin Jie continued her flirtatious smile that could suck souls out of men.

One has to admit that she was very charming, enough to bring many to their knees. To any men, they will find her hard to resist. Sadly, she chose the wrong man.

Ling Xian had a very determined mind and was fully aware of Luo Xin Jie's terror. Why would he be tricked by her appearance? He softly smiled, "Luo Xin Jie, go find other people. I don't have the fortune to be alongside you."

He then marched forward.

Though this was land of Yunzhou, he had never been here. Thus, he decided to walk out of this forest and find someone to ask first. Then, he will go to the Qin Dynasty's City of Qing.

"Damn that man." Luo Xin Jie glared him down but exhaled helplessly. She followed.

It wasn't that she had no ability to return to Yuezhou herself, she simply wanted to follow Ling Xian around and look around Yunzhou.

Just like that, they walked on. While enjoying the scenery, they asked around for where to go.

After two hours, Ling Xian finally found out where he was located and found out the way to the Qin Dynasty. Thus, he didn't waste time here and headed there right away.

Luo Xin Jie acted like a shadow that followed him around. She refused to leave him and despite Ling Xian's unwillingness, there was nothing he could do.

During the journey, the two walked for some time and stopped for some time, they didn't rush.

One was because Ling Xian finally returned to his homeland and thus was at ease. Two was because every new place he went, he checked out the local auctions. It wasn't that he needed any treasure, it was that he wanted to buy some gifts for the Ling Clan.

Even though Ling Xian's success today is not at all related to the Ling family, his last name was Ling. On top of that, the Ling Clan had treated him well, at the very least, they gave him a home and didn't let him roam around homeless.

Now he was famous, he was powerful, he had to thank the Ling Clan. After all, it wasn't that difficult. If he can bring so much happiness to the Ling Clan using so little effort, why wouldn't he do it?

Just like that, after Ling Xian searched and found many techniques, treasures, and Dans, did he stop his visits to auctions.

However, him wanting to focus on the going to the Qi Dynasty didn't mean Luo Xin Jie wanted to.

During his journey, this woman continuously poked fun at Ling Xian, teased him and taunted him. Her alluring and devious ways would have led any man to feel the urge to knock her down.

Ling Xian was no exception. Despite his determination, he could not handle Luo Xin Jie's continuous teasing. He was full of helplessness and finally, he charged out at this woman.

The result was a sad one. He didn't win, but he didn't lose neither. They tied. After this war, Ling Xian felt even more complex towards this woman. He truly found her very eerie and hard to read.

He wanted to get rid of her very badly. Sadly, this woman seemed to have clung onto him like a piece of gum that could not be ditched.

After a while, Ling Xian finally gave up completely. He let her do whatever she wanted. After all, he was a man and he wasn't going to be taken advantage of.

Just like that, the two of them walked on. It took an entire month to finally arrive to the City of Qing.

"The City of Qing, finally…."

Staring at the giant characters on the city wall, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with nostalgia.

Since the day he left the City of Qing, it had been eight years. Eight years ago, he was merely a young cultivator in the meditation level. In Yunzhou, he was a nobody. But today, he had grown into a completion levelled powerhouse. In the entire Yunzhou, he was now a figure with status.

This transformation only took eight years. In eight years he had grown into a giant tree. One has to admit that this was unbelievable.

"This is where you're from?"

Luo Xin Jie's expression was of strangeness, "Interesting, I cannot believe you were born in such a place. I thought you were a descendant bred by some powerful House."

"Are you complimenting me?" Ling Xian smiled, "It doesn't take a powerful force to raise a powerful person. A small place can do it as well."

"That is true." Luo Xin Jie nodded soft and beamed, "So you have returned to home."

"You could say that."

Ling Xian's lips curled up and his eyes flashed with anticipation, "Let's go. It's been eight years since I've been back. It's time to visit my old friends."
