Chapter 663: Chapter 590 Pre-match Encounter

Night had completely fallen, and the Tian Shan Sword Sect was brightly lit. Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up, it was like a never-sleeping city suspended in the sky, exceptionally magnificent.

Under the night sky, four figures appeared on the mountain path leading to the Tian Shan Sword Sect.

The leader, dressed in a red cape, had an oval face, fox-like eyes, a high bridge nose, and thick red lips. Her seductive aura radiated from within, like a witch from the Netherworld, charming all beings.

Following her was a young man with a bowl haircut and a long, thin braid hanging down the back, giving off a rather distinctive and unruly vibe.

Behind the young man was a young woman wearing a white hat, a white down jacket, legs wrapped in white cotton stockings, and paired with white ankle boots. She looked just like Princess Bai Xue from a fairy tale, setting off against the scenery of Mount Tian beautifully.

The woman at the end was dressed in a black mink coat, paired with black leather pants and black knee-high boots. Her all-black outfit, combined with her cold and distant demeanor, made her look like a black rose—admirable from afar but too sacred for profanity.

They were none other than Chu Ji, Su Yuxin, Situ Ruoshui, and Su Jindi.

Chu Ji was well aware of Ye Fan’s strength, knowing that the upcoming matches were without suspense or difficulty for him—according to the schedule of the Qing bang competition, Ye Fan was to duel Leng Feng tomorrow!

Therefore, Chu Ji didn’t bring Su Yuxin and the others to watch the competition at the start, but waited until the critical moment of the top ten round-robin competition before bringing the four of them here.

"Wow, we’re finally here!"

Seeing the brightly lit square of the Tian Shan Sword Sect right before their eyes, Su Jindi, like a starving man who had discovered a naked beauty, had his eyes shining with excitement.

Behind Su Jindi, Su Yuxin and Situ Ruoshui were also somewhat excited, partly because they could see Ye Fan again, but more importantly, they were about to meet Su Liuli!

They had learned from Chu Ji that Su Liuli was also participating in the Qing bang competition!

"The betting has started, the betting has started, the odds for tomorrow’s big battle between Ye Bai and Emperor Bai are out, Emperor Bai winning at 1.6 odds, Ye Fan winning at 2.0 odds!"

"Such low odds, that’s outright robbery, a dark house!"

Before Chu Ji and her party entered the square, they saw it was crammed with people; in the center of the square, someone stood on a ring and was calling out the odds loudly, causing the surrounding cultivators to curse.

However—

Despite their complaints, those cultivators still flocked towards the center of the square, ready to place their bets.

After all, the Qing bang competition happened only once every two years and this session was the most gold-worthy!

Even more crucial, the life-and-death battle between Ye Fan and Emperor Bai was a once-in-a-century event—if they didn’t place a bet on it, it would be a true pity!

"Excuse me, little brother, wasn’t the match between Ye Fan and Emperor Bai scheduled for the day after tomorrow? Why has it been changed to tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Chu Ji’s expression changed slightly, she stepped forward and grabbed a young cultivator who was about to squeeze towards the center of the square, asking with confusion.

Uh?

The young cultivator turned around subconsciously, and upon seeing Chu Ji up close, along with Su Yuxin and Situ Ruoshui behind her, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

"It was originally the day after tomorrow, but because someone got a bye in today’s competition, the match between Ye Fan, the Evil Emperor’s Disciple, and Yanhuang Organization’s genius Leng Feng was brought forward to today. Accordingly, the match between the Evil Emperor’s Disciple Ye Fan and Little Saber King Bai Di was also moved to tomorrow," the young cultivator finally snapped out of his daze after a few seconds of staring at the three beauties. Then he explained nervously, his face turning slightly red.

"Did Brother Ye win today?" Situ Ruoshui couldn’t help but ask; she had heard from Chu Ji that Leng Feng was a genius only second to Emperor Bai and might pose some threat to Ye Fan.

"Do you even have to ask? Brother Ye is supremely brave and powerful, slaying gods and exterminating Buddhas wherever they stand!" Su Jindi expressed her unwavering confidence in Ye Fan as usual.

"This little brother is not wrong, the Evil Emperor’s Disciple displayed his assassination technique today and showed his divine might..." As the young cultivator began to recount today’s great battle with enthusiasm, hoping to gain the favor of the three beautiful women, Chu Ji and her group had already departed, heading directly towards the Tian Shan Sword Sect’s gate.

At the gate of the Tian Shan Sword Sect, Ye Fan and Su Liuli, who had received news in advance, stood there waiting for the arrival of the four.

Among them, Su Liuli had a very complex expression, a mix of anticipation, joy, as well as nervousness and unease.

Noticing this, Ye Fan was clear as a mirror in his heart.

In the past, Su Liuli had subjectively assumed that a future with Ye Fan was hopeless. To avoid affecting Ye Fan and Su Yuxin, she had left a confession letter and departed without saying goodbye.

Later, she headed south and met the Buddhist Supreme Bodhi Wuyin, who took her as a disciple. She converted to the Buddhist sect and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Now, she had to face Su Yuxin and Situ Ruoshui. On one hand, she did not know how to explain her past actions; on the other hand, she didn’t know how to tell them that she would be following Bodhi Wuyin in her practice and that they would seldom see each other in the future.

"Liu Li, I believe, no matter what decision you make, Yuxin will support you. Ruoshui and Su Jindi feel the same," Ye Fan saw through Su Liuli’s thoughts and spoke to comfort her.

"Mm."

Hearing Ye Fan say this, Su Liuli felt much more emotionally stable.

However—

Five minutes later, as Chu Ji and her group arrived at the gates of Tian Shan Sword Sect, Su Liuli’s expression still changed.

With a complex look on her face, she stared at the approaching Su Yuxin, Situ Ruoshui, and Su Jindi, her mouth slightly open, frozen.

"Liu Li."

Su Yuxin’s body trembled, and she felt a twinge in her nose as she was the first to call out.

"Sister Liuli!"

Situ Ruoshui was overcome with excitement and ran straight towards Su Liuli.

"Su Liuli, I heard you were taken in by the Buddhist Supreme as a successor, you’ve received the legacy. They say you’re the number one amongst the young generation— you’re simply awesome!"

Su Jindi, as always, teased Su Liuli upon seeing her, her face full of envy and jealousy.

"Pfft, I told you that I met an extraordinary expert in Southern Tibet, but you didn’t believe me," Su Liuli retorted jokingly to Su Jindi’s teasing, regaining her composure from her dazed state. She no longer felt nervous and worried, but instead confronted the situation openly, smiling. Then, she looked at Su Yuxin and the quickly approaching Situ Ruoshui, "Sister, Ruoshui!"

"Sister Liuli, I’ve missed you so much!"

Situ Ruoshui quickly walked over and linked arms with Su Liuli, her feelings genuine.

Since Situ Chen’s death, she had treated Su Liuli as her own sister. They shared a deep bond and were inseparable at school, hence they were known as ’Dong University’s Double Beauties.’

"I’ve missed you too."

Su Liuli sighed softly. When she was with Bodhi Wuyin, not only did she find it hard to let go of her feelings for Ye Fan, but she also couldn’t let go of the people around her.

"If you miss home, come back and visit."

Su Yuxin walked over, not mentioning past events at all, as if she had guessed Su Liuli’s decision, and sighed softly.

"Sister..."

Upon hearing this, Su Liuli trembled, her eyes moistening slightly, wanting to say something, but her mind went blank.

"Let’s go, we’ll talk slowly once we get back."

Ye Fan, seeing this and afraid they would break down crying right there, couldn’t help but step forward to smooth things over.

"Yeah, let’s talk more back at the house."

Chu Ji also smiled and smoothed things over, then deliberately shifted the topic, saying, "Brat, I wanted to bring them to see your competition with Leng Feng and Emperor Bai, but to my disappointment, your match with Leng Feng was moved up to today."

Ye Fan was about to say something, but then he saw Emperor Bai and Jiang Ying appearing ahead, walking towards them.

Hmm?

At that moment, Emperor Bai and Jiang Ying also noticed Ye Fan and the group. Emperor Bai, as arrogant as ever, swept them a glance before shifting his gaze away, utterly disregarding their existence.

On the other hand, Jiang Ying glared viciously at Su Liuli before excitement surged through her like an adrenaline shot. Together with Emperor Bai, they walked over to Ye Fan’s group with unbridled arrogance!
