Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Let’s Get to Know Each Other

Inside the inn, the waiter listened to the fighting outside and was very scared, "Shopkeeper Du, what do we do? If they break in here, will we have a way to survive?"

To this, Shopkeeper Du was also worried, but still reassured him, "These martial world folks fight and kill over their own grudges, it’s unrelated to us. They shouldn’t trouble us, and we should be safe if we hide inside."

"Really?" The waiter cracked the window open slightly and saw bodies strewn everywhere, blood flowing like rivers, which made him afraid. He then prayed silently to heaven, hoping these martial world folks wouldn’t bring their fight here.

Shopkeeper Du quickly shouted, "What are you doing? Close the window quickly, don’t let the people outside see you."

"Right, right!" The waiter swiftly closed the window tightly, thinking to himself that since it was only open for a moment, it probably wouldn’t be an issue.

Just then, Lin Xi was sent flying and crashed through the window, coming in with a loud noise, frightening both the waiter and Shopkeeper Du.

"Oh my god, that hurts, my butt." Lin Xi got up while rubbing her waist and looked around, noticing the unfamiliar surroundings and two panicked faces.

Shopkeeper Du was a bit nervous, "Miss, you... are you alright... "

"I’m fine, I’m very good..." Lin Xi kept looking at Shopkeeper Du with disbelief and amazement, which scared Shopkeeper Du because he thought he was being targeted by these violent martial arts folks.

"Oh, that’s right, I remember now, you once told me that you used to run an inn in the Central Plains," Lin Xi nodded with interest, confusing Shopkeeper Du considerably. What did she mean by ’you once told me’? Shopkeeper Du didn’t remember ever having met this woman before.

Lin Xi then walked over to Shopkeeper Du and scrutinized him carefully, as if confirming something, and then couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction, "It seems this is destiny, such is destiny."

Shopkeeper Du had no idea what this woman was talking about and instinctively kept his distance from her.

The sounds of combat outside reminded Lin Xi that there were important matters to attend to. Therefore, she took her leave, but not before saying, "Shopkeeper Du, right? Thank you for your hospitality. If one day you can’t stay in the Central Plains anymore, then come find me in the foreign lands, remember I am Queen Qian Ye of the foreign lands."

Watching Lin Xi leave, the waiter was puzzled and didn’t understand what she meant, so he asked, "What’s going on, Shopkeeper Du? Do you know this woman?"

Shopkeeper Du also looked bewildered, "Such a beautiful woman, if I had met her before, I would definitely remember, but I have no recollection at all."

Back on the battlefield, Lord Xiong continued to display his mighty valor. Up to now, he hadn’t sustained a single injury, he hadn’t shown signs of fatigue, only an unrestrained advance, defeating Jian Shen, the leader of Xuanjian Sect, Jin Yi, and Lu Bei, driving them all from the field.

"How about it, at this point, you still won’t concede defeat?" Lord Xiong was on a roll and continued to persuade.

Jian Shen propped himself up with his sword, his eyes still full of fighting spirit, without a hint of faltering, "To hell with it, I’ve never surrendered to an enemy since I became known as Jian Shen. Today’s battle will end only in your death or mine; save your breath."

"Very well, I admire your spirit," just as Lord Xiong was about to make his move, he saw Lin Xi rush back and immediately began to heal Jian Shen, regardless of the drain on her supernatural power.

Lord Xiong, unflustered, said, "Young lady, your knowledge of magic indeed surprises me, but what I’m more certain of is that your supernatural power will eventually be depleted. When that time comes, Jian Shen will no longer be able to recover from his injuries to oppose me. In other words, no matter how hard you try, the outcome will be the same."

Hearing this, Lin Xi furrowed her brows, and then said, "Jian Shen, my supernatural power is running low. I can only help one more of you recover your strength."

The situation was dire. Jian Shen knew that at this juncture, there was no turning back from defeat, and he made a decision, "Qian Ye, help the leader of Xuanjian Sect recover from his injuries. I will make a final stand with him, while you take Jin Yi and Lu Bei and get out of here immediately."

"What? Master, I won’t leave," Jin Yi insisted, determined to fight alongside Jian Shen to the end.

But Jian Shen shook his head, "Listen well, Jin Yi, you are my successor, the hope of Xuanjian Sect. It’s acceptable for me to die in battle today, but you must survive."

The leader of Xuanjian Sect also agreed, "That’s right, someone must carry on the legacy of Xuanjian Sect. Jin Yi, stop being so stubborn and don’t let down the great expectations your master has for you."

"This..." Jin Yi wanted to say more, but Lu Bei patted his shoulder, "Listen to your master. Sometimes living means shouldering a heavier burden. You bear the legacy of both Xuanjian Sect and the Jin Yuedao family. You cannot afford to fail."

Afterward, Lu Bei helped Jin Yi to his feet, a trace of sorrow in his eyes, "I’m sorry, Jian Shen, sorry, Sect Leader. Looks like I’m going to be a deserter."

"Go, live well, take good care of Jin Yi. With you there, we can be at ease." Jian Shen and the leader of Xuanjian Sect advanced towards the formidable enemy, standing shoulder to shoulder.

"Goodbye, my friends!" Lu Bei sighed, holding back the tears in his eyes, then turned around, clenched his teeth, and hurried away with Jin Yi.

Lin Xi watched Jian Shen’s resolute figure, filled with boundless sorrow. Indeed, she realized that time was up; there was nothing more she could do for Jian Shen.

"Thank you, Qian Ye, for being willing to do so much for me. Regardless of your relationship with Gu Fan, there is one last thing I want to ask you. Do you still love me?" Jian Shen didn’t turn around, his gaze fixed on Lord Xiong, his formidable foe. Perhaps he was afraid to turn around and see an unwanted answer in Lin Xi’s expression.

Lin Xi smiled softly, "Fool, you still don’t understand how I feel? Qian Ye has always loved you, never changing. Qian Ye has never loved another. So, I beg you, no matter what, find a way to hold on, because Qian Ye is waiting for you in the foreign lands."

"Alright, your words are enough for me." Jian Shen smiled contentedly, gripping his treasured sword tightly, a surge of unparalleled fighting will filled his entire being.

Lord Xiong frowned, wondering if this woman knew Gu Fan.

Seeing Jian Shen ready to make his last stand, Lin Xi could not bear to watch. Stubbornly wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, she then turned around to flee the scene.

"I’m sorry, I’m not Qian Ye; I am Lin Xi. This is as far as I can help you." Lin Xi couldn’t hold back any longer, tears cascading down as she listened to the advancement of battle behind her. She wished to rectify the regrets between her and Jian Shen in the previous life, yet she still left with regrets in the end.
