Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Everyone Wants to Be the Martial Arts Alliance Leader

In a Jin Yuedao family villa, a man with a straight posture stood tall, his head held high. He closed his eyes and wholeheartedly felt the nature of the world around him, listening to the howling wind, tuning into every movement of all things.

In an instant, the man’s hand moved like lightning, pinching a leaf that flew past him, and then he opened his eyes and couldn’t help but laugh.

At his side, Jin Yi raised his arm and shouted with joy, "This is great, Master, it looks like you’ve recovered quite well."

In response, Jian Shen nodded, "Yes, I should be mostly recovered, and it won’t be necessary for you to protect me anymore." After speaking, Jian Shen glanced at Lin Xi, who was smiling contentedly.

Lu Bei was also delighted, "That’s wonderful, the election for the new Martial Arts leader is coming up soon, and we’ll be just in time."

"No, I’m not interested in becoming the Martial Arts leader. What I’m worried about is another group of vampires from the West." Jian Shen’s gaze was resolute. In fact, he was haunted daily by the arrogant visage of Xue Lang, who claimed there was another group of vampires coming, one that would be even stronger than Xue Lang’s group.

Lu Bei persuaded, "Big brother, how can you deal with those vampires alone? In my opinion, you should become the Martial Arts leader, then rally the whole Martial Arts community. Only by gathering the power of everyone can we potentially defeat those vampires."

"Right? That’s a good suggestion, but..." Jian Shen looked at Lin Xi beside him, showing a hint of difficulty. He had been thinking about leading a peaceful life away from the world with Lin Xi. If he were to become the Martial Arts leader, there would be many responsibilities. And the role of Martial Arts leader isn’t one you can simply walk away from; accepting the position means taking responsibility through to the end.

Seeing Jian Shen show hesitation, Lin Xi guessed what he was thinking. She smiled slightly, "Alright, let’s focus on dealing with what’s in front of us now, and don’t forget your promise to your master. Also, don’t let down the expectations your teacher had for you. Defeat those vampires completely, and then we can have peaceful days ahead. Otherwise, living in hiding won’t bring us peace of mind."

After hearing this, Lu Bei was overjoyed, "You see, even the great beauty says so, you should just accept the role of Martial Arts leader."

"Alright then!" Jian Shen agreed with a nod and then looked at Lin Xi, feeling very grateful for her support and understanding, thinking that meeting such a wonderful woman in his life was truly worthwhile.

Suddenly, Jian Shen felt terrible and vomited blood. His injuries hadn’t healed as quickly as he had imagined.

"Alright, you should rest now." Lin Xi cast a Healing Spell to help Jian Shen speed up the recovery from his injuries. However, she was puzzled as to why Jian Shen’s injuries had worsened, which shouldn’t be the case.

"Could it be..." Lin Xi thought of a possibility and grabbed Jian Shen, accusing him with an annoyed look, "Have you been concealing from me that you’ve been secretly practicing higher-level techniques?"

When Jian Shen met Lin Xi’s eyes, he immediately looked away, guilt-ridden and unable to hold her gaze.

Seeing signs of a potential argument between the couple, Jin Yi and Lu Bei tactfully made themselves scarce.

In the end, under the force of Lin Xi’s stare, Jian Shen could only nod in admission, "I’m sorry, Qian Ye, I know that practicing higher-level techniques forcefully is a bit risky, but I’m really uneasy right now. I feel like the enemy could appear at any moment, and my current level of martial arts isn’t enough to protect you, not enough to defend the entire Martial Arts world, so I wanted to become stronger quickly."

After hearing this, Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment and then smiled in understanding, "I get it, I get it. Go ahead and concentrate on your practice. No matter how severe your injuries, I’ll heal you. Remember, I’ll always be by your side."

"Thank you, Qian Ye," Jian Shen said emotionally, grasping Lin Xi’s hand.

Lin Xi’s pretty face flushed red, her heartbeat accelerated, and then she watched Jian Shen move closer to her, leaning in for a kiss, really about to kiss her.

At this moment, it felt too good, Lin Xi told herself she shouldn’t feel this way, but her body wouldn’t obey, and she even closed her eyes in surrender.

Just at that moment, Lu Bei and Jin Yi, who had been hiding behind the door and secretly watching, suddenly stumbled out, startling both Jian Shen and Lin Xi and forcing them into an awkward situation, prompting them to quickly separate.

"Sorry, sorry, we didn’t mean to interrupt, please continue," Lu Bei and Jin Yi were flustered, then glanced at the door that lay on the ground, wondering how such a door could be so flimsy.

The interruption left Jian Shen and Lin Xi in great embarrassment, and neither could bear to face the other, leaving them no choice but to find excuses to walk away.

Lin Xi returned to her room, hurriedly closed the door tight, and tried hard to calm her pounding heart. Facing the man she had loved deeply in her past life, Lin Xi really couldn’t control herself; she just wanted to make up for past regrets, not to get herself so deeply involved.

"What should I do, what should I do?" Lin Xi’s heart was in turmoil, unsure of how to handle the future; she feared that falling too deep could lead to disaster eventually.

The sky darkened imperceptibly, and Lin Xi lit a candle, ready to go to bed, when suddenly she saw two shadows under the candlelight; one delicate, her own, and the other a man’s.

How could a man’s shadow suddenly appear? How had someone entered her room without her noticing? Lin Xi realized the intruder’s impressive skills. Moreover, Lin Xi knew for sure this man was not Jian Shen.

"Could it be, could it really be?" Lin Xi thought it was an enemy, already concentrating her supernatural power for a desperate fight.

The man behind her spoke up, "Don’t use your magic recklessly, lest you attract Jian Shen’s attention."

"It’s you!" Lin Xi recognized the deep voice, altered as if through a voice changer.

Lin Xi turned around and indeed, it was the mysterious masked man, prompting her to complain, "That’s so rude of you, how can you just enter a young lady’s room like that."

"Sorry, I saw you were deep in thought and didn’t dare to interrupt," the mysterious masked man seemed quite polite to Lin Xi, with no intention of harm.

Lin Xi frowned, "Speak, what is the purpose of your visit to me?"

"I know what Jian Shen is up to, it’s fine, let him make his breakthrough. After all, he is not my opponent," the mysterious masked man spoke with confidence, a confidence that Lin Xi found irritating. "Don’t celebrate too early, maybe once Jian Shen improves his martial arts, he’ll be able to beat you till you’re searching for your teeth."

"If Jian Shen is capable of defeating me, he wouldn’t have met with such a grim end," the mysterious masked man’s words seemed casual, yet they struck Lin Xi like a bolt from the blue. Indeed, with the masked man’s reminder, Lin Xi remembered, Jian Shen didn’t have much time left.

The mysterious masked man added, "Enough about that, let’s get back to the point. I came to you today to tell you to leave Jian Shen."
