Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Brother Fang Says You’re Not a Good Person!

In the past, when disciples from Bitao Martial Academy crossed Soul Severing Valley, they not only had to face the natural forces of the valley but also endured incessant attacks from Spirit Beasts. It was considered very fortunate if any disciple escaped injury after stumbling their way through.

This time, however, their crossing through Soul Severing Valley was unexpectedly smooth, and, incredibly, they encountered no attacks from any Spirit Beasts.

This should have been a cause for celebration, but aside from Yang Lin, the mood among the other eight members of the Bitao Martial Academy team was far from good.

Fang Bai’s importance to Bitao Martial Academy was undeniable, and now that he was missing and his fate unknown, a shadow had been cast over the trip to Purple Flame City by Ge Feng and others. Even if the academy’s team could achieve better results at this sect conference than ever before, it could not compensate for the loss of Fang Bai.

The team moved forward in silence amidst the fierce storm and blizzard, even their Swiftwind Horses appeared to sense their masters’ foul moods and became much more docile.

Yang Lin sneakily glanced at Liu Qingqing, swallowed hard a few times, and a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

Yang Lin had previously been infatuated with Gao Shuxian, believing her to be the most beautiful woman in the world. But ever since Liu Qingqing joined Bitao Martial Academy, she quickly outshone Gao Shuxian. Many of the male disciples who previously admired Gao Shuxian shifted their attention to Liu Qingqing, and even Yang Lin’s interest in Gao Shuxian dwindled significantly.

Yang Lin had always harbored a longing for Liu Qingqing, the new top beauty of the academy, who possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, fair skin, a beautiful face, and a fine figure.

However, when Yang Lin previously tried to get close to Liu Qingqing, he discovered that in her eyes, there was only Fang Bai. She maintained a respectful but distant attitude toward other academy brothers and sisters, which made Yang Lin both jealous and resentful of Fang Bai.

Now that Fang Bai had been attacked and likely perished in Soul Severing Valley, Yang Lin felt a secret joy. He had already begun to plan how to get closer to Liu Qingqing and how to replace Fang Bai in her heart.

Yang Lin thought to himself that although he did not have an Innate Spiritual Root, he still stood out among the younger generation of male disciples in Bitao Martial Academy. Moreover, being a disciple of the Inner Court with Liu Qingqing, who had the advantage of proximity, he held great hope of capturing Liu Qingqing’s heart.

At dusk, Ge Feng and the other nine members crossed the three hundred li of Soul Severing Valley amid the wild storm and appeared outside the valley mouth.

Here the fierce winds had much abated, the snow became sparse, and the temperature quickly rose. Although the weather could still be considered severe by ordinary standards, ordinary Martial Artists could withstand it.

Without the blizzard or fears of Spirit Beast attacks, Shen Yulin and the others finally could relax their tense nerves. No longer needing to stay highly vigilant, they breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed signs of relaxation.

Liu Qingqing’s expression was wooden, her pretty face inscrutable with neither joy nor sorrow visible, only her clear, bright eyes alternately reflecting sadness, distress, anger, and hatred.

Seeing Liu Qingqing like this, Ge Feng knew hatred filled her heart. Unless the identities of the four attackers in Soul Severing Valley could be discovered and they were slain, the bright smile of a young girl might never again grace her face.

"Sigh..."

Ge Feng turned back toward the direction of Soul Severing Valley, unable to help shaking his head and sighing again.

The mid-grade Creation Pill that Fang Bai had given to Ge Feng had directly spurred another enhancement of Ge Feng’s strength, along with decades of extra lifespan. Therefore, Ge Feng was immensely grateful to Fang Bai. Now, Fang Bai’s demise filled him with regret and grief.

Until now, Ge Feng still couldn’t believe that Fang Bai, who had limitless potential on the Martial Dao path, had fallen like a shooting star.

"Junior Sister Liu, about Brother Fang’s... Senior Brother Fang’s death, I’m also very sad. It’s just... death cannot bring back the dead, you shouldn’t be too sad..."

Yang Lin deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting for Liu Qingqing to catch up on her Swiftwind Horse, and then rode beside her, consoling her with a sorrowful face.

Liu Qingqing looked straight ahead, not even glancing at Yang Lin, as if she was treating him like air.

Yang Lin thought of himself as a charming man, otherwise Gao Shuxian wouldn’t have taken a fancy to him, flirting ambiguously with him. Unexpectedly, he had been outright ignored by Liu Qingqing, which made him feel extremely embarrassed and furious.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Yang Lin coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, smiled again, and said, "Junior Sister Liu, excessive grief not only affects your health but also your cultivation, so you should restrain your sorrow... Don’t worry, although Senior Brother Fang is no longer with us, there are still me... and many other disciples of the Martial Academy who care about you. From now on in the Martial Academy, no matter what difficulties you face, I will do my best to help you. As a fellow disciple of the Inner Court, let’s not be strangers..."

Liu Qingqing turned her head, giving Yang Lin a glance without any expression.

"Junior Sister Liu..."

Seeing Liu Qingqing look at him, Yang Lin felt joy in his heart, thinking this was a good sign. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Qingqing interrupted him.

"Brother Fang said you are not a good person, so I don’t want to deal with you, nor do I want you to talk to me. I’m really not in the mood right now, and if you keep bothering me, I won’t be nice! I’m serious!"

After Liu Qingqing coldly finished her statement, she gave Yang Lin a glance filled with killing intent, and spurred her Swiftwind Horse, chasing after Ge Feng while leaving Yang Lin in stunned silence.

"Hmph, that ungrateful wench, just because she has an Innate Spiritual Root? What’s there to be proud of? Fang Bai, that little bastard, also had an Innate Spiritual Root, and he fell here too?"

Watching Liu Qingqing’s receding figure, Yang Lin’s eyes revealed a shade of resentment. He spat on the ground and followed the group with an ugly expression.

"Junior Brother Yang, all the people of the Bitao Martial Academy know that Junior Sister Liu liked Junior Brother Fang. Now that Junior Brother Fang’s fate is uncertain, you are trying to take advantage of the situation... heh, Junior Brother Yang, that’s a bit unkind!"

Long Xing moved closer to Yang Lin, speaking in a low voice with a hint of mockery in his smile.

Among the thousands of disciples at the Bitao Martial Academy, there were quite a few single male disciples, and Long Xing was one of them. He also had a liking for Liu Qingqing and seeing Yang Lin being snubbed by her made him very happy, unable to resist teasing Yang Lin.

"I... I was just trying to console Junior Sister Liu because she was sad. Heh heh, Senior Brother Long is joking..."

If it had been any other disciple teasing him like this, Yang Lin would have found a time to teach him a lesson, but Long Xing was the top warrior in the Core Disciples’ strength ranking of the Bitao Martial Academy, far surpassing Yang Lin in ability. Thus, Yang Lin could only hold resentment in his heart while maintaining a smile on his face.
