Chapter 4670 The Woman Who Holds a Grudge

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Old Man Zhao, you're not dead?"

Duan Ling Tian did not expect that Yu Xiao would say these words as soon as he brought Zhao An Yi to meet her. He was surprised and puzzled.

'I didn't know senior aunt is so familiar with Zhao An Yi…'

Zhao An Yi coughed twice before he said, "Yu Xiao, I'm not that old. Although there's no way to achieve immortality in the Divine Land, I still have many years left in me… I really didn't expect to meet you here, Yu Xiao."

Zhao An Yi was clearly wary of Yu Xiao. He knew she was not an easy opponent.

In the past when they were still in the Outer Boundary, Zhao An Yi had become a Saint first before Yu Xiao became one. On one occasion when he went to the Jin Dynasty's Thirteen Cities, he had unintentionally offended her with his words. When it happened, she did not react much. However, after she entered the realm of Saints, she went to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect to challenge him to settle the score. She was stronger than him because her bloodline power was stronger than his. It was not surprising that he was thoroughly defeated by her in the end. At that time, he felt that women were truly difficult to deal with.

After that incident, Zhao An Yi was very cautious with his words whenever he met Yu Xiao, worried that he might unintentionally offend her again. After all, he knew very well how the seemingly harmless girl could hold a grudge.

"Old Man Zhao, did you come with my junior nephew to look for me for something? If that's the case, save your breath. I can't be bothered to help you. Don't forget you once bullied me," Yu Xiao said disdainfully.

Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Zhao An Yi with a strange expression, raising an eyebrow upon hearing those words. He did not know about this matter at all.

Seeing Duan Ling Tian's reaction, Zhao An Yi knew that Duan Ling Tian had misunderstood him. He felt like crying because of how misunderstood he was. He hurriedly explained, "Brother Ling Tian, please don't misunderstand… What Yu Xiao meant by me bullying her is that I unintentionally offended her with my words in the past when I visited the Jin Dynasty's Thirteen Cities. Not only that, but she had already settled the scores with me…"

Zhao An Yi felt helpless and wronged. Was it possible that the matter from the past was not over yet? At that time, Yu Xiao had beaten him to a pulp, and he had to go into hiding for a while, worried that he would be ridiculed by the members of his sect.

Afraid of being misunderstood, he quickly gave Duan Ling Tian a detailed account of how he had unintentionally offended Yu Xiao in the past through Voice Transmission.

Duan Ling Tian was surprised when he learned about what happened.

'Senior aunt actually held a grudge to this extent? I really can't afford to offend her…'

'Wait… I lied to her previously about master… She'll definitely hold a grudge if she finds out that I lied to her… It looks like I can only continue lying…'

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian explained, "Senior Aunt Yu, he didn't come to ask you for help. He's relocating the Azure Cloud Residence to the Distinct Province, and we'll be allies in the future. I brought him here to greet you. If we encounter any difficulties in the future, we can help each other…"

Yu Xiao's expression eased a lot after listening to these words. She also restrained herself a little in front of Duan Ling Tian since she did not want to leave a bad impression on him.

"I see," Yu Xiao said with a nod, "Rest assured, Junior Nephew Duan. I'll take care of the Duan Residence when you're not around. If I encounter anything I can't handle, I'll ask Old Man Zhao for help. If Old Man Zhao doesn't do his best to help us, I won't let him off lightly!"

As she spoke, she looked at Zhao An Yi threateningly, which made Zhao An Yi feel speechless. After all, there was no way he would not do his best to help Duan Ling Tian and the Duan Residence.

"Miss Yu, rest assured. I promise to treat the Duan Residence like I treat my Azure Cloud Residence," Zhao An Yi said seriously.

"I hope you'll keep your promise and that you're not being perfunctory," Yu Xiao said with a scoff.

Zhao An Yi shook his head and said, "Of course, I'm not being perfunctory."

…

After the meeting between Zhao An Yi and Yu Xiao, Duan Ling Tian spent two more days with his family before he went to the Misty Cloud Sect to look for his master.

"You're ready to go?"

Feng Qing Yang knew that Duan Ling Tian was done spending time with his family as soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian.

"Yes, master. We can depart immediately if you have nothing else to attend to," Duan Ling Tian replied with a nod.

"I have nothing to do here so let's leave now," Feng Qing Yang said. He turned to the Ascending Clouds Sage, who was standing at the side, before he continued to say, "You've been very helpful over the past few days. If there's a chance in the future, I'll visit your Misty Cloud Sect again. The environment here is quite nice, and I really like it."

The Ascending Clouds Sage said enthusiastically, "Senior Feng, you're always welcome to visit the Misty Cloud Sect again!"

Over the past few days, the Ascending Clouds Sage had boldly sought guidance from Feng Qing Yang regarding the Sword Dao. He had learned a lot from Feng Qing Yang. He thought that Feng Qing Yang was truly extraordinary, as expected of someone who was Duan Ling Tian's master.

The Ascending Clouds Sage respectfully bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang, watching them leave the Misty Cloud Sect.

…

After leaving the Misty Cloud Sect, Feng Qing Yang asked, "Little Tian, did Yu Xiao know I returned with you?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian looked at Feng Qing Yang strangely and asked in return, "Master, what's going on between you and Senior Aunt Yu? As soon as I returned, she came looking for me, asking about you. I can't help but feel that she likes you…"

Duan Ling Tian's curiosity was burning at this moment.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Feng Qing Yang said helplessly, "You noticed it as well?"

Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, "Master, are you avoiding her because of this? I don't think it's necessary. If you don't like her, just tell her directly. Don't lead her on. Based on what I know about her, she's bold with her feelings and very direct. If you make it clear that you're not interested in her, I think she won't cling on to you."

Although Duan Ling Tian did not interact with Yu Xiao much, he had a vague sense of the kind of person she was.

Feng Qing Yang sighed. "You really think I've never made it clear before? I've already told her, but she didn't believe me. She thinks that I rejected her because of Qing Zhu…"

Duan Ling Tian was surprised. "Really? Is she really so narcissistic?" Then, he added teasingly, "Master, I think you must be interested in her, but you're just too shy to make a move…:

Feng Qing Yang said reproachfully, "Brat, you're getting bolder and bolder."

Then, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll tell you more about the situation in the Endless Sword Domain. If I don't explain everything thoroughly, I'm worried you might be at a disadvantage when we're there."
