Chapter 138 - 137: Gathering - Responsibility

In the end, the ferocious battle came to an abrupt end. The entire area was devastated by elemental energies, but these experts minded this very little as they suppressed the random, uncontrolled energies, and once more set up their respective camps. This area was the designation of Fairy Blessed Spirit, an Elder of that sect, as the gathering location for the Myriad Yore Continent’s utmost geniuses and elites, so how could they move due to this?

Wei Wuyin quietly sat in his earlier location, with Su Mei and Bai Lin just like before. It seemed they simply returned to their original area, and the chaos had been handled effortlessly and returned to a peaceful state.

He was calmly recovering the spent qi that he used in the earlier confrontation. Internally, he wasn’t dwelling on his failure. In fact, this had similarly been in his consideration when he originally decided to fight against Long Chen. Considering that little girl and Qing Qiumu was taken by Fairy Blessed Spirit for these last three months, he could make an assumption that a relationship had formed.

It was highly possible that one or both were taken as disciples in Fairy Blessed Spirit’s lineage. While she disdained Long Chen, evidenced by her direct and insulting words from earlier, it wasn’t likely he could push it too far. He simply desired to protect Mei Mei. How could he be willing to let Long Chen bring harm to her? Furthermore, this examination was produced due to that little girl and Qing Qiumu, and Long Chen was a large reason for this.

In a way, it was a test for him to prove his worth towards Qing Qiumu, while simultaneously allowing Qing Qiumu to see that better talents existed and that Long Chen was merely a flawed insect.

In his heart, he truly felt unfortunate that he couldn’t kill Long Chen at this moment. Earlier, he had some misgivings because of Qing Qiumu, but those considerations all vanished when he rushed towards Mei Mei with such dense killing intent.

"Blessed are very difficult to kill." He felt this was an undeniable fact, and this was even true for him, an Inheritor of Sin.

Still, his earlier domineering display had at least produced some results. Long Chen was nursing his injuries inflicted by the elemental lightning dragon within his bevy of beauties. They were quietly gathered and huddled together in an area that was still in the visible range of Wei Wuyin. As for Mei Mei, Su Lanyi, and Wu Chen, they were rather conspicuous as a large empty area was made around them.

Not a single expert present wanted to get into conflict with Wei Wuyin. His insane actions and violently arrogant words had caused them all to feel some fear. While they might never admit it, they truly didn’t want to cause a misunderstanding and trigger a conflict.

Therefore, they were left in peace.

Mei Yang, on the other hand, was a lot more bold and brazen, sitting next to Wei Wuyin with a bright smile. She rubbed her chin against his arm as she leaned against him, seemingly unwilling to leave his side.U//ppTodated fr/o/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m

Wei Wuyin’s left eyelid twitched a little. This beautiful woman was unwilling to separate even more now.

"I didn’t think you were so strong!" She coquettishly said. Her words that were like music to one’s ears could melt the bones and heart in the body. In fact, even Wei Wuyin felt an itch to accommodate this woman’s desires in another battle in the sheets.

To her, it seemed that he dominated the scene, spared Wu Jiao and Long Chen’s life despite his overwhelming advantage. In fact, this was the view of everyone present, unbeknownst to them that Fairy Blessed Spirit had intervened.

Like this, the time passed quietly as no one engaged with each other and new arrivals continued to appear. It seemed Fairy Blessed Spirit, despite being present, hadn’t started this so-called examination due to people still arriving. This meant it might take several days or more before it began.

A few days soon passed.

There had been no new arrivals for an entire two hours, likely indicating that everyone was present. A few members of the crowd who were knowledgeable regarding the top-tier elite geniuses of the continent swept their analytical gazes over and found that all these spectacular named individuals that met the qualifications had all arrived. There were even some unknowns that had arrived with their reclusive masters or alone.

This was truly a gathering of the utmost elites on this continent. With such youthful talent, it was likely a few bountiful seeds were here that would grow in the new environment and become exceptionally radiant stars. In the future, these figures might become titans of the cultivation world, returning to become leaders of new countries and forces.

"Na Xinyi!" An anxious voice hastily called out. It was pressing and urgent, seemingly wanting to reach out and pull her away. At the area that Long Chen’s group was gathered, Long Chen revealed an exasperated expression on his face as he followed after Na Xinyi, whose eyes revealed unfathomable determination and steeled resolve.

She walked directly towards Wei Wuyin.

Behind Long Chen was the other members of his group, a line of beauties that seemed to follow his shadow. Just the sight of this birthed immense envy in the hearts of every heterosexual male present.

Why didn’t he just die?

These beauties all had varying expressions, from a faint smile, indifference, worry, and even confusion. Their gorgeous and picturesque existence attracted everyone’s attention. After all, Long Chen and Wei Wuyin were the main characters of the two earlier events, and everyone was terrified of one and hateful of the other.

When those words were said, the expressions of everyone changed. How arrogant!

Wei Wuyin directly ignored Long Chen.

Na Xinyi gritted her teeth. If Wei Wuyin wasn’t so strong!

"I want to kill you!" Her words were drenched in hate.

Wei Wuyin remained indifferent as he replied, "I know."

Bam!

She stomped her feet in frustration, causing Su Mei to lift slightly as her saber nearly left its scabbard. Wei Wuyin gestured for her to halt, and she calmly retreated.

Then, he said, "If you want, I can and will take full responsibility. I will, with everything, take you as my wife and support you through the trials of heaven and earth, ensuring your happiness and dreams!" He boldly declared. He understood her feelings, as he wasn’t an emotionless drone that acted without thought. The very reason he questioned himself numerous times regarding her matter was due to his own inability to fully reconcile with his act.

While he had no guilt over the incident, he had always felt as if his actions were inappropriate. He had principles, morals, and beliefs. They formed the core of his personality, and he disliked the act of taking a woman under the threat of death or worse. He preferred, no, only wanted to do it if it was their choice.

That day, he used the circumstances to force her to agree. While it didn’t directly go against his principles as he offered her a deal, an exchange of sorts for her freedom, it still felt abnormal due to him taking her precious first time.

Na Xinyi, Long Chen, and everyone else was immediately startled.

Na Xinyi’s mind flashed back to that day. No one wanted to die or suffer such a fate, and she was incredibly young and filled with a lifetime! How could she be willing to die?! So when he had given her a choice, she grasped it entirely. Perhaps it was Wei Wuyin that she directed all her hate to, as he was the image that took her precious thing and his sect destroyed her sect.

Her anger was fueled and sent to this living existence, and she held a grudge to push her to no longer be weak and suffer tever again. In truth, if it wasn’t Wei Wuyin who hunted her sect members, then it would be someone else.

She knew this.

But her hatred was so exceptionally strong.

Then, now, Wei Wuyin was willing to take responsibility...

Could that be what she wanted? Instead of being taken and thrown away like trash as her sect members were killed and captured? Could she have wanted someone to take responsibility?

But...wife?

A supreme expert, handsome champion, and talented alchemist!

The wife of Wei Wuyin.

Her eyes went dazed.

Long Chen’s heart quaked with distress and unease. Na Xinyi was a woman that held a place in his heart, and he went through trials and challenges with, and even faintly felt that if he became an expert that looked down on heaven and earth, he could give her a proper life. While they had a close relationship, they never breached that gap between man and woman.

The very thought of the possibility of Na Xinyi accepting Wei Wuyin’s offer caused his heart to clench. He wanted to speak, but inevitably held himself back.

He trusted Na Xinyi.

He had to.
