Chapter 50.1 – Never Marry A Man With Two Tintins

Seeing a large shadow rapidly falling down on him from a great height, Cheng Nuo knew he didn’t have time to dodge. All he could do was to concentrate his wood elemental ability on his arms which he used to cover his head. It was then that a powerful arm wrapped around his waist and swiftly leaped out of the way. There was the flash of a sword and the sound of something flying past his ears.

The mount’s two front legs had been sliced off and, with a roar of pain, it fell down on the ground. Blood pooled underneath it.

Zi Qing quickly jumped off then rolled on the ground for a while before getting up. Although he wasn’t injured, he was covered in dust and now cut a sorry figure.

Amazed, Cheng Nuo looked behind him. It was Liu Guang who saved him! Pleasantly surprised, he gave Liu Guang a smile at first but frowned when he thought of something. Liu Guang could have easily saved him just then. Why did he bother to provoke these disciples from noble families?

The status of level one disciples was indeed very high but disciples from noble families represented many powerful clans…

The expression on Liu Guang’s face was gloomy and frightening as he looked Cheng Nuo over carefully. “Are you hurt?”

Shaking his head and pretending to be relaxed, Cheng Nuo gestured to Liu Guang to let him go. “I’m fine.”

The truth was that when the mount’s legs were cut off and it fell down with a cry, Cheng Nuo had been quite shocked.

His lower lip quivering, Zi Qing stared at the two of them. Had he ever been this wronged? However, looking at the expression of murderous rage on Liu Guang’s face, he didn’t dare complain.

Liu Guang sheathed his sword but took no notice of Zi Qing as he stared intently at a large tree that was more than ten meters away. Those thin and delicate flying needles had missed Cheng Nuo’s ear by a hair’s breadth. He had wanted to block the needles but refrained when he saw their trajectory. The person responsible for them had clearly aimed accurately, killing the magical beast in one shot. Even so, Liu Guang perceived that the other person’s cultivation was only on the level of the best of the level two disciples which fell far short of a level one disciple’s cultivation.

That unknown person seemed to realize that Liu Guang was looking in his direction so he slowly walked out from behind the tree. He was obviously not a disciple of Qinghua Sect since he was wearing the uniform of a level two disciple of Lingyun Pavilion, a sect that was directly under the supervision of the Lord of Liao Ji City. His looks were ordinary and seemed to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Waving his hand towards Liu Guang from a distance, he said, “I’m Li Jiu, a disciple of Lingyun Pavilion’s Xuan Zhenzi. I’m here to do some business and couldn’t help but interfere when I saw the situation. I meant no offense to Shixiong.”

The other three people hadn’t even realized he was there so they were surprised to see Li Jiu suddenly appear.

Zi Qing now understood what happened. No wonder his mount had fallen down and died. It must have been this Li Jiu’s doing! Seeing that Li Jiu had gray eyes and hair which was the coloring of common people, Zi Qing expected that Li Jiu had no noble background. Zi Qing stomped towards him, aggressively asking him, “Did you kill my mount? You… how dare you!”

Nan Cheng was embarrassed to meet Liu Guang under these circumstances. Afraid that Zi Qing would cause even more trouble, he jumped down from his mount and grabbed Zi Qing’s arm, urgently whispering in his ear, “Shixiong, Liu Guang and Li Jiu were both forced to act to save someone. It’s time for training so let’s hurry back to Shifu.”

Zi Qing gnashed his teeth as he glared at Cheng Nuo and Li Jiu. He was only allowed to ride the magical beasts that were level four and below. This lion-headed mount was the rarest and most powerful one he could use. It wasn’t easy for him to get it. Biting his lower lip in vexation, Zi Qing mounted Nan Cheng’s leopard-headed beast and left with him.

Nan Cheng glanced back at Liu Guang sadly but smiled at Cheng Nuo. Cheng Nuo smiled back at Nan Cheng to show that there were no hard feelings.

Watching the two of them leaving, Cheng Nuo politely addressed Li Jiu, “Thank you for your help, Shixiong.”

Li Jiu nodded expressionlessly at the two of them but didn’t say anything and simply walked away.

Cheng Nuo turned around and saw that Liu Guang still had a gloomy expression on his face. Chane Nuo smiled. “You’re still angry?”

Liu Guang’s eyes had a shuttered look. If he hadn’t been passing by then Cheng Nuo would have been injured again when his shoulder and arm wounds hadn’t even healed yet. With one strike of his hand, Liu Guang incinerated the fallen mount into flying ash. Holding Cheng Nuo’s hand, he walked forward.

He didn’t care to fight with females. That Zi Qing obviously did this intentionally. Like Lu Zhen and the others with him, Liu Guang would look for a good opportunity. Hmph, if this Zi Qing person tries something again…

Liu Guang sneered to himself. He would find an opportunity to dispose of that person.

Cheng Nu, shocked, watched the ashes drift away into the distance. He seldom had the chance to witness Liu Guang in action… How powerful was Liu Guang now?

Afraid that the other disciples would see them together, he quickly broke away from Liu Guang’s grasp. Smiling, he said, “I guess I probably wouldn’t have been able to dodge earlier but don’t you think it’s strange that Li Jui was willing to save even though he might have offended the disciples from the nobility?”

In this world, people who are willing to draw their sword to help others are as rare as hen’s teeth. Moreover, this Li Jui didn’t look like he came from a noble family.

Liu Guang’s eyes narrowed as he tried to remember Li Jui’s appearance. That person looked very ordinary and low-key. He was the sort of person who could just change his clothes a little then Liu Guang probably wouldn’t be able to pick him out of a crowd. He said carelessly, “Never mind, we probably won’t see each other again anyway.”
