Ying Yu smiled as she watched Amelia return to her cultivation. This valley was restricted because the sect’s mistress did not wish for the rest of the disciples to come into contact with Amelia. Yet, now and then, a few disciples would come over to see who this outcast was. They wanted to know why this lady was allowed to cultivate in the War Maiden Sect.
Their bad luck was that Ying Yu always accompanied Amelia, and if not that, she was always cultivating. They were surprised and even shocked by this behavior of her. They could not understand why Amelia would act like this. What was the point of such maniacal cultivation, like there was no tomorrow?
Ying Yu was about to return when she spotted a disciple who came over, ran to her, and said, “Senior Sister, Xie Xiang is here again.”
Ying Yu was surprised and replied coldly, “Does he not understand the human tongue?”
A cold voice sounded behind the disciple, “Ying Yu, let Amelia deal with this situation alone. We are not her family.”
Ying Yu was surprised when she saw the sect mistress, Luo Rin, walking over with a young man dressed in brocade robes. Ying Yu wanted to say something when she met the eyes of the sect mistress and was stunned. The sect mistress was an Immortal Emperor, and she waved her hand to cast a seal on the young lady.
Xie Xiang walked the scene and smiled mockingly at Ying Yu. He was confident that today, he will get Amelia under his control. He saw Amelia two months ago and was charmed by her actions. He wished for her to be his dao companion. After all, he was a young man from a big family, and his family had a significant say in the central region.
However, Amelia did not even bother to respond to his plots, let alone accept him. She had given her heart to Shi Lang, and there would never be another person to make her commit her heart to him.
Luo Rin stopped and said, “Young Master Xie, I am giving you the face because of your family. Regardless of her answer, I hope you respect yourself and leave this place when you are done, with or without her. I do not care.”
Xie Xiang was a hypocritic person. However, Luo Rin was an existence that his family did not have the guts to offend publically. He understood what Luo Rin meant by what she said and replied, “Senior, please rest assured, I know what to do.”
Luo Rin nodded and stopped beside Ying Yu, letting Xei Xiang walk ahead in the valley. It did not take long for him to arrive next to Amelia. The young man looked dashing, but his eyes brimmed with cunning. He had even pursued Ying Yu, but the lady had always shut him down completely.
Now that his attention had changed to Amelia, he did not care about Ying Yu. This time, he used his father to pressure the War Maiden Sect into letting him pursue Amelia. The sect’s mistress was adamant that she would not acknowledge Amelia as a disciple.
Xie Xiang stood next to the boulder, gazing at Amelia’s visage. However, he did not awaken her from her cultivation. He kept gazing at her. It was as if she had sensed his gaze, and she opened her eyes. Her gaze was cold and indifferent.
Amelia came down from the boulder and asked, “What do you need?”
Xie Xiang sensed great indifference from her voice, and he frowned. He said, “I have come to ask you if you are willing to be my dao companion.”
Amelia looked at him and asked, “Why? Did I not tell you before that I already have a companion, and he is the only one for me in this life.”
Xie Xiang clenched his fists, but his face did not change. The young man asked calmly, “What can you achieve by staying loyal to him? Who is this guy?”
Amelia gazed into the distance and said, “It is none of your business, and I advise you, this is the last time I am refusing you with words. Next time, I will kill you.” 𝗈𝑽𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t
Xie Xiang was not the only surprised person. Luo Rin was shocked. She did not expect Amelia to act this way. The young man was enraged and chuckled as he asked, “Can you kill me? Do you even know who I am?”
Amelia replied, “You are just a spoiled young master of the Xie Family. If you do not have a name behind you, people will think you are just a rabid dog.”
Her voice was aloof and calm. Xie Xiang was shocked, and then his gaze turned cold. He clenched his fist and raised his hand to attack Amelia. However, the girl suddenly vanished from her place.
Xie Xiang’s arm was frozen in midair, but a chill ran through his spine. A cold feeling against his neck awakened him from his rage. He looked down and found a dagger’s edge was pressing against his neck. Amelia said, “Do you understand what I mean by I will kill you, or should I just do it?”
Xie Xiang was shivering in fear, and he could not believe that the situation was not in his favor. Luo Rin exclaimed, “Amelia, what are you doing? Put away the dagger! Now!”
Amelia did not pay any heed to her. Luo Rin could not make a move against her because she could tell that Amelia would kill Xie Xiang. If this young man died here, it would be a big problem.
Amelia said, “Why should I take away the dagger? Sect Master, I did not come here alone, but your people bought me here. I have done my best to gain your acknowledgment. You did not budge. I never held it against you. On the contrary, I even respected you, but today, being a woman, you failed to uphold my dignity and bought this scum here. I feel ashamed to have lived here.”
The people were left speechless and did not expect Amelia to retort the sect master this ferociously. Amelia took a deep breath and said, “Xie Xiang, I will give you one last chance. Swear on your dao heart that you will not seek me again, nor will you instigate anyone related or unrelated to you into coming after me. If you fail to comply, I will not kill you but destroy your dantian.”
The next moment, Amelia placed her knee against the back of the young man. Xie Xiang was covered in cold sweat and said, “I swear on my dao heart…”
Amelia waited, and only when the lightning crackled did she push Xie Xiang away. She said, “Leave before I change my mind.”
Xie Xiang shivered and ran away. He did not even bother to greet Luo Rin, who was seething with rage and gazed back at Amelia’s eyes as he asked, “How dare you run amock before me?”
Amelia smiled and said, “I am a cultivator; I defy the heavens, let alone you, who wished to sacrifice me for no reason.”
Just when Luo Rin was about to make her move, the clouds rumbled and lightning emerged. Amelia let out a deep breath and said, “Time to face the tribulation, See you later, Sect master.”
