Shen Qing stared in the direction of True Lord Heng Ling for a long while. Seeing that True Lord Heng Ling showed no sign of appearing, a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.
"Humph... Coward..."
The four people knocked to the ground by Shen Qing looked up at her. They were not only overwhelmed by her powerful aura but also clearly saw the icy coldness in her eyes.
True Lord Heng Ling was hidden in the shade of the trees. In the darkness, his eyes were filled with anger, entanglement, and embarrassment. Surprisingly, there was also a hint of obsession in his emotions.
Since Shen Qing ignored him, he came up with the idea of sending Pei Xuanjing and the others to apologize first.
As long as Shen Qing would give in, he would show up.
Who would have known that without a word, Shen Qing directly knocked the four of them to the ground.
She didn't give him any face at all.
But this Shen Qing was gradually overlapping with the figure in his mind. His master had also been so unrestrained and so clear about right and wrong.
"Li Xian, let's go."
Shen Qing didn't want to waste any more time on these people. She still had a lot of things to do.
Li Xian nodded, but after thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "I forgot to get something. You go first. I'll catch up later."
Shen Qing looked at Li Xian thoughtfully, then at the four people still lying on the ground and refusing to get up.
She raised her eyebrows and signaled to Li Xian: Don't go too far. True Lord Heng Ling is still around.
Li Xian nodded obediently and blinked: Don't worry.
Seeing Shen Qing turn around and leave, Shen Chuyun called out unwillingly, "Sister..."
Shen Qing heard it and shivered in disgust. She quickened her steps.
In a bad mood, Li Xian turned around, showing a creepy expression. He released the aura of a late Nascent Soul cultivator towards the four people...
The four of them were pressed to the ground by this powerful aura. He Yu's chin directly hit the ground, leaving a wound.
Shen Chuyun had the weakest cultivation. He covered his chest and spat out blood.
Nan Zhijin's cultivation and body were built up by pills. Facing a powerful cultivator, such a body had no resistance at all. His face immediately turned pale and blue. Because he wanted to resist, his meridians were damaged under the spiritual power and the aura, and the damage was slowly becoming irreversible.
Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes wide in surprise. Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Aren't you... at the mid Golden Core stage? Why..."
He had always thought that Li Xian's title of the strongest among his peers was just a rumor.
In the City of Sea Coral, he could clearly sense that Li Xian's cultivation was not high. Although he didn't want to admit it, in his mind, Shen Qing was gradually becoming the strongest among their peers.
But now, after Shen Qing left, Li Xian directly revealed his true strength.
Why on earth did he hide his strength in front of others?!
The other three couldn't say a word. Shen Chuyun's vision was blurred. Looking at Shen Qing's gradually disappearing back, tears welled up in his eyes.
Why did he watch Shen Qing leave helplessly once again.
Li Xian walked closer. The black boots with dark patterns were right in front of Pei Xuanjing's eyes. Pei Xuanjing could clearly see the noble and low - key coiling dragon patterns on Li Xian's boots.
This feeling of humiliation was thousands of times more embarrassing than Shen Qing's ignoring him.
Li Xian saw the embarrassment and shame in Pei Xuanjing's eyes. The coldness on his face had reached the extreme.
He sat cross - legged in front of Pei Xuanjing. His long black hair fell as he lowered his head. Pei Xuanjing smelled a familiar scent in Li Xian's hair.
Although Shen Qing didn't have any definite preferences, she always liked to comb her hair with water that had the fragrance of pear blossoms. Now, he smelled this scent on Li Xian's hair too.
And Li Xian's dressing style of having half of his hair loose and half tied up in a high ponytail with a jade crown was also Shen Qing's favorite.
Once, he had also dressed like this.
At that time, Shen Qing had looked at him with bright eyes and praised him with the most beautiful words in the world.
But Lin Yibai said she didn't like it and said his dressing style was not manly. So after that, he tied up all his hair.
A feeling of remorse spread in Pei Xuanjing's heart, bitter and unbearable.
"Are you... showing off?"
Li Xian tilted his head that was propped up. His eyes were full of malice.
"Showing off? What did I do?"
"I still remember that when I first met Shen Qing, you were sitting there calmly in front of her, letting her clean the dirt on your skirt.
"Obviously you could use magic. Why did you bully a little girl who had just entered the sect?"
Pei Xuanjing couldn't remember this incident that Li Xian was talking about.
It wasn't that he wanted to deny it, but when Li Xian mentioned it, a lot of similar scenes flashed through his mind.
He couldn't remember when exactly this incident had happened.
"I don't remember..."
Pei Xuanjing was pressed to the ground. His chest was squeezed, and he could only breathe with difficulty.
"Oh, don't remember..."
"It doesn't matter. I'll remember for Shen Qing."
Li Xian shrugged indifferently. The aura he was exerting on the four people didn't slacken at all. Instead, it continued to strengthen.
He Yu stared at Li Xian fiercely. Holding his breath, he shouted at Li Xian, "Since you're... so heroic, why... didn't you help Shen Qing back then? Weren't you just a bystander who didn't care?"
After saying that, He Yu exhaled. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He desperately hoped that his voice could reach Shen Qing's ears and make her turn back and see how badly Li Xian was bullying them.
"Why should I help her?"
Li Xian's words stunned the four of them.
"Then what are you doing now?!"
Li Xian sighed and patiently explained, "I'm not a saint. Shen Qing and I were not related back then. Wouldn't it be strange if I rushed to help?"
The four of them fell silent.
Li Xian was right, but they just didn't want to admit it for some reason.
Back then, Shen Qing had the same kind of cowardice as Li Xian. The obsequious expression on her face and her annoying people - pleasing personality would always make Li Xian think of his dog - like life in front of that woman.
He hated this kind of cowardice.
So the changed Shen Qing later was so attractive to him that he desperately wanted to know what had happened to Shen Qing over the years.
This kind of attraction of struggling in adversity and gradually becoming stronger was fatal to Li Xian.
"Do you have any other questions?"
The four of them tightened their hearts. They had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Li Xian stood up and straightened his dusty skirt.
"Hey, being hen - pecked really doesn't work. If my clothes are a bit messy, Shen Qing will scold me later. I have to straighten them up."
Although he was complaining, the four of them could hear the pride in Li Xian's tone.
"Okay, let's hurry up."
Li Xian summoned his natal sword and held it in his hand. His thin lips curved into a shallow smile, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Under the absolute crushing, the four of them were severely taught a lesson.
