Immortal Soaring Blade

Vol.2-Chapter 282 – Because He Is My Man

Seeing the happy smile on Su Su, Xue Wuxing’s love for her intensified and his hatred for Zhao Jiuge increased as well.

Ever since Su Su had come back, she had always been absent-minded. It wasn’t until later that he learned about what happened from Elder Yang and learned about Zhao Jiuge’s existence. He didn’t expect Su Su’s feelings for Zhao Jiuge to become stronger and stronger as time passed. This naturally made him feel very jealous. He had always thought that without any accidents, Su Su would be his!

He originally thought that the difficulties of cultivation would make Su Su slowly forget about Zhao Jiuge, but who knew that she would still remember the five-year agreement. Xue Wuxing found this to be unacceptable. He had followed Su Su here in order to see what that man looked like! Just thinking about that man having Su Su’s favor made Xue Wuxing let out a cold snort.

Seeing Xue Wuxing’s expression, Elder Yang smiled and whispered, “What? Already can’t endure it? This isn’t how you normally are in the sect.”

Facing Elder Yang, even the proud Xue Wuxing had to be respectful. He respectfully said, “Elder Yang, don’t make fun of me. I want to see what kind of god this person is. If he lacks skill, then he can stay behind and die here.”

When Xue Wuxing spoke, he didn’t hide his voice. He intended for Su Su to hear it.

“Is there any use? In order to capture a girl, you must first capture her heart. If you don’t do that, anything else is useless. After all, I have been through it all.” When Elder Yang said this, he laughed and stroked his beard.

Xue Wuxing pondered for a bit and felt that what Elder Yang had said was correct. However, he couldn’t let this go and fiercely said, “I can’t control myself too much. First, I’ll kill him to vent my anger.”

Elder Yang helplessly shook his head. With these juniors, especially relating to emotional matters, it wasn’t good for him to interfere too much. “Ah, I think it's best for you to worry about the mission you were given. It's a matter of great importance, and even the sect head cares a lot about it. If this matter is complete, I believe that when you take the position of sect head, those old fellows won’t oppose it. As for the matter between you and Su Su, let’s take it slow.”

Hearing this, Xue Wuxing nodded and there was a flash of light in his eyes. He thought about the matter that had been entrusted to him.

Xue Wuxing didn’t speak more, but Su Su wasn’t going to let it go. Her gaze turned cold and she looked toward him. “It's impossible for anything to happen between you and me, don’t even think about it. In addition, I warn you not to even think of doing something to Zhao Jiuge. I dare you to try!”

When Su Su spoke Xue Wuxing, who had calmed down a little, erupted in anger once more. The more Su Su regarded Zhao Jiuge and treated him well, the more Xue Wuxing disliked it.

“Hmph, can you protect him for the rest of your life? Yes, you just came back from cultivating in a dangerous place and managed to trigger a phenomenon when you formed your core. You also managed to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, but don’t forget that you are a woman. Your role is to stand behind a man. As a man, is he going to hide behind a woman? You can protect him once or twice, but can you protect him for the rest of his life?” Xue Wuxing was roaring at this point, and he was a bit hysterical. His relationship with Su Su had turned into something like this, and he was also suffering in his heart.

Facing Xue Wuxing’s anger, Su Su was surprisingly calm. After a moment of silence, Su Su said, “Even if you did make a move, do you think you can beat him? Don’t think you stand at the top just because you have a little strength among the younger generation. There are always people stronger than you.”

Facing Su Su’s seemingly sarcastic words, Xue Wuxing gradually calmed down. He frowned and asked, “Why!?”

As the most dazzling person among the younger generation of the sect, he was very good in every aspect aside from dealing with his emotions toward Su Su. His strength and mind were no worse than the disciples of the holy lands. He was confident in himself, but he wasn’t blinded by his strength like Su Su implied.

“Because he is my man.”

Su Su’s faint voice echoed. After she finished speaking, she turned her back toward them. She looked into the distance, waiting for something.

Hearing this, Elder Yang’s expression changed. His eyes were filled with shock and his mouth was slightly open. His entire body froze for an instant, but he was still stroking his beard. At this moment, Elder Yang looked very funny.

Even he didn’t expect the young lady to say such a thing. Even the sect head, who loved the young lady, would be furious upon hearing this! If he was this shocked, then Xu Wuxing had to be dealing with it far worse.

Elder Yang returned to being calm. He felt that this matter was a bit tricky because it involved emotions. He could also see that the young lady was serious—he could tell after watching her grow up.

He had decided not to ask about this matter again. He had only come here because he was afraid that after Zhao Jiuge arrived, the situation would get out of hand. In addition, he wondered if that boy would come today or not. Time could change anything, and five years could easily change a person. Although that child had a good heart five years ago, it was difficult to guess how much he would have changed in this period.

“What the hell happened between you and him?”

Xue Wuxing’s voice was cold and filled with killing intent, but he didn’t yell this time. He misunderstood Su Su’s words. In truth, nothing had happened between Su Su and Zhao Jiuge beside that kiss when Zhao Jiuge tried to feed her medication. At this moment, Xue Wuxing felt like there was a fire burning in his head that he couldn’t vent, and his expression became gloomy.

Su Su, who had her back to him, felt too much disdain to reply to his question. Su Su’s silk-like hair gently swayed in the breeze, but Xue Wuxing didn't have the heart to enjoy this beautiful scene.

Seeing Su Su ignore him, Xue Wuxing’s chest heaved up and down. He controlled his anger and said, “Fine, I’ll wait for that boy named Zhao Jiuge to come and fight him. I’ll let you see how your man will end up.”

“Fine.” This time, when Su Su responded to him, her answer was clean and simple.

Zhao Xiaotian’s expression became ugly. When he heard that Xue Wuxing was going to kill Zhao Jiuge, his aura became gloomy. He didn’t like this person called Xue Wuxing, who kept bothering his big sister over the last five years. However, he knew how to endure, because he knew he lacked strength. However, he wouldn’t let anyone hurt his big brother and big sister.

Su Su seemed to notice this and gently raised her hand to appease Zhao Xiaotian. She gently stroked his head, which caused Zhao Xiaotian to relax.

The scene became calm once more. This time, all four of them waited for Zhao Jiuge’s arrival, waiting for him to come fulfill the five-year agreement.

Time slowly passed from morning to noon and then noon to afternoon, but they didn’t see a shadow in the distance. Su Su stubbornly maintained her posture, but the anticipation gradually dimmed. One could occasionally see a moment of loss and panic.

Zhao Xiaotian was impatient, as he was also looking forward to seeing that figure appear. However, most importantly, he had to stay with his big sister! Xue Wuxing stood there like he was waiting to fight Zhao Jiuge. Elder Yang felt helpless. It was a good day, and he could be enjoying himself, but instead he had to be here to suffer with some juniors. He secretly sighed and wondered where that brat Zhao Jiuge was. He had waited for almost a whole day. He didn’t dare to leave, because he feared that once he left, that brat Zhao Jiuge would come and get into a fight with Xue Wuxing.

Zhao Xiaotian was filled with worry and asked, “Big Sister, is Big Brother not coming?”

“No, he will definitely come,” Su Su said calmly, but she didn’t even know that her own voice was trembling. Her nails had pierced through her palm.

The sun finally began to set and the orange light fell on the Green Jade Mountain.

Xue Wuxing revealed a strange smile and then turned toward Su Su. “See, your so-called man didn’t come. I don’t think he will ever appear.”

“You’re full of shit!” Su Su roared, interrupting Xue Wuxiang’s words.

“Hmph, I’m full of shit? I wish that brat would really come so I can teach him a lesson. Blades don’t have eyes; I fear he won’t be able to keep his life.” Xu Wuxing’s eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.

Su Su didn’t move and said, “Rest assured, that battle will come. I’m about to head out to train, and when I come back, it will be when you duel with him. Now you can scram.”

Xue Wuxing chuckled in disdain and left. Elder Yang quickly followed to prevent this brat from causing trouble. He felt regret and relief that Zhao Jiuge hadn’t come today. Unfortunately, he knew that the little miss would be sad, but on the bright side, Zhao Jiuge wouldn’t get into a fight with Xue Wuxing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to do.

However, seeing that the sun was setting, Elder Yang couldn’t help but let out a snort and scold, “That stinking brat made me wait all day. The next time I see him, I’m going to give him a good spanking!”

Xu Wuxing was not happy and muttered to himself, “I’m afraid that day won’t come. Like I said, that fellow probably already forgot about this matter.”

Elder Yang ignored him and instead looked back at Su Su. He knew that she was suffering, and seeing the sunset drag out her shadow made him sigh in his heart.

Looking at the two people departing, Zhao Xiaotian was about to talk but stopped. He looked at the two people leaving and then back at Su Su’s calm face. Her beautiful face was as calm as the calm sea. However, Zhao Xiaotian knew that this was only on the surface. Under it, the sea was already violently churning.

Su Su felt Zhao Xiantian open his mouth and slowly said, “You go back, I’ll wait a bit longer.

“I’ll be fine, you go back first. Be good.” Seeing that Zhao Xiaotian was going to speak again, Su Su interrupted him before he could do so.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaotian nodded. He knew his big sister’s temper. However, while he was worried about his big sister, he felt it strange that his big brother still hadn’t come. Had he already forgotten about this matter, or had he found someone else?

Either way, the situation was not good in Zhao Xiaotian’s mind. He left while constantly looking back, and soon, Su Su was the only person left.

The sky had completely darkened. The last strand of light disappeared and was replaced by night.

When night fell, the woman who was waiting alone on the mountain felt her heart sink into coldness along with the night wind.
