Chapter 767: The News Reaches Leng Shu! Are You Sure You Want to Spar?

"It's Jingming! He's here!"

Leng Yuexi's face lit up with joy as she hurried forward; Leng Yuechan followed right behind.

Crackling—

Golden lightning flickered; amid the slightly surprised gazes of those around him, Xu Jingming retracted his Thunder Dragon Wings and landed on the ground.

At that moment, Leng Yuexi had just walked up.

Upon seeing Xu Jingming again, both Leng Yuexi and Leng Yuechan's eyes brightened.

The virtual world wasn't reality; back then in the virtual world, the two women hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Now, upon meeting again, they immediately sensed a faint sense of pressure emanating from Xu Jingming.

Combined with his tall, imposing stature and handsome features.

An indescribable special aura swept over them, like the rising sun—full of hope, intoxicating to behold.

"What, haven't seen me for just over ten days, and you two don't recognize me anymore?"

Xu Jingming waved a finger in front of the two dazed women.

Leng Yuexi finally snapped back to reality, a faint blush rising on her lovely face as she softly said:

"Let's go—the banquet's already prepared for you."

"Then I'm going to eat my fill tonight."

Xu Jingming smiled and followed the Leng sisters into the Spirit Fox Guild compound.

"I never expected the eldest miss to be waiting for such a young man."

In the shadows, a man frowned as he withdrew his gaze and dialed Leng Shu's number:

"Young Master, the eldest miss has met a young man here in the compound."

"A young man?"

Inside the Spirit Fox Guild compound, in a luxurious villa, Leng Shu frowned upon receiving the call.

He was confident, but not blindly arrogant.

He hadn't interacted with Leng Yuexi often, but from what he knew of her, she was certainly no pushover.

The match in half a month must have no unforeseen variables.

So despite his overwhelming advantage, he still assigned subordinates to monitor Leng Yuexi's movements.

He never expected that after just one day, his subordinates reported that she had gone to the compound's entrance with someone, apparently to welcome an important person.

He had assumed it would be some eighth-rank Grand Master from the Spirit Fox Guild—but his subordinate said it was a young man.

"This guy's pretty good-looking. Could he be the eldest miss's old lover?"

The subordinate chuckled, "If he's just the eldest miss's man, I think you've got nothing to worry about, Young Master."

"Old lover?"

Leng Shu's brow furrowed deeper.

Most psychics, once they gain some power, begin indulging in pleasure.

Even he was no exception—though he wasn't as reckless.

But Leng Yuexi was different; according to the information he'd gathered:

Leng Yuexi had always devoted herself to cultivation and had never been linked to any man in scandal.

As for Leng Yuechan, though more lively in temperament, she was the same.

No one had ever heard either of them had an old lover.

"Something's off. Did you take a photo? Send it to me." Leng Shu mused.

"Yes, I'll send it right away."

Before long, a picture appeared on Leng Shu's phone.

Seeing the figure in the image, his previously relaxed expression froze.

Damn it!

Isn't this Xu Jingming?

"It's Xu Jingming from Thunder Martial Arts!"

Leng Shu shot up from the sofa, his expression startled and uncertain.

Like Leng Yuexi, he was a mixed-race person—his mother was from Bear Nation.

He'd lived in Great Xia for only three or four years, then spent the rest of his life in Bear Nation.

Even so, he'd heard of Xu Jingming—the man who'd surged from sixth-rank to seventh-rank in just a few months, shocking all of Great Xia.

He never expected Leng Yuexi had summoned him here!

"Young Master, what's wrong?" came the subordinate's confused voice over the phone.

"You're asking me? That's Xu Jingming from Great Xia! Don't you recognize him?"

Leng Shu nearly laughed in anger.

If he hadn't been cautious and asked a few more questions, he might have missed this crucial piece of information!

"Huh? He's Xu Jingming?"

The subordinate's surprised voice came over the phone—he clearly knew who Xu Jingming was—and quickly apologized:

"Sorry, Young Master, I didn't pay special attention, so I didn't recognize him."

He was a Heizhou native; though he'd heard Xu Jingming's name, he couldn't match it to the face.

"Forget it. Go back to Leng Yuexi's villa. As soon as Xu Jingming steps out, tell me immediately."

Leng Shu took a deep breath, gave the order, and hung up.

"My dear sister, I never thought you could get Xu Jingming to come..."

Leng Shu's eyes flickered.

If he hadn't known about this beforehand, he might not have been on guard.

But now that he knew, he wouldn't allow Xu Jingming to keep staying by Leng Yuexi's side.

"Try to win him over first. If that doesn't work, then think of another way."

Leng Shu muttered softly.

He would not allow any variables in the position of president of the Spirit Fox Guild.

And the sudden appearance of Xu Jingming was that most unstable factor...

Led by the Leng Yuexi sisters, Xu Jingming soon arrived before a villa.

This villa was extremely luxurious, its structure somewhat similar to a Sihe Academy.

Only it was far more upscale than a Sihe Academy; the central villa was the tallest, a full three stories.

The villas on the left and right were slightly shorter, but still two stories.

Three villas, plus enclosing walls, connected together to form the shape of the character 'kou' (口).

And right in the very center of this courtyard, a spirit tree resembling a willow had been planted.

The willow branches swayed in the wind, releasing a faint, fresh fragrance that lifted the spirits.

After entering the villa, Xu Jingming enjoyed an extremely lavish dinner.

After the meal, Xu Jingming made his intentions clear to Leng Yuexi — he wanted to go to the Wilderness Zone.

"You're going to the Wilderness Zone again so soon?" Leng Yuexi was somewhat surprised.

"Mm, I was just worried you might have other matters here that needed help.

So I came by to take a look first; otherwise I'd have stayed in the Wilderness Zone the whole time."

Xu Jingming nodded and replied.

"I see."

Leng Yuexi felt a twinge of disappointment at his words, but still shook her head and replied:

"There's nothing going on here on my end — I just need you to show up on time for the trial in half a month."

After a pause, Leng Yuexi suddenly thought of something; her eyes shimmered as she said with a light laugh:

"I still remember when we were in Myanmar, you said you could crush me with one hand.

How about we have a little sparring match right now?"

"You're sure you want to spar with me?" Xu Jingming's sword-brows rose.

"What, you really think one hand is enough to crush me?

Don't forget, my ability has already fully evolved to S-rank, and my tier is higher than yours!"

Leng Yuexi puffed out her proud, full chest, speaking confidently.

Although she couldn't beat Xu Jingming, she wouldn't be crushed one-handed by him either.

At the very least... at the very least it would take two hands!

"Since you're that confident, fine — let's head to the training room now."

Xu Jingming grinned.

A free sparring partner delivered right to his door — a waste not to take them up on it.

Perfect for warming up before heading to the Wilderness Zone later.
