Chapter 1315: Cannot Be Indifferent

Whoosh!

With a sound of piercing through the air, Xu Que soared into the sky, stepping on the void as he rushed toward the Southern Continent!

The crowd watched his departing figure, falling into deep thought.

Although no one present knew what had happened, they could basically tell that there must have been a story between Fairy Zixia and Xu Que!

"Oh my, oh my, Teacher Duan, you're in trouble now!" Er Gouzi looked at Duan Jiude with a face full of schadenfreude and laughed sympathetically.

Duan Jiude, however, was still like an outsider, unable to see the clues, and said with a confused face: "What do you mean? What trouble could I, an old man, have? Looking at this situation, the one in trouble should be that kid, right?"

"Yo, you still dare to call that kid 'that kid'? Teacher Duan, don't blame this deity for not reminding you; I'm afraid in a little while, you'll have to change how you address him!" Er Gouzi said with a grin.

When Duan Jiude heard this, he became even more confused: "What do you mean? Teacher Er Gou, don't speak in riddles; if you have something to say, just say it!"

"Pfft!"

Er Gouzi took the opportunity to point his butt at Duan Jiude and actually let out a fart!

"Damn it!" Duan Jiude was instantly enraged and directly raised his fist to charge at Er Gouzi.

Er Gouzi had a face full of wretched smiles, turned and ran, looking very smug, and the situation immediately evolved into a chase between a man and a dog.

The people present felt ashamed and shook their heads speechlessly.

Mo Junchen touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It seems our Gang Leader Xu is quite the romantic, but... the direction Fairy Zixia left in earlier doesn't seem to be South... uh!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Mo Junchen felt a cold gaze fall upon him and hurriedly shut his mouth.

"Protector Mo, you seem to know too much!" Liu Jingning smiled faintly, her gaze fixed on Mo Junchen.

"No, no, no, I was just saying it casually, maybe I saw it wrong, no, it must be that I saw it wrong!" Mo Junchen hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

Even though his cultivation level and strength were much higher than Liu Jingning's, he couldn't help but feel cowardly at this moment.

Who in this world doesn't know that a woman jealous and competing for affection is the most terrifying?

The people present also kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to utter a single word.

Just now, everyone had seen clearly that Fairy Zixia had headed toward the Five Elements Mountain, not the Southern Continent, but Liu Jingning had pointed Xu Que toward the Southern Continent. Anyone smart knew they should keep their mouths shut.

After all, that was someone else's family business!

Not to mention, the person in front of them was the Demoness who had once dominated the four continents; who would dare to snitch on her?

"I was just stretching my body casually; I didn't say that woman went to the Southern Continent. What does it have to do with me?" Liu Jingning responded lazily and then turned and left directly.

Although she had known for years that this guy Xu Que had female confidantes everywhere, now that Xu Que had restrained himself, Liu Jingning thought she could set her mind at ease, but she hadn't expected that guy to have hidden a Fairy Zixia.

The point was that she had been worried about Xu Que here for over forty days, and as a result, the moment that guy came out, he was in a hurry to find Fairy Zixia. It would be strange if Liu Jingning didn't have a little temper!

Of course, having a little temper was one thing, but her pointing out the direction of the Southern Continent wouldn't have any effect on Xu Que.

With her cultivation level, she could sense that Fairy Zixia's aura was heading toward the Five Elements Mountain, let alone Xu Que!

If Xu Que headed toward the Southern Continent, he would soon discover that Fairy Zixia's aura was gone and would certainly find the correct direction again.

And in fact, that was exactly what happened. Xu Que had only rushed out a short distance before he realized that there was no lingering aura of Fairy Zixia along the way.

This was a very strange thing; even the Buried Immortal Valley had lingering auras, so why was there none in this direction?

"Ah, this little demoness, she really is..." Xu Que guessed the reason immediately and gave a bitter laugh!

He also knew that by doing this, Liu Jingning would definitely have a little temper, but there was no help for it; who told him to have done even more excessive things back then? He truly felt ashamed toward Fairy Zixia.

Back then, he didn't have his current mindset; he was just holding the curiosity of trying out the Fate Red Rope, and coupled with the conflict between him and Fairy Zixia, he had disguised his identity. As for what happened later in the illusion, it was truly fate.

Heaven's will is such, what can be done?

But since he had made a mistake, he really should make amends and take on this responsibility.

Before Fairy Zixia left, she had said, "Zhi Zun Bao is already dead," proving that she could not accept the fact that Xu Que was Zhi Zun Bao. But the fact that she would rather pretend Zhi Zun Bao was dead than face Xu Que showed that she had truly been hurt.

For a woman who had severed emotions for countless years for the sake of cultivation, once she developed feelings, she would only be more innocent and naive than someone just experiencing love for the first time. Xu Que had once given her a beautiful experience in the identity of Zhi Zun Bao, and now that she knew the truth, it was equivalent to that beauty being brutally torn apart, replaced by a bloody truth.

Anyone would find this hard to accept!

Therefore, Xu Que's guilt became even more severe, so severe that his heart was twitching with sharp pain!

So much so that he had to go find Fairy Zixia at all costs!

"She went to the Five Elements Mountain again?"

Xu Que's divine sense permeated the world, and he soon sensed the lingering aura of Fairy Zixia, feeling stunned.

He couldn't figure out why Fairy Zixia would actually go to the Five Elements Mountain again!

After all, that place had already become a place of sorrow for Fairy Zixia!

"Sigh!"

Xu Que sighed deeply and shook his head: "For the first time, I feel that good looks cannot save everything!"

Whoosh!

Soon, he changed direction, infused his physical strength into his immortal essence, pushed his speed to the limit, and flew rapidly toward the Five Elements Mountain.

Along the way, Xu Que followed the lingering aura of Fairy Zixia and kept moving forward.

He still held a glimmer of hope in his heart; since Fairy Zixia hadn't concealed her aura, perhaps she was waiting for him to find her.

Finally, Xu Que arrived at the Water Origin Kingdom.

Near the wilderness of Snow City, at the entrance to the underground illusion from back then, Xu Que stopped.

His heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

A familiar beautiful figure was standing there at this moment; that spacious Daoist robe, the fluttering long black hair—it was indeed Fairy Zixia.

"Uh..." Xu Que opened his mouth, his throat moved slightly, and just as he made a sound, it stopped abruptly.

He suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say.

Looking at that back, Xu Que found that any language at this moment seemed so pale and powerless.

At the same time, the beautiful figure in front slowly turned around.

She was still as beautiful and stunning, her temperament otherworldly, like a work of art, making one feel pleasing to the eye, yet one would especially want to cherish her, but dare not have the thought of presumptuously possessing her.

Her gaze was full of indifference; apart from indifference, there was nothing else.

She just looked at Xu Que indifferently, without speaking, not even as if she were looking at Xu Que, but as if she were looking at a piece of air.

"A... A-Zi, long time no see!" Xu Que held it in for a long time, and finally, feeling guilty, he took the initiative to speak.

A-Zi, this form of address, he had called her for a lifetime in the illusion.

"What is it?" Fairy Zixia also spoke, her voice extremely flat, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"You should know why I came; I want to say I'm sorry, but I feel that saying it would be shameless, and not saying it would be even more shameless, so now... I really don't know what to say!" Xu Que said with a bitter laugh, slowly walking forward.

Fairy Zixia, however, shook her head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter anymore!"

Doesn't matter?

Xu Que's footsteps suddenly stalled, the expression on his face stiffened somewhat.

Fairy Zixia's calmness made him feel intense unease again instantly.

"It cannot not matter! Zhi Zun Bao is..." Xu Que shouted loudly.

But before he could finish, a cold light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and killing intent swept toward him.

At this instant, Xu Que stood frozen in place, forgetting to dodge.

He discovered that the sword in Fairy Zixia's hand was stopping right in front of him, only 0.01 centimeters away from his throat!

Xu Que: "???"
