Chapter 243: My Name Is

"Take care now~"

Ren Yidao chuckled, watching with his own eyes as Li Fengyao smiled lightly and vanished before him.

Li Fengyao no longer resisted the force of attraction from the outside world, becoming the second person to depart in this Two Domains Conflict.

Yet, at the moment of parting, she dropped a remark that made Ren Yidao feel ashamed:

"Hehe, Feng Yao will be waiting for Lord Ren."

The tone was soft and pleasant, these tender, honeyed words sounding like a lover's lingering whisper at parting.

However, there was one problem.

"Could you please not say that using a man's appearance and voice."

"I don't like men."

Thinking this to himself, Shi Xue suddenly smelled something burning.

But this desire for revenge, buried in her bones since birth, could not be simply summarized by saying it was just how things were.

"You lot, really, you are too disobedient."

"You only teamed up to set a trap just to lure me in!"

The woman with a horn on her forehead and a disfigured face, whom Li Qiushui spoke of, was also no longer in that spot.

Regarding Li Fengyao, Ren Yidao had gained a new understanding.

Strange, how did they disappear as well?

But now, the newly promoted young hero Li Qiushui was lost in confusion; she had encountered a very fatal problem.

As for Li Fengyao's autonomous awakening, although Ren Yidao was somewhat surprised, he could actually accept it.

Li Qiushui planted the Giant Sword into the ground, and she herself stood before the Giant Sword, gesturing.

The final stretch of the road was smoother than imagined.

There had indeed been a pair of sisters there; she had rushed here specifically to save them.

"Eh, where are the people?"

What Li Long was truly thinking in his heart, perhaps only he himself knew.

He had never once thought he would lose this competition.

Interrupted by this, Li Qiushui also came back to her senses, discovering that the two sisters who should have been there had already vanished.

It is better to stay far away from high-stakes games like the struggle for the throne, which can easily lead to brothers turning against each other.

……

"Oh my brother, you had better worry about yourself."

"But, what does that have to do with me?"

As for the fate of this woman, Shi Xue actually already had a guess in her heart.

Right at the foot of the mountain, Shi Xue saw a woman.

And not far from her, a tall and upright figure stood with hands behind his back.

Moreover, now was not the time to consider such things; he still had important business to attend to.

In Li Fengyao, he had clearly recognized one thing.

Even if one changes to an unrelated identity, even if one faces a completely different destiny.

"I don't know what happened at the Zhengqi Sect, but for now, it seems the fire is no longer spreading."

"Has this expert's enemy... already left?"

"Come out!"

After watching for nearly half an hour, an irreverent thought arose in Shi Xue's heart.

"... Cough, cough!"

A sharp sword pierced through her chest, puncturing her heart and ending her life.

But unfortunately, this young girl, relying on her bond with her own delusions, woke up far too early, completely disrupting Ren Yidao's plan.

……

The result of this argument was ultimately executed according to Li Qiushui's will, and they set foot on the final path.

Fortunately, Li Fengyao did not waste the subsequent plot, slaughtering the Zhengqi Sect clean for her own selfish reasons.

If such a person were to ascend to the imperial throne, the world at that time would truly be in danger for everyone.

Coughing twice, Shi Xue pretended she had just arrived and called out loudly to the highly nervous Li Qiushui over there:

"Why did you run here? I've been looking for you for ages."

What's more, there was someone who had a bigger headache than him regarding this situation.

It was already burned clean.

Nope.

The air was filled with the scent of blood and fire, making one feel nauseated and fearful.

Shi Xue fell into deep contemplation.

Smiling with an awkward but polite expression, Shi Xue chimed in:

Without time to think, Shi Xue jumped onto the treetop in three or two steps, gazing into the distance.

Beneath the skin of that Zhengqi Sect disciple, it was always the Li Fengyao who hid her heart deep in the palace.

On the final road to the Zhengqi Sect, Li Qiushui, dragging the Giant Sword behind her, was still pouting and arguing for herself.

Seeming to sense someone coming from behind, he slowly turned his head, revealing a handsome face.

Just speak up, and I surely would have obediently run over.

"In any case, let's go take a look."

If Li Fengyao said this while looking like a woman, it would be fine, but using a man's appearance makes it too strange.

Shi Xue, you must believe me.

Shi Xue's eyes widened; she saw that thick smoke in the direction of the Zhengqi Sect, which was already about to dissipate.

"Could it be?"

Judging by the clues, there had indeed been a pair of sisters there, but they had vanished into thin air.

Shi Xue always had a strange feeling; this woman before her exuded the innocence and naivety of a young girl.

"I gave you a chance, but you were useless!"

"Heavens..."

Watching Li Qiushui's worried expression, Shi Xue could not say it outright; her mouth twitched, and she turned to say:

As expected, Li Qiushui's answer did not disappoint her.

Although some of my friends are into this sort of thing, I still cannot accept it.

"The competition hasn't ended yet."

"She probably won't survive."

Thinking of the villains skilled in concealment from storybooks, Li Qiushui narrowed her eyes and slowly scanned the surroundings while holding her sword.

!!!

"They have hidden themselves too!"

When all incorrect answers are eliminated, that answer, no matter how absurd, must be the correct one.

"I cannot protect you! You must quickly take those two sisters over there and flee this place."

"I see you!"

"Where did that guy with the unwilling look on his face run off to?"

"Either the fire has already been put out, or..."

He nodded politely to Li Qiushui and her companion, even revealing a gentle smile.

Li Qiushui was too deep into her role and remained convinced of her own conjecture.

The ruined face showed no expression, but the intact lips, for some reason, looked as if they were smiling.

Some people will not change easily.

It was only through a stroke of luck that she managed to become a disciple under some obscure Elder.

They did not encounter any of the obstacles they had imagined and successfully arrived at the mountain gate entrance of the Zhengqi Sect.

Her route was consistent with theirs; both were heading to the Zhengqi Sect.

First, she suffered mockery and tasted the coldness of the Earthly Realm, but for her younger sister, she endured it all.

This wealthy young lady was still immersed in her dream of acting as a chivalrous hero.

Li Qiushui woke up as if from a dream, suddenly blinked her eyes, and looked left and right.

But before Shi Xue could step forward, Li Qiushui nervously raised her hand to stop her reckless behavior.

Yet, Shi Xue observed for a long time without finding a single detail of the other party's presence in this place.

"You look a bit scary, heh."

Come over?

Worldliness can be practiced, and schemes can be learned.

At least, she would not get involved right now.

They certainly would not be any ordinary person.

Shi Xue suggested not going for the time being and waiting until things ended over there before going to take a look.

This expert's appearance was clearly that of someone confronting an enemy invisible to Shi Xue, and they were at a critical moment.

It stopped abruptly right there; beyond that, there were no more footprints on the ground, nor was there any disturbed brush.

Shi Xue frowned, not relaxing her vigilance because of the other party's appearance and kindness.

The footprints she saw became increasingly faint, and by the end, it looked as if they were moving forward entirely by sheer will.

Which side was the real her, after all?

"Time to go back to rolling the Dice!"

It doesn't matter if you all fight and kill each other, just don't splash blood on me.

I, Huhu, am not a citizen of Beigan, so my attitude won't change based on who the Emperor is.

"We have already walked for so long, let's go take a look."

If they wanted her to come over, there would be no need for such trouble.

Thus, Shi Xue did not approach and instead hid in the distance, carefully observing the situation in the field.

"Go."

"I am fighting a heinous enemy; he is very cunning and is currently hiding in the shadows."

"Don't come over!"

The Zhengqi Sect is on fire!?

Perhaps because they were walking with the wind, they did not smell it in advance, and only when they were less than ten miles from the Zhengqi Sect did they barely catch this faint scent.

But at this moment, Li Qiushui acted contrary to her usual self and did not agree.

"They are actually in cahoots!"

"Me?"

It was just that this once-glorious great sect could no longer show its former brilliance.

Whether it was Li Qiushui or Li Fengyao, or even Li Lingling and Li Yiyi, her relationship with him was not good enough to reach that point.

It was just one line of chuunibyou dialogue, so why did it stimulate her into waking up directly?

Sometimes, having so many overly excellent offspring is also a luxurious kind of trouble.

He still needs to have a better understanding of them.

It can also be considered that the Zhengqi Sect dungeon, meticulously designed by Ren Yidao, was not completely wasted.

Shi Xue:???

"You better stop while you're ahead!"

"Could it be!"

As a Knight-Thief, Shi Xue is also an expert in the Dao of concealment.

!

By the time Shi Xue had spent quite a while following the trajectory that streaked across the sky, running over while panting, this was the scene she saw.

As for the future struggle for the throne of the Beigan Dynasty, and who will eventually sit on it, he is also curious.

However, her tracks were traceable; from time to time, bloodstains could be seen dripping onto the ground.

That person was in white robes unstained by dust, black hair moving slightly with the wind, quietly watching the Zhengqi Sect plaque that had been mostly burned away.

"It's those two sisters, they were just over there, why are you... eh? Where are the people?"

"Although it's not very likely, is there a possibility, just a possibility."

Li Fengyao woke up and left, but Li Qiushui, who had been fighting her, did not wake up.

Moreover, Shi Xue's intuition was constantly reminding her.

It should, probably not be possible, right?

"Although it is unlikely that this expert would make such a low-level mistake, it is also possible that her enemy has already left."

No matter how flowery the praise, there is no such thing as a true disappearance into thin air in this world.

But a strong smell of burning—Shi Xue's footsteps faltered, and she covered her nose.

Li Fengyao was still her.

Then, she really did think of a reasonable possibility.

Saying this, she pretended she hadn't discovered anything and walked forward.

"That's right, he must be hiding in the surroundings, lurking in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to act."

Who?

"Me?"

Checking the surroundings again, there were only three male corpses and one yellow exotic weapon missing a corner.

Shi Xue had already observed for a long time; other than a few corpses, she did not see anyone else present.

She raised her sword hilt, squinted her eyes to observe the other party, and finally asked somewhat uncertainly:

"You... who are you?"

The woman's corpse lay there lifelessly, still clutching a blood-stained short sword in her hand.

Where is my enemy?

Something definitely happened!

After coming down from the tree, Shi Xue solemnly described the scene she had seen to Li Qiushui.

Shi Xue could also roughly guess the situation at the Zhengqi Sect at this moment.

To wield a sword across the world, walk the jianghu, and slay the wicked to eliminate evil.

She is dead.

Shi Xue looked at her arrogant appearance, thought about it, and felt it probably wasn't herself.

Although she didn't know where she had pulled this Stone Sword from, at least no ahoge had grown on her head.

"Don't hide! I won't be fooled!"

And Shi Xue, she actually had an idea in her heart.

A woman with a ruined face and a piece of golden fragment stuck in the top of her head was lying miserably on the ground.

Using her left hand to support her right hand, she hooked her right index finger, circling it to provoke and shout:

"Come over here!"

According to Ren Yidao's original plan, Li Lingling, holding the Blackened Flow script, was supposed to first go to the Zhengqi Sect to serve as a menial servant for those people and slowly work her way up for a period of time.

"Uh, okay... but where are there any two sisters?"

Pursuing the investigation step by step, she discovered that this was actually a conspiracy by her own teachers, and thus, in her rage, she blackened, killing all her enemies.

She said:

"But I really remember where they are!"

But this was not actually something he should be considering.

Knowing that any form of concealment actually has traces to follow.

This place was actually not far from the mountain gate of the Zhengqi Sect, and smelling a burnt odor at this time could only mean one thing...

Li Qiushui said with a certain tone:

"..."

Such fast movement technique!

"A trick of the eye?"

She never thought of the possibility that she had been daydreaming, only assuming the other party had vanished from the spot in an instant.

Perhaps they were taken away by someone?

Shi Xue thought this to herself.

She firmly believed that she had not seen wrong.

If she were to step forward at this moment, she would definitely interfere with the other party.

This place had already turned into a dead zone, yet the other party appeared in such a scene, looking completely out of place.

How did they disappear in the blink of an eye?

What a great script!

What a classic King's Way plot!

First suppress then elevate, plus a conspiracy, and the blackening revenge that everyone loves to see.

This man is extremely dangerous!!!

And Li Qiushui beside her also had a strange expression.

No male mother!

And after sending away the few characters he primarily controlled too early, Ren Yidao sighed softly:

Li Qiushui's brows furrowed as she tried hard to think about what exactly had happened.

"There is danger here!"

But sometimes, a cold aura, high and mighty and sharp as a keen sword, would leak out.

Afterwards, at some point in time, she would hear the tragic news of Yu Yu's passing.

This way is not acceptable.

That person tilted their head upon hearing this and smiled:

"My name is..."

"Li Fengyao."
