Su Xi looked at the Heavenly Gang True Person before her, seemingly wanting to speak but holding back, helpless.
With her Grandmaster severing the teleportation array, would she ever have a chance to return? But seeing her Grandmaster in a fit of rage, she dared not say more, fearing she might get implicated.
Having his delicious food ruined, the Heavenly Gang True Person's face was filled with regret, and he continued to pant heavily.
Those things smelled so fragrant, they looked delicious. Yet, he hadn't even taken a single bite before they were gone.
Only after the Heavenly Gang True Person's anger subsided somewhat did Su Xi cautiously ask, "Grandmaster, why did you react so strongly just now?"
The Heavenly Gang True Person pointed at the mess on the ground and said indignantly, "Someone interrupted my meal and overturned my table."
Su Xi, "..."
Hearing the Heavenly Gang True Person's words, ten thousand mythical beasts ran through Su Xi's mind.
┌(。Д。)┐
She had thought the Heavenly Gang True Person had stopped her from leaving for some significant reason, only to realize it was all because of a meal.
Although the reason was absurd, Su Xi calmed down and felt that it truly aligned with the Heavenly Gang True Person's habits.
The Heavenly Gang True Person seemed to grow angrier as he spoke, cursing Lin Qing for a while longer. Suddenly, his attention fell on Su Xi, "Do you know that person?"
Facing the Heavenly Gang True Person's inquiry, Su Xi subconsciously nodded, then shook her head.
"What do you mean by that?" The Heavenly Gang True Person was confused by Su Xi's behavior. Did she know him or not?
"Grandmaster, what do you intend to do?" Su Xi cautiously glanced at the Heavenly Gang True Person, intending to clarify his intentions first.
Although Lin Qing was not very responsible, he was, after all, her master. She couldn't just destroy him.
The Heavenly Gang True Person snorted coldly and said indignantly, "He ruined my things, of course, he has to pay the price."
Su Xi thought of the penniless Penglai Mountain and helplessly shook her head, not believing Lin Qing had the means to compensate.
Although she didn't want to betray Lin Qing, she knew she couldn't avoid answering her Grandmaster's question. She stirred her limited linguistic knowledge, organized her thoughts, and then changed the subject, "Grandmaster, although I know who that person is, can we leave this place?"
If this place offered a chance to leave, her Grandmaster wouldn't have been trapped here for so long. Thus, by posing this difficult question, she managed to directly defuse the conflict.
Hearing Su Xi's words, the Heavenly Gang True Person rolled his eyes at her, "Why can't we leave this place?" This world was his creation; naturally, he could leave whenever he wished.
"We can leave?" Su Xi's eyes widened, and countless mythical beasts ran across her forehead.
If they could leave easily, why had the Heavenly Gang True Person stayed here for so long?
The Heavenly Gang True Person seemed unwilling to elaborate. He grabbed Su Xi's hand and instructed, "Silently think of where that person is, and we'll go there immediately."
"Oh." Su Xi silently mourned for Lin Qing for three seconds, yet she didn't want to miss the chance to leave.
The moment she thought of Penglai Mountain, she felt a powerful attraction from above. Immediately after, she felt a gust of wind whistling past her ears.
In the great hall of Penglai Mountain.
Lin Qing stood with a grim expression. His clothes were torn into strips, hanging on him, making him look quite disheveled.
He had just used the Boundary Breaking Talisman to find Su Xi, but as he was about to bring her back, he was blocked by a powerful force. If he hadn't escaped quickly enough, he would have lost his life.
Who had Su Xi encountered? Why were they so powerful?
Anyone capable of snatching him from a rift in space must be stronger than him. And throughout the Xuanwu Continent, he had never heard of anyone so powerful.
Just as he was contemplating how to break the seal again, he suddenly felt a ripple in the space above him, and a blinding flash of light appeared.
Immediately after, a powerful pressure descended, making his breathing falter under its intensity.
"Not good. An enemy approaches." A thought instantly flashed in Lin Qing's mind. Unfortunately, the pressure from above was too intense. With his cultivation, he was completely immobilized for the moment.
As the light in mid-air faded, the scene within gradually became visible.
Upon seeing the situation within the light, Lin Qing's face revealed shock.
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
The missing Su Xi had appeared before him, and beside her was a man holding her hand. Moreover, he couldn't understand why that man was staring at him so ferociously. He didn't seem to know him.
The Heavenly Gang True Person looked at Lin Qing before him and, without waiting for Lin Qing to ask, lunged forward.
He had already sensed Lin Qing's aura; it was the person who had overturned his table earlier.
"What do you want to do? I'm telling you." Lin Qing felt a surge of panic as the Heavenly Gang True Person charged at him menacingly.
He couldn't even muster his full power before he was turned into a panda-eyed mess. Clutching his head, he curled up, constantly begging for mercy.
Seeing Lin Qing beaten into a panda-eyed state, Su Xi rushed forward to intervene. If the Heavenly Gang True Person continued, he would truly kill Lin Qing.
"Hmph." At Su Xi's persuasion, the Heavenly Gang True Person grudgingly retracted his fist, his face filled with indignation.
To appease the Heavenly Gang True Person, Su Xi quickly promised that tonight's dinner would be a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Hearing Su Xi's words, the Heavenly Gang True Person felt his anger subside slightly, and he temporarily let Lin Qing off the hook.
Freed from the Heavenly Gang True Person's oppressive aura, Lin Qing instantly regained his senses. He looked at the Heavenly Gang True Person with disbelief, his heart filled with confusion.
His injuries were all superficial. Although he looked pitiful, they were not too severe. What concerned him most was the Heavenly Gang True Person's strength.
Furthermore, he felt that the Heavenly Gang True Person looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
After appeasing the Heavenly Gang True Person, Su Xi looked at Lin Qing and gave him a look, signaling him to follow her.
Even the most resourceful woman can't cook without ingredients. The issue of ingredients naturally still required Lin Qing to resolve.
Receiving Su Xi's signal, Lin Qing secretly glanced at the Heavenly Gang True Person not far away. He was certain that if he stayed, he would be beaten to death.
For the sake of his life, he quickly followed Su Xi out.
As soon as they were outside, he eagerly asked, "Who is that person?"
There weren't many people who could shatter space. He knew them all. But he truly didn't recognize the Heavenly Gang True Person before him. Moreover, under the Heavenly Gang True Person's attack, he couldn't muster any of his magic power. All of this indicated the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Gang True Person.
Su Xi looked at Lin Qing, who had become a national treasure, and her expression turned peculiar. "The person you always pay homage to, and you still don't know who he is?"
Lin Qing had just started to ask when he was paying homage to him, but he stopped abruptly mid-sentence, looking at Su Xi in disbelief. "You mean, he is?"
He had just carefully recalled the appearance of the Heavenly Gang True Person and realized that it was exactly the same as his Grandmaster.
"He's really Grandmaster?" Lin Qing looked at Su Xi excitedly, completely forgetting his pain.
He had heard many legends about the Heavenly Gang True Person before. Now that the Heavenly Gang True Person had reappeared, it meant that Penglai Mountain had new hope.
Looking at Lin Qing, whose face was covered in injuries and who was also emotionally agitated, Su Xi couldn't help but say, "That's right, but now is not the time to be happy."
"Huh?" Lin Qing looked at Su Xi blankly, not understanding the meaning of her words.
"You overturned Grandmaster's meal. Think about how you'll deal with it next," Su Xi said to Lin Qing helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's expression instantly turned grim.
~(´•︵•`)~
What kind of things should he find to satisfy Grandmaster's demands?
