Seeing Terra Su injured only fueled Gu Qianyin’s rage. In her heart, anyone who dared to harm Terra Su even slightly must die.
Of course, what Gu Qianyin didn’t know was that Terra Su had deliberately gotten injured to expose Owen Situ’s weaknesses.
Despite her murderous intent, Gu Qianyin knew that Owen Situ was far stronger than Tian Wei had ever been, so she couldn’t act rashly.
“Get out. You’re not welcome here.”
Gu Qianyin pointed her sword toward the door, her face icy cold.
“Qianyin, don’t be so cold. I just heard you were here and came to see you,” Owen Situ said with a smile, walking toward her. But halfway there, he felt the chill in her gaze and awkwardly stopped.
“Mind your own business and leave,” Gu Qianyin said coldly.
Owen Situ’s face darkened slightly, feeling a sting to his pride. “Qianyin, what’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for this guy. Do you believe I’ll kill him?”
“Try it,” Gu Qianyin’s face turned even colder, her already icy demeanor now like a glacier, radiating a chilling aura.
“Alright, it seems you really have feelings for this guy. Watch me kill him,” Owen Situ roared in fury. He had wondered why Gu Qianyin had suddenly left Star Luan Gate for Clear River City and gotten close to an unknown boy. Now it was clear—she had feelings for him. This was unforgivable; he had to kill this boy.
“Nonsense!” Gu Qianyin’s face changed slightly, but she denied it, raising her sword and advancing on Owen Situ. “Leave now, or I’ll make you.”
“Qianyin, step aside. I must kill this boy today.” Owen Situ tried to dodge Gu Qianyin and attack Terra Su, but she blocked him at every turn. Finally, he had no choice but to engage in battle with her.
He knew Gu Qianyin’s cultivation level was far below his, so he was careful not to hurt her. However, as soon as they clashed, Owen Situ was shocked to find that Gu Qianyin’s cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Condensing Origin Realm!
This fact astonished Owen Situ. He clearly remembered that a few months ago, Gu Qianyin was only at the sixth level. How could her cultivation have increased so much in such a short time?
After a brief moment of surprise, Owen Situ’s eyes lit up with joy. He must have misunderstood Gu Qianyin earlier. She must have gained some significant opportunity here, which explained her rapid improvement, not because she had fallen for that boy.
Moreover, for her cultivation to increase so much in a few months, she must have been training day and night, leaving no time for romance.
Thinking this, Owen Situ was overjoyed. “Qianyin, I misunderstood you. You’ve been training here all along, not falling for this boy.”
“Get lost,” Gu Qianyin attacked Owen Situ relentlessly.
Owen Situ didn’t want to hurt Gu Qianyin, and feeling guilty, he didn’t dare to fight back. He dodged her attacks while apologizing.
Despite this, Owen Situ’s cultivation was still much higher than Gu Qianyin’s. Even without fighting back, he could handle her attacks easily with his Transforming Realm cultivation.
However, as he dodged, Owen Situ felt something odd. Gu Qianyin’s combat strength seemed stronger than a typical ninth-level Condensing Origin Realm cultivator. He had fought others at that level before, and this felt different.
Could it be that Gu Qianyin not only had a fortuitous encounter but also had her innate talent enhanced?
Owen Situ didn’t ponder further. Fighting Gu Qianyin was pointless now. He jumped back a few steps, leaving the battle.
“Qianyin, don’t be angry. Since you don’t want me here, I’ll leave and come back another time.”
As he spoke, he glanced warningly at Terra Su. “Boy, don’t get any ideas about Qianyin. She’s out of your league. If you have any improper thoughts, I’ll make sure you die without a grave.”
With that, Owen Situ swiftly left the courtyard.
Gu Qianyin chased him for a few steps but gave up when she couldn’t catch him.
“Sorry, Terra Su. I didn’t expect Owen Situ to come here suddenly,” Gu Qianyin apologized, feeling guilty for not being able to capture him after he caused trouble at the Jiang Family.
“No need to apologize. That guy’s life is mine,” Terra Su snorted. How dare he cause trouble at the Jiang Family? Even if he was a Transforming Realm genius, he would have to kneel if he hurt anyone from the Jiang Family.
Even though he didn’t have the strength to kill Owen Situ now, it wouldn’t be long before he did.
Gu Qianyin knew Terra Su meant what he said. She quickly advised, “Don’t be impulsive. Owen Situ is a direct descendant of the Situ Family in Anyang City. If you harm him, you’ll definitely offend the Situ Family.”
“Is the Situ Family strong?” Terra Su asked.
“Very strong. They’re not the top family in Anyang City, but they’re definitely in the top five,” Gu Qianyin explained. Owen Situ had been pestering her ever since he visited Star Luan Gate two years ago and saw her. Although she rejected him, she couldn’t do anything about his powerful family, so she had to endure it.
“I see,” Terra Su said, his eyes gleaming.
Gu Qianyin saw this and couldn’t help but feel sorry for the Situ Family. She knew Terra Su well. Any force that provoked him would meet a bad end, no matter how powerful. The Situ Family had just made a deadly enemy.
…
The next day.
Terra Su bid farewell to Sophia Xu and headed to Anyang City.
He only brought Gu Qianyin and her sister, Gu Qianxue. Gu Qianxue, rarely having the chance to travel, was as excited as a little bird, chattering non-stop.
Terra Su and Gu Qianyin let her be. They traveled in a spacious carriage pulled by eight swift horses, enjoying the scenery and resting or cultivating inside the roomy carriage.
Terra Su took the opportunity to test Gu Qianxue on some basic alchemy theories from a booklet he had given her.
To his surprise, the usually carefree Gu Qianxue recited the theories fluently and even answered questions quickly and accurately.
This showed that she not only memorized the content but also understood it.
