The Aloof Girl Opens the Door of Her Heart Only to Him

chapter 11 - War.


Tán Fēngcǎo the Daoist ignored the man’s words and continued running at full speed.Watching Fēngcǎo’s actions, the man also paid no mind and continued to chase him closely, blocking his attacks.Watching the scene, Fang Qing immediately cast Detection on both Fēngcǎo and the man.Píngshēng Power Rating: Unknown. Tán Fēngcǎo Power Rating: Late Stage 1.After quickly reviewing their information, Fang Qing swiftly decided how to proceed.She removed her concealment, held Wu Qian, and stood openly in the center of the corridor, staring at the large group ahead of her.Seeing Fang Qing’s black cloak, Tán Fēngcǎo instinctively felt she was not Píngshēng, and shouted at her,“Miss, could you lend me a hand!”Meanwhile, Píngshēng stared at Fang Qing and narrowed his eyes. She was very similar to the person Zǐ’ān had described.Besides those two, there was another person among the white-robed people behind Píngshēng. He looked at Fang Qing ahead and, surprised, said,“Fang…”Suppressing the rest of the words, he tightly gripped the wood-cleaver in his right hand, tensed his body, ran even faster, and came directly to the front row of the white-robed people.And apart from those three, the expressions and movements of the others were more or less the same. They stared intently at Fang Qing, ready at any moment to be her enemy.Watching the various expressions of the group ahead, Fang Qing’s lips curved into a slight smile, then she revealed her sharp edge and said boldly to Tán Fēngcǎo the Daoist,“You’re the leader of Tīngxiá Tower, right? Miss here wants to test your strength; you’d better be ready!”Her arrogant tone was vastly different from her usual aloofness, as if she were two different people.Hearing this, Píngshēng was completely certain of Fang Qing’s identity; he waved his hand and commanded those around him,“She is not our enemy.”His tone was calm, yet exuded unquestionable authority.Upon hearing the leader’s order, the members of the Wúgòu Alliance immediately let go of their hostility, and goodwill began to appear in their eyes as they looked at Fang Qing.And Gu Yuan, dressed in a white robe among them, paid no heed to Píngshēng’s order and gazed at Fang Qing in astonishment. Because in his impression, she was not the highborn young lady type.Fang Qing’s unfriendly words instantly made Tán Fēngcǎo understand her stance, causing him to grip the whisk tightly and his mindset to begin changing. If Fang Qing had come to help him, their chances of survival—for him and his daughter—would have increased greatly, but now she had come to stop him, which meant he would surely die today! He knew all too well what he had done, so he was not really afraid of death, but the only thing he worried about was his daughter. Although she was a bit overbearing, a bit ruthless, and not very kind to others… she was still his daughter after all. Therefore, no matter what, he had to make sure she lived to get out!Tán Fēngcǎo whispered to his daughter held in his arms,“Zhifēng, I’ll do my best to hold them off—run while you can. Remember, don’t think about revenge!”Tán Zhifēng was also very aware of their situation, so she obediently said,“All right, Daddy. You take care of yourself.”Tán Fēngcǎo nodded lightly, then took a blood-colored pill from his storage ring and swallowed it decisively. As the pill entered his stomach, his aura became completely different from before. A violent aura radiated from Tán Fēngcǎo, signifying his determination to die if necessary!If Fang Qing were to cast Detection on Tán Fēngcǎo again at this moment, the data would be as follows:Tán Fēngcǎo (in a berserk state) Power Rating: Full Stage 1 (Temporary)Tán Fēngcǎo looked at Fang Qing, who was only about a dozen meters away, and unleashed a half-moon-shaped light wave without reservation. The light wave was mostly emerald green with a few blood-red flecks, and it moved at extreme speed, carrying a fierce gust of wind that swept toward Fang Qing.Staring at the obviously much more powerful half-moon attack, Fang Qing felt a sense of pressure, and at the same time, a sense of exhilaration. This was exactly what she longed for! A battle between equals was the true destiny of a martial artist, a martial artist’s pursuit! With her true qi gathered into Wu Qian in her hand, Fang Qing directly slashed out a blade that cleaved through the light wave like a hot knife through bamboo, without the slightest hesitation!Focusing on Tán Fēngcǎo before her, Fang Qing said boldly,“Come on! Let’s have a deathmatch where if you don’t win, you die! As a reward, I won’t stop that girl.”Tán Fēngcǎo stared into Fang Qing’s eyes, then gently put down Tán Zhifēng with his left hand and said calmly,“All right.”As soon as Tán Fēngcǎo’s words fell, a long blade slashed toward her, paying no heed whatsoever to Tán Zhifēng at his side. The whisk rose, its hairs as stiff as iron needles curling toward the blade, attempting to pin it in place. But the result did not match Tán Fēngcǎo’s expectations: Wu Qian was incredibly sharp, slashing cleanly through and severing the hairs on the whisk, then, with unabated force, it swung toward Tán Fēngcǎo’s neck!Seeing the sharp long blade, Tán Fēngcǎo’s eyes flickered, and then the ground beneath him suddenly shifted, thrusting him two meters away from Fang Qing. However, even though the blade missed, it changed nothing, because Fang Qing immediately rushed in front of Tán Fēngcǎo and slashed again, and Tán Fēngcǎo also wielded the whisk to block this blade. This time, he increased his spiritual energy output and did not use the hairs to block, so this slash did not produce any real effect on Wu Qian.But then Fang Qing attacked again, not giving Tán Fēngcǎo a moment to breathe, and Tán Fēngcǎo reacted with agility and endurance, continuously blocking Fang Qing’s attacks. Thus the two fought at equal strength.As for Tán Zhifēng, she was no longer on the spot by now; she was desperately striding forward, running at full speed, paying no attention to the battle behind her. She believed her father would definitely survive!Similarly, the Wúgòu Alliance by her side did not stand idly by; under Píngshēng’s orders, some members pursued Tán Zhifēng, following closely behind her. The remaining members of the Wúgòu Alliance surrounded Fang Qing and Tán Fēngcǎo, leaving not the slightest gap. And they held weapons, staring intently at Tán Fēngcǎo, ready at any moment to follow Píngshēng’s command.However, among the group there was one who did not fit in; he silently stepped back, hiding behind the others, not wanting to draw Fang Qing’s attention. And just as he had thought, Fang Qing did not notice him; she forced Tán Fēngcǎo back with a single slash, then arrogantly said to the surrounding Wúgòu Alliance members,“I intend to fight him for three hundred rounds; you must not interfere, or you’ll regret it!”Píngshēng, watching Fang Qing and ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Tán Fēngcǎo fight, also nodded, ordering the Wúgòu Alliance members to cease interference. With their leader’s order, the group no longer prepared to attack Tán Fēngcǎo, but focused intently on this rare battle. After all, one was the leader of Tīngxiá Tower with Foundation Establishment cultivation, and the other was the mysterious, overbearing young lady. The two were evenly matched, going blow for blow in a brilliantly spectacular fight—such a scene was not something one saw every day!After warning the Wúgòu Alliance members, Fang Qing looked at Tán Fēngcǎo and said unceremoniously,“Since there’s no more interference, it’s time for me to get serious. Old man! Watch closely!”
