Chapter 626: Chapter 176 Long Road Ahead_2
The red silhouette flickered as Goshawk transformed into a spectral figure and charged towards Ah Dai. Unyielding, Ah Dai shielded with his Silver Small Shield, courageously clashing with Goshawk under the envelope of white True Qi. The red and white glows crisscrossed in the air, abruptly halted, each resting where their opponent previously stood, their shifting movement created an eerie scene. At the point where they clashed, a thunderous boom echoed, with a mighty shock wave shooting into the sky. "Good, good! What a remarkable disciple Di Si has taught. Let’s meet again at the Heavenly Gang Mountain Range." With a flash, Goshawk’s figure vanished into a trace of luminance, disappearing in the distance.
Xuan Yue quickly rushed to Ah Dai’s side, anxiously asking, "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
Ah Dai shook his head and reassured everyone, "Don’t worry, I’m fine." He then escorted Xuan Yue towards the ground while speaking.
Xuan Yue asked, "Who was that old man just now? Such formidable power! It seemed as if he’s not inferior to you."
Ah Dai nodded, "He’s one of the current four Sword Saints. Of course he’s no ordinary person, his Fire Nightmare Aura was difficult to handle. Thankfully my powers have greatly increased. If it were half a year ago, I might not have been able to handle him." Xuan Yue frowned, "One of the four Sword Saints? Why did he come to bother you?"
Ah Dai replied, "Don’t you remember the story about the girl I told you? He’s the master of the man who oppressed the girl and came for revenge. If it weren’t for my Master’s reputation, he probably would have fought me with all his might today. It seems like the Sword Saint contest in February is not going to be such a simple matter! I need to heighten my cultivation. I originally thought once I reached my Master’s level of strength I could handle the other three Sword Saints, but apparently, I was too optimistic. These years, the other three Sword Saints have also been continuously enhancing their skills. Wanting to assure victory against them will not be that simple."
Olivia said, "Why does that old man look so familiar? Especially when he was drinking. It seems as if I’ve seen him somewhere before."
Ah Dai faintly smiled, "Of course you have. He’s been guarding the continent’s Mage Association gate for almost twenty years. If you’ve been there, naturally you’ve seen him."
......
The next morning, the group continued on their journey. Despite Goshawk’s disruption the previous night, everyone had a good rest in the warm grass huts, rejuvenated and moving towards the Death Mountain Range. Traveling through the vast plains was a heartening experience. Despite the lingering worry about Goshawk’s appearance, Ah Dai was still in a good mood with Xuan Yue’s company.
While walking, Xuan Yue seemed to remember something. Letting go of Ah Dai’s hand, she floated to Olivia’s side, "Brother Vila, I want to discuss something with you."
Olivia looked surprised but then smiled, "What is it? Great Princess Xuan Yue, you should keep some distance from me. If Ah’s the Great Dai gets jealous, I’m the one in danger." After saying this, he made a comical face, making everyone burst into laughter.
Xuan Yue responded irritably, "Silly man! I intended to play matchmaker for you, but seeing your attitude, forget it." After saying so, she floated back to Ah Dai.
Olivia blinked, "Matchmaker? Ah! Great Princess Xuan Yue, are you going to introduce me to a girlfriend? That’s awesome! I have been alone for such a long time, wanting to find a companion. My requirements are not high, as long as she has a good character and is half as beautiful as you."
Xuan Yue raised her head, not even bothering to glance at him, ignoring him completely.
Olivia leaned closer, trying to make amends by joking, "Great Princess Xuan Yue, little sister Xuan Yue, don’t be angry anymore, it’s my fault. Please, just forgive me this once."
Ah Dai watched Olivia humbly apologize with a smile, "Yue Yue, stop teasing Vila and tell him. I’d also like to hear who you plan to introduce him to."
Kino came closer as well, snorting disdainfully, "Great Princess Xuan Yue, I suggest you not introduce your friend to him. This kid will just scare her away with his attitude."
Enraged, Olivia rebuked, "Kino! What are you talking about? You’re married now, but I’m still all alone. Hmph, if you continue to provoke me, I’ll go after Lady Yue Ji."
Lady Yue Ji responded with a charming smile, "That sounds great! I love to see Kino get jealous. Vila, how do you plan to pursue me?"
Kino, taken aback, hurriedly ran to Lady Yue Ji’s side, gripping her hand, casting a vigilant look, "Olivia, I’m warning you. If you dare go after my Yue Ji, don’t blame me for turning you to ashes. Yue Ji is mine, and no one can take her away." Lady Yue Ji blushed, but her sweet look was obvious to everyone. She coquettishly said, "Stop it! Who’s yours? Did I marry you?" Although she said this, she didn’t shake Kino’s hand off.
Kino chuckled, "Of course you are mine. Who else but me could tolerate your temper? Ah! Ow! Why are you pinching me? You do have quite a temper!" After saying this, he ran off.
"You just keep talking, just keep talking." Yue Ji started chasing Kino and hitting him. Poor Kino, although armed with powerful magic, how could he be as fast as Yue Ji? In an instant, he was beaten to a pulp.
Olivia watched sympathetically as Kino ran away in ruin from Yue Ji, whispering to Xuan Yue, "Boss, the girl you are introducing to me won’t have a bigger temper than Yue Ji, right? I’m not as resilient as Kino in terms of beating. If she’s like Yue Ji, I’m afraid I’ll live a few decades less."
