Vol.3-Chapter 37 – The Vinegar Jar Was Tipped Over

Hearing this roar, Zhao Jiuge and the disciples of the Water Moon Temple were all shocked.

Their first thought was that the people of the Giant Sword Sect had arrived. However, thinking about it, it was impossible for them to arrive so quickly, so it had to be someone else.

After hearing that roar, Zhao Jiuge broke out in a cold sweat. He had been too careless. He only cared about talking and wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings at all. If Pei Su Su hadn’t been here, he wouldn't even have noticed anyone sneaking up on him. However, strength played a big role here as well. Pei Su Su was at the Nascent Soul Realm, a whole realm higher than him.

“You have already been discovered, but you still remain hiding. Are you that ugly?”

Pei Su Su’s voice was cold. She hated people that hid and schemed. Following her gaze, everyone looked toward a giant tree a few dozen meters away.

At this moment, a graceful figure slowly walked out from behind the tree. Only now did everyone see that it was a woman holding a flying sword.

The woman was wearing a plain dress and was by herself. Her silk-like hair was coiled up, making her look noble.

Her skin was as white as snow and she had a face that would stun anyone who saw it. She was equally as beautiful as Pei Su Su, but the difference was that while Pei Su Su was refreshing, she was much more cold and noble.

Seeing this woman appear, the disciples of the Water Moon Temple all exclaimed, “Senior Sister Lin!” She was the Chief Head Disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley. As a disciple of the Water Moon Temple in the Yan Province, how could they not recognize the famous Ling Bo Re?

Zhao Jiuge was also shocked to encounter Lin Bo Re here. The world was so large—why was he meeting her again after less than one month?

However, Zhao Jiuge also felt relieved. This was the Yan Province, so it was not surprising for a disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley to be here. After seeing the figure that occupied his dreams for many nights, Zhao Jiuge’s gaze became dim and complicated. For some unknown reason, the cold and noble Lin Bo Re looked troubled by something.

Pei Su su was originally alert and looked at Lin Bo Re coldly. She didn’t expect her to be a beautiful and cold woman. For some unknown reason, Pei Su Su felt a sense of inexplicable hostility toward Lin Bo Re. Then she saw Zhao Jiuge’s eyes and a trace of doubt appeared in her heart.

.

Lin Bo Re was not shocked, because she had been here for a while. When the conflict between Zhao Jiuge and Yu Zhengen first broke out, she had already arrived here and was hiding her presence.

The Battle Competition was only two years away, so she had been sent out to train. She had felt the spirit force fluctuations from the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Spirit Grass and came here. However, the moment she arrived, she saw Zhao Jiuge and Yu Zhengen fighting.

When Jian Wuxian brought Zhao Jiuge to propose their marriage at the Hundred Flower Valley, it triggered a violent ripple in her heart. She didn’t know how she felt about Zhao Jiuge. From their first encounter by chance, to their second encounter at the Ten Thousand Dao Sect, and finally spending more than a month together on the trip to the Liu Province, they hadn’t known each other for long, but somehow Zhao Jiuge had walked into her heart.

She only knew that she didn’t feel disgusted toward Zhao Jiuge like she did with other men. That day, she had refused Zhao Jiuge because she didn’t want the teacher who raised her to be reminded of the painful past. She was also still pursuing immortality and didn’t want to waste time on love. This was why she had decided to say those ugly words at that moment.

However, what Zhao Jiuge didn’t know was that when he said those words, they stabbed Lin Bo Re’s heart as well. However, in order to be successful in her cultivation and achieve immortality, she didn’t mind killing this budding love. If you could achieve immortality, what use was everything else?

This was what she had pursued for many years. However, after Zhao Jiuge’s group left, she asked herself every night if her choice was correct. Immorality seemed insignificant before love sometimes.

This made her very confused. Since she couldn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t think about it. She had made her choice, and she had chosen immortality. However, even someone as cold as her thought about what would happen if nothing had happened between her teacher and Jian Wuxian. Perhaps if they were both mortals, after getting to know Zhao Jiuge, they would spend their lives together as a couple. She would be a virtuous wife instead of someone carrying the pressure of the sect and her own desire for immortality.

When she met Zhao Jiuge, she felt a moment of joy. She knew Zhao Jiuge had come out to train and had the thought of traveling together with him.

However, when she saw Pei Su Su, who was no worse than her, acting so close to Zhao Jiuge, her joy froze. Her emotions quickly returned to normal.

She didn’t feel any anger about Zhao Jiuge having someone accompanying him. There was nothing between them, so why should she be angry? If there were emotion, it would indicate that she cared. Ling Bo Re’s calm expression made her look even colder.

However, she silently asked herself,?“If a person can forget someone so quickly and find new happiness, than were his words before a lie?”

However, Lin Bo Re had her own pride. She would only think about it in her heart and would likely never say it out loud.

Lin Bo Re seemed to completely ignore the disciples from the Water Moon Temple. She stared at Pei Su Su and was carefully observing her.

Then she slowly turned her head and indifferently looked at Zhao Jiuge, who had a complicated expression. She softly said, “Very good, Zhao Jiuge. It’s you who has made me understand that men are all up to no good. How long has it been?”

Her voice was calm, but it contained a tinge of anger. Even the disciples of the Water Moon Temple could tell, and Zhao Jiuge knew exactly what she meant.

He knew what he had done, and Su Su was right next to her. Zhao Jiuge felt very awkward facing these two women at the same time. Fortunately, Lin Bo Re had rejected him and he had already told Su Su about this matter; otherwise, he would’ve been in a terrible situation.

When Su Su heard this, an invisible aura erupted and she looked at Lin Bo Re with a cold gaze. No wonder Zhao Jiuge’s expression changed this much, and no wonder those Water Moon Temple disciples called her “Senior Sister Lin.”

The woman was Lin Bo Re, the one Zhao Jiuge had told her about! Su Su could only sigh about how fate toyed with people. She had long wanted to see the woman that had mesmerized Zhao Jiuge, and seeing her today, she was indeed charming.

That night, although Pei Su Su had forgiven Zhao Jiuge, she still felt wronged. However, since it had already happened and she still loved him, she could only forgive him and make him keep those three promises. This allowed each of them a way to step down, but what else could she have done? Now that Lin Bo Re was before her, she had finally found a place to vent her frustration.

The moment Lin Bo Re spoke, the Water Moon Temple disciples were dumbfounded. Hearing the anger and resentment in her words, could it be that something had happened between Zhao Jiuge and Lin Bo Re?

Senior Brother Zhang from the Water Moon Temple looked at Zhao Jiuge with a look of admiration and secretly exclaimed in his heart,?“The Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect’s Senior Brother Zhao is simply too awesome. Not only did he manage to capture the famous Hundred Flower Valley’s Ling Bo Re, he also has another woman who doesn’t lose to Ling Bo Re in terms of temperament or appearance. Simply too amazing.”

The two female disciples from the Water Moon Temple saw this situation and felt a bit of self pity.

Zhao Jiuge was a bit lost for words when facing Ling Bo Re’s questioning words. He lowered his head slightly and didn’t know how to respond to her.

“So you’re Ling Bo Re. Your appearance is definitely worthy of your fame. No wonder you were able to charm my block of wood to turn in circles.” Pei Su Su’s face became cold, and her words continued mockery and jealousy.

At this moment, the disciples of the Water Moon Temple became interested. It really looked like two women fighting over one man, and it looked like they were ready to fight at any moment. This was much more interesting than Zhao Jiuge fighting Yu Zhengen. After all, it involved the famous Ling Bo Re.

As soon as Pei Su Su spoke Zhao Jiuge was shocked silly. The moment he heard the jealousy in Su Su’s words, Zhao Jiuge knew that something was going to happen. Even though he was never afraid of a strong opponent, he didn’t know how to deal with this. The jar of vinegar was about to be tipped over.

Zhao Jiuge originally hoped that Ling Bo Re would ignore Su Su’s provocation due to her cold personality.

The cold words that came from Ling Bo Re next caused Zhao Jiuge’s face to turn deathly white, and his gaze moved back to Pei Su Su.

“Are you Bai Qingqing?”

Ling Bo Re didn’t answer or reject Pei Su Su’s question. Seeing this beautiful person before her, she subconsciously regarded her as Bai Qingqing. When she was nursing Zhao Jiuge’s injuries, he had told her everything about what happened to him at the sect.

The moment she asked that question, Zhao Jiuge felt his scalp go numb, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He had told Su Su about Ling Bo Re, but he hadn’t told her about Bai Qingqing.

There was no relationship between him and Bai Qingqing, but when it came from Ling Bo Re’s mouth, its meaning completely changed. He knew that he was dead for sure and that he would have to deal with the fallout.

“I’m not Bai Qingqing, my name is Pei Su Su.”

Su Su was startled for a moment when he heard Ling Bo Re’s words, then she suddenly understood. She took a glance at Zhao Jiue with a smile that wasn’t a smile. Zhao Jiuge felt the storm that was about to come from that glance.

The disciples of the Water Moon Temple were all awestruck, Their gazes of admiration turned into shock and worship. It was chaotic enough with the two of them, but now there was a Bai Qingqing?

At this moment, everything seemed to become even more lively.
