Chapter 639 - Separation

No matter how the wind blew or how the clouds moved, the tensed atmosphere in this region couldn’t be dismissed.

Luo Tianshen’s brows were slightly knitted as he looked at the youth before him. The latter’s scarlet eyes were a little scary with strong will and madness that made him feel a little shocked.

The youth seemed to have a strong self-confidence; furthermore, that confidence of his wasn’t blind. It was a confidence that originated from his bones or blood.

At this moment, Luo Tianshen finally understood why his lovely and outstanding granddaughter would fall for the youth before him.

Compared to other youths, he did seem a little different in comparison.

But even so, Luo Tianshen only dismissed Mu Chen’s words with a laugh as he shook his head. A faint smile appeared on his stern and aged face as he spoke, “Your first impression to me doesn’t seem too bad. But in the future, I am not looking for an eloquent mouth. Luo Li is my granddaughter, and as long as I am still alive, I will not let anyone bully her. If you want to take her away from me, then you have to use your actions to speak the next time.”

“Furthermore, Luo Li can’t be waiting for you for the rest of her life. Thus, if you feel that you can no longer catch up to her, then give up. It will be a good thing for both you and her.”

Mu Chen smiled. “Then, I’ll have to ask Patriarch Luo to take good care of her. I believe that there will be a day when you will change your judgement of me.”

“Let’s hope that’s the case, I am expecting for us to meet again.”

Luo Tianshen faintly smiled and did not speak anymore. He waved his hand towards Mu Chen as he flew up in the sky with a turn of his body.

This youth was more stubborn than he had imagined. It looked like it wouldn’t be possible for him to convince that youth. But that didn’t matter. Time would tell. Time would gradually let him know the gap between him and Luo Li. At that time, he wouldn’t be able to maintain the stubbornness he displayed today.

Mu Chen looked at Luo Tianshen’s silhouette and couldn’t stop clenching his fist as he took a breath in. In this short conversation, he felt the vast pressure coming from Luo Tianshen. The latter did not use any harsh words to ridicule him, but he could feel the distance emitted from the latter.

Clearly, he didn’t believe that Mu Chen could reach the height that he would have to view him with importance.

However, Mu Chen did not hold any resentment or indignation. After all, with Luo Tianshen’s eyesight, he had seen too many geniuses, and no matter how firm Mu Chen’s speech was, it was impossible for him to shake Luo Tianshen’s thoughts.

In the distant sky, there was a little anger in Luo Li’s gaze as she looked at the approaching Luo Tianshen. Her voice had also turned much colder as she said, “What did you tell him?”

“Why? You’re afraid of me threatening him? If a threat could make him give up, then I would have to doubt the eyesight of my granddaughter.” Luo Tianshen smiled.

“I promised you that I would begin accepting the inheritance of the Luo God Clan and take over it. I will endure it no matter how hard it will be.”

Luo Li’s gaze dropped down as she continued with a soft voice, “However, I do not wish for you to interrupt his decision. He is the first man that I have fallen for and will be the last. Even if he doesn’t have any achievements in the future, at the very least...”

She raised her head as she looked at Luo Tianshen. A brilliance abruptly shone from her crystal-clear pupils as she carried a trace of majestic presence belonging to an Empress, “There’s still me!”

Luo Qingya and Luo Xiu, who stood behind Luo Li, had their eyes flickered at this instant as they exchanged a look. Their gazes were a little complicated as they looked at the silhouette of the youth that was far away.

Looking at the resolution in Luo Li’s eyes, Luo Tianshen had also fallen silent, since he had underestimated the relationship between Luo Li and Mu Chen.

After pondering for a long while, Luo Tianshen finally spoke with a bitter smile, “What’s so good about that kid to make you so protective of him?”

“If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have the courage to carry the responsibility of the Luo God Clan.” Luo Li spoke in a soft voice.

“Seems like I have to thank him based on that.”

Luo Tianshen smiled as he strode forth and lightly patted the girl’s shoulder. “I am not against the relationship between you and him. But sometimes, a man doesn’t need to be protected. Furthermore, I could tell that although that brat looks gentle and warm on the surface, he’s quite prideful in his bones. I want to see if he can seize my granddaughter from my hands one day.”

“I believe that grandfather will lose.” Luo Li chuckled.

“We’ll see.” Luo Tianshen wasn’t bothered by her words as he continued, “Shall we go now?”

Luo Li took a glance at the silhouette in the distance. Her eyes grew red again as she bit on her lips and nodded her head with resolution. Her hand lightly pulled on the feather of the Lightning Eater Crane. The crane issued a loud cry, flapping its wings and rapidly dashed into the spatial vortex.

Looking at Luo Li’s departure, Mu Chen suddenly inhaled a mouthful of air and roared, “Luo Li, wait for me. I will definitely become that supreme expert and find you, trashing all those bastards that dare to bully you!”

His voice was enveloped under vast Spiritual Energy as it resonated between the heavens and earth, leaving every single student in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy dumbfounded.

“That kid...” the Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang was also stunned as they uncontrollably laughed shortly after, their eyes filled with praising gazes.

“Pfffft.”

Luo Li, who was about to enter the vortex, laughed, except her eyes were still red as she covered her mouth. She nodded her head with strength, but she did not look back as she entered into the spatial vortex and disappeared.

Behind her, the lightning crane army followed closely behind.

Luo Tianshen was the last to enter, he first cast a strange glance at Mu Chen with an unnoticeable smile on his stern aged face. However, he still let out a cold snort towards Mu Chen in the end. He then cupped his hands towards the Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang before walking into the spatial vortex.

Creak! Creak!

The spatial vortex slowly spun and shrunk, bit by bit, as it disappeared, restoring the sky to how it was before.

As they left, the pressure that engulfed the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy gradually faded, allowing innumerable students to feel relieved in their hearts as they wiped their cold sweats.

Mu Chen still stood on the spot, but no one dared to bother him. Ye Qingling and the rest lightly sighed as they dispersed everyone so that no one disturbed Mu Chen.

Mu Chen stood still for half an hour before slowly sitting down on the towering stone and laid down with his arms apart and slowly shut his eyes.

Ling Xi quietly appeared behind Mu Chen as she cast a glance at him and did not speak to disturb him.

From the sky, the Nine Netherworld Bird descended as she formed into a slender and graceful humanoid figure. Seeing Mu Chen’s current state, she knitted her brows as she said, “You wouldn’t be dejected just by this, right? If so, then you’re too much of a disappointment.”

“If this is how far you understood him, then the Bloodlink Bond between the two of you is too useless.” Ling Xi faintly said as she cast a glance at Nine Nether.

“Oh?” Nine Nether’s brows raised as she turned her head towards the beauty who was a little cold and donned in a white dress. She lightly smiled, but that smile of hers was a little cold and dangerous, “Looks like you have complaints about our Bloodlink Bond?”

“If I have the ability, I will definitely dissolve it. I don’t want Mu Chen to be implicated because of it,” said Ling Xi.

“Dissolve the Bloodlink Bond? You’re overestimating yourself.” Nine Nether spoke as she cast her lips to the side.

“Then, do you want me to try?” Ling Xi spoke in a cold voice.

“You can give it a try!”

The two girls stared at each other without giving way. This was the first time that the both of them have met, but there was already the smell of gunpowder between them as they entered a state of mutual hostility.

“Enough!”

However, just when they showed signs of moving from verbal fights to physical fights, a bark resounded as Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes and stared at them in an imposing manner.

However, that dignified manner of his was useless to the two girls before him.

“Little brat, you’re pretty impressive, right?” Ning Nether walked with her long slender legs towards Mu Chen, carrying a dangerous smile on her face as she clenched her fist, emitting crackling noise.

Ling Xi was also looking at Mu Chen with stars flickering on her fingers.

“Uh... the both of you can continue.” Mu Chen climbed up as he dryly laughed. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds were against him. Any of the two girls before him could easily crush him.

Seeing Mu Chen’s reactions, the corner of Nine Nether and Ling Xi’s lips rose. However, when they looked at each other, they issued a cold snort as they did not find each other to their liking.

“You’re okay now?” Nine Nether enquired.

“I’m not that weak.” Mu Chen smiled as he raised his head, looking at the location in which the vortex disappeared as a smile rose up on his handsome face.

“I am looking forward to the day I go to the Luo God Clan, and I will do my best for that day.”

“No one can obstruct me!”

Looking at the usual confident smile on Mu Chen’s face, Nine Nether and Ling Xi felt relieved and were somewhat gratified.

Mu Chen stretched his waist. It seems like he wouldn’t be staying in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy for too long, but before that... he had to make the necessary breakthrough.

Only upon reaching the Sovereign Realm, can he have the qualification to graduate from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!
