Immortal Soaring Blade

Vol.2-Chapter 281 – Five Year Agreement

However, after the Song siblings left, Ling Bo Re’s heart underwent a dramatic change. The cave became silent once more, and the only light was from the few night pearls.

As she looked at Zhao Jiuge’s pale and handsome face, an internal struggle was raging in her heart.

Only she knew how difficult this short period of time was.

From when she was little, she had always followed her teacher and cultivated. She had been brought to the sect by her teacher during her infancy. When she was in her teenage years, she was naive and fantasized about the future like many young girls. She wondered what kind of person would accompany her for the rest of her life.

However, as she cultivated more and more, her vision broadened and she understood the importance of strength. She also learned about immortality and set that as her goal. She gradually put aside everything to cultivate, and her strength improved rapidly. She no longer had any delusions of unrealistic love and only wanted to inherit the responsibility of the Hundred Flower Valley from her teacher while pursuing the ethereal goal of immorality.

From her teenage years, she didn’t lack pursuers and admirers—all of them seeked her attention. However, she had chosen to remain cold and turned a blind eye toward them. Many of them were more handsome and more powerful than Zhao Jiuge, but none of them has impacted her heart more than the man before her.

The first time she saw Zhao Jiuge, he was only an ant-like existence and she didn’t pay attention to him. It wasn’t until she met him again in the Ten Thousand Dao Sect that she was somewhat shocked. In such a short period of time, not only had Zhao Jiuge’s strength increased rapidly, he had also become the Chief Head Disciple of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect.

This time, out of shock and curiosity, she took an extra few looks at him. Who could’ve known that Zhao Jiuge would say he wanted her to become his dao partner before everyone. This time, the impact was even bigger and she was a little overwhelmed, so she could only hide behind her cold attitude. It has to be said that even those heavenly geniuses who had the same thoughts would only dare to express it indirectly. She never would have guessed that Zhao Jiuge would dare to be so bold. While Ling Bo Re felt a little anger, she also found it funny.

Who knew that this man would nearly die in order to save her today. This time, the impact was too great, leaving Ling Bo Re in shock. At this moment, Ling Bo Re looked at the man who had managed to shake her heart several times. She felt anger from her embarrassment but soon calmed down once more. As she looked at Zhao Jiuge’s face, the crack in her cold mentality became even bigger. However, when she thought about her goal of immortality, her heart trembled.

At this moment, under the light of the night pearls, one could see the internal struggle on her face that she could no longer hide.

After a long time, Ling Bo Re’s expression became calm once more and was no longer shaken; she returned to her usual coldness. At this moment, her heart seemed to have made a decision. Immortality or a dao partner—her heart had already made a decision.

……

One month later, Green Jade Mountain.

After a cold winter, the plum blossoms that covered Green Jade Mountain had withered and the only thing that remained were dried branches.

However, this plum forest would soon recover and flower again in a few short months. It would once more exude a pleasant fragrance and return to its former beauty.

Even though spring was not the season for plum blossom, the rest of Green Jade Mountain was filled with life.

At the top of Green Jade Mountain stood two figures that were looking into the distance.

One was a woman in her 20s who was wearing a black dress made of silk. One could easily see that she was an energetic and lively young woman with slender legs.

Her exquisite face was filled with excitement and anticipation. Her skin was snow-white and her eyes were filled with spirit. She had a head of silk-like hair that casually dragged over her shoulder. After five years of growth, Su Su had completely bloomed. Although her face hadn’t changed much, her temperament had undergone a dramatic change.

Beside her was a youth who was one or two heads shorter than her. The youth was about 12 or 13 years old and was wearing the same black clothes Zhao Jiuge used to wear. Normally, a youth at this age would be filled with desire and curiosity, but this youth’s eyes were filled with determination and were a bit grim. This was not something that should appear on a youth of this age.

The youth stood with his back straight and his aura was calm. He was standing beside Su Su and was also looking into the distance, but he occasionally looked toward Su Su. It was unknown what the youth was thinking about, but he would occasionally smile. If Zhao Jiuge were here, he would recognize this youth, Zhao Xiaotian, the little beggar he had picked up. However, at this moment, Zhao Xiaotian no longer looked like he did in the past and his body was flowing with spirit force. He had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm!

However, on a rock not far away from the two of them stood two more people. They didn’t hide their auras, and presumably, Su Su had already noticed them but was too lazy to pay them any attention.

One was an old man with white hair and grey, linen clothes. He had a kind smile on his face. He looked like an ordinary old man, but only people who knew him would know that once he was angry, he was not as kind as he looked. Today, Elder Yang’s aura was more mysterious than it was five years ago.

Beside Elder Yang was a handsome young man wearing a blood-colored robe. At this moment, the young man’s mood was not stable. He had a frown on his face and his fingers had turned white from clenching his fists. The young man stared at Su Su’s back, his gaze filled with anger, affection, and grievances.

Elder Yang looked at Xu Wuxing and let out a sigh. One was the daughter of the sect head and the other was one the top geniuses in the sect. Normally, the two of them getting together would be for the best, but the young lady’s heart was not with Xu Wuxing and instead with that stinking brat. As a result, he couldn’t say anything and would let them deal with it themselves. It was not good for him to intervene in emotional matters. Who let him be the elder that watched the young lady grow up? He wouldn’t force the young lady to do anything she didn’t want to do.

The youth lacked patience. After only half a day of seeing no one, he couldn’t help but ask, “Big Sister Su Su, do you think Big Brother will come today?”

Su Su didn’t even move her head and still looked into the distance in a daze. “He will come.” Her voice was firm.

She was tightly clenching half a piece of jade in her hand. It was five years ago today that she had given Zhao Jiuge half of this blood jade and agreed to meet in five years. She was waiting here for the man that made her look like she had lost her soul.

When Zhao Xiaotian heard this from his big sister Su Su, he didn’t ask again. He turned his head and looked forward to the arrival of his big brother. Five years had passed; he was very small back then and his memories of what happened were somewhat vague. However, he could not forget how that big brother had changed his fate. He no longer had to worry about his stomach being empty or the cold and instead could live in warmth and comfort. He had also set out on the path of cultivation. He felt that his big brother was a good pair with his big sister. It had been a long time, and he wanted to see that big brother again.

The two of them only said this one thing and the scene became quiet once more. No one else spoke to break the silence.

Su Su’s thoughts had returned back to five years ago, when she first met that block of wood in the unmarked graveyard. Although it wasn’t a romantic place, she would forever remember that scene and the warm smile of that youth.

She even remembered every little thing that happened during those few months. Every movement and smile was engraved in her mind.

She even remembered that after she was injured in the battle against the old man, Zhao Jiuge had mouth-fed her the medication. Just thinking about it, Su Su’s face bloomed into a smile and her face turned red.

Five years.

The emotions that had been buried deep in her heart after all this time had grown to become even more durable. This time, Su Su decided not to miss this chance and loudly expressed her feelings. A person only had one life, and even though cultivators like them live longer, unless they managed to reach immortality, they would all die in the end. She didn’t want to regret it in her heart.

Thinking about this, Su Su couldn’t help but become dazed. She was thinking about what their reunion would be like, and she wondered what cultivation level that block of wood was at and what he looked like after five years. During these five years, Su Su has been cultivating hard as the daughter of the sect head. She faced a great deal of pressure, but no matter how difficult the situation, whenever she thought of that block of wood, it wasn’t so difficult anymore.

Thinking of all kinds of things, Su Su revealed a smile. Her smile was happy, filled with an alluring luster.

According to the information Elder Yang had obtained, that block of wood had become the Chief Head Disciple of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect and had gone to participate in the Seven Holy Land Exchange not long ago. Based on the amount of time that had passed, he should have begun his training.?“Today should be the day he is coming to find me.”

Su Su’s heart was like a little fawn running all over the place. She was like a girl in love, easily lost in her thoughts, looking forward to Zhao Jiuge’s arrival.

Su Su blinked and muttered in her heart,?“That silly block of wood should be on time for our agreement.”

The spring breeze blew by the mountain and kicked up the corner of her long, black dress. The sun shined on her bright smile. At this moment, Su Su was very beautiful.
