Chapter 665: Chapter 367

Hearing Zhu Shanying say that her Grandpa Bamboo rather liked him, Xue Jing thought, that might not be the case.

The Forgotten Greatsword and Night Ice were indeed top treasures for any Martial Artist, and Grandpa Bamboo had been quite generous to him.

But that didn’t mean the other party liked him.

Previously, when Xue Jing was about to enter the arena and face Zhou Yinglin, Grandpa Bamboo had not only sent over the Forgotten Greatsword but had also arranged for Phoenix Cry School Wei Junwu to provide him with all sorts of strange help.

He had made public Zhou Yinglin’s intention to kill him on the platform and even directly hinted that the enormous and heavy strikes of the Forgotten Greatsword were the method to break through the Impeccable technique.

Although it seemed like he was being helped on the surface, Xue Jing just felt it odd, more like being forced to prove himself.

Any young person with a bit of ambition would feel uncomfortable with such a ‘victory that was arranged for them.’

If it really was pure help, Xue Jing didn’t quite believe that someone who had once steered a great family safely through an era would act so crudely.

Whether this was a test or he bore some degree of malice toward him, Xue Jing was still unclear.

However, it was certain that the feelings Grandpa Bamboo held for him were definitely not just simple admiration or fondness.

“Right, Sister Zhu, there’s something I need to apologize for,” Xue Jing suddenly remembered something and spoke up.

“The ‘Crouching Rabbit’ you gave me, is no longer…”

Xue Jing explained the reason for Crouching Rabbit’s shattering.

After Zhu Shanying listened, she nodded her head, her eyes shining:

“So that’s it, so the move ‘Cherry Full Moon’ came to be after the Crouching Rabbit sacrificed itself… the technique of the Ultimate Skills swordplay…”

“This means that Crouching Rabbit wasn’t lost by you, Junior Brother, so there’s no need for apologies. Instead, I feel very happy.”

“To be able to transform into such a beautiful technique and stay with you forever, Crouching Rabbit must be delighted.”

Xue Jing nodded, “As long as Sister doesn’t mind, it’s good.”

“I’ve always been paying attention to junior brother, although I was caught and taken back to the Capital City, I haven’t missed any of your live competition broadcasts or other news. Oh right, I also joined a fan club of yours; the chairman’s ID is [My Foolish Edamame]…”

Zhu Shanying chatted pleasantly with Xue Jing, and the time silently passed by.

Thirty minutes quickly went by.

Xue Jing walked her down the stairs and came to the entrance of the hotel.

The bodyguards whom Xue Jing had knocked out previously, since he hadn’t been too harsh, were now awake and seemed to be making calls to report their young miss’s disappearance, their faces full of panic.

Seeing Zhu Shanying emerge from the hotel, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but their eyes shifted to Xue Jing, who accompanied her out, still vigilant and sweating profusely.

This teenager… was indeed terrifying, worthy of being the figure who had recently caused a great stir in the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace.

Could that Outer Ring rural area really be some kind of Dragon Prosperity Land? An obscurity of a small sect had actually nurtured such a genius.

“Time flies too quickly, it feels like it ended in the blink of an eye,” Zhu Shanying muttered with a bit of complaint.

“But it’s so great to see Junior Brother. I had to work hard for a long time to fight for this opportunity.”

The two naturally approached the unidentified brand of the black luxury car, and the bodyguards, although constantly watching Xue Jing cautiously, didn’t dare to make any other moves.

One of the female bodyguards opened the car’s backseat to let Zhu Shanying sit in.

“Junior Brother, wait a minute,” Zhu Shanying rummaged through the spacious interior of the car for a bit, and quickly took out a weapon… or perhaps something that resembled both a spear and an arrow.

The spear-like and arrow-like weapon was about one meter three in length, with a body covered in gold, shimmering with a faint glow, exuding a sacred and majestic aura.

Zhu Shanying handed it to Xue Jing with a smile:

“Junior Brother, for you, I sneaked this out from Grandpa’s collection room. It should be very useful to you.”

Xue Jing’s gaze flickered slightly as he reached out to receive the golden ‘spear-arrow.’

As expected, a prompt immediately appeared.

[Divine Substance detected, absorbing Divinity…]

It was a Divine Relic.

“I don’t understand it very clearly, but I’ve heard Grandpa mention a long time ago that this thing is called ‘Divine Ascension’… It’s said to be something many people dream of, that can be used to break through bottlenecks and limits… But he also said it’s very dangerous to use, so you should be careful if you decide to use it, junior brother,” Zhu Shanying added.

Xue Jing was moved upon hearing this, his eyes narrowed slightly, “I understand, thank you, Sister Zhu.”

He had already recognized what this thing was.

GOD-251*Divine Ascension.

A Divine Relic ranked in the top three hundred.

Indeed, it was a grand gift… The effects of this thing were extraordinary.

Zhu Shanying sat in the car, the door still open, her expression softened.

After a long while, she softly spoke up:

“Junior Brother, if one day in the future, I find myself trapped and I cry out loudly, can you hear me and rush over to rescue me?”

Hearing this, Xue Jing laughed and said,

“As long as you scream loudly enough.”

Zhu Shanying froze for a moment, then laughed happily, her clear and youthful voice incredibly endearing.

After laughing for a good while, she finally said,

“Goodbye, Junior Brother.”

…

The last words spoken by Sister Zhu before leaving did not evoke much thought in Xue Jing.

Although she clearly had many troubles, concerning her own freedom, the marriage alliance between the major and minor branches of the Zhu Family, and so on… all these problems were, after all, goals Xue Jing had already decided to resolve.
