The Villain Has Something to Say

Chapter 48: Look Back into the Past (2)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

This time, she sensed the firm determination from his words. She couldn’t bring herself to look at Luo’s face. Then, she heard a gentle laughter, which was just as appealing as it had always been over the past few decades. Luo Jianqing said, “Junior Sister, I have to tell you that I’m falling in love with someone now, and... he likes me too. Being in love is torturous. Like you, I used to think that love is a personal thing. If he couldn’t accept me, I would keep my feeling to myself and continue to love him in my own way, even if it death is the outcome.”

Mu Tianxin hold the ribbon tightly.

Luo Jianqing continued, “Junior Sister, you told me it would break your heart if I lie to you. But for me, if I don’t make it clear to you, I would be hurting you. What kind of brother would I be if that happens?”

Mu Tianxin lowered her head.

Luo Jianqing went on, “So, I want to tell you today that I know you like me. But I’m not the one for you in this life. Ordinary people can only live up to a hundred years, but a cultivator’s life can be boringly long. I could be your Senior Brother and hold your hand for a while, but nothing more.

The wind howled through peaks and blew across the surface of the sea, causing roaring waves.

After a long while, Mu Tianxin asked in a hoarse voice, “What’s she like? (in Chinese, the word “he” and “she” sound the same) How did you know her? Does she look prettier than me? Is she gentler than me? Does.. does she care more about you than I do?”

Luo Jianqing froze for a while and realized that his junior sister had mistaken him for a girl; however, he said nothing about it, and instead replied, “I don’t think he is prettier or gentler than you, but he cares about me.

I’m very sure of that. My little sister is the most beautiful girl in the entire Tai Hua Mountain, and no one in the world would dare hurt you. If there were, we would kill him.”

Mu Tianxin stayed silent for a while and then her shoulders started shaking slightly. Luo Jianqing looked down at her with gentle and pampering eyes.

After a while, Mu Tianxin suddenly burst into tears and stepped forward to hug Luo Jianqing. She held him tightly as if she wanted to remember what it felt like to hold him, and she simply wouldn’t let go.

Luo Jianqing didn’t stop her, and then he felt his shoulders gradually went wet.

Her aggrieving wailing echoed throughout the Qing Lan Peak. She was a proud, self-conscious girl, but right now she didn’t care how this would be perceived by others any more. She kept on crying, as if she wanted to drain off the love she had felt towards him over the past forty years and let it go with all the tears.

When the sun set, she gradually calmed down. She let go of his body and said in a hoarse voice, “Senior Brother, this is the first time, and also the last time.... Could you kiss me, please?”

Mu Tianxin looked up with tears on her face and watery eyes swollen like little peaches, which made her such a pitiful girl.

However, Luo Jianqing shook his head. He looked at his little sister and said, “Junior Sister, I like him, so I won’t kiss you, because you are my sister and I have fallen in love with him.”

Hearing that, Mu Tianxin raised her chin and made an unpleasant sound. Then she said without hesitation, “Humm, that’s more like it. That is my Senior Brother. That girl is so lucky. I’m so jealous about her. If she wants to be a member of Tai Hua Mountain, she should come to me first! Senior Brother, I’m telling you. If you want to marry that girl, I would prepare a big gift for you, but....she has to defeat me in a fight first.

Upon hearing that, Luo Jianqing laughed, “Are you sure? You want him to defeat you?”

Still thinking the one was a “she”, Mu Tianxin replied in a rather high-pitched voice, “Of course! Who am I? I’m Mu Tianxin of the Qing Lan Peak! If she dare hurt me, I would tell my master to kick her ass!”

After exchanging a few more words, Mu Tianxin turned around and left proudly. Her face was still glamorous as always, except for the tears and watery eyes. She was still the proud, dream girl of the Qing Lan Peak.

However, when Mu Tianxin walked to the end of the mountain road, she suddenly halted her steps and asked in a weak voice without looking back, “Senior Brother, when we played at the Beasts Park of the Yu Shou Peak thirty-five years ago, we were so happy that we completely lost track of the time. When it was getting dark outside, all the beasts started to snarl. Then you hold me and told me not to be afraid and you said that you would protect me forever. Senior Brother.... Do you remember that?”

Luo Jianqing lowered his eyes and whispered, “I do.”

Mu Tianxin froze upon hearing this reply.

Luo Jianqing closed his eyes and smiled, “My little sister, I will not allow you to be bullied by anyone. If anyone dares, he would have to kill me first before he can get to you. As your brother, I would make it my mission to protect you.”

Mu Tianxin stood at the end of the mountain road for a long time, then suddenly flew away with a slight tap of feet on the ground. She was like a burning fireball rushing into the forests. She left decisively without the least hesitation and disappeared in front of Luo Jianqing.

‘It’s better to solve things earlier.’

After gazing at the green Qing Lan Peak for a while, Luo Jianqing turned around and left with a sigh.

The competition of the Seven Peaks would be held in one year. He once challenged Xuan Lingzi and asked what he would do if he lost the competition. Maybe he got pissed off back then. He didn’t realize that Luo was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Among all the disciples of his age, only Luo Jianqing achieved this stage now. Absent of any capable competitor, he was the champion.

Even though Luo Jianqing had outmatched the younger generation of the Tai Hua Mountain and were even recognized as one of the top geniuses of the entire Xuan Tian Continent, he wanted more.

His goal had always been to surpass that person who had achieved Immortal Period. In order to do that, he would have to reach Immortal Period too!

Along the way from Qing Lan Peak back to Yu Xiao Peak, Luo Jianqing had thought about how to cultivate in the next year. He would go to Wan Shou Peak to accumulate his practical ability in the last few months and maybe he could get some precious treasures along the way. However, before he could think this through, he suddenly noticed that his bamboo house was in ruins.

Luo Jianqing: “...”

He looked around over and over.

Well, this was the right way. This was the right place.

So, this pile of bamboo and wood... Was this the bamboo house the one that he had lived in for decades? !

Luo Jianqing stepped forward and stooped down to pick up a piece of fractured bamboo. Then he examined it carefully. It was shattered by spiritual power. In fact, there was no need to check it at all. It was easily to be known that in the entire Xuan Tian Continent, except the horrible Demon Exalt and the Devil Exalt of the Mo Dao Palace, who else could destroy the bamboo house next to his door under Xuan Lingzi eyes.

Did the Demon Exalt come out in violation of the contract? No.

Did the Devil Exalt leave the Mo Dao Palace and sneak into Tai Hua Mountain? No.

So, who else could it be? It didn’t take a genius to figure out that his master, who had been provoked by him many times, was probably the perpetrator.

Curling up his lips, Luo Jianqing got up and dusted off his robe. With the green-edged white robe fluttering in the wind, a handsome cultivator calmly walked to the bamboo house beside. With slender and exquisite phoenix eyes looking down slightly, Luo Jianqing greeted respectfully and said calmly, “Master, my house was ruined. I don’t know where to stay tonight.”

It was dead silent in the bamboo house.

Luo Jianqing did not give up, but said, “Master, there are only you and me on Yu Xiao Peak. Today, I have been to a lot of places. I have talked with Fourth Brother about the Sects affairs, and then went to Qing Lan Peak to talk with Junior Sister. Now I’m exhausted. Please open the door, Master, so I could have a rest.”

The bamboo leaves swayed gently, but there was still no answer.

Upon seeing that, Luo Jianqing changed his facial expression and shouted, “Master, I don’t know who dared destroy my bamboo house, knowing that you, the top one cultivator in the world, the elder of the Tai Hua Mountain was around! It’s like a slap on the face for the Tai Hua Mountain and you! How could you tolerate this evil behavior? Master, I will catch that bad guy and bring him back to you, then....”

“Shut up.” The cold voice suddenly broke the air. It seemed calm and indifferent, but with a touch of obvious hatred. Xuan Lingzi lowered his voice and said word by word, “Luo Jianqing, since when have you become so...so rude!”

Luo Jianqing couldn’t help but laugh.
