“Huh?”
Having just left the Wuliang Jade Cave, Jiang Chen heard a clanging sound of fighting ahead.
Looking from afar, he saw several Wuliang Sword Sect disciples wielding swords, surrounding a young woman in white.
The woman in white had a sweet face and a petite figure, with a hint of mischief in her beautiful eyes.
On the woman's shoulder, a snow-white weasel, its fur like silk, was particularly eye-catching.
Zhong Ling?
Seeing the weasel, a name flashed through Jiang Chen's mind!
Though the white-clad woman was in a precarious situation, facing the siege of the Wuliang Sword Sect disciples, Jiang Chen didn't rush to intervene.
He knew that if this woman in white was indeed Zhong Ling, then with her lightning weasel, she could easily handle these Wuliang Sword Sect disciples.
As expected, when the white-clad woman was about to be overwhelmed, the weasel, with incredible speed, darted onto the Wuliang Sword Sect disciple and bit him.
Any Wuliang Sword Sect disciple bitten by the weasel instantly turned black, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground dead.
"Serves you right for bullying me!"
Though the Wuliang Sword Sect disciples were all poisoned to death by the weasel, the white-clad woman was still not satisfied. She kicked the corpse of a nearby Wuliang Sword Sect disciple.
"Who?"
At that moment, the white-clad woman looked up towards where Jiang Chen was hidden.
She found me?
Jiang Chen was taken aback!
The white-clad woman's cultivation was several realms lower than his, not to mention he was practicing a divine concealment technique. How could she have noticed him?
"How did you find me?" Jiang Chen walked out slowly, asking curiously.
Hearing Jiang Chen's surprise, the white-clad woman smiled smugly, her eyes glancing involuntarily at the weasel on her shoulder.
Jiang Chen instantly realized it wasn't the white-clad woman who had found him, but the lightning weasel on her shoulder. The reason the weasel could detect him was probably due to the animal's keen sense of smell.
The lightning weasel stared vigilantly at Jiang Chen. Its animal instinct told it that this young man in white was dangerous.
"Are you also a Wuliang Sword Sect disciple?"
The white-clad woman looked Jiang Chen up and down. Finding his handsome features and tall figure, she couldn't help but be moved.
"Do you think I am?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"No!"
The white-clad woman shook her head and said, "You aren't wearing Wuliang Sword Sect clothing, and you don't look like a bad person!"
Hearing the white-clad woman's words, Jiang Chen laughed out loud.
He never thought that this white-clad woman could judge him as not a bad person based solely on his appearance!
She's too naive!
"My name is Zhong Ling, what's your name?" the white-clad woman asked.
It is Zhong Ling indeed!
"Zhong Ling, such a beautiful name. From now on, I'll call you Ling'er!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile, "My name is Jiang Chen."
"Brother Jiang Chen, are you also here to watch the Wuliang Sword Sect Grand Tournament?" Zhong Ling asked.
Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Such a boring thing, what's there to watch!"
"The Wuliang Sword Sect Grand Tournament is held once every five years. You actually say it's boring?" Zhong Ling pouted and said.
"Even if you want to watch, it seems people wouldn't allow you to, huh?" Jiang Chen glanced at the corpses of the Wuliang Sword Sect disciples on the ground and smiled.
"Humph!"
Zhong Ling snorted and said, "They're just looking down on me!"
"If you want to go, I'll take you!" Jiang Chen said.
"Didn't you say it's boring?" Zhong Ling asked.
"It is quite boring!"
Jiang Chen changed his tune and said, "But it's pretty good to kill some time!"
"Then let's go together!"
Zhong Ling took out a handful of melon seeds from her bosom and asked, "Brother Jiang Chen, do you want some melon seeds?"
Jiang Chen took them and tasted one. The flavor was surprisingly good, with a faint rose scent in the melon seeds.
"Ling'er, did you make these melon seeds?" Jiang Chen asked.
"My mother made them. She soaked the melon seeds in rose water, then dried and roasted them. They taste amazing, I love them!" Zhong Ling said.
"Your mother?"
If Jiang Chen remembered correctly, Zhong Ling's mother should be the beautiful "Pretty Medicine Fork" Gan Bao Bao.
"Yeah, my mother is amazing. She can cook so many delicious things!"
Zhong Ling proudly praised her mother, and Jiang Chen listened quietly.
"Brother Jiang Chen, let's hurry up, the Wuliang Sword Sect Grand Tournament is about to start!" Zhong Ling looked at the sky and said.
"Okay!"
Jiang Chen nodded and headed towards the Wuliang Mountain Sword Lake Palace with Zhong Ling.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen stopped.
"Brother Jiang Chen, what's wrong?" Zhong Ling asked strangely.
"Ling'er, at our speed, by the time we reach the Wuliang Mountain Sword Lake Palace, the Wuliang Sword Sect Grand Tournament will probably be over!" Jiang Chen said.
"What should we do then?" Zhong Ling asked.
She knew what Jiang Chen was saying was right, but her footwork was limited, and she also had to be wary of the Wuliang Sword Sect disciples guarding the area. She couldn't go faster even if she wanted to!
Jiang Chen smiled, said nothing, and reached out to grab Zhong Ling's delicate waist.
"Brother Jiang Chen, you..."
Zhong Ling was about to speak, but realized that Jiang Chen was taking her through the forest at an incredible speed. The surrounding scenery blurred...
