A Typical Reincarnation

Chapter 56 - Acting Like a Rogue!

Xu Qi was hidden in the darkness, watching as everything unfolded right before his eyes. He was speechless at what had just happened, thinking, Oh gods, what the hells is going on? Ambushes and killings are being carried out on a whim. Earlier, that girl surnamed Di sounded so gentle; she didn't seem like a baddie in the least. Not to mention, she saved the life of Shui Qingyu. Why would she backstab the Di girl?

Just as Xu Qi was crying out in injustice for the girl surnamed Di on the ground, Shui Qingyu slowly pulled out the sword from her chest and muttered, "Don't blame me, Junior Disciple Di, blame it on your luck instead; you saw something you shouldn't have. I have no choice but to wrong you."

When Shui Qingyu was done speaking, she retracted her longsword and staggered away, exiting the forest.

Xu Qi waited for some time after Shui Qingyu left, and scanned his surroundings. After confirming there was no one around, he leapt out from his hiding spot to the young lady lying on the ground. Xu Qi placed his hand on her wrist to feel her pulse.

Hmm? Her heart was impaled and yet she's not dead! What a miracle; let me see what you look like before deciding whether to save you, Xu Qi thought inwardly. He was still able to have such bizarre thoughts when faced with a frail lady struggling between life and death; what a hopeless bastard.

Xu Qi slowly moved his hand to the girl's face and removed the white veil filled with blood stains covering her face. After taking it off, an outstandingly delicate face was revealed. Tears were rolling in her tightly shut eyes; perhaps it was the immense grief of her fellow sister disciple's betrayal. Xu Qi was dumbstruck at the sight of her.

Oh, my, god, what a pretty lady! From the looks of it, she shouldn't be much older than I am. If I could make her into my future… Hehe, that's it. I'll take her away! Xu Qi decided to save this girl no matter what. It would be best if she were to become his child bride. Though, fantasizing aside, he had to stop her bleeding quickly!

Xu Qi looked at the devastated surroundings. The trees nearby were all destroyed during Shui Qingyu and Yi Jiu's battle. After thinking about it, Xu Qi flipped his palm to summon the All-Tempering Flames to burn down this area. He didn't wish to leave any trace of himself behind.

After setting the area ablaze, Xu Qi shifted his gaze to the injured young woman. His size might be small, but his strength as a cultivator wasn't just for show. He easily lifted her off the ground and flew cautiously toward Godsward Villa. There was only one thought in his mind - to save this beauty's life! He didn't care about committing arson in the least. There would be others coming over anyway, he would leave extinguishing the flames to them. Doing good without leaving a trace was his plan.

Not long after Xu Qi left, about a dozen white silhouettes arrived at the fire caused by Xu Qi, one after another. From their clothes, they looked to be Shui Qingyu and the Di girl's comrades from the Misty Tower. The injured Shui Qingyu was among them, supported by others.

A middle-aged lady who looked to be the leader of the group watched as the fire burned. She brandished her sword and shouted, "Torrential Water Wave!" A streak of faint red aura shot from her sword. Right as it came into contact with the flames, the aura instantly turned into a heavy downpour covering the entire area, quickly extinguishing the forest fire.

If Xu Qi was still in the vicinity, he would have definitely run away in fear after witnessing this scene. From the middle-aged lady's aura alone, one could tell she was a cultivator who had advanced into Void realm. The aura she projected was a faint red in color!
