Intertwined Fate

Chapter 7

With Xiao Qinghua's words, everyone immediately got into position.

Seeing that Wei Wuxian didn't have a sword, her eyes were filled with worry. If anything happened to Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji would really go wild. Quietly, she drew a talisman in the air and threw it at Wei Wuxian, her actions unnoticed by anyone.

As the first walking corpses entered their views, they immediately began fighting.

Xiao Qinghua focused on her own while the others helped each other out. Xiao Qinghua didn't struggle as she was use to going on missions alone, and being personally trained by Xiǎo Xīngchén and Song Zichen did a lot. Xiǎo Xīngchén was a great teacher, but going through Song Zichen's personal lessons were like going through death. That's why over the years, she became such a strong cultivator around the sects, but because she rarely went out, not many could recognize her.

"There's more walking corpses heading our way, everyone, be careful!" Xiao Qinghua stabbed the walking corpse in front of her, jumping into the air as she felt an attack from behind her. As she looked down towards where she was standing, a walking corpse stood, and she sliced through the air, her attack cutting off the walking corpse.

Suddenly, feeling a strong dark energy, Xiao Qinghua looked around. She saw Jin Ling fighting against a corpse but that wasn't what made her shocked. It was the fact that the corpse Jin Ling was fighting was a fierce corpse.

Jin Ling's sword was knocked down to the ground, not knowing what to do until he saw a flash of light and someone pushed him away from the corpse.

Xiao Qinghua felt a rip on the surface of her left arm, blood immediately dripping from it. Grimacing from the pain, she kicked away the fierce corpse, with her sword, she fought against the corpse, but it was highly alert and dodged her attacks.

The sound of the guqin made Xiao Qinghua confused before she realized that it was just Lan Wangji. The corpse froze, unable to move and she took that chance to attack the corpse before it broke free from Lan Wangji.

Feeling Xuanhan stab through the corpse's already dead heart, Xiao Qinghua finally breathed with relief. As she pulled out her sword, the corpse's body fell to the ground, and she noticed that around her, there weren't anymore corpses.

Lan Wangji must've dealt with the rest of the corpses already.

Xiao Qinghua walked over to Jin Ling, who was still in the ground. With a smile on her face, she asked, "Young master Jin, are you alright?"

Jin Ling was still in shock, but at last, he stood up, cupping his hands as he replied, "Thank you, Miss."

"No problem, it's a good thing that you aren't hurt." Xiao Qinghua said, shaking her head, as she put away her sword and covered her bleeding arm with her hand.

Just then a thundering roar came from the distance.

"Jin Ling!"

Xiao Qinghua already knew who it was and couldn't help but mentally sigh.

Seeing the expression on Wei Wuxian's face, she walked over to him, keeping a good look at Lan Wangji's face.

"Young Master Wei, should I call you by your body's name instead of your real name?" Xiao Qinghua whispered into Wei Wuxian's ear.

"Yes, that would be better. After all, not a lot of people know about my identity yet, and I certainly do not want Jiang Cheng to find out." Wei Wuxian smiled brightly, and Xiao Qinghua smiled in return.

Just then, Xiao Qinghua saw the expression on Lan Wangji's face darken and she couldn't help but laugh. For some reason, she wanted to provoke him even more.
