Chapter 1169 - 1172: Crisis at Feixue Castle

"We're still not qualified to follow by Mr. Bai's side. Right now we just want to stay in the Association and focus on cultivation. If the Association ever needs us, we'll absolutely step up without hesitation!"

Qing Feng cupped his fists to Bai Lang and slowly explained.

There wasn't anything wrong with those words on the surface, but everyone still felt a hint of bitterness listening to them. Why did Qing Feng and the other two feel so damn miserable right now?

"I can understand Daoist Qing Feng and Daoist Five Poisons joining. But Xue Han… what about you? Your hatred… have you let it go?" Bai Lang showed he understood Qing Feng's explanation.

Although the three of them were already Seventh Grade experts, they still weren't qualified to follow at Yun Hao's side. And this "not qualified" didn't just refer to strength—whenever the three of them faced Yun Hao, more or less, they'd feel inferior.

Just like Bai Lang said, he could understand Qing Feng and Five Poisons joining the Association—but Xue Han?

This woman who wanted nothing more than to kill Yun Hao, to kill Yun Hao's mother, to claim Yun Shiyi for herself, a woman completely controlled by hatred?

Was she really sincere about joining the Association?

Had all that hatred in her heart really completely dissipated?

Bai Lang didn't believe it. Love for someone doesn't need a reason, but hatred definitely does. You can't just walk down the street, randomly see someone, and for no reason at all start hating them, right?

If that really happened, odds are there's something wrong with that person's head.

And once hatred for someone has taken root, it's really hard to erase—especially Xue Han's hatred toward Yun Hao's mother; it ran that deep.

After hearing Bai Lang's words, everyone turned their eyes to Xue Han, wanting to see how she would answer.

"My hatred for Long Han'Er is something you can't understand. Since you asked, I'll tell you this: if I see her again, I will still kill her!" Xue Han locked her beautiful eyes on Bai Lang and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Then the Association does not welcome you." Bai Lang didn't seem the least bit surprised by Xue Han's answer. After hearing her, he slowly shook his head and declared firmly.

"Since you don't welcome me, I'll leave. But I have something to tell you—I'll be back to kill." Xue Han let out a cold snort, then turned around and left in anger.

Watching Xue Han's departing back, Gao Zhishang grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Mad, that woman's heart is pitch black. Rat wasted effort guiding their cultivation, and she still wants to kill Sister Long? Shameless!"

"If she said she no longer wanted to kill Yun Hao's mother, that would be the weird part. The grudge between them back then isn't something we can meddle in. Yun Shiyi will definitely step in anyway."

Bai Lang rolled his eyes at Gao Zhishang and spoke slowly.

"Tch, like you know everything." Gao Zhishang wasn't convinced.

When Yun Hao brought Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi back to the villa, Su Qiao was sprawled out on the sofa, bored out of her mind, reading a book.

With the three of them gone for two days, Su Qiao was basically bored to death.

Smack!

Just as she was completely absorbed in her book, Su Qiao suddenly felt a slap land on her butt. She instinctively turned and slapped back, her movement fast and fierce.

But the moment she struck, Yun Hao had already subdued her.

"Brother Hao…" Once Su Qiao saw it was Yun Hao, she immediately threw herself into his arms, not caring that she was only wearing a nightdress.

Feeling the soft body in his arms, Yun Hao gently patted her little head with a pampering touch.

After Yun Hao and the others came home, the villa was lively again. Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi also resumed their previous work—one sitting in town at Prosperous International, the other at Yunteng Hotel.

Now both women were already Peak of Sixth Grade experts. Add in the White Jade Fox, a Seventh Grade-level expert, serving as their bodyguard, and you could say they were safe not only in Nanjiang City, but anywhere in all of Huaxia.

Plus, with their strength, if any danger cropped up, they would have enough time to inform Yun Hao.

Now that he'd reached Eighth Grade Martial Artist level, and with his comprehension of the Space Law and Starry Sky Law, as long as it was within Huaxia's borders, Yun Hao was confident he could rush there at the first possible moment.

In other words, with Yun Hao's current cultivation, he basically had the ability to Instant Teleport at any time—though compared to those real big shots, his teleportation still had a certain gap.

When Yun Hao comprehended the Space Law, he had already sensed that many powerhouses who had pushed the Space Law to its limits could break through the restrictions of space itself when they Instant Teleported.

Over the next few days, during the day, since Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi went to the company, only Yun Hao and Su Qiao were left in the villa. Even A Yun had been sent out by Yun Hao—to protect Tang Rou.

So, with no one else around, Yun Hao and Su Qiao could practically be said to be "fighting" around the clock, which made Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi, when they came home at night, insanely jealous.

That noon, after yet another fierce "battle" with Su Qiao, Yun Hao looked at Su Qiao, limp and draped over his body, and felt nothing but tenderness. His big hand basically never stopped roaming over her.

Tang Rou's call came in. After answering, Yun Hao lightly patted Su Qiao's butt, signaling her to go shower and get dressed.

"I remember you told me to keep a close eye on Feixue Castle's movements. Well, there's a problem now. An external force has joined up with Saffron Gate and some other sects and they're heading straight for Feixue Castle!"

Just after Su Qiao had changed and come out, Tang Rou rushed in like a whirlwind and reported what she'd found to Yun Hao.

"External force?" Yun Hao frowned slightly and looked at Tang Rou in confusion.

"Yeah, two factions—one from France, the other from Africa." Tang Rou nodded.

"Take me over to have a look. The new Fortress Master of Feixue Castle is connected to me." Yun Hao said to Tang Rou, then turned to remind Su Qiao to stay home and behave; he'd deal with this and come back.

Who knew Su Qiao would just shake her head, hug his arm, and say in a sweet voice, "Brother Hao, I want to go with you too, okay? I'm at Sixth Grade now, I won't drag you down. I don't want to stay home alone, it's so boring!"

"Then go change into a pair of pants like what Little Rou's wearing. Otherwise it'll be really inconvenient if we go into the deep mountains." Yun Hao glanced at Su Qiao's long dress and spoke softly.

"Okay, got it, I'll go right now!" Su Qiao replied excitedly, then turned and hopped back to her room.

Yun Hao had no objection to Su Qiao going with them. Just like she said, if he left her at home alone, with Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi both at the company during the day, she'd definitely be bored out of her mind.
