Chapter 714: Trash Since Young
Ling Chuxi nodded. Even with the various great sects working together, the Blood Beast Sect had managed to survive without being annihilated, so it must still be very proud. A simple thought would reveal how strong their cultivation was. How could she dare be careless?
“Alright, it’s getting late, let’s go back and rest.” Ling Chuxi went over to Ling Yichen’s side and used her golden needles to help him seal the meridian networks that were injured, and then gave him a pill to take. Ling Yichen’s face slowly regained its color.
“Aren’t you going to ask me about my background?” Jiang Wuhen scratched his head, feeling perplexed.
“You surely have your own reasons for not telling us, so why is there a need for me to ask about it? I know that you’re our friend, and that’s enough for me.” Ling Chuxi smiled. Everyone had their own secrets. If they were friends, then they ought to respect each other.
“Also, thanks for just now,” Ling Chuxi said to Jiang Wuhen. When she arrived, she saw Jiang Wuhen protecting Ling Yichen, and noticing the injury on his thigh, she could roughly guess what had happened.
“We are friends.” Jiang Wuhen laughed good-naturedly. “Actually, it’s not much of a secret. I am the legitimate second young master of the Clear Wind Sect’s Feng family. They consider me a waste of space, so since young, I was just seen as a tool for a martial alliance through marriage with the Cyan Water Sect’s Gao family. After that, I ran away. It’s that simple.”
After he finished speaking, Jiang Wuhen waved his hand dismissively and then calmly left. The faint smile on his face remained, but that somewhat skinny figure looked lonely as it disappeared into the distance.
No matter how indifferent and carefree he appeared to be, Ling Chuxi could feel the turbulence in his heart. She could empathize with him.
She had been born in a clan, and in those ten plus years of muddle-headedness, she had also been viewed as trash, and was constantly mocked and bullied. If her soul hadn’t returned through transmigration, she would have been just like Jiang Wuhen, treated as an object to build alliances and married off to a complete stranger. Of course, due to the fact that the second elder had intentionally hidden her true countenance, it could be reckoned that the person she would have been married off to would not have had much of a better fate either.
Jiang Wuhen’s fate was so similar to hers, but he was a little worse off. Marrying into the bride’s family was no doubt the greatest humiliation for a man in this world.
It was no wonder he escaped the Clear Wind Sect and changed his name to Jiang Wuhen. It was obvious that he no longer had any love left for the Clear Wind Sect.
Seeing Jiang Wuhen’s back that was slowly disappearing from sight, Ling Chuxi knew that he had explained everything so casually not because it didn’t affect him, but because he trusted her and Ling Yichen completely.
“Yichen, congratulations! You have also been promoted to the realm of True Essence.” Only when Jiang Wuhen had gone, did Ling Chuxi speak to Ling Yichen.
“Chuxi…” Ling Yichen gazed at Ling Chuxi intently. Experiencing that breakthrough in that moment of life and death, under the artistic conception of that Vast Sea Wide Sky, his heart had also changed subtly. He suddenly saw the light and was no longer like the past, worrying about getting things or losing them. However, some words were still too difficult to be spoken aloud.
“What’s wrong?” Ling Chuxi asked him slowly, feeling like something was off. The Ling Yichen who had broken through seemed a little different.
Ling Yichen looked like he wanted to say something but kept faltering. Finally, he just stared at Chuxi and said softly, “Chuxi, I can stand by your side again…”
Ling Chuxi was still a bit dazed from earlier, and before Ling Yichen could finish speaking, they were interrupted by a few voices in the distance.
“Chuxi, Yichen… What happened?” At that moment, Baili Han, Fu Chengyu and the others rushed over.
“Nothing. I broke through,” Ling Yichen finally said with a smile.
