Chapter 135: Will You Come Out on Your Own, or Shall I Beat You Out?

Su Qing couldn’t help but say, “My master has me to protect her; there’s no need for you to worry, young sir.”

Why was this person still asking where her master lived? He was really getting more and more brazen.

Unexpectedly, this young man, who appeared quite decent, actually intended to abduct her master.

Ji Tianxin herself didn’t understand why everyone seemed so concerned about her being kidnapped.

Could it be that she really looked so naïve and easy to deceive?

Strange.

“No need. They won’t be able to take away Shiyue,” Ji Tianxin replied slowly and deliberately, refusing Si Han’s suggestion word by word.

Si Han guessed that the master and servant probably thought ill of his intentions, so he didn’t press the matter.

With a servant who had reached the pinnacle of the Marrow Cleansing stage present, it seemed little Tianxin wouldn’t be in any danger for now.

Besides, there was also a sixth-rank fierce beast by her side.

“Alright then, but you must go home early,” Si Han reminded her once more. “This place isn’t suitable for lingering. Go back and be with your family.”

Ji Tianxin nodded. “Okay.”

Although she didn’t quite understand why he kept telling her to return home early, she did intend to go back to the General’s Mansion.

In the end, Si Han escorted Ji Tianxin out of the forest before bidding them farewell.

But when parting, he was reluctant to leave. If it weren’t for Su Qing holding him back, he might have tried to embrace Ji Tianxin.

Unable to do so, he left with a hint of regret.

“Master, that young sir is from the Snow Domain. I fear his status is not low,” Su Qing said, her ability to read people evident as she immediately recognized that the young man was no ordinary youth.

“Snow Domain,” Su Qing murmured, clutching a jade pendant in her hand. The pendant was infused with spiritual energy, its pattern a snowflake.

She remembered that not long ago, she had been told about it.

The Snow Domain was one of the four great powers of the Tianwu Continent.

Martial artists reigned supreme there.

“Yes, it is said that the Snow Domain is covered in endless white snow, with most of the year enveloped in ice and cold. Though harsh, it is breathtakingly beautiful,” Su Qing said with a trace of yearning.

Ji Tianxin put away the pendant and gave a faint smile. “If there’s a chance, I’ll go see it.”

Su Qing couldn’t help but be excited. “That would be wonderful!”

Shortly after the two left the forest, Ji Tianxin suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Su Qing’s expression tightened as she scanned their surroundings warily.

“Was it you who forced me out, or did you come out on your own?” Ji Tianxin’s voice was soft and lacked any menace, yet it made those hiding in the shadows shudder.

“Heh heh heh... Miss Ji, if you have something to say, why resort to violence?” a chuckling, aged voice rang out.

Immediately, two elderly men who appeared to be past fifty stepped into view before Ji Tianxin.

Su Qing recognized them. Weren’t these the two elders from the Wind Command Academy?

Her whole body tensed as she stared coldly at them.

Ji Tianxin’s gaze was indifferent, and her tender, gentle voice was laced with coolness as she said, “If I can beat you, why should I bother reasoning?”

The two elders were momentarily speechless, unable to retort against such a blunt and irrefutable statement.

Especially Elder Du, who vividly remembered being gravely injured by this little girl just the day before.

Naturally, they hadn’t forgotten the kick they received before that either.

Their faces showed a mix of displeasure and embarrassment.

Indeed, if she could defeat them, why waste words?

And judging by the tone of the young girl, she clearly disliked idle chatter and was too lazy to argue.

What they didn’t realize was that unless absolutely necessary, Ji Tianxin was too indifferent even to raise a hand.
