Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Fulfill Him, Give Him a Sword Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Fulfill Him, Give Him a Sword “Cough, cough, cough…” Wang Chengjian bit his tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said, “Junior Sister…you…are so heartless…”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxian felt her heart being pricked by needles.

The three outer sect disciples couldn’t stand it anymore either.

“Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Wang’s life isn’t worth a single word from you?”

“He saved your life, yet you can’t even grant him this small dying wish!”

“He’s almost dead, what harm is there in agreeing? It’s not like you’ll really have to fulfill it!”

Liu Qingxian’s mind was in turmoil from their words.

She even began to wonder if she was being too cold-blooded.

Wang Chengjian’s heart was filled with hope.

He could feel that Liu Qingxian’s defenses were about to waver, and she was close to compromising.

So, he bit his tongue again, spat out a mouthful of blood, and showed an appearance of serious injury.

He weakly looked up at the sky and said, “I…can’t die in peace…”

Liu Qingxian felt immense guilt.

Just as her inner defenses were about to crumble again.

Several agile figures swiftly jumped down.

Leading them was Jiang Fan.

“Senior Sister?” Seeing Liu Qingxian unharmed, Jiang Fan’s heart finally settled.

Although he had guessed that Liu Qingxian was not dead.

Whether she was injured or had any physical impairments, those were unknowns.

Seeing her completely unscathed, he was truly relieved.

Hmm?

Liu Qingxian thought she was hallucinating.

Did she just hear Jiang Fan’s voice?

She turned her head in confusion to look.

As soon as she saw, her gaze froze completely.

A handsome face that she had missed immensely but was also afraid to see came into view.

Ever since the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion auction,

She had impulsively kissed Jiang Fan, and since then, she felt too embarrassed to see him.

To the extent that she didn’t dare to show up at the Nine Peaks competition.

However, being trapped here for ten days, she gradually regretted it.

The path of a martial artist is dangerous, and falling is something that can happen at any time.

Some feelings, if left unspoken, might never get the chance to be expressed in a lifetime.

So.

Seeing this face all of a sudden, she couldn’t help herself.

She immediately threw herself into Jiang Fan’s arms, tightly wrapping her snow-white arms around his neck, burying her entire body into his embrace.

These days, she had always shown herself as the calm, rational, and strong-willed team leader.

But now, it was as if she had returned to being beside her pillar of support.

She displayed her most vulnerable side.

She lay in his arms and cried pitifully, “Why did you come so late?”

“I thought I would never see you again!”

“Waaah~”

The three outer sect disciples were dumbfounded.

These days, even when Liu Qingxian was severely injured, she didn’t frown.

She was tougher than the male disciples.

But now, she seemed so fragile?

What made them feel even more sympathy was Wang Chengjian.

For Liu Qingxian, Wang Chengjian was almost dead, yet Liu Qingxian didn’t shed a single tear for him.

Jiang Fan merely showed up, and Liu Qingxian was throwing herself into his arms and crying.

This difference between people.

Sometimes, it’s even greater than the difference between humans and dogs.

Wang Chengjian was so angry he spat blood, cursing Jiang Fan’s ancestors for eighteen generations.

Not sooner, not later.

He just had to come at this moment!

He didn’t believe that his ruse of self-harm couldn’t rival Jiang Fan’s mere appearance!

“Ah…it hurts so much…Junior Sister, just kill me with your sword…” Wang Chengjian pretended to be in great pain.

Liu Qingxian then remembered there was still someone lying on the ground.

She quickly stopped her tears, looking guilty, and said, “Fan, Senior Brother Wang just saved me by blocking a deadly poison.”

“Now…he’s dying…”

Deadly poison?

Jiang Fan recalled that this was a very potent poison.

Even more terrifying than the venom of the Seven-Colored Poison Toad.

But looking at Wang Chengjian, his body showed no signs of frostbite, nor did he exhibit the typical symptoms of poisoning.

He quietly used the Qi Observation Technique.

To see the truth within.

He saw that Wang Chengjian’s blood flow was smooth and healthy.

Not even a hint of poisoning.

He couldn’t help but be puzzled: “Senior Sister, are you sure he’s been poisoned?”

Liu Qingxian, concerned and confused, hadn’t thought deeply and nodded.

Thinking briefly, she didn’t conceal Wang Chengjian’s earlier request.

She didn’t want to deceive Jiang Fan.

Not at all.

“Senior Brother Wang’s dying wish is…for me to agree to marry him…”

She quickly added.

“But I didn’t agree!”

Jiang Fan suddenly understood.

So, it was a ruse to fake illness and morally coerce Liu Qingxian into agreeing to the marriage.

This way, once outside, he could use it as an excuse to forcefully marry Liu Qingxian.

Senior Brother had really turned bad during a trip outside.

He didn’t reveal the truth and asked Liu Qingxian, “Do you want to agree?”

Before Jiang Fan arrived, she might have had a slight chance of being persuaded.

But lying in Jiang Fan’s arms now, she replied firmly and without hesitation, “Impossible.”

“I can repay him with my life, but I won’t stake my honor to repay a debt.”

After a pause.

She gazed deeply at Jiang Fan in front of her, gathered her courage, and said, “I only want to marry Fan.”

Ten days of despair had made her see things clearly.

Some words, if left unsaid, might never be said.

Eh—

The three outer sect disciples were stunned.

Did they hear something incredible?

Liu Qingxian, the number one beauty of the Nine-Sect, was spoken for?

Jiang Fan remained relatively calm.

Although Liu Qingxian had never expressed her feelings, Jiang Fan wasn’t made of wood.

In small hints, how could he not understand Liu Qingxian’s feelings?

He just hadn’t expected that she would break this unspoken tension.

Jiang Fan didn’t say much, just wrapped his arm around her waist.

Sometimes, silence spoke louder than words.

Liu Qingxian’s face turned red, her eyes filled with shyness and joy.

However, an angry voice disrupted the atmosphere.

“Junior Sister Liu…you…you’re going to treat me so heartlessly?”

Wang Chengjian was infuriated.

He pretended to suffer miserably to win Liu Qingxian’s agreement to the marriage.

Jiang Fan did nothing, yet Liu Qingxian willingly wanted to marry him.

This comparison, this disparity.

It completely broke him!

Liu Qingxian snapped back to reality and quickly asked Jiang Fan, “Junior Brother, do you have a Revitalizing Pill?”

The previous bottle was given to her by Jiang Fan back then.

Now, only the Revitalizing Pill could save Wang Chengjian.

Jiang Fan shrugged, “I used mine up long ago.”

Liu Qingxian looked helpless: “What should I do?”

“Senior Brother is in this state because of me.”

Jiang Fan drew the Sorrow Frost Sword from his back, placing it in her palm, and said:

“Senior Sister, Senior Brother Wang is in so much pain.”

“Grant his wish from earlier and end his life to spare him more pain.”

“Every year during the Qingming Festival, I’ll burn more paper offerings for him.”

“I’ll never forget his life-saving grace to you.”

Huh?

The three outer sect disciples were stunned.

Isn’t this too heartless?

How could Liu Qingxian possibly agree?

“Is this…is this okay?” Liu Qingxian hesitated.

Jiang Fan said, “So soon you stop listening to me?”

Liu Qingxian, afraid of angering Jiang Fan, quickly said, “I’ll listen, I’ll listen to you!”

Then she gripped the sword and walked towards Wang Chengjian, saying, “Senior Brother Wang, the pain from the poison is ten times worse than from a sword.”

“I’ll end it with one sword, sparing you more pain.”

“Don’t worry, Fan is kind-hearted, he’ll remember your grace to me and burn paper offerings for you properly!”

With that, she thrust the sword forward.

Wang Chengjian was utterly furious!

Jiang Fan, you damn bastard!

With just a few words, you tamed Liu Qingxian, who’s proud as a peacock, to obediently follow your lead!

Seeing the blade approaching, how could he continue pretending?

He swiftly rolled away, narrowly avoiding the sword.

Huh?

Liu Qingxian was stunned.

The three outer sect disciples also widened their eyes.
