Chapter 684: Shen Liang’s Return

Bai Xueqing sat quietly within her cultivation chamber.

The entire room had turned into ice due to her cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Xueqing slowly opened her eyes.

She had already reached the Mid Void Refinement Stage, but she was still far from reaching the Top Void Refinement Realm.

Many elders had spent hundreds of years cultivating, yet their cultivation was no higher than hers.

Even her own master, Qinglan, was only one minor realm ahead of her.

Still, despite possessing such strength, Bai Xueqing had never once acted arrogantly within the Heaven Sword Sect.

She still respected Qinglan as her master.

She still addressed the elders politely.

She still fulfilled her responsibilities as a disciple.

Knock! Knock!

A gentle knock sounded from outside the chamber.

Bai Xueqing withdrew her aura before calmly speaking.

”Come in!”

The frozen door was forcefully pushed open.

Otherwise, opening it normally would have been impossible. The disciple had to shatter the thick layer of ice before finally entering.

The disciple respectfully bowed.

”Senior Sister Bai, Peak Master Qinglan requests your presence.”

Bai Xueqing nodded.

”I understand.”

Without asking any further questions, she rose to her feet and followed the disciple toward Qinglan’s residence.

Along the way, however, a trace of curiosity surfaced in her heart.

Master rarely summoned her during cultivation.

Could something important have happened?

The answer revealed itself soon enough.

Upon arriving at Qinglan’s courtyard, Bai Xueqing immediately noticed another person standing beside her master.

The moment she saw him, the warmth in her eyes instantly disappeared.

Her expression turned icy.

Shen Liang!

(Of all people... Why was he here?)

Suppressing the disgust in her heart, Bai Xueqing ignored him completely.

Instead, she respectfully bowed toward Qinglan.

”Disciple greets Master.”

Qinglan smiled gently.

”You may rise!”

As she looked at Bai Xueqing, a complicated emotion flashed across her eyes.

She might be Bai Xueqing’s master, but in terms of cultivation and perhaps even combat ability, she wasn’t much stronger than this disciple of hers.

She knew Bai Xueqing was talented and had taught her well, but she had never expected her to catch up in only a few short years.

Even in the Central Glorious Continent, Qinglan was certain there was no one as talented as Bai Xueqing.

She was equally certain that any top faction there would accept Bai Xueqing as their Saintess.

Anyway, the reason for calling Bai Xueqing was because the young master of the Shen Clan remained unbelievably persistent.

Even today, despite her refusal, he insisted on meeting Bai Xueqing.

Eventually, Qinglan had no choice but to summon her disciple.

She sighed softly.

”Xueqing, I know you don’t wish to see him. I tried refusing him, but he insisted. He said he only wished to speak with you this once and won’t pester you again.”

Bai Xueqing’s expression remained indifferent.

Only after Qinglan finished speaking did she slowly turn toward Shen Liang.

Her gaze was cold.

So cold that it carried not even the slightest warmth.

It was as though she were looking at a complete stranger.

No. Not even a stranger.

Someone beneath her notice.

”What do you want?”

Her voice was equally cold.

Without the slightest trace of politeness.

The only reason she was even willing to stand here and listen was because Qinglan had asked her to.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spared Shen Liang even a single glance.

In stark contrast to Bai Xueqing’s indifference, Shen Liang’s eyes lit up the moment he saw her.

There wasn’t the slightest trace of resentment on his face.

Instead, he looked genuinely delighted.

”Xueqing!”

His voice was filled with excitement.

”It has been years... I’ve finally seen you again.”

His gaze remained fixed upon her elegant figure.

Compared to the last time they had met, Bai Xueqing seemed even more breathtaking.

Her flawless face had become even more refined.

She truly resembled an immortal fairy untouched by the mortal world.

Shen Liang was completely captivated.

Bai Xueqing merely looked at him with unconcealed disgust.

Then, her gaze briefly landed on his right arm.

A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes.

(His arm... It had recovered.)

Years ago, Bai Zihan had personally crippled that arm.

She knew better than anyone how severe the injury had been.

For the Shen Clan to restore it, they must have paid an astonishing price.

The medicine alone was probably priceless.

Still, that thought lasted only an instant.

Whether his arm had recovered or not had nothing to do with her.

She calmly withdrew her gaze.

”What do you want?”

Her cold voice echoed through the courtyard.

”If you have something to say, then say it. Don’t waste my time.”

The smile on Shen Liang’s face immediately stiffened.

A trace of hurt appeared within his eyes.

”Xueqing! I know you’re still angry. But everything that happened before was just a misunderstanding. I—”

”I don’t care.”

Bai Xueqing interrupted him before he could continue.

Her expression remained as cold as ever.

”What happened before no longer matters to me. So stop talking about it.”

Bai Xueqing looked impatient.

”If you have nothing else to say, then leave.”

Shen Liang clenched his fists yet he refused to give up easily.

”Everything I did... I did it for your sake. You have to trust me.”

Bai Xueqing quietly looked at him.

Her face remained completely expressionless.

There wasn’t the slightest indication that his words had affected her.

Not even a little.

If anything...

She looked even more disgusted than before.

Anyone present could tell.

Forget believing him.

Bai Xueqing was one hundred and ten percent certain that not a single word coming from Shen Liang’s mouth was worth believing.

Seeing her unmoved expression, Shen Liang’s heart gradually filled with frustration.

His breathing became heavier.

Finally, he couldn’t suppress himself any longer.

”I’ve loved you for so many years!”

His voice rose involuntarily.

”I’ve done everything for you! I’ve never stopped thinking about you!”

He stared directly into Bai Xueqing’s eyes.

”Can’t you forgive me just once? I’ve already paid the price for everything!”

His voice echoed throughout the quiet courtyard.

Bai Xueqing’s expression remained unchanged.

Not a single ripple appeared within her icy eyes.

It was as though Shen Liang’s heartfelt confession had never reached her ears.

Without another word, she turned around.

She had already lost all interest in continuing this conversation.

Seeing her leave so decisively, Shen Liang panicked.

”Xueqing!”

He hurriedly stepped forward.

”Wait!”

Bai Xueqing did not stop.

Only then did Shen Liang grit his teeth and shout,

”Our Shen Clan is willing to help the Bai Clan!”

Those words finally caused Bai Xueqing to pause.

Shen Liang immediately thought he had finally gained her attention.

He quickly continued.

”Our Shen Clan is willing to cooperate with the Bai Clan. We can become allies. We can help the Bai Clan in many ways.”

”The previous misunderstandings can all be forgotten.”

As he spoke, confidence gradually returned to his face.

Although the Shen Clan had suffered repeated setbacks over the past few years, they were still one of the empire’s foremost clans.

At least, that was what he believed.

What he failed to realize was that the current Shen Clan no longer possessed the qualifications to negotiate with the Bai Clan.

Especially after the Li Clan and Zhao Clan had openly submitted to them.

Compared to those two clans, the Shen Clan simply wasn’t worth mentioning anymore.

Without the Li-Zhao Alliance, which had once gathered the forces that opposed the Bai Clan, that alliance had completely dissolved.

Countless forces that had once offended the Bai Clan were desperately trying to repair their relationship.

Some offered priceless artifacts.

Others willingly transferred mines, businesses, and territories.

Some even volunteered to become subordinate forces.

They all understood one thing.

Provoking the Bai Clan any further was courting death.

Among those forces, the Shen Clan naturally ranked near the top.

After all, aside from the Li Clan and Zhao Clan before their reconciliation, no one had opposed the Bai Clan more openly than they had.

Now, Shen Liang actually dared to stand here and say that the Shen Clan was willing to help the Bai Clan.

Bai Xueqing found it utterly baffling.

When someone is begging... Who does so with such an arrogant attitude?

Who speaks as though they are doing the other party a favor?

For a brief moment, she genuinely wondered whether Shen Liang had lost his mind.

In the end, she simply lost interest altogether.

There was no point wasting any more time on such a foolish person.

Bai Xueqing turned toward Qinglan.

She respectfully cupped her fists.

”Master. If there is nothing else, this disciple will return to cultivation.”

Qinglan nodded gently.

Bai Xueqing bowed once more.

Without sparing Shen Liang even a single glance, she calmly walked away.

Her white robes fluttered gently as her figure gradually disappeared beyond the courtyard.

Shen Liang stood there motionless.

His pupils trembled.

His breathing gradually became ragged.

She...

She had left just like that.

Crack!

His fingernails dug deeply into his palms.

Fresh blood slowly trickled down.

His face gradually twisted.

Confusion became unwillingness.

Unwillingness became resentment.

Finally, resentment transformed into madness.

”I gave you everything...”

His voice trembled.

”I loved you for so many years. I was willing to do anything for you. And you...”

His eyes slowly became bloodshot.

A crazed expression spread across his face.

”So be it! If that’s your choice...”

His voice became increasingly cold.

”Then don’t blame me for taking action.”

The terrifying hatred within his eyes caused even Qinglan’s brows to knit together slightly.

She suddenly felt...

That Shen Liang before her seemed like an entirely different person.
