Chapter 299 – Face to Face on a Narrow Path
The Divine Feathers Sect has many factions, all embroiled in an intense battle with each other. In one hundred years, the sect would thoroughly collapse. What Nie Li intended to do was become the Sect Master of the Divine Feathers Sect within those one hundred years and obtain absolute authority. It was the only way to reorganize the Divine Feathers Sect.
Gaining control of the entire Divine Feathers Sect was Nie Li’s first step in confronting the Sage Emperor!
Once he returned from this trip, he had to work on reaching the Heavenly Fate Realm as fast as possible. It was one of the crucial points to cultivation!
As Nie Li walked along the zigzagged path, he met a girl who was walking from the opposite direction. She halted her steps when she saw Nie Li.
This road was the only way to get to that valley!
Nie Li raised his head with a stunned expression. He never imagined that he’d run into Long Yuyin right here. Was she looking for his Master? Then again, his Master and Long Yuyin were fellow disciples.
Long Yuyin also never expected to encounter Nie Li here. Upon seeing Nie Li, she felt like someone had seized her heart. She didn’t know what to do with her her hands, nor did she dare approach and greet him. Originally, with her character, she’d never look at someone with much regard. However, her heart had changed a little ever since Nie Li had utterly defeated her.
Even she couldn’t figure out why she felt so nervous upon seeing him. This wasn’t like her at all!
No one else was here except for the two of them!
A surge of uncertainty left her at a loss as to what to do.
Nie Li stayed in place as he looked at her and asked, “Why are you here?”
Although he couldn’t help being reminded of the overbearing Long Yuyin from his previous life, he still remembered his Master’s words. For all the past and present vengeances, the solution starts with himself.
Although the current Long Yuyin was a little arrogant and tyrannical, she hadn’t reached the wicked-beyond-redemption point yet.
Since he’d come back to life, he had the power to resolve this vengeance before it became deeper.
Long Yuyin’s voice trembled. “I’m here to…I’m looking for someone.”
Nie Li was puzzled. Who was this girl standing in front of him who showed this blushing red face? Was she really that overbearing Long Yuyin from his previous life? Was she really that unreasonably tyrannical woman?
The two were standing some distance apart. Nie Li found it was an uncomfortable distance for a conversation, so he took a step forward.
Long Yuyin’s body immediately stiffened and she took a step back. Her voice trembled. “What are you trying to do?”
Her face boiled as she thought back to the incidents when Nie Li humiliated her. He wasn’t going to be unforgiving again, was he? Right here, right now? There were only the two of them here and she was clearly not his match. Even her physical strength, which she had been the most prideful of, had been defeated by him. Faced with him, she no longer had the slightest fighting spirit.
Nie Li was a little dazed. Since when had Long Yuyin become so timid?
