Chapter 1176: This is a Misunderstanding
But on the other side of the fight, Ling Chuxi was confused by the clear hatred in Yi Li's eyes. In terms of grudges, it should be between Ling Chuxi and Aunt Yi. But why did it feel as if Yi Li's hatred was similar to the feeling one would have towards the person who killed one's loved one? Ling Chuxi suddenly speculated, could Yi Li be the love child between Aunt Yi and Chu Fengyun?
But Ling Chuxi could find no traces of resemblance between Yi Li and Chu Fengyun. Could it be because she had not seen Chu Fengyun when he was younger? The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was of her conclusion. Otherwise, she really could not think of any other reason Yi Li would hate her so.
"Although your father died at my hands back then, it was because he was ambitious and wanted to annex the four kingdoms. He plotted against me first so I had no choice but to strike back at him," said Ling Chuxi to Yi Li.
Aside from hatred, Yi Li's eyes reflected a soul that was clear and pure. Ling Chuxi did not want to hurt her any further by hiding the truth. No matter the reason, Chu Fengyun died in her hands, so it was reasonable for her to take revenge for her father.
"Father?" Yi Li was stunned.
"The grudge between your father and I is actually a matter of the previous generation. You will understand when you grow up." Ling Chuxi did not realize that she had become an elder by accident when she spoke the second part of her sentence. And she had said it so sincerely as well.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't tell me you don't dare to admit that you killed my master?" Yi Li angrily rebuked and stabbed her sword even more. She was confused by Ling Chuxi's words. When Ling Chuxi started acting like an elder, it only seemed like she was teasing Yi Li.
"Oh, so you are not Chu Fengyun's daughter. You are his disciple," said Ling Chuxi as she blocked Yi Li's sword. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. It was still reasonable for Yi Li to be seeking revenge for a teacher. One usually would not be so understanding when facing off someone with a strong grudge against them. However, Ling Chuxi had already seen the look in Yi Li's eyes.
"Nonsense. If anything, you're the disciple of that monstrous villain. I won't waste any more time with you. I'll definitely kill you to avenge my master and retrieve my sect's relic today." Yi Li was so angry at Ling Chuxi that she almost vomited blood. Her anger grew as her attacks became even fiercer.
"Wait, who exactly are you?" It was at this moment Ling Chuxi suddenly realized that there had been a misunderstanding between them. Yi Li just called Chu Fengyun a despicable person. So who was her master and what was this relic that she spoke of?
Ling Chuxi had always felt that something was off about the battle. Now she was convinced that there was a larger issue that they have yet to uncover.
"I am the young master of Blood Beast Sect. If you kill my master and our relic, we will never let you off so easily." Yi Li looked down on Ling Chuxi. She had thought that being at the realm of True Essence Pinnacle Stage meant that it would be a piece of cake for her to kill Ling Chuxi. However, after exchanging blows with her opponent, she found out that Ling Chuxi was also at the realm of True Essence Pinnacle Stage. And with Ling Yichen and the others eyeing her like a tiger watching its prey, Yi Li started to get anxious. Once she was done declaring her identity and purpose, she focused on the battle. Each sword move striking faster and fiercer than the last towards Ling Chuxi.
Relic? Their master?
Ling Chuxi was stunned. Could it be that the bracelet on her wrist was the relic? After all, it was the first thing Yi Li asked about when they met.
