Chapter 511: Old Enmity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Staring intensely at the distant twitching figure, Lu Shangyou’s body turned stiff. After rubbing his eyes to make sure that he was not being delirious, he was stunned for a while before picking up two glasses of champagne as a cover to hurriedly walk over to the girl who was trembling ceaselessly at the corner of the banquet hall. Whispering, he asked in Chinese, “Little Li, what’s wrong with you?”

“Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Lu, great enmity, great enmity...” The woman fell into silence for a while before turning around stiffly like a puppet. Her beautiful face, that was further enhanced with naked makeup, was twisted to a horrifying look. With her teeth gritting loudly, she used her entire might to force the words out of her teeth.

Lu Shangyou knew that his Junior Sister was a talented person and used to be very haughty, arrogant and spoiled. However, ever since she experienced a great calamity two to three years back, she underwent a complete transformation and became unusually composed, becoming a genius in the Gate who could completely take charge of things by herself. It was completely inconceivable for her to lose her cool like this now.

“Compose yourself. Do you want to be consumed by your power...” Disregarding the fact that the girl called him by ‘Senior Brother’ despite having been exhorted by their Gate’s master, Lu Shangyou howled.

The Senior Brother’s warning caused the girl to freeze entirely. In a hoarse voice, she said, “Even if I get consumed by my power and will never be able to be reincarnated again, I, Li Xiangzhou will swear to kill this, kill this....”

In fact, she was panting heavily doing everything within her power to try to repress the burning blaze in her heart.

“Junior Sister, you also know that the responsibility given in our Noah World’s trip this time is very important. Our Gate’s prosperousness may depend entirely on this. We need to focus on the overall situation no matter what. Hurry and take this wine glass. Be careful, don’t attract any attention...” When Lu Shangyou saw that Li Xiangzhou’s distorted face had regained its composure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Something flashed through his mind, as though having guessed something, great bafflement could be felt in his heart. Even so, pretending to act as though nothing was wrong, he passed the glass of champagne to Li Xiangzhou.

“The overall situation is important, it’s always this saying! At first they said that we can’t act recklessly because we need to suppress the arrogance of the Gate of Witchcraft,” the girl did not take the wine handed by her Senior Brother and said through her gritted teeth instead. “And now you’re telling me to be more careful because our Gate’s prosperousness may depend entirely on this? Yes, you’re right! All of you are always right! Senior Brother Lu, what you and Master said is always right! But don’t tell me that we’ll just let the enmity of Senior Brother Tianliang’s soul shattered being refined by the successor of the ancient witchcraft go away like this?! Having his soul shattered means that he’ll never be able to reincarnate! Senior Brother Tianliang’s soul was forced to be shattered and will never be able to reincarnate again for wanting to save Lianbao and me...”

Lu Shangyou had heard some rumors about the tragedy mentioned by Li Xiangzhou so he knew that a Junior Brother named Zheng Tianliang had once had his body and soul transformed into ashes by a wizard in order to save Li Xiangzhou.

This incident had created a great commotion in the Gate but was left unsettled due to his Master’s delay. Lu Shangyou suspected that there were only three reasons why his Masters refused to seek revenge — first, they were indeed occupied by some other important tasks; second, the reason Zhang Lisheng was murdered was because he was the one who set a trap to lure in the other party first before getting murdered himself. Due to the obligation of Heavenly Dao Rule, the Gate did not have any excuse to cross Gates to seek revenge. Adding on to their fear of inadvertently causing international disputes, they could only endure it; third, Zhang Lisheng’s position in the Gate had always been very weak. Even though his name was greatly elevated after he nobly chose to sacrifice himself to save his comrades, he would still not be avenged by any powerful or respectful Masters. If the person who died had been Li Xiangzhou or Duan Lianbao, then perhaps it would have been another story.

The third reason in these three said reasons could not be voiced out loud. The first reason could persuade a reasonable ordinary person but would not be able to calm a madman who had been overwhelmed by hatred. When Lu Shangyou saw Li Xiangzhou’s manner that looked as though she would break down any time soon, he knew that she was already doing her entire might to not make her move right away. After a series of expressions coursed through his face, he whispered again, “Junior Sister Xiangzhou, even if you want to take your revenge, you must take time to plan it. I know that you’re very talented and masterful in the Dao but it doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to defeat that ancient witchcraft’s successor.”

“S-Senior Brother, y-you allow me to seek my revenge?” the girl’s eyes widened as she said delightfully with her teeth chattering.

“I mean, even if you want to take your revenge, you must take time to plan it,” Lu Shangyou dodged the question. When Li Xiangzhou saw how he shunned the question, she gritted her teeth and pondered before replying, ” Senior Brother Lu, you’re well-known in the Gate but a red flower will still need green leaves to accompany it. You also know that I also have some reputation among the female disciples in the Gate and Lianbao’s background is not any worse than yours too. If you can avenge this deep enmity for us, then you’d be the number one person among the young generations in the Gate. Lianbao and I will always follow your lead...”

“Sigh, Junior Sister. What are you talking about? We’re all compatriot siblings who are as close as though we came from the same womb so what’s the need to rank ourselves as number one or number two person...” Lu Shangyou’s eyes lit up. Both of his hands actually crushed the champagne glass that he was holding. After a long moment of ponderation, as though he had made up his mind, he said with all solemness, “It’s just that Masters have their own considerations but someone should indeed preside over justice seeing that a disciple among our generations has been killed. Tell me, who is the schmuck who killed Junior Brother Lu?”

“It’s that thin man who talked to you just now! I’ll never forget that ugly face!”

“That thin man? Don’t tell me that it’s Miss Douglin’s boyfriend?” Lu Shangyou turned around subconsciously and found Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting lazily in the distant sofa, near the wall talking and laughing with Guo Caiying. His expression changed right away, “Why does he look as though he’s familiar with Director Guo?”

“Director Guo graduated from Stanford, the same school with that beast so it’s not that surprising,” Li Xiangzhou explained.

“Is that so? The society really shelters many evil people. Who would have ever thought that such a well-dressed guy would turn out to be the successor of the ancient witchcraft?” Lu Shangyou frowned and hissed, as though he was having a toothache, before muttering, “This is troublesome. He’s Miss Douglin’s boyfriend and we need to rely on the mineral development company under her to mine the jade mine. And now, we even have Director Guo in the picture too... Ah, this enmity is hard to be avenged!”

The special identity of the enemy made Lu Shangyou’s brain that was seduced by fame and fortune to become befuddled. At this time, Zhang Lisheng, who was remembered by his old enemy, on the other hand, was high in spirit and was flaunting his seniority telling Guo Caiying, “I’m very pleased to hear that! Looks like there are still people who keep a clear mind on those Atlanteans.”

“Junior Brother, you’re not even 25 years old yet so can you please don’t talk as though you’re already 52 years old?” Guo Caiying said with a grin. “You don’t have to praise me. I also know that I want to be successful than the others but to be honest, I really didn’t expect to see your girlfriend’s career to be so successful.”

“Oh, you’re wrong! A man like me who always cut open animal’s bodies to feed my poisonous insects with blood and flesh, and who can even transform into a King Kong, would scare all other ordinary girls away. Of course a person who can like me is not an ordinary person,” Zhang Lisheng joked.

“Well, you have a point...” Guo Caiying was stunned for a while before saying with a sigh. After a moment, she stood up in silence without warning and looked down at the young man before saying out of the blue, “I want a drink, do you want some wine?”

“Wine? No, I prefer Coke,” Zhang Lisheng replied in confusion.

“Junior Brother, you’re such a weirdo. It’s indeed true that no ordinary girl would like you.” Guo Caiying looked at the young man with a blank expression for a while before bursting into a chuckle. She walked to the table filled with champagne and started drinking glass by glass. She never talked any word to Zhang Lisheng again until she left when the banquet had ended.

Now that Zhang Lisheng had had more experience, he was no longer an idiot when it came to relationships. He could tell that Guo Caiying seemed to be harboring a special feeling for him but he who had unconsciously messed up his own love life did not want to make it any more complicated.

He preferred it even more for the girl to ignore him. In the following days, the young man spent the night with his girlfriend and when Tina was busy with the company during the day, he would either stay alone in the room cultivating or spend time together with Trish.

Not only that, due to the reason that he was worried about the power of sage his girlfriend had obtained by mistake, he also purposely took the time to use the wizard power contained in his soul to feel the mysterious book obtained from the foreign world’s god. He realized that the sage’s power could be fused with the power of faith to become greater but its foundation did not come from the god’s bestowment.

This was a power generated in wisdom. If it was purely used in war, it would not be great but its changing scope of application and the ability to ‘enlighten’ ordinary people with supernatural power could make the master of the sage’s power to possess the qualities of a leader.

When the young man told Tina his conclusions and asked her to explore her super powers with more confidence in the future, the girl, who was already accustomed to carrying the sage’s book in her platinum bag all day bringing it wherever she went so she could just casually flip through it when she was bored, still pretended to be ecstatic, as if her boyfriend had solved a big problem for herself.

Time passed by, and Zhang Lisheng had unconsciously stayed in Noah World for two weeks. On this morning, when the pale sunshine had just spilled onto Earth, Tina hastily woke up and kissed the young man, who was sitting next to her cultivating secret method all night, before rushing into the bathroom.

After freshening up herself, the girl ran to the dressing table and put on make-up as she said, “Baby, the business deal with your Senior Sister has reached its final stage now and we’ll be going to the ore mining site for inspection today so it’ll be very late when I come back. Oh yeah, your Senior Sister will go together so do you want to go too?”

“My dear, we all know that you’re dealing business with the big company supported by the Chinese government and not Senior Sister Guo Caiying.” Zhang Lisheng smiled wryly. “Also, I don’t have the intention to take the initiative to see her at all.”

“I’m sorry, baby. You’ve been very obedient lately but I still am a little jealous...” Tina only took five minutes to finish applying on her makeup. She glanced at her watch and exclaimed in surprise, “Oh, I need to go now. Love you, see ya!”

After planting a faint red lip mark on her boyfriend’s lips, she hastily left the villa.
