Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

A day quickly passed, and with it, the trial came to an end. Disciples of the Beichen Sword Sect walked out of the Wilderness Forest one after another. Some of them were seriously injured, and others had lost their companions. This trial was not easy for many disciples. Chen Tianqing was also frowning at the moment, leading Zhou Mengyue and Chen Tianlong out of the Wilderness Forest. This time in the trial, they basically didn't slay any demon beasts; they were too busy chasing Xu Ping'an. However, in the end, they still failed to kill Xu Ping'an. At this moment, Chen Tianqing's face was extremely gloomy. Zhou Mengyue also looked very solemn. If Xu Ping'an did not die this time, it would probably be even harder to kill him in the future. "Is that the elite disciple Tong Shan? It's said that he has reached the peak of the Second Rank Ninth Layer. I wonder how many demon beasts he has killed." Many disciples looked at the burly young man emerging from the Wilderness Forest and expressed their surprise. At the moment, the burly young man was enveloped in a murderous aura, his eyes sharp. He scanned the crowd, somewhat disappointed not to find Li Qingyi among them. He then threw the package on his back to the ground. When the package unfolded, over a hundred monster cores were revealed. "So many? And there is even a Second Rank Eighth Layer Realm monster core." Many disciples around were surprised. The burly young man heard this and a hint of a smirk appeared on his lips. Among the ten elite disciples, he was determined to be in the top three this time to earn a second look from Li Qingyi. Next, more Inner Sect disciples and elite disciples walked out. The number of beings slain by the Inner Sect disciples was generally not too high, mostly around thirty or so, with the most being just over fifty. As for the elite disciples, they had killed quite a few, mostly around seventy or eighty. Of course, the sheer number of slayings was not the final judgment criterion; the rank of the monster cores was also important. "Look, that's Li Qingyi, Li Qingyi has come out," someone exclaimed. In that instant, everyone's attention turned to Li Qingyi. Even the five elders standing in the distance looked curiously at Li Qingyi. Li Qingyi didn't pay attention to everyone's gazes but swept her eyes around the crowd. "That guy isn't here? Hasn't he come out yet?" Li Qingyi thought to herself, a trace of disappointment flickering in her eyes. Many people saw this scene. "Is Li Qingyi looking for someone?" "It seems so. Who is she looking for? Was her expression just now disappointment? Who could make Li Qingyi so concerned?" People around were discussing it. Seeing this scene, Chen Tianqing's eyes also revealed a hint of seriousness. Li Qingyi was his. Yet, Li Qingyi was concerned about someone else? He had tried to woo her many times without getting any response, and now she was concerned about another? How could this not make Chen Tianqing angry? At this moment, Zhou Mengyue also had a frown on her face. As soon as Li Qingyi appeared, all of Chen Tianqing's attention was on her, and even those who had been looking at Zhou Mengyue were drawn away. Was she really not as good as Li Qingyi? "No, one day, I will surpass you. Everything you have, I will snatch away. I will be the one who shines the brightest," Zhou Mengyue roared to herself in dissatisfaction. ... And just as everyone's attention was captivated by Li Qingyi. Xu Ping'an appeared at the edge of the Wilderness Forest, carrying a large bag on his back filled mostly with monster cores. "It looks like the pursuit has been called off. That battle with the Third Rank commander has actually allowed me to break through to the Third Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm," Xu Ping'an said with a smile. After the last battle, he found a place to heal his injuries. Once his wounds were stable, he took another Elixir of Lethal Yang Fruit and finally broke through successfully to the Third Rank of the Sea-Splitting Realm. Now his strength was truly equivalent to that of the Seventh Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm. "It's time to go out," Xu Ping'an said with a smile. This time he returned, he would find a way to kill Chen Tianqing and Zhou Mengyue. Without these two dead, he couldn't relieve his heart. Fortunately, his aunt had already left, so he had no more concerns. Thinking this, Xu Ping'an had already exited the Wilderness Forest. Seeing Xu Ping'an emerge, Chen Tianqing and Zhou Mengyue's eyes both hardened before they gripped their fists tightly, their eyes erupting with murderous intent. However, just at this moment, a figure dashed out, coming directly before Xu Ping'an. "Are you okay?" Li Qingyi asked. As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent in an instant. What's going on? Li Qingyi actually expressed concern for this guy? Who is this guy? For a moment, everyone turned their gazes towards Xu Ping'an, even Tong Shan who had frowned before. Could it be that the person Li Qingyi was looking for before was him? "How is that possible?" Chen Tianqing was seething with rage. How could Li Qingyi take the initiative to care for Xu Ping'an? How did they know each other? How could Li Qingyi, a woman of such pride, take the initiative to care for a man of the same age? At this moment, a thick jealousy welled up in Chen Tianqing's heart. The thing he had fought so hard to obtain was now snatched away by Xu Ping'an. "Xu Ping'an, if I do not kill you, I am not the son of the Commandery Prince," Chen Tianqing's heart was filled with boundless killing intent. Zhou Mengyue's brows were also deeply furrowed at this moment. Li Qingyi was showing concern for Xu Ping'an? How did they know each other? Isn't Li Qingyi the number one prodigy of Tianlong County? How could she care for that trash? No... It can't be possible... Zhou Mengyue also refused to believe that what was happening before her eyes was real. "Interesting, is that the new disciple with the Chaos Body? Why did the Sect Master throw him into the outer court?" an elder asked in surprise. They also knew about Xu Ping'an. It's just that they hadn't expected that Li Qingyi would actually take the initiative to show concern for him. "The Sect Master must have wanted him to gain some experience. This guy's breakthrough is quite swift, the Third Rank of the Sea-Splitting Realm, worthy of the Chaos Body indeed," the leading elder said with a smile, looking at Xu Ping'an with a hint of admiration in his eyes. The other elders also nodded in agreement, not too surprised at the speed of Xu Ping'an's improvement. After all, with the Chaos Body, the pace, though frighteningly fast, was still explainable. Xu Ping'an looked at Li Qingyi before him, then felt the countless murderous gazes around him, and couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears inside. "There was nothing wrong, but I fear there will be soon," Xu Ping'an said with a wry smile. "Sorry!" Li Qingyi's face turned red upon hearing his words, also realizing she might have brought trouble to Xu Ping'an. Indeed, she had been worrying about Xu Ping'an after hearing that the son of Tianlong County's Commandery Prince had sent people to encircle him. Worried that Xu Ping'an wouldn't survive, she had rushed up to ask him as soon as she saw him. "It's okay, I don't mind, just remember to return my Elixir," Xu Ping'an said, tossing the words over his shoulder before turning to leave. Li Qingyi was speechless. This guy, he's still thinking about the Elixir? She wanted to say something more, when suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Ah, I remember now, he's the guy who was carrying Li Qingyi and running through the Wilderness Forest!" Carrying Li Qingyi and running? What's the situation? The men around, who admired Li Qingyi, instantly lost their composure. One by one, they looked at Xu Ping'an with red eyes like hungry wolves. When Li Qingyi heard this, her face turned extremely red, and she quickly fled. Her action further confirmed the disciple's statement. Seeing the disciples around him looking at him with eyes red like hungry wolves, Xu Ping'an felt extreme helplessness in his heart. He knew Li Qingyi was charming, but he hadn't expected her charm to be so immense!
