Words : 1486 Author : Deep Feelings

Chapter 606 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" kicks off revealing: At the far end of the long street, there was a slender figure.Her hair cascaded... Find out what’s next!

At the far end of the long street, there was a slender figure.Her hair cascaded down like a waterfall, covering her slender waist that was so delicate it seemed could be encompassed with a single hand, while the tips of her hair gently rested upon her perky round buttocks.

It was indeed a figure that could captivate souls.

Looking at this figure, people immediately understood the eagerness in the loud calls of the tall man.

Amidst nearly universal attention, the woman turned around.

A sigh.

Zhu Bijing heard herself let out a sigh.

Even as a young lady herself, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment at this moment.

The woman’s face was just too ordinary; not ugly, per se, but with plain features and nothing particularly striking.

It just wasn’t…

wasn’t quite a match for her figure.

One only needed to look at the disappointed expressions of others on the street to know that she was not alone in this sentiment.

The woman looked somewhat impatient as she addressed the tall man who had caught up to her, “Xu Xiangqian, please stop following me.”

Xu Xiangqian, undeterred by the rejection, said with a beaming smile, “The road is open to all, my fellow Academy sister, how can you say I’m following you?”

This man is real pest.

Zhu Bijing thought.

The woman retorted in annoyance, “If it’s the road open to all, then why are you calling for me?”

“You stopped when I called,” Xu Xiangqian said, moved, “My fellow Academy sister must have me in her heart after all.”

“If you spout more nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart,” the woman’s face darkened, “I, Zhao Wuyan, always do as I say.”

Xu Xiangqian put on a wounded expression; his voice also turned somber, “Why so distant, sister, when we’re both disciples from the Academies?”

Zhao Wuyan was silent for a while, “I remember we’re not from the same Academy.”

“All Academies under heaven are one family.

As disciples of the Confucianist Gate, we are branches of the same tree, why differentiate between you and me?” Xu Xiangqian spoke with righteous words, “My sister, fate has brought us together, and our Academy relations are so close, how can you push me a thousand miles away?”

“Longmen Academy and Qingya Academy squabble every other day; I really don’t see where this close relationship between our Academies is.

I’m even less aware of any ‘fate’ between us!

I just said I was going to the sea to clear my mind, and you followed me all the way to the Near Sea Archipelago!”

“Quarreling just shows how close the relations are!” Xu Xiangqian argued confidently, “Look, do you folks at Qingya Academy quarrel with Diligent Academy?

No, right?

They look down on you, and you look down on them; when there’s mutual disdain, what’s there to quarrel about?”

Diligent Academy was filled with scholars immersed in scriptures, often calling themselves bookworms, the kind that could bury their noses in a book until death.

They hardly quarreled with anyone.

But in Xu Xiangqian’s words, this turned into “looking down on each other.”

“As for my trip to the Near Sea Archipelago this time, you’re really misunderstanding me, sister.

I was journeying around the world, just finished my travels in Qi Country.

Though Qi Country is vast, I’ve seen all the sights.

So naturally, I headed east to see the ocean.

And then I happened to run into you, sister!”

Xu Xiangqian, while talking, slapped his thigh, “If this isn’t fate, what is?”

At this moment, a woman in a white Confucian robe beside Zhao Wuyan spoke out loudly, “This is called having no shame!”

She had two dimples on her face, looking even more charming when annoyed, “What journey around the world?

Wherever Zhao sister goes, you follow; you’re clearly nothing but a loafer.

When you were in Qi Country, you were probably pestering other women just the same.

You were probably chased out of Qi Country, weren’t you?”

“Being a scholar yourself, how can you slander someone’s reputation out of thin air?” Xu Xiangqian looked shocked and angry, “I, Xu Xiangqian, am known as an upright gentleman; how could I be fickle?

My affection for Zhao sister is not just for a day or two.

You can insult me, but you cannot insult my feelings!”

When he was in Qi Country, he had confessed his love to Li Fengyao.

But later, under Li Fengyao’s “patient persuasion,” he changed his mind.

Xu Xiangqian thought that such a brief experience could be entirely disregarded.

It was merely a momentary daze—who doesn’t get lost in thought sometimes?

It wasn’t indecisiveness!

Watching Xu Xiangqian’s expression of bitter indignation, Zhao Wuyan truly couldn’t comprehend where his abundant emotions came from.

As a talented Confucian cultivator from Longmen Academy, naturally she had no shortage of admirers, but few were as persistent as Xu Xiangqian.

Zhao Wuyan was quite exasperated, “The last time we met should have been during the debate between Mr.

Chen and Mr.

Mo, which by my reckoning was less than a year ago.

Xu Xiangqian, where did you find the time to harbor such long-term affection for me?”

Xu Xiangqian looked earnest with sparkling eyes, “In the past, though we hadn’t met, my heart yearned for you.

Once we had met, I was committed for life.”

“Hiss.” The dimpled female Confucianist inhaled sharply, “That’s just disgusting!”

Xu Xiangqian looked at her discontentedly, “Even though I’m quite charming, you shouldn’t always be looking for an opportunity to talk to me.

I am steadfast and true, and it’s impossible for me to fall for another.”

The dimpled woman stepped forward, fuming, really wanting to hit him, “I’m not blind!”

“Eh~” Xu Xiangqian’s voice shifted through several tones as he stepped back, “Miss, men and women should not touch each other freely.

Please don’t stand so close.

My heart belongs to my senior sister; you stand no chance.”

“All right, Zi Shu.” Zhao Wuyan pulled the almost crying dimpled woman behind her, looking sternly at Xu Xiangqian, “Xu Disciple, we are both from Confucianist Gate, so I’ll address you as Disciple.

Have I not reminded you to be more careful with your words?”

She was clearly ready to teach him a lesson.

Xu Xiangqian immediately spread his hands and even purposely loosened his Path Origin, looking ready to be hit or scolded, with a very aggrieved expression, “I didn’t fabricate anything about you, Senior Sister, I simply expressed my inner thoughts.

Is that not allowed either?”

Zhao Wuyan found herself at a loss for words.

Even though Xu Xiangqian was constantly spouting nonsense, he indeed hadn’t fabricated anything about her.

To reprimand him like this would seem as if she were being unreasonable.

After all, Xu Xiangqian was an advanced disciple of Qingya Academy, and his teacher was famously protective.

Even if she really wanted to rebuke him, it would not do to strike him too harshly.

Zhu Bijing was ready to leave after hearing all this, struggling to endure Yi Wu’s shameless display.

But the following conversation piqued her interest again.

“Fine,” Zhao Wuyan said, “You claim to like me, but I hate those who are ignorant and skill-less.

You say you’ve just finished your travels in Qi Country; I’d like to know, where would you rank among the youth there?”

Without hesitation, Xu Xiangqian replied, “Naturally, I’m among the very best!”

Zhao Wuyan had intended to discourage him with this question, but Xu Xiangqian’s thick skin was beyond her expectation.

Wasn’t he merely speaking nonsense because nobody in Qi Country was present to contradict him?

The girl named Zi Shu also laughed in anger, “Among the very best?

That’s quite the claim!

Have you defeated Wang Yiwu, or bested Lei Zhanqian?

Are you stronger than Jiang Wang?”

The Near Sea Archipelago was close to Qi Country, and they always kept a close eye on the goings-on there.

Recently, the most prominent name among the younger generation, other than Jiang Wang, was not up for debate.

Zi Shu and Zhao Wuyan had heard of Jiang Wang’s exploits several times in the Near Sea Archipelago, hence their deep impression of him.

“Hahaha.”

Talking about others was one thing,

But when it came to Jiang Wang, Xu Xiangqian couldn’t help but laugh.

He laughed aloud, full of pride and satisfaction, “To be modest, I’d say I’m on a par with Jiang Wang, equally matched.

We are as close as brothers.

We’re called the ‘Twin Stars of Ganma Mountain’!

If you don’t believe me, you can go to Linzi and ask around!”
