Chapter 1488 - Ancestor Protects!

“Legendary warrior!” Elder Bo Yan suddenly stood up and looked at the incoming person doubtfully.

The other party had a formidable and oppressive aura. He was definitely an elite amongst the warriors!

His gaze turned, and he looked at Chu Liuyue. “Chu—Girlie, who is that?”

That man said ‘Shangguan clan’s descendant.’ Is that not Shangguan Yue?! Didn’t they say that this girl was from outside the realm? Why does she have such a formidable helper?

Quite a few people pricked their ears up.

!!

Chu Liuyue looked at the middle-aged man that came from the horizon. Her heart beat intensely.

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

“A-Ancestor!” she softly muttered, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and unconcealable happiness!

Detecting her change in emotions, Rong Xiu’s gaze turned, and a smile flashed across his eyes. I didn’t expect this person to come so quickly…

In the blink of an eye, Shangguan Jing had already appeared before her.

His clothes blew with the wind. He wasn’t angry, but he had his own aura.

He walked toward Chu Liuyue step by step as he looked at her and smiled.

Chu Liuyue stared at him in a daze, not daring to believe what she saw at that moment.

There weren’t many changes to Shangguan Jing’s appearance and figure, but he was a translucent soul in the past. Now, he had a real, physical body!

His facial expression was so intimate and familiar.

Shangguan Jing lowered his head slightly, stared straight at Chu Liuyue, smiled, and said, “What? Girlie, you haven’t seen me for such a short while and can’t recognize me anymore?”

Chu Liuyue was still a little dazed. “…Ancestor?”

She really did not expect her ancestor to appear!

Back at the Flood-Desert Northern Region, she had faintly guessed that her ancestor had once gone there. Later on, she knew that it should be her ancestor’s tomb. At that place, she did think that her ancestor might be able to live. However… she never expected it to be true!

Besides… her ancestor’s capabilities seemed… extremely strong!

Seeing that she was so confused and dazed for once, Shangguan Jing couldn’t help but laugh out loud, reach out, and ruffle Chu Liuyue’s hair. “Hahaha! Are you silly, Girlie? Are you not happy that Ancestor is here?”

Everyone was stunned. Ancestor?! This man is Shangguan Yue’s ancestor?! However, we haven’t seemed to have heard of warriors with the last name Shangguan… If there were, it was impossible that we didn’t know it!

Quite a few people exchanged glances, but they clearly didn’t understand this middle-aged man that appeared. However, his appearance made the crowd fearful.

Not only did Shangguan Yue have Ling Xiao Academy and the Sky-Cloud Empire backing her up, she even had this legendary warrior that came from nowhere! And judging from his aura, he could suppress the majority present!

If this person was really Shangguan Yue’s ancestor… With their blood ties, he would definitely protect her till the end! That would be even trickier…

Shangguan Jing lightly patted her head and said properly, “Don’t worry. With me around, nobody can bully you!”

Seeing her ancestor’s kind and doting smile, tears suddenly welled up in Chu Liuyue’s eyes.

She had always been resilient and did not give up easily. Even if she was surrounded and oppressed by so many people today, she didn’t reveal any weakness! That was because she knew that she could not!

If she revealed a bit of her weakness at this time, these people would become even worse! Hence, she had to be stronger!

However, Shangguan Jing’s light sentence easily broke through her wall. At that moment, grievances, pain, reminiscence, happiness… Countless complicated emotions overwhelmed her.

Shangguan Jing saw that her eyes went red, and his heart hurt. “Okay, okay. It’s all my fault for coming too late! I caused you to be aggrieved, right?”

He wanted to help Chu Liuyue wipe the tears brewing in her eyes, but he didn’t know how and was clearly helpless.

He had experienced countless thunderstorms and was best at fighting and killing, but when his own descendant cried, he really didn’t know what to do. He could only stand there anxiously.

Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but laugh and reach out to pull his sleeves. “Ancestor, don’t worry. I was just too happy to see you.”

Seeing that she smiled, SHangguan Jing’s eyes sparkled, and he felt relieved.

Chu Liuyue sized him up and was slightly dazed. “How… did you come out?”

She asked this rather tactfully.

In actual fact, Shangguan Jing was just a soul back then and wasn’t complete. All along, Chu Liuyue thought that as long as she helped her ancestor reform his physical body and find his remaining soul, he could live again. But now…

Shangguan Jing knocked her forehead, smiled, and said, “Girlie, did you forget that that’s our territory?”

Chu Liuyue was dazed. Our territory… Is he referring to… the comb?

Suddenly, a ray of white light flashed across her mind. With Ancestor appearing like this, doesn’t it prove that his remaining soul had been buried in the tomb and—

Her gaze suddenly landed on Shangguan Jing.

Her ancestor’s face and hands had light scars; they seemed like old injuries.

If he had reformed his physical body, he naturally wouldn’t have such wounds. This is… Ancestor’s original body?! Could the thing sealed in the tomb be Ancestor thousands of years ago—

As if seeing through her thoughts, Shangguan Jing blinked.

Chu Liuyue instantly understood and swallowed the words in her throat. However, the ripples in her heart couldn’t be appeased for a long while.

“Let’s talk about this in detail when we go back. I’ll settle this trouble for you first,” said Shangguan Jing with a smile. Then, he turned around and looked at the crowd.

Finally, his gaze landed on the man in his forties that was questioning Chu Liuyue. The smile on his face had faded by quite a bit, and his gaze was like a blade that scraped past the other party as if he wanted to directly skin the other party!

Detecting the vague pain, that man’s heart turned numb, and his gaze unwittingly became dodgy.

Shangguan Jing suddenly asked, “You were the one pressuring my Yue’er just now?”

His voice didn’t have the gentleness when he spoke to Chu Liuyue, and it was now as cold as ice.

Every single word seemed to weigh a ton as it suppressed him!

That man’s heart shuddered. Ever since this person appeared, he knew that the other party wasn’t one to be trifled with. “I-I was just asking about some things and had no intention of pressuring her. Everyone was present, and they can testify for me!”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jing tugged at the corner of his mouth without much smiling intent. “Oh? Really?”

That man broke out into a cold sweat. I’ve seen quite a few scenes before. If it weren’t because the other party is too strong, why would I—

“Of course, it’s true! I asked in that manner so that she could have a chance to clarify! I—”

Thump!

Before he could finish his sentence, Shangguan Jing suddenly raised his hand!

A blue-black force suddenly flew out!

That man’s figure instantly flew backward and landed on the ground harshly!

Shangguan Jing snorted. “What are you!? How dare you interrogate Yue’er!”
