Chapter 98: When I am Around, He Cannot Exist!

“Ji Tingyu, why are you here?”

Jiang Yi quickly invited her into the house. Qian Wanguan was groveling while he served some tea, occasionally winking at Jiang Yi. The latter even resorted to chasing him out.

Ji Tingyu extended her snow and fair jade hands to gracefully lift the teacup for a sip. She then spoke softly, “When we just entered the college, I had been stabilizing my cultivation realm and going for missions to obtain accumulation points. That is why I only have time to come to see you now. I heard that you encountered an attack from an Ice Beast yesterday. Are you ok?”

“Nothing much. Mentor Su had slain the Ice Beast, and we were all rescued.”

As Jiang Yi spoke, he sensed the presence of Ji Tingyu and smiled, “Congratulations Young Miss Ji for reaching the Purple Mansion Realm and officially stepping into the hall of martial artists. It has only been less than half a year, right? You actually broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm already. Your cultivation speed is making me blush with shame.”

“Pfff!”

Ji Tingyu laughed. “If it was coming from others, it would sound about right. But you dare speak like this? I used up tons of my clan’s resources and cultivated day and night to barely break through. You? Silently breaking through to the sixth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. Who would dare to address themselves a prodigy in front of you?”

Jiang Yi rubbed his nose and smiled. He was pleased with his cultivation speed, but a pity that his seal was broken rather late and had this rather huge gap from the true prodigies of his generation. The encounter with the Ice Beast made him feel the importance of strength. Without strength, one could only helplessly be slaughtered by the enemy.

“And you…”

Ji Tingyu suddenly rolled her eyes and reproached, “Not that I want to talk you down… but can you not simply make enemies within the college? Since you entered the college, you have already offended the members of both the Jiang and the Zhangsun Clans.”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and grudgingly replied, “I didn’t want to offend them, but they came provoking me. You know that I am a person that can tolerate a lot of things, but there are some things that I just cannot put down.”

“Oh, that’s right!”

Ji Tingyu’s eyes brightened as she proposed, “Didn’t Jiang Yunhai once served under the Western Garrison Liege Lord? You can ask him to go negotiate with the Jiang Clan… to turn hostility into friendship. It isn’t a good thing to have animosity with the Jiang Clan. You too know of how mighty Jiang Bieli is. His Highness is also a young and upcoming prodigy who has excellent talent. He would surely inherit his father’s achievements and take over as the Liege Lord. It isn’t wise to be enemies with him.”

Jiang Yi’s expression abruptly changed. He stared intently at Ji Tingyu for a moment before speaking seriously, “Tingyu, if you treat me as a friend, then don’t talk about this in the future. Jiang Yiliu and I have vengeance now. When I am around, he cannot exist. If he is around, I cannot exist. There is no way to neutralize this.”

“Sigh… why are you always so stubborn?”

Ji Tingyu’s expression got serious as she shook her head and sighed. “Jiang Yi, I know that you have a lot of confidence and have many trump cards. But there are some people—some clans that are stronger and far beyond anything you can imagine. Listen to my advice and not be enemies with His Highness. If not, you might just die one day without knowing why.”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi stood up and laughed. He looked down from above and locked his eyes onto the absolutely beautiful face and spoke firmly, “Tingyu, I solemnly advise you, too. Don’t be too closely related with the members of the Jiang and the Zhangsun Clans. Or else, we might not even be friends in the future!”

Jiang Yi knew that Ji Tingyu had an ambitious heart and wanted to be wedded into a real powerful aristocratic clan. But when he heard her tone of admiration towards Jiang Yiliu, he couldn’t help but flare up.

They might be brothers from different mothers, but they could never become true brothers. They would instead become nemesis that would find all ways to kill eliminate one another. If Ji Tingyu truly chose Jiang Yiliu, then she would become Jiang Yi’s enemy!

“You…”

Ji Tingyu was so angry that her delicate body trembled. She shook her head and didn’t say much before leaving with eyes of disappointment.

“Boss, be careful of this woman.”

Fatty quietly came in and looked at the Ji Tingyu’s back. He lamented, “This woman is incredible. She took just a few months after entering the college to make plenty of men infatuated. A Young Master of the Zhangsun Clan and Jiang Qilin are all being played around by her. This woman has a scheming heart and brilliant methods. I am guessing that her true target is either Jiang Yiliu or Zhangsun Clan’s Young Clan Head, Zhangsun Wuji.”

“Sigh!”

Jiang Yi let out a deep sigh. He had always thought of Ji Tingyu as a friend. But after combining the information from Qian Wanguan and her earlier speech, he knew that this friend might possibly become distant from him in the future.

“Oh, that’s right!”

Qian Wanguan recalled something and spoke again, “Your Jiang Clan’s Young Clan Head, Jiang Henshui, and that Liu He had become the subordinates of Jiang Qilin. Recently, there has been somebody investigating on your identity. I estimate that in a few months, Jiang Yiliu would know of your true identity.”

“I don’t care anymore. I am going to cultivate.”

Jiang Yi shook his head with a headache. There was no reason for him to consider so much now. Things that would come would eventually do so. Instead of letting his imagination run wild, why not fight for more time to cultivate and make himself stronger?

For the next few days, while Su Ruoxue was recuperating, Jiang Yi’s class did not need to go hunting for demonic beasts. Thus, Jiang Yi cultivated day and night within the cultivation room and spent the rest of his spare time trying to comprehend the Overflow Rain Sword.

Jiang Yunhai asked Qian Wanguan’s men to bring Jiang Yi more elixirs, helping Jiang Yi’s cultivation speed to skyrocket. On the fourth evening, Jiang Yi finished his cultivation and prepared to go for a meal. But he surprisingly saw a beautiful figure within the courtyard.

“Mentor Su!”

Jiang Yi was stunned to see the ice mountain beauty in front of his eyes. He didn’t expect for Su Ruoxue to really come looking for him.

Su Ruoxue stood in the courtyard like a quietly blooming ice mountain snow lotus flower. She insipidly looked at Qian Wanguan and spoke, “Qian Wanguan, you may go out for a moment. I have things to discuss with Jiang Yi.”

“Alright!” Qian Wanguan came over to Jiang Yi and gave him a wretched smile, before jolting his butt as he walked out. Jiang Yi walked over and smiled. “Mentor Su, what is the matter?”

“Let’s go in and talk.”

Su Ruoxue’s expression was as cold as ice. She ignored Jiang Yi and headed straight into the room. Jiang Yi followed up quickly, and after Su Ruoxue entered the house, she closed her eyes to sense around the place, making sure there were no spies before speaking to Jiang Yi, “Jiang Yi. Do you know? That Ice Beast was actually slain by you!”

Jiang Yi blinked his eyes and rolled his eyes before replying, “Mentor Su, this joke is not funny at all. I might not have studied much, but don’t cheat me…”

Su Ruoxue was in a rather pleasant mood and found it ridiculous while she spoke with anger, “Did you really forget everything that happened that day? Did you not know that you have realized the… Massacre Intent?”

“Massacre Intent?”

The pair of blood red eyes flashed in the mind of Jiang Yi as his body suddenly trembled. He widened his scorching eyes to look at Su Ruoxue and spoke seriously, “Mentor Su, are you sure you aren’t deceiving me?”

“What do you have that is worth for me to deceive you?”

Su Ruoxue rolled her eyes and spoke with an imposing tone, “Jiang Yi. Your martial dao intent is frightening, and I think you have yet to gain full control over it. I came here intentionally to remind you to spend time analyzing it when you have time and completely realized this Massacre Intent. Once you have full control of it, your strength will certainly increase drastically! And this martial dao intent has the ability to grow in power along with your cultivation stage and realm. It will certainly be beneficial to your future combat strength.”

“Full control?”

Jiang Yi was rather lost. He didn’t even know that he released the Massacre Intent. How was he going to gain full control of it?”
