Chapter 339: Chapter 337: Is He Here to Mock Me?
Night fell like a cloak, blanketing the world.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~
Beneath the warm yellow glow of a streetlamp.
Su Qing knocked on the door of a house.
As soon as she heard the knocking, a woman inside got up and came to the door.
CREAK~
The wooden door opened.
It revealed a beautiful face, with long, glossy black hair cascading down to her lower back.
She stood about five feet, five inches tall.
But upon seeing Su Qing’s face, the woman’s expression instantly turned cold. She gripped the doorknob, wanting to shut the door, but hesitated.
Her gaze was icy, yet it held a deeply complex emotion.
Su Qing smiled at the person before him. "Young lady favored by destiny, may I have a word with you?"
’Communication is what makes people most comfortable. It’s just a matter of adopting a humble attitude to make others lower their guard.’
"Mm," Jiang Qingyue replied, nodding after a long, conflicted pause.
"Then let’s go outside. We can talk as we walk."
"Mm." Jiang Qingyue’s response was exceptionally cold, just a soft "Mm" for each of Su Qing’s words.
「On the road.」
"First of all, I am truly sorry."
"For destroying the happiness you had with your family."
"Stop! I don’t want to hear it," Jiang Qingyue said coldly. Hearing those words, even from Su Qing’s mouth, she couldn’t stop herself from lashing out!
Especially when facing her family’s murderer.
The moment Su Qing spoke, the immense pain and suppressed emotions inside her felt like they had been ignited by a fuse.
"I don’t want to hear your apology, you murderer."
"He was a man who committed heinous crimes."
"How could a high-and-mighty Immortal like you possibly understand having your family murdered, searching the world for the killer, only to end up living on your enemy’s island, using resources your enemy gave you for your Cultivation?"
"And that so-called enemy even said he’d give me a chance, a chance to challenge him."
"Hahaha~" Jiang Qingyue laughed through her tears, as if mocking Su Qing.
"I want to kill you right now and avenge my parents."
"You don’t understand at all!"
"All Immortals are this heartless."
Jiang Qingyue started screaming right there in the residential area, her voice sharp, her limbs trembling with agitation, her face flushed red.
This young woman had already grown indifferent to life and death. Su Qing could clearly see a death wish in her eyes.
It was an air of complete abandon, as if she were saying:
’Go on, kill me. Just kill me. Stop coming here to taunt and mock me, you high-and-mighty Immortal.’
Finally, the young woman took out a Magical Artifact and thrust her sword at Su Qing.
It was a decisive, fully-focused strike. For a Cultivator at her current level of Qi Cultivation Perfection, this strike could be considered an extraordinary display of skill.
She had already grasped the rudiments of Sword Intent.
Su Qing stood motionless, as unshakable as an insurmountable mountain of rock.
The sword couldn’t even pierce Su Qing’s Greed Realm Immortal Robe.
Tears streamed ceaselessly from the young woman’s eyes.
"Hahaha~"
She burst into loud laughter, but it couldn’t hide the grief in her eyes. An aura of utter despair emanated from her.
Her laughter turned into sobs.
She collapsed onto the blue brick floor, wailing uncontrollably.
"Kill me. Just kill me already."
"Are you pitying me?"
Su Qing remained silent.
He had already soundproofed the area around them.
The residential area was full of people he knew.
If Jiang Qingyue’s voice carried, wouldn’t it disturb everyone?
This was just a conflict between the two of them.
Albeit a conflict that contained a blood feud.
Compared to facing a scene like this, Su Qing felt that the pain of Cultivation was far more bearable.
People can never truly empathize with one another, and Su Qing’s silence was simply meant to express that.
He hadn’t killed her parents intentionally, after all.
’Violence can indeed solve all troubles successfully. If I were to kill the girl before me right now, I’m afraid I would fall into a kind of psychological block. Because I can’t face this kind of situation properly. Violence is the last resort for solving problems, but it should never be the first.’
Su Qing watched the girl before him until she had cried herself numb, cried herself to exhaustion.
He didn’t say a single word the entire time.
Finally, Jiang Qingyue’s eyes grew cold again, and she stood up.
"So, how do you want to talk?" she asked coldly, her face completely devoid of expression.
Su Qing silently watched as a flicker of life returned to the young woman’s face.
Su Qing seemed to understand something.
’Perhaps it’s better to give someone a motivation.’
"I thought we already talked?"
Su Qing chuckled, turned, and started to walk away. "Work hard. Avenge your parents."
"Your parents will be watching."
Jiang Qingyue stood frozen in place.
She watched Su Qing’s receding figure.
’So he really did just come here to laugh at me?’
...
Jiang Qingyue’s feelings grew even more complicated. She remained silent, gazing at his back.
’He doesn’t really seem like a Demon...’
’What am I thinking? He *is* a Demon! Father, Mother, I will avenge you!’
Jiang Qingyue steeled her resolve.
It seemed that revenge had become the most important thing in her life.
As for why Jiang Qingyue’s emotions were so complex, it was mainly because she had learned about Su Qing, and why he had killed her parents.
It was out of necessity. The things people do when they have no other choice.
It’s hard to distinguish right from wrong in such cases.
Just as, after learning of Su Qing’s existence, his actions, his decisions, his contributions, and his history were all uncovered, one by one.
Jiang Qingyue, in particular, had been desperate to understand.
When Lord Xiaoqing found her, she was terrified. ’How can Immortals be so powerful? They can even find me.’
Then, following Su Qing’s instructions, Xiaoqing handed over an Immortal Scripture and gave Jiang Qingyue a chance to challenge him, a chance to cultivate.
Jiang Qingyue felt that Immortals were far too arrogant. She would use her Cultivation to reach the very end and then complete her revenge.
During the numbness of Cultivation, whenever she wanted to advance further and break through, she encountered too many things she didn’t understand.
Possessing the Ten Thousand Waters Immortal Scripture, she began to wonder, ’Can I really avenge my parents?’
Then Su Qing came to find her and even mentioned that he was sorry about her parents, causing her defenses to crumble all over again.
...
...
Su Qing felt much more relaxed.
That was the first time he had ever encountered such a scene.
The target of the young woman’s revenge was him, Su Qing.
The situation was bizarre beyond measure, and Su Qing didn’t know how to describe it.
’If everyone I cared about died, I’m afraid I’d be even more crazed than Jiang Qingyue.’
And his madness...
...would make the entire world tremble.
"Sigh~"
"What can I do?"
"I don’t know any Resurrection Technique. If I did, would I even be in this situation?"
"By now, her parents have probably already been reincarnated."
Su Qing shook his head.
At his current Realm, he had long since learned the location of the cycle of reincarnation.
He could even enter it to find people.
It was underground, in the deepest part of the earth’s veins—not the absolute deepest point of the earth itself.
Therein lay the place of reincarnation.
Without reaching a certain Realm, one could dig through the entire earth and never find it.
’This is really a hassle. If I just killed her, would the trouble be over?’
"No." Su Qing shook his head. He was certain of one thing in his heart: if he encountered a similar situation, and if he killed the first person, he would do the same for the next, which wouldn’t solve anything at all.
’A true master is as open-minded as a valley; a true practitioner is one who engages in the Dual Cultivation of Life and Spirit.’
’Su Qing, oh, Su Qing, if you rely on a Visualization Map to maintain your state of mind, you wouldn’t like that yourself, would you?’ Su Qing said, speaking to himself in his heart.
