Chapter 2839 - 2840: Roadblock
Chapter 2839: Chapter 2840: Roadblock
Even someone as unrelated as Tang Xiao had the courage to rush in, but as his disciple, she failed to react in time.
What a mockery this was.
The key was the letter Sheng Hongqian left her, which clearly told Ren Ning a fact.
So the master knew all along that she would make such a choice!
Yet the more it was so, the more she suffered, feeling she had let down Xue An’s nurturing.
After all, from their first meeting at the White Bone Temple until now, Xue An had given her countless amounts of help, even personally establishing her Foundation Establishment.
In the end, she failed at the critical moment.
These thoughts gnawed at her heart like venomous snakes; Ren Ning covered her mouth with her hand in pain, trying her best not to make any sound.
But at that moment, the door behind her was suddenly knocked on.
The knocking was so clear that all the muscles in Ren Ning’s body instantly tensed.
Yet she didn’t want to open the door, because she was all tears and felt embarrassed to see anyone.
So she leaned quietly against the door, holding her breath, hoping the person knocking would leave.
But the person was very patient, and after knocking for a while without a response, sighed gently.
"Miss Ren, I know you’re in there, and I also know you must be feeling very sad right now, but please do not blame yourself because the Young Master told me one thing when he gave me that letter!"
"He said that you have a pure heart and a kind nature, so after this happened it would certainly cause you grief, but he wanted you to remember, you are his disciple, so nothing can defeat you!
"The reason he didn’t take you away was to train you, so during his absence, you must be strong, and take responsibility as his disciple!"
The speaker was Sheng Hongqian.
This indeed was what Xue An had said when he handed her that letter.
She remembered the excitement and thrill when Xue An called her into the room.
At that time, she even thought her efforts had finally paid off, and she could finally belong to Xue An.
But she didn’t expect these matters to be what Xue An entrusted her with.
Initially, Sheng Hongqian was indifferent, but as Xue An explained, her expression became serious.
Because she knew exactly what these things meant.
But it wasn’t until she witnessed Shuming’s appearance at the general assembly that she realized how serious the situation was.
Yet the more it was so, the more she admired Xue An.
To be able to confront a top-level Evil God with mere fifth-grade strength, what immense courage he must have!
Hence, Sheng Hongqian dared not harbor any other thoughts about Xue An beyond respect.
Because she knew this was a man she could never attain.
The only thing she could do was to earnestly follow Xue An’s instructions.
Therefore, she handed the letter to Ren Ning.
Subsequent events indeed unfolded just as Xue An had predicted, and not only did the Qisi Poetry Society not make things difficult, but they also showed great respect.
And indeed, Ren Ning fell into self-blame, unable to extricate herself.
Thus, while being astonished by Xue An’s precise prediction, Sheng Hongqian came to convey what Xue An had instructed her to say.
After speaking, there was still no movement inside.
Sheng Hongqian stood quietly for a moment and finally sighed quietly, then turned to leave.
It was just then that the door creaked open.
Then she saw Ren Ning standing there, eyes red, staring directly at Sheng Hongqian.
"Miss Ren, did you hear everything?"
Ren Ning nodded, "Those words, are they indeed what the master said to you?"
Sheng Hongqian smiled wryly, "On such a matter, how would I dare to joke? Every word is true; the Young Master personally spoke them to me. If you don’t believe it, ask him when he returns!"
Ren Ning nodded again and then stepped out.
"Hey, Miss Ren, where are you going?"
"I’m hungry, going to eat something!"
With that, Ren Ning walked away vigorously.
Sheng Hongqian paused for a moment, then smiled, and quickly followed.
"I’m hungry too, let’s go together!"
Meanwhile, in the vast universe, Xue An and his group continued their journey.
Regardless of how powerful you are or how fast your speed is, before the vast and boundless universe, you will always appear exceedingly slow.
Xue An had already been flying non-stop for a whole day, and if calculated at an average speed, he’d have covered at least several billion kilometers.
Yet even over such an immense distance, the scenery ahead still showed no change.
It was still the same pitch-black void, still the same empty space.
Apart from a slight change in the angle of a few dim stars in the distance, there was almost no change.
This tedious flight soon made Tang Xiao restless.
This feeling of agitation intensified when she saw Tuan’er and Yun Lingxuan chattering endlessly around Xue An, even laughing occasionally, while she was left completely at the sidelines.
Although she also wanted to join the conversation, her last shred of self-esteem kept her from yielding.
Even so, she couldn’t help but prick up her ears to listen.
"Young Master, where are we going?" Tuan’er asked in a charming tone.
"Didn’t I say before, we’re going to find other fragments!"
"Oh! But we’ve flown for so long and haven’t found anything. Does that mean the fragments are really far away?"
"It shouldn’t be too far now, because that feeling is getting stronger!"
"Wow, that’s fantastic!"
Listening to Tuan’er’s words, Tang Xiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
This coquettish tone was enough to give anyone goosebumps.
The key was that the others seemed to enjoy it, smiling as they listened.
Just as Tang Xiao was brooding, suddenly a halo of light appeared in the distant void.
This light was very peculiar, different from the stars they had passed before, as it stretched across Xue An and the others like a huge wall.
The key was that Tang Xiao clearly remembered that just a second ago she hadn’t noticed any light whatsoever.
Which means this wall of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"What is this?"
Before Tang Xiao could speak, Tuan’er had already asked first.
Xue An remained calm, "It seems to be a boundary some forces use to demarcate their territory!"
"A boundary for demarcating territory? You mean this enormously vast void up ahead might be under the jurisdiction of certain forces?" Yun Lingxuan asked.
"Yes!"
Yun Lingxuan looked astonished.
To occupy such an expansive territory, how powerful must these forces be?
The key issue is, it suddenly appeared in their path. Is this a blessing or a curse?
As if in response to Yun Lingxuan’s thoughts, the light ahead started to quiver, and then two figures emerged from it.
