Chapter 108: Cultivating in secret for half a year

Yu Jing Qiu had thought that Xue Ying was already dead. However, the truth was now in front of her. He had not died, but had already become a Transcendent. He would now be undergoing his Transcendent Battle of Life and Death in half a year.

She had always held some special feelings towards Xue Ying. The moment when she was in absolute despair, that figure of a black-robed youth protecting her from the collapsing stone slate and giving her a sense of safety, was something that she could not forget. But she was an extremely powerful and intelligent mage, not a lovestruck child. She had not fallen head over heels in love with Xue Ying due to that event. Yet Xue Ying had long ago left a deep brand in her heart.

"You said Dong Bo Xue Ying? He did not die?" Yu Jing Qiu immediately clarified, "Did you hear wrongly?"

"Dead? He didn’t die." The young maiden replied in a voice full of confusion.
