Chapter 512: The Person Ling Xiang Doesn’t Want to See (1)
Qing You was dumbfounded; she really didn’t know that Ling Xiang also had a name, Ling Xuexi.
"Then, then what should we do now?" Qing You stammered.
Han Jing had been so focused on his worries earlier that he forgot that with Master present, he wouldn’t let that maid go out alone: "Where’s my Master?"
"Oh, Master Ghost Ancestor has already gone to chase. I’m worried that if he’s alone, he might head in the wrong direction... So I came to find you. Why don’t we split up and chase?" Qing You quickly suggested.
Hearing that Master Ghost Ancestor had already gone to chase, Han Jing sighed in relief: "If my Master is chasing, then it will be fine. That maid is clever; she carries a Ghost Fragrance Butterfly with her. The butterfly emits a unique scent that people can’t smell, but other similar butterflies can sense it. So my Master only needs to follow the direction indicated by the butterfly to catch up. Now, I’m just worried Ling Xiang will take her to Lingyou Hall, so we should go and check it out!"
They currently didn’t know where Ling Xiang would take Xiao Xue. If he took her elsewhere, it would be fine, because Ling Xiang wouldn’t know Xiao Xue’s identity and wouldn’t harm a child. Even in the worst-case scenario, if Ling Xiang did cause Xiao Xue harm, it might not turn out as he intended.
Speaking of which, that maid is a bit lazy and doesn’t like cultivation, but her abilities are really unprecedented to the point that even she doesn’t know how to describe it. It’s hard to tell whether it’s a blessing or a curse.
Lan Ling nodded: "We need to hurry. As long as Ling Xiang doesn’t take Xiao Xue to Lingyou Hall, she won’t be in danger! Although Ling Xiang is a bit detestable, he wouldn’t harm a child!"
"I’ll go tell An’an to stay here and watch, so if they come back, she can notify us immediately." Han Jing responded as he quickly went to instruct An Chuxue before leaving the Ghost Realm with Lan Ling and Qing You, following the direction indicated by the butterfly.

The place Ling Xiang intended to take Xiao Xue wasn’t Lingyou Hall, but the Wengshan Sect, which wasn’t very far from Ghost Immortal Town. The Wengshan Sect is located within Weng Mountain; it gets its name because from a distance, it resembles a giant wine urn. The Wengshan Sect is situated within this enormous urn-shaped structure.
Tomorrow there would be a Nine Sects Sword Debate at the Wengshan Sect. The reason he appeared in Ghost Immortal Town was that he had brought Lingyou Hall’s disciples to participate in the sword debate. He never had much interest in these events, so after delegating tasks to the team leader senior, he went out.
The person he wanted to introduce Xiao Xue to was someone he didn’t really want to see.
This was someone whom every time he saw in recent years, he’d feel depressed and particularly troubled.
No one else but his nemesis, Su Yunpeng.
They should have known each other for a long time. He had always been obsessed with martial arts and was exceptionally gifted. In their generation, no one could match him until Su Yunpeng appeared. He shattered all his myths like a legend.
His biological mother even became his stepmother.
But that doesn’t matter; he didn’t care about having another woman or even another man in the family. It didn’t matter to him. Since the day his mother died, having a family or a father wasn’t that important anymore.
