Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1869

The moment the sect elder noticed Ren Xia’s abnormal reaction, her instincts flared. Without hesitation, she moved swiftly to Ren Xia’s side, her expression sharp with vigilance.

In a single motion, she drew her weapon, the cold gleam of her blade reflecting the gentle light of the cherry blossoms.

She leveled the tip of the sword directly at Tian Yang, her voice filled with suspicion and authority. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

"Who are you?!"

Her stance was unwavering, her aura surging as she prepared for any possible threat.

Before Tian Yang could even react, Ren Xia swiftly intervened.

She reached out and pressed her hand firmly on the sect elder’s, forcing the blade to lower.

"It’s okay," she said, her voice calm but still shaky. "He’s nobody suspicious. Can you give us some privacy?"

The sect elder’s eyes flickered with hesitation. Ren Xia’s reaction had been far from normal, and now she was suddenly vouching for this stranger?

After a brief moment of tension, the sect elder reluctantly sheathed her sword, though her sharp gaze remained locked onto Tian Yang.

"…As you wish, Lady Ren."

With that, she stepped away, though it was clear she wouldn’t go far.

Now, only Tian Yang and Ren Xia remained beneath the cherry blossom tree.

Once Ren Xia had full control over her emotions again, she sat back down and spoke, "Is it really you?"

Tian Yang sat down and calmly responded, "Two weeks."

His answer to her question was the exact amount of time it took him to learn the technique.

"I see… So it really is you…"

Ren Xia’s voice was soft. She exhaled slowly, as if releasing a weight she hadn’t realized she was carrying.

"How long has it been since then? I thought you would never make it out of that place alive."

She had never expected to see him again after learning about his situation with the Immortal Clans, and yet… here he was.

However, Tian Yang ignored her question and went straight to the topic, "I didn’t come here to reminisce. Kulas. What happened to him after I entered the mountain? Where is he now?"

Ren Xia’s body trembled again after being reminded of someone she’d forced herself to forget.

"Sorry, but I do not know."

"Do you really expect me to believe that?" Tian Yang frowned.

"Why do you expect me to know?"

"Because you’re his fiancee."

"Ex-fiancee. We broke our engagement at the tomb. Did you forget?"

"That doesn’t mean anything, nor does it change the fact that your clans are close enough to engage the two of you. There’s no way you wouldn’t know about his situation."

Ren Xia let out a quiet sigh, her gaze drifting slightly as if recalling a distant memory.
