Chapter 269.1: Meeting for the First Time, It’s Just Great

She had thought that he was killed during Qing Tian Lin’s secret nefarious plot back then.

That was because when she came to regain consciousness, Lou Jun Yao had also told her about a few things, including….. the fact that Xi Zhan Chen was actually one of Qing Tian Lin’s men.

But back when they were in the Fleeting Cloud Fortress, the man had not been with Qing Tian Lin at all, and had even done everything he could to protect the people around him from falling to harm.

After she had fallen off the cliff, she heard that Xi Zhan Chen had searched for her for a very long time, remaining below the Fleeting Cloud Fortress for a good two weeks.

Never had she thought that they would come to next meet here in Cloud Heaven.

She had always known this man to be anything but ordinary. One who possessed the bloodline of the Snake Tribe, a divine level a.s.sa.s.sin in the Constellation Lands. He would seldom take on missions, but whenever he did, they were always of a highly difficult level, missions that were deemed to be completely impossible by others.

The man was able to come and go out of the White Fens Land as he pleased because his cultivation had exceeded the level of the realm, but it was unexpected that he was able to enter Cloud Heaven as well.

Lou Jun Yao had mentioned that one would need to pa.s.s through a special dimensional tunnel in order to come to Cloud Heaven and there were many unknown dangers within that tunnel. Without sufficiently strong cultivation powers or people whose will was not strong enough, they would only end up being killed in there.

Within that dimensional tunnel, the wretched remains of countless adventurers laid all around, people who had jumped into something way over their heads, seeking to discover what this highest level realm was like.

And for what purpose had Xi Zhan Chen come to this place?

Too many questions swirled within Qing Yu’s head and before she could even open her mouth to ask anything, Xi Zhan Chen suddenly said in a low voice: “I’m sorry.”

She stood stunned in her spot, unable to react, and she came to find herself being wrapped in the man’s embrace.

Qing Yu instinctively wanted to struggle, but Xi Zhan Chen had already released her at that very same moment, and his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e as he said: “Everything’s good as long as you are fine.”

After saying that, Xi Zhan Chen then put the human skin mask back over his face once again. Without another word, he turned himself around and slowly departed from there.

Leaving Qing Yu to stand there quietly as she watched him leave, her body not moving an inch for a long while.

What was that all about?

Since he has already revealed his ident.i.ty to her, why did he then leave without saying a single word?

Was it because he just wanted to see her?

But….. Why? Is he hiding some difficulty inside that he is not able to tell her……

“Was he someone you know?” Chi Yue opened her mouth to ask.

“Mm. A friend.” Qing Yu lowered her eyes and answered indifferently. “But I do not know why he had come to join the Hunters Guild.”
