Gong Qi seemed to have noticed that Gong San was holding back beneath her sword. With a turn of her thoughts, she actually sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to comprehend.
Seeing this, Gong San could not help gritting her teeth.
Gong Qi always had this ability—to make one's "friendly" attitude crumble in an instant.
Gong Qi knew nothing of Gong San's inner changes.
When Gong San's aura weakened, she vaguely guessed that besides her duty as an examiner, Gong San probably had some other task on her shoulders.
That made sense. Since Gong Shaojun had dared let Gong Qi stay alone with Gong San, she had naturally left herself a backup plan.
Gong Qi's earlier speculation had merely been a way to entertain herself.
Realizing that Gong San would not take her life and had even held back at crucial moments, Gong Qi immediately pushed her luck.
Sitting cross-legged in meditation was one thing, but she even withdrew her sword intent barrier.
The instant Gong San saw Blood Lingering slash toward Gong Qi's forehead, she truly panicked for a moment. She instantly gave an order, stopping Blood Lingering from continuing downward in time.
The blood-colored longsword halted an inch from Gong Qi's brow.
Seeing Gong Qi still meditating with a calm face, Gong San immediately felt fury surge to her head.
Was Gong Qi relying on the fact that she could not do anything to her?
Angry as she was, once her anger passed, Gong San really could not do anything to Gong Qi.
With a flick of her wrist, she recalled Blood Lingering. The sword souls formed from tens of thousands of longswords behind her instantly scattered into nothing.
The killing intent filling the sky slowly dissipated.
Immersed in enlightenment, Gong Qi was not very sensitive
