Seeing the sinister smile that should not have belonged to Ancestor Xuanming, Qin Jishi's expression shifted.
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
He had never been able to fathom the other party's actions.
Ancestor Xuanming had been able to snatch Zhang Shiqing away from the Ice Phoenix Realm without anyone noticing, which was enough to prove his formidable strength.
At the very least, in Qin Jishi's judgment, Leng Yan was no match for him.
What exactly did such a powerful being want?
At those words!
Ancestor Xuanming still wore that sinister smile. "Qin Jishi, I told you not to rush. The audience has arrived; the good show will naturally begin."
Once he finished speaking, Ancestor Xuanming said nothing more and simply savored his fragrant tea.
"Qin Jishi, why are you here? Leave quickly."
At this moment, Zhang Shiqing came before him, her tone urging.
"Go. This person is far too strange. He will definitely harm you."
"Go, now!!"
Ancestor Xuanming did not stop them, allowing the two of them to speak freely.
It felt as if he were deliberately giving them time.
"Shi... Shiqing... wh... what exactly is going on?"
"Qin Jishi, we can talk about that later." Zhang Shiqing grew increasingly anxious. "Listen to me and leave immediately. The farther you go, the better."
Ancestor Xuanming made Zhang Shiqing feel extremely endangered.
To put it bluntly, that danger filled her with deep fear.
Though he had not made his stance clear, everything about him invisibly pointed toward Qin Jishi.
"No!"
Facing Zhang Shiqing's urging, Qin Jishi shook his head. "I will not leave."
"Shiqing!"
"No matter what his purpose is, I will not leave."
Qin Jishi's eyes were filled with resolve, completely unmoved.
"Hehe! You two truly are deeply devoted to each other."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
