Path Of The Lilies 286 It's Already Enough

Rustle! Swis.h.!.+

"That's quite a battle!" Lu Wan yelled with a grin plastered all over his face. Seeing the king in that state made him feel elated. After all, he never liked that annoying man before.

Qi Huan stopped not far from Lu Wan. "As the one who volunteered for this plan, I have to say that you're not bad at all."

"Of course, I'm the best!"

"The best? Make sure that you don't screw up next time first."

Lu Wan smiled sheepishly. It was not like he wanted to screw up in the first place, but he just couldn't help it when he was faced against those people. His emotion was still unstable whenever he thought about what they had done.

"At the very least, they won't be able to chase after us now," Ye Jiao also arrived in the forest. She was the last one to arrive because her battle also ended the last. Afterwards, she focused on getting out through the gate without caring for anything anymore.

"I'm surprised that the Lu Family didn't make a move at all. It shouldn't take that long for Eon Energy Master Rank 4 to reach the palace."

"They might be busy," Lu Wan shrugged.

Qi Huan eyed the young man before him suspiciously. "It seems that you know something, Lu Wan. Mind sharing whatever you know?"

"I don't know anything."

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Then you're stupid."

"…"

Seeing that Lu Wan already got the urge to fight against Qi Huan, Ye Jiao shook her head. Somehow, the three of them could never get along perfectly because of the differences in their personalities. Of course, one way or another, they managed to stay together and worked flawlessly.

Qi Huan flicked his glance to Ye Jiao. "Did you kill him?"

"No," Ye Jiao pursed her lips.

"Why not?"

"There's no time and chance," Ye Jiao shrugged. Even if she wanted to, she needed the strength to accomplish it. The poison that Lu Wan made would only be lethal if they were against those at rank 3 or below. Above it, the lethality rate would decrease a lot because of his limitation.

As for her own strength, she has done everything she could in the battle. When she noticed the building started to collapse, she knew that her time was up. There was no more time for her to finish Chen Tian and ended his life.

"You will have another chance in the future," Lu Wan grinned. "When you become extremely powerful, they don't have a choice but to look up at you. Isn't that kind of scene interesting?"

Seeing their opponent bowed down to them?

Of course, it would be extremely satisfying.

Ye Jiao smiled slightly. She did want to see that, but she knew that it wouldn't be possible. Once she got out of this place, she never had any intention to return back anymore. This was the reason why she tried to settle all her grudges as fast as possible.

If not because of that, she might have left this place much sooner because of a certain person's offer in the past.

"This is already enough."

"Ah?" Lu Wan nearly stumbled into the nearby roots in front of him. He looked at Ye Jiao in disbelief. Was she truly the same person who tried to do everything she could just to enter the Wei Family residence to make chaos in that place? Why did he find her statement to be slightly lacking?

Not only him, even Qi Huan also looked at Ye Jiao with questions all over his face. "It's unusual to hear you give up so easily."

"I'm not giving up, I'm just letting it go," Ye Jiao rolled her eyes. "I'm going to become a powerful martial artist, so I'll surely leave this place behind. I don't have any intention to return back here because I want to put my past away."

Even if she tried to make their lives miserable, she didn't want to do it at the cost of her own future. She had already lost everyone dear to her because of them, so she did many things to make sure that they paid for that. Now that the time was almost up, she no longer wanted to pursue her revenge.

It was enough.

Chen Tian wouldn't be able to recover unless he used some kind of miracle drug. And their cost would surely be extremely big.

Wei Family was in shambles because of what she did and their own greed. There was no need for her to interfere further because they would surely destroy themselves if they continued this way.

"I don't want to only put revenge in my life," Ye Jiao looked to the front. "I want to achieve my dream, and I'm sure that my parents will understand my decision."

She wanted them to pay her back for what they had done to her parents and her. Besides, she knew that they were still chasing after her, hoping to catch her from those missions they posted. If not because she could disguise herself, she would have long died in their hands.

However, she didn't want to pursue revenge for her entire life. It was simply not worth it to trade everything just for the sake of revenge. Besides, they wouldn't be able to meddle with her life anymore when she got out of this place. Their path would no longer connect with one another.

A chain of revenge needed one party to sever it to stop. And Ye Jiao would no longer pursue them unless they continued to bother her in the future. 

Right now, Ye Jiao felt calm and free.

Qi Huan looked at the clear expression of the girl as he slowly smiled too. It was a completely different smile from his polite smile as it seemed genuine from the bottom of his heart.

"You're right. You shouldn't abandon your own future just because of those petty people," Qi Huan stopped in front of a small waterfall. "There's a cave over there. Let's rest up a bit. I'm sure you two still need to deal with the poison, plus our Eon Energy consumption was quite large."

"Alright."

Lu Wan was still looking at Ye Jiao with confusion. If it was him, he would surely make sure that those people paid much more. However, he too understood that he didn't have any intention to return back anymore once he left this place.

Besides, he had already destroyed his sister's future and also that imperial family's palace.

The three of them sat down in the cave and started to do their circulation. Time pa.s.sed swiftly as they rested and cleared their mind. It took them a long time before they managed to recover to their peak condition.

Qi Huan was the first to open his eyes.

'This battle also helps me to gain an insight into the water element. I'm sure this will be useful once I reach rank 4.'

Rank 4.

These two words alone were more than enough to push a lot of people in the four kingdoms into a frenzy. They all hoped that they would be able to reach this rank in their lives. A rank that many people were unable to achieve because of their state of mind.

He looked over to Ye Jiao. Even though it was brief, he was sure that this little girl had started to build up her own mind about her path as a martial artist. That small conversation he had with her proved that she would surely reach Eon Energy Master Rank 4. She is ruthless yet at the same time, she still knew when to stop and didn't let herself completely blinded by hatred.

'She has started to mature. I too, can't be left behind.'

"Have you finished, Senior Brother Qi?"

While he was pondering, Ye Jiao had finished her training too. She had completely digested the poison into her body, making the immunity to a greater number of poison. At the same time, she also made sure to fill her core with much more Eon Energy.

Qi Huan smiled. "Yes. How's your feeling?"

"It just feels a bit lighter, but nothing different than usual. I'm still in early rank 3," Ye Jiao sighed. "It'll surely take a long time for me to reach rank 4."

At this moment, Qi Huan's lips twitched a bit. Come to think about it, this little la.s.s has just reached rank 3 but she had already started to consolidate her mind. Does it mean she wouldn't face any barrier when she wanted to advance to rank 4?

How unfair…

"Senior Brother Qi?" Ye Jiao noticed that her senior brother's expression seemed off.

"It's nothing," Qi Huan coughed. "More importantly, have you seen the advisor of Chen Kingdom before you left the palace?"

The moment her senior brother mentioned that man, Ye Jiao's gaze hardened.
