Chapter 817: I was Fated to Meet this Woman

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Under the setting Sun, the main entrance of the Wan Jian House was extremely clamorous.

Of course, rather than clamorous, the word, quarreling was more accurate.

Against a Heaven’s Favorite who just awakened the Eyes of the Falling Stars, any powerhouse would want to admit them as their own apprentice.

A Heaven’s Favorite like that is destined to achieve greatness in the future as long as no accidents happen.

Therefore, why wouldn’t the 12 peak leaders fight over her?

“Fight, fight, fight, you all only know how to fight! Back then, before Ling Xian was even admitted to the House, you all began to fight your heads off. Today, a genius with Inner Eyes appeared, and you are fighting over her!”

The leader for the Seek Sword Peak no longer cared about his graceful ways. Not only was he red in the face, but his hat had also fallen off, making his hair look extremely messy.

“No sh!t! If you are so great, don’t fight us!” The Clear Sword Peak Leader laughed in disdain.

“The Seek Sword Peak hasn’t gotten a genius for 100 years. I don’t care. I have to get this girl!”

The Seek Sword Peak Leader shouted and temporarily silenced the scene, “If I don’t, I will report to the Supreme Headmaster!”

Hearing this, many peak leaders rolled their eyes. It wasn’t that they didn’t think highly of Dao Wu Ji, it’s just that normally, the Headmaster doesn’t care for these kinds of things.

Therefore, the group continued to argue. All of them were red in the face and thick in the neck. They even almost engaged in a physical fight.

Based on the situation, before long, they will have to solve this problem with a physical battle.

This made the young girl beside them widen her eyes. Other than fear in her eyes, there was surprise.

She never thought there would come a day when she would awaken the Eyes of the Falling Stars. She definitely did not think that there would a group of major figures fighting after her.

Remember that just a few hours ago, she was an ordinary mortal who had resorted to climbing the Stairway to Heaven in hope of getting into the Wan Jian House. Plus, she thought of herself as useless trash who had no right to cultivate.

But now, all of a sudden, not only was she a Heaven’s Favorite, but she has also attracted the interest of many important figures!

Therefore, why wouldn’t she feel surprised?

All of this was because of Ling Xian.

If it weren’t for him, the woman would’ve gone hopeless or maybe accidentally fallen off the Stairway to Heaven. She never would’ve achieved the level of glory she has now.

“The person who changed my course of destiny.”

Thinking about that gentleman and everything he’s done to get her justice, the young girl couldn’t help but lose herself. Hundreds of different emotions filled her head.

There was shock, happiness, and shame.

When she remembered how she gave him the cold shoulder and accused him of being a bad person, the young girl’s face burned from embarrassment.

“Back then, I thought he was a nobody and looked at him like he was a moron. I said he was not a powerhouse and he was not a good person. Not only did he not mind, he even acquired justice for me and helped me activate the Inner Eyes. He transformed me from a fish to a dragon.”

The young girls’ face was full of shame. Thinking about that man made her lose herself.

Just then, the 12 peak leaders entered the climax of their heated discussion. Spit filled the air, curse words were being spoken one after another. They have all forgotten about their important statuses.

The air was fueled with heavy ammunition.

This was enough to prove just how talented she was. Being a powerhouse was something that will for sure happen. Therefore, of course, these leaders would give up everything to get her.

“Bullsh!t! You are all full of sh!t!”

The Seek Sword Leader’s face was red and his neck was thick, “One is promising treasures, the other promising spiritual medicine. I don’t care. She will end up going under my wing!”

“F!ck you son of a b!tch! Just because you said it it will happen? The entire Wan Jian House knows you are the poorest peak! Admitting into your peak will not promise a great future!”

The Hidden Peak Leader got angry as well. No longer caring about his image, he cursed.

“F!ck off now! The Hidden Peak is not a good place either.”

The Battle Sword Peak chuckled carelessly and glanced at the young girl happily, “Young girl, come to the Battle Sword Peak. I promise to train you until you are a great powerhouse.”

Before the young girl could answer, the Slay Sword Peak Leader interrupted.

“You are going to raise her until she is a manly man! All of you from the Battle Sword Peak are rough old men! If this young girl goes, your hungry and thirsty descendants will eat her alive.”

“Bullsh!t! If she comes to the Battle Sword Peak, she will be everyone’s favorite junior sister! Who would dare touch her?”

The Battle Peak Leader was not happy, “If she goes to the Slay Sword Peak, you will train her until she is a crazy murderer!”

“I dare you to say that again.” The Slay Peak Leader raised an eyebrow. The sword he carried on his back left its sheath by three inches. The temperature in the room dropped immediately.

“I am saying what I am saying. You think I am scared of you?”

The Battle Peak Leader shouted, if this was any other day, he wouldn’t dare to do this. But to win over this girl, he was willing to give up everything.

“Hmmph, I am currently in training. After I am done, I will teach you a lesson.” The Slay Sword Leader hissed but did not attack.

This made the Battle Peak Leader laugh and he reentered the fight.

Spit once again filled the air, ugly words came out in passages, the different peak leaders argued and almost got into a fistfight. Their behavior made this place look like a trade market, not at all a place where people of status meet.

Just then, a spiritual paper flew by, attracting the Seek Sword Leader’s gaze.

“Hmm?”

The studious looking man frowned. After one wave, the spiritual paper landed in his hand. He read it.

After he read the last sentence on the piece of paper, he was stunned. Then, he couldn’t help but bitterly laugh.

“Aye, oh well.”

After a long sigh, the studious looking man clapped his hand, “Everyone, silence please. This woman is not destined to be ours.”

What did that mean?

What did it mean that she is not destined to be theirs?

Everyone looked puzzled. As the 12 peak leaders of the Wan Jian House, who dares to fight over apprentices against them?

After that, the studious man passed the paper to the Hidden Peak Leader, who was closest to him, “You all, read it.”

After taking over the paper, the Hidden Peak Leader froze for a second before his expression revealed bitterness. Then, he passed around this paper until everyone read it.

Without exception, after everyone read what it said, they all revealed a bitter smile.

“Oh well, since he has spoken, then we have to give up.”

“Though I don’t want to, I have to do this for him.”

“Aye, I wonder how strong he has gotten. He was already stronger than us 10 years ago. For this young woman to follow him means she will be stronger than us as well.”

“That’s right. Though I do not want to, us combined cannot win against him.”

Everyone chimed in. They looked at the girl with pity before fleeting away.

The spiritual paper landed on the ground.

The young girl was a little startled. The group was arguing with such heat and were all acting like they wouldn’t give up. But why did they just turn around and leave?

She didn’t know the reason but she knew the problem lies on that spiritual paper. Therefore, she softly stepped forward and picked up the spiritual paper.

Then she froze.

There was only one statement on there. One statement that determined her destiny.

“I, Ling Xian, was fated to meet this woman.”
