Chapter 376: Chapter 375 Farewell
Ji Roufeng came out blushing.
As she did, she also helped close the door.
After a while...
Wang Qingya and Su Huanqing, both of whom hadn’t even had time for a shower and were wrapped up tightly, slowly walked out.
Their faces and bodies were clean, but the stuff clinging to their hair just wouldn’t come off, making them look like two madwomen, yet their stunning beauty was still unmistakable.
If anything, after the touch of love, their rosy and charming faces looked even more adorable.
"I’m sorry, I should have thought of it earlier."
Ji Roufeng apologized guiltily, saying, "Xu Tongxue is about to leave. Before a man leaves, it’s reasonable and rational to do something intimate with his close friends as a farewell... It’s nothing unusual, just like when Li Lei and he drink together; it’s just that the form of farewell differs between men and women. I’m sorry... it’s my fault..."
As she apologized, her face grew increasingly red.
She saw it all, everything.
For a young lady like her, witnessing such things was truly overwhelming.
It was only then that Ji Roufeng understood what Tomorrow had previously asked about their relationship.
Could it be he was hoping I’d end up like this with Su Tongxue?
It’s so... mortifying...
He’s so disgraceful, I’ll scold him when I get back.
..................
In the end, the talk about marriage, marrying her or whatever, naturally came to nothing.
It sounded like they were cursing Xu Lingjun not to return.
But Xu Lingjun, in front of her, pinned her number to the top.
He gently said, "It’s possible I won’t be able to contact you at the Polar Star Battlefield, but it doesn’t matter... When I return, I will inform you of my safety as soon as I can, and keep in touch often. Let’s video chat frequently, shall we?"
Ji Roufeng stared blankly at Xu Lingjun.
She had already added Xu Lingjun’s number through Li Lei.
But in fact, in the past two years, he had never contacted her.
She had clicked on his number countless times, yet she never dared to call.
And now, his actions...
At this moment, she felt touched.
It had always been her approaching him, but now, he was finally taking a step toward her.
Even if it was just one step, that one step touched Ji Roufeng, who had taken 999 steps, so deeply she almost cried... She felt that taking the remaining 9,000 steps alone was no problem.
"Of course, rest assured, I certainly won’t die."
Xu Lingjun smiled and said, "I have full confidence in my survival skills. During the chaos in Qingzhou years ago, though my power was weak, I was not even injured. We haven’t fully understood each other yet, so you don’t know how tough my life is... but you can ask Sister Yaya, oh right, Teacher Su knows too."
Su Huanqing rolled her eyes at Xu Lingjun, even though they were in this sort of relationship, he still kept calling her Teacher Su, it felt like he was teasing her.
Meanwhile, Wang Qingya nodded repeatedly, only to suddenly feel something was off halfway through.
She glared at Xu Lingjun, thinking he was taking advantage of her again.
Yet she couldn’t help but feel both shy and delighted inside.
With Xu Lingjun’s assurance, Ji Roufeng felt relieved.
In fact... she was also about to return to the sect soon.
With departure imminent.
She thick-skinnedly stayed, just to spend a little more time talking with Xu Lingjun and to deepen her impression in his memory.
Indeed, she had previously suffered from overthinking and not daring to act...
Otherwise, back when he was still a student, she could have just pounced on him. As someone who wasn’t even a Qi Gathering reserve martial artist, could he have resisted me?
But dragging it out until now, I can’t beat him anymore.
Ji Roufeng felt a bit sad.
So, when Li Lei arrived with big bags of fruit and milk gifts, calling out, "Old Xu, open the door, I’m here to say goodbye, I’m heading back to the sect... specifically to say farewell to Teacher Wang, no, sister-in-law, and you, of course."
As Xu Lingjun opened the door.
What he saw was Ji Roufeng sitting closely side-by-side with Wang Qingya.
And beside them... was a very beautiful woman drying her wet hair, seemingly having just finished bathing.
Ah, this is the Old Xu I imagined.
Always hanging out with men, what kind of skill is that? Wasting such a face.
Looking as he does, he should be in the midst of women.
But why is Senior Sister here?
Li Lei stared blankly at Ji Roufeng, suddenly recalling how Master Liu told him over a phone call saying Senior Sister was arranging special training for him. Making a person who practices inner cultivation martial arts exhaust themselves with Body Forging...
Could it be, was it discovered?
He vaguely felt like he had grasped the truth.
"What’s up, Leizi, why do you look so grim?"
Xu Lingjun warmly took the milk gift from his hands and stuffed it behind the door, laughing, "You’re already here, what’s with the gifts, so polite... don’t do it next time. Just in time, your Senior Sister is also here, I’ve spoken to her, she’ll look after you more in the future. I’m not one of the Sun and Moon Bright Sect, but with your Senior Sister here, it’s no different than with me. If you need anything, reach out to her."
"That’s right, you can ask me for guidance."
Ji Roufeng smiled sweetly and said, "Though I’ve been looking out for you before, it wasn’t legitimate, but now... I can openly take care of you."
Seeing Li Lei, she felt a rush of anger rising, even the peculiar scent on Wang Qingya couldn’t distract her anymore.
She laughed, "For Xu Tongxue’s sake, I’ll make sure you’re not left too far behind by Xu Tongxue. You guys are good friends, after all."
"Well... I... I just came to visit you... and say goodbye as well..."
Seeing the truth, Li Lei looked at Xu Lingjun with eyes full of a desperate will to survive.
Help, Dad.
This Senior Sister is too proactive, I hadn’t even had time to introduce, and she already brought herself over.
...............
After the conferment ceremony ended.
Each sect had to return to their respective territories, and Ji Roufeng came partly to confess and seek status, partly to say farewell.
Not staying long, she bade Li Lei to leave with her.
Before leaving, she specifically gifted Xu Lingjun two pieces of jade pendant.
"These are from Sect Leader Shibo for you."
Ji Roufeng sweetly smiled, seemingly a little amused, and said, "Shibo doesn’t know how to face you either, because in terms of seniority he has to call you Shishu, and must show disciple respect before you, so he entrusted me with this... Each jade pendant contains an attack of over seventy percent of his power, as for the usage, you should be familiar with it."
"Please thank Sect Leader of Tomorrow for me, and take good care of yourself."
"Mm."
Ji Roufeng hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage to hold Xu Lingjun’s hand earnestly, "I will miss you, so be sure to contact me first thing when you’re safe."
"Rest assured, I will."
Xu Lingjun thought for a moment and then proactively wrapped an arm around her neck, lightly kissing her on the lips.
He said, "Take care!"
Ji Roufeng left reluctantly, turning back with every few steps.
And behind her, Li Lei already looked upon Xu Lingjun with admiration, willing to stir up other women right in front of his main wife... as expected of Old Xu.
Why did I ever have the wrong idea that Old Xu preferred men’s company?
He’s long since quietly won over scores of confidantes, all getting along harmoniously as sisters.
With such thoughts, they went further.
When Xu Lingjun’s figure was out of sight, Li Lei then grinned and said, "Senior Sister, how does Old Xu’s kiss taste?"
"What are you babbling about?"
Ji Roufeng felt a sense of delight, and hearing Li Lei’s words, she hummed lightly, "It’s just a farewell kiss between friends, very normal."
"Old Xu’s was quite a normal farewell kiss, but I saw you sneak a tongue."
"Impossible, I was so quick... no... I didn’t..."
Ji Roufeng fiercely glared at Li Lei.
"Even if you did, it’s normal. Sister-in-law... You and Brother Xu make a perfect pair, seeing you together, I’m really happy for you both."
"Yes, but it’s thanks to your efforts, not for naught all those years I’ve looked after you."
Ji Roufeng looked at Li Lei, her face showing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Li Lei: "..............."
