Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 407 - 384 Liu Hongxue’s Decision_2

"I didn’t mean that. What I meant was for everyone to leave together. We face this together..." Liu Hongxue tried to explain.

But she was interrupted rudely by Liu Zhuoyan, "No need to say more! Hongxue! It’s true that I am entrusted by our clan leader. However... I also have the right to make my own decisions! Now you have two choices. One is to make them obey and scout ahead. The second is to leave this team and go with them!"

There was both anger and mockery in Liu Zhuoyan’s eyes.

"Does it have to be this way?" asked Liu Hongxue again.

"Yes!" Liu Zhuoyan nodded, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Fine!" Liu Hongxue nodded, "In that case, I’ll leave! I will leave this team and go with Qin Qing and the others!"

Liu Hongxue’s words made all of the disciples from The Liu Clan stunned, Liu Zhuoyan included. He seemed to have never anticipated that Liu Hongxue would make such a decision.

In fact, when he had spoken about kicking Liu Hongxue out of the team, it was said in the heat of the moment.

The direct cause was still because Qin Qing and the other two had talked back to him, which greatly displeased Liu Zhuoyan.

In his view, Qin Qing and his companions were just hanger-ons following them; if it weren’t for The Liu Clan, Qin Qing and his friends would probably not even have been able to reach Sword Valley, and yet, when given an opportunity, they had defied him.

And now, Liu Hongxue’s words were like pouring fuel on the fire!

"Good, good, good!" Liu Zhuoyan said the word ’good’ three times, "Hongxue, you want to leave our team! This is your decision!"

Then, Liu Zhuoyan turned to the people beside him and said, "Brothers, our trip to Sword Pavilion isn’t just for Liu Hongxue. We also want to find our own fortunes!"

"That’s right! Zhuo’s right!" The person next to Liu Zhuoyan immediately echoed.

"Everyone, past Sword Valley, we will be able to enter Sword Forest! It’s rumored that in Sword Forest, there is a Sword Spirit Tree that bears Sword Fruit! If one can get the Sword Fruit, everyone should be clear about what that means!" Liu Zhuoyan spoke loudly again.

"Now, you all can decide for yourselves, whether to continue following me or follow her!" Liu Zhuoyan pointed towards Liu Hongxue.

Without a doubt.

Liu Hongxue’s departure from the team would cause some to waver in their thoughts.

After all, not everyone shared Liu Zhuoyan’s mindset. Some had a relationship with Liu Hongxue that was out of the ordinary.

Or perhaps, some were originally arranged to come by Liu Chaoxian.

Now, Liu Zhuoyan simply wanted to extract such individuals from the team.

After Liu Zhuoyan finished speaking, only two people stepped forward from the team.

"Sister Hongxue, I will go with you."

Both individuals were women; one of them had a pretty face with twin ponytails. She walked over to stand beside Liu Hongxue, looking indignant.

"Little Ling, thank you!" Liu Hongxue looked at the girl and nodded appreciatively.

This young girl was named Liu Ling, and Liu Hongxue was usually quite decent towards her.

But what Liu Hongxue didn’t expect was that there were a few others in the team, towards whom she had also been quite generous, including a woman named Liu Qian, whose life Liu Hongxue had once saved.

Moreover, the two got along well on normal days, often exchanging gifts and confiding in each other.

On Liu Hongxue’s last birthday, Liu Qian had even given her a very valuable gift.

But at this moment, Liu Qian did not step forward.

And faced with Liu Hongxue’s gaze, Liu Qian actually dodged away, averting her eyes.

As for the two who did step forward, aside from Liu Ling, the other was named Liu Huang.

This was unexpected for Liu Hongxue!

She didn’t have much of a relationship with Liu Huang, and they even had a dispute over Spiritual Treasure Pavilion matters, which resulted in Liu Huang losing her status as an elder of the Pavilion.

Liu Huang was a very gifted individual, and her strength was among the very best within her Realm.

"Sister Hongxue, I stepped forward because I think you’re right. I admire your attitude towards friends!" said Liu Huang to Liu Hongxue.

Liu Hongxue couldn’t help but smile faintly and nodded her head.

"Liu Huang, I had some misunderstandings about you in the past! That matter, in fact, I later went and cleared things up. You were not to blame!" Liu Hongxue said.

Liu Huang shrugged indifferently, "If the past is already behind us, then there’s no need to bring it up again!"

Liu Hongxue couldn’t help but smile again.

At this time, the Liu Qian she had once saved did not stand up for her, but instead, Liu Huang, with whom she had past grievances, stood by her side.

Perhaps this is the nature of people’s hearts.

Time reveals a person’s heart.

Sometimes, only at critical moments can you see who truly cares for you!

"How absurd!" Liu Zhuoyan shook his head upon seeing this scene. "Liu Hongxue, do you know what you are about to lose because of your impulsiveness?"

"You need not worry about that!" Liu Hongxue responded.

"Qin Qing, let’s go!" she turned to look at Qin Qing.

Qin Qing grinned.

"Hongxue, it seems I’ve caused you trouble again!" Qin Qing said with a smile.

"It’s hardly any trouble! What’s missing is just the chance for the Sword Pond’s baptism. If it’s gone, it’s gone!" Liu Hongxue was very open-minded.

"Hahaha..." Qin Qing laughed. He appreciated Liu Hongxue’s attitude, and perhaps it was precisely because of this that the two could become close and good friends.

"Hongxue, you’ve helped me time and again, always standing by my side. I, Qin Qing, have no way to repay you. So this time, I, Qin Qing, will do everything I can to help you get the chance for the Sword Pond’s baptism!"

No sooner had Qin Qing’s words ended than the people by Liu Zhuoyan’s side let out sneers of ridicule, "How laughable, you think you can get Liu Hongxue into the Sword Cleansing Celestial Pond?"

"Exactly!" Another person chimed in: "Without us, you wouldn’t even know how you died... yet you dream of entering the Sword Cleansing Celestial Pond!"

"We’ll just wait and see the joke unfold!"

These people of the Liu Clan, one by one, wore faces of mockery, none of them believing that Qin Qing and Liu Hongxue’s group could have the chance to enter the Celestial Pond.

"Let’s go, no need to waste words with these people!"

Qin Qing merely smiled lightly.

He did not like to flaunt his prowess in a war of words.

Speaking with facts was the most powerful rebuttal!

"Hmm!"

Liu Hongxue nodded.

The team had now turned into six people.

Qin Qing, Cang Yuan, Zhu Linglong, Liu Hongxue, Liu Huang, and Liu Ling.

The six of them stepped into Sword Valley, and soon, fog began to rise around them.

"Follow me, do not stray beyond four feet!" Qin Qing said in a deep voice.

He had carefully observed a moment ago and discovered that the place was actually filled with Spiritual Arrays.

To be precise, Sword Arrays.

But as long as you step within the correct range, the Sword Array would not trigger.

To be exact, this Sword Valley tested the passersby’s comprehension of Sword Arrays!

Qin Qing led at the front; from time to time, he lifted his hand, releasing Sword Qi from it.

The Sword Qi triggered the Sword Array, and Sword Qi continued to burst forth.

"The Sword Array here changes constantly, it’s not fixed..."
