Chapter 149: As Annoying as Ever

In fact, Jing Xin was at this place because of a meeting for S-rank heroes in Yinshuang City.

Besides being an instructor at the Jiangxing Hero Academy and a visiting teacher at Yinshuang Academy, Jing Xin was also a renowned S-rank hero.

She had registered as a hero in Xiyu, but because she was in Yinshuang, she had a duty to respond to the Star Alliance’s summons.

There were five S-rank heroes stationed long-term in Yinshuang City, including Jing Xin. Besides her, there were Wind Feather, Black Dragon, Blade, and Lei Jie*, who is on the threshold of becoming an S-rank hero.

Jing Xin and Lei Jie were not present at the recent hero meeting in Yinshuang due to some special reasons, so the Star Alliance rescheduled the S-rank hero meeting for now.

Running into Shi Ji here was unexpected for Jing Xin.

When she heard a man’s voice, her expression turned sour.

Shi Ji recognized the voice as somewhat familiar and annoying. When he turned to look, he found it was indeed someone he knew but wished he didn’t.

The man wore black leather pants and a jacket, with two swords strapped to his back. This was Blade, with whom Shi Ji had a conflict a few days ago.

Meeting Jing Xin was a surprise, but running into Blade felt like the real coincidence.

Shi Ji, who had planned to return to Lin Xinyan, decided to stay.

Blade, seeing Jing Xin from a distance, seemed excited.

Jing Xin looked at Blade with clear impatience.

“You again. Don’t you ever get tired? You’re not my match. Let’s not waste our time.”

Shi Ji understood from Jing Xin’s words that Blade, besides causing trouble for Black Dragon, also harassed Jing Xin, seemingly more than once.

Blade approached Jing Xin, smiling, “I know you have dual Starborne powers and are very strong. But until we fight, how can we know who wins? Let’s set a time and have a match.”

Jing Xin didn’t respond, turning instead to look at Shi Ji.

“I have things to do. I don’t have time for you. I’m leaving.”

With that, Jing Xin turned to leave.

It was then that Blade noticed Shi Ji.

“Oh? It’s you. You’re classmates with Lin Xinyan, and her instructor is Jing Xin. So, that makes you Jing Xin’s student. Last time, Black Dragon shielded you, so let’s call it even. This time, you have to help me.”

As Blade finished speaking, a sudden sound of a sword being drawn rang out, and a flash of cold light streaked by.

“Jing Xin, don’t blame me,” Blade shouted, swinging his sword at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji stood still, looking at Blade with some displeasure.

This Blade was as annoying as ever. If not taught a lesson, he’d continue to act as if he owned the place, doing whatever he pleased.

Hearing the noise, Jing Xin sensed something was wrong. She turned just in time to see Blade’s sword swinging toward Shi Ji.

Although she knew Blade wouldn’t actually harm Shi Ji, using a duel as an excuse to attack like this was outrageous.

Even if Blade wasn’t serious, Jing Xin decided she needed to act.

Shi Ji, though infuriating, was still her student, and she didn’t want him getting caught up in this mess.

Jing Xin’s right hand quickly lifted, ready to make a move, but she suddenly stopped.

Clang!

A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. Blade’s sword was blocked.
