Su Huanqing was already reduced to screaming and thrashing about.
Xu Lingjun reacted swiftly, tucking Su Huanqing under his arm, his legs exerting trendous force as the True Qi within his body resonated with the external wind.
His body suddenly shifted with the fierce wind, his feet landing on protruding rocks specially designed for climbers.
His steps continued rapidly, borrowing the wind... suddenly rising several ters, now just over ten ters from the cliff’s edge.
Last ti, he had no idea how to use the Lightweight Technique, but after one fall, he felt he had grasped sothing... no wonder this Cultivation Technique requires one to be completely airborne to experience high-altitude winds, for only then can one fully escape the shackles of the ground and rge completely with the wind.
This Cultivation Technique is indeed miraculous.
Filled with joy, he exerted force repeatedly, moving as if freed from gravity, drifting with the wind, he seed quite graceful...
Huh?!
In her mont of crisis, Su Huanqing’s heart was pounding fiercely, but her falling body suddenly rose instead. She couldn’t help but be taken aback, looking at Xu Lingjun with shining eyes, thinking, this guy is quite impressive, able to save himself even in such circumstances—maybe he’s not as useless as Xiaoya said.
He’s clearly quite useful.
Am I not going to die this ti?
But barely had she ti to rejoice...
She could only watch as Xu Lingjun repeatedly stepped, riding the wind, then missed a step, causing his regained balance to teeter as they plumted downward once more.
Turns out he’s just a silver spearhead, looks impressive but useless...
Su Huanqing, frightened again, closed her eyes and scread, thinking, this is giving hope only to plunge into despair again.
But just after she scread a few tis, she felt herself completely enveloped in a warm embrace.
She opened her eyes in shock, only to find Xu Lingjun had tightly cradled her in his arms, using his body to cushion hers, enveloping her completely, leaving no space between them.
He... he’s willing to sacrifice himself to save ?
Su Huanqing widened her eyes, her impending fear of death dissipating, as she just stared blankly at the handso face so close to her own.
In this mont, her wildly beating heart seed to resonate with the body holding her...
Perhaps we will both be smashed into pieces, our bones and blood mingling together, achieving Supre communion in spirit.
Su Huanqing suddenly felt an exceedingly romantic thought surge in her heart...
Boom~~~!!!
Thick dust perated the air.
The hard ground was directly smashed into a huge crater.
Su Huanqing cried out in pain, feeling her chest collide forcefully with Xu Lingjun’s with no buffer whatsoever.
The pain made her want to tear off her clothes and rub herself fiercely...
But unfortunately, her whole body felt as if it were falling apart, and even though there was so cushioning, falling from such a height and not dying was already a miracle... wait... miracle...
Su Huanqing tried several tis to get up but struggled to and couldn’t. She asked, tearfully, "Xu Lingjun, are you okay... Xu Lingjun, you... you’re okay?"
Her desperate cries turned to stunned silence when she saw Xu Lingjun below, staring back at her speechlessly.
No... really okay.
She was dumbfounded, looking up at the over a hundred-ter height they had fallen from—not jumped, fell—it was falling...
And nothing happened?
She sat astride Xu Lingjun, utterly stunned.
At this point.
In the distance, police sirens blared, seemingly attracted by the dust cloud here.
A few ard police swiftly jumped out of the vehicle, employing the Light Body Technique to rush over, shouting, "Calm down, stay calm, don’t give up hope... uh..."
They also halted.
Looking at the pair tightly tangled on the ground amidst the dust.
One of the ard police looked up at the sky curiously, asking, "Didn’t soone report that soone was going to jump off the cliff?"
Xu Lingjun nodded, propping himself up to sit.
Aside from a sore chest, he wasn’t injured otherwise.
He pointed at Su Huanqing and said, "It was her who wanted to jump off the cliff. Suddenly, she just rushed out while talking, and I said you were dawdling with for so long because you were annoyed I was delaying your suicide. You’re so pretty and young, is it really worth thinking so poorly?"
Su Huanqing blankly said, "Huh?"
The other female ard police officer’s face changed slightly at these words, imdiately going to restrain her, holding her firmly.
She earnestly counseled, "Young lady, you’re still young, the future holds many wonderful things. Why are you so troubled by such a small issue... huh? Think of your parents, was it easy for them to raise you this far? Are you doing right by them?"
Su Huanqing: "..............."
She defended, "I didn’t, I wasn’t, I wasn’t thinking of suicide, he’s the one who was suicidal, I was trying to talk him out of it."
Xu Lingjun speechlessly retorted, "I ca to cultivate Lightweight Skills; I’m alive and well, why would I commit suicide? It’s you who suddenly rushed out like that... if it weren’t for my quick reflexes, you would have been smashed to pieces by now."
The ard police officer glanced at the round crater beneath the two and hesitantly asked, "You fell from up there to save her? Are you alright, do you need a check-up?"
"No, I’m fine, didn’t I say? I actually ca to practice Light Body Technique."
Xu Lingjun said with a smile, "At the crucial mont, I used Light Body Technique to absorb much of the impact... that’s why I’m okay, otherwise being crushed by such a weight, I’d definitely be injured."
Su Huanqing widened her eyes, not daring to believe Xu Lingjun’s words.
Did you seriously say you used Light Skills to absorb a lot of impact?
You fell from a hundred ters to eighty-five and then rose to ninety before falling hard like a bouncing ball... what’s the difference from falling from a hundred ters, really?
Xu Lingjun paused, seemingly realizing his words were a bit exaggerated, and added, "But right now, my chest really hurts from being hit, though it’s just an injury from impact, a bit of bruising linint and it’ll be fine."
"That’s good then."
The ard police officer solemnly saluted Xu Lingjun, exclaiming loudly, "Thank you for saving an innocent resident; we will arrange for higher-ups to give you so recognition... judging by your age, you’re still a student, right?"
Xu Lingjun nodded, saying, "Yes, I’m a student from Qingzhou City, here in Fangyi City for the Dragon Gate Examination."
"That’s even better, risking your life to save soone. You’ll get bonus points for the martial test of the Dragon Gate Examination."
The ard police officer looked up at the sky, smiling, "This truly is risking your life to save soone, one wrong move and there’d be two lives lost, but to fall from such a height and be okay shows your impressive ability, whether there are bonus points or not doesn’t matter."
The female ard police officer, forcibly supporting the still weak-limbed Su Huanqing, whose legs were still spread thanks to Xu Lingjun’s collision, said seriously, "Please cooperate with us in making a report, I need to take this young lady back for psychological counseling, and concerning your reward, we will issue it after the procedure."
"No, I wasn’t trying to commit suicide. I ca to find him, I’m his teacher, I ca to find him, I really wasn’t..."
Su Huanqing was forcibly lifted by the female ard police officer, attempting desperately to explain, only to find, to her despair, that seemingly... no one believed her.
Xu Lingjun nodded, earnestly saying, "As a lawful citizen, it’s my duty to rescue innocent people from danger without hesitation; actually, I don’t need any reward, but of course, bonus points would be nice."
