By the time he could defend himself and bit her, he ended up selling himself. What a sorrowful fate.
"You can do whatever you want," XunMi didn’t bother entertaining HanShuang’s question. She knew Liu ZhenXin wouldn’t be easy to defeat. Even if these two female leads fought, the best result would be a tie. Of course, she wouldn’t let HanShuang get hurt.
Ouyang HanShuang relaxed. She had been wanting to teach that trash a lesson for awhile. In the half year since she met XunMi, Ouyang HanShuang had learned XunMi’s teachings: Use your fists to speak. As long as you win, then you are right.
XunMi thought that Liu ZhenXin would put up some troublesome business for the two of them but she found it to be a peaceful path to the compet.i.tions. When XunMi didn’t spot Liu ZhenXin once on her walk to GuiYuan sect’s area, she was surprised.
The truth was, it wasn’t that Liu ZhenXin didn’t want to come. Rather, she had been blocked by Tian Xuan. Everytime his disciple went to his junior, she would come back in total defeat. Although he felt empathetic, he also knew that it was his disciple’s karma.
As a large sect’s guest elder, the treatment XunMi received was outstanding. She had her own little courtyard where she and HanShuang could s.p.a.ciously stay. Just as she stepped into the southern yard, XunMi froze in place.
All other things faded into the background. The only thing that she could see was the man in white playing chess inside the pavilion.
His dark black hair was tied up within a hat. His face looked as if it had been carved by jade, a distinct complexion with sharp features. He had a pair of ice cold eyes in the alluring shape of peach blossoms with thin pursed lips.
His entire person emitted an aura of handsomeness yet aloofness. He was like a lone wolf in the dark night: dangerous yet captivating.
XunMi’s heart started beating out of turn. All the cells in her body were calling out, telling her that she’s found her husband, that this was him!
The man who had been engrossed in playing chess suddenly felt a pa.s.sionately happy gaze land on him. The gaze was filled with strong affections and faint longing. Unexpectedly, he didn’t dislike this feeling.
However, he was filled with a light sense of dissatisfaction. Who was she longing for? Who was she using him to look at?
XunMi’s lips lifted into a brilliant smile, filled with the comfortable warmth of summer.
She stepped forwards towards him. In the past, it had always been her husband who would find and recognize her. This time, it was her turn to find and recognize him, and make him fall in love with her again.
"h.e.l.lo, I am Liu XunMi. Could I be introduced
GongZi Su raised her head. His heart nervously clenched. This woman before him was wearing a red dress, spotless and magnificent. Her body was slim and tall like bamboo. Her skin was white as jade, and she had a smile that only added to her elegance.
Her eyes were slightly lifted alluringly. However, her body emitted a light estranged coldness. The eyes looking up at him were like warm unmelted snow on a spring day, making it impossible for others to look away. Her lips were like warm jade, curled up in a way that softened her cold appearance.
He couldn’t help but admit that this was a very beautiful lady. All the beautiful women in the family clans couldn’t even compare to her.
"Yo, where did this pretty lady come from? With a complexion like a painting? Tsktsktsk, who knows how many young men would go crazy about her?" The man playing chess with GongZi Su had already noticed her.
However, he hadn’t thought that she would be able to make his good friend so nervous. After all, GongZi Su was renowned for being cold and detached.
"No, I don’t want to make any young man go crazy. I only want to make one person fall for me." XunMi’s smile disappeared as she seriously spoke.
GongZi Su’s heart trembled. Why did he feel so indescribably joyous?
"GongZi Su." Before he even realized, he had already spoken.
XunMi’s heart was floating among pink bubbles. Aww, dear husband has told me his name! And husband’s name is so beautiful!
"Liu XunMi? Liu family’s eldest miss." The other man suddenly interrupted.
"I am Liu XunMi, but not Liu family’s eldest miss." Her eyes darkened. Every time she heard Liu family’s eldest miss she would feel the need to sigh.
In others’ eyes, this was a sign of her grief. Ouyang HanShuang immediately jumped up, and firmly glared at the man who spoke. "My teacher is so outstanding, how could Liu family even compare to her? My teacher is LiuGuang sect’s visiting elder, remember it well. She’s not some Liu family miss!" Still seething, Ouyang Hanshuang pulled XunMi to sit on a stool on the side.
Perhaps it was because she had spent so much time with XunMi or because she had a.s.similated with this world, but she had also developed a childish nature.
"Uh, sorry. I am Luo Ling. And how can I address this beautiful woman?" Luo Ling scratched his head and awkwardly laughed. He wasn’t angry and instead reacted good-naturedly.
Suddenly, Ouyang HanShuang also developed a good opinion of this handsome flowery pretty boy.
"The hidden Luo family clan’s young master?" XunMi was also surprised. Then her husband’s ident.i.ty in this world is also not simple. But there weren’t an families with the surname GongZi.
"This is my disciple, Ouyang HanShuang. If you meet her on the martial arts compet.i.tion stage, please show mercy." Although XunMi’s words were directed at Luo Ling, her eyes were s.h.i.+fted towards GongZi Su.
"You flatter me. No need to call me Young Master Luo either. You can just call me by my name." Luo Ling immediately acted friendly and close. It was obvious to him that she wasn’t a simple person. To become LiuGuang sect’s visiting elder, she would have to be extremely powerful. Most importantly, she was actually able to raise his good friend’s interest. Therefore, he must be on good relations with her.
XunMi’s eyes crinkled into a half moon shape. Her two hands rested on the table as her bright eyes gazed up at GongZi Su.
"SuSu, SuSu. If we meet on the martial arts compet.i.tion stage, you also must treat me lightly, alright?"
In this compet.i.tion, every sect sent a representative to partic.i.p.ate. As the new elder, XunMi was inevitably selected.
GongZi Su’s fingers tightened around the chess piece in his hand, his heart beating faster and faster. Uncontrollably, his gaze turned to the smiling jadelike face in front of him and nodded.
He thought, such an unrestrained happy person shouldn’t meet any bad things.
He had noticed her reaction when Liu family was mentioned. An urge to annihilate Liu family suddenly emerged in his heart.
He didn’t know why but his heart was telling him this was the right thing to do.
Seeing her lover nod his head, XunMi exclaimed, "SuSu is the best!" I love SuSu the most. She could only silently repeat the final sentence to herself.
It wasn’t the time yet, she needed to wait.
Luo Ling and Ouyang HanShuang were sitting together, silently watching the two of them.
