At Zi Yuâs house.
Xue Yue asked, âZi Yu, whatâs wrong?â
Zi Yu said, âXiao Jinting beat up several concubines of Xu Han and snatched their space rings and weapons. He kidnapped Xu Muan and took him away.â
After they beat up Xu Hanâs concubines, Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan disappeared. The Xu family as well as the womenâs families came to Zi Yu and investigated Xiao Jinting.
Xue Yue widened her eyes in shock and asked, âDid Xiao Jinting do that?â
Zi Yu nodded and said, âYes, but the news is not entirely true. Xiao Jinting did beat up Xu Hanâs concubines, but he didnât kidnap Xu Muan. I think Xu Muan left with Xiao Jinting of his own will.â
Xue Yue said in bewilderment, âThose concubines of Xu Han are False Immortals, arenât they? Why were they defeated by Xiao Jinting?â
Zi Yu nodded and said reflectively, âI feel odd about it. Xiao Jinting has been in the Immortal World for a dozen years, and he could hardly transform his immortal soul. But I heard that he robbed Xu Hanâs concubines.â
Xue Yue frowned. âAre they mistaken? Xiao Jinting couldnât have done that.â When she first met Xiao Jinting, his spiritual Qi had not transformed into an immortal soul. How could he make such rapid progress in cultivation?
Zi Yu thought for a while and said, âHe might have taken some pills to enhance his strength temporarily.â
Xue Yue nodded and said, âItâs likely.â
Xue Yue asked, âDidnât the Xu family want Xu Muan to marry Xu Han?â
Zi Yu nodded. âYes, but Xu Muan doesnât seem to like Xu Han. He is still thinking of Xiao Jinting.â
She had thought Xu Muan would cut all his ties with Xiao Jinting if he was sensible. To her surprise, Xu Muan was stupid, and Xiao Jinting was stubborn.
Zi Yu said sulkily, âXiao Jinting is a bastard. He told me that he would take a year off. It seems that he wonât come back in a short time.â
Xue Yue said ruefully, âItâs difficult to find someone good at growing turnips. Itâs a pity that he ran away.â
â¦
At the Xu house.
Xu Han looked at Liu Piaopiao, who was sulking, and said, âDid Xu Muan leave with Xiao Jinting of his own will?â
Liu Piaopiao nodded. âYes.â
She pressed her lips. Xu Muanâs wedding with Xu Han was delayed because he fought with her. She wondered if she was used by Xu Muan. She thought Xu Han was so outstanding that Xu Muan must like him. He delayed the wedding because he wanted to play the hard-to-get game.
Liu Piaopiao now realized that Xu Muan didnât like Xu Han. He made the blunder on purpose to get the punishment and the weapon she borrowed and give the money to Xiao Jinting. Xu Muan must love Xiao Jinting very much since he was willing to take such a big risk.
Xu Han said, âXiao Jinting seemed to have ascended to the Immortal World with Xu Muan.â
Liu Piaopiao lowered her head. Xu Muan had just arrived for less than twenty years, and he had transformed into an immortal soul. His speed was faster than most of the cultivators, but Xiao Jinting was more powerful than Xu Muan.
She had learned her lesson from the first fight with Xu Muan and asked for a few hands, but she was defeated.
Xu Han said, âXiao Jinting looks powerful.â
Liu Piaopiao said with a smile, âHeâs inferior to you.â
Xu Han shook his head. âI donât think so. There are some outstanding cultivators from the Spiritual World.â
Liu Piaopiao lowered her head. Xiao Jinting could defeat them after he had arrived for less than twenty years. She couldnât imagine his potential. Perhaps Xu Muan made the right choice. Xiao Jinting was outstanding.
Xu Han tapped the table with his fingers, intrigued.
Liu Piaopiao looked at Xu Han and felt depressed. As the love wore out, she became calm.
She blamed herself for the mistake. Xu Han hadnât been interested in Xu Muan, but he didnât reject the marriage because the formerâs physical benefited him. But now, Xu Han started to be interested in Xu Muan.
