373 Genius Girl (2/2)
Huo Changxing stared at Qin Xiaoyou, smiling while shaking his head. He had been through this. He naturally knew the feelings and the romance of youth. When he was young, he was like that, too. So many years had passed. Originally, he thought that he would not have a chance again in this life. He didn't expect to be able to meet his love again.
Outside the courtyard's door, a crisp female voice rang out. ”Xiaoyou, come out quickly. Come and see who I have brought.” Even from far away, she had started shouting.
”Xiaofei is here,” Qin Xiaoyou said happily, dashing towards the outside immediately. She didn't have many friends. Wang Xiaofei was a rare bestie of hers. During the Capital Martial Arts Symposium, Wang Xiaofei often came to visit her and play with her.
However, just when Qin Xiaoyou reached the door, her body froze on the spot. Her gaze was fixed in one direction. The surroundings seemed to have lost their color. There was only one figure in her gaze.
Qin Xiaoyou couldn't believe her eyes at all. The person whom she had thought about day and night had indeed appeared before her. Everything was so unexpected. She was not mentally prepared at all.
”Xiaoyou, I have brought you your lover, whom you think about even in your dreams. How do you want to thank me this time?” Wang Xiaofei had both her hands on her hips and her chin raised. She put on an, ”I've done well” look. She had totally forgotten that before this, she had still been very reluctant to bring Mo Wen to Qin Xiaoyou.
If Xiaoyou knew what Wang Xiaofei had done, it was unsure whether or not Xiaoyou would have cut ties with her out of anger.
”Mo Wen!” Right now, Qin Xiaoyou obviously had no time to care about Wang Xiaofei. She immediately dashed past Wang Xiaofei and leapt into Mo Wen's arms.
”Why are you so clingy?” Mo Wen said with a smile while putting his arms around Qin Xiaoyou's waist.
”You are back.” Qin Xiaoyou put her head on Mo Wen's chest. Her expression was filled with longing. She didn't care at all whether her actions were appropriate in public. If Mo Wen still hadn't come back, she might not have been able to wait longer and would have left the capital to look for him.
”I encountered a little accident, so I am late.” Mo Wen touched Qin Xiaoyou's head. Originally, if everything had gone according to plan, he would have been gone for half a month at most. In the end, he was trapped in the underground palace, so his absence dragged on until more than a month had passed.
”Xiaoyou, even though he is back, you shouldn't be too optimistic. Mo Wen has stirred up big trouble. He might not be able to stay alive,” Wang Xiaofei said in an exaggerated manner at the side with her mouth pouted. Xiaoyou had forgotten about her bestie once she had her lover. How did she end up with such a heartless, bad friend?
”Ah! What happened?” Qin Xiaoyou asked nervously while grabbing onto Mo Wen's hand. What trouble did he cause?
”He has killed Meng Guo, the number one genius in the Meng Clan, and a few other talented youths in the Meng Clan. When the Meng Clan finds out about this, will they let him get away easily? They will surely slice him into pieces and grind his bones to dust,” Wang Xiaofei said bitterly. This Mo Wen was too reckless. He didn't think about consequences at all. He had caused such big trouble. How did he plan to settle this?
She knew that Mo Wen had been helping her to vent her anger, but he could have changed his method. For example, he could have given Meng Guo a good beating or shamed him. But now Mo Wen had killed him. He was too ruthless.
”Is it the Meng Clan, which is also one of the capital's five major martial arts aristocratic families?” Qin Xiaoyou asked.
”Exactly. Other than that Meng Clan, who else could it be? If it had been a normal martial arts aristocratic family, it would not be a big deal,” Wang Xiaofei said helplessly. If it had been a normal martial arts aristocratic family, with the power of the Wang Clan, she could settle the matter. However, they had stirred trouble with the Meng Clan. That was no longer a small matter.
”Those people from the Meng Clan must have found fault with Mo Wen. Otherwise, Mo Wen would not simply kill people,” Qin Xiaoyou said while frowning. She knew that Mo Wen was not a person who stirred up trouble. Since Mo Wen had killed the people from the Meng Clan, he had surely done so for a reason.
After knowing it was just the Meng Clan who had a vendetta with Mo Wen, Qin Xiaoyou was relieved because she knew that Mo Wen was not afraid of the Meng Clan. Before this, he wasn't even scared of the Qin Clan. Why would he be scared of the Meng Clan?
”More or less,” Wang Xiaofei said with a red face. It was indeed the people from the Meng Clan who stirred up trouble first. Mo Wen only killed Meng Guo and the rest to vent on her behalf.
”It's a small matter. Both of you, don't worry.” Mo Wen smiled while touching Qin Xiaoyou's head. Since when did he need this girl to worry about his matter?
Wang Xiaofei rolled her eyes upon hearing his words. Small matter! Later, when the Meng Clan came here, she wanted to see whether he could still smile.
”You have guts!” A voice rang out from behind them. Huo Changxing stared at Mo Wen curiously as he walked out from behind the door.
This youth had the audacity to kill Meng Guo, the successor of the Meng Clan, and still say it was a small matter. He was courageous, but it was uncertain whether he had ability. If he didn't have much ability and had done such a thing, he was bold but tactless.
”You are?” Mo Wen stared at Huo Changxing with his eyebrows raised slightly. Before this man had come out, Mo Wen had noticed him. It was just that Mo Wen didn't care about him.
”He is Uncle Huo, the current clan leader of the Huo Clan. Hmm, he can be counted as an elder of mine. The matter is a little complicated. I will slowly explain it to you later,” Qin Xiaoyou said with a smile while hugging onto Mo Wen's arm intimately. She seemed to have noticed Mo Wen's doubt.
