Chapter 179: A Scheme (1/2)

”Don't act innocent anymore, Yan Meixu,” Su Mingxia snorted as she continued, ”Yang Wei isn't here with us so there's no point in hiding it.”

Yan Meixu raised an eyebrow as she held an innocent expression. ”What does Yang Wei have to do with this topic?”

Su Mingxia's expression darkened as she showed her fiery aura that seemed to surround the entire office.

The atmosphere became constricted and it was easy to say that any ordinary person coming in here would suffocate if they didn't have a barrier to defend themselves.

However, despite all these circumstances, Yan Meixu still remained calm and didn't seem to have any trouble breathing.

Su Mingxia sneered when she got her answer already. ”Still planning on hiding your true cultivation base?”

Yan Meixu covered her mouth slowly and giggled, ”Ai~ why are you so fierce when I didn't mean any harm toward you at all.”

”That's because I can tell you are scheming against Yang Wei.”

”What do you mean by scheming against Yang Wei? I meant him no harm at all.”

Su Mingxia wrinkled her brows as she would be a fool to believe a single word from Yan Meixu.

”If you didn't plan to do Yang Wei any harm then why would you lie about being forced to marry someone and needed help?” Su Mingxia asked.

She was sure that Yan Meixu's cultivation base was not lower than hers, in fact, Su Mingxia could feel that Yan Meixu was slightly stronger than her.

Hence, it was questionable and suspicious that Yan Meixu would need a helper in dealing with some second-in-command family in the Ling City.

Just a flick of her finger was enough to annihilate the entirety of the Wang Clan.

”Fufu, what fun would there be if I had to act against them, Su Mingxia? As a Nascent Soul realm cultivator such as yourself, don't you feel it's a little overboard or beneath you to get your hands dirty on some lowlife?” Yan Meixu giggled as she continued.

”I wished to find a knight in shining armor myself and someone who is genuinely trying to help me.”

”Well then, I'm afraid you would have to look for another person because that knight in shining armor wouldn't be Yang Wei.”

Yan Meixu tapped her finger lightly on the desk as she heard Su Mingxia's tone was becoming colder and harsher.

However, she wasn't mad nor bothered by her tone of speech. In fact, she was amused by Su Mingxia's attitude and behavior in this situation.

”Why? Did you fall for that boy's charming look- no that wouldn't be the case since almost all cultivators are handsome like him.” Yan Meixu shook her head as she rebuked her own reasoning.

Instead, she continued with a smirk and said, ”Maybe, you fell for his personality as he is truly different from the rest.”

”That is none of your business to pry,” Su Mingxia hissed as she slammed the desk with her palm.

The palm was filled with spiritual qi as it created a crack in Yan Meixu's desk.
