C97 (1/2)

Shang Rongrong suddenly threw herself into's embrace, causing Li Xu to be surprised. She had wanted to give way at first, but seeing her crying so miserably and emotionally, she felt his heart soften for a moment, but then she regretted it, because she saw that the numerous female disciples in front of them were all looking at the two of them with envious expressions. Some of them even clasped their hands, as if they were wishing him good luck, while others were praying for him. Even that Xu Xiu looked at him with a much gentler gaze, as if she was very happy for Shang Rongrong.

He turned his head to the side and looked at Qin Qing with bright and clear eyes. Lee Xun smiled bitterly in shame, but at the moment, in front of so many people, he immediately pushed Shang Rongrong away, causing him to be unable to do so. He could only pat Shang Rongrong on the shoulder and say: ”Elder Xu Xiu and I still have things to discuss, and we will look for you in a while, okay?”

Shang Rongrong wiped her tears and said resentfully: ”Then you have to hurry, I have a lot of things to say to you.”

Hearing Shang Rongrong's words, Lee Xun understood that he had misunderstood when he saw her fierce gaze earlier. So when she had heard Xu Xiu say that she was pretending to be Lee Xun, he had thought of the same hypothesis as Xu Xiao, thinking that she had been harmed by the people from Dou Family. But Lee Xun was even more confused, what was going on with Shang Rongrong, how did he change so much after just meeting him?

Without thinking anymore, Lee Xun brought Qin Qing and the others and followed Xu Xiu to the Human Palace Hall. When a disciple sent tea for everyone to take their leave, there were only eight people left in the hall, while Le Heng consciously stayed outside the hall.

”Lee Xun, I am truly sorry for what happened previously. I was reckless.”

Hearing Xu Xiu's sincere apology, Lee Xun laughed: ”What did Senior Xu Xiu say, you should also be more cautious. If it was me, it would be the same, you don't have to take it to heart.”

Seeing that Lee Xun did not pursue the matter, Xu Xiu's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. In her opinion, Lee Xun was a middle stage Earth Rank expert, and was likely someone that he would never be able to reach in his entire life. Naturally, she saw Li Xu in a different light, she did not know, that if she were to fight with Lee Xun now, her odds of winning would be slightly higher.

”Lee Xun, I heard that you are engaged to Rongrong, and from Tian Hui and the others, I heard a lot about you. Rongrong is the disciple with the highest talent and the highest comprehension I have received over the years, so I had high expectations for her. Therefore, I sent someone to collect some information on you, and before long, I received a message saying that you were on your way here, so I sent someone over to see you. I know that you already have a wife, and I didn't want Rongrong to be a child. Originally, I wanted to advise you to break off the engagement, but it looks like I don't have the qualifications now. ” Xu Xiu said as she took a sip of tea.

”No no, Senior Xu Xiu, you are Rongrong's master, you should naturally consider things for her. With Rongrong's talent, it is indeed inappropriate to be small for me. Actually, the reason I have my current strength is all because of luck, I won't hide it from you, I can't even use 10% of my Earth Rank. If you didn't previously choose to ask for help, but directly attacked me, then there wouldn't have been any misunderstandings. Lee Xun had said everything that was good for him. In order for Xu Xiu to continue with the idea of annulling the engagement, he had turned in his bottom line.

”Lee Xun, I can't decide on this. I don't care about your matters.” How could Xu Xiu possibly not hear the question within Lee Xun's words? It was also because Lee Xun was being too hasty and spoke too much. Furthermore, in Xu Xiu's opinion, just that calm and sharp temperament and sharp intelligence of hers when facing the ten great elders was already enough to match up to Shang Rongrong. As for Lee Xun's strength, even if he was not able to unleash even ten percent of it right now, he would still be able to completely unleash it in the future. Even if it would take a hundred years, it would be much better than the strength of himself and the other ten great elders.

Hearing that Xu Xiu had chosen to leave, Lee Xun no longer held any hope for her, and said: ”Senior Xu Xiu, the reason I came to your sect this time, was because I have something else with your wife Qin Qing, and also to accompany my fellow disciples to propose marriage.”

”They are proposing marriage?” Xu Xiu never thought that the one who would come to propose marriage wouldn't be Lee Xun, but Lu Tuan and the others.

Lu Tuan pointed to the point, and Lu Tuan and the other three all stood up and cupped their fists as they bowed to Xu Xiu. Although the outcome of this trip would depend on the person whom they liked the most, the precondition was to pass through Xu Xiu first.
