Chapter 6-Huangfu (2/2)

She neatly took out a comb and his usual hairpin from the drawer and started to tie his hair carefully while saying, ”Master... Do you like that miss of Huangfu Family very much?”

Xiao Chen smiled. How should he say?

For him, perhaps it was more of gratitude toward Huangfu Xin'er. After he came to this world, he had been scoffed and looked down by countless people only because he had no Spiritual Meridian and could not practice martial arts. Except for his parents and a few others, there was only one people supported him throughout. That person was Huangfu Xin'er.

Were it some other daughters from big families, they would definitely give up the marriage upon knowing his incapability of martial arts. Instead, against Huangfu Family seniors, Huangfu Xin'er resolutely wrote down these words—Only this man shall I marry, 'til the end of my life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen smiled. Lil Ruo asked no more upon seeing his smile.

”It's done. Master looks awesome today...” She smiled and said.

Xiao Chen nodded, stood up, and walked out of the room. At the gate of the courtyard, he said, ”I may not come back for lunch. Don't mind me. You can go to my mum's place for launch.”

”Okay, I will. Don't worry about me, master...”

This time, on his way to the Fly Cloud Hall, Xiao Chen was not that nervous like before. He was not that Xiao Chen anymore, and he welcomed the challenges from Huangfu Family. He wanted to see what kind of trouble Huangfu Zhe, the second uncle of Huangfu Xin'er, would make and then embarrass that man.

Many Xiao Family juniors had already crowded outside the hall, whispering. Xiao Chen was already used to this and walked straight into the hall with his head up. Just as usual, his grandfather sat in the main seat with Xiao Family elders and his father on the left, and Huangfu Family's people on the right.

The different thing was the heavy air in the hall. Nobody talked cheerfully like they used to and people just looked at the ground. There was not even a maid in the hall, so people could just watch the tea turn cold. Huangfu Xin'er still didn't come, instead, a handsome young man who looked like an Immortal arrived.

There was a slight aura of an Immortal on him, and many girls outside looked at him with enchanted eyes. However, his face looked somewhat domineering as if he looked down upon everyone.

Xiao Chen was shocked slightly upon seeing this man. This was a Cultivator with Spiritual Meridians, and he might have reached Foundation Building Realm. He quickly walked forth and saluted to Xiao Changfeng who sat straight with dignity. He then saluted to a teal-robed middle-aged man and said, ”Uncle Huangfu.”

This man was exactly Huangfu Zhe. He looked at Xiao Chen and nodded slightly. A maid in green stood beside him with her head down. She held a good-looking case with both hands. What was in that case?

Xiao Chen said no more. He walked to his father and sat down beside. He glanced sideways at his father and found him look terrible.

At this moment, that domineering young man beside Huangfu Zhe finally stood up. He slightly glanced at Xiao Chen and asked Xiao Changfeng, ”Is he Xiao Chen?”

Xiao Chen's brow furrowed. This man was so rude. How could this man ignore him like this? Xiao Chen stood up and said, ”Yes, I am. How should I address you?” As his voice fell, Xiao Tianqi immediately glared at him and said, ”Sit down!”

The young man looked at him and said casually, ”Qin Xiu, Skygale Sect Leader's Pro-disciple.”

As his voice fell, many Xiao Family members looked shocked. No wonder the elders treated him courteously. It turned out that he was a Cultivator.

They knew that there were some Cultivators' sects, and they knew that Skygale Sect was one of those sects. People just took those sects as Daoism sects and those cultivators were just dreaming if they thought they could turn Immortal. People thought that those sects could not match their martial arts families. It was not until that day, when they saw people fighting in the sky, did they realize that Cultivators were a real deal.

They did not know about Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Building Realm, or Core Forming Realm. When they heard ”Cultivator”, they just took it as an Immortal that could fly in the sky.

”What brings you here, brother Qin?” Xiao Chen said faintly. He did not avoid Qin Xiu's eyes because although in other's eyes, he might be an Immortal, while in his, Qin Xiu was just a Cultivator in Foundation Building Realm.

Qin Xiu found Xiao Chen had not flustered like others when their eyes met and could not help frown and said, ”Xin'er has been officially admitted into our Skygale Sect three months ago. I heard that you and her have an engagement. Needless to say, you know that Immortals must end their Human World karma. So, I hope you can break off your engagement...”
