Chapter 143: Prove It (2/2)

”I will do my best for the sect,” Li Xiang bowed happily to the Supreme Elder.

The girls walked towards the door, but the supreme elder held Xiao Fang back to speak to him.

”That was very mature of you, Long Wang.”

”Supreme Elder, was there something you wanted to speak to me about?”

'Straight to the point. He's an interesting kid,' the supreme elder thought.

”It's nothing really. I was curious about something Li Xiang told me. Are you really marrying into the Li Family clan?”

Xiao Fang paused.

No words were exchanged for a few seconds, but to the Supreme Elder it seemed like minutes had passed.

”I am seeing someone with the surname Li,” Xiao Fang answered vaguely.

”Could that person be Li Lian?” the supreme elder asked a follow up question.

Xiao Fang wasn't sure how much Li Xiang had told the Supreme Elder, but it seems that she had told her everything. This was exactly what he was afraid of, and the reason why he didn't want Xiao Hei telling Li Xiang about Li Lian.

”You'll have to forgive me, my fiancée wishes to keep our relationship a secret. I cannot tell you who it is.”

”I can't let you leave until you tell me,” she immediately replied.

'Ah, so annoying,' Xiao Fang thought.

He thought about what to say then an idea came to mind.

”Clearly, this means a lot to you. If you want me to tell you the truth, then there's something I need you to do for me first.”

Since he didn't make her apologize in front of the 2 girls, she felt that she already owed him a favor.

”Sure, what do you want?”

Xiao Fang smiled, then told her what he wanted.

”Is that it? You know, there are clubs for that in the inner court,” she replied.

”Still, I would like it if you were the one to personally teach it to me. Are you unable to grant me this favor?”

The Supreme Elder thought about it for a moment, then said,

”Alright. I suppose it wouldn't be too much trouble.”

”Good, then I expect to be seeing a lot more of you soon,” Xiao Fang smiled.

Since she wanted to talk behind his back, he wasn't benevolent enough to spare her when revenge was within his reach. A noble man can even wait 10 years to take his revenge. Xiao Fang was going to enjoy his time with this supreme elder.

Xiao Fang then turned to leave, but the Supreme Elder stopped him again.

”Wait, aren't you going to tell me who your fiancée is? I already promised that I'd do as you asked.”

”You also promised Fei Lin that you would apologize to me, so how could I trust your words. Fulfill your promise to me first, then I'll tell you the truth afterwards.”

Hearing his words, the Supreme Elder didn't try to stop him from leaving this time, so she just watched him walk away.

When Xiao Fang turned the corner, Xiao Hei and Li Xiang saw him walking towards them, they assumed the Supreme Elder wanted to speak to him privately so they waited at the door for him.

”Did I keep you waiting for long?” Xiao Fang asked.

”No, it's alright. Li Xiang is fun to talk to. She also likes to play games like me,” Xiao Hei said happily.

”We already waited for you for more than 10 hours, so 5 minutes felt like nothing to us,” Li Xiang said.

Now that they were all here, Li Xiang finally pushed the exit doors open. With large strides and her chest puffed out, Li Xiang walked outside with a smug look on her face.

Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei followed. As soon as they stepped outside they immediately attracted the gaze of all of the disciples.

Out of the several thousands of disciples that had participated in the exam, only about a thousand had actually passed it. However, from the few disciples that passed, only Xiao Fang, Xiao Hei, and Li Xiang had completed the harder version of the exam, that was the reason why so many disciples were staring at them.

What Li Xiang was late to realize was that the crowd wasn't staring at 'them', they were just staring at her. She eventually turned around and discovered that Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei weren't behind her.

”Hm? Where'd they go?”
