The guard shuddered and he was obviously frightened. It seemed that the little old man was really invited by that power and probably to treat someone according to what he said. If he had really driven him away, he might have been cut into pieces by the people of that power! At the thought of this, the guard became anxious, worrying that the little old man would complain about him to that power.
Seeing this, Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes, and suspiciously looked the little old man up and down.
“What are you looking at?” The little old man turned around and caught a glimpse of Yun Luofeng’s strange eyes. He shuddered and hastily covered his chest with his hands. “Do you have a crush on me? I tell you, I am a man of principles. I would rather die than submit to you!”
Yun Luofeng’s face darkened. “I’m just curious about your identity.”
“Well…” The old man rolled his eyes and grinned. “If you acknowledge me as your master, I will tell you who I am. What do you think of that?”
“Well, forget it.” Yun Luofeng shrugged and stepped to the opened gate. At the gate, she paused, turned around and said to Xiao Yuqing with a smile, “Have you ever heard of it? The blood debt must be repaid in kind! To get what she wanted, your mother has done many evil things and one day, someone will have her pay for what she has done!”
Saying these words, she entered into the Spirit Domain, without looking back.
Xiao Yuqing gazed at the receding figure of the girl, and a subtle light flashed through his apathetic eyes. Then, he turned to the little old man who was putting away the golden jade pass.
A golden jade pass? Did he belong to that power? It seemed that the two people he met today were not simple…
“Master,” a guard of the Xiao Family stepped forward and made an obeisance, “shall we start off now?”
“Yes,” Xiao Yuqing nodded slightly. “We must be back to the Xiao Family in three days.”
“Giddyap!” After saying this, Xiao Yuqing whipped his spirited horse which immediately galloped towards the gate, leaving a cloud of dust behind.
…
On the rugged mountain path, the little old man curiously looked at the girl beside him. When the girl stopped, he asked her with an awkward smile, “Girl, tell me, do you bear a grudge against the boy of the Xiao Family?”
“I said I was just defending the weak against an injustice.” The girl slightly raised the corners of her lips, her voice calm and steady. However, her dark eyes revealing a domineering and defiant look, she looked like an untamed wild horse, obstinate and unruly.
“Defending the weak against an injustice?” The little old man rolled his eyes. “Do you think I’m foolish? A person like you would defend the weak against an injustice? If you hadn’t been irritated by the boy of the Xiao Family, you wouldn’t have been so hostile to them.”
Moreover, from what he knew of Yun Luofeng, this girl was good at controlling her emotions and preferred to entrap her enemies secretly! One could tell that from how she entrapped Mu Wuchen in the teahouse!
However, faced with Xiao Yuqing, she totally lost her cool! Every single word she spoke was so hostile! She would never utter such provocative words if she didn’t bear a deep grudge against him.
“That was because he rubbed me the wrong way.” Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows wickedly, looking exactly like a dandy.
“You think I’ll believe you?” The little old man curled his lips. She should have found a better excuse if she wanted him to believe her. He would not believe that Yun Luofeng did it simply because she found Xiao Yuqing to be an eyesore.
