In Aoqian's eyes, what Song Xiwei had in abundance was being fawned over.

How long has she been in Penglai?

They captured so many people.

Behind that narrow doorway, countless men are still head over heels for her.

Wasn't she captivated even by the gaps in the wall?

The more Aoqian thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Listening to Aoqian's sarcastic teasing, and seeing that Aoqian's face was pale and he seemed to be deeply hurt.

Song Xiwei's heart softened inexplicably, and her voice became soft as she reached out to take Aoqian's hand, "Young Master, did you think I was going to stay in Penglai?"

“The Venerable of Penglai values ​​you highly. Even if you break with the void, you will still have a place to stay in Penglai. He even granted you the position of the new master of Penglai. What an honor! It is much better than following me.”

After finishing his sentence in a tense tone, Ao Qian stopped looking at Song Xiwei's face.

Hearing him say these things, Song Xiwei became even more certain that Ao was secretly bothered by something.

“Young Master, didn’t we agree? I will never betray you in the future, so how could I possibly stay in Penglai?” Seeing that Aoqian wasn’t looking at her, Song Xiwei shook his arm and said in a soft voice, “Chidu has gone through several hardships and is in dire need of rebuilding. Of course, I will be with you! Unless you think I’m a burden and don’t want to take me in anymore…”

“I didn’t say I didn’t want to take you in, but as you’ve seen, there are admirers for you everywhere in Penglai. But if you and I go back to Chidu, then…” Aoqian didn’t finish his sentence; he felt incredibly bitter.

If he could, and if he wasn't afraid of scaring Song Xiwei, he would have crushed those flies that tried to get close to her long ago.

But he was still genuinely afraid that Song Xiwei might back out, so Aoqian forced himself to suppress the bitterness in his heart and said to Song Xiwei, though he didn't mean it: "However, there are still plenty of beauties in Chidu. If you really like them, it's not impossible to arrange something for you..."

Song Xiwei didn't know what was wrong with her.

Upon suddenly hearing Aoqian mention arranging beauties for her, she felt incredibly agitated, even erupting in anger on the spot: "Young Master, what kind of person do you take me for? Am I helping you just to lust after the beauties of your Chidu? Even if I were lusting after them, it would be..."

Song Xiwei almost let it slip.

She stared at Ao Qian's unparalleled beauty. What beauty could possibly surpass Ao Qian's?

Is it necessary to arrange someone else for her?

Besides, does the absence of a beautiful woman mean I should betray him?

In the end, he still didn't trust himself.

Song Xiwei felt as if Aoqian had stabbed her in the heart, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

"I... I was just saying it casually. If you want a beauty, I, Chidu, can provide one that's no less beautiful than those from Penglai!" Aoqian said, nervously averting his gaze.

My ears are burning; for some reason, the word "beauty" feels like it's burning my tongue.

He even wanted to argue that he was a beauty in his own right, far superior to the ordinary beauties of Penglai.

If Song Xiwei weren't blind, she could tell who was better.

"Alright, young lord, don't say silly or angry things anymore. I'll find a chance to talk to Venerable Penglai about Penglai. Once my injuries have healed, we'll set off back to Chidu. Chidu is currently without a master, and I'm afraid it's in chaos."

Hearing that Song Xiwei didn't seem to be just giving him the runaround, Aoqian's expression softened a bit.

But she noticed that Song Xiwei's face was pale, and this time the injury was more serious than the previous ones.

If I hadn't promptly channeled my spiritual energy to protect her primordial spirit, she might never have woken up.

Aoqian dared not think about it; the thought made him furious.

"Song Xiwei, I still can't let you off so easily!"
