In his previous life, Nan Gongjing suffered a tragic betrayal and, despite being rescued, still met a miserable end. Now, returning to the eve of his awakening, he vows to make those who harmed him...
Chapter 157 Points out
Chapter 157 Points out
Zhang Shumo waited until Feng Xuanqiao sat down before sitting down next to him.
Feng Xuanqiao was already a little nervous, and when he saw Zhang Shumo still sticking to him and sitting next to him, he became even more nervous. Not only was he nervous, but he was also a little embarrassed.
Bing Linxuan couldn't stand Feng Xuanqiao's embarrassed look and said to Zhang Shumo in a bad mood.
"Get over here! Is there not enough chairs? Why are you insisting on sticking over there? Come on."
Bing Linxuan used to think that Zhang Shumo was smart and clever, but now he realized that he was smart when he shouldn't be, and stupid when he should be smart.
Feng Xuanqiao's embarrassment is so obvious, but he still doesn't know how to separate. Sometimes it's not good to force things too hard.
Zhang Shumo listened to Bing Linxuan's words. Although he was reluctant, he still walked over to Bing Linxuan and sat down.
After Zhang Shumo left, Feng Xuanqiao relaxed to a visibly degree.
This phenomenon made Bing Linxuan sigh in his heart. Zhang Shumo still has a long way to go to pursue his wife.
"Xuan Qiao, this brat Shu Mo might be a little unruly sometimes, but I can guarantee that he is absolutely sincere in his intentions."
His own disciple finally fell in love with someone, so what could Bing Linxuan do? Of course, he would help as much as possible.
Feng Xuanqiao was silent for a moment after hearing this. In fact, he could see Zhang Shumo's sincerity.
It was precisely because he knew that Zhang Shumo was sincere that Feng Xuanqiao didn't know what to do.
If Feng Xuanqiao really had no feelings for Zhang Shumo, he would not have allowed Zhang Shumo to stay by his side for such a long time.
She would not bring Zhang Shumo back to the Feng family, or even let him live in the Feng family under the pretext of pursuing her.
He would not follow Zhang Shumo into the palace to meet his master Bing Linxuan.
If Feng Xuanqiao really wants to refuse, there are many ways for him to do so.
He even directly and harshly refused. Zhang Shumo is not the kind of shameless person.
But Feng Xuanqiao didn't. Although he rejected Zhang Shumo, he didn't reject him completely. Instead, he felt a little shy.
This is also the reason why Zhang Shumo has been able to chase Feng Xuanqiao with such a thick face.
Feng Xuanqiao has a secret crush on Zhang Shumo, but the blow caused by his previous relationship was too great.
Feng Xuanqiao and his previous partner had known each other since childhood and had been together for so many years, but in the end, he still betrayed her.
Feng Xuanqiao and the other party can be said to be childhood sweethearts, and this is the ending that always comes when they are well-matched.
Zhang Shumo is much better than Feng Xuanqiao in both background and cultivation.
It can be said that the status of both parties has been unequal from the beginning. Can such an unequal relationship really go far?
Feng Xuanqiao can no longer afford to be injured. If he is injured again, Feng Xuanqiao really doesn’t know if he can bear it.
In fact, this is the biggest reason why Feng Xuanqiao has never dared to accept Zhang Shumo.
Bing Linxuan saw the dilemma in Feng Xuanqiao's eyes at a glance and knew that he did have some good feelings towards Zhang Shumo.
But Bing Linxuan couldn't guess what Feng Xuanqiao was worried about for a moment.
However, Bing Linxuan guessed that if he knew what Feng Xuanqiao was struggling with and helped him resolve it, perhaps Zhang Shumo and Feng Xuanqiao would be able to get together.
The only person present who knew what Feng Xuanqiao had been through was Nangong Jing.
Feng Xuanqiao is not a person who is good at hiding himself, so everyone can see the confusion in his eyes.
Compared to Zhang Shumo's heartache and everyone's confusion, Nangong Jing could guess some of Feng Xuanqiao's thoughts.
However, some things can only be solved by the person who tied the bell. Only Feng Xuanqiao himself can get out of it, otherwise no matter how much others say, it will be useless.
"Big Brother, I need your help with something. Can you accompany me to the backyard?"
Nangong Jing suddenly said to Zhang Shumo.
Zhang Shumo looked at Nangong Jing in confusion. He needed his help???
Nangong Jing gave Feng Xuanqiao a slight look, and Zhang Shumo immediately understood.
Xuanyuan Xingyao originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Nangong Jing.
"I just want to tell my senior brother something about Brother Xuan Qiao, so don't follow me."
Xuanyuan Xingyao had already stood up, but sat back down after hearing what was said.
Han Yan and Bing Linxuan had high cultivation levels, so even though Nangong Jing lowered his voice, they still heard it. When they saw Nangong Jing and Zhang Shumo walking towards the backyard, their eyes flickered.
"It seems like I'll be able to drink at Shumo's wedding soon."
Han Yan deliberately joked to Bing Linxuan.
Bing Linxuan's face was also full of smiles. Since Nangong Jing, his apprentice-in-law, had helped, it was natural for him, as his master, to do more.
"Shu Mo, that bastard, you have no idea how much of a scoundrel he was in the past. When he was young, I thought he was old enough, so I arranged a blind date for him. He agreed to every one of them, but every time he went, he would deliberately make himself look like a playboy, deliberately angering the other person and leaving."
Every time Bing Linxuan talked about the mess Zhang Shumo had done in the past, he felt helpless and troubled, and a little angry.
There was no way. Those girls were all friends' daughters or apprentices. Others arranged blind dates for them for Bing Linxuan's sake, but Zhang Shumo turned out to be such a wicked person.
Some friends thought that Zhang Shumo was really a playboy and that Bing Linxuan was trying to get married by fraud, and some of them even had a falling out with Bing Linxuan because of this.
There were also some people who knew the truth of the matter after the explanation, but Bing Linxuan was also blamed a lot.
It can be said that Bing Linxuan suffered a lot of "injustice" because of Zhang Shumo's blind date.
If Zhang Shumo had not been raised by Bing Linxuan himself, Bing Linxuan might have expelled him from the sect in anger.
Feng Xuanqiao didn't know much about Zhang Shumo's past.
All we know is that Zhang Shumo has been practicing with Bing Linxuan since he was a child. It can be said that he was brought up by Bing Linxuan, and the two are like real father and son.
Feng Xuanqiao had originally refused to agree to Zhang Shumo's pursuit, so Zhang Shumo naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to tell him about his previous blind date. What if Feng Xuanqiao misunderstood and refused to agree to him even more?
Bing Linxuan saw Feng Xuanqiao looking at him curiously, obviously interested in Zhang Shumo's past, and smiled slightly in his heart.
"That bastard is so annoying. You said you didn't want to go on a blind date and refused, so I can't force him to do it. But he always agrees to it, and then he deliberately makes me angry every time. Don't look at his age, he has never been in a relationship, he is very innocent."
Feng Xuanqiao widened his eyes in surprise. Zhang Shumo had never been in a relationship before, so it was hard to tell.
When Zhang Shumo was pursuing him, he used layer upon layer of tricks and was extremely shameless.
Feng Xuanqiao always thought that he was an old hand at love. This was one of the reasons why Feng Xuanqiao was a little hesitant to agree to Zhang Shumo. He was worried that he would be tricked and could not beat the other party, and would be abandoned in the end.
But now I am told that Zhang Shumo is actually a novice in love and has never been in a relationship.
Zhang Shumo had no idea that in just a short while, all his secrets had been exposed by Bing Linxuan.
"Ajing, do you have anything to tell me about Xiao Qiaoqiao?"
After arriving at a deserted place, Zhang Shumo didn't bother to be polite with Nangong Jing and asked directly.
Nangong Jing nodded slightly in response, and then said nothing more.
"Brother Xuan Qiao had a lover for many years before, you should know that."
"I know, and I also know that he betrayed Qiao Qiao, and you're just going to tell me about him???"
When Zhang Shumo talked about Feng Xuanqiao's ex-lover, his brows were furrowed and his face was full of disgust.
"They were originally a perfect match, but she ultimately betrayed Brother Xuanqiao. Senior Brother, whether in terms of cultivation or status, you are far superior to Brother Xuanqiao. The two of you were never on equal terms from the start, so it's inevitable that Brother Xuanqiao would have some concerns."
Nangong Jing looked at Zhang Shumo and said.
Zhang Shumo seemed to understand Nangong Jing's meaning and spoke thoughtfully.
"You mean, because Qiaoqiao and I are not equal in status, she feels insecure about our relationship and is therefore reluctant to accept my pursuit?"
"Let's put it this way: a relationship where the two are equal, or even where he's in the driver's seat, will eventually fail. So how can you guarantee that a relationship where the two are unequal, or where he's in a weaker position, will last until the end?"
Nangong Jing said earnestly.
Zhang Shumo really understood it now, but he also had a headache.
Things like status and position already exist, and Zhang Shumo has no way of changing it. Does that mean he should give up his own cultivation?
Not to mention that Zhang Shumo can't do it, even if Zhang Shumo can do it, if he dares to do so, Bing Linxuan will definitely cripple Feng Xuanqiao directly and force Feng Xuanqiao to accompany him.
"Big Brother, in the end, it's because you haven't given Brother Xuanqiao enough sense of security. Maybe your feelings are sincere, but your attitude is sometimes too frivolous, giving people the impression that you're playing games. For example, the way you address Brother Xuanqiao, I don't think any man would like to be called Xiaoqiaoqiao."
Nangong Jing looked at Zhang Shumo helplessly. Zhang Shumo was a very humorous person, and the atmosphere never got bad when they were together.
But after just a short time together, Nangong Jing discovered that Zhang Shumo was a little too humorous, or too eager to show off, when facing Feng Xuanqiao.
This actually seems a bit frivolous, and even gives people a feeling of playing with the world.
Nangong Jing's words were like a bolt of lightning, striking Zhang Shumo's heart fiercely and completely tearing apart the fog in his heart.
Zhang Shumo has been pursuing Feng Xuanqiao for such a long time, but Feng Xuanqiao has always refused and even avoided him occasionally.
This made Zhang Shumo feel helpless, distressed, and also a little discouraged.
Zhang Shumo always thought that he had not shown enough, so he tried hard to express his love for Feng Xuanqiao.
But now Nangong Jing told him that it was not that he did not perform well enough, but that he performed too much, which made Feng Xuanqiao misunderstand that he did not respect the other party, or did not put him on an equal footing.
"I understand, Xiaojing, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would take me to get over this misunderstanding. When I catch up with Xuanqiao, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."
After realizing his mistake, Zhang Shumo immediately changed the way he addressed Feng Xuanqiao.
When Feng Xuanqiao came back to his senses from the shock that Zhang Shumo had never been in a relationship, he saw Zhang Shumo and Nangong Jing coming back from the backyard.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Feng Xuanqiao always feels that there’s something different about Zhang Shumo. He seems to look much more stable???
Is Zhang Shumo steady? Is it possible? Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading.
