Su Xiaoxiao stood up, stretched out her hands to hold Xiao Ning's hands, and said with a bright smile on her face:
"Brother Ning, I never thought you would recognize me twice! Xiaoxiao feels so sad, woooo~"
As she spoke, she deliberately acted aggrieved, as if she would cry at any moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Ning suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't expect you to have changed so much. You were just a little girl before, but now you have become so beautiful."
After hearing Xiao Ning's praise, Su Xiaoxiao's face flushed and she lowered her head shyly. Then she raised her fist and gently hit Xiao Ning's chest to express her dissatisfaction.
Suddenly a cough interrupted their actions. Xiao Ning subconsciously distanced herself from her, which made Su Xiaoxin feel dissatisfied. Bai Ziyun looked at Xiao Ning with a gloomy face, and then looked at the girl next to him.
"You are the little girl of Boss Su in this town, right? You've grown up so much that I almost didn't recognize you." Bai Ziyun said.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Ziyun, and remembered that she was the woman who often went to their house with Xiao Ning to buy wine. She smiled and said to Bai Ziyun: "It turned out to be Sister Bai! Long time no see! Now you are beautiful again!"
Bai Ziyun's mood gradually improved as she listened to Su Xiaoxiao's praise, and a smile appeared on her face. She said softly, "The little girl is quite sweet."
Xiao Ning looked at Bai Ziyun and secretly sighed that Bai Ziyun seemed to be in a good mood today. He turned to look at Ye Jinxuan and motioned her to come in and sit down. However, when Ye Jinxuan walked in, her eyes were attracted by a familiar figure. She widened her eyes, covered her mouth in astonishment, and showed an unbelievable expression on her face.
Xiao Ning and Bai Ziyun both noticed that Ye Jinxuan was different, and they turned to look at her. Ye Jinxuan was staring ahead, her body trembling slightly. Xiao Ning asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to Bai Ziyun, suddenly pointed at the person in front of her and shouted in horror: "Senior Sister Si...Tu! You! You are still alive!" Her voice was full of shock and fear.
Xiao Ning looked in the direction of Su Xiaoxiao's finger and found that the person she was pointing at was Xue'er. His brows slightly frowned, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart. Bai Ziyun looked at all this with a blank face.
Xue'er's face became very ugly. She was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Long time no see, Senior Sister Ye, Junior Sister Xiaoxiao." There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her tone, and she looked at Xiao Ning again.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it..."
Then she motioned for everyone to sit down and spoke slowly.
"My name is Sikong Xue. I was born in the Sikong family and am the daughter of the second in command. I was once the direct disciple of Wen Ning, the second elder of the Wanjian Sect, and I had an enviable status. However, fate is always full of drama.
In the early years, the Sikong family had a very good relationship with the Lin family. The two families decided to have an heir if they had one in the future. Later, my uncle gave birth to a baby boy, and my mother gave birth to me. So, I became the protagonist of this child marriage.
However, the head of the Lin family had never had any children, which made me secretly happy, thinking that I could escape this marriage. So, I resolutely became a disciple of the Wanjian Sect and started a new life.
As time went by, I gradually grew up, and the deadline for the engagement was getting closer. At this time, the head of the Lin family brought back a young man from somewhere, which attracted everyone's attention. At first, people praised this young man as a cultivation genius and placed high hopes on him. But for some reason, his cultivation suddenly declined, which made people confused.
Later, my parents told me that the master wanted to force me to marry Lin Fan, and my parents agreed. But how could I be willing to have my life arranged so casually? I want to control my own destiny! So, I resolutely went down the mountain and prepared to go to the Lin family to cancel the engagement in person.
At that time, when I first met Lin Fan, I felt a strong sense of discomfort in my heart. He looked at me as if I were a lamb to be slaughtered, and that contemptuous look made me sick. Originally, I planned to negotiate with him privately, hoping to resolve this issue peacefully, but he was too abominable. Not only did he ask for him to become a direct disciple of the Wanjian Sect, but he also asked the Sikong family to provide him with a large amount of training resources every year. Of course, I did not agree. In desperation, I had to make a three-year agreement in public and proposed to resolve the issue of our engagement through a martial arts competition. However, life is always full of drama. When I returned to the mountain full of confidence, reality slapped me hard in the face...
At this point, Xue'er's eyes became dim, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked and couldn't speak. Ye Jinxuan looked at her distressedly, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "It's okay, everything will be fine."
"I don't know what secret technique Lin Fan used, but in just three years, he not only recovered his strength, but also broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core! After defeating Xue'er in the competition, he ruthlessly destroyed her cultivation. According to the agreement, Xue'er should become Lin Fan's slave and be at his disposal. But Xue'er's parents felt sorry for their daughter and firmly opposed this result, and forcibly took her home. However, the Lin family put pressure on the Wanjian Sect and the Sikong Family, forcing them to surrender. In the end, Xue'er was returned to Lin Fan..."
"Later, on my way to the Lin family, I still didn't want to fall into Lin Fan's hands, so I stabbed myself in the chest with a dagger, wanting to end my life. However, Lin Fan did not help me. He just looked at me coldly, as if I was just an insignificant person. In the end, he threw me on the side of the road like throwing away garbage. At that moment, my heart was completely cold, and I was filled with despair and hatred for this world.
Xue'er took a deep breath and continued, "I thought that this was the end of my life, but then I was rescued by Master Xiao. Since then, I decided to hide my identity and no longer have anything to do with people and things in the past. I just want to be with you, Master." Her eyes were full of gratitude and affection, which moved people.
Xiao Ning scratched his head embarrassedly, with an awkward smile on his face.
"Hey, it's just a small favor from me." He said modestly.
Bai Ziyun turned to look at Xue'er, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Is that Lin Fan the one who asked me to accept him as my disciple at the disciple-taking ceremony?" she asked.
Xue'er nodded slightly to show her affirmation.
Bai Ziyun frowned slightly, as if he remembered something unpleasant.
"That's good. Fortunately, I didn't accept him as my disciple at that time." She said thankfully.
Then, Bai Ziyun's expression became somewhat displeased, and his tone was filled with a hint of disgust.
"I remember when I saw him, the way he looked at me made me feel very uncomfortable. It was a look like he was looking at prey, as if he wanted to do something disgusting and dirty to me. This feeling was so disgusting!" Bai Ziyun shuddered unconsciously as he spoke.
After hearing Bai Ziyun's description, Xiao Ning clenched his fists and anger appeared in his eyes.
