I don’t know how much time has passed.
"Nianci? Are you there?" Chu Lingxi's voice came from outside the door.
Gu Nianci hurriedly stood up and straightened her clothes and expression: "Yes, Master, please come in."
Chu Lingxi pushed the door open and walked in. She keenly noticed her junior sister's unnatural complexion and swollen lips. She raised her eyebrows and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her normal state and jokingly said, "It seems that you and Haitian are getting along very well? Could it be... hum?"
"Master." Gu Nianci's face turned red again, "Don't talk nonsense... How can it be so fast?"
"I didn't say anything." Chu Lingxi said with a smile, "But Lei Yi is already on his way!"
Gu Nianci's smile froze instantly: "Lei Yi? Why would he suddenly..."
"Of course he heard that I brought back an outstanding genius, Qin Haitian, and he panicked! He was worried that something might happen to your marriage!" Chu Lingxi observed Gu Nianci's reaction and said softly, "Nianci, if you really don't want this marriage, it's not too late to say it now."
Gu Nianci lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers unconsciously: "But won't it bring shame to the sect if we cancel the engagement at the last minute..."
Chu Lingxi held her hand and said solemnly: "This is not something you should consider. As long as you say you don't like Lei Yi, I will start to act!"
"I, I really don't like Lei Yi!" Gu Nianci took a deep breath and then spoke.
"What about Qin Haitian?" Chu Lingxi spoke again and asked solemnly.
When she mentioned Qin Haitian, Gu Nianci's heart was beating again. She remembered him confidently saying, "With just one word from you, your engagement with Lei Yi will become mine."
Can he really do it?
At this moment, her mind was filled with Qin Haitian's gentle yet domineering kiss.
"I, I don't like Lei Yi, I like Master Qin!" After saying this, Gu Nianci's pretty face blushed to the extreme.
"Well, I know what to do!" Chu Lingxi chuckled.
Since Qin Haitian was interested, and after half a day of contact, he actually hooked the heart of his disciple Gu Nianci, which made her feel very complicated. Qin Haitian is really capable!
She was a little curious about how Qin Haitian did it. You know, although Gu Nianci had no experience in love, she was chaste. Even the excellent Lei Yi had been pursuing her for thousands of years but failed. Qin Haitian was able to win Gu Nianci's heart in just half a day. He really lived up to the title that everyone gave him - that is, a love saint!
“Hmm? Lei Yi and his father Lei Guangxian, as well as the sect master are here. Let’s go out and meet them!” Chu Lingxi took a deep breath and spoke.
"So fast?" Gu Nianci's expression changed when she heard that.
"It's already very slow. After all, Lei Yi's fiancée has been seduced away by a new young talent!" Chu Lingxi joked when he heard it.
"Master..." Gu Nianci couldn't help stamping her feet in shame when she heard that.
......
In the hall.
After some polite exchanges, everyone took their seats.
However, Lei Yi, dressed in black, did not sit down, but stood in the middle of the hall, his posture straight as a sword drawn from its sheath. He had a handsome but stern face, with an innate arrogance between his brows, which was completely different from Qin Haitian's romantic and dashing appearance. Of course, in terms of handsomeness, he was far inferior to Qin Haitian.
"Senior Brother Lei, why don't you take a seat?" Gu Nianci looked at Lei Yi standing in the middle of the living room, frowned slightly, and her voice was so calm that even she was surprised.
Lei Yi's sharp eyes scanned her from head to toe, as if he was inspecting his possessions.
"Junior Sister Nianci." He nodded slightly, looking down at her without much warmth in his tone: "I heard that a man came to your residence today and didn't leave?"
Gu Nianci's heart skipped a beat, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face. She said in a deep voice, "Mr. Qin is Master's guest and is staying at my place temporarily. What's wrong?"
Lei Yi sneered, "You actually let a cultivator of unknown origin live in your residence?? Nianci, you are my Lei Yi's fiancée, you should be careful about your words and actions."
This commanding tone made Gu Nianci feel angry. She raised her head and looked directly into Lei Yi's eyes: "Brother Lei, although we are engaged, I am not your appendage. It is my freedom to date anyone."
A trace of surprise flashed across Lei Yi's eyes, followed by anger: "You have a bad temper. It seems that this person has indeed had a great influence on you." He stepped forward and grabbed Gu Nianci's wrist, "Remember your identity! Our Lei family will not allow the future young lady to have an affair with other men!"
"Let me go!" Gu Nianci struggled, but couldn't break free from his iron-like hands.
When Chu Lingxi saw this scene, his expression changed, and he was about to wave his hand to teach Lei Yi a lesson. At this moment, Lei Guangxian laughed and released a barrier calmly, blocking Chu Lingxi's attack!
"You and I should not get involved in the affairs between them as an engaged couple!"
“Lei Guangxian, I am the master of my own disciples. I don’t recognize the marriage contract you mentioned at all!” Chu Lingxi said coldly.
The leader of the Shenhuang Sect was trembling with fear, feeling that he shouldn't be here. Being stuck between the two supreme elders, he felt like he was in a difficult position.
"Mr. Lei is so majestic!" Suddenly, a lazy but dangerous voice came from the door. This voice seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, making people feel cold.
Gu Nianci turned her head suddenly and saw Qin Haitian leaning against the door frame with a faint smile on his face, but that smile did not have the slightest warmth. Instead, it revealed an elusive chill.
Upon seeing this, Lei Yi immediately loosened his grip on Gu Nianci's hand. His face became extremely gloomy. He looked at Qin Haitian coldly and said sternly, "Are you here to steal my fiancée?"
Qin Haitian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling, and replied slowly: "It's too harsh to say it's snatching. I think it's more appropriate to describe it as fair competition." After that, he slowly walked into the room, and every step seemed so calm and unhurried.
When Qin Haitian's eyes fell on Gu Nianci's red wrist, a barely perceptible chill flashed across his eyes. However, this chill was fleeting, and he quickly returned to his calm demeanor.
"I have heard of Mr. Lei's great name for a long time," Qin Haitian continued slowly, "Many people say that you are a jerk worse than pigs and dogs. I didn't quite believe it before, but after seeing you today, it is true... your reputation is well-deserved!"
When Lei Yi heard this, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He could never have imagined that Qin Haitian would insult him so mercilessly.
"What did you say?" Lei Yi was furious, his voice trembling with anger.
"Oh? So he's deaf!" Qin Haitian was not afraid at all when he saw this. Instead, he sighed, "How pitiful!"
Lei Yi's anger was completely ignited, and his eyes were almost spitting fire. He roared: "You, damn it!" Before he finished speaking, his figure rushed towards Qin Haitian like a flash of lightning, as fast as the wind, with a terrifying momentum.
