Chapter 63 Making up an excuse
"What a righteous and chivalrous person he is! He's pursuing me, that's his business, what does it have to do with me?"
Luo Le'er's eyes were somewhat cold.
Without the diary, perhaps her perspective and viewpoint would be similar to Xiaolian's.
But after learning the truth, she completely disregarded Xiao Potian.
“Xiao Lian, if you want to help Xiao Potian, that’s your business. Don’t speak up for him in front of me anymore. Also, no matter how bad Zhou Xianzong is, it’s not for you to talk about. Since you know that his men are wicked, you should keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, walls have ears, and if others find out, you might not be able to save your life.”
Luo Le'er didn't even consider it and rejected it outright, not forgetting to remind Xiao Lian.
Why are you dragging Zhou Xianzong into it when his subordinates did bad things?
It wasn't him who did it.
Besides, half of the disciples of Qingyang Sect are just following Zhou Xianzong around.
With so many people, can he manage them all?
If someone uses his name to do bad things, how can he know?
"Yes, Miss."
Seeing that Luo Le'er was angry, Xiao Lian didn't dare to say anything more.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. You may leave."
Luo Le'er waved her hand.
Xiao Lian responded and then withdrew.
After leaving Ya Yuan, her face was full of bitterness.
Originally, she had expected that Luo Le'er would readily give her a bone-healing herb.
Even if you know the truth, you shouldn't refuse.
I don't know why, but Miss has such a strong prejudice against Young Master Xiao.
For a moment, she was caught in a dilemma.
After all, he had promised Xiao Potian something in advance, but now he couldn't do it.
As for stealing, Xiaolian had considered it, but she knew that if she were discovered, it would definitely not end well.
In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
...
The Overlord Body Sect.
"Old brother, I'm sorry I failed to live up to your expectations and bring Luo Le'er to you."
After returning to the Overlord Body Sect, the old man with the umbrella-shaped sword immediately met with the sect leader.
"How could this be, Brother Umbrella? With your cultivation and hidden weapon skills, you actually failed?"
Li Badan said with some surprise.
He knew that while the old man with the umbrella knife might be slightly lacking in direct combat, he was a master of stealth attacks.
Unexpectedly, it failed.
Offer a word of comfort.
"Brother Umbrella, it's alright to admit defeat. The Qingyang Sect is heavily guarded. I'll be satisfied as long as you return safely."
Despite saying that, Li Badan was still a little unhappy.
I thought to myself, you've been famous for decades, and you can't even handle a little girl.
They even have the nerve to come back.
“Brother Badan, I had already successfully captured that little girl and was preparing to bring her back, but unexpectedly a young punk appeared out of nowhere, I think his name is Xiao Potian, and ruined my big plan. I couldn’t capture him in time, and I was afraid that my plan would be exposed, so I had to give up.”
Even now, the old man with the umbrella knife is still furious when he mentions Xiao Potian.
"What! It's Xiao Potian again! Damn it, this kid killed many of my sect's disciples in the Demon Beast Forest last time, and now he dares to ruin my plans!"
Li Ba's face turned pale with anger.
He exuded murderous intent and said through gritted teeth.
"My birthday is coming soon, and I will invite people from all sides to attend. If I have the chance, I will definitely skin Xiao Potian alive!"
"Alright, Brother Badan, leave this matter to me!"
The old man with the umbrella knife also said resentfully.
...
When Zhou Xianzong woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
He stretched, got up, and washed up.
When Erhu saw that Zhou Xianzong had woken up, he rushed over.
"Boss, there's an auction in town tomorrow. I heard there are a lot of good stuff. The auction organizers have sent someone over to invite you to attend."
An auction?
Zhou Xianzong paused for a moment, then carefully reviewed the plot.
It seems there really was such an auction.
Not only him, but Xiao Potian also participated.
As for why the people at the auction invited him, it's because Zhou Xianzong was, after all, a well-known figure.
He was hailed as the number one prodigy in Tianwu City and the number one person in Qingyang Sect. Given all these accolades, it's not surprising that he received an invitation.
In fact, the sect leaders, their disciples, prodigies, and other famous figures from Tianwu City were all invited.
But the only people Zhou Xianzong could remember who participated were Mo Wu and a few others, whom he couldn't recall clearly.
"Come with me tomorrow."
Zhou Xianzong said something casually.
"OK."
Erhu nodded, then asked another question.
"Should we notify Yingxi?"
"Why bother notifying her? The two of us are enough."
Zhou Xianzong was speechless. You really think of her as your sister-in-law?
"Oh, okay, I'll tidy up in a bit."
Erhu nodded.
"Wait for me at the sect gate tomorrow."
Zhou Xianzong pointed at him and said.
Erhu readily agreed and immediately went to prepare the carriage.
As the crown prince, Zhou Xianzong was too lazy to make such a fuss when he traveled alone.
But when he went out with Erhu and the others, Erhu would prepare everything without him having to say anything.
This is what a younger brother should do, and it's also why Zhou Xianzong thinks highly of Erhu.
Night falls.
Zhou Xianzong deliberately did not close the room door tightly.
It's not that I want to take advantage of you; it's just part of the plot.
I can't go against the plot, it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.
Just as Zhou Xianzong was waiting for his prey to come to him, Yingxi, who had locked herself in her room, was also nervously watching the closed door.
"According to the plot that Zhou Xianzong described, it seems that I am going to offer myself tonight, but... I'm really not ready."
Yingxi felt somewhat wronged.
She was indeed ruthless in the past.
But ever since she read the diary, she has changed a bit.
I'm no longer so fixated on it, and I think Zhou Xianzong's words don't seem to be wrong.
Even if you want revenge, there's no need to get yourself involved.
She couldn't help but ask herself, did she really love Zhou Xianzong?
That's definitely impossible.
No matter what, Yingxi has lived in hatred for the past ten or twenty years.
Her biggest goal used to be to destroy the Zhou Dynasty.
Even if her opinion of Zhou Xianzong has changed slightly, it cannot completely erase the hatred in her heart.
It's good enough if I don't hate you, how could I possibly still love you?
If you don't love her, why give yourself away?
Upon realizing this, Yingxi confirmed her thoughts.
Never mind, let's just leave it at that. If that pervert asks later, I can just make up some excuse.
Yingxi lay straight on the bed, covered her little head with the blanket, and fell asleep.
Poor Zhou Xianzong, he's still waiting.
"Damn it, it's almost midnight, are you even going to finish or not?"
After finishing his fifth set of push-ups, Zhou Xianzong, sweating profusely, muttered a complaint.
I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Logically speaking, Yingxi should have arrived long ago.
But for some reason, there has been no movement for a long time.
It made me do half a day of push-ups for nothing.
This guy's body's already warmed up, but the main course hasn't even arrived yet.
Damn it, what bad luck.
