After calmly drinking a mouthful of tea, Lu Xiaoran’s expression did not change. He did not even look at this so-called Holy Maiden.
However, this did not mean that he was unprepared.
As the saying goes, there was no free lunch in the world.
Coincidentally, this Seven Water Pavilion suddenly wanted to give him a girl. It was as if he was a pimp. The other party was either bootlicking or had bad intentions.
He swept his divine sense over and indeed, there was clearly a trace of helplessness, resentment, and unwillingness in the Holy Maiden’s eyes.
Not to mention that Lu Xiaoran was not interested in women for the time being, even if he was, he would not dare to bring such a woman home.
If he brought such a woman home, who knew what kind of trouble she would cause?
Moreover, Lu Xiaoran felt this series of events felt quite familiar.
However, he felt that something was missing.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, an extremely discordant voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
“In order to suck up to a young master of an aristocratic family, the grand Seven Water Pavilion actually gave up their Holy Maiden. Is this how the Seven Water Pavilion behaves?”
As soon as he said this, the entire scene was instantly shocked. Everyone’s gazes were cast towards the other party.
In the corner of the hall of the Seven Water Pavilion stood a strong youth. He stood on the spot proudly and clenched his fists. His eyes revealed 30% ridicule and 70% arrogance.
Although he was only at the Emperor Realm, he was not afraid at all.
Lu Xiaoran suddenly understood.
Now, everything made sense.
In one of the classic scenes of brainless novels, the Holy Maiden the protagonist liked would be sent to be another person’s woman. The protagonist would appear angrily and then be beaten up by the sect master. Then, he would arrogantly challenge the sect master to a battle and the other party’s intelligence would drop.
Three months later, he would counterattack and kill the powerful enemy. In another three months, he would destroy the entire Lu family and burn their bones and scatter their ashes.
However, speaking of which, Lu Xiaochen was supposed to be here today.
In the end, he had accidentally replaced him.
Could it be that his cousin was one of his potential disciples?
At this moment, Wang Cai’s voice suddenly sounded.
Ding… detected hot shot. Master, please kill him. There will be a reward. ‘
Indeed, since this brat was a hot shot, his cousin should be the corresponding villain.
Thinking of this, he asked, “Wang Cai, can I take my cousin in as a disciple?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because he didn’t go against the hot shots.”
Lu Xiaoran immediately understood.
Originally, his cousin was supposed to be the one who went against the hot shots. However, he did not show up. Instead, Lu Xiaoran took his place. In other words, he had become the villain.
Damn, he felt that his status had decreased a little. In the past, he had always taken in disciples who were villains. Now, he had directly become a villain.
Could it be that he was supposed to take himself in as his own disciple?
What was the difference between this and him becoming his own father?
Just as Lu Xiaoran was complaining in his heart, the sect master of the Seven Water Pavilion had already spoken.
“Shut up, Yang Jian. You bastard, how dare you spout nonsense in front of Young Master Lu. Are you tired of living?”
Yang Jian was unmoved at all. He smiled coldly and mocked again.
“I’m talking nonsense? Am I not telling the truth? Your Seven Water Pavilion has done something embarrassing, but you still don’t allow others to say it?”
“Yang Jian, aren’t you also a member of the Seven Water Pavilion? How stupid are you to scold yourself?”
“Hmph! From today onwards, I, Yang Jian, am no longer a member of your Seven Water Pavilion. I…”
“Enough!”
Just as Yang Jian was about to continue, Ling Qingxue suddenly spoke again and stopped Yang Jian.
“Senior Sister, I…”
Ling Qingxue said coldly, “I agreed to be Young Master Lu’s maidservant myself. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Stop fooling around.”
“But you weren’t willing at all!”
“You’re not me. How do you know that I’m unwilling?”
As soon as she said this, she struck Yang Jian’s body fiercely like a bolt of lightning, making his originally proud and upright body suddenly sway and stagger two steps back.
“Senior Sister, is what you said… true?!”
Pain flashed in Ling Qingxue’s eyes, but she quickly said firmly, “That’s right, it’s true!”
Yang Jian clenched his fists and smiled coldly.
“Alright! Alright! Alright!”
He said the word “good” three times in a row. Be it his posturing aura or his lines, they were all within Lu Xiaoran’s expectations.
He would probably also say, “Ling Qingxue, I was wrong about you. I didn’t expect you to be such a woman. To think that I, Yang Jian, have always liked you. I was really blind!”
In the next second, indeed, Yang Jian gritted his teeth and said word by word,
“Ling Qingxue, I was wrong about you. I didn’t expect you to be such a woman. To think that I, Yang Jian, have always liked you. Now, it seems that I was really blind.”
Lu Xiaoran raised his eyebrows slightly. Apparently, he had guessed wrongly. This Yang Jian actually added in a few extra words.
However, what happened next was still within Lu Xiaoran’s expectations. Ling Qingxue’s delicate body trembled imperceptibly. She bit her red lips tightly and her eyes were about to turn misty, but she did not say a word.
According to normal logic, she must have said this on purpose to protect Yang Jian. In the future, after the two of them put aside their differences, they would also do it on Lu Xiaoran’s tomb.
Perhaps they might even get excited and switch their positions.
Then, Yang Jian would look at his tombstone arrogantly and roar with laughter. He would proclaim arrogantly to the tombstone, “Lu Xiaoran, did you see that? This is how Ling Qingxue should be used!”
Unfortunately, Lu Xiaoran had not said a word since the beginning!
From the beginning to the end, he was only a bystander.
He felt aggrieved!
He was innocent!
He was simply unfortunate!
“Yang Jian, don’t go overboard. First, you humiliated Young Master Lu, and then you humiliated my Seven Water Pavilion’s Holy Maiden. Do you really think you’re a big shot? If I don’t teach you a lesson, I’m afraid you really don’t know your place!”
Yang Jian sneered and said, “Do you think I’m afraid of you? You’re all shameless!”
Seeing that everyone was about to attack and deal with Yang Jian, Ling Qingxue immediately panicked.
She immediately knelt in front of Lu Xiaoran.
“Young Master Lu, although Yang Jian doesn’t know how to speak, he once saved me. Young Master Lu, can you let him off for my sake?”
Ling Qingxue was very smart. She knew that the most powerful person present was Lu Xiaoran. Only Lu Xiaoran could save Yang Jian.
Saving Yang Jian was only a matter of a casual word from Lu Xiaoran.
Unfortunately, Lu Xiaoran looked at her with a faint smile.
“Ordinary people who oppose me basically have to die. Why should I let Yang Jian off?”
Ling Qingxue’s heart trembled. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms.
She gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
“If Young Master Lu is willing to let Yang Jian off, Qingxue… is willing to do anything for Young Master Lu.”
As soon as he said this, how could Yang Jian not understand Ling Qingxue’s thoughts? She was clearly protecting him.
It was laughable that he had actually misunderstood Ling Qingxue just now. He must have broken her heart!
However, this also made him hate Lu Xiaoran even more. Then, he stared fixedly at Lu Xiaoran and gritted his teeth.
“Lu, don’t you just have a good father? If not for your surname being Lu, who do you think you are? Do you think you’re qualified to touch my senior sister?”
Before Lu Xiaoran could speak, the people from the Seven Water Pavilion had already begun to attack and deal with Yang Jian.
“Bastard! You’re courting death!”
Several big shots attacked and instantly forced Yang Jian back.
Even the sect master of the Seven Water Pavilion, a God Realm cultivator, had attacked. Yang Jian was simply unable to resist.
However!
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Ling Qingxue suddenly drew a long sword and placed it on her neck.
“Stop!”
The Seven Water Pavilion’s sect master was so furious that he collapsed.
“Qingxue, what are you doing? Are you crazy?”
“I’m not crazy! Sect Master, I’ve already promised you to be Young Master Lu’s personal maidservant. Please don’t force me. Let Yang Jian off.”
“You traitor, are you trying to anger me to death?”
Ling Qingxue ignored him and only stared fixedly at Lu Xiaoran.
“Young Master Lu, I only beg you to let Yang Jian off. I said that I’m willing to do anything for you!”
“Does that include death?”
Ling Qingxue was first stunned before asking in disbelief,
“Young Master Lu, what did you say?”
Lu Xiaoran said with an indifferent expression, “Didn’t you say that you’re willing to do anything for me? Then commit suicide. As long as you commit suicide, I’ll let this brat go.”
Ling Qingxue’s face suddenly turned pale, and Yang Jian roared, “Lu, if you dare to kill my senior sister, I’ll definitely destroy your entire family!”
Lu Xiaoran did not even look at him and continued to stare fixedly at Ling Qingxue.
Ling Qingxue gritted her teeth and took a deep breath.
“Young Master Lu, are you for real?”
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
“Then do it.”
“Alright!”
Ling Qingxue nodded. Yang Jian was unable to break free from the others and could only roar,
“Senior Sister, don’t listen to him. Don’t commit suicide! You can’t commit suicide!”
Then, he roared at Lu Xiaoran,
“Lu, stop immediately. Otherwise, I’ll definitely kill you. I’ll definitely destroy your entire family! I’ll destroy the entire Lu family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoran suddenly attacked. With a thought, an invincible force instantly bombarded Ling Qingxue’s body.
Bang!
In an instant, Ling Qingxue was shattered into a bloody mist by Lu Xiaoran.
He had already found Ling Qingxue annoying. This Yang Jian was still talking nonsense.
He decided to directly kill Ling Qingxue with a punch.
“No!”
Yang Jian’s eyes were scarlet red from anger. He gritted his teeth and the blood in his entire body kept flowing rapidly. His aura actually began to vaguely strengthen, as if there was a special energy supporting him. He actually slowly forced away the elders and sect master of the Seven Water Pavilion.
Everyone’s expressions instantly changed.
“This aura, something’s wrong. He actually hid his cultivation. He’s not a Emperor Realm expert. He’s already a Saint Realm expert!”
