He carried a rock on his back that was as big as half a person. He dripped with sweat and shouted while panting: “Out of the way, out of the way. Dang, why are all of you standing around my house’s front door? Are they holding some kind of performance?”
The surrounding suddenly fell silent.
Countless eyes fell upon the youth.
He was still unaware so he couldn’t move forward. As such he just tilted his head and wiped away the sweat on his cheek on his shoulder.
“Please make way, I can’t stop practicing at the moment, if I stop then I’d lose all the progress I made today……”
The thin brown clothes he was wearing had long since been drenched in his sweat, dying it in a dark color.
Then someone in the crowd blunty spoke up while sneering: “Sir Guan, why are you making things so difficult for yourself? A vulgar martial artist cultivating such techniques won’t be able to break through into the celestial realm even after a lifetime of cultivation. If you have no talent for cultivation you should just admit to it. What’s wrong with being an ordinary man?”
Guan Heng wiped away his sweat again and pursed his lips. Instead of getting angry he just let out a low laugh.
The sunlight swept across youth’s firm and healthy wheat coloured skin and then fell on his grinning mouth, revealing his cute little canine teeth. His bright eyes were glowing with pride.
“I don’t care.”
He just blinked his eyes, shook his head and sighed: “I’m just afraid that my soon-to-be wife won’t be too happy about that”
That sarcastic man immediately shut his mouth dumbfoundedly.
The Guan families engagement contract is well known among the people of the Luo country.
In the end, it was the Guan family’s young master’s marriage contract that made the Guanfu so prosperous.
More than a decade ago, the patriarch of the Guan family saved a young man surnamed Xie. The young man, grateful to his savior, wrote them an engagement letter and betrothed his daughter who wasn’t even a month old to the Guan family’s young master.
Originally, that was just the action of two weak clans trying to join hands to protect each other. However just three years later, the young girl surnamed Xie was unexpectedly found to have all her meridians already open. She was a natural born cultivation genius and as soon as she was sent to the Central Academy all the teachers fought over her and finally went under the Academy’s Dean becoming his inner disciple.
On the path of cultivation, if one achieves success then even their associates will be able to ride on that success.
Just with this one woman, the Xie family was able to enter the circle of the rich and powerful, even the Guan family became wealthy, barely gaining a foothold in the Luoling country.
……However it lies in the nature of man that they can share trouble with each other, but not peace and happiness.
Guan Heng took a deep breath and lifted the huge rock back up on his back. He held a stale breath back inside his chest and he couldn’t relax his tension, or else–
The youth made his way into the crowd and caught a glimpse of the group in the middle.
“Bang!”
Guang Heng’s calfs trembled, his feet ceased to move forward and the rock which he held with his hands crashed down making a loud noise.
Having “the life experience of having a sexually active father” Guang Heng was used to seeing big red sedan chairs being carried to and fro from his house all year long. There were so many beautiful ladies whose names were unknown. So he thought that’s all there was to the beauties of the world.
But he has never seen such an extraordinary beauty like the one before him before — She had blue eyes like ice crystals, an unconventional temperament, an elegant and outstanding style, wearing a spotless white dress and no powder. She just wore a Spirit Ice Flower decoration near her temples. She surpassed the beauty of nearly every woman of this world.
Xie Ziyou also sized up the youth before him with curiosity.
