Chapter 44 Acacia Unilateralis

Early the next morning, Tong Tiexin drove the two carriages and brought her junior brothers and sisters to the entrance of the Marquis' Mansion of Ning Country.

"Senior Brother, the Marquis of Ning Country is too ignorant. Junior Sister Hong Jian is so outstanding, yet she is actually married to such a country boy. In my opinion, I have to talk to Ye Chengtai properly." The disciple who had previously opposed Ye Chengtai in the Marquis Mansion of Ning Country walked over to Tong Tiexin who was tidying up the carriage and said angrily.

"That's right! I don't think Junior Sister Hongjian has the slightest intention of objecting. It's really strange."

"She has been in Chang'an for a long time. If she goes to my Exquisite Pavilion and sees many talented young men like Senior Brother Tong, she will definitely regret it." The surrounding people were also secretly defending Tong Tiexin 's injustice.

"Stop talking." Tong Tiexin said coldly, interrupting everyone.

At that moment, his eyes narrowed. "A mere Aquarius Realm cultivator, if he was sensible, he would naturally cancel the engagement. If not, I will definitely make him suffer when he arrives at the Exquisite Pavilion!"

After Tong Tiexin finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the direction of the manor gate.

However, Ye Chengtai and Mu Yinyin led Ye Hongjian and Xu Han out of the manor.

At that time, the gloomy coldness on Tong Tiexin 's face instantly dissipated and turned into a pleasant spring breeze.

"Young Hero Tong has been waiting for a long time." Ye Chengtai cupped his hands and said to Tong Tiexin . The old fox's face was also full of smiles.

" Marquis , what are you talking about? We've only just arrived." As Tong Tiexin spoke, the corner of his eyes turned to look at Ye Hongjian behind him. A trace of fire flashed in his eyes at that time, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Hong Jian, Brother Xu, are you ready? If you're ready, we'll be ready to go." Then, he greeted Xu Han and Ye Hongjian with great enthusiasm. The warm smile on his face made it difficult for people to be on guard against him.

Ye Hongjian and Xu Han naturally nodded their heads in succession. After giving Ye Chengtai Mu a few words of explanation, they followed Tong Tiexin to the carriage.

The two of them were about to get into the carriage side by side. Ye Hongjian was in front of them and just as Xu Han was about to board the carriage, Tong Tiexin suddenly stretched out a hand and stopped Xu Han.

Xu Han was stunned and looked at Tong Tiexin in confusion.

"Brother Xu, I'm sorry. There's a difference between men and women. This carriage is prepared for Hongjian and the two junior sisters. Please feel wronged and go to that carriage." Tong Tiexin said with a smile.

The Linglong Pavilion included Tong Tiexin 's group of six, four men and two women.

Xu Han had originally thought that he and Ye Hongjian were nominally husband and wife after all, so it was only natural for the two of them to ride together. Hearing Tong Tiexin 's words, although he knew that he was doing it intentionally, he really couldn't pick out anything wrong with this logic. Moreover, he had already tried Ye Hongjian's trick, so he didn't want to have too much contact with it. Therefore, Tong Tiexin 's suggestion was exactly what Xu Han wanted.

Hence, Xu Han smiled and nodded.

"Big Brother Tong is right. I'm reckless." As he spoke, he turned around and went to another carriage.

Very quickly, the group boarded the carriage and bid farewell to Ye Chengtai and his wife. Then, they drove the carriage out of Chang'an City.

…

There were a total of eight people in the group.

Xu Han rode with the youngest Luo Yin and the tallest and skinniest Meng Shuge , and the strongest of them, Hu Daliang , drove the car. On Ye Hongjian 's side, three girls were riding together, and Tong Tiexin was driving the car herself.

It was most likely because he had more contact with Ye Hongjian that Tong Tiexin came up with this idea.

It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort. Xu Han looked through the window of the carriage at Tong Tiexin , who was gallantly chatting with the carriage, even though he was driving the carriage. He felt that it was somewhat funny.

Behind this seemingly harmless Ye Hongjian was an extremely deep castle. Tong Tiexin had grown a few years older, but now that he was obsessed with perverts, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid suffering a loss from the Marquis' daughter's hands in the future.

Of course, these matters had nothing to do with Xu Han, and he was unwilling to interfere.

Thinking of this, Xu Han withdrew his gaze and was about to close his eyes to rest.

"Senior apprentice-brother Tong is a disciple of our Linglong Pavilion's Sword Hall. He has already reached the Three Elements Realm at a young age. I heard that he has recently touched the threshold of the Nether Opening Realm. I estimate that he will be able to take that step and become a personal disciple in less than a year's time." But at that time, Luo Yin suddenly opened his mouth and said with a strange tone.

Seeing that Xu Han had been looking at the situation on the other carriage, he thought that the other party was feeling depressed, so he said these words in an attempt to let Xu Han understand the difference between him and Tong Tiexin .

"That's right, Senior Brother Tong is exceptionally talented. We are far from being able to match him." The tall and skinny Meng Shuge beside him also took over the conversation and sighed. Afterwards, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned to Xu Han and asked curiously, "Brother Xu is valued by Marquis Ye. I think there is something extraordinary about him. I wonder what cultivation realm he has reached now?"

Xu Han didn't have any Qi in his body. In other words, from the perspective of an ordinary martial artist, Xu Han was at most at the Treasure Aquarius Realm. Luo Yin and Meng Shuge naturally could see this point. With this question, they simply wanted to use it to humiliate Xu Han.

Xu Han naturally understood their thoughts. He wasn't angry because of this. He only smiled slightly and responded faintly, "I'm ashamed to say that I was in a calamity when I was young. My meridians in my body were disordered, and I haven't condensed any internal strength yet. This makes you two laugh."

Neither of them had expected Xu Han to give such an answer. They were both slightly stunned.

"Well, that's a pity." Meng Shuge , who was the first to regain his senses, glanced at his mouth with a look of regret and said, "No wonder Brother Xu wanted to join Marquis . Marquis also valued affection and righteousness. For Brother Xu's sake, he was actually able to marry Junior Sister Hong Jian to you."

Meng Shuge did not finish his sentence, but the meaning behind it was obvious.

On the other hand, Luo Yin , who was beside him, couldn't bear to hear what Xu Han said.

Although he was young and vigorous, he did not have any bad intentions. Those words from before were only about Ye Hongjian marrying someone like Xu Han. After hearing what happened to Xu Han, he looked at his senior brother who was still trying his best to humiliate Xu Han. He felt that something was wrong. However, in the end, he did not have the courage to speak out for Xu Han.

This was often the case for people in this world.

Great traitors and great evils. In the end, there were only a small number of people who were completely devoid of conscience, but most of them were ordinary people like Luo Yin .

He knew what was right and what was wrong, but when it came to Little Good and Little Evil, it was unclear. Once he hesitated, he would inevitably be influenced by the people around him and do something against his will. The so-called wise people are more and self-aware people are less, which is generally the case.

Hearing Meng Shuge's words, Xu Han's eyes narrowed. Although he didn't say anything, he looked straight at Meng Shuge with a faint cold light flashing in his eyes.

Meng Shuge , who was originally secretly pleased with himself, was shocked by Xu Han's gaze, and he actually felt a bit of fear in that instant.

However, he quickly regained his senses and secretly felt embarrassed that he was actually afraid of trash like Xu Han. As he thought this, the feeling of embarrassment turned into anger, and he blamed Xu Han for it.

His face instantly turned red, and a faint flame rose in his eyes as he looked at Xu Han.

"Brother Xu, do you think I'm wrong?" He gritted his teeth and said, his voice filled with a strong sense of provocation.

Luo Yin was shocked when he heard this. He was naturally very clear about his senior brother's temperament. From his tone, Luo Yin could tell that Meng Shuge was truly furious. Although Xu Han was not happy with it, his cultivation was still too low. If he really fought, he was afraid that he would inevitably get hurt. Luo Yin, on the other hand, couldn't bear it. At that time, he repeatedly winked at Xu Han, signaling him to surrender and not compete with Meng Shuge.

"Brother Meng's words are naturally correct." Xu Han turned a blind eye to Luo Yin 's good intentions. He looked straight at Meng Shuge and said calmly. "I'm not very good at cultivation, so I'm naturally not worthy of the Hongjian ."

Once these words were spoken, Luo Yin and Meng Shuge were stunned. They never expected Xu Han to admit this matter so frankly.

But before they could understand Xu Han's thoughts, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

"But no matter how unworthy he is, he was personally appointed by the Marquis. If Brother Meng is unfair to Hongjian, he can tell the Marquis separately. Isn't it a bit too much of a daughter to be here with me?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Meng Shuge 's expression changed again. He suddenly stood up and pointed at Xu Han, wanting to curse.

"Furthermore, even if Brother Meng doesn't want to tear down Marquis ' arena and can't bear the burden of being dragged down by me, that's fine. However, I would like to ask, in what capacity did Brother Meng speak for Hong Jian to express his dissatisfaction?"

"If it's Senior Brother, then Marquis is my elder. I've been ordered to get married, and it's hard to get rid of him. No matter how angry Brother Meng is, I still have to report to Marquis or Master Red Note to lobby him. That's the right path. No matter how bad it was, he still had to ask the meaning of the Hongjian and judge it. But what about Brother Meng? You and I have a plain taste in our lives, and we have spoken evil against each other since we first met, with thorns in our tongue, and needles hidden in our mouths. Is it because I, Xu Han, am weak and can easily be bullied? "

"You!!!" Xu Han's words were reasonable and tit-for-tat, causing Meng Shuge , who had thought that he would win, to be stupefied for a moment. He could only point at Xu Han, "You, you, you," but he couldn't spit out any words.

"But the Linglong Pavilion is a decent sect of the Great Zhou Empire. I didn't think it would be able to teach a disciple like Brother Meng. In that case, I dare to speculate that Brother Meng admired beauties and did such inappropriate things."

"If that's the case, I understand. After all, the red letter is really beautiful. How about I tell the red letter now? If she agrees, I'll be a beauty. I'll report everything to Marquis and cancel the engagement."

Xu Han smiled and said, his expression extremely serious.

After saying this, under Luo Yin and Meng Shuge 's surprised gaze, he turned around and stopped the carriage and walked straight down.

"Stop, stop! Hongjian, I have something to tell you!" Only when Xu Han shouted loudly from outside did the two of them regain their senses.

They were immediately shocked. Could it be that Xu Han was really this stupid? If he said those words, his Meng Shuge would inevitably be ruined by the reputation of a toad wanting to eat swan meat. At that time, even if he jumped into the Li River, he would not be able to wash it clean. Moreover, he was afraid that he would be suspected by Tong Tiexin , so wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses at that time?

He couldn't care less and quickly ran out of the carriage, trying to stop Xu Han before he said those rash words.

At this time, Tong Tiexin stopped the carriage doubtfully. Looking at Xu Han, Ye Hongjian also heard Xu Han's shout and leaned out of the carriage.

"No!" Meng Shuge , who had just gotten out of the car, let out a cry of alarm, wanting to stop him.

However, it was too late.

At that time, Xu Han grinned and asked Ye Hongjian .

"Do you have anything to eat?"
