Chapter 26 The Benevolent Soul of Nine Lifetimes, How Can You Speak Ill of Young Master Jiang

“The night is indeed getting late. Tonight’s events... thank you, Young Master Minghan. Hongdou will take her leave with her younger brother.”

Xiao Hongdou glanced once more at the night sky outside the hall, feeling how fast time had flown. At this moment, she even felt a deep sense of reluctance.

She wasn’t sure if she’d ever have another chance to interact with Jiang Minghan like she did today.

She had to admit, talking with Jiang Minghan earlier made her feel unprecedented joy and ease, she could speak freely.

From childhood memories to embarrassing moments, she shared everything, even if it was just to see Jiang Minghan smile.

Jiang Minghan’s eloquence and insights left her in awe and admiration, never thinking there could be such a divine and elegant man in this world.

Seeing is believing, as the saying goes.

For the first time in over twenty years, she felt genuine happiness and satisfaction.

“Take care, Miss Hongdou. If we have time in the future, we shall meet again.”

Jiang Minghan smiled slightly, standing up from his seat.

Xiao Hongdou nodded, feeling a rush of anticipation despite knowing it might just be a polite remark.

Soon, the butler of the City Lord’s Mansion personally led Xiao Hongdou and Xiao Yan out of the hall, preparing to escort them back to the dilapidated stone gambling shop of Qingxu Holy Land.

Seeing this, the other influential figures also got up to take their leave, bringing their young followers who came to broaden their horizons.

Today in the hall, they had seen firsthand Jiang Minghan’s attitude towards Qingxu Holy Land.

From now on, they would have to treat Qingxu Holy Land with great care.

“System...”

Watching Xiao Hongdou and the others disappear from the hall, Jiang Minghan’s smile faded, returning to a calm expression, his eyes devoid of emotion.

He called out to the system in his mind.

He had gained enough favor.

Now, he wanted to know the true background of Xiao Hongdou, who was almost a golden legend.

Soon, various information about Xiao Hongdou appeared before Jiang Minghan.

Name: Xiao Hongdou

Age: 21

Cultivation: Initial Stage of Divine Ability Realm

Background: Benevolent Soul of Nine Lifetimes...

“A benevolent person of nine lifetimes, with immense fortune, protected by heavenly virtue?”

Xiao Hongdou, in a great mood and even humming softly, and a sullen, silent Xiao Yan, got off.

“Miss Hongdou, I’ll take my leave.” The butler of the City Lord’s Mansion, who drove the carriage, smiled.

“Take care.” Xiao Hongdou smiled back.

She then opened the dilapidated door, intending to go inside.

But she saw Xiao Yan standing there, looking displeased.

“Xiao Yan... what’s wrong...”

Xiao Hongdou asked, puzzled.

It seemed her younger brother had been silent and cold since they left for the banquet.

“Is it because I talked to Young Master Minghan and ignored you?”

“I’m sorry...”

Her face showed guilt, realizing she had been so engrossed in talking to Jiang Minghan, she neglected her brother.

In Xiao Hongdou’s eyes, her younger brother was like her child.

So, it was normal for him to act up sometimes.

Tonight, she hadn’t considered his feelings.

“Sister...”

Xiao Yan didn’t expect her to say that, his cold expression stiffening.

He had many arguments ready but didn’t know what to say.

“Sister, I’m not angry. I just want to tell you, the young master of the hidden immortal clan isn’t as perfect as you think. What you see is just his facade...”

“Don’t be deceived by him.” Xiao Yan sighed.

Mentioning the young master, his eyes flashed with coldness.

To him, his sister was too kind, easily charmed by Jiang Minghan’s words.

He didn’t understand why Jiang Minghan seemed so interested in his sister.

It wasn’t just about helping Qingxu Holy Land. Xiao Yan felt Jiang Minghan had ulterior motives.

But he didn’t know what they were yet.

“Xiao Yan... how can you speak like that about Young Master Minghan...”

“He... he helped Qingxu Holy Land a lot tonight. You saw it too...”

Hearing Xiao Yan’s words, Xiao Hongdou was stunned, then her eyes dimmed as she explained, “If you don’t like Young Master Minghan, I won’t mention him again.”

“In the future, we probably won’t interact with him anyway.”
