A line of tears flowed from Xia Qingzhu's eyes. She slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Xuan. Her voice trembled as she said, "I came to find you today to ask you, if I'm willing to leave the Xia family, can we return to the past?"
Looking at the tears on Xia Qingzhu's face, Ye Xuan was stunned. Then, he slowly shook his head and said, "Once you miss something, you can never go back. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"Hey, what's wrong with you? My sister came all the way here to find you. How can you treat her like this?" The girl's face flushed red as she scolded Ye Xuan.
"Who are you?" Ye Xuan asked calmly as he looked at the girl's unruly appearance.
"I'm her younger sister. I just want to tell you that my sister is about to marry into Japan. I came this time because I hope you can take her away because she has never forgotten you," the girl said with a red face.
"Marry into Japan?" Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Qingzhu silently. No one could tell what he was thinking.
"So you're getting married. Congratulations." Ye Xuan's voice was still calm.
Xia Qingzhu bitterly smiled as she looked at Ye Xuan, who didn't move at all. Her eyes were filled with despair, and at this moment, she trembled as she took out a wedding invitation and handed it over to Ye Xuan. Her voice was bitter as she said, "Seven days from now is my engagement day. I hope you can personally come and give me your blessings."
"Okay, I'll definitely be there."
Ye Xuan took the wedding invitation and walked out of the coffee shop. However, after taking a few steps, Ye Xuan suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Qingzhu. He said in a low voice, "Don't you want to say something to me?"
Looking at Ye Xuan's calm face, Xia Qingzhu held her breath. Then, she slowly shook her head and did not say anything else. However, a trace of guilt flashed across her eyes.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face. He did not stay any longer. He walked out of the coffee shop and gradually disappeared from Xia Qingzhu's sight.
In the coffee shop!
Xia Qingzhu's eyes drooped as streams of tears flowed out of her eyes. When she raised her head again, her face was already covered in tears.
"Ye Xuan, I'm … I'm sorry … I'm really sorry … Please don't blame me …"
"It seems that you were right. He is indeed a heartless person. You have done well this time. As long as this matter is completed, we will definitely not treat you unfairly."
The young girl's angry face gradually turned gloomy, and her voice was extremely cold. She no longer looked like a young girl. Instead, she looked like a terrifying killer who had experienced the world for a long time.
…
Inside Qingyun Lodge.
Ye Xuan clasped his hands behind his back as he gazed into the distant sky. His eyes were deep and filled with the vicissitudes of life as he slowly muttered.
"Xia Qingzhu, I've already given you a chance. It's you who doesn't know how to cherish it. In that case, let me see exactly what you want to do."
The eyes were the windows to the soul. No matter how good a person's acting skills were, they would more or less give the game away.
Ye Xuan knew Xia Qingzhu very well. Although this woman concealed it very well, Ye Xuan could still see some things from her eyes.
Hatred, helplessness, guilt, and some indescribable emotions.
The young girl beside Xia Qingzhu seemed to be an ordinary person. She had cultivated some kind of technique that completely concealed her cultivation. She didn't dare to reveal anything in front of Ye Xuan.
But who was Ye Xuan? He was a cultivator at the Tribulation Stage and had a half-immortal body. He was very sensitive to auras. With a simple glance, Ye Xuan could tell that the young girl was a Connate Martial Artist.
Although Ye Xuan didn't know what Xia Qingzhu wanted to do, it didn't matter. Because Ye Xuan knew that some ants couldn't help but want to attack him. They were afraid of his cultivation and didn't dare to do it openly. They could only use Xia Qingzhu to achieve their goal.
…
Seven days later.
Caesar Hotel, Jiangnan City.
All kinds of luxurious cars were parked in front of the hotel. Celebrities from all walks of life came out of the cars. Master Xia was greeting the guests with a smile on his face.
Inside the Caesar Hotel.
Guests gathered in twos and threes. They held red wine glasses and talked from time to time. It was as if they were here for a party instead of a wedding banquet. However, they looked out of the corner of their eyes from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone to appear.
"Today is my daughter's engagement banquet. I, Xia Tiejun, am honored to have all my old friends here. Here's a toast to you."
Xia Tiejun raised his glass to toast the guests, but he only got a sparse response. This made Xia Tiejun blush and an awkward smile appeared on his face.
In fact, this engagement banquet seemed grand and luxurious, and the guests were even more extraordinary. However, these guests didn't come because of the Xia family. They really came here because of one person.
Ye Xuan.
Yes, it was Ye Xuan.
Ever since Ye Xuan defeated Wu Juexian and became the number one expert in the East, everyone wanted to build a relationship with Ye Xuan. However, Ye Xuan never saw any guests, which made them feel very helpless.
The so-called Xia family, which used to be one of the eight great families in Jingdu, had long declined and was no longer as glorious as before. If the guests didn't know that Xia Qingzhu used to be in a relationship with Ye Xuan, they wouldn't have come at all.
The guests from all over the world came here today to attend Xia Qingzhu's engagement banquet, but it was more accurate to say that they were waiting for Ye Xuan to appear. If Ye Xuan could appear here, as long as they could build a relationship with him, it would be enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.
"There have been rumors that Mr. Ye and the Xia family's daughter are old friends. Do you think this rumor is true?"
"I don't think so. If the two of them really have an old relationship, why would the Xia family dare to marry their daughter to Japan? Aren't they afraid of Mr. Ye's wrath?"
"Sigh, I thought that Ye Xuan would be here, but now it seems that I came here for nothing."
The guests discussed in low voices. Although their voices were very soft, they fell into Xia Tiejun's ears. This made his face turn red, but helplessness and regret flashed across his eyes.
It was no wonder that Xia Tiejun felt regretful. Back then, he was still the head of the Xia family, and he strongly opposed Xia Qingzhu and Ye Xuan being together. However, after a few years, the young man that he used to look down on had grown into a person that the world respected. How could Xia Tiejun not sigh?
"Mr. Ye Xuan has arrived."
Suddenly.
A cry of surprise came from outside the door, which stunned the guests. Then, ecstasy appeared on their faces as they all looked at the door.
Ye Xuan, dressed in black, was walking toward the crowd. When he reached the center, the guests quickly bowed and greeted him. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
"Greetings, Mr. Ye."
"Mr. Ye, I'm the head of the Fang family. This is my business card."
"Mr. Ye …"
Before Xia Tiejun could step forward, the guests quickly arrived in front of Ye Xuan. All sorts of flattering voices were heard. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement, and they kept introducing themselves to Ye Xuan.
It was also at this moment that Xia Tiejun hurriedly pushed the crowd away and quickly walked to Ye Xuan. He forced a smile and said, "Nephew Ye, please take a seat."
