You Are Not Worthy
As the head of the Liu Family, Liu Guqiong was very shrewd. Naturally, he could see Chu Xingyun's true thoughts.
However, he could not vent his anger.
Firstly, Chu Xingyun was a participant of the Six Sects Grand Competition. According to the rules of the Six Sects, he would not be held accountable. Even if he had committed a grave mistake, it must be postponed until the end of the competition.
Secondly, everyone knew Liu An's character. There were many cases of him kidnapping women. Chu Xingyun grasped this point, which was equivalent to grasping Liu An's weakness. Coupled with what he said just now, even if Liu Guqiong was furious, he could not refute it.
He had to swallow all his anger and hatred, and then put on an apologetic smile on his face.
This was Liu Guqiong's current situation!
"Thank you for your kindness, Sword Master Luo Yun." Liu Guqiong spat out a word from between his teeth. Liu An jumped up and shouted, "Father, did I …"
"Shut up!" Liu Guqiong shouted coldly. He stared at Liu An and said, "You unfilial son. It's fine if you do bad things, but how dare you instigate others. Go back to your room and lock yourself up. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave!"
Then, he waved his hand. Immediately, two elders of the Liu Family walked out and took Liu An away.
"What happened just now was all because of my lack of discipline. Sword Master Luo Yun, please don't laugh at me." Liu Guqiong was already burning with anger. Liu An was his son, and he represented the Liu Family. Chu Xingyun's slap had completely humiliated the Liu Family.
"If Family Head Liu needs it, I don't mind helping you discipline him again next time." Chu Xingyun smiled faintly. However, what he said made Liu Guqiong's expression freeze. His smile was very forced.
Seeing this, the surrounding people all looked over and sighed in their hearts.
The Liu Family was in charge of Skystar City. They were domineering and did things without scruples. They had not suffered a loss for a long time. Chu Xingyun had just appeared, and he had ignored the Liu Family's power twice.
First, at the Meeting of Heroes. Second, in the Liu Family.
Such actions were truly eye-catching.
Of course, there was one person in the crowd who did not even glance at Chu Xingyun. That was Shui Liu Xiang.
She sat there quietly, her eyes still empty and lifeless. Only when Ye Qianhan spoke would she speak softly. This made Chu Xingyun more and more puzzled and anxious. He desperately wanted to know what had happened.
However, in the end, he held it in. He suppressed his emotions and returned to his position.
Originally, the banquet this time was supposed to last until late at night, but after Chu Xingyun's disturbance, Liu Guqiong instantly lost interest, and the banquet ended hastily after drinking a few cups of wine.
The Liu Family had specially prepared a courtyard for Chu Xingyun. It was located in the depths of the Liu Family, surrounded by trees and connected to the lake. The environment was excellent.
Chu Xingyun had just stepped into the hall when he saw Su Xia coming out from the back.
"Is the small soul awake?" Chu Xingyun asked.
Ever since Xiao Hun swallowed the Voidspirit Fruit, his body emitted a mysterious aura. Not long after, he fell asleep. Chu Xingyun sent him to the courtyard and asked Su Xia to take care of him.
Su Xia shook her head and replied, "It's still asleep. But judging from its aura, it should be fine."
"That's good." Chu Xingyun smiled faintly. He looked away and said to Su Xia, "Liu An is now grounded. He can't leave the Liu Family for a few days. His attention is now on me, and he should have forgotten about you. After you return to Feiyang City, you don't have to worry about Liu An's revenge."
Liu An and Su Xia were very different in status. When Liu An attacked Su Xia, he just wanted to use Su Xia to establish his power. There was no deep hatred at all.
That was a small matter, so Liu An did not take it to heart. After a few days, he forgot about it.
"Thank you, Swordmaster Luo Yun." Su Xia was deeply moved. She bowed deeply to Chu Xingyun. After that, she muttered to herself for a moment. Her pearly white teeth lightly tapped her red lips as she said somewhat nervously, "Su Xia is unable to repay Sword Master Luo Yun's great kindness. If you don't mind …"
"No need." Before she could finish, Chu Xingyun suddenly interrupted her.
He smiled at Su Xia and replied, "When we were outside Sky Star City, I told you that if you gave me the Crystal Jade Fruit, I would help you get rid of the danger and let you return to Feiyang City safely. What I am doing now is just fulfilling my promise. You don't have to repay me."
"It's just the Crystal Jade Fruit. How can I repay your kindness?" Su Xia frowned and shook her head. She still wanted to repay his kindness.
"Go back." Chu Xing Yun's footsteps were light. When he passed by Su Xia, his voice was faint. "Although you haven't been away from home for long, everyone in the Su family must be worried about you. Now that you've returned safely, they will definitely be wild with joy."
"In a few days, I will be going to the Sect City to participate in the Six Sects Tournament. After the tournament, I will have many things to do. Let's say goodbye." Chu Xingyun said casually and clasped his fists at Su Xia.
Su Xia's eyes narrowed. She raised her head and looked into Chu Xingyun's deep eyes. Then, she pursed her lips and clasped her fists as well. "In that case, we will meet again."
After saying that, Su Xia turned around and walked out slowly.
The moment she turned around, a drop of hot tear rolled down Su Xia's cheek and fell to the ground. Under the reflection of the moonlight, it emitted a sparkling light.
Chu Xingyun saw the sparkling light, but his face was expressionless.
He had lived for a thousand years and his eyes were sharp. How could he not know that Su Xia had feelings for him?
Unfortunately, the two of them were simply people from two different worlds. It was truly difficult for them to interact with one another. That was the reason why Chu Xingyun was so resolute, and had Su Xia leave, so as to completely sever her thoughts.
Although this method was cruel, it could reduce the damage to the minimum.
Outside the courtyard, Su Xia stopped and turned to look in the direction of the hall. The tears on her face had dried, but there was still a trace of pain in her heart.
"In the end, we are just strangers who met by chance. Perhaps, leaving now is a good thing." Su Xia comforted herself in her heart. She wiped her tears and her face gradually became firm.
Patter!
At this moment, footsteps sounded.
Su Xia turned her head and her gaze froze. The person who came was a middle-aged man with a long sword on his back. This man's right arm was broken. His long sleeves fluttered in the night wind, making a whistling sound.
This middle-aged man was Wang Dechuan.
"Disciple, where are you going?" Wang Dechuan had a smile on his face. This smile was filled with flattery. Su Xia had never seen such a smile in the three years she had been in the Golden Edge Martial House.
"Palace Master Wang seems to have made a mistake. I am no longer a disciple of the Golden Edge Martial House, and I am definitely not your disciple." Su Xia looked at Wang Dechuan calmly and stepped forward.
"You have been my disciple for three years. Do you think you can abandon me just like that?" Wang Dechuan stopped Su Xia and said with a trace of anger.
"Master and disciple?"
Su Xia smiled coldly and said expressionlessly, "Palace Master Wang, you have taught me martial arts, the way of cultivation, and how to be a person. However, when I was in danger, you ignored me and even used me as a tool to please Liu An. If Sword Master Luo Yun did not save me, I am afraid that I would be living a life worse than death."
In the past, Su Xia had always treated Wang Dechuan as a role model and learned from him. However, the events of the past few days had made her see Wang Dechuan's ugly face clearly.
"I did this because I had no choice. After all, I had to protect the Golden Edge Martial House." Wang Dechuan still wanted to argue. His gaze became gentle, "Can't you understand my painstaking efforts?"
"Of course I can understand." Su Xia's gaze turned cold. She sneered at Wang Dechuan, "That is why I have to leave the Golden Edge Martial House. Because who knows when I will be betrayed by you again!"
Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Su Xia's expression became calm as he said indifferently, "I've said everything that needs to be said. There's nothing left to talk about between you and me. A person like you who only cares about profits is not qualified to be a master. You're not worthy!"
After speaking, Su Xia turned and left, leaving Wang Dechuan standing there in a daze. His mind was buzzing.
He had come to find Su Xia today to please her and let her return to the Golden Edge Martial House. This was the only way he could get close to Chu Xingyun and apologize to Chu Xingyun.
During the battle on Mount Pan, Wang Dechuan's right arm was chopped off by Chu Xingyun. He was a sword cultivator. With his arm chopped off, his strength was severely affected.
At this critical juncture, if he could not find a backer, the Golden Edge Martial House would be devoured by other forces.
However, after this incident, Su Xia had seen through the fickleness of the world. She did not care about Wang Dechuan at all. This destroyed the last hope in Wang Dechuan's heart.
Wang Dechuan closed his eyes as waves of regret gushed out from the depths of his heart. However, regret was useless now. He could only say that he had brought this upon himself.
Chu Xingyun saw the scene outside the courtyard.
At this moment, he shifted his gaze away and revealed a satisfied smile.
"After this incident, Su Xia and the Su Clan will return to peace. We will no longer have to live in fear." Chu Xingyun looked at the slowly rising moon. Although he said these words, his heart seemed to be worried about other things. He could not relax for a long time.
Time passed bit by bit. The noisy Liu Clan gradually quieted down.
When midnight came, many people fell asleep.
Buzz!
A pitch-black figure rushed out from Chu Xingyun's courtyard. He was like a midnight ghost, running quickly in the Liu Clan. His speed was extremely fast, but he did not cause the slightest sound. No one could detect his presence.
The black figure was heading towards the Liu Clan's southern wing.
