Late into the night, the rain was going strong as Xi Shen stepped out to stand at the Pavilion’s entrance.However, his legs wobble uncontrollably and he had to lean against the door to stabilize himself.His face looked exhausted and his lips trembled a bit. He had talked so much he could have sworn he had sprained his tongue.A severe migraine also wracked his skull because of all the thinking he had to do to come up with that nonsense.Turning to look inside the Pavilion, he saw that Bai Xiaofung and Zen had their eyes close while sitting around the table.Xi Shen cursed them in his heart for making him go through this, and he cursed himself as well for allowing himself to be swayed by Zen’s sincerity.Sighing to himself, Xi Shen said, “What the hell? Did all that nonsense actually do something for them?”Xi Shen looked at the two once again, before he shook his head and turn away.His throat was parched so he took out a wine gourd and popped the cork.Xi Shen enjoyed his wine as h

“Damn it, it’s old people like you I hate the most. Always forcing unrealistic expectations on your descendants. That’s why I ran away from my Clan, bastards wanted me to do all sorts of things in the name of the clan. Why should I sacrifice my happiness for those expectations placed on me by people who don’t care about what I have to say?”The cloaked figure then turned to Huang Mei and continued, “And you don’t have to either. I’m leaving with you and your boyfriend now, so just say goodbye to your grandfather. Let him solve the clan issue without you, and it’s not like our Mercenary Association won't provide for its valued members. Your Clan will be fine.”Clan Leader Huang was glaring at this person at first, but upon hearing the mention of the Mercenary Association his expression froze. His heart almost leaped out of his throat.Eyes trembling, he looked at this cloaked figure and stuttered, “Y-you, did you just mention the Mercenary Association?”Turning to Clan Leader Huang the

“THE SECOND PRINCE HAS ARRIVED!!”The announcer at the hall entrance bellowed out, drawing everyone inside attention.Xi Shen walked on the red carpet from the carriage and entered the large hall.He immediately felt several thousand gazes on him, and his feet faltered unnoticeably but he continued to walk.He knew that there would be a lot of people here, but imagining it and actually being here in person to experience it was different.However, his face was neutral and he moved as calmly as he could towards the end of the hall.“Greetings to the second prince!!”Xi Shen almost had his heart leaped out of his mouth when the crowd of people suddenly shouted a greeting.He wondered if they had practiced this before he came, they did it so in sync.Little Snow was walking next to him as well while holding his hand. Though she wasn’t used to so many people looking at her, she was more curious than nervous.She would glance around at the various people to the right and left of her, who me

“WHAT?!”“WHAT?!”Two shouts of surprise occurred after Lu Xue Feng’s words echoed out.One was from Xi Shen, who had snapped his head up and was wide-eyed with a disbelieving look on his face.And then…*Slap!*He felt a burning sensation on his cheek, as this sudden development came from right around the corner to smack him right across the face.The other shout was from someone unexpected, it was from the little brother of Lu Xue Feng.His expression mirrored Xi Shen’s own as they both stared at Lu Xue Feng in shock.They both suddenly glanced at each other when they saw each other's reactions.The hall was silent at this moment as everyone was busy reeling back in shock at what they just heard.Some of the youths in the hall looked between Xi Shen and Lu Yue. They can’t understand what the hell the Profound Sword Sect was thinking to betrothed her to him.Lu Xue Feng hearing his little brother’s sudden shout frowned before turning to look at him.His gaze showed signs that say he

*Sniffle**Sniffle*“Damn it…”Xi Shen wiped his face with the hem of his sleeves as he moved along the various corridors.His nose was slightly red and his eyes were quite puffy.While wiping his face Xi Shen said annoyed.“What is this? Are these tears?”“Is this what it’s like to cry?”“It feels like my eyes are leaking salt water. It's annoying, I don’t like it.”Xi Shen finish wiping his face and as he continue to walk his mind went back to the previous events. The look in his mother’s eyes was replaying in his head repeatedly.He let out a long sigh.“I screwed up by letting my emotions get the better of me.""My position now couldn’t be more ironic, could it?”Xi Shen asked self-deprecatingly.He was feeling quite down, but now that he was out of there this was a good opportunity to deal with a few matters.He was very worried about the commotion he caused by injuring those disciples, but he hoped his father could handle it.He didn’t want to return, but after this, he should a
