61: Chapter 61 My cold heart will only be warmed for you

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Just then, brilliant divine light appeared in the nearby sky, and upon landing on the white jade platform, it transformed into seven or eight figures.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in purple robes.

Li Qing's gaze instantly fell upon the middle-aged man in purple.

【Appearing at this moment, could this guy be the Wen Family Clan Chief, Wen Xiangxi?】

【This guy is a real snake.】

"Clan Chief." Wen Hanyue's gaze fell on Wen Xiangxi, and for once, it held a hint of respect.

【Interesting, too interesting. Looking at Wen Hanyue's expression, I'm afraid she's been deceived by Wen Xiangxi and is still helping him count the money.】

【She won't even know until the day she dies that her own parents were killed by this guy.】

What?

Wen Hanyue's mind was shaken violently.

Impossible.

How could it be?

The Clan Chief has been so good to me.

How could he be the one who killed my parents?

Wen Hanyue was completely stunned.

Ye Lixian and Jiner watched Wen Hanyue with expressions of watching a good show.

【Wen Xiangxi, that old thing, is truly a top-tier snake. Ever since he killed Wen Hanyue's parents, he has secretly spread rumors that Wen Hanyue is a jinx, causing the entire Family to isolate and insult her.】

【Wen Hanyue was only six years old at the time; one can imagine how she lived.】

【Just when she was most in need of familial affection, Wen Xiangxi made his move, using his status as Clan Chief to care for and nurture her, training her to become a blade in his hands.】

【Is it not interesting to have the daughter of one's enemy climb mountains of blades and descend into seas of fire for you, shedding every last drop of blood?】

【At the same time, he personally trained Wen Jian, making him hate Wen Hanyue to the core.】

【Siblings turning against each other—he watched this drama with great relish.】

【However, one thing exceeded his expectations: Wen Hanyue's talent was too terrifying. In just twenty years, she had already reached the Half-step Great Power Realm.】

【He had already developed murderous intent, which led to what followed.】

【This guy's heart is exceptionally dirty.】

【Right, there is another great show to watch in a moment.】

Wen-Xiang-Xi.

Wen Hanyue bit her teeth tightly, her whole body trembling; it was from anger.

I have actually respected my enemy for twenty years.

Wen Hanyue, you are the biggest fool in the world.

It was this man before me who helped me again.

I, Wen Hanyue, will definitely not let you down in this life.

Wen Hanyue looked at Li Qing with a soft gaze.

Li Qing seemed to sense the other's gaze and turned his head to meet her eyes.

【Damn, Wen Hanyue's gaze is not right; it's too scary.】

Li Qing quickly turned his head away.

"Rumble."

Just then, peals of thunder sounded in the sky, and an expanse of divine light appeared on the horizon, arriving near the white jade platform in the blink of an eye, transforming into hundreds of figures.

These figures were all clad in golden armor, holding spears and wearing sabers, surrounding a huge golden carriage.

A banner embroidered with the character "Shen" fluttered in the wind.

A white-clad youth with jade-like features sat proudly in the golden carriage.

Standing to the side of the golden carriage was a Black-robed Man, whose aura was as unfathomable as an abyss.

This scene startled everyone.

【He's here, he's here, he has arrived, the top-tier child of destiny Prodigy, Shen Wudao.】

【At such a young age, he is already in the Half-step Great Power Realm.】

【The great show is about to begin.】

"A junior of the Shen Family." Ancestor Wen's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

"Shen Wudao, what is he here for?" Wen Hanyue frowned slightly.

【What else could he be here for? Naturally, to propose marriage to the Wen Family.】

【Of course, the target is not you, but the Wen Family's Second Young Miss, Wen Hanxi.】

【However, your good Clan Chief, in order to disgust you in public, pushed you onto Shen Wudao. That scene—good heavens, you were humiliated severely.】

【However, you also have a protector; that guy Gu Beichen will jump out to win your heart.】

【Oh my, another large-scale show-off scene for the child of destiny.】

【Sitting here waiting to eat melon.】

What?

Wen Hanyue's expression changed.

Ye Lixian and Jiner immediately entered the mode of watching the show; the former sat down to pour wine for Li Qing, while the latter walked behind Li Qing to massage his shoulders.

"Shen Wudao greets Old Ancestor Wen and all the Fellow Daoists of the Great Power Realm." Shen Wudao slowly stood up, bowed to those present, and stood proudly.

The meaning behind his words was simple: he was only greeting Old Ancestor Wen and the Cultivators of the Great Power Realm; the others were not worthy.

"Is Fellow Daoist Shen here to discuss the Dao? Please sit." Ancestor Wen raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.

"There is no need for discussing the Dao; it is quite boring. I am here to propose marriage, wishing to take the Wen Family's Second Young Miss as my wife. I ask that Old Ancestor Wen grant permission." Shen Wudao smiled faintly.

"You want to marry Wen Hanxi?" Ancestor Wen was taken aback.

Wen Hanxi is unremarkable; how could she catch Shen Wudao's eye? Is there something going on here that I am unaware of?

【Tsk tsk, looking at that old fogey Wen's expression, he is likely confused.】

【Wen Hanxi is unknown in the Wen Family. If she were not Ancestor Wen's great-great-granddaughter, she would probably be living worse than Wen Hanyue.】

【What a pity, Wen Hanxi is a female snake; her cultivation has already reached the Middle Stage of the Emperor Sealing Realm. She is no weakling.】

【The Wen Family members do not know about this, but Shen Wudao does. These two have been involved with each other for a long time.】

"Wen Hanxi is in the Middle Stage of the Emperor Sealing Realm."

Wen Hanyue was truly shocked.

Usually, Wen Hanxi looks sickly, but she is actually an expert in the Emperor Sealing Realm.

So, she was faking it.

She usually doesn't interfere in Family struggles and lives a very peaceful life.

She is the happiest person in the Wen Family.

What have I been fighting for all these twenty years?

Wen Hanyue felt a bit lost.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Wen Hanxi is the Wen Family's Second Young Miss, and you are the eldest son of the Shen Family. You should be matched with our Wen Family's eldest daughter, Wen Hanyue; that would be in accordance with the etiquette of marriage alliances." Wen Xiangxi stepped forward and smiled at Shen Wudao.

【Here it comes, here it comes. This old fogey is using etiquette to justify pushing Wen Hanyue out.】

"Clan Chief Wen, are you insulting me?"

"Wen Hanyue is a cripple; is she fit to be my wife? She carries the Nine Nether Blood Poison, and there is a high probability that any future offspring will be like her. Do you want my Shen Family's lineage to have problems?"

"She is not worthy."

Shen Wudao said angrily.

【Good heavens, in public, he is trampling Wen Hanyue into the mud.】

【According to the original plot, Wen Hanyue becomes furious and starts berating Shen Wudao.】

【Sitting here waiting for the fight to start.】

However, after waiting for a long time, Wen Hanyue, who was beside him, did not move and even poured him a glass of wine.

Li Qing "..."

A flock of crows flew over his head.

You want to see me make a fool of myself that much?

I will not do as you wish.

Wen Hanyue gave Li Qing a rare, coquettish glare.

【What is going on? Given Wen Hanyue's temper, she should not be able to tolerate this. It would be a miracle she didn't draw her sword to hack Shen Wudao.】

【This plot is not right.】

【Where did it go wrong?】

Is my temper really that bad?

It seems I should change it properly in the future; I will work hard to change for you.

Wen Hanyue thought silently in her heart.

"Heh, who is barking here, disturbing This Young Master's enjoyment of wine?" A faint, mocking voice sounded nearby.

It was Gu Beichen.

This guy was looking at Wen Hanyue while speaking.

Very good, I was just worrying about how to win Wen Hanyue's heart; this is truly like someone bringing a pillow just as I was getting sleepy.

Gu Beichen looked at Wen Hanyue, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

【He's here, he's here, the child of destiny has made his move.】

【Defending Wen Hanyue like this, her cold heart will regain a sliver of warmth for him, laying a solid foundation for their romance in the sea of blood.】

Do you dislike me that much?

Wen Hanyue bit her lip lightly and suddenly leaned down to pour wine for Li Qing.

This scene happened to be seen by Li Qing.

"Holy crap, this sword wound is at least 1.9 inches deep."

This Wen Hanyue is flirting with me again.

We can't have you bullying people like this.
