Just then, a white figure suddenly appeared on the distant road, and in an instant, it was before the flower hall, stepping inside.
Tao Zhuxing didn’t even raise his head, just instinctively felt a figure appear beside him, seemingly heading into the flower hall, and couldn’t help but say exasperatedly.
"Hey, why are you barging in, didn’t you see there’s someone in the flower hall?"
The person stopped in his tracks, turned his head and smiled faintly, "Oh? So what if there’s someone?"
"Nonsense, if there’s someone inside it means it’s occupied, and you’re still going in..."
Tao Zhuxing said impatiently as he raised his head to see who lacked such insight.
But upon seeing the slightly smiling face, he couldn’t help but shudder, and then froze.
"Red... Lord Red Lotus?" Tao Zhuxing could hardly believe his eyes.
Because the figure beside him was none other than the idol worshipped by countless young people, the legendary Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, Xue An!
Indeed!
The visitor was Xue An.
He smiled slightly, "You recognize me?"
Tao Zhuxing nodded vigorously, his face full of excitement, and said.
"Back then, outside of the Sword Palace Sector, I had the fortune of seeing you!"
Xue An chuckled and nodded, "In that case, pleasure to meet you!"
With that, he stepped inside.
Tao Zhuxing watched Xue An’s retreating figure a bit dumbfounded, filled with questions.
Why did Lord Red Lotus suddenly e here?
Could it be... he knows Fan Wang’An, Miss Fan?
Wait! Fan Wang’An, Wang’An...
Tao Zhuxing suddenly thought of something, his eyes widening instantly.
But then the light on his face visibly dimmed.
He laughed self-deprecatingly.
No wonder Miss Fan always treats me indifferently, so this is the reason.
If so, it’s understandable.
After all... pared to someone like Lord Red Lotus, my little cultivation and achievements are practically nothing.
Thinking of this, Tao Zhuxing couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, then silently withdrew.
And it was at this moment, as the once-spirited Sword Cultivator youth felt dejected in the flower hall, Xue An stood still, staring at Fan Mengxue’s thin back, silent for a long time.
After a while, Xue An sighed softly and called out softly, "Meng Xue!"
Fan Mengxue’s shoulders trembled slightly, but she didn’t turn her head; she just said softly, "Why did you e?"
Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her effort to stay calm.
"Can’t I e if there’s nothing urgent?" Xue An smiled lightly, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
But Fan Mengxue remained silent.
The silence made the atmosphere even heavier.
Xue An awkwardly cleared his throat and then said, "I’m planning to make a trip back to Earth!"
Still silent.
After a long time, Fan Mengxue finally turned to look at Xue An with glistening eyes.
"What’s happened on Earth?"
"Some things need attending to, would you... like to go back with me?"
Fan Mengxue quietly looked at Xue An, suddenly smiling, "Is this an invitation?"
"Of course!"
"Alright, I’ll go back!" Fan Mengxue said resolutely.
Though it was only a few simple words, upon exiting the flower hall, Xue An felt a faint sweat on his forehead, exhaled deeply, and thought of stretching.
But in the next second, a remark from behind him destroyed all his relaxation.
"Tsk tsk, isn’t sneaking around for a date with another woman thrilling?"
As the voice sounded, Yue Qinghuan’s figure appeared not far in front of Xue An, smiling at him.
Xue An was used to this girl’s elusive nature.
But her words almost made him spit blood, his face darkening, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Isn’t it true? Firstly, your wife doesn’t know you came here, then you went into the flower hall to talk with someone, isn’t that a date?" Yue Qinghuan argued.
But Xue An didn’t react as expected with panic or anger.
Instead, Xue An just gave her a cold glance and stepped outside.
"Hey, aren’t you going to explain?"
"Explain what? I have a clear conscience, there’s no need for explanation!"
Xue An said flatly, his steps unhalted.
Yue Qinghuan secretly bit her lip, flashed, and appeared in front of Xue An again.
"Aren’t you scared that I’ll actually tell your wife?"
Xue An suddenly stopped, glaring coldly at Yue Qinghuan.
Yue Qinghuan’s expression never changed, smiling at Xue An.
"I recall you initially said you’d be just an observer, how e you’re suddenly so interested in my personal affairs?" Xue An said coldly.
Yue Qinghuan shrugged slightly, "I indeed said that, but it doesn’t mean I won’t interfere, especially when ridding the world of cheaters is a righteous act, don’t you agree?"
Xue An’s lips slowly curled, "Ridding the world of cheaters?"
Yue Qinghuan playfully blinked, "Yes, ridding the world of cheaters!"
In her eyes, she finally pulled off a win.
This seemingly flawless man finally showed his true colors, naturally making her excited.
But deep down, she felt a hint of disappointment.
As if a long-awaited grand show turned out to be just that, leaving one feeling defeated.
But unexpectedly, after hearing Yue Qinghuan’s words, Xue An suddenly strode outside.
Yue Qinghuan was dumbstruck, quickly turning to say, "Hey, what do you mean? Aren’t you afraid I’ll really tell your wife?"
"Up to you!" Xue An replied without looking back.
Yue Qinghuan grew anxious, flashed again before Xue An, "Is this abandoning yourself?"
Xue An chuckled softly, suddenly leaned down and whispered in Yue Qinghuan’s ear, "What if I said I came here at Yan’er’s request, would you believe it?"
Yue Qinghuan froze right at that moment.
Xue An laughed heartily, "Sorry, it seems your plan to rid the world failed!"
With that, Xue An strode away.
A moment later, Yue Qinghuan’s face suddenly showed a faint smile, then she turned to watch Xue An’s departing direction.
"Interesting, truly interesting, I seem to be more and more intrigued by you!"
"Hope you can survive this great trial! If so, you’ll be eligible to witness many unimaginable things!"
"Really looking forward to that day!"
