Miao Xin held the warm Jade Token in her hand, stopped in her tracks, and it was only when she lifted her head that she realized she had arrived in front of a room. Behind the door, sothing seed to be calling to her, giving her an urge to step inside.
Inside the room, Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged, practicing his breathing exercises. Suddenly, as if sensing sothing, his eyes snapped open. He quickly walked to the door of the room and opened it.
Their eyes t, and both of them stood frozen.
The look on Lin Mo's face slowly shifted from indifference to wild joy, and even his breathing beca rapid. This was disconnected from his Dao Heart; the elation stemd from his feelings for the woman before him.
"It's you!" Miao Xin, clutching the Jade Pendant, slipped it into her pocket. She was wearing a light yellow jacket over a white T-shirt, a combination that rendered her pure and captivating. Her raven-black hair cascaded over her shoulders. She stood still, her presence extraordinary and solitary.
But as soon as she saw Lin Mo, a faint stirring on her face turned ice-cold with a tinge of disgust. Wasn't this guy the one she had run into at the boxing match today? What was he doing here? What did the Jade Pendant have to do with him?
By now, Miao Xin was filled with countless questions, which, of course, she kept deep within her heart. But she held no favorable sentint toward the man before her.
"ng Die, have you finally rembered ?" Lin Mo exclaid ecstatically, spreading his arms wide before pulling Miao Xin into a tight embrace.
By this mont, he was certain that the slightly aloof, or rather indifferent, woman before him was Xia ngdie.
Before Miao Xin could react, she was encased in his arms, enveloped by a uniquely masculine scent. Her soft shoulders pressed against his chest, feeling the warmth and pressure of Lin Mo's body. Instantly, her beautiful face flushed with anger and a chill.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Miao Xin swung her palm towards Lin Mo's chest, the slap driven by rage, but as her hand neared Lin Mo, the force weakened slightly.
Lin Mo's eyes widened in shock. He quickly controlled his body, compressing the True Yuan in his Dantian. Otherwise, Miao Xin's slap, rather than injuring him, could've hurt her instead.
Lin Mo bore the blow, then his body staggered backwards, his eyes filled with astonishnt. He hadn't expected that Xia ngdie would act as if she didn't recognize him at all.
What's more, the chill on Xia ngdie's face and the coldness in her eyes were not feigned. They were a genuine display of revulsion and indifference.
"You philandering scoundrel, I don't know you at all. If you dare to be so impudent again, believe it or not, I will kill you on the spot," Miao Xin sharply rebuked.
She had already shown restraint just now, or else she might have killed the youth before her.
"ng Die, do you really not rember ? I am Lin Mo. Don't you recall our ti together? The days we shared?"
Lin Mo's expression darkened, could it be that Xia ngdie had truly forgotten him, or was it that the woman before him wasn't Xia ngdie at all?
"I've been living in... Anyway, I don't know you at all," Miao Xin said, pursing her thin lips while looking at the sorrow and distress on the young man's face. Yet, an indescribable feeling erged in her heart, as if it pained her a little too.
Even though Lin Mo had contained the True Yuan within his body, his body was so tough that even bullets could only itch him at best. What truly made him spit blood was Xia ngdie not recognizing him; the yearning he had accumulated for over a year had attacked his heart and lungs, and that was why he vomited blood.
"If you dare to insult again, I won't hold back," Miao Xin said as she turned and walked towards her room. She hadn't struck him severely because she felt that the young man before her didn't seem like a bad person, especially the sorrow and pain in his eyes, which didn't seem feigned.
Perhaps he had simply mistaken her for soone from his past, so he was so agitated; otherwise, as a disciple of the Miao Xue Divine Palace, how could she tolerate being treated lightly by an ordinary man?
However, as Miao Xin was pondering this, a group of people had already approached, led by a bald man in a suit and tie, followed by a horde of scantily clad, voluptuous won, their various perfus mixing and drifting through the hallway.
These people were actually heading straight into Lin Mo's room. Miao Xin clenched her fists, the sliver of sympathy she had for Lin Mo turning into genuine disgust, "Indeed, a dissolute playboy, a rakish dandy; to think I had imagined him as so lovelorn man."
Thinking this, Miao Xin returned to her room. When Miao Zhu ca back, she brought with her bags of food. Seeing her senior sister's face looking upset, Miao Zhu couldn't help but show a puzzled expression:
"Senior Sister, you look a bit off, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, just feeling a bit down," Miao Xin thought of Lin Mo now rolling in the sheets with those vulgar won, and couldn't help but feel an odd anger inside.
As she beca aware of this feeling in her heart, her beautiful face slightly changed colors. She had only had a chance encounter with Lin Mo, and even if he had mistaken her for soone from his past, they were still just strangers; why did she feel so uncomfortable now?
Lin Mo wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, knowing that Xia ngdie had completely forgotten him, and that any further explanation would probably be futile.
"Master Lin, the second master instructed to bring so girls over to chat with you. What do you think of these ladies? If you don't like them, I'll go get different ones right away," Bald Xie said with a sycophantic smile, bowing and scraping, "Please call Master quickly."
"Good day, Master," a row of won of various appearances bowed, with their hands crossed over their abdons, calling out in unison.
"Get lost, I don't want any," Lin Mo frowned, his expression indifferent.
Bald Xie, upon hearing Lin Mo's words, was initially stunned, then realizing Lin Mo's grim and icy deanor, was taken aback and quickly led the group of won out with their tails between their legs.
"Bald Brother, what kind of boss is that? He doesn't even like us girls; could it be he's impotent?" one woman said disdainfully.
No sooner had she spoken than Bald Xie slapped her face hard, "Damn it, keep your voice down. If you offend Master Lin, I'll throw you to Africa to work as a prostitute."
"ng Die, no matter what's happened to you, I will find out the truth," Lin Mo clenched his fist, a sharp glint passing through his eyes.
