There was no other reason.
Seated inside the restaurant were two figures he was extrely familiar with.
And they were related to him.
None other than Xiao Ruyan and Chen Qiaomu, the mother and daughter.
At this mont, the mother and daughter were savoring the delicacies and hadn’t noticed Xu Wendong’s appearance.
"Um, how about you head back first?" Xu Wendong said awkwardly to Ye Qingxin.
Ye Qingxin also noticed Xiao Ruyan and Chen Qiaomu. From their facial expressions, she could tell they were mother and daughter. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Wendong, you’re really heartless! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for this?"
She knew Xu Wendong was a jerk, a player who flirted everywhere.
However.
She didn’t expect Xu Wendong to be involved with both the mother and daughter.
Xu Wendong blushed: "As cultivators, we should have the courage to face death. A re Sky Thunder is just a stepping stone on our path to growth!"
"Ugh, you shaless jerk!" Ye Qingxin turned and left, disgusted by Xu Wendong’s involvent with both the mother and daughter.
Xu Wendong cald himself and, with his head down, walked to Xiao Ruyan and Chen Qiaomu’s table, sat down casually, and picked up the chopsticks to enjoy the al.
Chen Qiaomu’s face was full of disgust: "How can you be so rude..."
Before she could finish, her expression froze, then she couldn’t hide her joy: "How co you’re here?"
Xiao Ruyan’s eyes were also filled with surprise. The mother and daughter originally ca to Jingdu for a holiday and never expected to et Xu Wendong.
After their astonishnt, a smile that was hard to suppress appeared in Xiao Ruyan’s beautiful eyes.
Xu Wendong smiled: "What’s wrong? Am I not welco?"
Then he looked at Xiao Ruyan and said politely: "Hello, Aunt Xiao."
With this.
Both Xiao Ruyan and Chen Qiaomu’s faces were tinged with an uncontrollable blush.
After all, the mother and daughter had already been honest with Xu Wendong about their relationship when he fought the Eight-Forked Serpent, but Xu Wendong was completely unaware of this.
"What have you been busy with recently?" Xiao Ruyan quickly regained her composure and asked casually.
In fact, she knew Xu Wendong’s recent situation. After all, the news about Master Xu setting fire to the Yasukuni Shrine had already spread to Great Xia. She asked just to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Xu Wendong didn’t hide anything: "I took a trip to Wa Country and just got back."
"You’ve got guts!" Chen Qiaomu gave Xu Wendong a thumbs-up: "As expected of a passionate descendant of Yan and Huang, truly gratifying!" Her eyes sparkled with admiration.
"Waiter, bring a few bottles of beer."
eting the mother and daughter in Jingdu put Xu Wendong in a cheerful mood. He imdiately ordered so beers and began chatting with Chen Qiaomu about her recent happenings.
Although still a university student, Chen Qiaomu qualified to further her studies at the Kyoto dical College, and Xiao Ruyan quit her teaching job to beco a fairy tale writer.
She had recently published a collection of fairy tales, which was well-received in the market.
After the al, the three of them left the restaurant and strolled through the alleys with the old Capital City characteristics.
Chen Qiaomu looked at Xu Wendong: "Where are you planning to take us next?"
Because she drank a few bottles of beer, Chen Qiaomu’s face was flushed red, looking like a fully ripe peach.
Plus, she was wearing a white suspender dress, looking fresh and elegant, making one’s heart flutter.
Xiao Ruyan was wearing a white top paired with a horse-face skirt, with a jade hairpin in her hair, exuding an elegant and charming aura.
Especially when she smiled, her eyes seed to speak.
"I have a courtyard house in Jingdu, how about we go see it?" Saying this, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Ruyan.
He never counted exactly how many soulmates he had, but among them, he had genuine feelings only for Xiao Ruyan.
Because their souls could truly resonate with each other.
When with her, Xu Wendong genuinely felt extraordinarily comfortable.
"Sure!" Xiao Ruyan’s eyes showed a subtle smile.
Xu Wendong imdiately called a car through the app and, after more than an hour’s ride, they arrived at the courtyard house.
At this ti, the courtyard house was empty.
Neither Ye Qingxin nor the won who managed the courtyard were there because Xu Wendong had asked them all to leave, as he didn’t want Xiao Ruyan and her daughter to find out that many won were living at his ho.
Even though he was innocent with those won, it would still affect his image.
"This courtyard is really nice." Xiao Ruyan didn’t hide her joy; she loved this kind of ancient architecture, considering it a testant to ancient wisdom.
Not to ntion, once she entered here, she could clearly feel sothing different, as if enveloped by a mysterious energy, instantly washing away the fatigue from her entire day’s journey.
"There are many rooms here. If Aunt Xiao likes it, you can stay here," Xu Wendong added. "Of course, if Qiaomu likes it, she can live here too, and it’s not far from your college, so going to classes will be convenient."
With a Spirit Gathering Array here, it would certainly improve the physique of a mortal living in such a place.
"Then I won’t be polite!" Chen Qiaomu readily agreed. She liked this kind of house, and besides, living with Xu Wendong, why not?
Xiao Ruyan couldn’t help but say: "Won’t it disturb your life?"
Before Xu Wendong could speak, Chen Qiaomu’s voice interrupted: "Mom, talking like this with your relationship isn’t it too formal?"
Xiao Ruyan’s face turned red with embarrassnt, unsure of what to say.
Xu Wendong was baffled.
What did that an?
Why did Chen Qiaomu ntion their relationship?
Hold on.
Could she know about the affair between and her mom?
Chen Qiaomu noticed Xu Wendong’s thoughts, let out a snarky hum, and said: "When you bravely fought the Eight-Forked Serpent, my mom recognized you and told about your relationship."
"Cough cough!"
Xu Wendong choked for a mont, coughing violently. He never expected that Xiao Ruyan would confess about their relationship to Chen Qiaomu.
"Bad guy, I don’t like you anymore!" Chen Qiaomu said angrily, then turned her back on Xu Wendong, looking deeply aggrieved.
She didn’t mind the thing between Xu Wendong and her mother. On the contrary, she even encouraged Xu Wendong to think of a way to beco her mother’s soulmate.
Because she also didn’t believe in marriage, she only wished for her mother’s happiness in her later years.
Who would have thought that, before she could encourage Xu Wendong, he already beca her mother’s soulmate?
The reason for her anger was simply that Xu Wendong hadn’t confessed this to her.
Xu Wendong’s face was filled with awkwardness. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be honest about his relationship with Xiao Ruyan, but he just never found the right opportunity. Can you bla him entirely for that?
Just as he was at a loss, Xiao Ruyan’s voice rang out: "I’ll go wander around, and you can go appease Qiaomu now!" Then she gave him a aningful smile.
