Hearing Xun'er say that, Xiao Mei was stunned, feeling a little embarrassed. If it were anyone else in the clan saying such words, she could still rely on her talent and beauty to gain the upper hand. But if her opponent was Xun'er, her heart was filled with nothing but defeat.
Glancing at Xiao Yan's indifferent face, Xiao Mei could only force a bitter smile and awkwardly depart.
The crowd in the training ground, seeing Xun'er intimately pulling Xiao Yan, all felt a pang of jealousy. As the clan's most dazzling pearl, they had never seen Xun'er treat any man like this.
Watching Xiao Mei depart in embarrassment, Xiao Yan was surprised. A soft sensation came from his arm, and looking at Xun'er's smiling face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but find it a little funny, teasing, "Girl, what are you doing?"
Xun'er still held onto Xiao Yan's arm. Her gaze swept over the surrounding crowd, who were dumbfounded by her intimate gesture, and she feigned innocence, saying, "Xiao Yan gege, weren't you going to reject her?"
Hearing that, Xiao Yan's eyes widened. It was the same intention to reject, but spoken by two different people, it carried two completely different meanings. Recalling the embarrassed look on Xiao Mei's face at the time, he could only helplessly shake his head. Glancing at Xun'er's radiant, victorious smile, he thought to himself, "This girl must have done it on purpose?!"
"Xun'er just doesn't like her fickle attitude. Hmph, 'come to the Dou Skill Hall to learn Dou Skills'? What kind of invitation is that? She never made such an offer before." Xun'er slowly led Xiao Yan out of the training ground by the hand, not bothering to pay attention to the surrounding gazes. She continued to speak softly, a hint of cold laughter in her voice. She truly disliked Xiao Mei's attitude.
Shrugging slightly, Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. He let out a bitter laugh. Three years ago, his relationship with Xiao Mei wasn't bad, but it was only after he was deemed a good-for-nothing that he truly understood this woman.
"You little bastard, in a month, I'll make sure your teeth are scattered all over the ground!" Xiao Ning gritted his teeth and said viciously. Then, filled with anger, he hastily left the training ground.
On the high platform, Xiao Zhan, who was about to leave, was also startled by this scene. His gaze fixed intently on the two intimate figures, a hint of surprise in his eyes. A trace of worry flickered in his eyes: "This child, Yan'er, he wouldn't... he wouldn't have fallen for Xun'er, would he? One must know that with her status, she is not someone Nalan Yanran can compare to. Even with terrifying cultivation talent, gaining acceptance from the formidable power behind her is no easy feat..."
Falling silent for a moment, Xiao Zhan sighed, shook his head, and slowly departed.
Having a girl pull his hand, occasionally brushing against some soft, tender spots, the wonderful sensation easily made one feel a certain "stirring of the heart."
Turning onto a small path, Xun'er's small face suddenly flushed crimson. She quickly let go of Xiao Yan's hand and shyly glanced at him.
Suddenly losing that wonderful sensation, Xiao Yan felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of loss. He let out a soft sigh, his gaze uncontrollably drifting to the girl's figure beside him, looking a few times. Beneath her green robes, her small chest subtly rose, truly making it impossible for others not to notice.
Although in reality, Xun'er and Xiao Yan had no blood relation, the two had, after all, lived together for over ten years. This kind of affection was in no way inferior to that of blood siblings. And now, Xiao Yan was taking liberties with his 'younger sister,' so it was no wonder he felt a little guilty.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned silent. In such an atmosphere, this small path, which wasn't even that long, seemed to stretch endlessly.
Of course, even endless walks had their limits. As they neared the end of the path, Xiao Yan awkwardly struck up a conversation, then prepared to leave.
“Big Brother Xiao Yan.”
Seeing Xiao Yan about to leave, Xun'er was slightly surprised, then suddenly let out a giggle, calling out softly.
“Eh?” Xiao Yan stopped, turning his head to look at the girl standing and smiling beneath the tree. His already uneasy heart suddenly skipped a few beats.
The girl, dressed in green, exuded a captivating elegance beneath the tree. As a gentle breeze swept past, her purple skirt hem fluttered softly, adding to her compelling, heroic charm.
“Will you come with Xun'er tomorrow?”
Under the willow's shade, Xun'er's small face flushed slightly. Her teeth gently bit her alluring red lips, and her autumn-water eyes subtly shifted, carrying a hint of anticipation and an inscrutable meaning as she gazed at Xiao Yan not far away.
