Chapter 432: Mingxuan, You Disappoint Me So Much

Yin Luoxia naturally did not notice Yu Xian’s little scheme. She just felt that Yu Xian was truly good; even after Luo Mingxuan treated him that way, he still willingly saved him, which was truly rare. She felt very grateful and moved by him.

The efficacy of the Great Returning Pill was indeed potent; very quickly, Luo Mingxuan awoke.

Seeing Luo Mingxuan wake up, Yin Luoxia finally relaxed. Just as she was about to ask Luo Mingxuan if he was alright, she saw him suddenly lash out, delivering a palm strike to the defenseless Yu Xian.

The palm print solidly struck Yu Xian’s chest.

Luo Mingxuan was overjoyed to hit his target directly, but before he could celebrate, a powerful Internal Energy rebounded back. Before he could react, his entire body flew out along an arc.

“Yu Xian!”

Yin Luoxia, seeing that the awakened Luo Mingxuan’s first action was to strike Yu Xian instead of showing gratitude, became instantly angry and vexed. She anxiously checked Yu Xian’s injuries; having taken such a solid palm strike, she dared not imagine the damage.

Fortunately, Yu Xian appeared unharmed. Still, she carefully pulled him up and inspected him closely. “How are you? Are you alright? Did you hurt anywhere?” Yin Luoxia’s concern was evident.

Yu Xian gently held her hand, patted it reassuringly, but his gaze fell coldly upon Luo Mingxuan, who had just crashed back to the ground.

He slowly straightened his body. Although the fabric on his chest was slightly disturbed by the palm wind, it showed no damage, as if the previous strike had merely brushed away a speck of dust.

“I’m fine,” he turned to Yin Luoxia, his tone returning to gentle. “This amount of force couldn’t hurt me.”

Immediately after, his gaze settled back on Luo Mingxuan, his look as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.

“Luo Mingxuan, I spared you several times before out of respect for you being Luoxia’s disciple. But you show no repentance. Do you truly think I dare not take your life?”

Luo Mingxuan lay on the ground, coughed up a mouthful of bloody froth, and struggled to rise again, only to find that all his Meridians felt as if they were being severed inch by inch, causing unbearable sharp pain with the slightest exertion.

He raised his head, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins and unwillingness. “If you have the guts, kill me now! Otherwise, I, Luo Mingxuan, will fight you to the death for the rest of my life!”

Yin Luoxia looked at the frantic Luo Mingxuan; her heart felt both angry and pained, but mostly, she felt disappointed.

She walked in front of Luo Mingxuan, her voice trembling slightly: “Mingxuan, you disappoint me so much. Yu Xian saved you, yet you turned around and attacked him. Is this the principle I taught you?”

“Principle? Heh…” Luo Mingxuan gave a desolate laugh. He ignored Yin Luoxia and glared fiercely at Yu Xian. However, he soon withdrew his gaze.

He had seen Yin Luoxia’s reaction just now and understood that his Master no longer belonged to him.

Luo Mingxuan painfully struggled to his feet, then, without sparing Yin Luoxia a glance, he staggered away.

“Mingxuan!” Yin Luoxia truly couldn’t understand why Luo Mingxuan had become this way; her heart ached with anger and pain.

However, she did not pursue him, instead returning to Yu Xian’s side.

“Yu Xian, I’m sorry, Mingxuan he…” Yin Luoxia honestly didn’t know how to explain Luo Mingxuan’s behavior. Luo Mingxuan, who had always been a good child, why was he acting so crazily today?

Alas… ultimately, it was her failure as a Master to discipline him properly.

Yu Xian gently pulled her into his embrace, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said softly, “It’s alright. It’s normal for a young person’s Heart-Nature to be unable to adjust immediately. Give him some time; he will eventually understand.”

He paused, his fingertip tracing her slightly furrowed brow. “It’s you I’m concerned about; don’t let him trouble your spirit. You are his Master, not his mother. We still need to go to the City Lord’s mansion to bid farewell.”

Yin Luoxia leaned into his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and the knot in her heart gradually loosened. She nodded lightly, “En, I’ll listen to you for everything.”

The two looked at each other and smiled. The previous unpleasantness seemed to scatter with the wind. They held hands again and walked towards the City Lord’s mansion.

Luo Mingxuan, who had walked far away but secretly turned back, watched their receding figures. The light in his eyes dimmed bit by bit, finally turning into dead silence.

He knew that he had completely lost the person who was as important to him as life itself.

Yu Xian and Yin Luoxia arrived to see Si Kong Changfeng.

Si Kong Changfeng saw Yin Luoxia and Yu Xian holding hands and immediately felt a surge of unwelcome realization.

“Young Master Yu, Luoxia, why are you here together?” Si Kong Changfeng asked.

Yu Xian smiled calmly, stepped forward holding Yin Luoxia’s hand, and said in an unhurried but undeniably firm tone: “City Lord Si Kong, we are here today to tell you that Luoxia is now my wife. Henceforth, she will leave Xueyue City with me to stay by my side.”

Upon hearing this, Si Kong Changfeng’s pupils constricted, and the smile on his Face instantly froze. He subconsciously looked at Yin Luoxia, as if seeking a negative answer on her Face.

After all, Yin Luoxia had been in Xueyue City for many years, holding a crucial position. Her sudden departure and resignation as Elder were difficult for him to accept.

This Yu Xian—was marrying the Second City Lord of Xueyue City not enough? Did he also have to poach one of Xueyue City’s Elders? What would happen to his Xueyue City in the future?

Also, what kind of charm did this Yu Xian possess? Why did every woman who encountered him become unable to walk away? Were they all willingly throwing themselves at him? This clearly defied common sense!

He truly could not understand!

Although his heart was full of complaints, Si Kong Changfeng did not show it on his Face, maintaining a composed expression.

“City Lord, everything Yu Xian said is true. I have decided to resign from my position as Elder and leave with him. I am deeply grateful for your and the City Lord’s wife’s care during my years in Xueyue City. However, where my heart leads, I must follow. I hope the City Lord will grant my request,” Yin Luoxia said, meeting Si Kong Changfeng’s probing gaze with a look that was both firm and gentle.

Si Kong Changfeng was silent for a moment, his gaze shifting over their tightly clasped hands. Finally, he let out a long sigh, a complex expression appearing on his Face, showing regret and reluctance.

“Forget it, forget it. I cannot manage your affairs that much. Luoxia, you have served Xueyue City diligently for so many years. I am happy that you have found your own destination now. However, the gates of Xueyue City will always be open to you. If you ever wish to return for a visit, you may do so anytime,” Si Kong Changfeng finally said magnanimously.

He had no choice but to be magnanimous! What kind of person was Yu Xian? Could he argue with him?

No! The fact that Yu Xian came to see him today was already giving him Face. If Yu Xian became displeased and simply took the person away without a word, and then returned later to cleave Xueyue City with a single sword strike, he would be the one crying then!

Therefore, he must be a generous person! At worst, he would just have to exert himself more in managing Xueyue City’s affairs in the future.

Cry!
