Leaving the passionate clansmen behind, Murong Ao and Elder Tianjian disappeared within Morning City. Elsewhere, in a quiet courtyard. A graceful figure lay on a chair, nibbling on a pear in hand. Whenever troubled, Murong Yan would vent and forget by gnawing on food. "Third Miss, you've eaten eight already. If you eat any more, you'll burst." Beside her, Xiaowu didn't know how to dissuade her. Since Murong Yan returned, she hadn't stopped munching. It seems Xia Liu had a tremendous impact on her. She might not know how to face this sudden Super Expert. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 Looking around at the new surroundings, Xiaowu also felt a bit awkward. Because everything bore Xia Liu's mark in one way or another. "Damn it! How dare he use me!" Murong Yan threw the core aside, voicing her anger aloud. "Third Miss, don't be so loud. I just noticed the Family Head seems to hold him in high regard, suggesting his status is quite extraordinary." "What's so extraordinary? He's just a Sect Master, one of the three sects in the Northern Region of the Kunwu Realm. So what, can't I be mad about being toyed with?" Faced with Xiaowu's persuasion, Murong Yan found herself even more unable to let it go. If only she had qi cultivation at the fifteenth level, she'd make Xia Liu cough up blood. She's human too. How could she let him deceive her ? "Third Miss, don't be mad. Didn't I redeem myself?" Suddenly, a bitter laugh came from a distance. Then, a tall figure appeared out of thin air. His deep, abyss-like eyes watched Murong Yan, revealing nothing of his mind. "Liu Xia, you're back..." Xiaowu greeted awkwardly. Such rapid changes in identity left her a bit unaccustomed, but she still braved through. "Mm, I'm back. Oh, and my real name is Xia Liu." "Um, um, greetings, Senior Xia." Xiaowu nodded, unsure of what else to say to him. Murong Yan remained silent, staring at Xia Liu, wanting to know why he's back. No one in the family dared to steer him, was he here for revenge? With this thought, Murong Yan felt a hint of fear creeping in. The courtyard held only her and Xiaowu. If he bore malice, both she and Xiaowu could be in trouble. "Elder Ye, come quickly, Xiaowu and I might be in danger!" Praying internally, Murong Yan continued staring at Xia Liu, wanting to appear unafraid. But her thoughts couldn't escape Xia Liu's notice. "Scared? As if I would be scared!" Faced with Xia Liu's bluntness, Murong Yan jumped up immediately. Though she only reached Xia Liu's cheek height, she did not retreat, instead tiptoeing, showing a look of wanting to devour Xia Liu. "If you're not scared, why is your body trembling? Guilty conscience? Afraid I'll retaliate?" Xia Liu stepped forward, his chin touching Murong Yan's forehead. Murong Yan, startled, plopped back on the chair. "What exactly do you want? This is the Murong Family, you'd better not act rashly, or my father and the Elders will kill you!" "Senior Xia, please don't act rashly, Third Miss is no joking matter." Xiaowu, now frightened, could only use this tactic to intimidate him. "Oh? What if I do act rashly?" Xia Liu smirked devilishly, licking his lips with an enchanting demeanor. Murong Yan wilted, not knowing how to retort Xia Liu. Comparing cultivation, a hundred of her wouldn't match him. Comparing backgrounds, he's way ahead. He simply crushed her. Could it be in his hands, she's just a plaything? "Hahaha! Don't worry, Third Miss, I mean no harm, I just came to thank you." Seeing Murong Yan almost crying, Xia Liu laughed heartily as he spoke. Murong Yan and Xiaowu were stupefied. What kind of trick was this? Given his abilities, does he even need to thank her? "If it weren't for you, I couldn't have entered the Murong family, nor have the qualification to head to the Kunwu Realm." The splendid brightness in his gaze showed he wasn't merely jesting. Realizing, Murong Yan timidly asked. "What else does the Third Miss want? I didn't bring any treasures this time, I'm quite poor, just have my body. If the Third Miss is interested, I could..." Though inexperienced with the mundane world, Murong Yan was clever enough to understand. Xia Liu was trying to be a rogue! "Ha! Just kidding, just kidding." Xia Liu brazenly laughed. This girl really is fun. "By the way, you said you'd also go to the Kunwu Realm. What's your purpose there?" Xiaowu mustered courage to ask. "Didn't I mention it before? I'm going to wipe out the Beast Taming Sect!" On this matter, Xia Liu had always been grave. The Beast Taming Sect, daring to create such chaos for so long in Huaxia, even sending people to devastate Hejing to such an extent. If he hadn't rushed back timely, Huaxia might have ended up in a dire state. Thus, the Beast Taming Sect cannot be spared. "Of course it's real. I know your grudge with the Beast Taming Sect. Trust me, not long now, you can tell your relatives in heaven that the Beast Taming Sect is destroyed!" Xia Liu said to Xiaowu. "Xiaowu, what's going on?" Murong Yan didn't quite understand, wondering why Xia Liu's campaign against the Beast Taming Sect concerned Xiaowu. Though knowing Xiaowu hailed from the Kunwu Realm, Murong Yan was unaware of what Xiaowu had undergone there. "Third Miss, I'm sorry, I hid the truth from you..." "Don't say that. Quickly, tell me what really happened." Murong Yan urged impatiently. "Here's how it went, I was born in a small family within the Kunwu Realm..." Knowing of Murong Yan's genuine affection for her, Xiaowu recounted everything from start to finish. "Outrageous! The Beast Taming Sect failed to control their Soul Beasts, leading to disaster, and yet faced no consequences!" Upon learning the truth, Murong Yan kicked at the chair, splintering it into pieces. "In a world where the strong devour the weak, such things occur every day." Xia Liu murmured softly. "Right! I know, but I can't swallow this indignation. Xiaowu, rest assured, once I've honed my skills, I'll surely help you vent this pent-up rage!" "Third Miss, please focus on your cultivation. Leave the battles to us men. I won't let the Beast Taming Sect survive!" "Thank you, Brother Xia Liu! If you can annihilate the Beast Taming Sect, Xiaowu will be yours for life..." Tears welled up in Xiaowu's eyes. She had once sworn, should anyone aid her in avenging her great grudge, she'd serve him forever, be it as a bull or horse, willing to do anything.
