In Nine Heavens City, on the lively street in the morning.
“Senior Brother, is it really you?”
A surprised voice rang out.
Xiao Yang turned to see a group of people rushing from the city gate.
It was none other than Li Fan Yin, Jiang Ting, Qin Fei, and the Transmission Elder.
“Senior Brother…”
Song Qiang was ecstatic upon seeing Xiao Yang.
The Senior Brother was fine, what great news!
“Holy Son Brother…”
Lin Wangchuan’s eyes turned red with emotion.
Ye Qingyao, Yun Qianxue, and Qi Xuan were all amazed and delighted.
But Qin Fei was far from happy.
He coldly stared at Xiao Yang, wondering how that guy had managed to escape from Ming He and Yin Yue?
Those two were utterly useless.
Qin Fei clenched his fists.
Lei Renjie, Zheng Fan, and Han Bin had mixed feelings.
They held a grudge against Xiao Yang.
They didn’t want him to die at the hands of those two remnants of the Demon Sect.
Yet, since Xiao Yang had been overwhelming them in the sect, they secretly wished he wouldn’t return, as that would give them a chance to shine.
Xiao Yang ignored everyone.
He was currently locked in a standoff with Chu Guiyuan.
He never expected to encounter the real Chu Guiyuan in Nine Heavens City.
Moreover, this guy was pretty strong.
No wonder Chu Guixi couldn’t compete with his older brother.
On the bustling street, there were already quite a few pedestrians.
Both men exuded overwhelming energy.
The onlookers gasped and hurriedly retreated.
The unseen energy radiated out, causing Jiang Ting and the others to dare not approach.
Xiao Yang scrutinized the Chu Guiyuan opposite him.
Who would’ve thought that this suave-looking guy, who looked so refined, was actually the scum who had snatched his brother’s partner?
“So you’re the Sect Holy Son Xiao Yang of Qingyang Sword Sect. Your name has been ringing in my ears lately!” Chu Guiyuan said coldly.
“So you’re the guy who wants everything: the Holy Son title and more! What a greedy one!” Xiao Yang replied with a half-smile.
“You…”
Chu Guiyuan’s heart shook. This was his biggest secret—how did Xiao Yang find out?
“Could it be…”
He thought of his useless younger brother.
“Xiao Yang, did you kill my father and brother?”
Next to Chu Guiyuan, a beautiful woman glared at Xiao Yang, gritting her teeth as if she wanted to tear him apart.
“Liu Ruxian?” Xiao Yang looked at her.
He had a vague memory of Liu Ruxian.
He could still recognize her as the little snot-nosed kid who used to follow her two older brothers around.
Though she was small back then, she, alongside her brothers, would bully other kids in the city.
And Xiao Yang was one of their targets.
He had been weak and sickly as a child and had endured much bullying from the Liu siblings.
Fortunately, his grandfather had sent him to Qingyang Sword Sect, changing his dismal fate.
After his grandfather’s passing, he hadn’t returned to Yuanlong City much.
Meanwhile, Liu Ruxian had joined Guiyuan Martial Sect.
Today was the first time Xiao Yang was meeting the grown-up Liu Ruxian.
She had always been a beauty.
Now, as a young woman, she was stunning and graceful, a rare beauty indeed.
“Heavenly Spirit Body, so that’s it!” Xiao Yang shot a disdainful glance at Chu Guiyuan, no wonder this guy had set his sights on Liu Ruxian.
“Even if you are the Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect, you will die today!” Chu Guiyuan coldly glared at Xiao Yang.
Since this person knew his secret, he absolutely couldn’t be left alive.
Even if he was the Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect!
Guiyuan Martial Sect was the second most powerful force in the North after Fuyiao Sword Sect; what did it matter to Chu Guiyuan if he took down Xiao Yang?
“Want to kill me? We’ll see if you have the ability!” Xiao Yang said, unimpressed.
“Chu Holy Son, do you think Nine Heavens City is just any place?”
Li Fan Yin stepped forward with her jade flute and coldly looked at Chu Guiyuan.
How dare he openly proclaim he was going to kill Qingyang Sword Sect’s Holy Son Xiao Yang in Nine Heavens City!
How arrogant!
He clearly didn’t respect Shifang Qimen or her father, Li Gaitian.
At the same time, Li Fan Yin was observing Xiao Yang.
Is he really the one who defeated Li Xingyao?
In her eyes, Xiao Yang was tall and slender, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, especially those deep-set eyes giving off a maturity that didn’t match his youth.
If it weren’t for his youthful appearance, Li Fan Yin would have thought he was an older martial artist who had experienced life and death.
In reality, she could never have imagined that Xiao Yang was actually an old monster with a thousand-year soul.
“Lady Li, our families are on the brink of an engagement; we’ll be family sooner or later. Why are you siding with an outsider?” Chu Guiyuan said with a smirk.
“Who’s family with you?”
Li Fan Yin’s pretty face suddenly turned cold.
“I see now!”
Xiao Yang realized something in that moment, recalling an event from his past life.
Chu Guiyuan was here to ask Li Gaitian for Li Fan Yin’s hand in marriage!
He couldn’t help but admire Chu Guiyuan—he had Liu Ruxian at his side and was still eyeing Li Fan Yin.
Liu Ruxian was a Heavenly Spirit Body, the perfect furnace.
Chu Guiyuan wasn’t attracted to her beauty but rather to her remarkable physique.
Cultivating alongside a Heavenly Spirit Body would significantly enhance Chu Guiyuan’s training speed.
“As long as my uncle agrees, you’ll be mine sooner or later,” Chu Guiyuan declared smugly.
“You…”
Li Fan Yin blushed furiously.
“Senior Brother, I’m truly glad you’re okay…”
At this moment, Jiang Ting stepped forward, looking at Xiao Yang excitedly.
“I’m not dead; are you disappointed?”
Xiao Yang’s tone was calm, yet it carried a distinct chill.
It felt like he was talking to a stranger.
“Senior Brother, don’t be like this; I have my reasons!”
Jiang Ting’s eyes welled up with tears.
“What reasons?”
Xiao Yang chuckled, shaking his head nonchalantly.
She knew full well that he could have died at the hands of Ming He and Yin Yue, but she still chose Qin Fei.
In a two-choice scenario, she picked her dear junior brother.
Xiao Yang was willing to bet and accept the results.
Moreover, he truly had never thought he would win.
Because in his previous life, Junior Sister Jiang Ting had never chosen him.
Her eyes were always for Qin Fei.
Though he knew that was the case, he still wanted to see how Junior Sister Jiang Ting would choose.
And indeed, she did not disappoint him.
In the two-choice game, Qin Fei won.
“This…”
Jiang Ting hesitated, unable to speak.
“Senior Brother, don’t blame my senior sister; she only cares too much for me. You shouldn’t misunderstand; there’s really nothing between me and my senior sister.”
Qin Fei stepped forward, feigning innocence.
“You know what, I actually believe you, because you don’t even have the means! Even if you wanted something between you and your senior sister, you couldn’t do it!”
“Hahaha…”
Xiao Yang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Turning this guy into a eunuch was simply too satisfying.
“Junior Sister…”
Qin Fei’s face turned crimson at that moment.
“Senior Brother, you’re going too far!”
Jiang Ting was furious too.
“Brother Holy Son is quite right; our Junior Brother is a eunuch now; he can only be sisters with Junior Sister. Can they even get married?”
Lin Wangchuan exclaimed out loud.
“What…?”
The crowd immediately shifted their gazes toward Qin Fei’s lower regions.
“…”
In the gaze of the crowd, Qin Fei was overwhelmed with rage and embarrassment, wishing he could sink into the ground as he cursed Xiao Yang and Lin Wangchuan incessantly.
