Capítulo 12: Inner Turmoil

During their small talk, both of them didn't consider Xing Hao and the Imperial Star Dynasty as a threat.

Tang Jingxue wasn't worried because the Peerless Heaven Sword Sect was not much different from the Imperial Star Dynasty in terms of power and she still got the trump card left by her.

Additionally, Xiao Chen she knows wasn't an impulsive man who would do something dangerous without consequences just to impress her.

Tang Jingxue also had her suspicious about Xiao chen, the mysterious man whose cultivation speed, comprehension, and temperament surpassing those monstrous talents from the upper realm.

While she was occupied with her thoughts, Xiao Chen was filled with delight after seeing her reaction to his words about killing Xing Hao.

In the future, he might have to kill countless people, even innocent ones.

So, that's why he tested her by releasing his murderous intent.

When he saw her pleading with a genuinely worried expression, he finally felt a sense of belonging to someone.

As an orphan, he didn't have any friends or confidants in his previous life. It was the first time for him to see someone who was so worried for him

At first, he approached her with calculative intentions and became her dao companion by an accident.

But as time went by, he gradually grew fond of Tang Jingxue.

As he pondered his feelings, he secretly vowed in his heart to protect her for the rest of his life.

Exactly at that moment, system prompts sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Tang Jingxue's favorability increased by 7.]

In the evening, both of them decided to pay a visit to the city lord.

As they walked out of the inn together, Xiao chen immediately felt a fiery gaze focused on him.

'Just as I expected,' He smiled, knowing who it was. 'He was waiting for me'

A few moments before, The Oracle Stone locator had already notified him of Ye Fan's location.

After deciding to follow Xiao chen, Ye Fan had rented a room near the inn where he was staying.

It didn't take much time to find the inn as Xiao chen and Tang jingxue were basically the talk of the town.

When Ye Fan saw the two of them comimg out, He shot a glare at Xiao chen and turned his head to the woman that was eerily similar to Tang Jingxue.

Seeing her so lively and chatting happily with Xiao Chen while holding one of his arms, He was uncomfortable as though he had eaten shit.

He silently followed Xiao Chen and Tang Jingxue to the city lord mansion.

Soon, a magnificent silver manison appeared in sight which screamed of wealth.

Looking at this place, Xiao Chen felt a sharp sensation like a sword hidden in his sheath.

As the two of them approached the gate, the butler immediately came to their side and invited them inside. "Please this way, Young Master and Young Lady."

Seeing his polite actions, the guards and the servants saluted them, thier shouts echoing throughout the mansion.

Xiao Chen and Tang Jingxue nodded and went inside the mansion.

Ye Fan retreated after seeing them enter the city lord mansion with a puzzled face.

The City Lord of Silver Cloud City had a very high status in the Peerless Heaven Sword Sect.

Even with his genius status, He couldn't get into this mansion in the past.

Just then, the image of the woman who was with Xiao chen came to his mind and as he recalled Tang Jingxue's status as a saint, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

'No.....way! It can't be....!!' he immediately threw this thought out of his mind as it scared him to the core.

His pride couldn't accept his goddess being with a man other than him and his arrogance as the Young Master of the Immortal Ye family won't allow it!
