Tonight, Xuan Ye was wearing a purple and black evening dress. She seemed to have put on makeup carefully, making her look sexy and beautiful.
In fact, although Ye Xuan's beauty is not as good as Chu Xinyue, Huangfu Jing and others, she is still superior. With careful grooming, she can be called a beauty.
She came here with Wen Liang.
"Yang Yu, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Wen Liang said.
"Are you waiting for us for anything?" Li Tiandao said.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little sympathetic. Don't look at me as a carefree person. In fact, I have always been very conceited. Even Zhou Sheng, I have never paid attention to you. You are one of the few people on this earth who let me
Anyone interested," Wen Liang said.
Although Wen Liang kept smiling, Li Tian felt very inconsistent.
He didn't smile fakely, but it just made people feel uncomfortable.
At this time, someone called Wen Liang's name. Wen Liang smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll go over first."
Afterwards, Wen Liang left.
However, Xuan Ye did not leave.
Li Tian glanced at Ye Xuan with a complicated expression.
"Xuan Ye, I don't know what you want to do, but don't dance with wolves." Li Tian thought for a while and finally said.
Xuan Ye put her hands behind her back and smiled slightly: "Are you worried about me?"
"What should I say, you are also the wife of my good friend Li Tian." Li Tian said with a calm expression.
"Well..." Ye Xuan took two steps forward and then said, "Thank you."
Li Tian said nothing more.
He took Huangfu Jing's hand and said, "Jingjing, let's go in."
When passing by Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan suddenly said: "Wen Liang already knows that I told you about his weaknesses."
Li Tian stopped, looked at Xuan Ye, and then said, "Have you been threatened by him?"
"No, I stayed with him voluntarily." Ye Xuan said.
"so."
Li Tian said nothing more, took Huangfu Jing's hand and went directly into the inner courtyard of the villa.
The inner courtyard is very large, and many people have already come inside.
Different from last time.
At the last engagement banquet, some outer disciples from Baihua Valley were able to come in.
But those who attended the engagement banquet today were all the core disciples, elders, and even the leader of the Thunder Sect of the Cultivation Alliance's sects.
He stood there, breathless as if in an abyss, and just standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression.
"Is this the Golden Core Realm?
Li Tian also saw two acquaintances in the yard, Makino and Mingyue.
The break between Makino and Mingyue is not known to outsiders.
In everyone's opinion, Makino and Mingyue are still an unmarried couple.
Strictly speaking, they are indeed an unmarried couple now, after all, their engagement has not been officially terminated.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Tian's eyes.
He already knew Makino's plan through his first life.
This man tempted or threatened Mingyue to seduce her in her first life on the condition of 'breaking off the engagement'.
"Bah, you scumbag."
Although Li Tian never thinks that he is a good man, he at least has a bottom line and will never let his woman sell her body to help him achieve success.
"How could such a good woman like Sister Mingyue end up with such a scumbag?"
Li Tianzhi shook his head.
While thinking secretly, Mingyue walked over directly.
"Li Tian, you are here." Mingyue greeted with a smile.
Li Tian nodded.
He glanced at Makino and said, "Hasn't that guy terminated your engagement with him yet?"
Mingyue shrugged: "If it were that easy, he wouldn't be called Makino."
Mingyue paused and then said: "It seems that you have to help me make an appointment with your sect master."
"Ha~"
Li Tian's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said: "I understand."
Afterwards, the three of them sat together at a dining table in the courtyard.
"I'm going to the toilet."
Li Tian then left.
Only Mingyue and Huangfu Jing were left on the dining table.
Mingyue looked at Huangfu Jing again, and suddenly smiled slightly and said: "Jingjing, sometimes, I really envy you. Although you don't have the status of a wife, you are doted on. Like me, like Jiang Meiren, although
They all have the title of head wives, but..."
A bitter smile appeared on her lips.
Huangfujing looked at Mingyue and suddenly said: "Sister Mingyue, have you ever liked Li Tian? The kind of love between men and women."
Mingyue was stunned for a moment.
She didn't speak, and her expression showed a trace of confusion.
"I really don't know whether it has happened or not."
Huangfujing picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said nothing.
At this time, Li Tian came back.
"What are you talking about?" Li Tian asked casually.
"Nothing." Mingyue smiled first.
Huangfujing didn't speak either.
"Okay, I won't disturb you two anymore, I'm leaving."
Then Mingyue left.
When Li Tian came here, he quickly became the focus.
Firstly, it was because Li Tian shone in the ancient martial arts competition, defeating powerful enemies as a dark horse and reaching the finals.
The second reason is because the heroine of tonight's engagement party was once engaged to Li Tian.
In addition, everyone is becoming more and more curious about Tiangong, a newly emerging sect.
Although Mingyue's joining Tiangong did not cause any waves in the outside world, it caused a huge sensation within the cultivation world.
A sect that allows a strong person in the middle stage of foundation building to join must have its attractions.
In everyone's opinion, the most attractive thing about Tiangong is the mysterious sect leader.
"Tell me, who is this Tiangong sect leader?"
"Who knows!"
"I heard that Yang Yu is the direct disciple of the Tiangong Sect Master."
"Would you like to go over and find out?"
However, before these people could take action, someone was already sitting at Li Tian's dining table.
Wen Liang and Ye Xuan.
"There are two empty seats here, can we sit here?" Wen Liang said with a smile.
This man always has such a smiling look in his eyes outside, and this harmless look makes many people mistakenly think that Wenliang is just like his name, gentle and kind.
But only a few people know that Wen Liang's true face is actually completely opposite to his name.
This man is ruthless, even to the point of cruelty.
He is completely a demon in human skin.
"Even if I refuse, you will still sit down, right?" Li Tian rolled his eyes.
"Oh, Brother Yang really knows me very well." Wen Liang paused, then changed his tone and said, "Did Xuan Ye tell you again?"
Li Tian didn't speak. He looked at Wen Liang for a long time, and then said calmly: "Wen Liang, this Ye Xuan is the widow of my friend. If you do anything to her..."
"How? What if we mess with her?" Wen Liang followed Li Tian's words and asked.
Ye Xuan did not speak, but looked at Li Tian quietly.
She also wanted to know how Li Tian would answer.
Li Tian is now in a difficult position of riding a tiger.
If it were Chu Xinyue, Huangfu Jing, or even Xia Qianxue, he would have made the death threat long ago.
But the other party happened to be Ye Xuan, a woman who didn't really want to take care of her, but couldn't bear to ignore it completely.
At this moment, Huangfu Jing suddenly said: "Xuan Ye is the woman our sect master likes. If you want to know what will happen if you touch Xuan Ye, just try it."
"Eh?"
Li Tian and Ye Xuan were both a little confused.
Wen Liang did feel a little difficult.
Not to mention himself, even the elders of the Four Symbols Sect to which he belongs are a little afraid of the mysterious Tiangong Sect Leader.
You can't tell that person's information even by using divination.
After a while, Wen Liang regained his composure and said, "Miss Huangfu, it's not good to lie."
"If you don't believe it, you can try it." Huangfu Jing paused, then said expressionlessly: "Our sect leader has many women, so maybe he doesn't really care about Ye Xuan being humiliated."
Wen Liang's scalp felt numb.
As we all know, Huangfujing was once the woman of the Tiangong sect leader, and was later given to Yang Yu by that person.
Then she must know more about the situation of the Tiangong Sect Master.
"What if this Xuan Ye is really the woman that that person likes..."
Wen Liang had a headache.
There is an unwritten unspoken rule in the world of cultivation. Seniors generally do not interfere in matters between juniors.
But if Ye Xuan is really the woman that the Tiangong Sect Master likes, then it is not a matter between the juniors.
He tried to find traces of her lying on Huangfujing's face, but Huangfujing had facial paralysis and could not see any expression of emotion on her face.
After the expression on his face changed several times, Wen Liang finally gave in.
He smiled slightly, then looked at Xuan Ye and said, "It turns out that Miss Ye is the woman that the Tiangong Sect Master likes. I'm sorry."
After saying that, Wen Liang stood up and left.
After Wen Liang left, Xuan Ye looked at Huangfu Jing and said, "Miss Huangfu, thank you for helping me out."
"Nothing." Huangfu Jing paused and then said: "My husband is right, I don't know what your purpose is, but dancing with wolves and seeking skin from tigers is very dangerous. Maybe you don't care about your own life, but
..."
Huangfu Jing paused and then said, "Some people will care."
Ye Xuan was stunned.
She lowered her head and burst into tears instantly.
"sorry."
After saying that, Xuan Ye ran away.
She ran to a place where no one was around and cried loudly, almost losing control of her emotions.
She knew the "someone would care" in Huangfu Jing's words, and who that person was.
"Why am I so stupid? Why am I encouraged and bewitched by Zhang Liang to hire a murderer to kill Li Tian? Why am I so stupid?"
After crying loudly for a long time, Xuan Ye gradually calmed down.
Phew~
She took a deep breath, and then said to herself: "Speaking of which, I almost forgot, I still have one very important thing that I haven't done."
Then, Xuan Ye turned around and left, and her figure quickly disappeared into the night without knowing her whereabouts.
——-
Jiang's residence.
The engagement banquet went on as usual. Zhao Xiao, the male protagonist of the engagement banquet, showed up, but Jiang Meiren, the heroine of the engagement banquet, never appeared.
As time passed, the atmosphere began to get weird.
"Why hasn't Beauty Jiang come out yet?"
"I heard she was resisting the marriage."
"No way? Zhao Xiao is a direct disciple of the leader of the Lei Ming Sect. She has a handsome appearance and a profound background, and most importantly, Zhao Xiao married her. I remember that last time, she was Yang Yu's concubine.
They all looked very happy.”
"Who knows what that woman is thinking? She would rather be a concubine than a real wife? There is something wrong with her brain."
"I don't know if there's something wrong with my brain. But that ginger beauty is really a stunner, and her figure is simply evil!"
"indeed."
As the crowd gathered, Li Tian also looked serious.
"Li Tian, will something happen?" Huangfu said quietly.
Li Tian shook his head and said: "I don't know. In the world of cultivation, high-power hearing is almost useless because there are soundproof barriers everywhere."
There are lights everywhere here, and Li Tian cannot use Shadow Escape.
"What happened?"
At this time, Li Tian suddenly stood up: "Quietly, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, Li Tian went directly to the door of the main building of the villa.
But he was stopped in front of the door.
"I'm Jiang Meiren's friend, and I have something to ask her about." Li Tian said calmly.
"No." The guard refused directly.
"Let him come in." At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from the room.
It was Zhao Xiao.
Li Tian then passed the guards and walked in.
"Zhao Xiao, what happened to Beauty Jiang?" Li Tian asked directly.
"She committed suicide." Zhao Xiao said calmly.
"What?!" Li Tian was immediately stunned on the spot.
"Come with me." Zhao Xiao said calmly.
A moment later, Li Tian saw Jiang Meiren, who was weak and on the verge of death, in a room where the Jiang family resided.
There were doctors nearby giving her resuscitation, but the situation didn't look promising.
"You are standing at the door now." Zhao Xiao said.
Li Tian nodded.
Zhao Xiao then entered the house.
"I'm sorry. This poison comes from the Danhong from the Glazed Plane. There is currently no cure on earth. I have given her a shot in the arm. She should still have a period of 'return to light', which can last about 24 hours.
"She will definitely die in 24 hours," the doctor said.
After the doctor finished speaking, he left.
There was a middle-aged man in the room, his face was ashen.
It is none other than the leader of the Lei Ming Sect, Chen Wan.
"What do you mean? Are you deliberately making Zhao Xiao embarrassed and our Lei Ming Sect embarrassed?"
Chen Wan was furious: "Believe it or not, I wiped out your Jiang family?!"
The Jiang family turned pale with fright and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Sect Master Chen, please calm down. We didn't know this child could be so strong."
"I understand. This girl took poison on purpose on this occasion. She was taking revenge on us for ruining her marriage to Yang Yu." Someone said again.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Wan became furious.
"What do you mean? Does it mean that she would rather be Yang Yu's concubine than marry our Zhao Xiao as our wife? What does she mean? Is she humiliating our Lei Ming Sect?"
The Jiang family was even more trembling.
"Sect Master Chen, please calm down. How dare we humiliate the Lei Ming Sect? This girl is the one who makes the decision. It's all this damn girl's fault."
Pa~
At this moment, Zhao Xiao suddenly slapped the man in the face.
"Do you really regard Miss Jiang as your family? You actually said such things."
"However, this girl chose to commit suicide by taking poison on an occasion like today. She clearly wanted to embarrass our Jiang family and bring disaster to our Jiang family."
"Shut up!"
Zhao Xiao clenched his hands, his eyes filled with anger, sadness, and...reluctance.
At this time, Jiang Meiren, who had fallen into a coma, slowly opened her eyes.
She seems to be in pretty good shape.
But everyone knows that this is just a 'reflection' before death.
"By the way, let's hold the engagement party while she's still in good condition, right?" one of the Jiang family said.
When Chen Wan heard this, he became furious again.
"Now that things have come to this, you still want Zhao Xiao to marry a woman who is about to die?!"
The Jiang family members were immediately frightened and knelt down again, with their faces on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Beauty, am I so annoying to you?"
At this time, Zhao Xiao said: "I admit that I did force you to marry me, but if I didn't do it, would you marry me?"
Jiang Meiren was lying on the bed with a slight smile on her face.
"No, I don't hate you. Among the men I know, you can even be said to be my second favorite man. But, Zhao Xiao, despite my usual debauchery, I actually care about marriage. I
The marriage I want doesn’t care about its form, simple or luxurious, it doesn’t matter. What I care about is the person I want to marry.”
Zhao Xiao clenched his fists: "So, where am I worse than Yang Yu?"
Jiang Meiren smiled and said: "You are no worse than him. In fact, you are more dedicated than him. It's just that love is neither a step early nor a step late. If you happen to meet it, you will fall in love. If
If I meet you at the right time, I might also like you."
Outside the door.
Li Tian leaned his back against the wall, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and blew out a wave of smoke rings.
He didn't know what to say.
He really didn't deliberately try to win Meiren Jiang's favor, but it was this inadvertent tenderness that warmed Meiren Jiang's heart like a spring breeze.
"Why."
Li Tian sighed quietly.
Jiang Meiren, who was lying on the bed, heard this sigh very keenly.
She half sat up and looked outside the door.
"Yang Yu?" Jiang Meiren asked.
Li Tian put out his cigarette butt and walked into the house.
Seeing Li Tian come in, Chen Wan's pupils narrowed again.
If he wasn't worried about the Tiangong sect leader behind Li Tian, Chen Wan would have already taken action against Li Tian.
It is because of this guy that the Lei Ming Sect is now in a very embarrassing situation.
When she saw Li Tian, Jiang Meiren was greatly surprised at first, and then a touch of sadness flashed in her eyes.
She knew very well that her current situation was entirely supported by a strong shot in the arm.
Once the effect of the cardiac injection wears off, she will die soon.
During his conflicting mood, Li Tian had already arrived at the hospital bed.
"I'm sorry." Li Tian said.
"Ah, why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong." Jiang Meiren said.
"Actually, Sister Jing criticized me outside just now. She said that I terminated my engagement with you because of a trivial matter, and as a result, I drove you to a dead end."
Li Tian paused and then said, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Meiren smiled: "Huangfu Jing is really... a good woman, I am ashamed of herself."
Li Tian was silent.
After a while, he turned to look at Zhao Xiao and said, "Can I take her away?"
"No!" Chen Wan said with a dark face: "If you take her away, what will happen to our Lei Ming Sect's reputation? Are we going to let so many people outside see our jokes?"
"Then what do you think we should do? Anyway, I must take her away today." Li Tian said calmly.
Chen Wan suddenly grinned: "I do have a very good idea."
