Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 713 The Window Is Closed

“Now that the Dragon Court members are here, is he also coming?” Xia Shengtang walks to the woman in a cheongsam, saying with a sarcastic smile, “It will be the best if he doesn’t come. If he really comes, I will kick him out.”

“Oh?” The woman squints at him and says, “You are so confident?”

“Or else?” Xia Shengtang says confidently, “If I cannot deal with him, can I be Xia Lu’s brother?”

The woman is dazed and cannot figure out what the relationship between the two matters is. Is the mindset of the cultivator at the realm of Master so different from that of an ordinary man?

“Has he come here yet?” Xia Shengtang continues asking.

The woman is a bit confused, “Do you want him to come or not?”

Xia Shengtang cannot utter a word now. After a while, he snorts and says, “Women are so irrational.” Then, he just leaves.

The woman feels so angry that she wants to give him a serious beating.

Who on earth is being irrational?

“Sigh. Men are so complicated!” The man carrying the broadsword walks over quietly and sighs.

“You are not a man?” The woman takes a glance at him and sneers, “Yue Xincheng, aren’t you being trained by Horn Dragon? Why are you here too?”

“You are here. How can I not come here too? Ms. Qin, the Dragon Court only sends you here?”

“Of course, who else can be sent? Do you think they are idle?” Qin Yuming snaps, “Do you really think everyone is just like you?”

Yue Xincheng almost sheds tears in anger. He raises his arms as if a kid showing his new clothes to his parents and turns around a few times. Then, he stares at Qin Yuming primly and says with a serious face, “Ms. Qin, look at my muscles and skin. It’s almost winter and I still get tanned. Can you believe it?”

“Well…” Qin Yuming shakes her head. This is an unbelievable thing indeed.

Was Yue Xincheng brought by Horn Dragon to Southeast Region for the training?

“By the way, will your boss come or not?”

“If he didn’t come, I wouldn’t be here then,” Yue Xincheng says calmly.

“Oh?” Qin Yuming is surprised and asks, “Did he tell you about it?”

“No.”

“Then you…”

“It is a guess based on what I’ve known about him over the past years,” Yue Xincheng answers with gleaming eyes, “What do you think of my answer?”

Qin Yuming says nothing.

If others said so, Qin Yuming would give a snort of contempt.

However, such words uttered by Yue Xincheng sound somewhat convincing.

The atmosphere in the Xia Family is really weird now.

Some people arriving late are ushered into the yard by the servants of the Xia Family. Seeing such a weird scene, they are all shocked.

“Ahem. Xia, what’s going on?”

“Yeah, Xia Mu, is this…your test for the people who come to propose marriage?”

“No, it can’t be right. There is no such custom in Song City.”

These people approach Xia Mu and discuss the scene.

Xia Mu’s face keeps twitching and tears almost stream out of his eyes.

He has already felt embarrassed and now these people start chatting about it.

How should he respond?

How can he respond?

These people must be here to mess around!

Xia Mu feels like expelling them now!

“Ahem, Chen, don’t talk nonsense! Come here. Let me tell you what’s going on…” A guest who arrived earlier hastens to step forward and drag these people away. Then, he starts to explain the matter to them in a low voice. The people here are all cultivators. It is of little significance whether he talks in a low voice or not. For example, if Wu You wants to hear what the guest says, surely he can. This is actually a matter of respect. He can indeed hear the guest talking even though they talk in a low voice but it still proves that they are intending to conceal.

However, Wu You’s countenance still remains the same.

No one knows whether he really hears the gossiping or pretends not to.

Perhaps, the truth turns out to be as Xia Shengtang pointed out. That is, Wu You’s biggest merit is shamelessness…

Sitting before the window, Xia Lu looks at the two persons crawling towards her with a poker face.

Her eyes are cold. And she doesn’t mean to stand up and receive them.

Some of the people of the Wu Family are disgruntled now.

They think that Xia Lu is being too arrogant.

Even though Wu Jinxiu is frying in her own grease, doesn’t the lady of the Xia Family know she should be easy on others?

Wu Jinxiu and Wu Li finally stop. Wu Jinxiu raises her head and looks ahead. It happens that she meets Xia Lu’s gaze so she hastens to take the opportunity to say, “Miss Xia, we are here to apologize to you.”

Xia Lu stares at her with a smile on her face.

Seeing Xia Lu’s smile, Wu Jinxiu instantly feels as if being caressed by the spring breeze.

She thinks that the suffering is finally over.

She feels so relieved.

Her happiness is beyond words.

Now, she has seen Xia Lu stands up with a beaming face.

“It seems that Xia Lu is not so annoying,” Wu Jinxiu thinks to herself.

She only feels that Xia Shengtang has gone too far.

And Xia Lu is obviously unaware of this matter.

If she did, she wouldn’t force Wu Jinxiu to apologize to her in this way.

After all, a woman won’t make things difficult for another woman, right?

Wu You has taken two steps forward and reached out his arms to help them up.

However, when Wu Jinxiu grabs Wu You’s arms and means to get up, their faces stiffen instantly.

Xia Lu stands up, reaches out her hand and grips the window.

“Clap.”

She closes the window.

Wu Jinxiu and Wu Li are both shocked.

What just happened?

Does she…pretend not to see them?

Isn’t it too fake?

Wu You has no idea what he should do next.

He has reached out his arms.

Now he just withdraws them?

Is it too deliberate?

He takes a look at Xia Mu helplessly.

Xia Mu takes his hint and quickly turns around to shout at the room, “Lu, come out now!”

A woman’s voice sounds from the room.

“Lu is not here. Go and find Lucy.”

Xia Mu is pissed off. Who is Lucy?

Yue Xincheng following behind can’t help chuckling.

What a nice move!

It’s so typical of Xia Lu to do so.

Xia Mu is so angry that he knocks on the door with a long face.

“Open your door! They have arrived before your room and you are still hiding in the room. After all, an ugly daughter-in-law will have to face her parents-in-law sooner or later!”

The door is opened.

A mirror is passed to Xia Mu.

Then, the door is closed again.

“What does she mean?” Xia Mu takes the mirror subconsciously.

“Look into the mirror and see who is ugly,” the emotionless voice comes out, which sounds like Siri.
