Chapter 867: Size Up
But what made Hexi dumbfounded was that the old man didn’t immediately bottom up the alcohols like last time. Instead, he carefully stored them in the storage device.
After keeping the alcohols, the old man was satisfied. After that, he glanced at Nangong Yu, who was standing next to his disciple, and said in a hostile tone, “Disciple, this little white face is not the sweetheart you said last time right?”
Hexi blushed and glanced around.
She saw Gu Liufeng and Shen Qingchuo looking at her; Shen Qingchuo’s eyes even widened in shock. The few children like Xi Lang and the others curiously surrounded her and looked at her and Nangong Yu.
Hexi felt that it was really a disgrace to have such a master.
But she was really unwilling to deny Nangong Yu’s ident.i.ty.
So, under the gaze of Nangong Yu’s scorching antic.i.p.ation, Hexi still blushed and gave a low “en” before saying, “He is Nangong Yu. I brought him to see Master.”
The old man squinted his eyes and glanced at Nangong Yu critically. He snorted coldly and said in a strange way, “Aiya, you even brought him to see master. Is this kid really that good?”
Nangong Yu was high-spirited at this time. Even the coldness in his eyes had faded a lot.
This is the first time Xi’er has admitted our relations.h.i.+p in public!
Now she even brought me to see her master! Doesn’t that mean we aren’t far from getting married?
Thinking of this, Nangong Yu couldn’t help smiling a little; he no longer cared about the rude comments of the old man.
He took a step forward and slowly cupped his fist toward the old man, “Immortal Xuan Qing, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
This time, it was Hexi’s turn to be stunned.
She looked at the old man with a hostile face, then she looked at Nangong Yu and said in wonder, “You two know each other?”
Nangong Yu smiled faintly. His expression showed no emotion, “A few years ago, I have met Immortal by chance.”
Hexi glanced at her master, and she saw that he frowned and said unwillingly, “A few years ago you were just a little guy whose hairs were even grown fully yet. You even had a sissy tone. In just a few years, you have already abducted my most beloved disciple.”
Nangong Yu did not get angry when he heard the words, but he reached out and shook Hexi’s little hand. He said softly, “Immortal Xuan Qing, I really like Xi’er; I want to marry her as a wife, and I will only love Xi’er alone in my life. I will never have any relations.h.i.+p with other women. I hope Immortal Xuan Qing can approve our marriage.”
When Nangong Yu said this, everyone on the sidelines was moved.
Most of the people here were women and children. They had little knowledge, so they didn’t recognize Nangong Yu’s ident.i.ty. However, judging by his demeanor and excellent appearance, they knew that he was extraordinary.
In Miluo Continent, men usually had few wives and concubines. This man actually promised “not to have any relations.h.i.+p with other women”. That was really too shocking.
Only Immortal Xuan Qing snorted. He disdainfully said, “Isn’t it natural not to have a relations.h.i.+p with other women? Or you think that my Xuan Qing’s disciple can simply marry anyone? If it weren’t for your excellent talent and there is no one better than you in the Miluo Continent, do you think you are worthy of my disciple?”
Nangong Yu smiled with scorching eyes, “I only recognize Xi’er as my partner. Since I want to marry her, I will naturally try to be worthy of her; I will protect her for the rest of my life!”
