Chapter 872 - 771: No Problem

Chapter 872: Chapter 771: No Problem

The burly middle-aged man was Sang Daokun, the Sect Leader of the Xianglong Sword Sect. He turned his head and asked the woman behind him, "Wei’er, what’s your husband’s name again?"

Xia Wanqing: "..."

His face darkened slightly; how could someone look for a son-in-law without knowing the son-in-law’s name?

Behind Sang Daokun, the bright-eyed, white-toothed young woman said, "His name is..."

Just as she had said two words, she looked up and saw Huangfu Jingchen descending the mountain with Xia Wanqing, instantly beaming with joy, saying, "My husband, I finally found you!" The woman was Sang Xuewei, whom they had met at Shian Temple before.

"What?" Xia Wanqing’s face turned ashen, shooting sharp glares at Huangfu Jingchen.

Sang Xuewei happily ran towards Huangfu Jingchen.

Zhu Mingwu took a few steps back, puzzled. Xia Wenjin and Huangfu Jingchen had been back at the village for several days, and the brothers in the village all knew of their relationship. Everyone knew this was the young miss’s chosen husband; how could he also be another woman’s husband? It’s too confusing!

This issue seemed unsolvable, and since the Village Chief was already out, it wasn’t his place to intervene.

He glanced at Huangfu Jingchen disdainfully. Initially, he thought this one was better than that other person, but how was this one just as unreliable? The young miss’s life sure was tough!

He was originally on the side of the young miss; if this pretty boy really was two-timing, then don’t blame him for being merciless.

Huangfu Jingchen was taken aback, it really was a case of sitting at home and trouble falling from the sky.

Sang Daokun laughed heartily, looking at Xia Wanqing with a hostile expression: "Chief Xia, now that we’ve found the person, do you believe what I said? Shouldn’t you give me an explanation now?"

Seeing Sang Xuewei directly pouncing towards him, he hastily took a few steps back, avoiding her enthusiasm and said righteously, "Miss Sang, although we’ve met a few times, we’re not that familiar. How can such things be said recklessly?"

"What’s so reckless?" Sang Xuewei pouted, her eyes scanning him briefly before spotting Xia Wenjin beside him, and instantly felt displeased: "Oh, Huang Zheng... oh no, Huangfu Jingchen, is it because there’s another woman by your side that you’re pretending not to be familiar with me?"

Xia Wenjin squinted slightly, if it was another woman it wouldn’t matter, but this Sang Xuewei, she did recognize. However, when they met, she only knew Huangfu Jingchen by the name Huang Zheng. How did Sang Xuewei know his real name?

Sang Xuewei pointed a finger, glaring fiercely at Xia Wenjin, and exclaimed, "Husband, have you been bewitched by this woman? Who is she? That day, you cuddling and kissing a man could pass, but now you have a new love interest, how can you justify this to me?"

With these words, even Xia Wenjin’s face darkened.

Xia Wanqing was so furious that he was about to explode, reaching out to grab Huangfu Jingchen while shouting, "You rotten kid, how dare you do such a thing?" Deceiving his daughter on one hand, while having an engagement with another woman.

He used to feel like this boy was more agreeable, but he didn’t expect him to be even more despicable than Huangfu Yuxuan.

And moreover, what did that little girl say?

Huangfu Jingchen had once cuddled and kissed a man?

It seems he not only has character issues but is also a Long Yang! How could Wenjin marry such a person? He used seventy percent of his True Power.

Sang Daokun blocked with his wide sword still in its sheath, laughing, "Chief Xia, as an elder it’s undignified to strike against the younger generation!"

Xia Wanqing’s face darkened, "Sang Sect Leader, matters of my village aren’t your concern!"

Sang Daokun said smugly, "I wouldn’t concern myself with Haotian Village’s affairs. But now you’re trying to strike my son-in-law, of course I have to intervene."

Huangfu Jingchen hurriedly said, "Uncle Xia, things aren’t like that. I have no relations with this young lady, please don’t misunderstand! I’m not her son-in-law either!"

"Misunderstand? They’ve already come knocking, how could it be a misunderstanding?" Other matters Xia Wanqing could endure, but when it came to Xia Wenjin, he wouldn’t endure at all. His eyes were full of deadly intent, he wouldn’t care if Huangfu Jingchen was some Imperial Grandson, if he dared to deceive his daughter, he would crush him!

But Xia Wenjin said calmly, "Father, don’t rush, take a look first!"

The enraged Xia Wanqing, initially prepared to strike again, held back his anger after his daughter’s words and grunted.

Sang Daokun also looked at Huangfu Jingchen, scrutinizing him with satisfaction, laughing heartily, "My obedient daughter has taste, this boy is not bad, quite handsome."

Huangfu Jingchen frowned and said, "Miss Sang, I had once saved you at Shian Temple. Why do you wish to harm me now?"

Sang Xuewei raised her eyebrows and said, "Mhm, correct! A life-saving grace should be repaid with giving oneself, no problem there!"

Huangfu Jingchen: "..."

He said incredulously, "How can you repay kindness with enmity?"

But Sang Daokun didn’t like hearing this, he said displeased, "Boy, Wei’er has been lovesick for you, as soon as she heard about you, she hurriedly came despite the long journey. How can you speak like that? Are you suggesting my daughter isn’t good enough for you? Do you know how many young talents have broken down my doorstep seeking her hand, yet she doesn’t see a single one of them!"

Huangfu Jingchen said indifferently, "That still isn’t a reason to repay kindness with enmity!"

Sang Xuewei said hurtfully, "Young Master Huangfu, there was a misunderstanding between us once, I thought you truly liked men and left heartbroken. But since you like women and we have known each other before, shouldn’t you choose me?"

Huangfu Jingchen reached out and held Xia Wenjin’s hand, saying to Sang Xuewei, "I have no promises or entanglements with Miss Sang, what’s the reason for ruining my reputation without cause?"

Sang Xuewei said, "How can you say there’s no entanglement? We were bound by fate before Buddha, and I even confessed my feelings to you then."

Huangfu Jingchen’s forehead was about to pulse with veins, but due to his handsome appearance, it didn’t affect his image. He coldly said, "There were no less than a thousand people before the Buddha that day, if you say that, I have fate with them all? Please show self-respect, Miss Sang."

Now understanding the situation, Xia Wanqing’s expression eased slightly.

This time, Sang Daokun’s face turned ashen, he raised his hand to grab Huangfu Jingchen, but Xia Wanqing blocked him, saying, "Sang Sect Leader, as an elder, it’s undignified to strike against the younger generation!"

This was a phrase Sang Daokun had said earlier, now returned intact by Xia Wanqing.

Upon hearing Huangfu Jingchen’s words, Sang Xuewei, in tears, looked at the hand-holding between Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin.

He had been holding Xia Wenjin’s hand without letting go, even now their fingers were interlocked. A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, she stepped forward, her five fingers forming hooks with a poison needle hidden in her palm, and unexpectedly struck towards Xia Wenjin!
