Urban Super Thor

Kapitel 122

Finally, Xiao Dao, enraged and embarrassed, turned around abruptly and met Xue Beifan's face... Just then, this guy came right up to them, and in the blink of an eye, their noses touched and their mouths met.

"Pah, pah..." Xiao Dao kicked him away and spat.

Xue Beifan was still covering his mouth, his finger trembling as he pointed at the knife. "Why do you always take advantage of me, you little brat!"

Xiao Dao wanted to pinch his face, and just as he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, Xue Beifan grabbed his wrist and pulled him behind a pillar, "Shh!"

"What?" Xiao Dao opened her eyes wide, blocking his face which was so close to hers, while looking outside. Was there danger?

Xue Beifan reached out and poked the doorway. "Look!"

Then they saw Chonghua return, holding Xiaoyue's hand, the two chatting and laughing.

"Tsk tsk." Xue Beifan shook his head and sighed, "That Chonghua kid is amazing, he actually won against Xinghai."

"What's with all this 'stealing'?" Xiao Dao said smugly. "This is called 'true love prevails in the end.'"

Xue Beifan chuckled, "Well, I'm a lover too. I've taken advantage of my family members but I won't admit it. I'm not honest at all."

Xiao Dao glared at him, broke free, and ran down the steps.

Xue Beifan followed. Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed to see the two of them, but Chonghua held her hand generously, clearly still excited.

At this moment, a maid from the Xue family ran over to invite Xue Beifan, saying that the madam was hosting a banquet to welcome them.

Xue Beifan was puzzled, "Is there a welcome feast?"

Xiao Dao subtly tugged at Xue Beifan's sleeve, as if to say—was he plotting something?

Xue Beifan agreed to change his clothes and go. Before leaving, Wei Xinjie came to see him and Xiaoyue for a while, and then left.

As they walked towards the backyard, Xiao Dao, curious, leaned closer to Xue Beifan and asked, "What did Wei Xinjie say?"

"Oh, he's gone."

"What?!" Xiao Dao exclaimed in surprise, "Why?"

"Having found a girl, I'll naturally go back and claim the credit," Xue Beifan laughed.

"So eager?" Xiao Dao squinted. "He seemed to have some interest in dragon bones before, why did he suddenly give up?"

"He's not interested in the dragon bones, but in my elder brother," Xue Beifan said in a low voice. "The Beihai Sect has always been a target of envy and suspicion. A powerful martial arts sect like that can make the imperial court worry. Especially with my elder brother's sudden disappearance, it's hard not to think of the Moon Sea Golden Boat and the Holy Martial Emperor's Register. With both 'Holy' and 'Emperor' in their titles, wouldn't that make the real royal family worry? Wei Xinjie has some suspicions about my elder brother, but he has urgent business to attend to back in the capital, so he entrusted the matter to me."

Xiao Dao was puzzled. "He trusts you that much?"

"Heh, trust comes with conditions." Xue Beifan crossed his arms and said in a low voice, "If everything really ends, I will disband the Beihai Sect."

"Huh?!" Xiao Dao felt it was a pity. "They're just going to disband like this? Such a large sect has tens of thousands of members."

"So it might take a year or two to disband." Xue Beifan felt a headache just thinking about it. "That's why I hate things in the martial arts world."

"You...don't you want to be the new leader of the Beihai Sect?" Xiao Dao muttered. "You're not exactly lacking in ability..."

"Why bother with such a big sect?" Xue Beifan shrugged and looked at Xiao Dao. "It's too much trouble. You might as well spend more time on romance and love."

Xiao Dao pointed at him, both amused and exasperated, "You have no ambition!"

“You women are really strange.” Xue Beifan shook his head. “All day long you say that men don’t give as much as you do, and you want men to be ambitious, tolerant, and have this and that kind of heart, but in the end you still say that you hate it when men are suspicious… Sigh, being a man is really not easy.”

Xiao Dao was amused by Xue Beifan's words and was about to retort when she suddenly felt an inexplicable murderous aura. Startled, she shrank back and quickly moved closer to Xue Beifan, then looked back.

"What's wrong?" Xue Beifan looked at her, puzzled.

"Um...no." Xiao Dao rubbed his neck and asked Xue Beifan in a low voice, "Has anyone died in your yard?"

Xue Beifan was taken aback. "Who died?"

"It's like the maids who were beaten to death, the servants who were slaughtered, those haunting spirits that linger around them..." Xiao Dao said, touching his chest—it felt so strange, like being stared at by snakes, scorpions, or vicious dogs, so unsettling!

"You little rascal, you're overthinking things again." Xue Beifan shook his head helplessly, but took advantage of Xiaodao's inattention to move to her other side and casually said, "It's quite windy tonight."

Xiao Dao also thought it might be due to the strong wind, and her attention was immediately diverted by Xue Beifan's hand that he had placed on her shoulder. She focused on holding his hand to prevent him from hugging her. Xue Beifan led her out of the courtyard and glanced coldly at the porch behind... Behind one of the pillars of the porch, a white hem was revealed.

We arrived at the place where the lady was holding the banquet.

Wang Bibo also arrived and leaned close to Xiao Dao, whispering, "Sigh, why does this lady love to throw banquets so much?"

Xiao Dao pouted, indicating that he didn't know where to go from.

Xue Beifan frowned. After all, Wang Bibo and Yan Xiaodao had known each other for a long time and were quite familiar with each other... He sighed helplessly.

Seeing him sighing, Xiao Dao sat down next to him and asked curiously, "Oh, Feng Wuyou is here too." As she spoke, she pointed to Feng Wuyou, who was dressed in white like a fairy, slowly walking in from behind the door. She walked in, went to Madam Xue's side, and whispered a few words.

Xue Beifan frowned and saw Feng Wuyou and Madam Xue standing under a tree not far away. The two seemed to be discussing something and were very engrossed in their conversation, so the others had no choice but to wait.

Xue Beifan sighed again.

Xiao Dao squinted at him, "Why are you sighing?"

"Oh, my first sigh was a sigh about my own uselessness, and my second sigh was a sigh about my own helplessness."

Xiao Dao blinked, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "Why are you at your wit's end?"

Xue Beifan sighed softly.

"What are you sighing about this time?" Xiao Dao asked, displeased.

“This time, there’s nothing we can do.” Xue Beifan raised an eyebrow.
