Capítulo 131

The woman was definitely Feng Wuyou, but the man… she wasn't so sure if it was Xue Beifan. How to put it… the voice and appearance were very similar, yet Xue Beifan's tone was now icy and chilling, as if he were a completely different person. Xiao Dao felt utterly unfamiliar with him. For a moment, she couldn't be sure if this person was Xue Beifan. But come to think of it, she'd only known Xue Beifan for a year and a half, and she'd always considered herself quite knowledgeable about him. But what was he really like? Had she ever truly seen him for who he was?

Xiao Dao felt increasingly choked up, his mind racing. Then he realized that maybe it wasn't his mind that was choked up, but rather that he had eaten too many pecans and was experiencing stomach pain.

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Feng Wuyou suddenly chuckle, "Don't tell me you're actually interested in that lowlife brat."

Xiao Dao's ears perked up, and he subconsciously looked through the crack in the window.

At this moment, the person holding the cup turned their face slightly to the side and placed the cup on the table.

Xiao Dao was shocked—it really was Xue Beifan!

Xiao Dao quickly pressed herself against the wall and held her breath. It really was Xue Beifan! On one hand, she was a little uneasy, and on the other hand, she really wanted to know Xue Beifan's answer.

However, Xue Beifan did not answer, but stood there in silence.

"She's just young and naive, but even the most innocent girl gets boring eventually," Feng Wuyou chuckled. "Your standards aren't that low, are they?"

After a long while, Xue Beifan suddenly asked sarcastically, "I have feelings for her?"

Xiao Dao's heart tightened.

"Hmm?" Feng Wuyou asked with a smile, "Aren't you interested in her?"

"How could that be?" Xue Beifan sneered.

Xiao Dao felt that it wasn't just a stomachache, but a pain that was spreading upwards. He pouted and cursed, "Damn Xue Er!"

"As expected." Feng Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I won't stoop to her level."

"I'm not interested in her," Xue Beifan said slowly, then continued, "I genuinely like her."

Xiao Dao was stunned, blinked... Huh?

Feng Wuyou's expression at this moment was probably similar to Yan Xiaodao's, staring at Xue Beifan, "You...heh, don't forget, the life and death of your Beihai Sect are in my hands."

“She is far more important than the Beihai Sect.” Xue Beifan shrugged indifferently. “What’s so good about this mountain that’s like a graveyard? The sooner we disperse, the fewer people will be harmed.”

"Xue Beifan!" Feng Wuyou's voice sharpened. "Don't forget, your elder brother isn't dead yet. You want to break your promise? Don't you value your life?"

Xue Beifan smiled inexplicably, "Don't I seem like the kind of person who would risk his life for a woman?"

Feng Wuyou stamped his foot, "You've endured hardship for over twenty years, this is your best chance, and you're going to give up halfway for a woman?!"

Xue Beifan said seriously, "So what if I don't value my life?"

"You'll regret this!" Feng Wuyou grabbed Xue Beifan, who was about to leave. "You'll never have peace for the rest of your life if we don't find the Moon Sea Golden Boat and the Holy Martial Emperor's Manual!"

Xue Beifan glanced at her and said, "I'll go find it right away, no need for you to worry."

As they were talking, the window was opened, and Xiao Dao subconsciously moved to the side, feeling uneasy.

"Xue Beifan!" Feng Wuyou chased after him to the window. "Don't you want to make something of yourself? Are you willing to spend your whole life being a good-for-nothing who is looked down upon?"

"I don't care what others think of me." Xue Beifan smiled. "I don't care what you think of me either. I only care about one person's opinion of me. That person is the one who says I'm not a good-for-nothing even when I consider myself one." As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Yan Xiaodao from the balcony.

Xiao Dao was startled, and Xue Beifan helped her leap off the Worry-Free Tower.

"Xue Beifan!" Feng Wuyou shouted from the window.

This shout attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Xue Beifan suddenly looked up at Feng Wuyou and said, "Feng Wuyou, aren't you annoying? I've told you I only like Yan Xiaodao. Go find someone else and stop bothering me and Xiaodao. You're not young anymore, have some shame, okay?"

Xiao Dao opened his mouth wide, thinking to himself, "There are so many people around here. If this gets out, it will spread like wildfire. The great beauty Feng Wuyou will lose all face. Won't she become a laughing stock tomorrow?"

Xue Beifan pulled Xiao Dao and walked back.

Xiao Dao followed behind, noticing that many people around them exchanged glances, their smiles tinged with schadenfreude. Sure enough, Feng Wuyou had offended quite a few people.

Therefore, being too arrogant makes you a laughing stock.

Turning out of the courtyard and walking back, Xiao Dao muttered, "Why did you embarrass Feng Wuyou like that?"

"She's the one who poisoned you." Xue Beifan smiled. "If I don't push her to the limit, she'll resort to underhanded tricks to harm you."

"She's already trying to poison me even when she's not in a hurry, so if she gets really anxious, wouldn't she want to tear me apart?" Xiao Dao's smile was so bitter.

“She won’t have a chance.” Xue Beifan stopped, pulled out his knife, and said, “Tomorrow I’ll find the fifth piece of dragon bone, and we’ll settle this matter.”

"So fast..."

"Nothing matters." Xue Beifan sighed softly, poking at the knife. "If something happens, I won't have so many regrets if I die sooner."

"Stop talking nonsense. My mother said your forehead is bright enough to bring you good fortune." Xiao Dao said, displeased.

“Since my mother-in-law has said so, I’m even less afraid,” Xue Beifan said with a smile.

Xiao Dao glanced at him; this Xue Beifan was just like the previous Xue Er...

Xiao Dao suddenly thought—perhaps it wasn't that she didn't understand him, but rather that Xue Beifan only showed his good side to the person he liked…

The moment she thought of the word "like," Xiao Dao's face immediately turned red.

"You're not kicking me this time?" Xue Beifan was somewhat surprised. "Is it okay that I've acknowledged my mother-in-law?"

"Shameless." Xiao Dao curled his lip and beckoned with his hand. "Since we're going to act tomorrow morning, let's get some sleep tonight!"

"Together?"
