Zanxing

Chapter 9 – Divorce (1)

“Have not been found?” Wang Shao’s good mood dissipated immediately, and he was about to throw the cup angrily, when he suddenly remembered that the tea was precious, and he had to pay for the broken cup, so he put it down again, and said angrily, “A bunch of trash. Can’t even find someone!”

The servant dared not speak.

On the side of the stream that day, their group encountered the demonic monster ‘Hu’, and Miss Yang was killed by the monster, leaving no bones behind. Although Wang Shao was angry in his heart, he quickly turned his attention to Liu Yunxin. To him, women were no different from goods, if one was gone, you could get another.

What’s more, he had coveted Liu Yunxin for a long time.

Therefore, he tied up Liu Yunxin and Mu Cengxiao and took them away. He originally wanted to wait until they arrived in Pingyang Town to take Liu Yunxin for his own use. Unexpectedly, that night, Mu Cengxiao fled with Liu Yunxin.

He had no idea where they had gone, and the people sent by Wang Shao couldn’t find out their whereabouts, which was particularly annoying.

“Young Master… do you want to continue to investigate?” the boy asked.

“Forget it, Mu Cengxiao is trash. He wants to join Taiyan Sect, which is beyond his ability. In that case, he will need to go to Pingyang Town, and will appear on the day of the selection competition without me having to look for him. When that time comes, I’ll slowly get rid of him!”

The servant backed away.

Wang Shao was still a little upset. On the way to Pingyang Town this time, Yang Zanxing was killed by the demonic monster, and he lost Liu Yunxin. Now he couldn’t even find a trace of Mu Cengxiao, which was annoying. He drained the cup of tea, stood up and walked out the door.

In the inn lobby downstairs, many young cultivators were sitting around, enthusiastically discussing the upcoming recruitment of Taiyan Sect.

In the world of cultivation in Duzhou, Taiyan Sect was well-known. The sect had not recruited new disciples for nearly ten years, and this year, young talents from all over the world had gathered here from afar. There were different accents and different clothing everywhere. When they came together, it was indeed very lively.

As ‘Good Luck’ inn was expensive, most people who could afford to come here were the favored sons of big clans. As the young master of a small border town like Wang Shao, he was actually a little reluctant to come in. However, Wang Shao was also very shrewd, if he could get to know other disciples here, they would be able to take care of him after joining Taiyan Sect. After all, he was the only one who came to Yue City to join Taiyan Sect. Going alone was not always easy in the beginning.

“Ah, young master Wang also came out.” A woman’s voice sounded from behind.

Wang Shao turned around, and there was a young woman standing behind him. Although the woman was not considered a national beauty, she had a style of her own. Her eyes were long and slender, her nose and lips were small, her skin was very fair, and when she smiled, it was especially charming. The gauze skirt on her body was also very thin, faintly revealing a layer of crimson underclothes, like a fox demon in a legendary story, her eyes fluttered, seducing people’s hearts away.

“Miss Xiangrao, did you sleep well last night?” Wang Shao asked personably.

Duan Xiangrao smiled slightly, her eyes fixed on Wang Shao, “Very well, thank you, young master Wang.”

Wang Shao first met Duan Xiangrao when the woman was standing in front of ‘Good Luck’ inn. It seemed that she was driven out of the inn because she had no money, and at that critical juncture, Wang Shao came out as a hero to rescue the beauty.

He liked this woman, not only because Duan Xiangrao was bold, fragrant and tender, but also because Duan Xiangrao’s cultivation was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. If all went well, Duan Xiangrao should also be able to enter Taiyan Sect. It would be wonderful to cultivate and benefit together as a beautiful Taoist couple at Taiyan Sect.

Therefore, these days Wang Shao and Duan Xiangrao were always entangled together, and their relationship had grown by leaps and bounds. For those who didn’t know, they would think that Duan Xiangrao was his fiancée.

As for the original “Miss Yang”, Wang Shao had long forgotten about her.

“In two days, it will be the selection competition for Taiyan Sect to recruit new disciples. I heard that there are many spiritual elixirs and herbs in Huajinlou. Would you like to go together and have a look, young master Wang?” Duan Xiangrao said with a smile.

Wang Shao maintained the usual smile on his face, but he felt a little displeased in his heart. For the past few days, it was fine for Duan Xiangrao to eat and live with him, he even had to pay for her clothes and jewelry with spirit stones. Pingyang Town was no better than Yue City, the prices had skyrocketed. Duan Xiangrao clearly regarded him as a fat sheep.    

But… the male cultivators who heard their conversation were looking at them. If he dismissed what she said at this moment, he would appear stingy. Spending money was a minor issue, but losing face was a major issue. After carefully calculating the remaining spirit stones in his heart, Wang Shao bit the bullet and replied, “I have this intention too, let’s go.”    

Duan Xiangrao followed with a smile.    

As soon as the two of them reached the door of the inn, they heard a surprised voice saying, “Young Master!”    

A little girl with a double ring bun and clusters of red beans on the bun rushed over and said with a beaming smile, “Young Master, I have finally found you!” After that, she turned back to the girl in green clothes behind her and said, “Miss, you guessed correctly, the Young Master is indeed here!” Zanxing looked at the inn in front of her. There were still many cultivators gathered at the entrance of the inn, and when Hongsu’s voice died down, many people were looking over at them.    

It was not difficult to find out where Wang Shao was. Although Pingyang Town was lively and prosperous, it was only a small town after all. Considering Wang Shao’s habitual vain personality and consumption level, she learned that only the ‘Good Luck’ inn in town had river view rooms. It was not difficult to guess where Wang Shao was staying.    

Wang Shao frowned, looked at Hongsu and said nothing. Hongsu panicked, pulled Zanxing towards Wang Shao, and said, “Young Master, look, our young lady is not dead, and she came here to look for you!”

“Zanxing?” Wang Shao was stunned.    

The girl in front of him was wearing a soft green skirt, and her face was covered with a layer of white tulle, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. She looked at him silently and didn’t speak for a while.

“How is it possible?” Wang Shao paused for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, “Didn’t you get caught in the water by a demonic monster? How could you still be alive!”

“I escaped.” The girl’s voice was calm, very different from the coquettishness of the past.

Wang Shao hadn’t noticed this difference. Duan Xiangrao’s eyes fell on the white veil on Zanxing’s face, and she saw that there seemed to be faint black marks under the veil. Her heart moved, and she stepped forward with a smile and said, “This is young master Wang’s fiancée, Miss Yang.”

As soon as her words fell, the fingers hidden in her sleeve moved, and a gust of wind flew towards Zanxing, lifting the white veil.

Someone exclaimed, “Ah”.

Wang Shao pointed at her with one hand, astonishment and disgust reflected on his face, “What is this?!”
