Chapter 40
Yan Sen and the others' hearts skipped a beat when Jian Xi called out, "Fifth Sister! I missed you so much!"
Did they know each other?
Su Yinghe tapped Jian Xi on the nose and said, "Fifth Sister missed you too, missed you to death. Come, let me ruffle your hair!" She reached out her claws toward Jian Xi's head.
Jian Xi obediently let her ruffle her hair. Su Yinghe loved ruffling her hair, though Jian Xi still didn't understand why everyone loved ruffling her hair so much!
With others around, Su Yinghe didn't go overboard. After ruffling for a bit, she removed her hand.
She turned her gaze to Yan Sen and kicked his knee with her high heels. "Who were you saying you'd take away just now?"
Yan Sen's leg went limp from her kick and he collapsed on the ground. After getting judo flipped earlier, now he got kicked. He felt like he had lost all dignity.
He was furious, but didn't dare offend Su Yinghe due to the Su family's status. "Miss Su misunderstood. I was drunk and spouting nonsense. Please be the bigger person and forgive me this once?" Jian Xi scorned him. What a bully!
Su Yinghe spoke unhappily, "You should apologize to her, not me."
Yan Sen was grinding his teeth. He struggled up from the ground and bowed to Jian Xi, "I'm sorry Miss. I didn't know Mount Tai. Please don't take offense with me."
The few men behind him also bowed and apologized. Of course they knew who Su Yinghe was! The Su family only had this one daughter, the future heir to Su Corporation. They were just some unimportant second generation rich kids. How could they afford to offend her!
If only they knew Su Yinghe didn't even know who they were!
Jian Xi didn't want a big fuss. It wasn't that she was afraid, she just found it annoying!
Ignoring their apologies, she turned to Su Yinghe, "Fifth Sister let's go. Sixth Brother is still waiting!"
Su Yinghe understood her intention and didn't say more. Taking advantage of her height, she wrapped her arm around Jian Xi and walked away.
After they left, Yan Sen straightened up from his bow. His gaze was vicious as he watched their departing backs. "Just you wait!"
When Jian Xi and Su Yinghe got back to the private room, there were more people beside Huo Chengxi. They seemed to be chatting about something.
Jian Xi looked over. This man looked a bit like Huo Chengxi. He gave off a gentle scholarly air, like a spring breeze. Very comfortable!
Seeing them return, Huo Chengxi scooted over. Jian Xi noticed his ears looked a bit red and asked, "Sixth Brother what happened to your ears? Why are they so red?"
Huo Chengxi glanced at Su Yinghe behind Jian Xi. She gave him a warning look. What else could it be? It was because he took her to a nightclub and got scolded by Fifth Sister!
"Oh, nothing. Just felt itchy so I scratched it." Huo Chengxi said shamelessly.
"Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Chu Chengran. Cousin, this is my junior martial sister, Jian Xi!" Huo Chengxi introduced without mentioning Su Yinghe, since everyone already knew each other.
Chu Chengran spoke politely, "Pleased to meet you Miss Jian. I've heard a lot about you from Chengxi."
Jian Xi smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Brother Chengran."
Chu Chengran nodded. "You all have fun. Put tonight's bill on me. I have to go now."
"Thanks Brother. We should get going too. It's late and we need to take Little Seven home." Huo Chengxi also stood up and said.
Chu Chengran didn't reply, just hmm'ed and turned to leave.
Su Yinghe pursed her red lips. As they walked out, she placed her purse on Jian Xi's back and said, "You two go wait outside. I'll be right there."
After saying that, she hiked up her skirt and followed the direction Chu Chengran had left.
Huo Chengxi and Jian Xi exchanged a glance. Huo Chengxi asked, "Why is Fifth Sister in such a hurry?"
Jian Xi shook her head.
They headed outside. Suddenly Jian Xi remembered something and stopped. She asked Huo Chengxi, "Sixth Brother, how old is Fifth Sister this year?"
"She's two years older than me, 23. What's up?"
Jian Xi's expression was complex as she glanced back and sighed, "Nothing. Let's go."
Huo Chengxi didn't ask more since Jian Xi didn't voluntarily tell them.
The two waited at the entrance for a while before Su Yinghe emerged from inside.
She looked a little downcast, but seeing Jian Xi and Huo Chengxi, she adjusted her mood in a second. "I'm here, let's go."
Jian Xi looped arms with her. "Hurry, hurry, finally some peace and quiet. I'm never coming to a place like this again, it's so noisy I could die!"
Huo Chengxi suddenly spoke up, "Don't you dare leak about me bringing you to a nightclub tonight, got it?"
Jian Xi now understood what kind of place a nightclub was. She zipped her lips to indicate she absolutely would not leak anything!
Huo Chengxi felt a little relieved but still uneasy.
Su Yinghe found it amusing. She reached out and pinched Jian Xi's cheek. "Little Seven, you're so adorable. How come you get so timid whenever He Qingchen is mentioned?"
Her words looped in Huo Chengxi as well, but only the last part!
Jian Xi touched her nose awkwardly. "What are you talking about? I'm not scared of him at all!"
"Hehe~" Huo Chengxi mocked from the side.
The three of them took Su Yinghe's car. Huo Chengxi had drank so his car was left at the Nightclub entrance.
Su Yinghe dropped Huo Chengxi off at the academy first, then Jian Xi.
She wanted to kidnap Jian Xi too, but thinking of He Qingchen's black face, she decided against it.
On the way, Jian Xi told Su Yinghe that Master had passed away. Su Yinghe didn't say anything for a long time as she processed the news.
After pulling over halfway, she got out of the car, lifting her skirt.
Jian Xi knew what she was doing and also got out to stand at the side.
There were still some pedestrians on the big road. They watched as an exquisite, charming woman emerged from a luxury car. Her temperament was even more outstanding than celebrities!
But the next second, the woman fell to her knees facing the direction of Xuantian Temple!
The asphalt road, the gravel... Su Yinghe heavily kowtowed three times towards Xuantian Temple and choked out, "Master, your disciple cannot send you off on your final journey. I'm unfilial. Rest assured I will take good care of Little Seven in the future!"
