When system cheat becomes rampant!

Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

Xiang Beifei sized up Xi Wenxuan's "Composed System." This person's system would grant him increased system values as long as he maintained a calm attitude while doing something, or if someone around him handled a matter with composure.

[You conversed with Xiang Beifei in a composed manner, composure value +89]

[Xiang Beifei greeted you calmly, composure value +91]

This system was somewhat interesting.

Because composure could be seen in many aspects, even an ant or a bird passing by him calmly could increase his system values.

They squeezed through the crowd and returned to the street, where Xi Wenxuan waved his hand and a rich Spiritual Power enveloped the three of them, shrouding them from view. He knew Xiang Beifei's situation and didn't want any complications, and the pedestrians by the roadside did not see Xiang Beifei either.

The three walked straight into a hotel off the street, took the elevator to room 901, opened the door, and signaled for Xiang Beifei and Xi Keyao to enter.

Bang!

He closed the door behind them.

The sound was loud!

"Good."

Xi Wenxuan turned around and looked at the two people in the room, repeating the word seriously.

Xiang Beifei looked at Xi Keyao inquiringly, and Xi Keyao's eyes were somewhat evasive.

"Sit."

Xi Wenxuan pointed to a chair in the hotel, his tone carrying a hint of command.

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, then found a spot and sat down. Xi Keyao was not so obedient. She said, "Dad, we're not criminals."

"Sit," Xi Wenxuan said again.

"Dad, classmate Xiang Beifei doesn't know about this."

"You've said that."

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

"I told you to sit."

"No, I won't sit!"

Xi Keyao seemed to gather her courage and said, "At home, I always listen to you because you always like to make decisions for others, but... but this time, this matter, I want to decide for myself."

"Got your feathers ruffled."

"I've grown up!"

"Then get out."

"I won't."

"Then stand," Xi Wenxuan said.

Xi Keyao huffed and sat down abruptly, saying, "Then I insist on sitting."

Xiang Beifei: "..."

The little girl was still too naive!

Xi Wenxuan glanced indifferently at his daughter, his expression still as unruffled as ever.

[You dealt with your daughter's act of rebellion calmly, composure value +37]

He looked towards Xiang Beifei.

"Good."

He repeated the word for the third time.

The atmosphere was a bit odd; Xi Keyao seemed determined to oppose her father while Xi Wenxuan, following that, did not speak but just looked at Xiang Beifei, as if scrutinizing the boy.

Xiang Beifei had thick skin and just let him look.

"Good."

Xi Wenxuan made his remark once more.

Xiang Beifei: "..."

But he was also calm, since the other party wasn't speaking, he didn't bother asking, not knowing where to start finding a topic for conversation.

[Xiang Beifei sat across from you calmly, composure value +92]

"Xiao Ya told me about you," Xi Wenxuan spoke indifferently.

After a pause, he added, "Everything."

Xiang Beifei said, "We were teammates in an expedition team last time, trained together in the wilds outside the domain, and also during the freshmen competition…"

"Every move you make, every phrase you like to say, and what you enjoy eating the most."

Xi Wenxuan seemed not to listen to what Xiang Beifei was saying, just continuing with his own words.

[You finished speaking calmly, composure value +27]

Xiang Beifei wisely stopped and let him finish.

But Xi Wenxuan, after saying this, stopped as well and continued to size up Xiang Beifei without saying anything more.

The atmosphere fell into silence again.

Xi Keyao felt a bit awkward and said in a low voice, "Classmate Xiang Beifei, don't mind him, he's a bit strange."

Xiang Beifei said, "It's fine, I'm not…"

"So, what are your plans regarding Xi Keyao?" Xi Wenxuan interrupted Xiang Beifei's words again.

"Plans?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Dad, I've told you before, he's forgotten. It was such a trivial matter, and it wasn't any serious agreement. I wouldn't even remember if you didn't bring it up," Xi Keyao muttered.

"Whether or not it's considered serious is not for you to decide,"

Xi Wenxuan said coldly.

He looked towards Xiang Beifei and asked, "You've forgotten?"

"Forgotten what? Can you please explain directly?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"The marriage arrangement. You and my daughter have a marriage arrangement," Xi Wenxuan said.

Xiang Beifei's eyes widened as he turned to look at Xi Keyao.

Xi Keyao blushed and stammered.

"What's going on here?" he asked, puzzled.

"It was many years ago, your forgetting is understandable. What your father and I said over drinks could have been dismissed as idle talk, and if you weren't willing, we could have discussed it with your father. But your father is no longer with us, and if I unilaterally annul the marriage arrangement, it would seem like I'm bullying, so you need to give a response,"

Xi Wenxuan stated forthrightly.

Xiang Beifei looked at Xi Keyao in surprise, then back at Xi Wenxuan; he suddenly had a fiancée thrust upon him out of nowhere?

What direction was this going to take from here?

Xi Keyao's face turned red again, and she said softly, "Xiang Beifei, you don't need to answer him, that's just some drunken promise they made, it's really not necessary."

"Xiao Ya, step outside," Xi Wenxuan said.

"No!" Xi Keyao protested anxiously.

"I want to have a man-to-man conversation with Xiang Beifei."

Xi Wenxuan's gaze was stern as he looked at Xiang Beifei.

"You can't fight!" Xi Keyao exclaimed in urgency.

"Men's matters should be settled among men," Xi Wenxuan continued.

"I object."

"A woman's objection is invalid to men's affairs."

"If you say that, I'll go tell Mom…"

With a flick of his hand, Xi Wenxuan suddenly summoned Spiritual Power that wrapped around Xi Keyao, and before she could react, she was locked out of the hotel room.

No matter how much Xi Keyao pounded on the door, it was futile.

Soon, only Xi Wenxuan and Xiang Beifei were left in the room.

[You unflappably chased your daughter away, composure value +39]

Xiang Beifei: "..."

"So, you didn't know about the marriage arrangement before?"

"I didn't."

"Well, now you know," Xi Wenxuan said with a penetrating gaze.

"Yes," Xiang Beifei replied helplessly.

"When shall we hold the wedding?"

Xiang Beifei: "???"

"Are you thinking of breaking the arrangement?"

A formidable aura surged from Xi Wenxuan.

Xiang Beifei's eyes widened!

What's with this eagerness to marry off his daughter?

I've only just heard the news; can't you give me a few minutes to consider?

"My daughter can't seem to be married off, you need to take responsibility," Xi Wenxuan stated.

"Ah? Is that so?"

"At home, while having breakfast, she was telling me how Xiang Beifei defeated a Divine Fire Frog. When she saw me wearing a shirt, she remarked that the buttons on Xiang Beifei's shirt are the same shape as mine. During lunch when we had carp, she told me how Xiang Beifei defeated the desolate beast Luo Yu. I told her Luo Yu and carp are two different things; she said the fish and 'Yu' sound the same. She's got you on her mind; how could she marry someone else!"

Xi Wenxuan's gaze was firmly fixed on Xiang Beifei, as if all of this were Xiang Beifei's fault.

Xiang Beifei looked at Xi Wenxuan in astonishment: "There's such a story?"

"She's no longer my little sweetheart; I'm quite hurt,"

Xi Wenxuan's tone was very cold.

[You coolly expressed your feelings, composure value +26]

Xiang Beifei: "..."

Uncle, do we have to be so blunt?

Besides, if you're hurt, shouldn't you sound more melancholic?

Why so cold!
