Volume 3, Chapter 252 – She Feels So Wronged

Hearing these words, “Song Shixuan’s” face showed a trace of bewilderment.

His eyes flickered with some grievance.

He was also a child of an aristocratic family, so he naturally understood the usual circumstances of children from great families.

He also had a nanny, and his relationship with his nanny was very good.

So when he saw Chi Xiyan having a conflict with Nanny Qin Qingfen, he wanted to speak up and say a few words on Qin Qingfen’s behalf.

But now it seemed this was a wrong choice.

“I’m sorry, Xiyan,” he quickly said. “That’s not what I meant.”

Seeing his sincere expression, Chi Xiyan’s expression eased somewhat.

“Young Master Song, this is the Chi family’s inner residence. You and I haven’t formally married yet. For Young Master Song to continue staying here is somewhat improper.”

Hearing this, “Song Shixuan’s” expression froze slightly. He seemed not to have realized there was anything improper about his behavior.

Only after hearing Chi Xiyan’s reminder did he suddenly wake up to it.

“I was presumptuous and shouldn’t have casually entered this place.”

He smiled apologetically and looked at the girl in Chi Xiyan’s arms.

“I have some Song family heirloom pills with me.”

“As an apology, I’ll give them to Miss Muxue.”

While saying this, “Song Shixuan” took out a small bottle of pills from his storage space and handed it over.

Lu Zhuxin poked her head out from Chi Xiyan’s embrace and timidly looked at the handsome and elegant white-robed young man before her.

He was very tall with a slender physique, bright eyes, and sword-like brows. He fit the general impression of a sword cultivator very well.

But when facing the girl before him, those imposing brows and eyes could also fill with intoxicating tenderness.

That’s why in the original novel, so many heaven’s favored daughters fell for him under his charm.

The man before her looked exactly the same as the Song Shixuan in Lu Zhuxin’s memory.

Judging by appearance alone, it was almost impossible to distinguish whether he was real or fake.

If he didn’t completely fail to recognize Lu Zhuxin, Lu Zhuxin couldn’t be certain he was fake.

As for his aura, Lu Zhuxin had tried to sense it with her spiritual consciousness.

But on this man before her, there existed a magical treasure that concealed his aura.

Even Lu Zhuxin couldn’t accurately sense his aura.

Of course, relying on her Eighth Realm cultivation to forcibly probe was also possible.

But doing so would forcibly break open the concealment treasure on his body.

That way, she would be discovered.

Lu Zhuxin had no need to go that far.

However, she was also somewhat curious about who this man before her really was.

The current development had completely deviated from the original novel’s plot.

While Lu Zhuxin was observing “Song Shixuan,” “Song Shixuan” was also observing her.

When he saw this girl poke her head out and timidly look at him…

A flash of amazement couldn’t help but pass through his eyes.

Those watery large eyes seemed able to speak, sparkling and bright, clear and limpid.

Earlier at the ceremony, he had seen this girl dressed in ceremonial finery.

Beautiful was naturally beautiful, but those gorgeous and complicated clothes didn’t suit this girl’s temperament.

Now like this, in simple everyday clothes with light makeup, better brought out this girl’s youthfulness and purity.

The Chi family’s two legitimate daughters each possessed completely different styles, with equally exceptional appearances.

“A small token of my feelings to express my apology. Please accept it, Miss Chi.”

“Song Shixuan” smiled gently.

Lu Zhuxin looked at him hesitantly, hesitated for a moment, and slowly extended her hand.

Just as she was about to accept the pills “Song Shixuan” handed over, someone was faster than her.

Chi Xiyan pressed down Lu Zhuxin’s hand and pushed away the pills “Song Shixuan” offered for her.

“Thank you for Young Master Song’s kindness.” Chi Xiyan’s tone was flat.

“But the Song family’s secret pills are too precious.” Chi Xiyan said in an indifferent tone.

“Zhizhi… Muxue is just an ordinary mortal without cultivation. She has no use for such precious pills.”

“Xiyan is half a pharmacist myself. For such minor injuries, I can naturally treat my younger sister.”

Chi Xiyan was unwilling to accept this bottle of pills. “Song Shixuan’s” eyes showed some regret.

However, after hearing that Chi Muxue had never cultivated, his eyes lit up, and he continued to propose to Chi Xiyan, “Miss Muxue hasn’t yet begun cultivation training. I wonder if the young lady has any thoughts of entering a sect and taking a master.”

“I am untalented but know many sect elders. If Miss Muxue is interested, I can make introductions for the young lady.”

“Young Master Song…” Chi Xiyan’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. “Though the Chi family is a small household, we still have some standing in Beihe Commandery.”

“If Xue’er truly has intentions of stepping onto the immortal path, we wouldn’t need to trouble the Song family’s connections.”

“Song Shixuan” heard the displeasure in Chi Xiyan’s words.

He felt both wronged and confused.

He sincerely wanted to apologize and was earnestly trying to help.

But why was Chi Xiyan angry?

Everything had been fine just a moment ago. Why did such a big change suddenly occur?

Did he say something wrong again?

Lu Zhuxin saw all of this and found it somewhat amusing.

This “Song Shixuan” before her was too different from that Heaven-Mandated Male Lead.

That one was a seasoned veteran of the romantic path with an impressive package and beauties everywhere.

But this one before her was naive and innocent, just like a sheltered young lady from a wealthy family who knew nothing of the world.

Wait… could it be…

Lu Zhuxin’s eyes flashed as she suddenly thought of something.

She spoke up, “Sister… please don’t say that. Young Master Song also has good intentions.”

“Moreover, Young Master Song is Sister’s fiancé. Muxue doesn’t want Sister to be angry with Young Master Song because of me.”

Lu Zhuxin took small steps and slowly walked to “Song Shixuan’s” front.

“Young Master Song, can you give these pills to Muxue?”

“Song Shixuan” looked at the girl gracefully approaching before him. Getting closer, he was even more shocked by this girl’s beauty.

Moreover, he seemed to faintly smell a light, delicate fragrance.

Elegant and tranquil.

Like green bamboo in the forest after rain. Though light, it had a refreshing quality that penetrated the heart.

What a fragrant person.

And so close.

“Song Shixuan” suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.

Lu Zhuxin saw all of this “Song Shixuan’s” expressions.

Now she could confirm the second thing.

This naive “Song Shixuan” before her—he wasn’t a sword cultivator.

And Lu Zhuxin still wanted to confirm a second thing.

“May I? Young Master Song…” Lu Zhuxin called softly.

Chi Xiyan watched Lu Zhuxin’s behavior from behind, her heart full of confusion.

Yu Lizhi, her younger sister—what was she doing?

Why did she want to accept the pills that she had refused? The Chi family wasn’t lacking in pills!

Moreover, Song Shixuan was her fiancé.

“Zhizhi.” Chi Xiyan spoke up, preparing to stop Lu Zhuxin.

However, just at this moment, everyone present heard a creaking sound.

The mortal girl without cultivation had suddenly stepped on a broken piece of wood.

She lost her balance and toppled forward.

With both hands extended, she pressed toward the “Song Shixuan” before her.
