587 – Planned for Others; Incited Someone (3)
Liu Danhang looked very embarrassed. At this moment, he wasn’t sure whether he should stay or go. He stood there and let the Old Madam looked him up and down but he really wanted to run away.
Pulling over the person next to her, Fang Shuyun smiled lightly, patted her on her little hand, and asked, “Where have you gone for fun?”
“We didn’t really go anywhere. Xiao Hui wanted to play with shi xiong Liu. I just went along to keep them company was all.”
“OH–”
Fang Shuyun smiled, looked over at Liu Danhang, and said, “Danhang, you need to breakthrough on your cultivation soon. How else can you protect our Huihui? You responsibilities are great. Do not disappoint Huihui!”
Xiao Lihui’s eyes widened right away and he asked with curiosity. “Grand Aunty, does that mean Big Brother Hang will be with us all the time from now on?”
“Oh, you will need to ask your Big Brother Hang and see if he will be with you all the time.”
Fang Shuyun replied with a smile. She studied the man in front of her with her very observant eyes. She saw a bit of a struggle in his eyes. Was he…
“Grand Aunty, I am sure Big Brother Hang will want to be with us. Big Brother Hang has always been so nice to us!”
Little Lihui smiled, turned his head, held the hand of the one standing next to him, and said with anticipation. “Isn’t that right, Big Brother Hang?”
“Yes, yes…” Meeting the look for the little child, Liu Danhang’s smile seemed a little forced, but he nodded anyway.
Cheng Huihui’s white cheeks turned a rosy color. With her eyes lowered, she did not catch the look on Liu Danhang’s face but only heard his response.
Fang Shuyun Old Madam Cheng did not miss the happy look on her. Fang Shuyun sighed to herself and her eyes lit up.
Two hours later.
Fang Shuyun Old Madam Cheng was surveilling inside the bamboo forest when she happened to run into the cultivating Liu Danhang. “Follow me!” She said to him.
“Yes, Ma’am!” Liu Danhang was a bit surprised but followed her out nonetheless.
The two of them walked outside of the bamboo forest quickly. All of the other disciples stopped cultivating and was very curious what was going on with Liu Danhang. Why was the Old Madam looking for him?
Regardless of what the disciples were speculating about, Liu Danhang, followed behind the old madam, was somewhat anxious himself.
“Liu Danhang, I know about you. You were once fond of Xiao Xiao, right?”
Old Madam Chang stopped when she reached the pond. She started talking to him as she looked at the green lotus leaves inside the lotus pond.
When Liu Danhang heard the name, he shuddered. Even though he didn’t respond to her question, Old Madam Cheng seemed to have seen his reaction even though she wasn’t looking at him.
The corners of his mouth rose a little. Her tone neither too harsh nor too casual. “Do you still have feelings for Xiao Xiao? You should understand that Xiao Xiao has no feelings for you. Right now, she only has eyes for the child Mo Xuanzun. Plus, they are both fond of each other. And you, you don’t stand a chance at all. Do you really want to keep on waiting?”
“……” His eyes drooped. Liu Danhang’s hands forced into fists reflexively.
Old Madam Cheng, standing in front of him, slowly turned around. She saw the somewhat stubborn big boy and couldn’t help but smiled. “Huihui is a good girl. Do you know that she is fond of you?”
“……”
Liu Danhang looked up slowly and saw the old lady’s smiling face. A hint of gloominess flashed through his eyes and he nodded, “Yes, Old Madam. I know.”
“What are your intentions?”
“Old Madam, I do not have any intentions.”
“Do you plan to stay in Sacred Land Zhongyuan for life?”
“Yes, Old Madam. I do plan on staying here for life. I will never leave.”
Looking at him, Old Madam Cheng could see what was called stubbornness and a kind of love that would never change with time. If her eldest granddaughter ever run into any kind of danger, he would not hesitate to trade her life with his.
