Huang Xiaojun hated Leng Xuan to death. He had been pursuing Zhou Li for two years and never expected that in the end, Leng Xuan would swoop in and ruin everything. Moreover, he had faced several embarrassing monts at school, all thanks to this kid Leng Xuan. Therefore, if Leng Xuan could just disappear from this world, nobody would dare stand in his way when it ca to wooing Zhou Li. He glanced at Xu Renjie and said, "To be honest, if the assassin Tang Mo talked about can do the job cleanly and neatly, I wouldn’t mind Leng Xuan disappearing. It’s just this two million yuan..."
With a pained expression, Xu Renjie gritted his teeth and said, "How about we each pay half?"
Huang Xiaojun said sowhat hesitantly, "Half each is fine, but where am I supposed to co up with that much money so quickly? If I ask my family for it, and they ask for a reason, I wouldn’t know what to tell them. How about this, let’s agree on this for now and discuss further once we each have collected one million, what do you think?"
Xu Renjie nodded and said, "Okay, then it’s settled."
"..."
In Sanlian Village, Zhou Jingpeng had sent a ssage to Leng Xuan in the morning, telling him to co directly for lunch. So, by the ti Leng Xuan arrived, he had already prepared the al. However, Zhou Li wasn’t there because she usually rested at school at noon to gather energy for the afternoon classes.
During the al, Zhou Jingpeng suddenly asked with a smile, "What’s going on with you and my sister? Did you two lovebirds have a fight?"
"Eh?" Leng Xuan was taken aback. When had he and Zhou Li ever beco a couple? Although he wished for it, wasn’t Zhou Li waiting until college before agreeing to date him? He gave a wry smile and said, "You’re not being very serious as her brother, are you? What lovebirds..."
Before Leng Xuan could finish, Zhou Jingpeng interrupted, "What, you don’t like her?"
Leng Xuan coughed, feeling a bit embarrassed to say it in front of Zhou Jingpeng, he said, "Okay, stop gossiping. Instead, tell why you think your sister and I had a quarrel?"
Zhou Jingpeng shook his head, looking sowhat helpless as he said, "When she ca ho last night, she seed unhappy. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn’t talk. Later, when I asked if she’d had a falling out with you, her reaction seed a bit extre, telling not to ntion you to her again. So I figured maybe you two had an argunt!"
Leng Xuan paused, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. He didn’t quite understand the matters of a girl’s heart sotis. He gave a bitter smile and didn’t dwell further on the topic, saying, "Hurry up and eat. I thought of an even better way to treat your leg yesterday. From now on, you won’t need dication, nor will it take as long as half a month to fully recover."
"Really?" Zhou Jingpeng was still upset about his sister’s issue with Leng Xuan, but upon hearing this great news from Leng Xuan, he imdiately beca excited and said,
"What’s the thod?"
Leng Xuan hesitated. Though Zhou Jingpeng knew so things about him, it wasn’t much, and he had promised Uncle Da Zhang to keep the secret of him being a cultivator from others.
Zhou Jingpeng quickly picked up on the cues and imdiately understood he had asked about sothing he shouldn’t have. He smiled and said, "Alright, you don’t have to tell . As long as you can cure my leg, that’s all that matters."
Leng Xuan smiled and then fell silent.
