“Oh no, the kid knows how to counter us!”
“So, what do we do now?” “Strategically retreat for now, then find a chance to ambush him.”
“As the eldest brother says!”
“Retreat!”
Instantly, their bandages fluttered wildly about them, and then they disappeared, as if they had never been there in the first place.
In haste they came, in haste they left. That’s how these three brothers operated.
Jiang Xiaobai felt like he was in a dream. Why were these three brothers so bizarre?
Is it really true that if they can beat you, they’ll pound you to a pulp, but if they can’t, they’ll just run away?
And it looked like the three brothers’ main attack method depended entirely on the black bandages around their bodies. Their collective strength was great when they teamed up, and in Jiang Xiaobai’s opinion, they were much stronger than when two people joined forces.
But these three guys vanished in an instant, leaving no clue. Even if Jiang Xiaobai wanted to capture them, he had no way of doing it. It all left him a bit headache.
After the three disappeared, Jiang Xiaobai did not leave, but went on to clean up the battlefield.
All the black-clothed people who came to surround him had been destroyed. Only Zi Yi managed to escape, but the storage rings on these men were still here.
As the saying goes, it’s stupid not to take advantage of what’s given.
There was no reason for him to refuse the perks delivered to his doorstep.
Once all the storage rings were collected, Jiang Xiaobai made a quick escape and soon appeared not far from the edge of the Dragon Valley. After cleaning himself up and getting rid of the bloody smell, he walked towards the entrance of the Dragon Valley.
The gatekeeper of the Dragon Valley, upon seeing it was Jiang Xiaobai, came up to him:
“Son-in-law, where on earth did you go? You’ve been gone for days and the princess is furious!”
“Exactly, son-in-law, you better hurry inside. Otherwise, the princess is going to tear us apart.”
Both men, upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai, began talking incessantly, almost as if they wanted to kneel down to him.
Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat stunned for a moment, puzzled as to why Ao Yan would be furious?
Even though he couldn’t figure it out, he knew that if he didn’t go into the Dragon Valley right now, he might be smacked to death by Ao Yan.
Immediately, he walked into the Dragon Valley. But, he didn’t rush back to his small courtyard right away. Instead, he sneakily ran to the Third Elder.
“You kid, you’ve been gone for seven or eight days. Where have you been?” The Third Elder glared at Jiang Xiaobai in displeasure. But as she was about to scold him further, she suddenly widened her eyes.
She found that Jiang Xiaobai had actually reached the middle stage of Qi refining!
“You’ve already broken through?” The Third Elder’s eyes were as wide as a cow’s.
“Hehe, I accidentally seem to have broken through.”
Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head, looking somewhat helpless, which irritated the Third Elder. She had never seen anyone with such strong talents for cultivation.
It had only been a few days?
“Elder, what’s been happening in the Dragon Valley these past few days? I heard that Ao Yan seems to be angry.” Jiang Xiaobai had a pot of good wine in his hand, which he handed to the Third Elder with a grin.
Seeing the fine wine, the Third Elder gave a cold hum and took the jug: “You’re still in the mood to talk? When you visited me last time, I thought you’d informed Ao Yan as well. But then you suddenly disappeared and nobody knew where you’d gone. Ao Yan thought something had happened to you.”
“I see.” Jiang Xiaobai was even more confused.
Listening to the Third Elder, it seemed that Ao Yan thought something had happened to him, and it seemed that there was a hint of worry in it?
But this shouldn’t be the case. Although Jiang Xiaobai was Ao Yan’s son-in-law, the relationship between Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Yan was not like
that ot a husband and wife, but somewhat like a superior-subordinate relationship.
Logically, Ao Yan should be indifferent to his fate, so why would she be angry about this?
Without realizing it, Jiang Xiaobai felt warmth in his heart. It seemed that Ao Yan really did care for him.
“Get back quickly. A couple’s quarrels are a commonplace. The bed-end quarrel can be settled at the bedhead. There’s nothing to fuss about. Don’t throw tantrums and run away as soon as you quarrel.” The Third Elder took a swig of the wine and said casually.
His words nearly choked Jiang Xiaobai to death.
“Ahem, Elder, it’s not what you think.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed awkwardly, then said no more. After playing with LingEr a bit, he walked out.
But no sooner had he left than he ran into Ao Cheng who was coming towards him.
“You’re great, Jiang Xiaobai. Where the hell did you disappear to these few days and end up upsetting my sister like this!”
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai, Ao Cheng was furious. He immediately came up to grab Jiang Xiaobai by the collar and started dragging him outside.
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai notice that Ao Cheng’s face was bruised and he was limping as he walked, as if he had been beaten.
“What are you looking at? You still have the nerve to look! If it wasn’t for you sneaking out, would I have been punished by my sister?”
Ao Cheng was furious: “It’s all because of you. Now my sis thinks I have led you astray. Damn it, even if you go out, at least leave a message?”
Jiang Xiaobai dared not say a word in response, but simply followed Ao Cheng back to the small courtyard.
Standing at the entrance to the courtyard, Jiang Xiaobai could feel a chilling aura wafting from inside. It seemed as if there was a ferocious beast inside the courtyard, and the moment he entered, he was sure to be dead.
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt chills. He dared not go in.
“What are you standing there for, will you go in already?” Ao Cheng grumbled, then turned to the courtyard and shouted, “Sis, I’ve brought Jiang Xiaobai back. The first thing this bastard does when he gets back is not find you but goes to the Third Elder.”
There was no sound from inside the courtyard, but Jiang Xiaobai could clearly feel the surrounding temperature dropping precipitously.
Ao Cheng shrank his neck and without uttering a word, turned and ran. He was only too familiar with the scene. Every time Ao Yan was about to beat him up, it was like this.
At this point, Jiang Xiaobai knew that he had no choice. With a sheepish grin on his face, he slowly pushed the door open and went in.
Upon entering the courtyard, he saw Ao Yan sitting on a chair, drinking tea with a calm expression. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she did not look at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Haha, well, I had to leave rather abruptly before, and you weren’t here, so I didn’t have time to tell you.” Jiang Xiaobai spoke directly, displaying a very sincere apology.
Although he didn’t have any experience with women in his past life, there’s a saying that one doesn’t have to eat a pig to know that it’s fat, isn’t there? Why not just emulate how the leading male characters in TV shows treat their leading ladies?
Firstly, be sincere. Secondly, prioritise Ao Yan. And most importantly of all, admit that it’s all your fault!
“I was wrong.” Jiang Xiaobai said directly to Ao Yan.
Upon hearing this, the calm expression on Ao Yan’s face seemed to soften.. She slowly looked up at Jiang Xiaobai: “You were wrong? Why do you say so? Or rather, where did you go wrong?”
