Chapter 31: Li Rans Shadow!

This was an annual gathering, where all the great clans of Wuyang City gathered.

Xiao Qingge was once again an influential figure. For a moment, all eyes turned to her.

There were sighs, banter, greed, and coveting gazes

Once upon a time, she was a fairy of exceptional beauty and hope. Now that this immortal fortune had been completely lost and fallen into the mortal world, it naturally attracted many peoples attention.

Xiao Qingge? I did not expect that you would really come. A young man with a vain expression stood in front of her with a playful smile on his face.

It was Li Sheng, Li Rans cousin. A superior-grade talent, and an Inner Sect Disciple.

Although the Supreme Dao Palace had already released the news, your Xiao family had never come forward to admit it. Now that youve come to the Immortal Ascension Conference, arent you announcing to the world that you, Xiao Qingge, are crippled? Li Sheng emphasized the word cripple, making sure that everyone could hear it.

Xiao Qingge was expressionless as she turned to leave.

Are you mad? Still acting cold? I thought that you were the Fairy Qing? A trace of displeasure flashed through Li Shengs eyes as he reached out and grabbed her arm.

Xiao Qingge frowned.

Pain!

This grip almost crushed her bones. The strength of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator wasnt something a mere mortal could bear.

On the other hand, the disciples of the Xiao family turned a blind eye to this. They all looked elsewhere as if they did not know her.

Her family was in this state. They were totally cold towards her, anyone could see it!

Li Sheng couldnt help but feel even more proud.

Losing cultivation and being expelled by the sect Not to mention, your Xiao family actually wants to marry into my Li family?

You dont even have an old ancestor to watch over your family, yet you wanted to marry into my Li family? What a joke!

As far as I know, the matter of marriage annulment has come to an end. You better think about what other uses you have left!

Xiao Qingge said coldly, Let go.

Aiyo, Im so scared! Li Sheng sized her up and smiled wickedly. Look at how pretty you are. Why dont you be my human cauldron*? Ill keep you safe!

Do you think you deserve me?

What did you say?! Li Sheng suspected that he had misheard.

Xiao Qingge raised her head and coldly stared at him. As long as the engagement isnt annulled, I am Li Rans fiance! Have you considered the consequences?

Li Ran? When Li Sheng heard this name, his body couldnt help but tremble. A trace of fear flashed across his eyes.

You, who are you scaring

Let go.

Li Sheng looked at her with calm eyes, and he suddenly felt a little shocked. He involuntarily released his grip on her.

Thats right, I lost my cultivation and became a mortal. Thats right! Then, she turned around and left.

Li Sheng panted heavily, his face turning red and white, veins popping out on his forehead.

These words deeply pierced into his weakness. Under Li Rans shadow, he would never be able to lift his head!

Xiao Qingge, when the Li family annuls the engagement, I will definitely make you pay the price! His eyes were filled with ferocity.

Xiao Qingge returned home and locked herself in her room. Her entire body seemed to have been emptied out in an instant. She sat on the chair feebly, her eyes filled with confusion.

No matter how strong she was, she was only a teenage girl. The sudden fall from the clouds to hell wasnt something she could bear.

Thump thump thump.

Someone was knocking at the door.

She restrained her expression and stood up to open the door.

Outside the door stood a burly man. It was the head of the Xiao family, her biological father, Xiao Nian.

Qingge.

Father. Xiao Qingge lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Xiao Nian sighed helplessly. Go on and tell me.

Xiao Nian set up a soundproof formation and then said aloud, Qingge, you shouldnt have gone to the Immortal Ascension Conference. This will only make things worse.

Xiao Qingge shook her head and said, The Supreme Dao Palace has already released this news. This matter can not be hidden And I want to try again

I understand. Xiao Nian sighed and said, Ever since the death of the old ancestor, the Xiao family is like a candle in the wind. There are tigers and wolves in Wuyang City. Im only worried that I cant protect you!

This daughters incompetence has made father worry. Xiao Qingge whispered.

If we can get the support of the Li family, everything will turn around. Unfortunately Xiao Nian shook his head.

With Xiao familys current state, it was almost certain that the marriage would be annulled.

Qingge, is it really impossible for you and Li Ran? Xiao Nian could not help but ask.

Li Ran? Xiao Qingges eyes were confused. The appearance of a young boy flashed through her mind.

Playmates from childhood, agreements under the tree, parents orders, words of matchmaker

She had been willing!

Its impossible. Xiao Qingge bit her lip. Li Ran is the Sheng Zi of Youluo Temple. The sect prohibits marriage. Even if he doesnt annul the marriage, the marriage still could not proceed.

Sigh

Xiao Nians heart was filled with helplessness.

Li Ran was the only solution that could turn around their situation. Only if he stepped forward could Xiao Qingge be completely protected.

With Xiao Qingges personality, she would rather swallow a broken tooth*. How could she be willing to go beg him at this time?
