I Am the Source of Darkness, Causing Chaos in the Eternal Heavens

Chapter 44 A Hypocritical Villain, Three Matters (1)

After returning to the Qingxu Sacred Place’s Stone Gambling House, Xiao Yan briefly explained Xiao Ling’s background to Xiao Hongdou and then handed Xiao Ling over to her.

At that time, Xiao Ling’s arm had been pierced by an arrow and was poisoned. If it wasn’t treated in time, it could cause big trouble.

Upon hearing Xiao Ling’s background, Xiao Hongdou was very surprised. Xiao Yan had gone out once and came back as a hero saving a beauty, bringing a girl back.

However, she didn’t ask further about what Xiao Yan went to do.

After all, according to their master, Qing Xuzi, today’s Xiao Yan was different from the past Xiao Yan. He had his own mind and thoughts.

Xiao Hongdou felt more pity towards Xiao Ling and quickly fetched many herbs and bandages to treat her.

She didn’t doubt Xiao Yan’s words or Xiao Ling’s background at all.

Because from what Xiao Yan said, if it wasn’t for Xiao Ling suddenly pushing him away, Xiao Yan would have been the one hit by the arrow.

A kind-hearted girl like this is very rare.

Both emotionally and logically, she would help Xiao Ling with the bandaging.

Of course, on the way, Xiao Yan had already told Xiao Ling not to reveal her strength.

Xiao Ling gladly agreed.

“Just rest assured and stay here for the next few days. Your enemies shouldn’t be able to find this place,” Xiao Hongdou promised Xiao Ling seriously. “Even if they do find this place, they wouldn’t dare to harm you.”

After all, in recent times, almost all of Nanque Sacred City knew that Qingxu Sacred Place was under the protection of Young Master Jiang.

Anyone causing trouble here would be openly offending Young Master Jiang.

“Thank you, Sister Hongdou.” Xiao Ling expressed her gratitude, then her expression darkened slightly. “I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”

“It’s nothing, just a small matter.” Xiao Hongdou patted her hand, comforting her softly, feeling even more pity.

In her eyes, Xiao Ling was just like her, a pitiful person who had lost her parents at a young age and had to wander around taking dangerous tasks.

The night passed without any words.

The next day, to Xiao Hongdou’s surprise, she was stunned on the spot.

She never expected Jiang Minghan to appear outside the Stone Gambling House.

Seeing the extraordinary young man in front of her, Xiao Hongdou couldn’t hide her joy and smiled, brightening the surroundings.

“Young Master Jiang, what brings you here today?” she quickly asked, welcoming Jiang Minghan inside.

The noise at the door also caught the attention of Xiao Yan, who was practicing boxing in the courtyard.

He looked over, his face immediately darkening, looking ugly. He took a deep breath to calm down.

“So that’s the rumored Young Master of the Hidden Immortal Clan? With such an aura, he truly doesn’t seem like a mortal…” A voice of surprise nearby made Xiao Yan’s expression change, and he snorted coldly.

Xiao Ling, who had been bandaged, looked much better, her face now showing a healthy glow.

Her thin, clean face was filled with surprise and curiosity as she looked outside the courtyard.

Seeing Xiao Yan seemed unhappy, she quickly withdrew her gaze, looking a bit flustered.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan originally wanted to scold her a bit, but he held back and said lightly, “He’s nothing but a hypocrite. No matter how perfect he looks on the surface, it can’t hide his vicious and hypocritical nature…”

Thinking of the loss of that Stone Spirit Treasure Robe at the street stall yesterday made his heart bleed.

His hatred for Jiang Minghan grew even more.

Moreover, Jiang Minghan’s follower had humiliated him in front of everyone and even injured him.

Xiao Yan remembered this hatred and humiliation well.

“If even Young Master Xiao says so, there must be a reason,” Xiao Ling thought for a moment and then nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yan’s words. “It seems that Young Master Jiang is quite different from the rumors…”

“You think so too?” Xiao Yan was taken aback and asked.

He had thought Xiao Ling would react like his senior sister and refute him.

He expected Xiao Ling, like other ordinary girls, to admire Jiang Minghan, seeing him as perfect and unblemished, like a noble gentleman.

But unexpectedly, she thought his words made sense and had a reason.

At this moment, Xiao Yan felt quite a bit of goodwill towards Xiao Ling, thinking it was worth saving her last night.

She was indeed different from ordinary girls.

“If someone as kind as Young Master Xiao says so, there must be a reason. Xiao Ling has never met Young Master Jiang, but she knows Young Master Xiao’s character,” Xiao Ling thought for a moment and said sincerely, her thin, charming face showing utmost sincerity.

“Heh, I didn’t expect you to think of me like this…” Xiao Yan rarely smiled, finding Xiao Ling even more pleasing and attractive, with a thought of making her his servant girl.

At this time, at the entrance of Qingxu Sacred Place’s Stone Gambling House.

Jiang Minghan looked at the extremely joyful Xiao Hongdou and followed her inside.

His followers also followed, not staying outside.

With his usual gentle smile, he said, “Actually, I came here today for three things.”

“First, to visit Miss Hongdou. Second, to apologize to Miss Hongdou’s junior brother for yesterday’s incident. And third, to discuss something with Elder Qingxu.”

The first two matters were incidental; the third was Jiang Minghan’s main focus.

“Elder Qingxu, I apologize for the disturbance,” Jiang Minghan said, calling out a tall man in black armor behind him. This man, who injured Xiao Yan yesterday, stepped forward.

“Please forgive me, Master. I hope Miss Hongdou can forgive me too,” Tian Mingzi said with a face of guilt, cupping his hands. “Yesterday, I saw a small item in the market and had a conflict with Miss Hongdou’s junior brother. At that time, I didn’t realize it was him, so I injured him…”
