The man named Luo Jun looked between him and Qiao Fenyi, his expression a mix of anger and jealousy, and yet that sense of anxiety was still present on his face.
What the fuck is wrong with this guy?
Just as his confusion reached its peak, Qiao Fenyi—who had been mostly shocked by his sudden movements—took a step away from him and, with a face filled with anger, suddenly spoke in a rage filled voice.
"Luo Jun! How many times have I told you that you and I no longer have anything to do with one another? Do you think this is some kind of game?"
All of a sudden, Huang Shi's confusion shifted into shock. He stared at the situation with his mouth agape, his brain working overtime to try and understand what was going on.
Wait a minute… are these guys like ex-lovers? Did this guy have a relationship with Fenyi previously and they broke up?
Is that why this Luo Jun guy looked so anxious? Because he wasn't sure whether or not Fenyi would still accept him?
His heart suddenly felt heavy as a sinking feeling of jealousy erupted from within him; yet, despite this, he still tried to keep his thoughts clear and calm.
Regardless of the situation between them, it's better for me to ask. Once I have all the information that I need, then maybe I'll make a decision on what to do.
Luo Jun—who had just been smashed onto his butt and was now being screamed at by Qiao Fenyi—suddenly paled. He tried his best to change his expression into an amiable one while he forced his voice to turn soft.
"Fenyi, our engagement was something that was decided by both of our sects. We've always known that even if there are ups and downs in our relationship, we would still end up together in the end, isn't that right?"
Qiao Fenyi shook her head decisively, her face still marred with that same look of anger, as she tried her best to keep her voice calm.
"That might have been true before, Luo Jun, but did you think after all the lies and betrayals you did, I would still give you a chance? Do you think I'm some kind of idiot?"
Luo Jun's shoulders trembled as he stood up on his feet and tried to approach Qiao Fenyi, once again ignoring Huang Shi's presence and acting like he wasn't even there.
"Fenyi, all things can be negotiated when it comes to us; don't you know that by now? Even if I did some things wrong to you, I can make up for it when the time comes, so just talk to me, alright?"
Qiao Fenyi's body shook; this time, her expression looked both conflicted and sad, as this person's sweet words seemed to have some sort of effect on her.
Huang Shi, who had been silently watching this spectacle in the background, subtly raised his brows as his expression furrowed.
Is this woman the kind of girl who is weak to things related to love? She seems so gullible!
Seeing that his words clearly started to have some effect, Luo Jun's face suddenly shifted from one of anxiety to one of smugness, as he knew that he had hooked her.
Just as Qiao Fenyi's heart was thrown into disarray because of the words and actions of this Luo Jun, Huang Shi—who had long since grown bored of this entire spectacle—suddenly coughed, indicating that he was still there.
Suddenly, both Qiao Fenyi and Luo Jun seemed to once again notice his presence. Luo Jun's brows furrowed, his face shifting to one of anger as he barked:
"What the hell is an outsider like you still doing here? Why don't you scram before I fucking break your bones!"
Qiao Fenyi, on the other hand, didn't share his harsh words. She instantly walked back toward him, her face looking sad and apologetic. She dropped her head, her eyes staring at the ground as she whispered silently:
"Sorry for the mess… I-I think you should go for now, or else you might get hurt. Even if you are stronger now, Luo Jun is on a whole other level…"
Huang Shi stared straight at her figure, seeing her sad and miserable appearance, his face now looking indifferent.
"Until now, I still don't know who the fuck this guy is or why he is acting so arrogant in our Azure Dragon Sect. So tell me... and tell me honestly... if you want me to leave, then look me in the eyes and say so. Because if you don't, I will beat this guy half to death…"
Qiao Fenyi once again shivered, her expression looking sad and forlorn as she spoke in a whimper.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me… I-I don't think it's a good idea for you to pursue me. I'm pretty sure you're gonna meet other girls in the future who will have far less baggage than I do…"
Luo Jun, who had previously been looking at this scene in anger, suddenly smirked and laughed out loud. He walked straight towards Qiao Fenyi and grabbed her arm tightly, pointing toward Huang Shi with a smug look on his face.
"Hear that, chump? Fenyi is mine! Do you think some useless piece of shit like you has the right to covet the things that I own? Naive!"
Seeing this guy act so arrogant and pompous, the other disciples of the sect—who had previously been dispersed by his guards and had now come back to watch the spectacle—whispered among themselves.
"Young Master Huang Shi should be careful! I heard that guy is called Luo Jun, and he is the heir of the second most powerful faction within the Crimson Sand Sect, the Lou Clan!"
"They say Young Master Luo Jun is a genius even among those of the younger generation of the Lou Clan and has already reached the 7th level of the Nascent Profound Realm!"
Lou Clan of the Crimson Sand Sect? 7th Level of the Nascent Profound Realm? So that's where his confidence comes from?
