C2: I Didn’t Do Anything Yet!

A frown formed on Mu Qingyu's face. However, she sighed softly, "Senior Brother Zhu…"

"I have one last question for you. If my clan still exists in the You Continent, will you still choose to break off the engagement?" Zhu Ying snapped.

Mu Qingyu muttered, "Senior Brother Zhu, there's no need for this. I didn't do this to latch on to a stronger power. It's just…"

"Hahaha! You're right! It's definitely not because of that!"

As though he heard the most hilarious joke in the world, Zhu Ying threw his head backwards and roared with laughter. When he was done, he pointed at Shang Xia and growled, "What's the relationship you share with him then?"

"What the f… That's the reason behind my appearance!" Shang Xia thought to himself. "I'm the bad guy here!"

He could tell that there was an amazing show ready to unfold, but he didn't realize that the 'culprit' behind the entire break up would be him!

Feeling the gazes of the three seniors, Shang Xia could no longer remain silent. There was no way he was going to take the blame for that.

Without giving Shang Xia a chance to explain himself, Mu Qingyu spoke first. "This has nothing to do with Senior Brother Shang! Don't misunderstand the relationship between us! We merely cultivate together when we have free time!"

Ma Shaofeng harrumphed before following behind Zhang Haogu.

As Liu Zhifei got to his feet, he swallowed his initial thoughts before giving Zhu Ying some final words of advice. "You should prepare to face the consequences of your actions." Thê sourc𝗲 of this conte/nt n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))

Watching the three seniors taking their leave, Shang Xia was about to leave when he saw Mu Qingyu trembling silently where she stood. He decided to help her in case she collapsed from the blow Zhu Ying dealt.

Taking a step forward, he asked, "Young Lady Mu, are you alright?"

"Senior Brother Shang…"

When Mu Qingyu's gaze fell on Shang Xia, it was as though she found her pillar of support. She grabbed his arm immediately.

Unwilling to draw more trouble to himself, Shang Xia stopped her immediately.

It was too bad he failed to control his strength at the crucial moment. Pure energy leaked out of his body towards a defenseless Mu Qingyu. Moaning once, she crumpled into his arms.

As someone who was pretty much a playboy in his previous life, he knew exactly what happened. Unable to avoid her, a helpless smile formed on his face as he opened his arms wide

in, Shang Xia chose to take his leave.

Right before he could step out of the courtyard, Zhu Ying's voice rang through the air. "Chief Shang…"

Shang Xia turned to look at the pitiful Zhu Ying, and he was met with a venomous gaze.

"The position of the leader of the outer division belongs to the strongest expert in all six outer divisions… Shang Xia, do you really think that you're the strongest?!"

"Hehe, do you have anything to say about it?" Shang Xia chuckled.

"You might be pretty talented to reach the Martial Extremity Realm in your first year, but you only managed to gain the title because of your identity! Humph, don't forget, there are several seniors stronger than you!"

Shang Xia looked at Zhu Ying from head to toe and muttered, "Looks like Martial Brother Zhu is confident in your strength. Oh right, I forgot! You're not a freshman… You're already in your second year.."

"Does it matter? In three days, the year will end. When that happens, you'll learn that the position of the leader of the outer division isn't yours to keep!" Zhu Ying sneered.

Opening his fan slowly, Shang Xia grinned, "Come at me."

"Shang Xia, just you wait! The moment you enter the inner division, I'll give you a lesson you won't forget!"
