Chapter 1153: Chapter 30: Where Is Justice? Justice Is Here!
"A woman with such a hypocritical and malicious heart, and still proud of it, even if you threw yourself at me, I wouldn’t dare take you." Duanmu Xin flipped open his fan with a swish, shaking it as he looked at Cao Xilan with disdain.
Cao Xilan’s face turned pig liver-red in an instant; never had she imagined that she would be looked down upon and rejected by a Demon Cultivator. Just a city lord of a remote small town, merely a minor Demon Cultivator! And yet, he dares! Back in the day, even the Sect Masters of major sects greeted her with smiles, speaking to her with utmost care. Standing at the great hall of the Wanhe Sect back then, what a sight she was.
Now, she suffered such humiliation and ridicule in this remote small town.
"Finished talking? It’s my turn." Li Suyi said coldly, "Cao Xilan, shouldn’t we settle the score between us?"
Cao Xilan stiffened all over, roused from her past glory. She glared hatefully at Duanmu Xin, then suddenly took out something and tore it apart, disappearing from her original spot.
"It’s a Teleportation Talisman!" Duanmu Xin exclaimed, then with a regretful face, "Ah, such a precious thing, she actually still has it. It must be given by her father Cao Yuanli. If only I had known earlier, I would have snatched it first."
Li Suyi said nothing, turned and prepared to leave. No matter how far Cao Xilan ran, she could still track her down. For now, let her escape, let her stew in fear.
"Wait, Miss Li." Duanmu Xin called out upon seeing Li Suyi about to depart.
"Something you need?" Li Suyi turned to look at Duanmu Xin.
"I admire you greatly, Miss Li. If you need, just give the word, and I’ll track her down for you across thousands of miles." Duanmu Xin said with a smile.
Li Suyi glanced at Duanmu Xin coolly, said nothing, and walked away.
"Ah, Miss Li, I’m serious, what does that disdain in your eyes mean? Although I have many women around me, I could dismiss them for you. Hey, don’t go so fast." Duanmu Xin shouted behind but didn’t move his feet to chase.
Li Suyi ignored him and quickened her pace to leave.
Duanmu Xin stood at the gate of his City Lord Mansion, shaking his fan, shaking his head as well, sighing: "Ah, lost the chance to latch onto greatness."
"City Lord, do you intend to ascend?" a nearby guard asked curiously.
"No." Duanmu Xin answered without thinking.
"Then why latch onto greatness?" The guard puzzled.
"With Heavenly Dao Sect being so powerful, being associated would let me stride through the Cultivation World." Duanmu Xin tapped the guard’s head with his fan handle, "You’re really dense, can’t even understand this?"
"Oh, I see, you are wise, sir. Then, it’s indeed a lost opportunity." The guard commented clumsily and ruefully.
Duanmu Xin laughed aloud, shaking his fan as he walked back inside. Grabbing Heavenly Dao Sect’s favor isn’t that easy, but as long as I stay out of trouble, Heavenly Dao won’t trouble me. As for Li Suyi, his admiration is genuine. Despite how she was wronged by Cao Xilan, as if abandoned by the whole world, she never gave up. After going through so many ordeals, Li Suyi’s eyes still showed no trace of darkness.
A fine girl indeed...
It’s a pity I am not worthy of her.
Meeting her today was good enough.
No more dwelling, no more. Off to have a drink with my thirty-second concubine.
