Chapter 234: Overjoyed Qiang
" Hey, senior Qiang, long time no see. "
Xiao immediately recognised his voice and her lips curled up into a beautiful smile making her face look even more gorgeous then she took one step further away from Qiang so that Jayden didn't think that she was talking to him.
Qiang frowned at the sudden interruption, then turning his head he saw Jayden walking towards him, immediately a frown appeared on his face, then gritting his teeth he spoke:
" Wang Jin, I didn't expect you to return from that dangerous forest safely, but you should stay alert after all even the sect is not completely safe, you know. "
Both Jayden and Xiao Rong could feel the threatening intent hidden in his words, Xiao wanted to beat Qiang immediately, but Jayden's voice stopped her.
' Don't worry about anything, he can't do anything to me. '
Xiao was confused hearing his voice in her head, but she just nodded slightly towards him.
" I'm so lucky to have a senior like you, but recently I heard that... "
Jayden began talking with a grateful look then his expression turned serious and he continued:
" that someone beat you up like a dog in your own house, and if it wasn't for your grandfather then they might have even cut you into pieces. Haa, the sect really isn't safe. "
Jayden finished with a worried expression.
" You- But how did you kn...? "
Qiang was confused he couldn't understand how Jayden knew about this news, his grandfather had stopped any leakage of it.
Xiao was surprised by the news too and seeing Qiang's reaction it seemed he was telling the truth.
" It's already a hot topic among everyone, I'm deeply sad about what happened to you, who would want to kill a good soul such as you? "
Jayden added in a sad tone.
Qiang was even more confused, he looked at Jayden trying to see whether he was just making fun of him or acting genuinely.
Then ignoring Jayden he turned his gaze towards Xiao Rong and asked:
" Xiao, please tell me what you were saying before, otherwise it will become a hindrance to my cultivation. "
With a sigh, Xiao was about to speak something when Jayden's voice again ran in her head:
' Just say what I am saying, you believe me right? '
Glancing towards him, she nodded and began speaking what he was saying in her head:
" Qiang, marriage is a big matter, we have known each other for a long time and I trust you a lot and you even hold a special position in my heart, but I need some more time to consider, so just wait for a bit more time for me, I will personally tell you my feelings then. "
Xiao said out loud, after she finished both Xiao and Qiang stood with their mouth wide open, completely stunned, Qiang stared at Xiao and Xiao stared at Jayden, wondering why he made her say all that.
' Could it be that he wants to push me away, did he do all this because he doesn't want to see me? Should I have not done what I did last time with him? '
Xiao thought with a heavy heart, if Jayden hadn't said his next words she might have started crying right there and then.
' Don't think anything useless, I just need to settle some matters with him, that was all just bullshit. I'll talk to you later. '
Jayden said glancing at her, and only after listening to his words did she calm down and her expression returned to normal, cold and aloof.
But Qiang was in an even bigger shock, he couldn't believe what she had just said to him, since the first time he saw her till now, she had never said anything like that to him, she had always treated him just like a stone that was lying on the side of the road.
But hearing that he holds a special place in her heart, made Qiang so happy and excited that he wanted to tear apart his clothes and jump up and down, and run all over the ground while screaming crazily.
Holding in his emotions, he asks in disbelief:
" I- Is that all true? D- Does that mean I still have a chance with you? Ha Haha Hahaha, I- I really have a place in your heart? "
Qiang asked again as if to confirm that everything he just heard was true, but Xiao didn't give him any more time and walked away.
Qiang just stood there, his hands trembled in happiness, and he was ecstatic.
" Woah senior, you are awesome, it seems like she might really be in love with you. Just hang on there, I'm cheering for you. "
Jayden said encouragingly.
Looking back at him, Qiang stared at Jayden in surprise:
" You are cheering for me? Weren't you also in love with her? "
He asked after all that was the only reason he hated Wang Jin so much and even wanted to kill him.
" What are you talking about, senior? Do you think someone like me will ever EVER have a chance with her? Impossible, but you on the other hand are perfect, you are my role model. "
Jayden said, blinking his eyes innocently, then he walked away too holding in his laughter.
' Could it be- Did I really misunderstood him? Haa, I even sent some of my underlings to deal with him in the competition, well whatever, focusing on Xiao is the most important now. '
Qiang thought and glanced towards Xiao who looked as elegant as ever, like the immortal beauty.
" He is soon going to face a heart break, Jay you really are something, hehe. " Anna said, giggling lightly.
' He is the one who started the trouble, now I'm going to make him regret even being born. '
Jayden said with a cruel smile.
Then Jayden sat at the seat that was present where the junior disciples were gathered.
The entire competition would be conducted in two parts, and there are twenty stages ten for junior disciples and while the remaining were for the senior disciples.
The senior disciples were a lot less in numbers compared to the junior disciples so they will compete with Battles from the start while since there are so many junior disciples, many will be removed in the first round even before getting the chance to fight.
Xiao looked at Jayden longingly, she wanted to sit with him but held herself back, she made a note in her mind to meet him later and cultivate with him again.
' And this time, I'll bring it to one step higher than the last time. ' she thought, her heart beating crazily as she thought what she will do to him the next time.
Jayden looked towards his wives and saw them chatting among themselves while eating some thing, Viser was sitting seriously as he observed his surrounding, while Xerome was trying to speak to a woman who was sitting beside him.
' Haa, at least choose someone younger, she looks like your grandma. ' Jayden said sighing, as he saw the woman who looked to be in her 70s.
' Just how desperate is that vampire or did he have some special quirks? ' he wondered.
