Chapter 1422: I Treated You Like a Brother, but You Want to Date My Sister?

"Zhang Xuan?"

His pupils constricted, and Luo Xuanqing quickly looked over: "Which Zhang, which Xuan?"

"Zhang as in 'bow' Zhang, Xuan as in 'hang oneself' Xuan!"

The old man explained.

"They share the same name... That's impossible..." A thunderclap roared in his mind, as if struck by lightning. Luo Xuanqing couldn't help but step back twice, his face turning pale.

This name was exactly the same as his good brother's, not a single character off. Could it be the same person?

He had gotten along with Zhang Xuan, finding their temperaments similar and their dispositions compatible, so he hadn't pressed for his origins. He only knew that Zhang Xuan wasn't from the Zhang family, but had no idea where he actually came from.

Could it be that he really came from the Qingyuan Empire?

If that were the case...

The person his sister liked, whom he had been painstakingly searching for, wouldn't he be right before his eyes, calling him brother?

His body trembled as scenes of his time with this Zhang Xuan flashed through his mind.

At their first meeting, he had directly asked, "Your sister?" and then been beaten up. After that, Zhang Xuan had been extraordinarily kind to him. He had thought it was because of his personal charm...

Could it be because he knew his sister?

"Young Master Luo..."

Seeing his expression change dramatically, the old man across from him couldn't help but look over.

"I'm fine. By the way, I'd like to ask about a student from the elite class of our Saint Hall..."

Letting out a breath, Luo Xuanqing looked over again.

"Information on the Saint Hall is easier to look up. Young Master Luo, just ask directly!"

The old man said.

"A student who just enrolled this year, Zhang Xuan!"

Luo Xuanqing said.

"Heh, you don't even need to ask. This Teacher Zhang is indeed from the Qingyuan Empire, the dean of Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy!"

Thinking he was asking about someone else, the old man laughed upon hearing the name, his tone filled with emotion: "Coming from a small kingdom all the way here, he's already an eight-star master teacher at just twenty. This Teacher Zhang has become the new idol worshipped by everyone in the Saint Hall. That young lady who received you earlier is his loyal fan, adoring him to no end..."

"Idol, young lady... adoring?"

Turning his head, he indeed saw the girl who had received him earlier, her eyes sparkling at the mention of Zhang Xuan's name, almost drooling.

"Damn it..."

His fists clenched, nails digging into his flesh. Luo Xuanqing felt his hair stand on end, as if he were about to explode.

In less than a month at the Saint Hall, he had already seduced countless girls into such infatuation. His sister, who had never experienced romantic feelings, falling for him was only natural.

I treated you like a brother, but you want to date my sister...

And on top of that, you act so innocent... Zhang Xuan, do you have no shame?

His lips trembling uncontrollably, Luo Xuanqing felt he had fallen into the other's trap from the very beginning.

"Deliberately getting close to me just to pry information about my sister out of me. So treacherous, I must kill him..."

Furious to the point of madness, Luo Xuanqing's killing intent boiled over.

Earlier, he had thought that killing his sister's beloved would anger her, but now that he knew who it was and recalled his despicable methods, he could no longer hold back.

He was clearly the one my sister liked, yet he pretended to be innocent, acting as if it had nothing to do with him, causing me to treat him like a brother all along...

This was an utter humiliation!

And the worst part was, he had foolishly told him everything...

"No wonder he kept refusing... Who could accept killing themselves?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, his scalp nearly splitting.

"Oh no, quickly go fetch Elder Ge, tell him... the Destroyer is about to destroy the Letter Hall!"

Seeing the young man's power surging layer upon layer, ready to explode at any moment, the old man's face turned white with fear. He quickly turned to give orders.

As an executive elder, he was only at Saint Realm Level 7, still somewhat inferior to the young man before him. If it came to a fight, he couldn't hold him back.

Given the young man's illustrious track record and his current expression, no one would believe he wasn't planning to cause destruction.

"Yes..."

Nodding, the girl was about to leave when she saw Luo Xuanqing appear before her, eyes red: "Tell me, why do you admire that Zhang Xuan? Is he better than me?"

In terms of strength, he was at Saint Realm Level 8; in terms of looks... he was streets ahead of the other. He really couldn't understand why the girl liked that guy!

"I... Wah!"

Feeling the oppressive pressure of his aura, the girl's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Let that girl go..."

The old man shouted.

"I..."

Luo Xuanqing finally came to his senses, his face full of reluctance.

She spoke of Zhang Xuan with such admiration, but when she saw him, she was scared to tears... Why? What right did he have?

Seeing his expression, the old man knew exactly what he was thinking and was utterly speechless.

With such a menacing demeanor, it would be a miracle if any woman liked him!

Look at Zhang Xuan, who faced even the violent thunder with a smile, entering it and making it tremble and convulse until it fled in defeat...

With such a gap, how could he compare?

"Forget it, I'll just kill that bastard now..."

Knowing that asking her would yield nothing, Luo Xuanqing gritted his teeth in anger, leaped into the air, and flew straight toward Jian Qinsheng's residence.

Since he knew it was this guy who seduced his sister, don't blame him for being rude—kill him first and talk later!

Soon arriving at Jian Qinsheng's residence, still in the air, he couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly: "Luo Xuanqing has come to visit!"

His voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the entire courtyard.

"Luo Xuanqing, what do you want?"

No sooner had the sound faded than an angry rebuke rang out, followed by a graceful figure flying over.

Shui Qianrou!

"Qianrou... Why are you here?"

Seeing the girl, Luo Xuanqing was taken aback, his earlier momentum vanishing.

"Jian Qinsheng is my teacher, and I'm studying under him. There's nothing wrong with living in his residence, is there?"

Shui Qianrou snorted coldly: "I've told you, I have no feelings for you. If you keep haunting me and come to my teacher's place, don't blame me for informing my family and being rude to you!"

"I..."

Luo Xuanqing was at a loss for words.

Back when he boasted to Zhang Xuan about having a girlfriend who was very beautiful, it wasn't a lie—it was the truth. It was just that this beautiful 'girlfriend' hadn't agreed to be with him yet!

And she was none other than the person before him.

Although the Sage Shui family was far inferior to the Luo family, they were both students of the Saint Hall. Feelings couldn't be forced; if she didn't like him, there was nothing he could do.

"What kind of person do you like? If I'm not good enough, I can change..."

He had meant to say he wasn't here for her, but the words changed as they left his mouth.

He was so outstanding and handsome—why didn't she like him?

"What kind of person?" Shui Qianrou snorted, a glint flashing in her eyes as she revealed her admiration: "The person I like must be highly skilled in swordsmanship, with unparalleled talent. He understands everything at a glance and grasps it immediately. One day, he will point out my flaws and teach me profound sword techniques..."

"Point out your sword techniques? Could it be..."

Luo Xuanqing's scalp felt like it was splitting.

"That's right, I like someone like Teacher Zhang Xuan. As for you..."

Shui Qianrou waved her hand dismissively, a look of disdain on her face: "Forget it!"
