3212 I won’t mistreat myself
He looked at Wanyan Qianhua with pain, heartbreak, and grief, as if she had hurt him by saying she was attracted to a man for the first time in a long time.
The middle-aged man seemed to be contemplative. He didn’t become angry or reprimand her severely. For a long time, he just stared at Wanyan Qianhua intently before finally asking, “Are you serious about this?”
“I only recognise him in this life.” Wanyan Qianhua answered. Her beautiful eyes were filled with determination.
Some people might say that she had only known him for a short time, so why did she love him so deeply? In the past, she wouldn’t understand why a woman would feel this way towards a man, but now that she experienced it herself, she knew that sometimes all it took was a moment or a glance to fall in love with someone for life.
She had no idea why she had fallen in love with Jun Jueshang. When she first saw him, he was an icy-cold man. What’s more, he was an elderly man whose exact age was unknown. But as a result of the interaction that happened during those days, beginning when she was just flirting with him until the end when she realised she loved him, she had no idea what was going on with her. How did all of the charades become real?
Even though she knew he wasn’t interested in her, even though he had been avoiding her and didn’t want anything to do with her, she didn’t want to give up easily.
“Insouciant Sword Master is already centuries old. How could you fall in love with him? I can’t believe you’re attracted to that man. You, you…” The young man was agitated, angry, and unable to accept reality.
He had always liked Qianhua and everyone in the clan knew it. To avoid him, she went to cultivate in the Immortal Sect and did not even return to her clan once a year. She now claimed to have fallen in love with the sect master of the Insouciant Sect, Jun Jueshang.
Why?
What’s so good about Jun Jueshang? How did he manage to capture her heart in such a short amount of time? In what ways did he fall short of Jun Jueshang? He just couldn’t accept it!
He looked at Wanyan Qianhua while trying to suppress his rage. “Qianhua! You must return with us! You can’t stay here! You can’t risk your reputation because of a centuries-old elderly man! Don’t lose the face of our Wanyan’s clan!”
Wanyan Qianhua’s gaze turned cold. Her beautiful eyes had a tinge of chill as she stared at the man and her entire body was permeated with frostiness. “You talked about a centuries-old elderly man left and right. Do you know who you’re talking about? And where did you get the nerve to be so rude and arrogant to the Insouciant Sect’s Sect Master?”
“Qianhua…”
Wanyan Qianhua stood up, flicked her sleeve, and her hands were clasped behind her back as she stared at him coldly. “I know what I’m doing, so I don’t need you to remind me!”
When the middle-aged man noticed this, he raised his hand and motioned to them. “Alright, you two stop fighting. If outsiders see this, they will suspect that something is wrong.”
He motioned for the two to take a seat and then said to Wanyan Qianhua, “Qianhua, this time the Insouciant Sword Master sent us a message to take you home. It shows that he does not share the same feeling. I’m afraid you’ll suffer if you continue to stay here. Seventh Uncle is worried about you. I don’t want you to sink too far and get hurt in the future. After all, you and the Insouciant Sword Master are…”
“Seventh Uncle, don’t persuade me anymore. I chose my own path. He is the person I fell in love with. No one knows what will happen in the future. You can be certain that I, Wanyan Qianhua, will not mistreat myself.”
