He actually agreed to the state preceptor’s request. He was already unfilial enough. Therefore, he must at least have a child as a memento for his parents even if it meant going against his promise of being a virgin forever. In the end, he still lost to reality.
After giving her his promise, he really wanted to keep it. However, he still lost to reality in the end. He felt really helpless and grievous because the reality was harsh.
“That’s quite good. It’s good that you’re able to walk out of your own sorrow.” Feng Tianlan raised her head and smiled at him. “Although Luo Shiyun has quite a bad temper, she is still a very nice person.”
Xi Jin looked rather absent-minded when he saw her smile. He then closed his eyes and replied with a soft ‘uh-huh’. She never really cared about him before.
Si Mobai let go of Feng Tianlan’s hand. He then raised his head and looked at Xi Jin. “Spar with me one more time.”
He felt really unhappy when he saw him. He really wanted to beat him up.
Feng Tianlan tugged the corner of her mouth. However, she didn’t bother about him. After knowing what happened, Mobai no longer treats Xi Jin as his rival. but his enemy. The enemy who he wanted to kill. He really was showing him mercy if he were to just beat him up without killing him. Therefore, she didn’t stop him.
Xi Jin glanced at Feng Tianlan. “Alright.”
Right after saying that, the two of them struck each other at the same time. They weren’t using any Spiritual Force. They were fighting purely with their fists, legs and some simple yet efficient moves. One of them would really get killed if they were to use their Spiritual Forces. At least Xi Jin was only getting beaten up this way, not killed.
However, no matter how simple their moves were, Xi Jin was only getting beaten up by him since he wasn’t as quick as Si Mobai. When he was about to use a move, he was already struck by a heavy blow on the back. He then snorted silently in pain.
He couldn’t keep up with his speed no matter what he did. Therefore, Xi Jin was destined to lose.
After 15 minutes, Xi Jin was lying on the ground, all beaten up as he panted heavily. His forehead and his body were soaked in sweat.
Si Mobai landed beside Feng Tianlan gracefully while dusting the corner of his shirt softly. “Can’t even take a hit, how boring.”
Feng Tianlan tugged the corner of her mouth. “Why do you still fight then?” He was fighting in a very relaxed manner. He wasn’t even panting, not to say sweat. The difference between him and Xi Jin was really obvious.
“He deserved to be beaten up.”
Feng Tianlan tugged the corner of her mouth while looking at Xi Jin, who was sighing as he got up from the ground. She then showed her concern. “Are you alright?”
Si Mobai pulled Feng Tianlan over with jealousy. “You didn’t even care about me.”
“You weren’t the one getting beaten up.”
Si Mobai reached out his hand in front of her. “My hand is hurting from all the beating. See, they are both red.”
“…” after seeing Si Mobai’s behaviour, Feng Tianlan was completely speechless.
“I am fine.” Xi Jin steadied himself. He only had a few broken ribs, and his legs were hurting after getting kicked. It seemed like he had to limp for the next few days. However, based on his understanding of Si Mobai’s character, he knew that Si Mobai really was showing him mercy by beating him up instead of killing him.
Feng Tianlan was rubbing’s Si Mobai’s hand as she replied with a soft ‘uh-huh’. “We will be making our move then.”
Xi Jin replied with a soft ‘uh-huh’. He was still staring at her with those gentle eyes. “Dai’er, no matter what I do from today onwards, you must always believe that I, Xi Jin, will hurt anyone but you.”
After hearing his serious tone, Feng Tianlan looked at him doubtfully. “Why are you saying that?”
“Nothing.” Xi Jin curled his lips and smile. However, he felt extremely agonizing in his heart. He hoped that she would understand that he would never hurt her.
