CHAPTER 555: “XUANTIAN IMMORTAL VENERABLE” TAKES THE INITIATIVE!

S University.

The campus, now reopened for the term, was bustling with activity again.

But inside the classroom.

Since morning, Xi Qingmeng had been staring blankly at the blackboard.

She couldn’t absorb a single word the teacher said.

Her mind was completely filled with Wang Haoran’s face.

`Class is almost over...`

`He should be here soon, right?`

She didn’t know what had gotten into her lately.

The moment she saw Wang Haoran’s face, she couldn’t help but...

Whenever they got intimate, she was always the one initiating the forceful kisses!

Honestly, if the setting had been right, her racing heart and body might have pushed her even further!

Her hands had already strayed past clothing several times...

`I’ve fallen for him.`

That much was certain, but—

`Even if I like him... why do I... lose control like this...?`

Though she couldn’t figure it out, it didn’t stop the mix of shyness and joy that washed over her whenever she thought of Wang Haoran.

It also made her resent her engagement to Ma Teng even more.

However.

No matter how much she protested, it was useless.

Her grandfather was a disciple of Ma Teng’s grandfather, Ma Baozong.

The moment Ma Teng expressed his desire to marry her, her fate was sealed.

Unable to refuse, she could only find an excuse to come to the outside world for a brief period of freedom.

Originally, after this trip, she was supposed to return and marry Ma Teng.

Their wedding was scheduled for this month.

Of course, she didn’t want to marry him, but her grandfather and parents kept persuading her, even bringing up the family’s interests...

Just as she was agonizing over her predicament.

She encountered Wang Haoran, and that whole series of events unfolded...

And yesterday.

Having finally made up her mind, she left the ancient martial world alone and came here.

She asked her senior sister, An Buyu, to deliver a letter to Wang Haoran, explaining her situation and feelings.

`Haoran will definitely help me... he likes me...`

`A lot, it seems...`

She knew that the Jiu You Sword Saint, Dugu Qingyu, one of her Holy Land’s ancestors, was also involved with Wang Haoran.

So, resolving her situation should be easy for him.

But she still hoped Wang Haoran would come find her himself, help her personally...

When that happened.

She could truly give herself to him without reservation!

`I have nothing to repay him with, except myself...`

`Haoran, please hurry...`

Waiting, Xi Qingmeng felt both expectant and anxious—

She didn’t even realize that her anxiety wasn’t because she feared Wang Haoran wouldn’t come.

She knew he would.

What she feared was.

What if someone else got to him first...

`!`

Right then, Xi Qingmeng, still daydreaming in class, felt her phone, clutched tightly in her hand, vibrate.

She immediately held her breath.

Then, seeing the caller ID was indeed the name she had been desperately hoping for.

She instantly jumped up in excitement:

“Haoran!”

Amidst the stunned gazes of her classmates, she shot up from her seat.

And dashed out of the classroom.

Ignoring even the teacher’s confused calls.

—

Meanwhile, on the other side—

“Aunt Chen, goodbye!”

After leaving the Zhao residence, Qin Fan walked alone onto the main road.

Of course, he hadn’t ended up staying at the Zhao house.

For him, if he wanted to, he could stay anywhere!

Remembering Zhao Ruihu’s eagerness to “get rid of the guest,” he found it quite amusing:

`Heh, interesting!`

`Back in the day, for me, the dignified Xuantian Immortal Venerable, which emperor or immortal lord didn’t prepare the most luxurious palace, sending their own princesses and divine maidens to serve me?`

`All just hoping I would grace them with my presence!`

`But now, I’m being scorned by a mere mortal!`

Qin Fan knew that Zhao Yu’s instant dislike for him was also influenced by her father...

`...Whatever. Such trash isn’t worth my thoughts!`

In this life, besides revenge.

He wanted more to make up for the regrets of his past life!

Now, thanks to his treatment, his father’s limp was gone.

As for his mother, she no longer had to toil like before.

`Qingmeng, she should be back at school by now...`

`Running away from the marriage...`

And her fiancé, Ma Teng, had followed her, wanting to drag her back forcibly.

`In my previous life, my strength was insufficient. I could only watch helplessly as she was taken away...`

`But this time, none of that will happen again!`

Qin Fan knew that Ma Teng was currently visiting Qingfeng Temple with his grandfather.

`Legendary expert Ma Baozong... Hunyuan Technique...`

`Heh heh, an interesting technique!`

In his past life, around this time, he had fought Ma Teng.

Initially, Ma Teng beat him badly, but then, in a final burst of power, Qin Fan turned the tables and won.

He thought that would be enough to save Xi Qingmeng.

But unexpectedly, Ma Baozong intervened, bullying the younger generation—

“Young man, don’t say this old man didn’t give you a chance!”

“How about this? Use both your hands to bend this one finger of mine.”

“If you can bend it, this old man will leave immediately.”

“But if you can’t...”

—Ma Baozong was a Legendary expert; of course, Qin Fan couldn’t bend his finger!

But that was all in the past life.

He was different now!

`If I weren’t focused on building a solid foundation, I would have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage!`

His goal in this life was to successfully break through to become an immortal, so every step had to be solid.

Therefore, he was currently still at the peak of Qi Refinement.

However—

`I am the Xuantian Immortal Venerable!`

`If I can’t even defeat a cultivator with a flawed Foundation Establishment, my old rivals would laugh themselves to death!`

So, filled with confidence, Qin Fan prepared to strike first—

`The timing is perfect.`

`Before meeting Qingmeng, I should prepare a ‘gift’ for her!`

With that thought, Qin Fan casually flagged down a taxi by the roadside:

“Driver, take me to Qingfeng Temple!”

“You got it!”
