Chapter 1380: Only the Blind Would Fall for You!

"You told her?"

Zhang Xuan shrank his neck, his scalp tingling. True qi surged through his body as he prepared to bolt the moment the other charged at him.

This brother-in-law was somewhat unreasonable. A wise man knows when to retreat; if a fight broke out, he would have to flee first and communicate properly once the man had calmed down.

"That's right."

Seeming somewhat irritated, Luo Xuanqing waved his hand.

Seeing that he hadn't made a move, Zhang Xuan hesitated before asking again, "Then... who is he?"

"I'm not sure who exactly. She met him during this time away. Apparently, he's a master teacher—broad-minded, concerned for the world, eager to help others in need, and thoughtful. Though his cultivation is low, his character is flawless, especially in alchemy, which is unparalleled in history and rare in the world..."

The more he spoke, the angrier he grew. Luo Xuanqing waved his hand. "But she didn't mention his name, so I don't know who he is."

"Didn't mention his name?"

Zhang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, deeply moved. He hadn't expected Luo Ruoxi to think so highly of him. Truly, she was someone who understood him and could see all his virtues.

Sighing inwardly, he looked over again. "Since the little princess has described him as so perfect, what concerns do you still have?"

He really didn't understand this brother-in-law. Why reject someone so perfect? What kind of person was he looking for?

Such an outstanding man might be hard to find a second in the world.

"Perfect? Hmph! The more she says that, the deeper she's been bewitched by that brat... In this world, besides me, where is there a perfect man?"

Luo Xuanqing waved his hand grandly.

"Cough, cough!" Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and his brows jumped, nearly choking on his saliva. This brother-in-law was good in many ways, but he was too narcissistic...

You, perfect?

Every hall you enter ends up in chaos, with everyone calling for your head—that's perfect? Don't you have any self-awareness?

Thinking this, he couldn't help shaking his head. "Speaking of perfection, you don't qualify. Only I can barely claim to be..."

"You?" Luo Xuanqing sneered at him. "Cut it out. That's nonsense. You do have some skills—unique methods in formations, beast taming, and crossing lightning tribulations—but your behavior is odd, you speak without thinking, your emotional intelligence is low, and you call yourself perfect? Pfft! I doubt any girl would like you. If she did, she'd be blind..."

Though he had only known this man for about twenty days, through observation, he understood him well: low EQ, slow reactions, blunt speech, and no normal reaction to girls...

He had even wondered if Zhang Xuan had some peculiar hobby. If someone liked a person like that, it must be because they were blind.

"You..." Zhang Xuan was speechless. "You're not much better. Don't you have a girlfriend either? You're single. It would be strange if a woman liked your personality!"

What the heck! I respect you as my brother-in-law, and you say no one likes me, and even call your own sister blind...

I think you're the blind one.

Same bloodline, same family, one brother and one sister—how can your judgment be so different?

No wonder you're over thirty and still without a girlfriend.

"You... bullshit! It's because I don't want to find one. The women who approach me all do so for my status as the young master of the Luo clan. None of them catch my eye..."

Luo Xuanqing's eyes widened as he spoke.

"Stop making excuses. No one wants you, so just admit it. Stop pretending!" Zhang Xuan curled his lip.

"You..." Luo Xuanqing panted with rage, about to explode.

The two men glared at each other, each wanting to tear the other apart.

After who knows how long, Zhang Xuan waved his hand. "To tell you the truth, I have a girlfriend, and she loves me very much..."

"Heh." Luo Xuanqing.

"I'm serious. My girlfriend is extremely beautiful and very strong." Zhang Xuan continued.

"Heh." Luo Xuanqing.

"What, you don't believe me? How could someone as outstanding as me not have a girlfriend?" Zhang Xuan's forehead darkened.

"Heh." Luo Xuanqing.

"..." Zhang Xuan.

After a while.

"Let me tell you, I have a girlfriend too." Luo Xuanqing said.

"Heh." Zhang Xuan.

"My girlfriend is also very beautiful and strong..." Luo Xuanqing.

"Heh." Zhang Xuan.

"You..." Luo Xuanqing gritted his teeth.

They glared at each other again.

"I won't waste words with you. I wanted to ask you to help me find out who my sister likes."

After an unknown period of stalemate, Luo Xuanqing waved his hand and continued.

This was the matter he needed help with.

"Me help you investigate?" Zhang Xuan frowned. "You're the young master of the Luo clan, with many subordinates and broader sources of information than me. Why ask me?"

Though the other seemed impulsive and reckless, from dealing with the Azure Dragon Beast, Zhang Xuan knew he was rough on the outside but meticulous inside.

"I've already promised my sister not to investigate that person, so I can only hope someone else will. You're the only one who knows. Once you find out, just mention it in front of me, and I'll 'overhear' it... That won't break my promise."

Luo Xuanqing waved his hand.

It wasn't that he didn't want to investigate, but his sister had specifically asked him not to disturb the person she liked. He hadn't wanted to agree, but seeing her pleading look, he couldn't refuse.

Since he couldn't investigate and couldn't discuss it with others, he had to ask this man for help.

"This..." Zhang Xuan was puzzled that Luo Ruoxi had asked her brother not to investigate, but then he understood.

She probably knew that his current strength couldn't match this brother-in-law or the entire Luo clan, so she didn't want him to be disturbed or harmed.

"Sigh." Zhang Xuan shook his head.

A woman's favor was the hardest to bear. She had given so much for him.

"Alright, I agree to help you search. But do you have any clues?"

After a pause, Zhang Xuan nodded.

Agreeing to help would let him keep track of Ruoxi's situation and take the initiative. Later, if he wanted to reveal the information, it would be much easier.

"The clues are... what I just told you. The person she likes is a master teacher, said to have good character and looks... As for where she went during this time, she didn't tell me. I'm not sure. I'll ask her clearly and then tell you in detail."

Luo Xuanqing paused.

After his sister left, all news of her was cut off. Even he, as her brother, didn't know where she had gone.

Perhaps someone in the clan knew, but he would have to ask around.

"Once you find out, tell me in detail."

Hearing that the other didn't know much, Zhang Xuan relaxed.

This gave him plenty of time to quickly improve his strength.

Knowing that Luo Ruoxi was unharmed, Zhang Xuan didn't ask further.

For now, it wasn't appropriate for him to reveal himself. What he needed most was to become an 8-star master teacher as soon as possible and raise his cultivation to become the true Hall Master of the Saint Hall.

Only then would he be qualified to reveal his identity and, like Luo Ruoxi, withstand the pressure from the two great clans.

"I've just broken through and need some time to consolidate my cultivation. Here's the top-grade spirit stone I promised you."

Seeing that he had agreed, Luo Xuanqing said no more. He flipped his wrist and took out a jade box, handing it over.

It seemed he had just met with his clansmen and collected everyone's reward.

"Thank you!"

This was his due, so Zhang Xuan didn't refuse and took it.

As soon as his palm touched the jade box, he felt pure spiritual energy surge into his meridians, causing his Heaven's Path true qi to boil involuntarily.

Truly a top-grade spirit stone—even before opening the jade box, it had such a powerful effect. Compared to it, a high-grade spirit stone was far inferior.

"I'll consolidate my cultivation and then find you..."

With that, Luo Xuanqing sat down cross-legged.

The lightning tribulation was over, signifying that he had fully broken through to the Void Realm and was now a true Void Realm expert.

"Mm."

Seeing him cultivate and knowing that with his status, he would be safe in the Saint Hall, Zhang Xuan said no more. He flickered and flew back along the path he had come.

Returning to his residence, he was about to use the top-grade spirit stone to replenish his true qi when Sun Qiang hurried over.

"Young master, someone has been waiting for you for several days..."

"Waiting for me?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Ever since arriving at the Saint Hall, he had been busy, barely staying at his residence and knowing almost no one... Who would look for him?

And wait for several days?

"Yes!" Sun Qiang nodded.

"Who is it? Which faction?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help asking.

"A man in his twenties. I don't know which faction, but he gave his name!"

Sun Qiang recalled. "It seemed to be... Feng Ziyi!"

"Feng Ziyi? Yang Xuan's true student?"

Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he stood frozen in place.
