Qian Yunxiao: I'm Not a Scumbag

Qian Yunxiao's indifferent manner truly left Qianjun Douluo at a loss.

Since when had Second Highness become so unconcerned when facing Qian Daoliu? Had he become utterly disheartened? Forget it, forget it. This was a matter between father and son of the Qian Family, and Qianjun Douluo would not meddle so much.

Qian Yunxiao told Ah Yin that he was going to handle matters at Spirit Hall.

But in reality, Qian Yunxiao headed straight to Skywater Academy.

"Greetings, Aunt Shui!"

Qian Yunxiao had not expected to run into Skywater Academy's dean—Shui Mingzhu—the moment he arrived at its gates. She was a seventy-fourth-rank Soul Saint and fifty years old.

How should he put it? Fifty-year-old Shui Mingzhu was powerful and had maintained herself quite well.

Even a mother tyrannosaur like Liu Erlong was still barely pleasant to look at in her forties or fifties.

Judging by cultivation, Qian Yunxiao and Shui Mingzhu were actually of the same rank. They were both Soul Saints.

No, Qian Yunxiao was now a quasi-Titled Douluo. If Shui Mingzhu encountered Qian Yunxiao, she would have to address him as "my lord"! It was only because Qian Yunxiao and Youlan had become sworn siblings that he was considered a generation below her before Shui Mingzhu.

When Shui Mingzhu saw Qian Yunxiao, her feelings were complicated. After all, Qian Yunxiao had nearly become her son-in-law! All she could say was... her daughter simply did not have that fate. "Yunxiao, are you here to see Youlan?"

Shui Mingzhu spoke to Qian Yunxiao, her attitude fairly pleasant.

Qian Yunxiao nodded in confirmation.

Shui Mingzhu pointed in a direction and explained, "Youlan is a Grade Director now. Her office is on the third floor. Go find her."

Qian Yunxiao did not say much more to Shui Mingzhu and headed directly in the direction she had indicated.

Youlan was indeed one of Skywater Academy's Grade Directors now.

After all, she would eventually become Skywater Academy's dean.

It was good for her to gain experience in advance.

Qian Yunxiao knocked on Youlan's office door. Without even raising her head, Youlan said, "Come in!"

Qian Yunxiao entered and locked the door behind him.

Don't misunderstand. Qian Yunxiao only did it out of habit; he had no other intentions.

"What is it?"

Youlan still did not know that Qian Yunxiao had arrived. She thought it was a Skywater Academy teacher coming to report something.

Qian Yunxiao said nothing and slowly approached Youlan step by step.

Only then did Youlan realize something was wrong.

When she looked up, she saw Qian Yunxiao.

Joy rose in Youlan's heart, but she quickly deliberately pulled a long face and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

She had truly spent several months with Qian Yunxiao at Ice Crystal Palace!

He really was a beast driven by lust! "I came to see you."

As a scumbag playboy, Qian Yunxiao naturally could not say, "Ah Yin is pregnant, and I have no choice, so I came looking for you."

Instead, he very sincerely said that he had come to see her.

Youlan gave a mocking sneer. "Why aren't you visiting your beautiful Ah Yin? What are you doing here to see an ugly woman like me?"

Qian Yunxiao shamelessly sat down beside Youlan and said, "You're Skywater City's greatest beauty. If you're an ugly woman, then are there any beauties left in this world?"

The sweet words immediately improved Youlan's attitude considerably.

"Youlan, you're so outstanding. Are you planning to follow your mother's example and casually find some man to carry on your bloodline?"

This world, how should he put it...

The importance of bloodlines was beyond doubt.

Due to the nature of the Shui Family's martial souls, they mostly gave birth to daughters and rarely had sons.

Thus, the Shui Family was quite strict when it came to inheritance. They practically had to control the choice of man!

Someone like Qian Yunxiao was actually completely outside the Shui Family's range of potential spouses.

The Qian Family was too powerful!

However, because the Shui Family had two daughters this time, they relaxed their conditions.

"You won't marry me anyway. What's the point of saying all this?"

Youlan's expression was somewhat sorrowful.

Qian Yunxiao was already a married man.

In response, Qian Yunxiao simply took the initiative.

Youlan never could have imagined that Qian Yunxiao would do such a thing in her office.

He was simply a bastard!

But Qian Yunxiao was too powerful. Youlan could not resist him at all.

It was not until Qian Yunxiao went a little too far that Youlan bit his tongue.

"What do you take me for?"

How should one put it? A young lady like her was not easy to win over.

She definitely was not as easy as Ah Yin.

Qian Yunxiao had long since cast aside his inhibitions, so he was no longer so restrained.

"I like you, and you like me. Wouldn't it be good for us to be together like this? At least... we can be happy, can't we?"

Qian Yunxiao's scumbag words made Youlan roll her eyes.

In truth, this was also Qian Yunxiao's strategy of using weakness against an enemy.

Youlan currently had a great deal of resentment toward Qian Yunxiao.

So Qian Yunxiao played along with her.

First, he would humbly state his feelings and let Youlan stand a little higher.

Then he would become more decisive, making Youlan feel that her reserve had caused Qian Yunxiao to give up on her completely.

That way, Youlan would take the initiative to lower her demands.

It was like a simp pursuing a goddess. If he stopped simping after half a year, the goddess would feel uncomfortable too.

"Sigh... you're right. I already have Ah Yin. How can I hurt you just because I still have feelings for you? Yes, Youlan, you're right. I'm a scumbag. I wish you happiness!"

After Youlan rebuffed him several times, Qian Yunxiao put on the appearance of someone who had turned over a new leaf. After criticizing himself, he truly left at once.

"Qian Yun..."

Seeing Qian Yunxiao suddenly change his attitude, Youlan truly panicked.

She... she had clearly already let Qian Yunxiao taste some sweetness. Why had he suddenly become like this?

She could not possibly let Qian Yunxiao have all of her at once, could she?

Had her words just now really been too harsh? Youlan grew anxious as well, not knowing what to do.

Should she take the initiative to call Qian Yunxiao back? She felt she could not bring herself to say it.

Should she simply make a clean break with Qian Yunxiao?

After seeing a man as outstanding as Qian Yunxiao, how could Youlan possibly think highly of any other man?

Youlan slumped into her office chair, not knowing what to do. Am I a scumbag? Is what I'm doing right?

After leaving Youlan's office, Qian Yunxiao questioned himself in his heart.

But Qian Yunxiao quickly found an answer.

"I love Ah Yin. I pursued Ah Yin through honorable means! My conscience is clear!"

"I also love Youlan. We went through life and death together, and we admire each other. It's perfectly normal for us to be together."

"I'm not a scumbag. I simply don't want to disappoint those who love me! I only want to build a large family. I'm not wrong!"

Having thought that through, Qian Yunxiao was completely at ease.

He truly was an upright gentleman! Qianjun Douluo had not been wrong.

Qian Daoliu really came. He arrived less than three days after Qian Yunxiao had left his tender and comfortable haven.

After arriving, Qian Daoliu naturally stayed at Spirit Hall.

When Qian Yunxiao saw him, Qian Daoliu's expression seemed somewhat ugly.

At Qian Daoliu's side, Qianjun Douluo did not dare utter a single word.
