The next day.
Annan Feng had changed into lavish robes. He stood tall and straight, his eyes bright, his handsome features exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.
He left the Realm Lord's Residence early and arrived at the Annan Sword Sect in his carriage to personally pick up Xia Qiuer.
Nine dragon horses snorted and came galloping with piercing whinnies, drawing cries of amazement from the Annan Sword Sect's million disciples.
"The World Lord is here again."
"The World Lord really cares about Elder Qiu Xia. Is this how geniuses are treated?"
"Elder Qiu Xia is talented and beautiful. Maybe our World Lord has taken a fancy to her?"
"Haha, you're right. If Elder Qiu Xia and the World Lord end up together, they'll truly be a match made in heaven, enough to make everyone green with envy."
"Shh! Have you lost your minds? Don't you know the World Lord already has a wife and family? Even if he does favor Elder Qiu Xia, it's not your place to spread rumors so openly!"
"Oh, right, right..."
A young elder hurried over to drive them away, sternly reprimanding them.
The young disciples hastily ducked their heads and ran off, not daring to discuss it anymore.
The carriage soon left the Annan Sword Sect.
Inside the carriage.
"Qiu Xia, you really do look beautiful in this dress." Annan Feng looked Xia Qiuer up and down, the ulterior desire in his eyes almost spilling out.
Today, Xia Qiuer wore a seven-colored long dress. Annan Feng had forced this dress upon her as a gift, and she was wearing it today only because he had insisted.
Until she reached the Annan Star Pass and found an opportunity to escape, Xia Qiuer could only pretend to comply so that Annan Feng would lower his guard.
