Chapter 2364 - 2365: I Can’t Be Bothered With Anything That Doesn’t Benefit Me
Chapter 2364: Chapter 2365: I Can’t Be Bothered With Anything That Doesn’t Benefit Me
As for the rest of the Yue Clan members, they were all dumbfounded, not understanding why the Third Miss would disregard propriety and hug Xue An in public.
Only Yue Junze gave Xue An a cheeky smile and secretly gave him a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.
Because in his view, Commander Xue was simply too impressive.
To make his cousin, who is recognized as a goddess by the younger generation of the Bing Family, throw herself into his arms in front of so many people—if that’s not impressive, what is?
Under all those watching eyes, Xue An felt as if his hair was standing on end.
Because the anger within his mind was not to be taken lightly.
Yet he couldn’t directly break free either, because that would only cement his reputation as a "scumbag."
So, he could only give a wry smile.
"Okay, okay, Qinghuan, let go of me first; everyone’s watching, it’s so improper!" Xue An gently persuades.
But Yue Qinghuan was being stubborn now, and no matter what Xue An said, she wouldn’t let go.
Cold sweat broke out on Xue An’s forehead.
This was the first time he experienced what it truly meant to be on pins and needles.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of those glaring looks, but the anger in his mind was growing stronger.
Just then, Yue Shifang suddenly parted the crowd and walked over.
Seeing him, Xue An looked at him as if he had seen his savior, full of pleading eyes.
Yue Shifang had an expression that was half-smiling, and ignored Xue An’s pleading gaze, casually walking over and pretending to be surprised, "Oh my, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing her brother’s voice, Yue Qinghuan trembled slightly and instinctively let go of her hold.
Xue An took the chance to stand up immediately, "Ah, it’s nothing, we were just talking!"
Yue Qinghuan shot Xue An a resentful look, then gave her brother a hard glare before her figure flashed and she vanished from the spot.
After she left, Xue An couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
But the next second, he was choked up by Yue Shifang’s remark.
"Boy, you’ve got quite the guts to flirt with my sister right in front of me!"
Xue An’s heart felt like a thousand galloping horses were rushing over it, but he was too embarrassed to swear in front of so many people, so he lowered his voice.
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? You were hugging and holding my sister right in front of everyone, and you still ask what I mean?" Yue Shifang had an expression that enjoyed the drama.
Seeing that mischievous look in his eyes, Xue An suddenly understood.
This guy was clearly trying to stand up for his sister.
Meanwhile, Cha Wenliang and Ao Shu also stepped over.
Actually, they both saw what had just happened.
If not for Cha Wenliang holding Ao Shu back tightly, the furious Dragon Lady would probably have already charged over.
Even now, her face still held traces of anger as she stood coldly behind Cha Wenliang, not even greeting Xue An.
Cha Wenliang, however, uncharacteristically played the peacemaker.
"Ahem, such a beautiful day, let’s talk less about irrelevant matters. Come, let’s drink!"
With that, he raised a wine glass, passing it to Yue Shifang and Xue An.
For this Ghost Needle Divine Doctor who had cured him, Yue Shifang naturally had to show respect, so he smiled and took the glass.
"Thank you!"
Xue An was also eager to quickly cover up this matter, so he accepted it as well.
After the three of them drank their wine, the storm finally passed.
Then Cha Wenliang smiled and said to Yue Shifang, "Patriarch Yue, you’re busy with duties today, you should go entertain the guests. I have a few words for Xue An!"
Yue Shifang nodded and turned to leave.
But just before leaving, he suddenly said lightly, "Xue An, remember to come to the garden pavilion in the backyard after the dinner ends, I have a few words for you too!"
With that, he left in big strides.
Watching his departing figure, Xue An gave a bitter smile.
Cha Wenliang chuckled, "Looks like he’s still not planning to let you go!"
Saying this, he winked at Xue An, "But who told you to flirt with his sister in front of so many people? Anyone wouldn’t let you off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Shu, who was drinking fruit wine behind him, crushed the cup in her hand and furiously said, "You guys chat, I’m going over there!"
After Ao Shu also left, Cha Wenliang sighed, "It seems my disciple still hasn’t completely given up on you!"
"I am curious, what is it about you that attracts so many girls to like you?"
"In terms of looks, we’re about equal. In terms of strength, you’re just a small Immortal Venerable, while I’m the renowned Ghost Needle Divine Doctor in most of Sky Beyond the Skies. Yet why do no girls like me? It’s really puzzling!"
Cha Wenliang looked frustrated.
And Xue An, looking at his short and plain appearance, suddenly didn’t know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he finally said in a deep voice.
"What did you just want to talk to me about?"
"Oh, nothing much, just wanted to ask if you have time coming up!"
"Hmm? Why?" Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow.
Cha Wenliang grinned, "Hehe, it’s definitely good news!"
Saying this, he leaned forward mysteriously and lowered his voice, "Are you planning to leave as soon as the dinner is over?"
"Yeah!"
Xue An nodded, it wasn’t a difficult secret to guess.
"Then have you decided where to go?"
"Not yet, but probably traveling around to improve my skills!"
"Exactly!" Cha Wenliang slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "I just have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here, which can not only help you improve your skills but also make a name for yourself in Sky Beyond the Skies!"
"Oh? What opportunity?"
Cha Wenliang took out a Jade Slip from his pocket, "Do you know what this is?"
"I don’t know!"
"This is an invitation I just received yesterday from the Physician’s League!"
"Physician’s League?"
"Exactly!" Cha Wenliang proudly pointed to himself, "I am an elder in the Physician’s League!"
Besides sects and noble families, Sky Beyond the Skies has many various leagues.
Their purpose is to unite talents in the same industry, facilitating the flow of information.
And the Physician’s League is the largest medical association in Sky Beyond the Skies.
"And then?"
"Then you’re coming with me to the Physician’s League!" Cha Wenliang said very naturally.
But Xue An shook his head, "No way!"
Cha Wenliang was a bit stunned, "Why not?"
"Nonsense, I’m not a physician, why should I go?"
"Of course, you’re going with me!"
"That makes it even more impossible!"
"Why’s that?"
"Because I’m not interested in doing things that offer no benefits!"
