"Darling~, so many people want to force me to marry an old man. Are you going to eliminate them?"
Yan Meixu held a loving gaze as she embraced Yang Wei's arm, shocking Cui Gang and the rest for this development.
??
It was an unbelievable scene as they had heard the rumors that You Meixu, the madam of Flowery Restaurant never had a love interest.
Thus, they were all shocked and held a gawking expression when they saw how affectionate Yan Meixu was.
"W-What do you mean by dear, Yan Meixu?" Yang Wei suddenly asked her in a low tone as he tried to fling her arms off.
However, it seemed like Yan Meixu had become a viper that wrapped around his body the more he tried to fling her off.
"You said you would help me so are you planning on going back on your words?" Yan Meixu then said pitifully, hoping to make Yang Wei feel guilty about his current action.
"Stop hugging his arms and get off," Su Mingxia intervened as she said in an annoyed tone.
She had enough of Yan Meixu's behavior that kept on changing. It was almost like Yan Meixu had a bipolar personality.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYan Meixu ignored Su Mingxia's tone as she started touching Yang Wei's chest with her hand.
Yang Wei was getting a headache in this scenario. As much as he remembered, he had never shown any affection toward Yan Meixu except for their first meeting.
Thus, Yang Wei couldn't understand Yan Meixu's loving gaze at him.
"Hmph, Yan Meixu, do you know what you are doing right now?" Cui Gang suddenly shouted as he started walking up the stairs and saw Yan Meixu embracing Yang Wei.
"Wang Jang has become an elder for the Purple Scorpion Sect." Cui Gang continued as he informed Yan Meixu about Wang Jang's current influence.
'Purple Scorpion Sect?' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as the sect name was familiar to him.
"Purple Scorpion Sect… do you mean the sect that specializes in poison?" Yang Wei suddenly turned around while having two women in both his arms as he asked Cui Gang.
"Since you heard about the Purple Scorpion Sect then you should know that the Ling City cannot offend such a powerhouse." Cui Gang snorted as he thought Yang Wei was some country bumpkin based on his clothes.
"Cui Gang, you should watch your mouth when you speak to my darling~' Yan Meixu interrupted Cui Gang as she became possessive of Yang Wei.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei felt a chill when he heard Yan Meixu calling him darling.
'Woman, we just met yesterday… We are not even that close.' Yang Wei cried inwardly as he wanted to explain that he was innocent.
However, the current situation didn't allow him to as he knew contradicting Yan Meixu would make the situation more complicated.
"Hmph, whether you are a couple or not, the City Lord has already ordered that you must marry Wang Jang." Cui Gang shrugged his shoulders as he raised his hand up.
The guards that were stationed downstairs saw the signal as they all rushed upstairs and surrounded Yan Meixu, Yang Wei, and Su Mingxia.
Yang Wei suddenly started laughing as he remembered the Purple Scorpion Sect and how he killed one of their renowned sect elders, Elder Du Hanli.
"Did your mind go crazy?" Cui Gang sneered as he thought Yang Wei became frightened from their imposing aura.
"Hahaha, so it was the Purple Scorpion Sect that made you all afraid huh?" Yang Wei continued to laugh as he brushed Su Mingxia and Yan Meixu's hands aside.
Afterward, he walked toward and smiled evilly at Cui Gang as he retrieved something from his storage ring.
Cui Gang was confused by Yang Wei's action but allowed him to struggle one last time as they were going to snatch his lover.
Sometime later, Yang Wei found the item he wanted as he took it out and showed Cui Gang something.
Cui Gang was about to scoff at the item that Yang Wei was trying until he paid closer attention to it.
His pupil constricted as he stared at the token that Yang Wei was holding.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"H-How did you have that token?" Cui Gang asked as his breathing became heavy.
He has gone into shock as the token that Yang Wei was holding represented a great elder in the Purple Scorpion Sect.
Yang Wei smirked inwardly as he praised himself for keeping the token in his storage ring.
After all, the Purple Scorpion Sect wouldn't announce to the entire world that one of their great elders has died in the mystery realm as it would not only harm their reputation but it would also allow other sects to target them.
A great elder wasn't someone you can find anywhere in the street and losing one would cause massive damage to their forces.
Thus, Cui Gang was ignorant to know that Elder Du Hanli had long been dead in the mystery realm and still believed he was alive in the Purple Scorpion Sect.
"W-What is your relationship to the great elder in the Purple Scorpion Sect?" Cui Gang asked as he made sure his guards also heard him so that they wouldn't make any mistakes.
Cui Gang needed to confirm if Yang Wei truly has a relationship with the Purple Scorpion Sect or not.
After all, Wang Jang was only accepted to be an elder in the Purple Scorpion Sect whereas Yang Wei was holding a great elder token.
Yang Wei placed his hands at his hip and started acting haughtily.
"Originally, my master wanted me to stay low-key and avoid conflict while being outside of the sect. But who would have thought that there would be someone who wanted to snatch my woman using my master's sect." Yang Wei said in anger as he kicked Cui Gang in the stomach.
Cui Gang was about to retaliate as he refused to believe Yang Wei's words just because of a token.
However, he halted his movement when he noticed Yang Wei was holding a smooth and round pill in his hand.
"Heh, I knew you wouldn't believe my words blindly but I'm sure you heard of our sect's specialty, the Toxic Smoke." Yang Wei exclaimed as he played around with the Toxic Smoke.
