illicit relationship

Instead of answering Xiao Tian's question, Lan Ruoxi looked at Crystal and inquired, "Crystal, he wants you so badly, so how about you become his real lover now? He is young, successful, attractive, and skilled in martial arts. He is a perfect candidate to be a lover."

Lan Ruoxi knew that Xiao Tian and Crystal were only fake lovers because she overheard their conversation when Xiao Tian and Crystal revealed everything to Yu Shi.

"Not you too, Miss Lan." Crystal was startled by Lan Ruoxi's words. She did not expect that she wanted to match her with Xiao Tian too. "We just became friends not too long ago, so it's too soon for us to become lovers."

"Ho, too soon, huh?" actually, Lan Ruoxi was a little surprised by Crystal's words. "Does that mean you agree to be his lover in the future?"

Crystal could not answer it. Previously, she said what she had in mind without thinking twice, so she only realized what she had just said to Lan Ruoxi.

Lan Ruoxi turned her head towards Xiao Tian and spoke, "Young master Xiao, it seems like you will have an assassin lover in the future."

At this moment, Xiao Tian did not say anything and only stared at Crystal. The reason why he never seduced Crystal was that he was the one who wanted them to be friends.

Of course, he said he wanted them to be friends because they were enemies in the past. It would be strange if he suddenly wanted them to be lovers.

If they were not enemies in the past, Xiao Tian would say something else. At this moment, Xiao Tian and Crystal looked at each other without saying a word.

Xiao Tian could not behave like usual because the history of their relationship was quite complicated and unique.

Because the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Lan Ruoxi immediately spoke, "Let's go home now. I have something to do later."

"All right." Xiao Tian and Crystal replied in unison.

"What? You want to go home after getting the sword?! Where is your manner?" Lian Xun pretended to be annoyed.

"Elder Lian, we will definitely come again if we have free time." Lan Ruoxi answered instantly, "We love the scenery around your house, so of course, we will come to your house again in the future."

"Fine." Actually, Lian Xun only wanted to spend time with his disciple, but he could not say it.

After sending Lan Ruoxi home, Xiao Tian and Crystal immediately left.

"It seems like you are very happy now," Crystal spoke abruptly. "You even keep smiling."

Currently, Xiao Tian and Crystal were in his car.

"Yes." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.

"So, now you ca-" Crystal stopped her words halfway when her stomach suddenly growled.

'So embarrassing!'

Crystal lowered her head.

"Hehe. Let's find something to eat." actually, Xiao Tian was also starving because they had not eaten anything since morning.

"Alright." Because Crystal was hungry, she agreed instantly.

"Where do you want to eat?" Xiao Tian inquired.

Coincidently, Crystal saw a street vendor that had a lot of customers.

Crystal instantly pointed her right index finger at the street vendor and spoke, "Let's eat at that street vendor."

"All right." Actually, Xiao Tian was startled by her choice.

Usually, people would choose to eat at a famous restaurant, but Crystal did not do that. She chose to eat at a street vendor without caring about her image.

After parking the car, Xiao Tian and Crystal headed to the street vendor.

When the owner of the street vendor saw Xiao Tian and Crystal, she smiled, "Are you two hungry after the date?"

Xiao Tian and Crystal were stunned by the owner of the street vendor's words.

'How can she have thoughts like this? Do we look like a couple?'

Xiao Tian and Crystal exchanged a glace with each other.

"Young man, you should cherish your lover and never hurt her feelings." the owner of the street vendor uttered, "Your girlfriend is so gorgeous, but she did not complain when you brought her here. Usually, a young lady as pretty as her only wants to eat at a fancy restaurant. That's why you should cherish her."

"Thank you for the advice, elder." Xiao Tian thanked the owner of the street vendor.

"So what do you want to eat?" the elder inquired.

Xiao Tian looked at Crystal and inquired, "What do you want to eat, Crystal?"

After looking at the menu, Crystal replied, "I want lemon tea and grilled chicken."

Xiao Tian then returned his attention to the owner of the street vendor and spoke, "Elder, please give me two lemon teas and grilled chicken."

"All right." The elder replied.

Xiao Tian and Crystal instantly looked for an empty seat. After waiting for several minutes, the elder came with their orders in her hands.

After consuming the food, Xiao Tian spoke, "Crystal, how about we go for a walk in the park before going home?"

There was a park twenty meters from the street vendor. That was why Xiao Tian suddenly wanted to stroll in the park.

"All right." Crystal nodded.

After paying for the food, Xiao Tian and Crystal walked towards the park. As they were strolling in the park, Crystal suddenly saw a little girl around ten years old crying near the fountain.

Crystal rushed towards the little girl and inquired, "Little girl, why are you crying? Where are your parents?"

Xiao Tian, who was standing near Crystal, skimmed his surroundings.

'Where are her parents?'

Xiao Tian then squatted down in front of the little girl.

"Little girl, tell this big brother where are your parents?" Xiao Tian inquired.

The little girl looked at Xiao Tian and Crystal. "I don't know…sob…sob… I was with my mother earlier, but I don't know where my mother is now. Sob…Sob…"

Xiao Tian and Crystal exchanged a glance with each other.

'Let's help this little girl first.'

As if they could communicate through their eyes, Xiao Tian and Crystal nodded their heads at the same time.

Xiao Tian then held the little girl's right hand and spoke, "Let's find your mother together."

"Sob…alright…Sob…Sob…" the little girl replied while still crying.

"Little girl, what is your name?" Crystal inquired.

"Mu Ai." Mu Ai replied.

"Little Ai, what is your mother's name? And what kind of clothes does your mother wear?" Crystal asked questions about Mu Ai's mother because it would be hard to find Mu Ai's mother if they didn't know anything about her.

"My mother's name is Long Jingxian." Mu Ai responded, "She is wearing a blue jacket and white trousers."

"Little Ai, don't worry. We will find your mother later." Xiao Tian tried to calm Mu Ai.

"Un." Because Xiao Tian and Crystal were with her, Mu Ai stopped crying.

Then they began to look for Mu Ai's mother. However, Mu Ai suddenly stopped her footsteps.

Xiao Tian and Crystal were startled by her actions and stopped their footsteps in reflex.

'Did she see her mother?'

Xiao Tian and Crystal then looked in the direction that Mu Ai was looking at.

But because there were a lot of people in the area that Mu Ai was looking at, Xiao Tian didn't know whether one of them was Mu Ai's mother or not. "Little Ai, did you see your mother?"
