Hearing Xu Nanzhi’s words, Su Chengyu hastily responded, "You and Jiang Yuyan are naturally different. Even if Yuyan had only betrayed our love, although I have resentments, I wouldn’t seek revenge on her. But her intentions are malicious, she tried to get me killed several times, greedily embezzled my grandfather’s heritage. Her actions as such wicked woman, are unforgivable."
Xu Nanzhi laughed cynically and said, "No need to comfort me, although I’m not married to Hong Zhen Ting, the things that happened between us makes me look like an immoral woman in the eye of society."
Su Chengyu was secretly shocked, Xu Nanzhi and Hong Zhen Ting were not husband and wife?
However, Su Chengyu quickly came to terms with it. For Hong Zhen Ting, a wedding certificate was meaningless, he utterly didn’t care about such conventions.
"Aunt Xu, why do you have to say that? Even if there is a stigma in the future, I, Su Chengyu will bear it."
Su Chengyu didn’t want Xu Nanzhi to belittle herself.
"Enough, let’s not talk about this. I just want to remind you, don’t trust others easily. Even me, I’m not deserving of your absolute trust." Xu Nanzhi pursed her lips and said.
"Whether you’re trustworthy, I’ll make that decision in my heart. Aunt Xu, let me check your body first."
After Su Chengyu’s treatment, Xu Nanzhi could clearly feel her condition improving. If she hadn’t experienced it herself, it would be hard to believe that such a miraculous medical technique existed in the world.
"After three or four more treatments, you should be fully recovered."
Su Chengyu’s face broke into a smile. Xu Nanzhi turned around, to see Su Chengyu’s complexion pale, sweat gleaming on his forehead.
"Does healing me cause you harm?" Xu Nanzhi asked.
Su Chengyu scratched his mouth into a smile and said, "No! It just consumes some of my mana, making me look tired. I just need to meditate and absorb some of nature’s spiritual energy to replenish my mana, and I’ll recover in no time."
"It’s getting late, I can’t stay out too long." Xu Nanzhi said.
"If you have time to come out tomorrow, let Liu Yan know. You don’t need to come here anymore, go to the apartment building next to the bar." Su Chengyu said.
But Xu Nanzhi shook her head, "Every time I go out, Hong Zhen Ting has people following me in secret. Ostensibly it’s for my protection, but it is also surveillance."
"Hong Zhen Ting really is suspicious enough. But rest assured, you give me the door code, I can sneak in undetected, no one will find me, have you forgotten that I can cast spells?" Su Chengyu said.
Nodding, Xu Nanzhi got up to leave.
"Hmm?" As Xu Nanzhi turned her back, Su Chengyu pulled her into his embrace.
"I really can’t bear to let you go. I want to be with you every day." Su Chengyu said in a deep voice.
"Give me some time and soon I’ll have the strength to defeat Ren Qianzhong. At that time, no one will be able to stop us from being together."
Xu Nanzhi could feel Su Chengyu’s intense emotions, and her heart was equally pounding, her hands resting on Su Chengyu’s shoulders.
"Su Chengyu, you are a cultivator, your future is vast and wide, whereas I’m just an ordinary woman, our paths are ultimately..."
Su Chengyu put his hand on Xu Nanzhi’s lips, preventing her from continuing.
"The reason I told you about my identity as a cultivator is not to make you have such thoughts. This train of thought is too idiotic, not something Aunt Xu, in my heart, should be thinking about."
"So you don’t mind? I am after all Hong Zhen Ting’s woman. Do you not have any misgivings?" Xu Nanzhi countered.
"Absolutely not! I swear I don’t. I’m also a divorced man. Before that, I was a laughingstock, but you didn’t look down on me, did you?"
Su Chengyu was not so petty, he never held it against Xu Nanzhi for having been another man’s woman.
Hearing this, Xu Nanzhi felt joy in her heart, she softly said, "Then I’ll share a secret with you."
"That night, it was my first time." As Xu Nanzhi spoke, she seemed a little shy.
"How could that be? Hong Zhen Ting..." Su Chengyu was shocked.
"In the past, Hong Zhen Ting was injured and could not engage in intimate relations. For so many years, he’s never touched me. That’s why he’s so suspicious and keeps a close eye on me. I suppose that’s his greatest insecurity."
There were very few people who knew this secret of Hong Zhen Ting’s.
"Hong Zhen Ting once said that even if he couldn’t truly own me, he wouldn’t let another man touch me."
Su Chengyu casually said, "Anyway, I don’t care about your past. This secret is insignificant to me."
Su Chengyu’s words touched Xu Nanzhi’s heart even more. At this moment, she felt she had truly opened her heart to Su Chengyu.
She silently told herself that this man before her was worth her devotion. For the rest of her life, no matter what hardships lie ahead, she would choose him.
"Do you truly believe what I told you?" Xu Nanzhi asked.
"Of course, I trust what you said. Plus, like I said earlier, it doesn’t matter."
"Aren’t you curious why there was no blood on that night?"
