Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Almost Caught Cheating? _1

Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, and Zhu Qing looked at Zhang Xian with a sense of bafflement.

Was this guy running a high fever? Talking about immortality was one thing, but teaching them cultivation, did he take them for three-year-old kids?

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Zhang Xian sat down next to the sofa and said, "Surely you don’t think I’m just making things up and trying to deceive you with these impossible anecdotes?"

"Somewhat." Mo Shaoyun didn’t believe in immortality.

In her view, Zhang Xian was definitely making up a story to lure them into achieving his goal.

"Well, if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do, let’s drop the subject for now."

Zhang Xian said, "I came today to ask you what your plans are. What would make you agree to move to Lingxiao Villa and live with us? You already know about the issues between Xie Wuming and me. If I oppose him again, I can’t guarantee he won’t do something out of line. That guy is always crafty, executing any means necessary to achieve his goals."

"Xie Wuming won’t really harm us, will he?" Xiao Nan said.

Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Qing agreed too. Zhang Xian had come several times before, and each time they gave the same answer. Xie Wuming was after all the Underground Emperor, he had to save face, didn’t he?

Not involving family members was a rule of the Jianghu. As a major figure in the underworld, would Xie Wuming deliberately break this rule?

"Apart from this, do you have any other reasons?" Zhang Xian asked frustratedly, "Every time I’ve come here, you insist that Xie Wuming won’t harm you. I just wonder, if Xie Wuming can force people to poison us at Lingxiao Villa even before he’s completely out of options, do you really think he’d hold onto any sense of Jianghu integrity once he becomes desperate?"

Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, and Zhu Qing remained silent.

Previously, they really believed Xie Wuming wouldn’t hurt them. But recalling the incident at Lingxiao Villa, they felt unsure.

"Not so certain anymore, are you?"

Zhang Xian chuckled, "You’re all so attractive, be careful not to end up kidnapped and abused, then killed. When that happens, it will be too late for regrets."

"No...no way, right?" Mo Shaoyun and the other two girls were considerably frightened.

Zhang Xian asked, "What do you think?"

Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, and Zhu Qing exchanged glances, witnessing terror in each other’s eyes.

If there were indeed degenerate men among them, their fate after being caught would not be good. But they were unwilling to move over just like that, and always planned to take revenge on Zhang Xian.

"I’ve said everything that needs to be said, the decision to move or not now depends on you."

Seeing that the girls were silent, Zhang Xian seized the moment to say, "If you get caught, although I couldn’t stand by and do nothing, I would be unable to stop them if they wanted to harm you."

"Well..." Mo Shaoyun wanted to move now, but didn’t know how to broach the subject, feeling that compromise was a loss of face.

Seeing that Mo Shaoyun was scared, Zhang Xian stood up and said, "Think about it! I have things to attend to and need to go back early. Once you decide to move, just call me. But I would advise you to make a decision sooner rather than later. Xie Wuming suffered a big loss today, he might hold a grudge and want to use you to threaten me. Once such a thing happens, the consequences could be very serious."

"Hey...aren’t you leaving us here, Zhang Xian? What should we do?" Zhu Qing asked, grabbing Zhang Xian’s arm.

Zhang Xian said, "I want to help you, but if you don’t agree to move, what can I do? Do you expect me to guard you here?"

"Who...who said we don’t want to move?" Zhu Qing said.

Zhang Xian looked at Mo Shaoyun and asked, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, have you agreed to move too? If we all live together, I guess even Xie Wuming would hesitate to act arrogant in my house."

Mo Shaoyun didn’t dare not move, she nodded and said, "I...I agree to move as well."

Zhang Xian was delighted. He did not think that a little scare would get Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Qing to agree. He quickly said, "What are you still waiting for then? Start packing your things!"

Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Qing shared a look before turning to run upstairs.

Xiao Nan walked over to Zhang Xian, wearing a smile that wasn’t one. She asked, "Zhang Xian, were you trying to scare them just now?"

"Hehe, I won’t deny that I had such an intention."

Zhang Xian grinned and said, "But do you think Xie Wuming wouldn’t make a move? I don’t think so. You staying outside worries me a bit."

"Fair enough..."

Xiao Nan nodded and said, "That Xie Wuming, he’s indeed pretty sly."

...

That night, inside a villa on the top of Lingxiao Hill.

Seeing Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, and Zhu Qing finally arriving, Dong Qian was overjoyed. It wasn’t easy to gather them all together after such a long time!

Over the past month, Zhang Xian visited Mo Shaoyun several times, but she and Zhu Qing adamantly refused to move.

"Well done, now everyone’s here."

Fu Meiting crossed her arms and smiled at Zhang Xian, "I must admit, you have some skills! You’re actually able to get Mo Shaoyun, Zhu Qing, and Xiao Nan, the three great beauties, to come over."

Zhang Xian raised an eyebrow, quite pleased. However, he didn’t dare to brag, afraid that Mo Shaoyun would suddenly change her mind.

This woman couldn’t take any stimulation; even a tiny bit could change the outcome of a situation.

Xiao Nan was fine. She didn’t find anything wrong with it.

Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Qing were a bit awkward. However, they had to move. If they really were caught by that old man Xie Wuming, it wouldn’t be a joke. They dared not gamble.

"Come on, I’ll help you move your things upstairs." Zhang Xian smiled and picked up the luggage of Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, and Zhu Qing and headed upstairs.

Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Qing followed quickly, as if running for their lives, afraid to linger in the living room for even a second longer.

"Elder Sister Shaoyun..."

After bringing Zhu Qing and Xiao Nan’s luggage to their designated rooms, Zhang Xian went to Mo Shaoyun’s room, "The truth is that you really misunderstood my intentions."

Mo Shaoyun asked, "What are you referring to?"

"Isn’t it the incident where I didn’t contact you all, making you all think that you didn’t have a place in my heart?"

Zhang Xian said in frustration, "At that time, I didn’t want to hurt you anymore, it wasn’t that you didn’t have a place in my heart. Why did you and Qingqing insist on thinking that way?"

"Can we not talk about this?" Mo Shaoyun said, frowning.

With a bitter smile, Zhang Xian replied, "Can we not discuss it? You keep misunderstanding me, do you think it makes me feel good? We have to clear this up."

"Would it help?"

Mo Shaoyun replied, "Even if you put it in nicer words, I still wouldn’t know what you’re really thinking. So, it’s pointless to talk about it, everything we say would be in vain."

Upon hearing this, the corner of Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched in a rhythmic pattern.

Could it be that she had made up her mind not to forgive him? Could she please stop acting like this?

Ever since he learned about Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Qing’s deep feelings for him, he began to hold onto them tighter, unwilling to let go.

However, since Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Qing came to Tiandu, they have been keeping their distance from him, leaving him confounded. It seems that his relationship with Mo Shaoyun was going down the drain.

"You should go now, I need to tidy up." Mo Shaoyun said to Zhang Xian.

Left with no other choice, Zhang Xian exited the room looking depressed.

As thoughts rolled in his mind, he suddenly turned around and entered Xiao Nan’s room. There was no breakthrough with Mo Shaoyun, he might be able to get Xiao Nan to talk some sense into her.

"What’s up?" Xiao Nan turned her head to ask.

Zhang Xian hesitated for a moment before moving closer and embraced Xiao Nan tightly without any reservations.

"Huh..."

Xiao Nan struggled, "Zhang Xian, what are you doing going crazy again?"

Zhang Xian didn’t reply. Instead, he bent down and kissed Xiao Nan’s lips, his tongue fiercely breaking through her defenses and invading her warm mouth.

"Oh..."

Xiao Nan was shocked and struggled even more.

However, Zhang Xian’s grip was incredibly strong, and despite being not at full strength, she couldn’t break free. After a futile effort, without realizing it, she gave up resisting and started reciprocating the kiss.

Here they were, in the room, embracing and passionately kissing each other.

"Sister Nan, my bag..."

Suddenly, the door swung open and Mo Shaoyun stepped in.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xian quickly let go of Xiao Nan, creating a safe distance between them.

"Ah..."

Xiao Nan’s reaction was not as fast as Zhang Xian. Seeing Mo Shaoyun suddenly enter, she was shocked, her face turned white.

"Sister Nan, what’s wrong?" Mo Shaoyun, who didn’t catch the previous scene, asked in confusion, "Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?"

Xiao Nan, seeing that Mo Shaoyun had not noticed anything unusual, sighed in relief and replied, "It’s nothing."

"I have a bag here, right?" Mo Shaoyun asked.

Xiao Nan nodded, picked up a black bag from the bed and said, "Yes, it’s here, I was about to bring it to you."

Mo Shaoyun took the bag, furrowed her brow and looked at Zhang Xian, "What are you doing here? Are you thinking of helping Sister Nan tidy up her room?"

Zhang Xian smiled and replied, "Well... I wanted to help you originally, but since you declined, I thought I could assist Sister Nan."

"Really?" Mo Shaoyun asked, her brows knitted tightly.

Zhang Xian was stunned, and became suspicious whether Mo Shaoyun had seen something. Otherwise, why would she ask such a sudden question?

After a moment of hesitation, he chuckled and replied, "Isn’t that the truth? Or do you think it’s a lie?"

Xiao Nan’s face changed slightly. Seeing that Mo Shaoyun hadn’t reacted out of the ordinary, she let out another sigh of relief. From Mo Shaoyun’s expression, it wasn’t hard to tell that the previous incident had gone unnoticed.

"Carry on." Mo Shaoyun turned around and left.

After watching Mo Shaoyun leave, Zhang Xian chuckled, and once again pulled Xiao Nan into his arms.

Xiao Nan pushed Zhang Xian away and said, "Hey, what are you doing? Didn’t you notice that Shaoyun almost caught us just now? It would be fine if you had sorted things out with Shaoyun, but until you do, could you act more respectfully? Given the relationship between Shaoyun and me, do you think she would be happy if she found out we were sneaking around like lovers behind her back, before she even becomes your girlfriend?"

Zhang Xian laughed and said, "It doesn’t matter, I managed to escape just in time earlier."

Xiao Nan countered, "That was because she called out my name before entering the room. If she hadn’t called, would you have been able to dodge in time? If we were discovered, it wouldn’t be good for either of us."
