Chapter 47 Some Were Childhood Sweethearts, Xiao Wu Guessed

The next morning, including the bumpy day yesterday, Xu Han had not rested for two whole days and nights.

After all, he was still a mortal embryo, and the two days of unresting sleep made Xu Han's face pale.

After eating breakfast that Luo Yin had kindly delivered, Xu Han walked to the carriage and prepared to follow everyone on their way again.

Meng Shuge and Tong Tiexin , who were taking care of the horses, looked at Xu Han's pale face. At that time, they exchanged glances, and a smug smile appeared on their faces.

"Senior apprentice-brother Meng worked hard yesterday. Let junior apprentice-brother drive for you today." Luo Yin looked at the smiling Meng Shuge . He knew that he would have to use the same trick again today. He couldn't bear it anymore. He took a step forward and walked to the side of Meng Shuge . He said with a smile. At that time, he reached out to the reins of the horse and wanted to take it away from Luo Yin.

"Huh?" At that time, Meng Shuge vigilantly stretched out his hand to block Luo Yin . He narrowed his eyes and said, "As senior apprentice-brothers, I naturally have to help you fellow apprentice-brothers. Otherwise, how can I afford to call you senior apprentice-brothers?"

Then he turned to look at the pale Xu Han and asked with narrowed eyes, "Are you right, Brother Xu?"

Seeing that Meng Shuge was so aggressive, the sturdy Hu Daliang was somewhat enraged. He took a step forward and was about to say something, but Luo Yin stopped him.

Meng Shuge had entered the sect a few years earlier than them, and his cultivation was much higher. If the two of them really fought, they probably wouldn't be able to obtain any benefits. Moreover, Meng Shuge had that Tong Tiexin backing him, so there was no need for him to be so bored.

The faint smell of gunpowder was naturally detected by Tong Tiexin and the three female disciples, including Ye Hongjian . At that time, they all turned their heads to look over, their eyes filled with doubt.

"What's the matter?" Tong Tiexin frowned and asked. He had been focusing on Ye Hongjian for the past few days, so he naturally did not understand why there was a conflict between his three junior brothers.

"Nothing, nothing." Luo Yin smiled as he hurriedly dragged Hu Daliang into the carriage.

The compromise between the two made Meng Shuge 's expression even more grim. He shrunk his lips and looked at the two with disdain. Then, he turned to Xu Han and said coldly, "Please, Young Master Xu ."

The threat in his tone was not concealed at all.

However, when Xu Han heard this, his expression did not change at all because of the threat in Meng Shuge 's words.

He took a few steps forward, but when he arrived in front of Meng Shuge, he turned around and walked around the carriage of Meng Shuge to Tong Tiexin .

"Brother Xu?" Tong Tiexin was stunned, not knowing what Xu Han was doing.

"Hongjian." However, Xu Han did not even look at him. Instead, he raised his head and whispered to the carriage. His voice was incomparably gentle, and his address was extremely intimate.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Ye Hongjian stuck her head out and looked at the gentle Xu Han. Her heart skipped a beat, knowing that Xu Han would probably have to do something to counter Tong Tiexin and the others. She was willing to cooperate, widening her eyes at that time and blinking at Xu Han.

"Did you sleep well yesterday?" Xu Han asked.

"Yes, not bad." Ye Hongjian told the truth.

"But this mountain road is bumpy. I have to keep vigil every night. My body is already weak, so I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it in a few days." Xu Han said with a wronged expression.

This appearance in Tong Tiexin 's eyes instantly made him secretly sneer.

After all, Xu Han was so weak that he could only complain to a woman. After this, his image in Ye Hongjian 's heart would probably decline a little.

Thinking of this, Tong Tiexin couldn't help but smile. He wanted to speak at that time and say something sympathetic to Xu Han. Then, he had to take care of the vigil. With his cultivation at the Three Yuan Realm, not sleeping for a few days wasn't a big deal for him. As for the contrast between him and Xu Han, he believed that Ye Hongjian would definitely be able to clearly see who was her true husband.

"It's just that I still have to do a good job of what Big Brother Tong taught me. After all, it concerns everyone's safety, so I want Red Note to help me fall asleep the way I did when I was a child." However, before Tong Tiexin could complete her draft, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

Tong Tiexin 's heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat uneasy. He subconsciously asked, "How did you do it when you were a child?"

Ye Hongjian was also stunned. She had known Xu Han for less than half a month, so how could she know the method when she was young? It was Xu Han's nonsense, but Ye Hongjian was also interested at this moment. She wanted to see what tricks Xu Han was trying to use to deal with Tong Tiexin and the others, so she also looked at Xu Han silently.

"Oh, I'm ashamed." Hearing Tong Tiexin's question, Xu Han immediately turned to look at Tong Tiexin with a respectful and humble expression.

"Big Brother Tong has always known that my father and Lord Ye are close friends. I have known Hong Jian since we were young, so we were childhood sweethearts. At that time, we decided to marry each other privately for life. We agreed that I would not marry her and she would not marry me in this life." Xu Han said slowly with a happy expression.

However, Ye Hongjian did not know that Xu Han was actually so eloquent. In the end, she was a daughter's family. Being so casually fabricated by Xu Han, she was somewhat displeased. Her face was also a little red because of the anger in her heart, but she did not dare to explode. She could only lower her head and bite her gums. She secretly thought that if she found an opportunity, she must properly deal with this unrestrained disciple.

However, Ye Hongjian 's blushing expression was understood to be the shyness of a young girl when her love affair was just about to begin.

Tong Tiexin felt jealousy in his chest at that time. Every word in Xu Han's words was like a sharp sword piercing into his heart, making him wish he could tear Xu Han into pieces right now.

"Then what's your so-called method?" Tong Tiexin gritted his teeth and asked. At this moment, he was no longer able to maintain his usual elegant demeanor. The suppressed anger in his voice made others hear him clearly.

However, Xu Han still seemed as if he hadn't noticed. He smiled and continued, "Big Brother Tong, I have been weak since I was young. It is difficult for me to fall asleep at night. At that time, Red Note put my head on her lap and let me sleep on her lap. Strangely enough, it really cured my illness. Since then, it has been difficult for me to fall asleep. As long as I rest on her lap, I will be able to sleep peacefully."

Hearing this, Tong Tiexin 's expression still turned pig liver color, and it was extremely difficult to see.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration and anger that the thieves had publicized in public after his wife had been ruined.

He even needed to constantly remind himself that his current situation had suppressed the impulse in his heart to lift his sword and chop Xu Han into meat paste on the spot.

"Now that we're in the Central Plains and we're all on the official road, why would Brother Xu feel bumpy?" After a while, Tong Tiexin suppressed the jealousy in her heart and forced an ugly smile on her face.

"Is that so?" Xu Han looked at Meng Shuge , who also had an ugly expression on his face, and asked, "But Brother Meng's drive yesterday was extremely bumpy, making it difficult for me to fall asleep."

Meng Shuge 's heart skipped a beat. Knowing that Xu Han was doing this on purpose, he couldn't help but feel anger in his heart. His expression changed and he wanted to go forward and say something. However, just as he took this step, he met Tong Tiexin 's gaze that seemed to be about to spit out fire.

He was slightly stunned, but he had no choice but to withdraw his thoughts of teaching Xu Han a lesson. He knew that Tong Tiexin wanted to maintain his image in Ye Hongjian's heart, so he could secretly cause some problems. If he really wanted to make a move, Xu Han might not be their opponent, but Ye Hongjian would probably not let this happen. Meng Shuge suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, don't worry. The bumpy road yesterday was because it wasn't easy to walk. The road today is all official. Brother Xu can rest assured."

"Is that so?" Xu Han narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion.

Meng Shuge had already suffered several losses in Xu Han's hands, so he naturally wouldn't be fooled by Xu Han's appearance. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Naturally, how could I lie to you?"

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to explode. Otherwise, if Xu Han really caught the reason and got into Ye Hongjian 's car, Tong Tiexin 's temperament would probably not make him feel better.

At this time, Xu Han's goal had already been achieved. He did not have the mood to entangle himself with the two of them anymore. He casually said a few more words and followed Meng Shuge into the carriage.

On the other hand, Luo Yin and Hu Daliang , who had witnessed what had just happened, were stunned. At this moment, they suddenly realized that this youth, who was one or two years younger than them, was not as harmless as he looked on the surface. Perhaps it was not unreasonable for Ye Chengtai to betroth his precious daughter to Xu Han.

However, Xu Han had no time to care what the two of them were thinking in their hearts. He only smiled at the two of them and leaned against the side of the carriage, closing his eyes to recuperate.

He needed a good rest. Whether it was the vigil or fighting against the assassins that the Dark Asura Hall could send out at any time, it was not an easy task. He had to keep himself in a clear-headed state. With these two lessons, if Meng Shuge still refused to stop, then Xu Han would no longer play with him like he did now.

After all, the journey was far, and no one could tell if there would be any accidents along the way.

As for Tong Tiexin's dilemma, if it weren't for the special circumstances, Xu Han wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to it, much less compete with Tong Tiexin for Ye Hongjian 's sake.

Ye Hongjian 's thoughts were a little too heavy. Not to mention Xu Han's lack of interest in men and women, it was to that extent. He didn't dare to touch a woman whose thoughts were a little heavier than him, no matter how beautiful she was born.

As he thought of this, a sleepy intent assaulted him.

Xu Han put away his thoughts and fell asleep with the shaking of the carriage.
