Chapter 1734 Side Story 2: Prime Master Yin Mingjue Pursues His Wife (3)



Xu Qingtian said in a muffled voice, "Dad."

Xu Langge's voice was crisp and elegant, like that of a ballerina. He said, "Tiantian, why aren't you home yet? Are you with your friends outside? Where are you and when are you coming back? I'll get the driver to pick you up. Why didn't you tell us that you were gathering with your friends?"

As Xu Qingtian listened, he became more and more disappointed.

He had been preparing for the art festival recently and had come to the school early this morning to assist the school. His parents only remembered that his brother was going on stage to perform tonight, but they didn't remember Xu Qingtian, who was helping out behind the scenes.

"I'll take a taxi back later." With that, Xu Qingtian hung up.

He was already used to being ignored.

In fact, from the day those respected artists said that he didn't have any artistic talent, the Xu family's attention had shifted away from him. Even his parents ignored him.

In this world, only his great-grandfather doted on him, protected him, and believed that he would definitely achieve great things in the future.

But he had already passed away.

Xu Qingtian looked up at the starry sky and couldn't help but kick away the stones on the ground as he said in a low voice, "Look up at the night sky. Everyone always wants to see the stars. Who cares about the dark sky?" Although the sky was big, it was destined to be the backdrop of the stars.

Xu Qingtian tightened his shoulder bag and walked back alone in the night.

"Hey."

A female voice sounded in front of Xu Qingtian.

He raised his head and narrowed his eyes as his gaze passed through the dark night and landed on the iron chair beside the sidewalk. A woman in a red dress was sitting alone on a bench. There was a golden chain belt wrapped around her bare waist. Her curly hair reached her shoulders, and her cherry-red lips were biting a cigarette as she looked at him with a smile.

There was a natural seductive charm about her, but she didn't seem vulgar.

Xu Qingtian stared at the woman's exposed waist and the chain belt for a moment.

In the next second, Xu Qingtian turned around and left.

Xu Qingtian secretly told himself: Hurry up and leave. Ignore this demoness.

He had never seen a girl more beautiful than this woman in his life. He heard that some demon beasts in the cultivation world could transform into humans, so he felt that this girl was very likely a snake demon.

Civilians had to stay away from demons if they didn't want to be sucked dry of Yang energy.

Jing Rujiu didn't expect Xu Qingtian to have this reaction.

Was she a poisonous snake?

Xu Qingtian had just turned around and taken two to three steps when he suddenly heard that charming woman say, "Isn't the sky beautiful tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingtian ignored Jing Rujiu and walked even faster.

The charming voice continued, "When people look up at the night sky, the first thing they see are indeed sparkling stars. However, the sky is all-encompassing. The stars, the moon, and the sun all exist under the sky. Young man, why undervalue yourself?"

Xu Qingtian finally stopped.

After he turned to look at the bench, he saw that the woman in the red dress had already stood up and was staring at him with a loving yet sad gaze.

"…You…" Xu Qingtian's heart suddenly ached for some reason.

The woman in red suddenly disappeared from the spot in the next second.

Xu Qingtian was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman disappear.

At that moment, he felt as if a piece of his heart had been broken.

He didn't want her to leave!

Xu Qingtian ran towards the bench. As he stood where the woman had stood earlier, he felt disappointed.

He muttered softly, "She disappeared again…"

"Are you looking for me?" The female voice suddenly sounded from behind Xu Qingtian.

Xu Qingtian turned around in shock and almost kissed the face that was inches away.

As he lowered his eyes and looked at the woman's beautiful face, Xu Qingtian's heart suddenly raced. The 15-year-old Xu Qingtian had never experienced such a feeling before. He subconsciously took a step back and his calf hit the bench. Amidst his carelessness, he fell on the chair.

Xu Qingtian was instantly much shorter than the woman.

The woman in the red dress looked down at him with a meaningful smile on her lips as she deliberately teased Xu Qingtian, "Are you looking for me?"

Xu Qingtian bit his lip and refused to speak.

He thought that the woman had disappeared, but he didn't expect her to be there the entire time.

"You're not human?" Thinking of the ambiguity of his words, Xu Qingtian changed his words and said, "You're not a civilian. Are you a demon beast? Or a Beast Tamer?"

The woman in the red dress's answer was as mysterious as her smile. "Try guessing."I think you should take a look at

With that, the woman in the red dress turned around and left.

Xu Qingtian suddenly stood up and chased after her. Then, he grabbed the woman's wrist.

After Jing Rujiu turned around and stared at her wrist that was being held tightly by Xu Qingtian, she smiled playfully and teased Xu Qingtian. "Little buddy, you're still underage. I'm not interested in underage kids." Jing Rujiu took his hand away and left without hesitation this time.

Xu Qingtian suddenly shouted at her back, "Two years ago, on the day my grandfather passed away, I received news and rushed home from school. In order to see my grandfather one last time, I urged the driver to drive faster and almost collided with a truck at a turn. The driver lost control and we fell into the river with the car. That day, I saw a woman in red in the river."

Xu Qingtian stared at Jing Rujiu's slender waist and the golden chain belt on her slender waist as he said, "I remember it." Xu Qingtian held the maple leave pendant with the waist chain as he said, "Golden maple leaves, you saved me that day, right?" He had held this maple leaf before, so he wouldn't forget it.

Jing Rujiu was surprised.

Two years ago, when she saved Xu Qingtian, he had already fainted from choking on water.

It seemed that he was still conscious at that time.

"Guess." Jing Rujiu refused to tell him the truth. She liked to play hard to get and pique his curiosity, but she didn't want him to guess the truth.

Xu Qingtian said firmly, "It was you."

"Heh…"

Jing Rujiu only smiled.

She suddenly raised her hand and stroked Xu Qingtian's forehead. "Xu Qingtian, the sky is vast, so how can the stars compare to you? They can only see the radiance of the stars, but there will always be people who admire you for being all-encompassing. Don't feel sad, okay?"

Xu Qingtian frowned. "Do we know each other?"

Jing Rujiu smiled mischievously as she pressed her fingers on Xu Qingtian's thin lips and blinked playfully. As if joking, she said, "Yes, I'm your wife."

At that moment, the Xu family's driver drove over.

Jing Rujiu said to Xu Qingtian, "We'll meet again." With that, she disappeared from the spot.

Xu Qingtian reached out to grab her, but he didn't grab anything.

After he pressed his palm on his forehead and felt the warmth of the mysterious woman's fingertips, his heart suddenly raced.

"Young Master, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were still in school. Hurry up and get in the car." The driver thought that Xu Qingtian had gone home with Xu Langge and his wife. Previously, Xu Langge had called him and asked why Xu Qingtian wasn't home yet. Only then did he know that Xu Langge and his wife didn't wait for Xu Qingtian.

Others didn't know, but the driver was a bodyguard that the old man had found for Xu Qingtian. He had watched Xu Qingtian grow up and knew very well how low Xu Qingtian's presence in the Xu family was.

Xu Qingtian got into the car.

As the car drove towards the Xu family's house, Xu Qingtian was writing on a piece of paper with a pen. It was unknown what he was drawing. When the driver saw Xu Qingtian drawing through the rearview mirror, his eyes darted around a few times before he asked curiously, "Young Master, is that lady from before your friend?"

Xu Qingtian suddenly raised his head and stared at him with a bright gaze.

The driver was caught off guard.

"I…" Did he ask something he shouldn't have?

Xu Qingtian asked him, "You saw her too just now?"

The driver nodded. "I didn't see her clearly. I only saw a figure in a red dress."

Xu Qingtian smiled and said, "So she really exists." He thought that she was an illusion.

The driver didn't understand what Xu Qingtian meant.

Xu Qingtian stared at the waist chain blueprint on the laptop and suddenly said, "Mr. Dong, is it difficult to become a Beast Tamer?"

Mr. Dong was stunned.

"Eldest Young Master." After Mr. Dong deliberated over it, he said, "The Xu family has never produced a Beast Tamer." The Xu family had so many artistic geniuses, but there had never been a Beast Tamer.

It was very difficult to become a Beast Tamer.

Xu Qingtian suddenly turned off his laptop. As he stared at the flickering neon lights outside the window, he said in a low voice, "I want to be a Beast Tamer."

Mr. Dong was so frightened that he stopped the car by the roadside.

He turned around and looked at Xu Qingtian as he asked hesitantly, "Why do you suddenly want to become a Beast Tamer?" The key was that the Beast Tamer profession was such a noble profession. Was a Beast Tamer something that one could become just because one wanted to?

If one's artistic talent wasn't good, one could still learn. Diligence could make up for one's shortcomings.

However, becoming a Beast Tamer wasn't something that could be achieved through hard work.

Jing Rujiu's figure appeared in Xu Qingtian's mind. He couldn't help but reach out to touch his forehead and mutter, "My wife is in the cultivation world and waiting for me to look for her."

Xu Qingtian had a strong intuition that the mysterious woman in the red dress had a deep connection with him. She looked at him with unconcealable affection, and his heart would ache whenever he faced her.

He didn't believe that there was nothing between them.
