Chapter 490 Messing With Noble Heirs

Before long, the restaurant door swung open, and in marched a parade of inheritors from various clans and families, accompanied by members of prestigious sects. Their faces were contorted with displeasure as they cast disdainful glances in Wang Jian's direction.

Wang Jian couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of their collective ire. "Seems like we have some uninvited guests," he remarked, his tone laced with amusement.

Shui Xueying's expression remained composed, but there was a flicker of annoyance in her eyes. She knew that trouble was brewing, but she refused to back down.

The group of inheritors approached their table with an air of arrogance, their voices dripping with disdain as they addressed Wang Jian.

"Who do you think you are, mingling with someone like Shui Xueying?" one of them sneered, his tone dripping with contempt.

Wang Jian raised an eyebrow, unfazed by their hostility. "Last time I checked, I have the right to dine wherever I please," he retorted, his voice calm and collected.

Shui Xueying shot him a grateful look, appreciating his unwavering support. She knew that Wang Jian wasn't one to back down from a challenge, and she was grateful to have him by her side.

But before she could intervene, the inheritors continued their tirade, their words growing more venomous with each passing moment.

"You're nothing but a lowly cultivator," another spat, his voice filled with scorn. "How dare you even think of pursuing someone as esteemed as Shui Xueying?"

Wang Jian's lips curled into a sardonic smile as he met their gazes head-on. "Ah, but love knows no boundaries, does it?" he replied, his tone laced with irony.

Shui Xueying watched the exchange with a mixture of amusement and frustration. She knew that these men's words were nothing but empty threats, but their disrespect still grated on her nerves.

With a sigh, she decided to step in, her voice firm and commanding. "Gentlemen, your behavior is unacceptable," she chided, her tone cutting through the tension like a knife. "If you continue to disrespect me and my guest, you'll be disrespecting the Shui Family as well."

The inheritors exchanged glances, clearly taken aback by her boldness. They hadn't expected Shui Xueying to defend Wang Jian so fiercely, and it left them feeling uncertain and uneasy.

But despite her warning, they refused to back down, their pride wounded by Wang Jian's audacity to stand beside Shui Xueying.

Wang Jian, however, remained unfazed by their posturing. He knew that their words were nothing but empty threats, and he refused to let them intimidate him.

"This is better than any entertainment I've seen in a long time," Wang Jian remarked, his voice filled with amusement.

Shui Xueying chuckled softly in agreement, her eyes twinkling with mirth. "Indeed," she replied, her tone light and carefree. "Who knew a simple challenge could cause such chaos?"

As the brawl raged on, Wang Jian and Shui Xueying continued to watch, content in the knowledge that they had orchestrated the perfect distraction. And as the heirs battled amongst themselves, their focus shifted away from Wang Jian, allowing him to slip away unnoticed.

With a satisfied smile, Wang Jian turned to Shui Xueying, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Shall we make our escape?" he asked, his voice tinged with excitement.

Shui Xueying nodded eagerly, her heart pounding with exhilaration.

Together, they slipped away from the chaos, their laughter echoing in the air as they disappeared into the night.

As they made their escape from the chaotic scene, Shui Xueying's laughter filled the air, a melodious symphony of excitement and amusement. She couldn't contain her joy at the spectacle they had just witnessed, and she turned to Wang Jian with sparkling eyes.

"Wang Jian, that was absolutely brilliant!" she exclaimed, her voice bubbling with laughter. "I've never seen anyone so effortlessly manipulate those prideful heirs before. You're truly audacious and fearless."

Wang Jian grinned in response, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "Oh, this was just the beginning," he replied, his voice tinged with excitement. "You haven't seen anything yet."

As they walked, Wang Jian took Shui Xueying's hand in his, his touch gentle yet firm. He squeezed her hand reassuringly, a silent promise that he would always protect her.

Shui Xueying couldn't help but feel a flutter of warmth in her chest at his gesture. She glanced up at him, her eyes softening with affection. "Thank you, Wang Jian," she murmured, her voice filled with gratitude. "But what will you do if those heirs decide to pursue this matter further? I may not be able to fend them all off for you."

Wang Jian chuckled softly, his gaze unwavering. "Don't worry about them," he replied confidently. "I'll handle it."

As they walked, they continued to converse, their words flowing easily between them. Wang Jian shared his plans to meet her the next day at a clothing shop, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he mentioned wanting to buy her a few dresses.

Shui Xueying couldn't suppress a smile at his suggestion, her cheeks flushing with excitement. "Are you sure you're not afraid of those noble heirs?" she asked teasingly. "They'll likely realize you were just toying with them and become even more furious when they see you with me again."

Wang Jian shrugged nonchalantly, his smile unwavering. "Let them be angry," he replied. "I'll deal with them when the time comes. I'll see you tomorrow at the clothing shop," he said, his voice filled with anticipation. "I have a few dresses in mind that I think would look stunning on you."

Shui Xueying's eyes lit up with excitement at the prospect of trying on new dresses, her smile widening at Wang Jian's words. "I can't wait!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with delight.

With a final squeeze of Shui Xueying's hand, Wang Jian bid her farewell and watched as she disappeared into her residence.
