Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 194: Anxious as if on Fire

Xia Mian smiled faintly, without saying a word.

Xia Weizhang’s expression remained unchanged, he only slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and calmly drank it in front of Xia Mian.

Xia Mian continued to smile slightly, her gaze lingered on Xia Weizhang’s face for a moment, then turned away.

Xia Weizhang did not continue to be polite, but simply drank his tea and chatted with Xia Mian about family matters, "Cousin, how have you been doing these years outside?"

Xia Mian’s lips curved slightly with a small smile, carrying a hint of sarcasm, "Are we that familiar?"

This man started out by calling her cousin, trying to get close, but she had no idea who he even was! Who’s his cousin!

Xia Weizhang was slightly taken aback, but his smile didn’t diminish at all, "Cousin, you just arrived at the Divine Clan, it’s understandable to feel a bit unfamiliar with us."

Xia Weizhang was from a side branch of the Divine Clan, but due to his excellent cultivation talent, he gradually gained the capacity to rival Xia Weiyang.

Over the years, Xia Weizhang and Xia Weiyang often clashed openly and secretly for the position of successor in the Divine Clan.

Unfortunately, due to his origins, Xia Weizhang always fell short compared to Xia Weiyang.

However, now with Xia Mian’s appearance, Xia Weizhang felt his opportunity had come.

"Since you are Uncle’s blood, you are part of the Divine Clan. In the future, you must stay with the Divine Clan, and over time, we will become more familiar." Xia Weizhang chuckled softly, his eyes narrowing slyly like a cunning fox.

Xia Mian squinted slightly and let out a light snort, ignoring Xia Weizhang.

Xia Weizhang’s expression changed imperceptibly again, a fierce flicker flashed in his eyes.

On the side, Lu Zechuan glanced at him softly, "We won’t be staying here long, you’re overthinking."

Xia Weizhang frowned, his tone displeased, "You think you can make decisions for my cousin? What are you to her?"

Lu Zechuan’s lips curled into a smug smile, "I’m her fiancé!"

Xia Weizhang’s eyebrows immediately twisted into a knot, "Fiancé?"

There was once an engagement between the Divine Clan and the Wood Clan, and because of it, Xia Weiyang always held a grudge, feeling that the Wood Clan had lost its status and wasn’t worthy of her. She wanted to secretly get rid of Lu Zechuan.

But now, Lu Zechuan said he was engaged to Xia Mian?

Is this fate playing tricks, that the ancestors of the Divine and Wood Clans don’t want their descendants to break the engagement?

"Yes, fiancé." Lu Zechuan extended his hand, enclosing Xia Mian’s hand in his, as if declaring his sovereignty.

Xia Mian was amused by this simple gesture from Lu Zechuan, unable to suppress a slight curl of her lips, smiling.

Her smile was as resplendent as a clear sky, and her vibrant spirit dazzled Xia Weizhang’s eyes.

"Cousin, honestly, the one with the engagement isn’t you, you deserve better," Xia Weizhang implied.

Xia Mian’s gaze turned cold instantly, "It’s none of your business!"

In her eyes, Lu Zechuan was the best!

Once again rebuffed by Xia Mian, Xia Weizhang’s face lost some of its composure.

His expression darkened, he picked up the teacup from the table, and silently drank a couple of sips, no longer addressing Xia Mian.

Xia Mian chose to associate with the remnant of the Wood Clan, that was her choice; don’t blame him for not warning her!

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan sat for a while longer, but the three elders did not return, and Xia Mian couldn’t sit still any longer.

"Let’s go find them ourselves!" Xia Mian said, standing up.

It had been over an hour since Song Juan went missing, pretending not to worry was a lie.

Although intuition told her that Song Juan would be fine, what if?

Every minute and second that Song Juan was out of her sight, something unexpected could happen!

Seeing Xia Mian stand up, Xia Weizhang also got up, "Cousin, calm down, the three elders will return soon, you’re not familiar with the Divine Clan, rushing out recklessly could lead to trouble..."

Xia Mian didn’t heed Xia Weizhang’s kind words, taking Lu Zechuan’s hand and stepping out the door.

Ding Cheng, who was casually watching the scene unfold, also leisurely stood up and unhurriedly sauntered out after them.

Xia Weizhang’s eyes narrowed tightly, revealing a trace of coldness.

This Xia Mian really considered herself the Divine Clan’s young lady!

If it weren’t for the urgent need to dethrone Xia Weiyang, he wouldn’t bother faking cordiality with this woman of unknown origin!

Xia Weizhang had promised the three elders to take care of Xia Mian, he certainly couldn’t let her roam the Divine Clan’s territory alone.

So, with a dark expression and unwilling heart, he stood up.

The Divine Clan’s territory may appear calm on the surface, but is filled with hidden mysteries. Xia Mian, having never been to the Divine Clan before, wandering around is no different than a headless fly.

Ding Cheng slowly followed behind Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, kindly offering a suggestion for once, "The Divine Clan is full of traps, I suggest you wait patiently for news."

Xia Mian turned to look at her, "Why should I listen to your advice?"

Xia Mian had little fondness for Ding Cheng; for the sake of profit, she could disregard familial bonds, let alone when they weren’t related at all!

With those words, Xia Mian ignored Ding Cheng and left the courtyard with Lu Zechuan, heading outside.

Ding Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly, this girl had quite a stubborn temper.

"If you insist on searching yourself, you could check out the back mountain of the Divine Manor," Ding Cheng lazily suggested, tagging along behind them.

Xia Mian tilted her head to glance at her, "Why are you telling me this?"

"The young lady of the Divine Clan didn’t uphold her end of the bargain, so I can’t let her have her way either." Ding Cheng snorted lightly, "It’s best if your mother is fine, but if something happens to her, I’ll make sure the Divine Clan’s young lady pays!"

Ding Cheng’s bizarre thought process genuinely surprised Xia Mian.

Was Ding Cheng an enemy or an ally?

Her stance seemed a bit fickle!

After finishing, Ding Cheng didn’t mind the shock she might have caused Xia Mian, and continued to leisurely loiter behind Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, "If you plan to find them, I advise you to hurry, the back mountain of the Divine Manor isn’t exactly peaceful..."

As Ding Cheng’s words fell, Xia Mian’s gaze instantly turned sharp.

"You’re familiar with this place, huh?" Xia Mian remarked, and with a slight move of her fingers, Ding Cheng felt her body immobilize at that moment, her neck grabbed by Xia Mian from a distance.

"Since you’re so familiar, hurry up and lead the way!" Xia Mian commanded, throwing Ding Cheng forward forcefully.

Ding Cheng was flung to the ground but showed no anger, instead, she calmly got up, nonchalantly brushing off the dust from her hands.

"Alright, I’ll lead you there," Ding Cheng said, taking the lead.
