Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 462: Deserved Retribution

It seems she didn’t misjudge him.

The words of Xie Huang and Sun Yang also set the tone for tonight’s event.

Han Xi’s death had nothing to do with Xia Mian; Xia Mian was defending this world, exorcising evil spirits.

Han Xi’s death didn’t cause much of a stir; she had been at odds with her family since childhood, lazy and accustomed to deceit. After being criticized and educated by her family, she not only didn’t repent but fell out with them.

To buy the couture dress she wanted, she even secretly took the family’s money, intended for her father’s medical treatment, causing Han’s father to die on the operating table because he couldn’t afford the medical bills...

Afterwards, to maintain her rich girl’s image, Han Xi even frequently exploited her elder brother and sister-in-law.

The Han Family had long been completely disappointed in Han Xi and hadn’t contacted her for years.

To the Han Family, such a rebellious daughter was gone and forgotten.

As for others, their relationship with Han Xi was merely a nodding acquaintance; none really had any life-and-death friendship with her.

As for her boyfriend, he couldn’t wait to distance himself from her...

At the foot of Baihua Mountain, two cars were parked, one brought by Xie Huang and Sun Yang, and the other by Xia Mian.

"Miss Xia, if you have time, come visit us!" Xie Huang smiled slightly at Xia Mian.

Xia Mian lowered her gaze slightly, "Okay."

Xia Mian roughly understood what exactly Xie Huang wanted to say to her.

The beings that appeared tonight didn’t seem to be from the Mystical World and were different from all the bizarre events Xie Huang and his group had encountered before. They must have noticed it too.

After bidding farewell to Xie Huang and Sun Yang, Xia Mian drove back to the Lu Family.

Even though it was already late in the night, the lights in the Lu Family’s living room were still on.

Xia Mian got out of the car and, upon entering, saw Lu Zechuan and Lu Zeming sitting opposite each other on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing Xia Mian enter, Lu Zeming looked up and smiled slightly at her, his smile clean with a hint of faint sadness.

"I brought Ah Ming back," Lu Zechuan said softly.

Xia Mian acknowledged with a hum, "Has your health improved?"

These words were directed at Lu Zeming.

Lu Zeming nodded, "Almost fully recovered."

He just felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, being imprisoned by his biological parents and sister, they were completely indifferent to his life or death; such cold family ties were worse than killing him.

Xia Mian didn’t mention much about what happened that day but gently said, "It’s late, go to bed early!"

Since Lu Zechuan brought Lu Zeming to stay at the Lu Family, it seemed he was determined to let Lu Zeming live here.

Temporarily keeping a distance from the family, not giving them a chance to cling to Lu Zeming again, was the only stopgap measure for Lu Zeming before he decided to break ties with his parents.

Lu Zeming smiled, "I’ll have to trouble you and my brother for a while."

As soon as he called her sister-in-law, Xia Mian blushed without realizing it.

After all, she and Lu Zechuan hadn’t even registered as a couple...

"I’m going upstairs," Xia Mian said hurriedly before making a quick retreat.

Watching Xia Mian’s fleeing figure, Lu Zechuan’s mood improved significantly, "Speaking of which, you should have a good love affair as well."

If parents and sister are unreliable, then find a partner you can rely on for the rest of your life!

However, Lu Zeming smiled faintly, "I’d better not."

With his kind of family, such parents, what girl would not be jumping into a pit of fire if she were with him?

He couldn’t bring himself to harm a good girl.

Lu Zechuan stood up, "You can continue to stay in your previous room, and I’ll have someone follow you for the time being."

Lu Zeming remained silent for a while, completely agreeing with Lu Zechuan’s arrangement.

When it came to his own family, he couldn’t speak or act, so he’d let Lu Zechuan handle everything for him!

...

When Lu Zechuan returned upstairs, Xia Mian had already finished washing up and was lying in bed.

Lying in bed, Xia Mian recounted the events of the night to Lu Zechuan.

After listening, Lu Zechuan simply held Xia Mian in his arms and said softly, "This is her retribution."

In the previous life, if Han Xi hadn’t interfered in Song Juan and Xia Jianguo’s marriage, neither Xia Mian nor Song Juan would have died.

In this life, Xia Mian avoided the tragic end for her and Song Juan. If Han Xi had any sense, she would have hidden away without making a move, but Han Xi was oblivious and jumped out to provoke things.

"Perhaps we thought things were too simple," Xia Mian sighed, "Those seeking to ravage this world may not be limited to only those from the Mystical World."

Lu Zechuan was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "For the unknown, we can only remain passive and adaptable."

He wasn’t a saint. He just wanted to live happily with the person he loved for the rest of his life.

As for unrelated people, he didn’t care whether they lived or died.

Before, he thought that these changes were caused by the space-time tunnel they created. Now it seemed that even without their creation, what was destined would still happen.

Xia Mian squinted gently, "You’re right."

Since they didn’t know where they came from, how many there were, or when they would come, worrying about these unknown matters would be worrying unnecessarily.

"Go to sleep," Lu Zechuan said softly, holding her in his arms.

Spring was coming soon, and he wondered how the wedding his grandfather arranged for him was going.

That night, Lu Zechuan didn’t sleep well; holding the one he loved, he didn’t dare make any moves. The feeling was almost too torturous.

Perhaps Lu Zechuan’s longing was too strong, as the next day, he received a message from the Mystical World.

The news was delivered by Ling Fei.

When Ling Fei arrived at the Lu Family, his face brimmed with joy.

In the Lu Family’s study, Lu Zechuan gazed at Ling Fei with a slight frown.

However, Ling Fei seemed unaware of Lu Zechuan’s discontent and gleefully said, "Young Master, great news!"

Lu Zechuan’s eyebrows relaxed, "Great news?"

"The Wood Clan Leader has almost completed preparing for your and Miss Xia’s wedding. The Young Master and Miss Xia can return to the Mystical World to hold the ceremony at any time," Ling Fei said with a simple, honest smile.

He was well aware of the Young Master’s feelings for Miss Xia.

He had been restraining himself for a long time, but Miss Xia was just about to reach adulthood; in this world, she wasn’t legally at the age for marriage.

But things were different in the Mystical World; in that world, as long as both parties were of the same heart and had reached adulthood, they could become Dao Companions.

"I understand," Lu Zechuan replied in a tone that was calm enough but with a hint of covert joy in his heart.

He wanted to give his beloved a grand wedding, to make her the happiest bride in the world.

"When do you plan to return?" Ling Fei asked curiously.

Lu Zechuan lowered his gaze, "I’ll discuss it with Mianmian, and we’ll see what she thinks about when to return."
