Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 183: Many suitors

I looked at Liu Ao Xue with a stunned look for a bit as I tried to figure out what she meant by this.

But no matter how I looked at her, I just couldn’t understand what she meant.

After all, I had no idea who she even wanted me to beat up.

Seeing the look on my face, Liu Han elaborated by saying, "There’s a rumour that’s being spread across the various sects. It’s a rumour about you and my daughter."

I looked at him with an even more confused look when I heard this since it didn’t seem to make any sense why he would be talking about something like this. After all, what he should be talking about was the alchemy tournament, or at least something related to it.

Liu Han didn’t hurry up when he saw the way that I looked at him, he even slowed down as if he was hesitating over something.

So before he could say anything, Murong Yan said, "It’s a rumour that you and my daughter are together."

All of us turned to look at her.

I was surprised since I didn’t notice her arrival, but then I asked, "Is there a problem with that? Isn’t it just the truth?"

Murong Yan revealed a faint smile when she heard this before saying, "It’s not a problem, but there is something that needs to be addressed."

She walked over to Liu Ao Xue’s side and took her in her arms before saying with a proud smile, "You have to know how popular my daughter is."

I was stunned the moment that I heard this.

After all, the last thing that I expected was to hear her bragging about Liu Ao Xue.

There was an awkward look that appeared on Liu Ao Xue’s face when she heard this as she turned away from me.

It looked like Liu Han wanted to say something, but he fell silent after a look from Murong Yan.

There was a moment of silence as I slowly began putting the two together.

For Murong Yan to talk about how popular Liu Ao Xue was at a time like this, there was only one explanation...

"The ones that are coming are those that professed their love for Liu Ao Xue, right?"

Murong Yan gave a nod while Liu Ao Xue lowered her head as if she was ashamed of something.

Seeing this, I understood what Liu Ao Xue meant by what she said earlier.

It seemed that she wanted me to take care of all the people who swarmed around her like bugs to honey.

Though I was happy to see that she didn’t want anything to do with them, there was a part of me that felt strange hearing about all of these people that wanted to chase after her.

I looked at Liu Ao Xue and asked, "How many of them are there?"

Liu Ao Xue didn’t say anything as she lowered her head even more after hearing this.

Murong Yan on the other hand was more than happy to give that information.

"Let me think about it...There’s those two from the Taixu Sect, those three from the Mount Hua Sect, those..." She didn’t seem to stop as she kept listing off all the people that seemed to have professed their love for Liu Ao Xue.

The more that I heard this, the more that I realized just how popular Liu Ao Xue really was.

It seemed that this was much more than just a few suitors...

It was almost like there was an army of people who wanted to court her.

I couldn’t help looking at Liu Ao Xue with a strange look after hearing about all of her suitors.

Murong Yan added, "My daughter is the darling of the Star Peak Sect, it’s only natural that she has all these suitors. She’s not just a genius, but she also inherited my..."

Before Murong Yan could finish, Liu Ao Xue suddenly said, "It’s not like I wanted any of them. They’re the ones that keep bothering me."

Then lowering her head a bit, she said in a softer voice, "I don’t feel anything for them, the only one that I..."

She couldn’t say the rest of what she was about to say as her face turned red.

Murong Yan just had a smile on her face as if she was enjoying it, but she also held the back of Liu Han’s collar to prevent him from moving. It was as if she already knew what he would do if he could move.

Hearing her say this and seeing the blush on her face, there was an embarrassed feeling that filled me.

It seemed that I had been unknowingly putting pressure on her because of my own insecurity and that shouldn’t be something that I should do.

I should have had faith in her in the beginning.

So I moved closer to her and took Liu Ao Xue in my arms before saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that they can never come and bother you again." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Liu Ao Xue looked up at me in a daze for a bit before suddenly looking down with a blush that was stronger than any blushes that she had shown before. It almost seemed like she was about to release smoke from her ears at any moment with how red she was.

This would have been the perfect time to...

But I didn’t get a chance as someone said, "Don’t you even think about..."

He didn’t get a chance to say the rest as someone had chopped him in the throat because he said this. That person that spoke fell down and looked like he had been knocked out because of this blow.

However, I didn’t do anything since the mood had been ruined.

It would be wrong for me to do anything else at this point, so I just let her go and said, "Don’t worry, just leave this all to me."

Liu Ao Xue gave a nod in response as her face turned red again.
