Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 292: Everyone has a story

"Can we talk in a more private place?" The girl asked before saying anything else.

I looked around at the crowd before turning back to give her a nod.

I reached my hand out to help her up, but that was when I heard a voice say...

"What are you doing?"

This was a cold voice that sent chills down my spine because I recognized it right away.

When I turned over in the direction of that voice, I saw that Liu Ao Xue was standing there with her arms crossed. She had her brows slightly knit and there was a cold look in her eyes as she looked at me.

There was an awkward smile that appeared on my face when I saw her like this, but I still acted calm as I helped the girl up before saying, "I’m just helping someone." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Is that so?" There were far more implications than what was on the surface with these words, but I acted like I didn’t hear a thing.

The girl who I just helped up also revealed an awkward look when she heard this before she came forward to help me explain.

"It’s not what you think. This young master was just helping me deal with some pests. He didn’t..."

Her words trailed off at the end and that was because Liu Ao Xue had turned her gaze onto the girl.

When she was faced with Liu Ao Xue’s cold gaze, she couldn’t help letting her words slowly fade away.

Liu Ao Xue didn’t say anything as she just looked at the girl, but she eventually said with a sigh, "Alright, I get it. Everyone has their own story and I’m sure that you have your own. Let’s go and hear it then."

She wasn’t a fool, she could see the bruises that were on the girl’s arms and legs.

She knew what kind of person Lin Fan was, so she didn’t believe that he would do something like this to her.

That meant that the only explanation was that he was helping her like she had claimed.

So she wanted to hear what story this girl had.

It wasn’t just Liu Ao Xue alone who wanted to hear this story, it was also the others that came out of the store at this time that wanted to hear the story.

That also included Lin Li Zi who suddenly arrived when no one was expecting her.

Since we wanted to talk in private, there was no better place than the restaurant from earlier.

This was our territory and we would be able to get the most private room, so this was where we ended up.

After sitting down, I asked the girl, "Well?"

She had an awkward look on her face as if she didn’t know what to say, but now that I was asking her directly and everyone was looking at her, she had no choice but to say something.

"It’s a long story." That was the first thing that she said.

I waved my hand as I said, "It doesn’t matter, we have time."

The girl nodded before she began her story.

First was her name.

This girl’s name was Chen Xiao Hua and she was from the Chen Family, a family that had some power in one of the northern provinces of this empire.

But her family was suddenly destroyed one day.

She had no idea who the enemies were, but they were adamant in destroying the Chen Family.

It was only because of the sacrifice of her father and mother, the heads of the Chen Family that she was able to escape.

She had run far and wide to finally escape to a remote place like this, but she never expected to be recognized by Young Master Jin.

The moment that Young Master Jin recognized her, he had suddenly grabbed her and wanted to drag her back to the capital with him.

She had done her best to try and resist him, but he and his lackeys were just too strong for her.

That was when I had shown up to save her.

None of us said anything after hearing this story, we just stared at her in silence.

Chen Xiao Hua didn’t say anything as she looked right back at us, as if there was nothing for her to hide.

Since she had eyes this clear, she shouldn’t be lying.

I was the one that broke the silence by saying, "So it’s the Jin Family that destroyed the Chen Family, right?"

Everyone looked at me with a bitter smile on their face.

In the end, Liu Ao Xue said, "These are the kinds of things that should be left unspoken. There’s no need to say these things out loud."

I revealed a faint smile, but it wasn’t as if she had denied this.

It was clear that the Jin Family was related to the Chen Family’s destruction.

But the more important thing was that I had stepped into the Jin Family’s matters.

There was no doubt that they would try to find out who I was and take revenge on me.

Though that was part of the reason why I had let that Young Master Jin go in the first place.

I knew that he would tell the elders of the Jin Family on me, so I wanted them to know about me.

I didn’t fear their family since I knew that I wouldn’t have a problem destroying them when the time came.

They were just a large family in this secular world and I was from a second ranked sect.

There was no way that they would be able to do anything to me.

I knew that if I wanted to deal with someone that wanted revenge, the best way was to take them all out in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, it would be an endless cycle of people coming after me for revenge.

Since I had saved Chen Xiao Hua, I guess I should pursue this matter to the end.
