Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 57: That necklace

When Elder Tian arrived to mediate, everyone went to another courtyard to sit down and talk about this.

After all, it wasn’t as if we could just keep talking in that destroyed courtyard.

Though as we were moving over to that other courtyard, I could feel a glare coming from Liu Ao Xue’s father the entire time.

It was clear that he didn’t like me, especially since Liu Ao Xue was walking by my side the entire time. Though if it wasn’t for Liu Ao Xue staying with me, he certainly would have attacked me without hesitation.

That was the reason why she walked with me in the first place.

However, for some reason, she couldn’t help looking awkward.

She didn’t know what it was either, but after not seeing him for two weeks, she couldn’t help feeling nervous when she was beside him.

As for why she hadn’t seen him in two weeks, that was because she had gone into closed door cultivation after that trip to adjust her mentality. But for some reason...she had been thinking about him while she was in her closed door cultivation session.

Seeing her like this, I couldn’t help asking, "Master, are you alright? You look a bit frazzled."

I saw her jump when I asked this before she turned to look at me with a nervous look to say, "I’m fine, I’m fine."

Though when Liu Ao Xue turned back around, I also saw her hand come up to pat her chest.

Once again, the glare that was burning into my back became even stronger...

When we arrived in that other courtyard, Elder Tian quickly prepared some tea and snacks before sitting down to mediate this situation.

The first thing that he said was, "We’ll give you another courtyard later, so don’t worry about the one that you were staying in before. Just go and get your stuff later, alright?"

I gave a nod, but I still had to say, "There were some things that are hard to replace that were destroyed. Shouldn’t I receive some kind of compensation for that? As well, it seems like my lackeys have been treated quite well."

Elder Tian revealed an awkward look when he heard this, but he didn’t get a chance to say anything as someone else spoke first.

"Compensation? You’re asking for compensation?" Liu Ao Xue’s father jumped out of his seat when he heard this before pointing at me to say, "You want compensation? Then what about how you’ve been taking advantage of my daughter?! You think that I’m going to let you go?"

Liu Ao Xue looked at her father and said, "Father, if you keep acting like this, I won’t talk to you anymore."

The moment that he heard this, it was as if he deflated as he sat down and said, "Xue’er, daddy didn’t mean it. Daddy didn’t mean it. Let’s just calmly talk this through."

Seeing how quickly he changed his stance, everyone couldn’t help revealing bitter smiles.

This man really was shameless...

Though he deflated, that didn’t stop him from acting aggressively towards me.

After a moment of silence, Liu Ao Xue’s father suddenly asked, "Where did you get that necklace from?"

Liu Ao Xue trembled when she heard this before she went to hide the necklace that she was wearing, but it was already too late since her father had already seen it. So he asked once again, "Where did you get that necklace?"

If he hadn’t mentioned it, I would have actually forgotten about this.

But wasn’t that the necklace that I gave her?

I didn’t think that she would still be wearing it after this long.

The truth was that Liu Ao Xue had never taken off that necklace since that day other than when she went to sleep.

That necklace was something that she had stared at from time to time without even knowing why she did it.

And for some reason, when her father mentioned this necklace now, she couldn’t help feeling nervous. It was almost as if she had been exposed when he mentioned the necklace.

She couldn’t help secretly peeking at Lin Fan only to find that he was looking at her as well.

Liu Ao Xue’s father noticed all of this and an enraged look appeared on his face as he slapped his hand on the table. He stood up and pointed his finger at me as he said, "Kid, just what have you done to trick my daughter? I’ll teach you a lesson right now!"

It seemed like he really wanted to jump over the table and attack me, but he held back since Liu Ao Xue was here.

So instead, he went out to the yard and said, "Come out and face me like a man! If you want my daughter’s hand, then you have to go through me first!"

A blush immediately appeared on Liu Ao Xue’s face when she heard this and she looked like she wanted to dig a hole to bury herself in.

I just looked at the two of them with a bitter smile on my face while shaking my head, as I was at a loss as to what to do about this.

It wasn’t as if I could just beat up Liu Ao Xue’s father and I didn’t want to get beaten up by him...

But while I was lost in thought as to what to do, there was a loud explosion that rang out.

All of us were caught off guard when we heard this.

It seemed that even Liu Ao Xue’s father was caught off guard by this, so it didn’t seem like this was related to him.

While we were wondering just what was happening, there was a voice that said, "Your pieces of trash, come and face our Breaking Fist Sect!"

This was a familiar voice that I was certain that I had heard before. Even the name of the sect that this voice mentioned seemed familiar...

Right!

It was that person who had tried to keep us out of the auction that day.

But why was he suddenly attacking our sect?
