Chapter 237: Chapter 189: The Promise with Zixia!

"Okay!"

Li Ping’an hadn’t expected this fatso to be quite understanding and empathetic. He had initially planned to accept Wang Tianran’s invitation, but when he saw Zixia approaching, he immediately changed his tune:

"Fatso, you’ve got the wrong person, I’m not that kind of guy!"

"Ping’an, you know Wang Tianran too?"

While speaking, Zixia walked up to Li Ping’an and Wang Tianran.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I was wondering why you suddenly became so serious..."

After making an "I understand" expression, Wang Tianran still extended the invitation:

"Brother, I really want to get to know you, you have to grant me this favor, if not today then tomorrow!"

Li Ping’an faced Wang Tianran, but his eyes kept darting towards Zixia:

"You have to understand my situation here, what if tomorrow doesn’t work either?"

Wang Tianran rubbed his hands together expectantly:

"If tomorrow doesn’t work, then the day after, whenever you have time works for me!"

"You said it!"

"I said it!"

"Alright, then it’s settled. I have other things to deal with, so I’ll take my leave now!"

Li Ping’an quickly pulled Zixia and headed toward a deserted street near Moyun Temple. As soon as they reached the corner of the street, Li Ping’an couldn’t wait any longer and hugged Zixia tightly:

"Zixia, would you accompany me tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Zixia coyly lowered her head and after pondering for a moment, firmly said:

"No!"

"Why not?"

Li Ping’an pressed Zixia against the wall, his hands moving excitedly:

"Zixia, do you know how much I’ve missed you? Ah? Every day apart from you has been immense torture for me!"

While resisting, Zixia explained:

"Really, I can’t, my senior brother is watching over me. I must return to the temple tonight!"

Zixia then turned the conversation around, cupping Li Ping’an’s face tenderly:

"If the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master is over tomorrow, it might not be impossible..."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you!"

Li Ping’an was about to kiss Zixia:

"Come on, sweetheart, give me a kiss."

"Oh my! Are you trying to suffocate me?"

Zixia gently pointed to the Hundred Plays Nuo Mask on Li Ping’an’s face:

"You’re still wearing the mask!"

"Oh, seeing you got me so excited, I totally forgot!"

Li Ping’an quickly removed the Hundred Plays Nuo Mask and shared a passionate kiss with Zixia on this deserted street.

"Ping’an!"

Zixia suddenly pushed Li Ping’an’s face away and blocked his mouth with her hand, refusing to let him kiss her.

"Hmm?"

Li Ping’an asked, puzzled:

"What’s up?"

"Time’s almost up, and I need to rush back to the temple."

"Hold on, I have something to tell you!"

"Spit it out!"

"Aren’t you taking me as your closed-door disciple? And you’re also mine, I mean, when will I go back with you to Qingyun Sect?"

Zixia’s eyes suddenly widened, her emotions surging, tears swirling in her eyes, she said seriously:

"Young Master Li, are you asking to marry me?"

"Yeah!"

Li Ping’an replied without hesitation, obviously not revealing his ulterior motive, which was to use the Qingyun Sect as a stepping stone to develop.

After hearing this, Zixia smiled warmly, then looked down at her Zixia Sword, and ultimately didn’t say the words, but replied seriously:

"I have to tell Master about this first!"

"Then you must tell him quickly!"

"But I have to tell Eldest Senior Brother first, he’s the one who can contact my master now!"

"Then you hurry up and tell your senior brother!"

"Dummy! Then you should let me go back first!"

"Oooh, right, right, that makes sense."

Li Ping’an then controlled his burning desire, letting go of Zixia willingly.

"Alright, wait for good news from me tomorrow, I’m heading back now, see you tomorrow!"

After saying this quickly, Zixia kissed Li Ping’an, adjusted her attire, and ran towards the street end.

As Zixia reached the street end, she suddenly remembered something she hadn’t told Li Ping’an, and it was the same with him. They almost spoke simultaneously:

"I forgot to ask you something!"

"I forgot to tell you something!"

The two shared a knowing smile, then said in unison:

"You first!"

"Hahaha!"

The pair shared another knowing smile. Although Li Ping’an was supposed to speak first as what he had to say was very important to Zixia, she glanced at the time and preempted:

"I wanted to ask you about that day on Five Fingers Mountain, how we survived and how you became part of Mount Longhu. But there’s no time now, no time to hear it. So, after the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master tomorrow, I will ask you again, then you can tell me what you wanted to say!"

"That settles it..."

After finishing, Zixia headed to her own temple, leaving Li Ping’an alone.

"Actually, I wanted to talk about marrying the Xiao sisters..."

Li Ping’an watched the empty street and finally murmured to himself:

"Forget it, I’ll tell you next time."

Then Li Ping’an promptly went back to True Buddha Temple.

No sooner had Li Ping’an left, when a figure jumped out from the courtyard wall of the street he had been on. It was none other than Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, grinding his teeth in rage.

He squinted venomously at Li Ping’an’s retreating figure and cursed:

"You little philanderer! So you had already seduced my beloved junior sister. No wonder she’s been acting differently since coming to Chang’an from Five Fingers Mountain, it was then you lured her! You dare steal the apple of my eye, hmph! Just wait and see how I take you down tomorrow!"

...

Little did Li Ping’an know that by tomorrow, there would be two groups ready to challenge him.
