Chapter 10: Moonlight Schemes
Zhao Tian's changing expression wasn't hidden from Su Wan'er — she could tell he had misunderstood her. Still, it was impossible for her to put her Sect — the place that cared for her and trained her for more than twenty years — into danger for Zhao Tian.
In the end, she could only lower her head and clench her hands, not daring to meet Zhao Tian's eyes.
...
"Holy Maiden Wan'er, I heard tonight's moon will be wonderful, so would you be willing to give me some face by appreciating the moon's beauty with me tonight?"
Out of nowhere, Arun spoke those words.
The expressions of the two were in full view for him to see, so how would he let go of such a great opportunity? Arun gently touched Su Wan'er's soft hand. With a gentle smile appearing on his handsome face like a warm sun, making everyone feel like a spring breeze.
Su Wan'er was stunned by Arun's sudden gentleness. Feeling the warm hand on her palms and looking into those beautiful eyes, a blush appeared on her face, and her heart was flattered. As Holy Maiden, she was an iceberg beauty; no man could come so close to her. Even Zhao Tian was not able to touch her hand.
"Don't be flattered, he is just playing with you."
The sudden voice in her mind startled Su Wan'er, making her come to her senses. Then her complexion became pale as she saw a crafty playfulness in Arun's eyes. He had purposefully uttered those words with a volume high enough for the others to hear. His words weren't for her, but for Zhao Tian!
Su Wan'er understood that, but the others in the hall didn't see the subtle attack hidden in his words.
The people felt envy towards her, while the Taichu Holy Lord's heart burst with glee as he subtly signaled to his daughter with a desperate wink.
If she could receive this Young Lord's fancy, then their Taichu Holy Land would receive an unparalleled opportunity whether he brought her along to the Upper Realm or left her behind. They would ascend to Heaven with a single leap!
Zhao Tian's face turned ashen as he saw Arun holding Su Wan'er's hand. Su Wan'er was a famous ice beauty; even though they had affection, Zhao Tian had never even held her hand.
By now, Zhao Tian's eyes had already turned crimson, and he appeared to have lost his mind. Like a raving beast, he shouted,
"Saint child, you despicable and shameless bastard! Do you only know how to bully the weak using your status and authority? If you have the guts, then lower your Cultivation to..."
[Puff!]
Zhao Tian did not finish his words as the Holy Son Xiao Xuan hit him with an attack. If it was before, Zhao Tian would have been able to dodge it, but now his mind was unstable, and his body was also injured by Arun.
"Puff!"
Zhao Tian hit the pillar in the hall and coughed a mouthful of blood.
"Beast! The Saint Child already showed mercy on you to let you go. How dare you humiliate the Saint Child!" "Law Enforcement Elder, take this beast and throw him into the dungeon."
Xiao Xuan said after hitting Zhao Tian. His eyes were full of satisfaction as he took his revenge. After that, he stood behind Arun like a guard to show his loyalty.
Arun looked at Xiao Xuan with appreciation, which made Xiao Xuan flatter. As for Zhao Tian, he did not even take a look. A leek that did not grow up is not worthy of attention. One hand was holding Su Wan'er's beautiful hand while he took a sip of tea with the other.
Su Wan'er did not stop Arun, now it could be said she did not dare, and she felt her Yin power suppressed by his touch. That made her white cheek red.
[Puff!]
Zhao Tian spat another mouthful of blood. Now he really felt like a monkey dancing in the palm of the other party's hand. Finally, he could not bear the humiliation any longer.
In the next moment, a System prompt sounded in Arun's mind.
[Ding! You damaged Zhao Tian's mental state! Zhao Tian lost 100 Fortune Value. Host received 200 Fate Points and 1000 Villain Value.]
[Hoh!]
'Fate Points aren't all that hard to earn.'
Arun slowly took another sip of his tea with his eyes a little thoughtful.
