Illicit Relationship

After sitting on a stone chair, Lian Xun began telling everything to Xiao Tian, from his disciple's mother to the reason why Lan Ruoxi became the Xiao family's subordinate.

He did not hide a single thing because Xiao Tian's response could change Lan Ruoxi's fate. Of course, he told Xiao Tian that Lan Ruoxi did not want to betray him.

Lan Ruoxi had no other choice because she needed to take care of her mother.

"I met your father just now. He said he can treat Ruoxi's mother, but he needs your approval first before treating her mother." Lian Xun told Xiao Tian the reason why he came to meet him.

Like before, Xiao Tian did not say anything and kept hearing Lian Xun's explanation. At this moment, he wavered whether he should help Lan Ruoxi or not.

Sure, he still loved her, but a deep hatred appeared within him when he remembered his women's condition.

"Xiao Tian, can you let her mother to be treated at your father's hospital?" Lian Xun inquired. "I want to free her from the Xiao family, but I need your help to do that."

Xiao Tian kept looking at Lian Xun.

If Lan Ruoxi did not injure his women, he would agree immediately, but she injured his women.

His women were even still in a coma now.

This was the reason why he wavered because a part of him did not want to help Lan Ruoxi.

Because Xiao Tian did not say anything, Lian Xun asked again, "Why won't you help my disciple and her mother?"

"She injured my family and women." Xiao Tian responded with an expression full of hatred. "And they are still in a coma in the hospital now."

"It's impossible for my disciple to hurt your family and women. I'm sure it's someone else, not my disciple." Lian Xun knew Lan Ruoxi was in love with Xiao Tian, so he believed she would never hurt him or his family.

Xiao Tian began remembering his underlings' words. He believed his underlings would not betray him.

"Then do you see her injuring your family and women? Did you see her face?" Lian Xun inquired, "Are you sure it's my disciple?"

Xiao Tian began thinking again.

His underlings said they did not see her face because she wore a veil.

However, her eye color, body, voice, and hair color were the same as Lan Ruoxi's. She even said she did not kill them because they had known each other for a long time.

"Xiao Tian, I know you really hate my disciple, but can you help me?" Lian Xun uttered, "If you agree to help me, I promise to repay your kindness."

He then continued, "If you want to kill someone, I will kill that person for you. I'm even willing to help you fight the Xiao family."

After thinking for several minutes, Xiao Tian uttered, "Alright. You can treat her mother at my father's hospital." 

"Thank you, Xiao Tian. I will make sure to repay your kindness. Just tell me if you want me to do something." Lian Xun was pleased because, with this, he could free his disciple from the Xiao family.

"I don't need it." Xiao Tian responded, "Just make sure Lan Ruoxi never appears before me again."

"Alright. I will make sure she never appears before you again." After saying that, Lian Xun rose to his feet. "I will leave now."

Xiao Tian did not say anything and only stared at Lian Xun.

Ru village, Lian Xun's House.

Lan Ruoxi was sitting on the bed alone.

All she did was only look at the blue sky through the window.

She still had not returned to the Xiao family because she could not walk normally, so she remained in her master's house.

"Ruoxi, I have good news." Lian Xun said as he stepped into her room.

Lan Ruoxi looked at her master and spoke in a listless tone, "Master…"

"Ruoxi, I have found someone who can treat your mother." Lian Xun told his disciple the good news. "Now you don't need to go back to the Xiao family anymore."

Her mood improved drastically after hearing his words. "Who is that person, master?"

"That person is Xiao Zhan, Xiao Tian's father." Lian Xun began telling her everything. "But there is one condition."

"What is it?" she asked curiously.

Lian Xun told her about his conversation with Xiao Tian. "Xiao Tian wants you to never appear before him anymore."

Tears of sadness suddenly fell down her soft cheeks. "He wants me to never appear before him anymore?"

Even though she had just received good news, but a part of her was sad.

Xiao Tian was her first love, but here, he said he never wanted to see her anymore. "Alright. I will never appear before him anymore."

She felt like someone was squeezing her heart when she said this.

She still had a little hope in her heart, and that little hope was to live with Xiao Tian happily.

But now, she knew her little hope would never come true.

It would remain as her little hope forever.

"Ruoxi, tell me the truth. Are you the one who hurt his family and women?" Lian Xun asked curiously.

"Injure his family and women?" Lan Ruoxi was shocked by her master's question. "Master, I did betray him, but I never hurt his family and women."

"I knew it." Lian Xun stated.

"Why are you asking this question, master?" she inquired.

Lian Xun began telling her about what had happened to Ye Zhuixin and the others. "Xiao Tian can't forgive you because he thinks you were the one who hurt them."

"Maybe it's the Xiao family." Lan Ruoxi uttered.

"Damn Xiao family!" Lian Xun cursed venomously in his heart. "Ruoxi, stay here. I will go and meet my friends now. I will save your mother soon."

"Be careful, master." Lan Ruoxi uttered.

After Lian Xun nodded his head, he walked out of her room.

'After saving her mother, I will do something to the Xiao family.'

Zhao Family's House, Living Room.

Six people were sitting on a couch in the living room. Three of them were from the Zhao family, while the rest were from the Xiao family.

Their names were Zhao Chen, Zhao Xun, Zhao Luoyang, Xiao Deng Jiang, Xiao Yimu, and Xiao Jianhao. 

The Xiao family visited the Zhao family with one purpose.

They wanted to make the Zhao family their ally!

The Zhao family was a powerful family, so they would be of great help in killing Xiao Zhan and his organization.

"You want us to become your ally?" Zhao Chen was startled when Xiao Deng Jiang told them the reason why they came to his house.

"That's right." Xiao Deng Jiang began explaining the advantages of becoming their ally.

He said the Xiao family would share everything with the Zhao family. He also promised that they would never take advantage of the Zhao family.

Zhao Xun and Zhao Luoyang exchanged a glance with each other as they heard Xiao Deng Jiang's words.

It would be a lie if they said they were not interested in becoming ally of the Xiao family because their offer was so tempting.

"So, how is it, elder Chen? Do you agree to become our ally?" Xiao Deng Jiang inquired.
