Illicit Relationship

"I can't come to your house in the next few days." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.

Lian Xun was unhappy with his words because Xiao Tian had promised to do his tasks until he finished making swords for him.

"Why?" Lian Xun wanted to hear the reason first before deciding whether he would accept it or not.

"My friend's master has serious injuries, and I have to go to Beijing to help her." Xiao Tian replied, "But don't worry. I will call maid service to do my tasks during my absence."

Xiao Tian decided to use the maid service to do his tasks so it would count like he didn't break his promise.

"I refuse!" Lian Xun thought Xiao Tian's reason was not strong enough to break his promise. "If you don't do your tasks, I won't make a sword for you."

Xiao Tian clenched his right fist. He wanted Lian Xun to make a special sword for him, but at the same time, he didn't want to break his promise to Yu Shi and Crystal.

Not only could it ruin his friendship with Crystal, but it would also destroy his good image. "Elder Lian, isn't the result the same? I didn't break my promise. It's just that I will only pay for the maid service to do my tasks."

'This old man is so annoying!'

Xiao Tian added in his head.

"I refuse!" Lian Xun repeated his words. "Now choose! You keep doing your tasks, and I will continue making a sword for you, or you help your friend, and I won't make a sword for you."

If it were not for Lan Ruoxi, Lian Xun would not agree to make a special sword for Xiao Tian, and here, Xiao Tian wanted to ignore his task, so of course, Lian Xun was unhappy with it.

Sure, he had promised Lan Ruoxi to make a sword for Xiao Tian, but if Xiao Tian didn't do his tasks, he would break his promise because it would be unfair to him.

Xiao Tian was even more unhappy after hearing Lian Xun's words.

'What should I do?'

Of course, Crystal was more important than a sword, but he wanted a special sword so badly.

As Xiao Tian was thinking, Lan Rouoxi suddenly asked, "Elder Lian, why are you doing this? Didn't you promise to make a sword for him? How can you break your promise so easily?"

'Master, this is not what you promised me.'

Lan Ruoxi said through her face.

"He is the one who wants to break his promise first." Lian Xun replied, "If he doesn't want to keep his promise, I will do the same."

Xiao Tian greeted his teeth.

'It seems like I'm not destined to have that special sword.'

After thinking for several seconds, Xiao Tian chose Crystal.

Sure, Xiao Tian still wanted Lian Xun to make a special sword for him, but Crystal was more important than a sword. "Fine. You can forget it because, for me, my friend is more important than a sword."

'I'm sure this old man does not have a single friend.'

Since Lian Xun still refused his terms, Xiao Tian was sure that Lian Xun had no friends. Someone who had a friend would understand his reasoning because Xiao Tian did it for his good friend.

"Oh! So you chose your friend, huh?" previously, Lian Xun thought Xiao Tian would choose a sword because he knew how much Xiao Tian wanted a special sword.

He did not expect that Xiao Tian would choose his friend over a sword.

Xiao Tian then looked at Zhao Sheng and spoke, "Zhao Sheng, let's go back to Red Flower Bar."

"Eh?! Why?" because Zhao Sheng was focused on looking at the waterfall, he didn't pay attention to their conversation.

"He has no business here anymore." Xiao Tian uttered, "Let's go."

"Damn it! I thought we would play in the waterfall later." even though Zhao Sheng said something like that, he still followed Xiao Tian.

As they were leaving Lian Xun's house, Lan Ruoxi looked at her master for several seconds.

'Master, you are a liar! I hate you!'

Lan Ruoxi was disappointed with her master's behavior because he did not keep his word.

Red Flower Bar, Private Room.

"So, that old man refused to continue making a special sword for you just because of that?!" Zhao Sheng finally knew the truth. "Tch! That old man is so unreasonable! I'm sure he does not have a single friend in his entire life."

Currently, Zhao Sheng, Lan Ruoxi, and Xiao Tian were sitting on the couch. Zhao Sheng had the same thought about Lian Xun and believed that Lian Xun didn't have any friends.

"Well, forget it. It makes me really annoyed remembering it." Xiao Tian had tried really hard to get a special sword, but all his efforts were in vain in the end.

Zhao Sheng tapped Xiao Tian's right shoulder and spoke, "Don't worry Xiao Tian. I know someone who can make a special sword for you. We can meet that person later."

"Really?" Xiao Tian was pleasantly surprised by Zhao Sheng's words.

"Yes." Zhao Sheng replied, "That person now lives in Guangzhou. We can meet that person after you return from Beijing later."

"Good!" Xiao Tian smiled happily.

'It seems like I'm destined to have a special sword.'

He added in his head.

"So, do you want to go with us later?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"I want to, but I can't go with you." Zhao Sheng was sure that his grandfather would kill him if he went to Beijing with them.

"Why?" previously, Xiao Tian thought Zhao Sheng would agree immediately because Zhao Sheng loved adventure.

"I have promised my grandfather to practice martial arts every day for the next three weeks." Zhao Sheng gave an honest answer. "And I was invited by a few TV shows, so I can't leave Shanghai for now."

"What a pity!" Xiao Tian uttered, "Zhao Sheng, let me tell you something. We are going to meet the Qing family later. In the Qing family, there is a gorgeous lady called Qing Xiulan. I'm sure you will regret it if you refuse to go with us."

"Oh, Qing Xiulan?! Well, it can't be helped. Even though I can't meet Qing Xiulan, but I will meet Li's family princess later. You still haven't met her, right?" of course, Zhao Sheng knew who Qing Xiulan was because he had met her several times.

"Li's family princess? Well, it's true that I still haven't met her, but I don't care about it because I will spend time with gorgeous ladies later." even though Xiao Tian said something like this, he still wanted to meet the Li's family princess.

He had heard about her several times, but he had never met her even once, so he was curious about her.

"Hehe." Lan Ruoxi giggled. "Both of you are always talking about women."

"Because we are men." Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng replied in unison.

Then they talked for several minutes before Xiao Tian, and Zhao Sheng went home.

After arriving home, Xiao Tian took a shower before heading to the family room to spend time with his women.

After sitting on the couch, Xiao Tian looked at his women and inquired, "Do any of you want to go to Beijing with me tomorrow?"
