Chapter 675 Asking for Help - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

Feiyun Pavilion had been established for many years, and as its master, Xu Ao was well aware of the situation in the Eastern Domain. He had watched closely the actions of the Wang family over the years. In short, the Wang family was not to be trusted. Xu Ao certainly didn't want his daughters walking into a trap. He often felt he owed a debt to his daughters. When his elder daughter, Xu Qingxuan, was just a few months old, she was accidentally left outside and only recently reunited with him. As for his younger daughter, Xu Qingtong, she had been away from him for a long period too. The reasons traced back to a conflict with his wife, during which he said things he shouldn't have. In her anger, his wife left, taking Xu Qingtong with her, to the secular world. It was only about a year ago that his wife forgave him, allowing his younger daughter Xu Qingtong to return to his side. However, in comparison, Xu Ao felt he owed the most to his elder daughter. After Xu Qingxuan was accidentally lost, she was adopted by a poor family and led a rather tough life. Xu Qingtong, on the other hand, had her mother by her side. Her mother ran her own business in the secular world successfully, amassing nearly a hundred billion in assets, and Xu Qingtong lived a life of luxury. Now that both daughters had returned, Xu Ao wanted to protect them, ensuring a carefree future. However, unexpectedly, news from the Wang family in the Eastern Domain caught him off guard. No matter the circumstances, Xu Ao had no intention of sending his daughters to the Wang family to be selected by their young master. Of course, Xu Ao wasn't naive. He understood clearly that Feiyun Pavilion's strength was no match for the Wang family. Hence, he entertained the idea of seeking external help. In the Eastern Domain, Feiyun Pavilion did have some allies, though none involved with the Wang family. He believed those allies wouldn't get involved in this muddy affair. The only external aid Xu Ao could think of now were his daughters' significant others. His elder daughter's significant other was a secular person. According to Xu Qingxuan, he was a wealthy young master from the secular world. But the affairs of Saint Domain were not something that a wealthy young master from the secular world could meddle in. Thus, Xu Ao dismissed the idea of his elder daughter's significant other. That left Xu Qingtong's significant other. This person, Xu Ao had met—his name was Su Xuan, who also came from the secular world. He was once hired as a bodyguard for Xu Qingtong by her mother. Young, just over twenty years old. After arriving in the Saint Domain from the secular world, he quickly made a name for himself. A month ago, a great opportunity arose in the Eastern Domain, and Su Xuan, overpowering all young talents from various forces, emerged as the leading figure among the youth in Eastern Domain. Xu Ao personally admitted that even he might not be Su Xuan's match now. With Su Xuan's assistance, the Wang family would certainly have to reconsider. Having thought it through, Xu Ao sent someone to convey the message to Su Xuan. Meanwhile, at a scenic overlook in Feiyun Pavilion, two exceptionally beautiful women observed their surroundings, engaged in idle chatter. These were the sisters Xu Qingxuan and Xu Qingtong. If Wang Haoran were present, he would surely recognize that the eldest Miss of Feiyun Pavilion, Xu Qingxuan, was, in fact, Fang Xuan. "Sister, you rarely talk about your significant other. Tell me more about him, what kind of person is he?" Xu Qingtong asked her sister. "How to say it... he's not exactly a good person, but he's not particularly bad either," Xu Qingxuan replied. "He's not a good person, and yet you like him?" Xu Qingtong exclaimed, surprised. "Indeed, he's not a good person, but to me, he's the light of my life; he's the one who brought hope to my life. I love him deeply." Xu Qingxuan gazed into the distant sea of clouds, as if trying to pierce through space to see a certain place in Qingling, her eyes full of affection, murmuring: "So, I plan to find him again after achieving mastery in cultivation. From now on, I will be the one to protect him; I want to be the light in his life." "I'm really curious about this not-so-good guy that you like, Sister. I wonder what he looks like," Xu Qingtong expressed her curiosity. "He's very handsome, probably the most handsome man I've seen," Xu Qingxuan chuckled. "That's because you haven't seen Su Xuan," Xu Qingtong retorted, slightly unconvinced. "Oh, really?" Xu Qingxuan smiled but didn't argue with her sister. Instead, she asked, "Why don't you tell me about you and Su Xuan?" "At first, I actually disliked him quite a bit. In the secular world, my mom offended some people in business, so she hired a bodyguard to protect me." Xu Qingtong began to recall and slowly narrated: "You wouldn't believe it, but the first time I saw Su Xuan, I was simply stunned. I never imagined someone could look so out of place, like a country bumpkin just arriving in the city. Having him as my bodyguard, wouldn't my classmates laugh at me to death?" "So, I tried every possible way to get rid of Su Xuan, but I never succeeded. Until, well... I encountered danger." Xu Qingxuan listened for a while and then interjected, "He saved you a few times, and then you began to like him?" Xu Qingtong blushed and nodded, "Actually, this guy looks pretty good. Once dressed up, he's really handsome, but there’s just a little..." At this point, Xu Qingtong suddenly hesitated. "A little what?" Xu Qingxuan prompted. "A little unsophisticated in some areas—well, maybe not unsophisticated. How to say... Ay, I don't really know how to put it," Xu Qingtong replied vaguely. "What stage have you two reached?" Xu Qingxuan discerned something from her sister's expression. "We've only held hands at most," Xu Qingtong stated oddly. "Only holding hands? Seems like he's quite the pure and focused type, that's great!" Xu Qingxuan commended. "Pure, my foot! This guy has other women besides me," Xu Qingtong rolled her eyes. “So, do you know the extent of their relationships with him?" Xu Qingxuan inquired, frowning. “Sister, I know what you're thinking. You're wondering if he might not be interested in me, right? I thought the same at first too, but then I asked those women. They told me that at most, they’ve only held hands with Su Xuan, some haven't even held hands," Xu Qingtong explained. "Is that so? Then, could it be...?" Xu Qingxuan began, but stopped. "Could it be what?" Xu Qingtong was puzzled. "Nothing, nothing," Xu Qingxuan waved it off with a smile. "Oh, I get it now! Sister, you're wondering if Su Xuan has some issues, right?" Xu Qingtong realized belatedly. "Yes," Xu Qingxuan nodded, "To have so many women around, but only keeping things to holding hands—it's not quite like a normal man." "Sister, do you really think being with someone only involves that kind of thing?" Xu Qingtong asked, a bit confused, seeking her sister’s advice with a serious curiosity. (End of the chapter)
