Lin Xuan Qi had gotten out of the bathtub, dressed himself, and was getting ready to go to sleep when he heard a noise outside his door.

He frowned and didn't have a good feeling about it.

This time, he stood and waited by the side of the door.

Once bitten, twice shy.

He wasn't about to make the same mistake again.

It didn't take long to prove him right.

The door slammed open, and a familiar figure dressed in black stepped into the room.

He reached out his leg, trying to trip whoever it was.

"What the..."

Zhao Jia Rui didn't expect it and she nearly fell.

She stumbled forward for a few steps, and she finally maintained her balance.

"You!"

She turned around and pointed at Lin Xuan Qi.

If she was calm, she would have noticed the weird occurrence of her being tripped by a mortal, which was nearly impossible.

But she wasn't.

Lin Xuan Qi frowned and shrugged his shoulders.

"Wow. Robbers nowadays are so shameless. Coming into my house and behaving as if I've done something wrong."

He shook his head at Zhao Jia Rui.

Zhao Jia Rui's blood pressure immediately shot up to her head.

This man had a knack for making her angry.

"You.... You..."

She wanted to lash out at him, but she could only wag her finger at him.

Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and stared at her.

This time he was able to look at her much better with the moonlight shining into his room.

She had a perfect figure.

Her almond-shaped eyes with their long eyelashes could hook any man's soul when they fluttered.

The chest was the right proportion to her body.

Not too big and not too small.

Her slender waist helped with the visuals.

It was thin enough for him to wrap it around with only one arm.

And her long slender legs were another sight to behold.

Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin were young women.

But Zhao Jia Rui right in front of him gave him the impression of a woman.

From her eyes, he knew that she must have been young, but it was a vibe he couldn't describe.

As his eyes travelled along her body, that made her madder.

She quickly tilted her body to the side, trying to get his gaze away from her body.

It didn't help much as Lin Xuan Qi could see why he had that vibe.

Her body was accentuated with a nice curve like an 'S' shape.

A long shadow got near and covered her body.

It was Du Feng.

He was equally mad.

Zhao Jia Rui had something to do with this man, he thought.

"Jia Rui, did this man offend you? Let me know and I'll teach him a lesson he will never forget."

Du Feng's voice reminded her of her plan.

She glanced at Du Feng and gave him a slight nod.

Her eyebrows locked and she gave an aggrieved look at him.

His heart melted at the sight, and he glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi.

It was time for him to play the hero.

Even if it wasn't against the robbers, it didn't matter.

Lin Xuan Qi pointed at his nose and said, "Both of you intruded into my property and yet, I'm the one that's in the wrong somehow."

It was absurd to him.

"Do you know who you are offending?" Du Feng said.

Lin Xuan Qi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't think I would know when you are dressed in dark clothes and masked."

Zhao Jia Rui quickly interjected and said, "He... he stood me up when I had to hide from the robber here."

She was afraid that Du Feng, not being the brightest in town, would open his mouth and expose who they were.

Seeing Du Feng and Lin Xuan Qi battling it out was her intention.

Being exposed was not part of it.

"He stood you up?" Du Feng didn't know what she meant, and he glanced at her with a perturbed look.

He pointed at Lin Xuan Qi and said, "Isn't he doing the same right now?"

"No, not this type of standing up." She said and cursed silently at the intelligence of Du Feng, or more accurately, the lack of it.

"There are other types of standing up?" He frowned and asked.

His masters, peak lords and sect master had never taught him about other types of standing up.

Zhao Jia Rui cursed at him, but she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud.

Lin Xuan Qi saw what transpired and how Du Feng wanted to play hero to her.

He decided to go along with it.

"Yeah, I stood her up by not appearing for our date. That type of stood up."

Du Feng couldn't believe it when he heard Lin Xuan Qi.

He glanced over at Zhao Jia Rui in disbelief.

By now, Zhao Jia Rui's mind was in a mess as this was not supposed to happen.

She shook her head vigorously at Du Feng.

It was enough to convince Du Feng.

How dare that man try to accuse Jia Rui! He thought and pointed at Lin Xuan Qi.

"You liar! How dare you!"

Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and gave out a long sigh.

"I know you can't accept this fact. But we've been seeing each other for quite some time, you know."

He proceeded to reach into his sleeve pocket and took out a jade pendant.

It was a jade pendant that was carved into the shape of a peach with two kids holding onto the peach below it.

Du Feng narrowed his eyes and focused on what it was.

His heart sank and he felt that heaven had fallen onto him.

He recognized the jade pendant.

Zhao Jia Rui had always worn it with her.

It was from her family, hoping that she would be able to lead a prosperous life with many kids.

Her figure was something that many believed in Da Qian to be optimal for childbearing.

Du Feng's breathing became faster as he couldn't believe that his peach was now in the hands of another man.

No...

He couldn't take it anymore and he started to draw out his Spirit Qi from within.
