Qiao Rong was extremely upset. He felt like he could explode right now.
After Shen Haofeng grabbed his hand and took him out of the village hall yesterday, the young man just casually drove him to the front of the house. Qiao Rong had said many times for Shen Haofeng to let go of his hand, yet the man seemed to not pierce him in the slightest. What made him want to strangle the young man even more was the fact that Shen Haofeng left him alone and went home without a word after delivering him to the front of the fence.
Qiao Rong raged in his room. He was already very confused by Shen Haofeng's intention of not answering his question. Did the man really want to confuse him to death?

"seen? Even the Master cannot let go of his hand even if some of your qi I burn with Soul Fire." Feng Huang sighed. Obviously Shen Haofeng liked the girl. Supposedly, when Shen Haofeng's qi was burned by the Soul Fire, each step would be extremely painful. But the young man continued to walk like a normal person and did not let go of the girl's hand. Only Feng Huang could see how his Master was struggling so hard that it let out cold sweat.
Shen Haofeng did not respond to Feng Huang, he was still deep in thought as he looked at the palm he had used to hold Qiao Rong earlier. Why can't he take that grip off? What's wrong with her?
"Then, I ask Master, if now also Jiang Junwei is telling you to return and will never be in Nanshan Village again, what will Master do?" Ask Feng Huang.
"don't want. Can't." Shen Haofeng replied firmly what he had in mind.
"Then when will the Master accompany the girl here?" Feng Huang's question this time successfully made Shen Haofeng wonder.
"For ever?" Said Shen Haofeng doubtfully.
Feng Huang simply nodded. "Then Master can give the girl an answer now, Master does like her."

The next day...
Qiao Rong again woke up irritated. Yesterday he woke up Chu Yue, today he woke up to the sound of a crowd from in front of his house.
Chu Yue walked into her room with a worried expression. "Your Majesty!" Chu Yue then accelerated her small steps.
Qiao Rong got out of bed, "Let me guess.. Xu Fang Yin?" Qiao Rong only smiled when he saw Chu Yue nod. Then Qiao Rong immediately put on his outer clothes and put on some makeup before leaving the house.
Just as Qiao Rong was coming out, he was already greeted by a clear voice coming from the crowd.
"You guys see? Even my poor mother.hiks still can't get out of bed because this girl sold herself to Mr. Ji!" Xu Fang Yin who could instantly recognize Qiao Rong, began to sob.
"Basic! What are you talking about?!" Chu Yue shouted in disbelief, yet Qiao Rong raised her hand for Chu Yue to calm down and let her overcome this situation.
Qiao Rong looked at the scene in front of him, the citizens who had come with Xu Fang Yin were mostly married men, as well as single ones. There were only a few elderly women who took a look from the side to see the crowd.
"This lady, you're so great. Even I don't know since when did I sell myself to Mr Ji?" Qiao Rong replied with his widest smile. He was fanning his face with a fan that he brought from inside the house.
"Of course I know! As soon as you showed something to Mr. Ji, he immediately sentenced my mother..hiks?" Xu Fang Yin who had heard the full story from his mother used a cunning tactic to trap Qiao Rong. With that many citizens, wouldn't the reputation of the girl be ruined after this?
"Xu Fang Yin, then you're saying that Mr Ji is a judge who can take bribes and be unfair in court?" Hearing Qiao Rong's words, Xu Fang Yin's face paled instantly.
Qiao Rong had just wanted to drag the girl to court like his mother, yet suddenly a young man who was at the end of the crowd walked slowly towards them. Shen Haofeng displayed his flat face and looked at Qiao Rong.
Looking at Shen Haofeng, Xu Fang Yin's eyes twinkled. Will he help her this time?
"Master! Please give my family justice! This girl.she seduced Mr. Ji so as to give an unfair decision in court yesterday." Xu Fang Yin, who gained acting ability from his mother immediately let out a few tears. Xu Fang Yin then grabbed Shen Haofeng's arm and hugged him.
"Since when has my fiance sold himself to someone else?" Said Shen Haofeng by maintaining his flat expression. Then he brusquely brushed Xu Fang Yin away until the girl fell to the ground. Shen Haofeng then walked over to Qiao Rong.
Hearing the word 'engagement' it felt like Xu Fang Yin's world stopped for a moment. He had already decided that only a man like Shen Haofeng deserved to marry him. His handsome face, a calm manners. But it felt like he was struck by lightning when he found out that the man was Qiao Rong's fiancee.
The citizens who were around did not accept Shen Haofeng's treatment of Xu Fang Yin. Xu Fang Yin, after all, was the dream woman of single men in the village. Although Qiao Rong was indeed prettier than Xu Fang Yin, he was already engaged.
One of the men in the crowd was irritated, "Shen Haofeng, we know you might be upset, but is it necessary to be that rude to a fragile girl like Xu Fang Yin? If something happens to his face, do you want to take responsibility?"
Qiao Rong then smiled hearing the man's response. "Great! Very cool! If I who was in court alone could make Master Ji side with me was said to be selling myself, then would Xu Fang Yin sell himself to all of you? Ahaha!" Qiao Rong laughed in satisfaction.
The people were angry, but ashamed. Qiao Rong's words had a point as well. One-by-one embarrassed residents finally left the crowd. Leaving Xu Fang Yin who was still in a downturned position was wanting to cry out in embarrassment.
Xu Fang Yin then tried to stand up, and lamented his clothes that had been stained by the ground. Xu Fang Yin glared at Qiao Rong angrily and directly turned his back to leave.
"Who said you could go?" Qiao Rong said loudly.
Xu Fang Yin's footsteps stopped for a moment. "Do you want what?" Xu Fang Yin said in annoyance.
"That Xu family of yours, tell them, one more time bothering me will be like one bad luck that will befall you!" Hearing that, Xu Fang Yin growled and immediately left from the front of Qiao Rong's house in annoyance.
Now only Qiao Rong, Chu Yue, and Shen Haofeng remained. However, Chu Yue immediately cleared her throat and asked Qiao Rong for permission to continue cooking their breakfast.
Qiao Rong's mood was currently not good. Less sleep, early in the morning has also been disturbed trivial things like this.
Seeing Shen Haofeng who was still not moving before him, made Qiao Ring recall his regret these few days towards that young man. However, just as he was about to nag the young man, Shen Haofeng instead stepped towards him slowly.
"Do you want what?" Every time Shen Haofeng stepped up, so did Qiao Rong step back. Until finally, Qiao Rong's back hit the wall of his house.
Qiao Rong's face flushed red, what would Shen Haofeng do? It had been a while since the young man had cornered him, yet there was still no movement except for Shen Haofeng's eyes which always looked into Qiao Rong's eyes.
Qiao Rong immediately stuck out his hand to push Shen Haofeng, but the action was immediately stopped by Shen Haofeng's hand clasping tightly onto his wrist. That young man whose cultivation level was higher than Qiao Rong, must have been able to win over the girl easily in terms of manpower.
"I. seem to like you.." Said Shen Haofeng softly. He had already convinced himself to give Qiao Rong an answer today after Feng Huang's question yesterday. To be honest, if he could, he wanted to tie Qiao Rong up so that he could take her wherever he went. Yet he still did not know what that feeling was, never felt it as well, now that he already knew what to waste time for?
Qiao Rong dropped the fan in his hand. Qiao Rong's eyes widened. He sat in place.
