Chapter 1806 - 1892: Imperial Capital
Su Xuan was also feeling frustrated; now he had to buy another ticket.
After leaving the barren mountains with Cheng Jiahui, they reached a town, finally hired a car, and made their way into the city.
"Are you going to the Imperial Capital this time?"
Having gone through hardships together, Su Xuan felt no animosity towards Cheng Jiahui. After all, despite saving her today, she had also saved him, so he was genuinely grateful for her.
"To be honest, I’m headed to the Imperial Capital to see if I can find any of the remaining members of the Five Elements Sect. After it was destroyed, I ended up in Jiangnan. I’ve been wanting to return to the Five Elements Sect for years, but never found the chance."
"I see, do you need my help?"
Su Xuan felt this woman was quite pitiful. Since he happened to be heading to the Imperial Capital as well, he was willing to help if he could.
"Didn’t you say you didn’t want to talk to me?"
Looking at Su Xuan, Cheng Jiahui appeared pitiful.
"Uh... that was in the past. Don’t be so petty!"
Su Xuan awkwardly scratched his head, thinking who would have known she had such a powerful background.
After this incident, the misunderstandings between Su Xuan and her were cleared. This time, Su Xuan arranged for train tickets, and the two took the train to the Imperial Capital.
"Hey, do you have a girlfriend?"
Cheng Jiahui looked very curious.
"What, do you want to be my girlfriend? I have many girlfriends. If you don’t mind, I can take you in!"
Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin.
"Then what if I become your girlfriend, how much pocket money do I get each month?"
Cheng Jiahui looked like a little miser.
"Damn it, get lost!"
Su Xuan rolled his eyes, thinking she must be eyeing his wallet.
"Don’t be so stingy, being your girlfriend should come with living expenses, right!"
Cheng Jiahui was definitely a joker, and Su Xuan felt he met his match. Though knowing she was joking, she made it seem real.
"None, you have to earn it yourself!"
Su Xuan replied exasperatedly, while the guys seated across from them were envious, thinking to themselves, "Beauty, come with me, I’ll give you five thousand a month, how about that?"
"Three thousand?"
Cheng Jiahui clutched Su Xuan’s arm, negotiating.
"No way, damn it, I don’t even have that much!"
"Aren’t you a rich second generation?"
Cheng Jiahui said weakly.
"Rich second generation, my ass. I’m broke. A hundred bucks, take it or leave it!"
When Su Xuan said this, the guys opposite were already about to hit their heads on the wall, thinking, "How can this guy treat a goddess-level beauty like this? Is there no justice?"
"Uh... okay, better than nothing. Boyfriend, give me a hundred bucks!"
Cheng Jiahui said adorably, while the guys sitting opposite Su Xuan were already in chaos, thinking this truly is a magical world. It’s that easy to get such a beautiful girl.
Su Xuan gave a hundred-yuan note to Cheng Jiahui, then said.
"Where to? I’m at a loss!"
"Cough, cough..." The guys were going crazy, thinking, "Loss, my foot! A beauty like this is worth three thousand a month, it’s a gain!"
The train was indeed slow, and when they finally reached the Imperial Capital, Su Xuan and Cheng Jiahui got off the train and Su Xuan said to Cheng Jiahui.
"I need to go to Tianyi Castle, do you know it?"
"Tianyi Castle, do you know someone there?"
"Yes, the Young Sect Master of Tianyi Castle is my girlfriend!" Su Xuan took out his phone and called Luo Tianyi. Luo Tianyi was thrilled to receive the call from Su Xuan.
"Why did it take you so long to arrive? If you hadn’t come, I would have had to marry someone else!"
"Uh... what’s going on?"
Su Xuan’s curiosity was piqued, so he asked quickly.
"It’s just the family arranged some stupid blind date. I told them I have a boyfriend, but they said you’re no good. Please come quickly, I’m on my way to the Jiangshan Hotel with my parents!"
"Okay, I’ll come right over!"
Su Xuan smacked his lips, wondering why Tianyi Castle was in such a rush to marry off Luo Tianyi. Luo Tianyi was truly his woman, and Su Xuan wasn’t going to let her be wronged.
"I need to go to Jiangshan, let’s part ways here. You go handle your affairs first, I’ll leave you a number; contact me if you need help!"
Su Xuan figured taking her along wouldn’t be appropriate. After all, he was going to meet the in-laws, and bringing another woman would be too over-the-top.
"Alright, take care of yourself!"
Watching Su Xuan, he said reluctantly. Cheng Jiahui initially was only joking with Su Xuan, having spent three years with a fake dad engaging in petty scams, she loved to joke.
But upon discovering Su Xuan had a girlfriend, she felt a twinge of sadness.
"Okay, you be careful too. Call me if you encounter trouble!"
After Su Xuan said this, he handed a card to Cheng Jiahui, telling her.
"There’s some money inside, stop scamming people, or you might get beaten up!"
Su Xuan knew she had no money. If he didn’t give her some, she’d definitely scam someone else and might end up in a tough spot.
"Boyfriend, why are you so good to me!"
Looking at Su Xuan, Cheng Jiahui was momentarily touched.
"You called me your boyfriend, so I can’t let you suffer, can I? Alright, let’s stop talking nonsense, my wife urgently needs me!"
Su Xuan said before hailing a cab to Jiangshan Hotel. His memories of the Imperial Capital were from his university days, but he studied elsewhere and not near Huaqing University.
This area was one he rarely visited, so he was unfamiliar with it. After taking a cab to Jiangshan Hotel, Su Xuan called Luo Tianyi.
Luo Tianyi told him to wait outside and hung up.
Standing at the entrance of Jiangshan Hotel, Su Xuan felt a bit nostalgic. Soon, he heard a familiar voice calling.
"Su Xuan!"
Without turning around, Su Xuan knew it was undoubtedly Luo Tianyi who called him. Today, Luo Tianyi looked stunning in a semi-off-the-shoulder evening dress, exuding grace. Seeing Su Xuan, she blushed slightly.
