After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 439 Strange Attributes

On the way back, seeing Guan Bi's gloomy face, Shen Xu tentatively asked, "I was unconscious for a while, is it really necessary to be this angry?"

"They finally found this opportunity, and the atmosphere was already there. Not only did you not take the initiative, but you even made me go to the river to fish you out. There was no atmosphere at all, and you made them wait for so long."

"You should have been used to fill the river back then!" Guan Bi said through gritted teeth.

"Uh... I fell into the river? Why are my clothes a little damp?" Shen Xu couldn't help but sniff his sleeves, which still had the scent of Guanbi on them.

"Is that the point?" Guan Bi stopped in front of Shen Xu, then put her hands on her hips and looked at him angrily.

"It's as if it's my fault," Shen Xu muttered softly.

Just then, Guan Bi smiled slightly, walked to his side, and gently took his arm.

Shen Xu looked at Guan Bi with a puzzled expression. This girl was just angry a moment ago, how come she suddenly changed her mind?

But for some reason, he no longer felt much aversion to Guan Bi's actions.

In the past, he would have struggled a bit or two, then resigned himself to fate, since he couldn't break free anyway.

"With so many people around, Guanbi, what are you trying to do?" Seeing the looks in the eyes of those around him, Shen Xu's expression changed.

But Guanbi didn't answer him; she just led him in one direction.

Along the way, everyone in the Tianhe Sword Sect, whether elders or disciples, stared wide-eyed when they saw Guan Bi holding Shen Xu's arm.

"Isn't that Senior Sister Guan? Why is she arm in arm with a man? Is he Senior Sister Guan's Daoist partner?"

"Impossible! How could this happen? I can't accept it!" One of the male disciples was devastated upon witnessing this scene.

"I never expected that Guanbi, who used to be so meticulous, would have such a side to him," an elder remarked with a sigh.

"But if that's the case, won't Guanbi follow Bailu?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Guanbi, what exactly do you want to do!" This time it was Shen Xu's turn to grit his teeth.

"I'm here to make you a target of hatred! Otherwise, why would anyone notice you? Ordinary hatred isn't enough to make others risk their chances of winning the Heavenly River Tide to gamble with you."

Besides, I've already thought of a plan for you; just remember to be arrogant later.

"Didn't you say that all the cultivators participating in the Heavenly River Tide are at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm? Do you really believe I can win?"

He knew that with Tianhe Sword Master's guarantee, Bailu would definitely be able to secure the qualification for him from the higher-ups at Tianhe.

But challenging others without receiving confirmation from Bai Lu seems a bit too arrogant, as if he completely disregards the Tianhe Sword Sect.

“It’s okay if you lose, I’ll find you another one,” Guan Bi said with a smile.

Hearing Guan Bi's words, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

"Actually, this method is just the most convincing one."

If you really can't beat her, Miss will definitely have other ways to get you involved, but you'll have to endure a lot of disdain.

After all, privilege has always been something people hate. Why don't you give it a try? Guan Bi looked into Shen Xu's eyes.

"Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if I used my privileges after losing the game?"

"At the very least, the higher-ups of the sword sect need to see your value before they will do you this favor."

Fighting a peak Qi Sea Realm cultivator, losing isn't shameful, and you might not even lose.

"Alright! I'll give it my best." With his current strength, his past self was no match for him.

Moreover, he had challenged cultivators at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm in his previous life.

However, the Tianhe Sword Sect is, after all, a fifth-grade sect, and those who can obtain the quota to participate in the Tianhe Great Tide are the best among them. Even if he can use his supernatural powers, he is not sure if he is a match for those people.

"What's your plan?"

"See that girl? She's been bullying me since we were kids!"

Later, I went to the Sword Alliance with Miss, and she became a true disciple of the Sword Sect. Now that I finally have a chance, young master, could you please help me teach her a lesson?

Guanbi hugged his arm tightly and gently twisted it.

Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

He found that he was becoming more and more tolerant of Guan Bi, and even found it somewhat enjoyable, and did not want to stop Guan Bi's actions.

However, he didn't believe Guanbi's words at all; she was the one who bullied others, and no one dared to mess with her.

"If you move again, believe me, I'll go to the temple right now," Shen Xu said helplessly.

"Doesn't the young master like Guanbi's service? When the young master kisses Guanbi, he's very domineering," Guanbi said pitifully.

"Don't give me that! You're the one who lied to me, and I didn't even move an inch. How am I being domineering?"

"If you do this again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless." Shen Xu revealed a fierce expression.

"I'm so scared! What if the young master doesn't treat me well?" Guan Bi's eyes were full of anticipation.

"If you keep doing this, I'll really go to the temple. If you don't want me to faint in public, let me go."

"Fine! You heartless bastard, all you know is going to the temple." Guan Bi pouted, looking aggrieved, then slowly released his arm and gently took his hand in hers.

Shen Xu was taken aback. Guan Bi's hands were very soft, with rounded fingers, fair as jade, and felt very comfortable to touch.

"That should solve everything, right?" Guanbi said to him with a smile.

Shen Xu wanted to say something, but seeing Guan Bi's very happy smile, he tacitly approved of Guan Bi's behavior.

"This is a one-time thing, and it won't happen again. Otherwise, I'll complain to your young lady and tell her to keep an eye on her little maid so she can stop trying to seduce me."

"Please, young master, don't tell Miss, okay? I'm willing to do anything for you. If Miss finds out, she'll definitely..." Guan Bi looked flustered.

"Role-playing, is that it?" Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Since you're willing to do anything, just let go of my hand first!"

"Tch! The son-in-law isn't cooperating at all, it's no fun," Guan Bi said somewhat sullenly.

"Then what do you think I should do?" Shen Xu asked with a curious look.

"Of course, he used his other hand to pinch my chin, looking into my eyes with a gaze that was three parts mockery, three parts indifference, three parts disdain, and one part lust."

Then, looking at me with deep affection, he said, "If you don't want your young lady to know, come to my room tonight..."

Finally, he pushed me to the ground viciously, just like the look on your face just now, son-in-law.

"Just thinking about it is so exciting!" Guan Bi's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Shen Xu rubbed his head with his other hand. He was having a bit of a headache about Guan Bi now. This girl seemed to have awakened some strange attributes.

"Read fewer romance novels in the future, as they are not good for your physical and mental health."
