Chapter 163: Li Taibai and Wu Xueying

Meanwhile, in the Northern Region, Wu Xueying was handling affairs for the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce. Although she was now a Quasi-Emperor Peak powerhouse, she still handled the matters of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce's Northern Region branch personally.

For some unknown reason, the usually stern and serious Wu Xueying unexpectedly showed a rare smile, and it wasn't just once or twice; she looked just like a young girl in love.

This shocked the people of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce. This was the great-aunt of the Wu Family; which big shot had managed to win her over?

It wasn't until a figure slowly walked in from outside, with a warm, spring-breeze-like smile on his face, that they understood.

"Xueying, have you finished handling your work? If you're done, let's go out on a date."

"Alright, Brother Taibai, I'll just finish up the final tasks and then we can leave."

When Wu Xueying looked up and saw Li Taibai, her face was filled with a bright smile.

It wasn't until Wu Xueying left with Li Taibai that the people of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce realized what had happened and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Damn, so this great-aunt of the Wu Family was won over by the Holy Master of the Azure Lotus Holy Land?"

"That's actually quite normal. After all, Li Taibai is handsome, possesses great talent, and has no Dao Companion. It's natural for Wu Xueying to be attracted to him."

"However, I'm quite curious now; will the Wu Family accept Li Taibai? After all, the difference in status seems a bit too large."

"Uh, I agreed at first, but now that I hear what you said, I realize you're right. Although the Azure Lotus Holy Land is still a top-tier power in our Mystic Heaven Realm, it doesn't seem to amount to much compared to the Wu Family."

"Now we can only wish Li Taibai good luck."

Meanwhile, Wu Hao had already brought his wife, Su Qiaoran, to the Northern Region. Seeing the gloomy expression on Wu Hao's face, Su Qiaoran asked cautiously.

"Husband, what happened?"

She knew that if it weren't a major issue, Wu Hao would never display such an attitude.

Wu Hao took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then spoke.

"My house has been raided; that brat Li Taibai actually dares to woo my granddaughter."

Su Qiaoran naturally knew of Li Taibai. Although Li Taibai had previously seemed extremely unattainable to her, in the eyes of the current Su Qiaoran, he was nothing special.

As for their only granddaughter, Su Qiaoran naturally knew who it was: Wu Xueying.

Hearing that Li Taibai was actually going to become her grandson-in-law, Su Qiaoran just felt a sense of wonder; she hadn't expected that such a powerful figure from the past would actually become her grandson-in-law.

"Husband, calm down first. I know you cherish the child Xueying very much, but children grow up and will eventually find their own place. You can't keep her by your side forever."

"Let's observe them first. If Li Taibai is deceiving our granddaughter, then it won't be too late for us to take action."

Su Qiaoran held back Wu Hao, who wanted to take action directly to eliminate Li Taibai, and spoke.

What if the two of them were truly in love? Wouldn't Wu Hao's actions cause his own granddaughter to resent him for the rest of her life?

Hearing this, Wu Hao took a deep breath, and then said with an incomparably serious expression.

"If that brat dares to bully my granddaughter, I will send him straight to Hell—no, I will make his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

At this very moment, Li Taibai, who was standing beside Wu Xueying, shivered for some reason. Seeing this, Wu Xueying said with some concern.

"Brother Taibai, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"It's nothing, maybe it's just because I'm too happy being by your side."

Li Taibai waved his hand, raised his head high, and spoke, suppressing the uneasiness he had felt in his heart earlier.

For some reason, after he and Wu Xueying left the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce, he had felt a vague sense of unease in his heart, as if something was targeting him.

As for how he met Wu Xueying, Li Taibai swore that he truly did not pursue Wu Xueying because of her status; he had met her by accident.

Wu Xueying's appearance made Li Taibai, who had been single for hundreds of thousands of years, feel his heart flutter. After realizing that he would not marry anyone else in this life but Wu Xueying, Li Taibai began a frantic pursuit.

As for Wu Xueying, because of her status in the Wu Family, no one had dared to pursue her for fear of being torn apart by the Wu Family members. Therefore, this was also the first time someone had ever pursued Wu Xueying.

The young girl was thus moved, and so she quickly established her relationship with Li Taibai.

After confirming their relationship, Li Taibai immediately informed Wu Xueying of his identity. Wu Xueying was not very surprised, because Li Taibai was at the Quasi-Emperor Peak, and how many powers in the Mystic Heaven Realm could have someone at the Quasi-Emperor Peak?

However, after confirming her relationship with Li Taibai, Wu Xueying felt a bit of a headache.

If her brother, father, and grandfather found out she had a partner, who knew how they would make things difficult for Brother Taibai.

As a rare female in the clan, after Wu Xueying was born, the entire Wu Family's affection was focused on her, including when she first came to the Northern Region; if she hadn't argued her case, her family probably wouldn't have agreed.

But even so, when she was in the Northern Region, they would still come to the Northern Region every ten years to find her and check on how she was doing.

"Brother Taibai, I'm considering how I should introduce you to my family. You should know that if my family finds out about my relationship, they will probably try everything in their power to make things difficult for you."

Soon, Wu Xueying and Li Taibai arrived at the dating venue that Li Taibai had previously arranged. After sitting down, Wu Xueying hesitated but spoke up.

Hearing this, Li Taibai reached out and tightly grasped Wu Xueying's hands, his eyes serious and his tone incomparably earnest.

"I'm not afraid. As long as that person is you, then it is worth it for me to do anything. In the time I have spent Cultivating, countless people have appeared in my life, but none of them moved me. Only you have made me certain that the person by my side in this life can only be you, and only you!"

Facing Li Taibai's sudden romantic words, Wu Xueying was shy, turned her head away, and said coyly.

"Brother Taibai, don't be like this, it's so cheesy."

"No, this isn't cheesy; it's just the true expression of my feelings."

After Li Taibai finished speaking, he put his hand back and said in a serious tone.

Wu Xueying took a deep breath, then looked serious, as if she had made a decision.

"Alright, since Brother Taibai, you are prepared, then let's plan when I will take you to meet my family."

"Mm, as long as you give the word, I am ready to go through fire and water at any time."

"Mm, the road ahead, we will walk it together!"
