CHAPTER 426: CHAPTER 425: ANGRY

Wei Zhongxun chuckled awkwardly. Was he really that obvious?

"I didn’t mean it that way, but after all, we’ve both seen each other make talismans. Compared to others, we should have a certain foundation of trust. Although I’m considered young among the Mystic Doctors, I am very experienced in many aspects, and I can offer you everything I can do."

He spoke sincerely, and his words were enough to move Beisitian. If she wanted to understand the Mystic Doctors of this world, she must be led by one of them. Before, she wasn’t in a hurry and could take her time.

But now, with a group of dangerous people eyeing her, she had to quicken her pace.

The best solution would be to unite the Left and Right Sects, but she hadn’t entered this circle yet. To think she could accomplish this just by Spiritual Talisman was simply impossible.

"Very well, I would like to understand it too," Beisitian smiled. "But I hope not too many people know about the Spiritual Talisman matter."

The later it’s exposed, the later those people will come knocking, giving her more time. So now, even though more people know, she still has to keep it from spreading as much as possible. Fortunately, no one with malicious intent knows yet.

Having reached a temporary agreement, Wei Zhongxun breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least he gained an advantage. It’s a pity that Beisitian is married, otherwise, if he could win the beauty’s heart, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?

Of course, that’s just wishful thinking. Wei Zhongxun knew very well that he might not even be Beisitian’s type, and even if she weren’t married, he might not be able to win her over.

In the evening, Beisitian returned home. Luo Xudong was already back, sitting there looking at her with deep eyes.

He didn’t say anything, but Beisitian could feel that Luo Xudong was angry.

Was he angry with her?

Beisitian thought carefully and didn’t think she’d offended him, so she didn’t mind. She said a word and then went into the kitchen.

Soon, she finished cooking, and Beisitian brought the dishes to the table, calling Luo Xudong to eat.

Luo Xudong didn’t sit down at the table as usual. Instead, he took off his coat, his expression a little cold, and his gaze still deep, silently staring at Beisitian.

This time, Beisitian couldn’t play dumb. She had to ask, "What’s wrong with you?"

Luo Xudong sat in the chair, his long legs on the ground, making his tall figure even more pronounced.

"Are you sulking? Why? You even came to rescue me on your mission yesterday?" Beisitian tilted her head and guessed.

However, saying this made her feel uncomfortable. If it were true, she shouldn’t count on anyone in the future. Originally, she hadn’t counted on Luo Xudong at all, but she was really touched when he came to her rescue.

But if he wanted to settle accounts afterward, it wouldn’t make sense.

Beisitian was feeling out of sorts, so her words were somewhat tinged with anger.

Luo Xudong stood up, his icy aura even thicker. The pressure around him was low, and his broad chest pressed heavily towards Beisitian.

Beisitian wasn’t afraid and looked up directly into his eyes.

Luo Xudong lowered his gaze, looking at this woman who only reached his chin but stubbornly looked up at him. This woman, whom he couldn’t help but think of countless times every day, made his anger flare up even more. He leaned forward, resting his hands on the table behind Beisitian, trapping her within his arms.

"Why didn’t you wait for me?"

Luo Xudong’s voice was deep and rich, like a fine wine, intoxicating just by its aroma.

As Luo Xudong’s body leaned in, Beisitian involuntarily leaned back, trapped in the narrow space of his arms, smelling his unique masculine scent, her face embarrassingly turned red.

But his words left Beisitian slightly stunned. Wait for him? Wait for him for what?

For a moment, Beisitian didn’t understand what Luo Xudong meant. Then it dawned on her that he must be referring to when she first went to rescue Tian Zhi.

Even though Beisitian realized what he meant, she didn’t think she was wrong. She never stood in place waiting for someone to help her. She was used to managing everything on her own, using every resource and opportunity available. Even without any assistance, she would choose to act on her own. Standing still just waiting for help wouldn’t get things done.

Luo Xudong saw only a look of realization and confusion in her eyes, but no other emotions, and his face grew colder. She just didn’t understand.

Beisitian saw the fragmented light in Luo Xudong’s eyes. Although it carried a cold meaning, within that fragmented light, there was her entire reflection. At this moment, she suddenly understood what he was trying to say.

"You were worried about me?"

Luo Xudong pressed his lips together. Worried was an understatement; he was nearly scared to death!

When he heard Beisitian was captured and imprisoned, the mission wasn’t over yet. He rushed over with a team, derelict in his duty as a soldier on a mission. But it was an instinctive reaction then. His mind wasn’t processing anything else, just a single thought to rescue Beisitian as quickly as possible.

But Beisitian didn’t realize the risk her actions posed to herself, or how worried he was. That was what made Luo Xudong angry.

Once Beisitian figured it out, she understood why Luo Xudong was angry too. She also realized he was on a mission but came to save her, possibly affecting the mission because of her!

Thinking of this, Beisitian had no trace of resentment left, only feeling moved and guilty. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Luo Xudong’s neck, placing a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

"Sorry, I didn’t realize I made you so worried..." Beisitian suddenly didn’t know how to express herself.

In her past life, it was just her and her master. She had to act like a man, even disguising herself as one until she played the role so well she believed it, charging ahead in everything. Especially as her master grew older, she managed all affairs.

Now, someone was willing to stand in front of her, shielding her from wind and rain, thinking of everything for her. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved!
