Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 178 - Yang Wei’s Reason



After Yang Wei agreed to help Yan Meixu out, she was thankful and gave Yang Wei a room to reside in for free of charge.

Not only does this allow Yang Wei a place to stay, but it also meant that she would be safer with him closer.

??

"Why did you agree to help Yan Meixu without asking any other questions?" Su Mingxia's angry tone echoed in the room.

"Did you really fall for her charm and simply agreed to help her so that you can have a chance with her?" She continued and crossed her arms as she sat on the bed.

She held a fierce expression at Yang Wei who was standing still.

"Why aren't you talking or did I guess it right? You want to insert your thing at her." Su Mingxia felt her temper rising whenever she thought that Yang Wei is more attracted to Yan Meixu than her.

"Sigh, it's nothing like that, Su Mingxia," Yang Wei suddenly said as he took a seat next to Su Mingxia.

Surprisingly, Su Mingxia didn't move away from Yang Wei in getting closer as she can tell his expression was different.

She decided to wait for Yang Wei to give his reason and if it weren't a satisfactory reasoning, she wouldn't mind thrashing him.

Yang Wei held a bittered expression as he started explaining a little bit of his past before arriving at the Feather Wind Sect.

"Well, before my family offended a cultivator, I actually had a childhood friend who is a female. Our parents talked to each other all the time and I treated her like a little sister."

"Things turned bad when my family offended the cultivator as their family decided to cut off contact with us and the worst thing was… she also turned cold toward us."

Yang Wei couldn't help but clench his fist as he recalled this piece of memories. After all, he still treated her as a little sister despite what she had done since she was simply trying to protect herself.

Su Mingxia noticed his emotion as she held his hand and smiled at him. "You don't have to go on if it's painful. I was just being impulsive for my behavior previously."

"No, I was the impulsive one because I agreed to help when you refused." Yang Wei shook his head.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Wei continued on with the story. "She was Lu Min and her situation is very similar to Yan Meixu. She was being forced to marry an old man because of her family and had come to me for help."

"I- At that time, I was cold and refused to help her because it had happened after my parents died from the illness. Hence, two days later, Lu Min was found dead in a river, her neck was strangled and i-it was clear that she was violated because of the blood leaking out from her lower part."

Su Mingxia started to embrace Yang Wei when she felt him tearing up as he was feeling guilty about this outcome.

"It's not your fault, Yang Wei. She chose her path when she decided to leave you alone," Su Mingxia held him tighter as she consoled him.

"B-But it was because of my refusal that she ended up dead." Yang Wei clutched onto Su Mingxia's sleeve as he buried his head in her chest.

He hadn't told anyone about this past of him as it was always a thorn in his heart.

He could have saved Lu Min but instead of doing so, he gave her a cold look and sent her to her doom.

"The cultivation world is always ruthless and there are things that cultivators couldn't control. Even if they are powerful, they can't change everyone's life." Su Mingxia said soothingly as she rubbed his back.

Yang Wei slowly closed his eyes as he relied on Su Mingxia's strength to maintain his balance.

He felt relief for finally being able to tell someone this part of his story.

"You may rest easy now. Everything is in the past now," Su Mingxia said calmly and slowly patted Yang Wei's head as he slowly fell asleep in her embrace.

Su Mingxia made sure he was deep asleep as she also sighed softly.

"You're not the only one who keeps secrets, Yang Wei." Su Mingxia mumbled softly as she stared at Yang Wei with a loving gaze.

"I had introduced myself as Su Ling in the past yet I told you to call me Su Mingxia. You were surprised but at least you are respectful enough to not question it."

Afterward, Su Mingxia brushed aside a bit of hair from Yang Wei's forehead as she planted a light kiss.

Sometime later, Su Mingxia placed Yang Wei on the bed as she covered him with a blanket.

She then left the room after casting a spatial barrier to protect Yang Wei from any kind of danger.

As she left the room, a waitress was on standby as she quickly greeted Su Mingxia and Su Mingxia wasn't even surprised by her appearance.

'Heh, of course that seductress would have us spied at all times,' Su Mingxia sneered inwardly.

"Bring me to Yan Meixu, I want to talk to her alone." Su Mingxia ordered the maid.

The maid kindly bowed as she said, "Right away, the young madam is at her office.

The maid brought Su Mingxia to an office as she knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Yan Meixu's voice echoed from the inside.

"It's the esteemed guest, Su Mingxia. She wished to speak to you alone," The maid replied respectfully.

"Let her in."

"Yes, young madam."

The maid nodded as she opened the door and moved aside for Su Mingxia.

Su Mingxia held a calm demeanor as she stepped inside and took a seat as she glared at Yan Meixu.

"What are you plotting, Yan Meixu?" Su Mingxia said as she went straight to the topic without mincing her words at all.

Yan Meixu held a dumbstruck expression as she placed her hand on her chin, "I don't know what you mean by that, lady Su Mingxia."
