He Ying forced a smile on her face. "This guy is up to his tricks again. Right, my husband?"

But this time, her words did not evoke any response.

He Ying turned to look at Dong Tiancheng. She was surprised to see the look on his face. It was an expression that she had never seen before.

Dong Tiancheng was a rich man whose fortune was worth billions. With his power and wealth, it was natural that Dong Tiancheng knew of some of the greatest secrets of the world.

As such, he was well aware that in this world, there really were sages that were more powerful than normal men.

But even with that knowledge, he would never have imagined that this man, who had two kids, would be an unearthly sage.

When he remembered how he was mocking Xue An and his party earlier on, Dong Tiancheng could not help but break out in cold sweat.

"Hubby?" He Ying called in a trembling voice.

Dong Tiancheng flashed her a sharp, cold look.

It was all because of this foolish woman!

If it had not been for her, he would not have offended Xue An!

Yes!

It was all because of her!

Dong Tiancheng's eyes were filled with disgust.

As a rich man, he had no lack of beautiful women around him!

Since He Ying was also a popular actress, she satisfied Dong Tiancheng's wish of winning the affections of an actress. This was why he tended to spoil her by overly pampering her.

But now, Dong Tiancheng had come to the realization that he should stay away from this foolish woman. As far away as possible.

He Ying could sense that Dong Tiancheng was acting strangely and could not help but feel a sense of panic quickly overcoming her.

"Hubby… What's wrong with you?"

"I suddenly remembered that there's some work to do in the company. You can take a cab home on your own."

With that, Dong Tiancheng turned and walked away.

He Ying stood rooted to the ground. After a long time, she looked at Xue An with a face filled with vicious resentment.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, the role in Steven's movie would have been mine! I curse your two daughters to a horrible death! You…"

Her voice came to an abrupt stop.

A ball of white light suddenly rose up from under He Ying's feet.

Within an instant, this white light completely engulfed her.

He Ying did not have time to let out a cry of anguish. She simply vanished.

Xue Xiang saw this strange occurrence on the riverbank that was a far distance away. She could not help asking, "Papa, what is going on over there?"

Xue An smiled gently and said, "It's okay, probably just someone burning some trash!"

Although Xue An's current strength was nowhere near its peak levels, he still wanted to do his best for his beloved daughters, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian. As such, he had blessed them with guardian spells of the highest grade.

This was a spell that was created by Xue An when he first became an immortal lord.

It was so powerful that it could traverse billions of light-years to directly curse the people who were trying to do harm to him.

Although his current strength was far from full recovery, this guardian spell was still extremely powerful.

So, although He Ying had only said a few bad things about him behind his back, she was directly killed by the curse of this spell that was capable of traversing empty space!

Of course, the two little girls had no idea what was going on. The two of them were walking excitedly on the fish bridge.

Xue An stood in the middle of the river, with hands crossed behind his back. When he looked at the happiness on his daughters' faces, he could not help but smile.

Suddenly.

The gloomy clouds dispersed. A ray of sunlight shone down on Xue An and the two little girls, making them look like immortals glowing in the light.

This scene was captured by the eyes of Fan MengXue, Han Yao, as well as Wei Ruyan, who were behind the trio.

Han Yao's body completely froze. Then she cried out in a voice that was almost a moan, "MengXue, what kind of man have you found yourself?"

Fan MengXue, on the contrary, was a lot calmer. She merely said in a soft voice, "Even I don't know. But I'm very sure it doesn't matter who he is, as long as his name is Xue An!"

By now, Han Yao had completely put away her contemptuous heart. She fully believed that Xue An was not boasting the other day when he said that he lived his life following his heart.

He truly had the capability to do so.

When a person's strength reached a level that no one else could possibly reach, all the earthly powers and riches would seem ridiculous in comparison.

Wei Ruyan, on the other hand, only noticed the lush greenery of the trees around the Jade Dragon River.

It seemed that all of a sudden, Jade Dragon River had returned to summer.

The lush green trees seemed so out of place in the surrounding world of snow and ice!

"This person… Who on earth is he?" Wei Ruyan was completely filled with shock.

Just then.

A Mayback slowly drove into the garden compound.

Qin Yu got out of the car. She too, was taken aback by the scene that greeted her. But by now, she had already started to get used to seeing these miracles. She recovered quickly and then made her way over to the river.

"Mr. Xue!"

Xue An turned around and saw that it was Qin Yu. He led Xue Xiang and Xue Nian back to the shore. Then he snapped his fingers.

"Disperse!"

A clattering sound was heard.

The fish bridge crumbled and fell apart.

Xue An smiled at Qin Yu and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Qin Yu felt her heart beat a little faster at the sight of this smile. She could not help but lower her head. "Mr. Xue, I've found the answer to the matter you've entrusted me to look into. That stalk of Gentian from the auction, it came from… Green Wheat Mountain."

Green Wheat Mountain!

When he heard this name, a divine spark shone radiantly in Xue An's eyes.

Because his hometown was Green Wheat Town, which was located right at the foot of Green Wheat Mountain.

After the deaths of both his parents, Xue An left that place and since then, he has never gone back.

"Alright. I got it. Thanks."

Qin Yu was a little nervous.

She had never seen that kind of expression on Xue An's face before.

"Mr. Xue, are you going to Green Wheat Mountain? Do you need us, the Qin family, to help you with anything?"

Xue An smiled and said, "No need."

Then Xue An turned to Xue Xiang and Xue Nian. "Papa is going to bring the two of you on a trip. Does that sound good?"

"Great!" For Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, as long as they were able to stay by their Papa's side, they would be fine with anything that happened.

Xue An raised his head and looked far into the distance.

Green Wheat Mountain!

It seemed that there were still some debts that he needed to settle back in that place!

Plans were made and discussions were held. Because of her work schedule, Fan MengXue had to leave with Han Yao.

When it was time to bid farewell, Fan MengXue could not help but start crying again.

Han Yao could sense was going on, and so she led Xue Xiang and Xue Nian away.

Xue An looked at Fan MengXue, whose eyes were red and swollen, and gave her a gentle smile. "Alright now, you won't look good if you keep on crying."

Fan MengXue lowered her head and sobbed softly like a kitten.

Xue An stroke her head. "Back when we were still in school, I once said that if anyone dares to bully you, I will beat him up. Now, as you have already seen, ordinary people don't stand a chance against me. So you don't have to worry about anything. You can just go. As for that guy, Steven, he probably won't dare do anything to you!"

In fact, not only did Steven not dare to do anything, he practically regarded Xue An as a god. He was even really close to kneeling before Xue An and burning incense as an offering to him.

Fan MengXue suddenly hugged Xue An. "Do you even realize that I'm actually very jealous of An Yan? And the thing is… I don't even know whether I have a chance with you!"

Xue An let out a small sigh.

Even for an immortal lord, there were still certain matters that are difficult to deal with.

For example, it was hard to tell when it came to matters of the heart.

"Alright. When I asked you to go, I didn't say you're not allowed to come back."

"Really?" Fan MengXue lifted her pretty little face and looked at Xue An.

"You mean, I can still come back to you later?"

Xue An smiled with a vague bitterness. "Yes, do you think I can get rid of you that easily?"

Fan MengXue felt so much joy that the corners of eyes and brows lifted.

By the time Fan MengXue left, Xue An was standing by the side of the road. He suddenly felt a little melancholic.

He only ever liked one person, and that was An Yan.

There was no doubt about it.

But when it came to Fan MengXue, and even Tang Xuan'er.

He had some kind of complex feelings in his heart.

Xue An could not help but let out a long sigh.

Whatever, whatever!

He would just take things one step at a time!
