Chapter 254: Will you grant my wish?
” Just trust me, and come prepared properly on time that day. ” Jayden spoke in an assuring voice.
” Still, what if the third elder found out about it? No no, this is too risky, why don’t you ask someone else, even though I am a little tempted to do it? ”
Bao said imagining what he would do in the mission, but then he shook his head, trying not to let his desire take on.
” Alright, your loss, don’t come to me later regretting your decisions, only with some risks could you achieve something great. ”
Jayden said and stood up, but just as he was about to walk away, Bao spoke in a hesitant voice, he still remembered the large amount of points he has just won:
” W- Wait, I… Um, I’ll do as you say, as long as you promise to keep me safe. ”
Jayden showed a confident smile and said:
” Don’t you worry, if I feel that you are in danger, I’ll immediately send you away, but be ready on time, we will go the day after tomorrow? ”
Then saying goodbye to Bao he walks away in a good mood.
‘ Should I go and train for now? Haa, that training is such a torture. ‘ he thought and began walking towards his home.
Just when he was a little further away from his house, he heard a melodious voice from behind:
” Jin ”
Jayden recognised this voice then turning around he saw Xiao Rong walking towards him, her beauty lighting up the surroundings.
” Hello, Ms. Xiao. ” Jayden greeted.
Xiao Rong pouted after seeing how he was addressing her, getting closer to him she spoke:
” Can’t you just call me Xiao like before or any pet name is fine too like honey or wife. ”
“…” Jayden stayed silent.
Not getting any response from him, she took his hand then intertwining her fingers with his, she pulls him away.
” Where are we going? ” Jayden asks, walking beside her.
Tightening her grip around his hand, she spoke:
” You promised to grant me one wish right? I’m going to ask something now, so let’s talk while we eat something sweet. ”
Then she brought him to a nearby shop, where they were selling different kinds of candies and other sweets.
Jayden looked at her in surprise and asks: ” So you eat stuff like that too, with your aloof and cold personality I didn’t think you would like such things. ”
” I’m not like that, um… Do you think I am cold too? ”
She asks in a low voice, taking two round candies of different flavours in both of her hands.
” Hmm, I’m not sure, anyway shouldn’t you be asking such things to your fiance? He won’t like it if he sees you linking arms with me. ”
Taking a candy, Jayden paid the cost of all three candies from his newly acquired fortune.
Xiao looked into his eyes and tried to look pitiful in front of him, as she spoke:
” That was a mistake, I was too confused at that time and made a rash decision please just forget about it and let’s start anew.
Anyway, what prizes did you got after getting the first position in the sect competition? ”
She said trying to change the topic, Xiao didn’t want to upset him by bringing Qiang into their discussion.
” A pill and a sword, also a dress and tasty wine from my mom as gifts. ”
Jayden replied, tasting his candy.
They walked side by side while talking, Xiao seemed the opposite of her usual self, she was smiling, laughing and talking a lot.
After a few minutes, when she finished one of her candies, Xiao took his hand again and wrapped her arm around it.
” You will fulfil my wish, right? I won’t ask for too much. ” Xiao said, leaning her head over to his shoulder.
” Tell me, what is your wish? ” Jayden wondered what she could ask for.
” I want you to spend an entire day with me, we will go to different places together, and experience different things, and also you have to call me your wife for the entire day, is that… okay? ”
Xiao Rong said, and then nervously waited for his response, she was a little afraid that he would say no to this kind of wish.
” Uh… Actually, I am sorry, but I can’t go with you, you should make some other wish after all… ”
Jayden spoke in a serious tone and immediately Xiao Rong halted, moving her head away from his shoulder she looked at him with eyes filled with sadness, and tears began appearing at the corner of her eyes, his words were piercing her heart like a knife.
‘Does he really not feel anything for me? Is everything really going to end like this after all? W- What am I going to do, if he really leave me? ‘
She thought and then a feeling of loneliness and heartbreak filled her, everything had again started going just fine she couldn’t understand why it had become like this again. But holding in her pain and tears, she asks:
” W- Why? ”
“… After all, your fiance might get upset if he knew you are spending an entire day with me. ” Jayden joked.
Xiao Rong pouted cutely, calming herself she held his arm tightly and spoke:
” Please, don’t tease me, you are so bad. ” While speaking, they again continued walking.
Jayden had placed a barrier around them, that would stop others from listening to what they were saying and also to others both of them would just look like any normal disciples, so no one was paying any attention to them.
” Fine, I’ll go with you, I’ll tell you the date, since I will be busy for a few days. ”
Again placing her head over his shoulder, Xiao Rong asks:
” When I visited the last time and even in the sect competition, Matriarch… Um your mother seemed a little upset with me, had I done something wrong to make her angry? ” She asked.
” Who knows, maybe she was just in a bad mood. ” Jayden said shrugging. ” Or maybe she just don’t like you. ”
” But why? She have never treated me like this before, wait could it be because she knows I like you and she don’t approve of me. ” Xiao wondered, in response to which Jayden just shrugged.
They chatted for some more time and walked around, then saying goodbye to her he walks away.
Xiao was in a great mood as she walked away, but in the near future something bad was about to happen to her, and she would get stuck in a situation that would send her into despair.
Jayden was walking away, just then he remembered something that had previously slipped out of his mind, with a grin he thought:
‘ I wonder how my martial brother Chang Ho is doing right now. ‘
Then closing his eyes he scanned the entire Divine Sword sect, Jayden remembered his presence and within a few seconds, he found Chang Ho practicing.
Then changing his direction he walks in the direction where Chang Ho was training, it was just a little away from him and within a few minutes he stood in front of the training hall.
