Chapter 25 Praising Herself for Being Cute? A Perfect, Flawless Person

“Thank you, Young Master Jiang.” Xiao Hongdou hurriedly stood up and expressed her gratitude to Jiang Minghan.

She wasn’t oblivious to the situation. She knew that given her and her master’s current status, meeting these influential figures was incredibly difficult.

Let alone getting them to apologize and compensate.

So, she needed to seize this rare opportunity.

“Miss Hongdou, rest assured, I won’t let the blood of the Qingxu Holy Land elder from eighty thousand years ago be shed in vain. Over the years, if you’ve been wronged or bullied by anyone or any force, you can tell me.”

Jiang Minghan maintained a gentle tone, his expression calm. “I will stand up for you.”

“Wronged or bullied by whom?” Hearing this, Xiao Hongdou was stunned and began to recall.

Indeed, she had been bullied by many people since she could remember.

But…

Seeing this, the influential figures turned pale.

Cold sweat appeared on their foreheads, worried that Xiao Hongdou might mention their names.

“In my presence, you can speak freely. Don’t worry about offending anyone or facing retaliation.” Jiang Minghan’s expression remained serene, his voice warm.

He looked at the sect leaders and family heads, saying, “What, are you afraid of them?”

“No, we dare not…”

“Such incidents never happened…”

“We beg Young Master Minghan’s forgiveness…”

Feeling Jiang Minghan’s gaze, the influential figures instantly knelt, their faces pale and covered in cold sweat.

If it were other members of the hidden immortal clan, they wouldn’t be this scared.

But Jiang Minghan was the young master of the hidden immortal clan, destined to take over in the future.

With a single thought, he wouldn’t even need to act personally.

Countless forces eager to curry favor would eradicate them.

Such was the cruelty of this world.

Some people were born into a level they could never reach, just like how they were seen by mortals.

“No, it’s not their fault…”

Seeing this, Xiao Hongdou quickly shook her head, fearing Jiang Minghan might misunderstand, and explained, “For some reason, they never came back…”

She recalled Song Tian, who had harassed her the previous day.

She didn’t know if it was due to her luck.

Those who bullied her never ended well, as if an ancestor was protecting her.

“Oh? Those who bullied you never came back?”

Hearing this, Jiang Minghan narrowed his eyes, a hint of curiosity flashing, then he lightly chuckled, “In that case, I’m relieved.”

Was this the power of immense luck?

Jiang Minghan speculated that those who bullied Xiao Hongdou either met with accidents or were dealt with by her crippled master without anyone knowing.

Now, her younger brother Xiao Yan, wasn’t easy to deal with either, likely having awakened memories of a past life’s strongman, hence his calm demeanor.

Such a prideful character, oh wait, a strong character.

Jiang Minghan could tell that Xiao Yan probably vowed to trample all Tianjiao underfoot in this life.

“Thank you, Miss Hongdou.” Seeing Xiao Hongdou explain for them, the influential figures breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her gratefully.

Such a kind-hearted girl was rare. She could have easily relied on Jiang Minghan’s backing to deal with them ruthlessly.FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)el/bi/n(.)com

But she didn’t.

For a moment, they felt a lot of goodwill towards Xiao Hongdou.

“Besides this, is there anything else that troubles you, Miss Hongdou? Or any other compensations needed?”

Jiang Minghan asked with a smile.

Meanwhile, he attempted to use the system to analyze Xiao Hongdou’s background.

“Analysis failed, affinity level has not reached friend status, cannot analyze strangers…”

The system prompt broke Jiang Minghan’s thoughts.

Not enough? Was it due to lack of goodwill?

Or was it Xiao Hongdou’s reverence for his status, causing her to hold back?

Jiang Minghan remained calm, then slowly descended from the high platform.

Holding a white jade wine cup, he smiled and approached Xiao Hongdou, “What’s wrong? Miss Hongdou, why are you dazed…”

“Young Master Jiang…”

This was Xiao Hongdou’s first close encounter with Jiang Minghan. She hadn’t expected him to come down from the platform, leaving her stunned.

Realizing this, her eyes widened, her face turned red, and she stammered, clearly extremely nervous.

She had never imagined being so close to this living legend of the younger generation.

“Miss Hongdou, why are you so cute? Am I such a terrifying person that you can’t speak?”

Jiang Minghan laughed softly, his eyes warm and gentle, like a refined gentleman from a painting, untouched by the world.

Hearing this, Xiao Hongdou’s mind went blank, her face turning as red as a cooked shrimp.

Young Master Jiang was… calling her cute?

Xiao Yan, who had been quietly eating and drinking, saw this and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, his expression turning slightly ugly.

But he quickly regained his composure, his other hand clenched under the table.

From the start, he felt Jiang Minghan was not a good person. Using the pretext of helping Qingxu Holy Land, he was merely satisfying his own desires, portraying himself as noble.

But he couldn’t say anything now. He planned to talk to his sister after the banquet, urging her to see through Jiang Minghan’s facade.

He had seen too many people and didn’t believe in perfect, flawless individuals.

Jiang Minghan’s facade of perfection was just a crafted image.

The night deepened as the moon climbed higher.

The banquet, filled with joy for both hosts and guests, was nearing its end.

“Miss Hongdou, it’s getting late. Should I arrange for someone to escort you and your brother back?”

Xiao Hongdou, engaged in conversation with Jiang Minghan about her childhood mishaps, was surprised by his words. She turned to see it was indeed late.

Her face flushed again, realizing she had lost track of time in the conversation.

Jiang Minghan’s playful remark made her realize that despite his brilliance, he was a real person with emotions, not a deity.

Understanding this, she felt more at ease.

In subsequent conversations, she found Jiang Minghan approachable and scholarly, without the aloofness she had imagined, which greatly eased her concerns.
