illicit relationship

"Young lady, are we still far from that person's house?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"We're almost there." Lan Ruoxi then pointed her right index finger forward. "Did you see that house?"

"House?" Xiao Tian said, "Do you mean that house?"

There was a house several meters from them. The house was surrounded by many trees. Even though the house was small, but the scenery around the house was breathtaking.

Not only were there a lot of green trees around the small house, but there was also a waterfall shed on the right side of the house.

Even though the waterfall was only about two meters high, it still made the scenery around the house even more impressive.

"Yes." Lan Ruoxi answered as she nodded her head.

"Beautiful!" Xiao Tian could only describe the scenery in front of him with one word.

Beautiful!

"Living here must be comfortable." Even though there was no other house except that small house, Xiao Tian was sure the owner of the house must be living happily every day.

The scenery was beautiful, the air was still fresh, and there was also a waterfall near the house. It was as if that place was heaven on earth.

After they arrived at that house, Xiao Tian stood in the front yard, facing the waterfall. "Young lady, let's go to that waterfall later."

"Sure." Lan Ruoxi agreed instantly.

After putting Lan Ruoxi down, Xiao Tian knocked on the door.

*Knock…Knock…Knock….

Xiao Tian kept knocking on the door, but no one answered him.

'Is he not home?'

Like before, Xiao Tian kept knocking on the door.

"Maybe he is not home right now." Lan Ruoxi uttered,

"I think so too." Xiao Tian answered. "Let's sit on that chairs and wait for him to return home."

Then Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi sat on the chairs in front of the house.

"Young lady, when you become my girlfriend later, do you want me to build you a house in a good place like this?" Xiao Tian suddenly wanted to own a house in a nice rural area.

The beautiful scenery and fresh air made him really want to do that.

"Hehe." Lan Ruoxi giggled after hearing his words. "Instead of thinking that far, you should think how to get stronger first because I won't accept you as my lover if you are weaker than me."

The corner of Xiao Tian's lips twitched, "Can you change your condition?"

"No." Lan Ruoxi answered instantly. "If you really want to be my lover, you have to beat me in fight first."

"But you won't change your mind after I beat you later, will you? Like saying, you don't like me because I have a lot of women." Xiao Tian wanted to make sure that Lan Ruoxi would keep her word later.

"You don't need to worry about it." Lan Ruoxi replied. "I can accept your polygamous relationship. All you need to do is beat me in a fight."

Then Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi talked about many things. Seconds turned into minutes, and without realizing it, it had been an hour since they arrived at that house.

"Just where is he?" Xiao Tian could not help but sigh.

"Be patience." Lan Ruoxi could understand Xiao Tian's feelings. "Remember, we are the ones who need his help, so we must not anger him or else our efforts will be in vain later."

"I know." Of course, Xiao Tian knew about that rule. "Luckily, a beautiful young lady is accompanying me. Otherwise, I would have died of boredom by now."

Lan Ruoxi only giggled because she was used to hearing his sweet words. "But didn't you sa-"

Before Lan Ruoxi had finished her words, a voice suddenly rang out from their left side. "What are you doing in front of my house?"

Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi instantly turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

"Is he the person lady Lan was referring to?"

Xiao Tian looked at the old man, who was around fifty-seven years old.

The old man had white hair and blue eyes. Even though he was already old, but his body was still full of vitality.

'My instinct told me that he is a martial arts expert.'

Even though it was his first time meeting the old man, Xiao Tian was ninety-nine percent sure that the old man, who was standing in front of him, was a martial arts expert.

"Hello elder. My name is Xiao Tian and she is Lan Ruoxi." Xiao Tian introduced themselves to that old man. "The reason why we came to your house is that I wish you can help me with something."

Because Xiao Tian needed that old man's help, he spoke and behaved politely. He didn't want the old man to have a bad impression of him on their first meeting because that would make things difficult later on.

"Hello." Lan Ruoxi spoke.

"What is it?" the old man inquired.

"I wish you could make me a sword that can be lengthened or shortened." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. "If you can help me, I will return the favor later. As long as it's within my reach, I'll do whatever you want."

"I can't help you." the elder refused instantly. "I stop making a sword ten years ago."

When the elder was about to enter his house, Lan Ruoxi instantly stopped him and stood in front of the door. "Elder, can you help him? He will remember your kindness and return the favor later."

"Elder, this sword is important to me." Xiao Tian added, "I will remember your kindness forever."

The elder then turned his head towards Xiao Tian and inquired, "Why did you come to my house? There are many blacksmiths in China."

"To be honest, she was the one who recommended you to me." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. "I believe in her. That's why we came to your house."

The elder shifted her gaze from Xiao Tian to Lan Ruoxi, "Her?"

"Yes. I was the one who recommended you to him." Lan Ruoxi uttered,

"You, follow me." The elder said to Lan Ruoxi. "I want to talk with you alone."

Because Xiao Tian thought the elder had bad intentions, he immediately stood in front of Lan Ruoxi. "Elder, I'm the one who needs your help. You can talk to me if you have something to say."

Lan Ruoxi and the elder were startled by Xiao Tian's actions.

"I want to talk to her, not you!" the elder raised his voice a little.

At this moment, a hint of anger was emitting from his body.

Xiao Tian was someone who had gained insight about battle instinct, so he could feel the anger aura around the elder's body.

'Why does he suddenly want to talk to lady Lan?'

Lan Ruoxi was important to him, so he would not let anything bad to happen to her.

Sure, she was much stronger than him, but as a man, it was his job to protect her. "Elder, if you don-"

However, before Xiao Tian had finished his words, Lan Ruoxi spoke, "Little guy, it's fine. Nothing bad will happen to me."

"Young lady, I can feel the aura of anger around him." Xiao Tian said in a low voice. "For this reason, I can't let him talk to you alone."

As Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi were talking, the elder was shocked by their words.

'What?! Young lady? Little guy?'
