Chapter 620 - Husband and Wife Reunion

"Is that kid frozen in fear? He\'s not even trying to dodge!" whispered some onlookers as they watched the fight without intent on intervening.

In the blink of an eye, Peng Bin\'s fist was just inches away from Liu Wuxie\'s face, and he let out a sinister laughter.

Right at this moment, a loud thud reverberated through the air. No one was optimistic about Liu Wuxie, but they watched as Liu Wuxie raised his right leg to deliver a powerful kick to Peng Bin\'s chest when the punch was about to reach him.

Liu Wuxie\'s move was perfectly timed—so precise that it felt as though Liu Wuxie had calculated everything to a fraction of a second. Peng Bin\'s fist would\'ve landed on his head if he had been any slower.

Peng Bin drew an arc in the air before he fell into the snow. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips because Liu Wuxie held back with no intention to kill. Otherwise, Peng Bin would\'ve been a corpse by now. He could even kill opponents in the pinnacle of the Astral River Realm, not to mention someone in the fifth level of the Astral River Realm.

The remaining Indigo Cloud Gate\'s disciples were stunned. They couldn\'t believe that Peng Bin had lost so thoroughly.

"How dare you launch a sneak attack on Senior Brother Peng!" The other three Indigo Cloud Gate disciples quickly surrounded Liu Wuxie as their hostility mounted.

"Who allowed you to fight here!" a cold voice echoed behind Liu Wuxie, carrying an unquestionable prestige in his tone. This could only be done by someone who held a position of power for a long time.

"I-It\'s Senior Brother Bai Yuan!" The three Indigo Cloud Gate\'s disciples shuddered at the sight of the white-clothed youth.

"We\'ll leave immediately!" The three Indigo Cloud Gate\'s disciples quickly grabbed onto Peng Bin and scurried away, leaving their anger and thirst for revenge behind.

Liu Wuxie was curious about this "Bai Yuan," who could scare the three Indigo Cloud Gate\'s disciples only with his voice. But when he turned around, he was stunned at the sight of a familiar figure.

Beside her was a white-clothed youth, and they looked like the perfect couple.

"It\'s Young Master Bai Yuan!" Exclamations echoed from the surroundings as no one expected Bai Yuan to appear.

"That must be Lady Xu, and they look like a perfect couple together!" The surrounding voices flooded Liu Wuxie\'s mind.

Liu Wuxie learned that this white-clothed youth was called Bai Yuan, and he knew more about the woman than anyone else. Liu Wuxie and Xu Lingxue looked at each other, their gazes filled with unspoken emotions.

Xu Lingxue was equally stunned at the sight of Liu Wuxie. She had been missing this person for the past two years and had planned to return to the mundane world after the Ten Grand Ceremony to fetch Liu Wuxie to the cultivation world. However, she didn\'t expect to see him here, representing the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

"I\'m glad to see you\'re fine," Liu Wuxie said, casting a brief glance at Bai Yuan before turning to leave.

His words struck Xu Lingxue\'s heart like a thousand needles, and she knew he had misunderstood her relationship with Bai Yuan. Otherwise, why would they be standing together?

"Wait up!" Xu Lingxue called out to Liu Wuxie.

Everyone was stunned at this sight. They couldn\'t believe Liu Wuxie really knew Xu Lingxue, and even the Misty Sect\'s disciples were stunned.

"Do you need something?" Liu Wuxie turned around with his eyes cold. The glimmer of hope had vanished because he realized that perhaps they were never meant to be together.

"Come with me!" To everyone\'s astonishment, Xu Lingxue took Liu Wuxie\'s hand and led him to a secluded spot, which left everyone dumbfounded.

"What\'s going on? Lady Xu left holding a man\'s hand?" Confusion spread among the crowd.

Bai Yuan\'s face darkened, his expression grim, and a trace of murderous intent flickered in his eyes. He had delved into Xu Lingxue\'s background more thoroughly than anyone in his pursuit of her.

Xu Lingxue had told him that she already had a husband, and it was clear that Liu Wuxie was the person she spoke of.

Not many people knew of Xu Lingxue\'s information, even in the Misty Sect.

"This is weird... hasn\'t Young Master Bai been pursuing Lady Xu? Why did she leave with another man, holding his hand?" someone whispered, fearing Bai Yuan\'s wrath.

"Hush! You won\'t even know how you die if he hears you," everyone\'s voices were soft.

However, Bai Yuan was already on his way into the Nascent Transformation Realm. Thus, he could naturally hear what everyone was saying. His expression turned grim, and murderous intent swept out from him.

After Xu Lingxue brought Liu Wuxie to a secluded corner, she finally let go of him. They were only half a step apart, and Liu Wuxie could smell the fragrance she gave off.

"When did you come to the cultivation world? How are my parents?" Xu Lingxue asked emotionally. It had been two years since they had last met, and she had many questions for him.

"I participated in the Battle of Hundred Nations a year ago and came to the cultivation world. Your parents are well and fine," Liu Wuxie said, and Xu Lingxue finally felt relieved upon hearing that her parents were doing well.

"That young man is Bai Yuan, and he\'s the son of the Heavenly Origin Sect\'s Sect Master," Xu Lingxue explained when she noticed the pained look in Liu Wuxie\'s eyes.

"There\'s no need to explain. There was never anything real between us, and our relationship is only a formality," Liu Wuxie said, waving his hand. There was no need for Xu Lingxue to explain anything because their marriage was only on paper.

Xu Lingxue\'s heart ached at his words, knowing he had misunderstood.

"This is all the sect master\'s arrangement!" Xu Lingxue said with a hint of pain in her eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed.

"No one can force you to do anything you don\'t want now that I\'m here," Liu Wuxie said, pulling Xu Lingxue into his embrace.

"No one can force you to do anything you don\'t want now that I\'m here," Liu Wuxie said, pulling Xu Lingxue into his embrace.

At first, Xu Lingxue resisted, her hands pressing lightly against his chest, but she soon gave in, melting into his arms. Even Liu Wuxie couldn’t fully understand what compelled him to hold her, but he couldn’t stop himself. Though their marriage had never been consummated, it still bound them on paper.

As a man, Liu Wuxie was responsible for protecting his wife and not letting her suffer any grievance. He could tell that she wasn\'t willing to interact with Bai Yuan, and this was the arrangement of the sect master.

They stood in each other’s arms for a long, quiet moment before Xu Lingxue gently pulled away. A shy blush bloomed across her face as she lowered her head, avoiding Liu Wuxie’s gaze.

Liu Wuxie was also in a good mood after the misunderstanding was lifted.

"What happened earlier? Why did you start a fight with the Indigo Cloud Gate\'s disciples?" Xu Lingxue asked, her tone laced with concern. She knew Liu Wuxie well enough to recognize that he had rarely initiated conflict during their time at the Imperial Academy. She had always paid close attention to anything involving him, even if he hadn’t realized it.

"They\'re just a few clowns!" Liu Wuxie said, brushing it off as there was no need to mention it now that it had passed.

The two found a spot to chat, especially about their childhood memories, which brought smiles to their faces when they recalled the innocent days.

"We should return before they start to worry," Xu Lingxue whispered. The sect might send someone to look for her if they didn\'t return sooner.

Liu Wuxie nodded as they returned together. A crowd was still gathered, and when the two returned, they looked at them curiously.

"Senior Sister Xu, who\'s he?" A few Indigo Cloud Gate disciples came over and even linked arms with Xu Lingxue.

After all, Liu Wuxie didn’t look remarkable or possess exceptionally high cultivation. Men like him were far too common in the Southern Province.

“He’s Liu Wuxie, my husband,” Xu Lingxue declared, her voice steady despite the turmoil within her. Her words sent shockwaves through everyone present, including Liu Wuxie himself. It had taken all of her courage to introduce him as her husband.

“What?!” The Indigo Cloud Gate disciples were frozen in shock, struggling to process what they had just heard. Their disbelief mirrored that of the disciples from other sects, who exchanged incredulous glances, unable to comprehend the revelation.

The Heavenly Origin Sect was geographically close to the Misty Sect and the Indigo Cloud Gate, with only a day\'s travel separating it from the Misty Sect.

The ten major sects were scattered throughout the Southern Province. Vast distances separated the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and Heavenly Origin Sect. Thus, they rarely interacted.

Of the ten major sects, the Sky Rift Valley, the Azure Crimson Gate, and the Demonic Heart Palace were closely located together.

The Dugu Clan and Divine Sun Palace were close together. Lastly, the Transcending Plume Gate was situated in the center of the Southern Province and often interacted with the other sects.

Most of the people gathered nearby were from the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Indigo Cloud Gate, so it was unsurprising that none of them recognized Liu Wuxie.

"Senior sister, you must be joking. How can you be interested in a country bumpkin like him?" The Misty Sect\'s disciples were baffled. Their senior sister was a fairy from heaven, and only someone like Bai Yuan could be a match for her.

"Don’t speak of him that way!" Xu Lingxue’s expression turned icy, her displeasure evident. She wouldn’t tolerate anyone insulting Liu Wuxie. Without him, the Xu Clan would have been destroyed long ago. Liu Wuxie had stood alone before the Xu Clan’s estate, fending off their enemies to protect her family.

Her cold glare silenced the Misty Sect\'s disciples, leaving them with no choice but to direct resentful stares at Liu Wuxie.

"Junior Sister Xu, you haven\'t introduced us. May I know his name?" Bai Yuan came over with a smile. Despite the smile on his face, there was a hint of murderous intent in the depth of his eyes. He concealed it well but not well enough to escape Liu Wuxie’s notice.

"This is my husband, Liu Wuxie, a disciple of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."

"This is Bai Yuan, son of the Heavenly Origin Sect\'s sect master," Xu Lingxue introduced. She didn\'t know that the Heavenly Origin Sect wanted Liu Wuxie dead. She purposely highlighted that Liu Wuxie was her husband, hoping that Bai Yuan wouldn\'t bug her.

"So, you\'re Young Master Liu? I\'ve been hearing about you, and you truly deserve your reputation," Bai Yuan laughed and clasped his hands together at Liu Wuxie.

"Oh? Have you heard of me?" Liu Wuxie returned the greeting but with a cold smile.
