Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1877

Chapter 1877 Ren Xia's Demands(2)

"What…?"

A mixture of surprise and puzzlement appeared on Tian Yang's face after he heard Ren Xia's demands.

"You want to follow me? I don't understand. Can you elaborate?"

Ren Xia's expression remained serious as she explained, "It's exactly as it sounds. I want to follow you as a traveling partner. Wherever you go, I want to be by your side."

Tian Yang only became more puzzled by her explanation and continued to ask, "But why would you want to do that?"

"I have my own reasons."

"..."

For Ren Xia to follow him, she would essentially be abandoning her family, her status, and everything she had built until now. Tian Yang couldn't fathom why she would make such a drastic choice.

Even if she harbored feelings for him, it was hard to believe that she would cast aside her entire life just for his sake

'What if she wants to follow me to uncover Han Zexian's legacy, thinking I've inherited it?' Tian Yang wondered.

There was also the unsettling possibility that she was acting under the orders of the Nine Immortal Clans. No matter how sincere she seemed, he couldn't ignore the reality that Ren Xia was one of them. Moreover, she was not just any member but a young lady of the Nine Immortal Clans, someone whose status rivaled even the elders.

As much as Tian Yang wanted to trust her, experience had taught him otherwise. He had grown wary of everything and everyone, knowing that trust was a luxury he could no longer afford.

However, Ren Xia had been nothing but helpful to him thus far, and despite his wariness, he couldn't sense any ill intent from her.

Eventually, Tian Yang decided to trust her.

"Are you sure you want to do this? There's no going back once it's done," Tian Yang said a moment later.

Ren Xia calmly nodded, "I have resolved myself even before I reached out to you."

"Fine, I'll accept your demand. When do you want to do this?"

"Let's do it tomorrow."

For the next few hours, Ren Xia and Tian Yang meticulously reviewed their plans, going over every detail multiple times to ensure there were no missteps.

Once they were certain everything was in place, Ren Xia took her leave, returning home as if nothing had changed. Meanwhile, Tian Yang vanished into the shadows, disappearing to an unknown destination.

The following day, Ren Xia's mother approached her with a calm yet authoritative tone.

"We've decided that you'll be engaged to Ling Zhan, the fifth eldest young master of the Immortal Spirit Clan."

Ren Xia's expression didn't waver, but deep inside, a chill ran down her spine.

She was no stranger to that name. Ling Zhan's reputation preceded him—not for his talents or achievements, but for the unsettling rumors that clung to him like a shadow. He was known as a playboy with a particular fetish, one that made even his own family members tremble when mentioned.

"So our Immortal Sword Clan is that desperate for power, huh?" Ren Xia sighed out loud as she shook her head.
