Chapter 846 Is There Any Misunderstanding?

Gao Ge is quite curious about why Xia Shengtang is here all of a sudden.

Xia Shengtang was overbearing before but after being dissed by Xia Lu, he immediately becomes much less aggressive.

“Lu, I... I’m here for Gao Ge,” Xia Shengtang says awkwardly.

He fears nothing in this world but his sister.

He is afraid that his sister may be mad at him.

In his heart, he must take care of Xia Lu all the time, which is also his mother’s last will.

“Ahem, Shengtang, what are you doing here?” Gao Ge rubs his nose and asks.

“I’m here for you.” Xia Shengtang snorts, “Do I even need to tell you what wrong you have done?”

Gao Ge is confused.

He really doesn’t know what wrong he has done...

“Take me up the mountain,” Xia Shengtang says, “I still need to cut you some slack in front of outsiders.”

Gao Ge is speechless.

What the heck is going on?

Yet, judging from Xia Shengtang’s confident attitude, Gao Ge feels a bit flustered.

Does Xia Shengtang really get the goods on him?

Otherwise, why would Xia Shengtang look so confident?

He tries so hard to recall what he has done recently but he still can’t find anything wrong with it.

However, what if he really has done anything wrong?

And he doesn’t even notice it.

He wipes the sweat off his forehead.

He suddenly feels a bit flurried...

However, he still takes Xia Shengtang into the Star Sect.

The bearded man asks Wen Yihuan aside in a low voice, “Is that man really our sovereign’s brother-in-law?”

“Of course.”

“Don’t we need to follow them? I feel that our sovereign’s brother-in-law is rather difficult to deal with. Especially when he took a glance at me, I almost peed on myself.”

Wen Yihuan casts a complicated glance at him, “How can you be so timid?”

“It’s not that I’m timid but that he is too strong.”

“Yeah. That’s true...”

“So do we really not follow them? What if they get into a fight?”

“Even if they do, it’s none of our business. This is his family affair. Do you know what the family affair means? How dare you intend to interfere with the sovereign’s family affair? How can you be so bold?”

“...”

He feels that Wen Yihuan seems to make a good point here...

It is really not appropriate for him to ask about these things.

Yet, he wonders which one is more capable–the sovereign or his brother-in-law.

Well, no matter who is more capable, it has nothing to do with him. Besides, supposedly, they won’t fight too fiercely...

On Mount Duanlong.

In the sovereign’s building.

It is like a spacious villa of antique beauty. Even the door is made of fine Dalbergia odorifera wood, let alone the furniture. There are three floors in the villa. When Gao Ge came here for the first time, he felt it was a bit too big. However, Wen Yihuan said Gao Ge might have several wives in the future so it was necessary for him to have a big villa. Gao Ge is quite speechless about that.

Now, Xia Shengtang looks rather irritated. Sitting on the chair, he doesn’t even take a glance at the tea made by Gao Ge.

“Fine, don’t drink the tea then.” Xia Lu walks forward to pick up the tea and drinks it on her own.

Humph.

Since she is here, how can she let her man suffer wrong?

Of course not!

Xia Shengtang looks at his sister with complicated eyes and heaves a sigh.

People always say that women tend to side with their husbands. He didn’t understand it before but now, he has completely known what it means.

Although he has thought it through, he just doesn’t feel happy about it.

He ponders over it and decides not to have any daughter in the future. Now, even his sister has given him such a severe blow, not to mention how he will feel when his daughter is getting married.

“Ahem. Shengtang, why on earth you came here?” Gao Ge asks.

Xia Shengtang snorts.

“How can you have the cheek to ask me?”

Gao Ge really feels like taking off his shoe to slap Xia Shengtang.

Xia Lu aside cannot take it anymore, “Shengtang, just cut to the chase. Why do you have to talk so acidly?”

Xia Shengtang feels so aggrieved, “I’m here to stand up for you, okay?”

They are both men. Why does his sister treat them so differently?

Gao Ge stares at Xia Shengtang in confusion.

His curiosity has been completely aroused by Xia Shengtang by now.

Gao Ge doesn’t feel that he has done anything unconscientious these days.

Yet, Xia Shengtang looks so ascertain now, which makes Gao Ge a bit unsure.

Can it be that...

Unknowingly...

He has really done something serious?

Seeing Gao Ge’s facial expression, Xia Shengtang snorts.

“You are apprehensive now.”

Gao Ge has no idea what to say.

“If you have done nothing wrong, why do you look flustered?” Xia Shengtang sneers, “You are apprehensive.”

“...”

Gao Ge is going crazy.

What the heck!

How can one not feel flustered faced with Xia Shengtang’s current attitude?

“Shengtang, just get straight to the point now.” Xia Lu also takes a confused look at Gao Ge.

Fine.

Gao Ge wipes the sweat off his forehead.

He does look rather apprehensive now.

“Gao Ge, tell my sister in all conscience whether you have another woman,” Xia Shengtang asks in a stern voice.

This is a serious question.

“Yes.” Gao Ge nods.

Xia Shengtang’s plan is suddenly disrupted.

He is here to denounce Gao Ge but he never expected that Gao Ge would acknowledge it so shamelessly.

Such a blunt attitude makes him fly into a rage.

“I’ve got Meng Jing too. You know her,” Gao Ge hastens to say when he sees Xia Shengtang is about to beat him.

Xia Shengtang is slightly taken aback. He puts down his lifted hand. Meanwhile, the urged aura gradually subsides and the killing intent in his eyes also fades away completely.

Luckily, they are in the Star Sect.

If they were in Xia Lu’s home, Xia Lu’s father might put down the knife now, her uncle might put down the shovel, her grandaunt might let go of Gao Ge’s hair and Xia Lu’s cousin might stop biting Gao Ge’s arm...

“There is no one else apart from Meng Jing?” Xia Shengtang asks.

“Yes, there is no one else.” Gao Ge answers with a calm look and composed eyes.

“Nonsense!” Xia Shengtang bursts into anger. He wants to beat Gao Ge now but if he beats Gao Ge too lightly, it will be of no use. However, if he beats Gao Ge with full strength, now that his sister is around... He suddenly feels that Gao Ge is such a vicious man. Gao Ge is clearly taking Xia Lu as his shield. She has become the hostage!

This is so irritating!

“Shengtang, that’s crazy talk! If Gao Ge has another woman, how can I not know?” Xia Lu scowls.

Xia Shengtang looks at his sister with increasingly complicated eyes. What’s her problem? How can a man tell his girl that he is cheating on her? Of course she has no idea...

“Shengtang, is there any misunderstanding between us?” Gao Ge ventures to ask.
