Chapter 33 Confrontation, No More Pretending

“Congratulations, you’re famous.” Qin Mu smiled at Bai Yanbing.

“What’s wrong with that? Let them say it.” Bai Yanbing did not care and seemed very calm.

“You want to advertise your sect, right?” Qin Mu was speechless.

“I’ll return to the company first. You two can slowly gather.” Bai Yanbing saw Qin Mu and Xia Qiushui snuggling together and turned her face slightly. She really didn’t want Qin Mu to interact with too many women, or her status would be threatened.

But was that possible?

Bai Yanbing quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

At this moment, there were only Qin Mu and Xia Qiushui.

“Qin Mu…”

“What’s wrong?” Qin Mu looked at Xia Qiushui with concern.

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Xia Qiushui wanted to pretend to be very calm, but her eyes could not help but reveal some tears.

“I…” Qin Mu was stunned and at a loss. Why did she look so aggrieved? Did he do something wrong? No.

“Brother, she might have discovered your identity,” Heavenly Treasure reminded.

“When…”

“I remember now… It’s the scene just now. Sigh, I was careless. Forget it, forget it. I’ll know sooner or later.” Qin Mu thought for a moment with mixed emotions and finally decided to show his cards.

“Since you’ve guessed it, I’ll stop pretending and show my cards.”

“I am Immortal Emperor Qin Ming.”

The immortal power on Qin Mu’s body seemed to have been unlocked. It surged out like a tide and colorful clouds appeared in the surroundings.

However, in the blink of an eye, they vanished.

Xia Qiushui looked at Qin Mu’s methods and asked directly, “You hid your cultivation?” “Yes.”

Qin Mu nodded obediently.

“Qin Mu, Qin Ming. I should have thought of it long ago.” Xia Qiushui laughed at herself.

“So ever since the Dao Companion Ranking appeared, you have been by my side, but I didn’t notice.”

“I knew it. How can you know Bai Yanbing? So it’s because of this relationship.” Xia Qiushui recalled. Many things that happened to Qin Mu felt that it was a little unreasonable, but as long as one included the identity of an Immortal Emperor, everything would be perfect.

For example, one was a school security guard and the other was the chairman of a listed company. If not for the intimacy value of the Dao Companion Ranking, how could Qin Mu know Bai Yanbing?

“Bai Yanbing should also know your identity, right?” Xia Qiushui asked.

“Yes, she guessed it long ago.”

“So I’m the only one who’s kept in the dark.”

Xia Qiushui suddenly felt like a fool.

When Qin Mu saw this, he went forward and hugged Xia Qiushui’s shoulder. He consoled her softly, “Qiushui, don’t feel sorry for yourself. I hid my identity to protect you and everything around you, including Jianghai University.”

“Protect me?”

“Yes, if my identity is exposed, the first to suffer will definitely not be me, but you

guys.”

Qin Mu’s gaze darkened slightly, “I’m the Immortal Emperor. They naturally don’t dare to provoke me. However, they can use you to threaten me, including my parents, my sect, and my friends.”

Xia Qiushui glared, “How can they dare to threaten an Immortal Emperor? What’s the difference between that and courting death?”

“You underestimate the ambitions and sick mentality of humans. As long as I pay a heavy price for this, they will do it even if they die. Those enemies in the dark are not just humans.” Qin Mu shook his head with a bitter smile.

“So you killed Mr. Ito and resolved the crisis of Jianghai University. You also resolved the hooligans just now?”

Qin Mu nodded and admitted it.

“When the Ghost Kingdom’s army invaded, you attacked to save me?”

“That’s right. I originally planned to attack at the critical moment, but I didn’t expect you to be among the cultivators.” Qin Mu confirmed again.

When Xia Qiushui learned of what Qin Mu had done for her, the tears in the corners of her eyes could no longer be held back. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Qin Mu tightly.

The two of them hugged for a long time.

“I have one last question.” Xia Qiushui looked up and said seriously.

“Go ahead.”

“Was it part of your arrangements the first time we met?” Xia Qiushui’s eyes were very serious, as if she took this question very seriously.

“Of course not. That night was really a coincidence. I was still driving that day. It’s naturally true that I work two jobs a day.” Qin Mu naturally told the truth.

“Who knew that we would meet by chance and become friends…” As Qin Mu spoke, he discovered that the other party was staring at him without moving.

“Thank you, Qin Mu.” Xia Qiushui suddenly thanked him.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Mu felt that the other party was in a strange state.

Xia Qiushui looked away and clasped her hands behind her back. She began to talk about her experience, “Ever since I was born, I was despised by my family. Just because I was not a boy and could not inherit the family’s business, I had always been treated coldly and despised by the family. From then on, I swore that I would be looked up to and become someone they could look up to. But no matter what I did, be it my friends or classmates, they felt that it was my family who had brought me success! Be it taking the university entrance exam or the postgraduate entrance exam, I wanted to prove myself through them. However, in exchange, I was still treated coldly by the people around me… and mocked.”

Speaking of this, Xia Qiushui sighed and continued, “My best friends are all criticizing me. Why am I working so hard? In any case, I won’t have to worry about food and clothes for the rest of my life. Can’t I enjoy it? They don’t understand me at all, nor do they understand my aspiration.”

“Even the few boyfriends I had were targeting my family business. The glory of the family has already completely covered me. I’m just a daughter of a wealthy family, a flower vase.”

Tears appeared in Xia Qiushui’s eyes again.

“But later, I met you.”

Qin Mu remained silent and listened quietly without interrupting her. He now understood why Xia Qiushui wanted to join the Immortal Management Division. She wanted to prove her value and did not want to be overshadowed by her family.

Xia Qiushui’s eyes lit up. Her tone could not be any gentler, “It’s you who made me realize that I can be treated like an ordinary person.” “The first time I saw you was in the security post at the school gate. You were very ordinary, but that calm gaze made me feel equal. However, you immediately turned around and left. At that time, I thought, what kind of person are you?”

“I didn’t expect fate to be so kind as to let me meet you again.”

“Were you pretending to be drunk that night?” Qin Mu finally understood.

“That’s right. In order to avoid Jiang Cheng’s pursuit, I had no choice but to do this.” Xia Qiushui nodded.

“You saw the Porsche, but you were not tempted. You were willing to stand up for Jiang Cheng. At that time, I thought that there were still righteous people in the world.”

Qin Mu’s eyes softened inexplicably. These were details he didn’t know before.

“After that, I also felt that being with you didn’t involve our identities or benefits. I was happy and fulfilled.”

When Qin Mu heard this, he went forward and hugged her. He whispered in her ear, “It is because the person I really like is yours.”

Xia Qiushui’s body trembled slightly.

The other party actually covered her mouth!

“Wu…”

“Mm!”
