What can you do about life when desires remain unfulfilled

Qin Hao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly:

"It's fine. If you don't like them, I won't bring them next time. But since these flowers have already been picked, you should just accept them."

Hearing this, Xu Siya quickly took the ginger lilies from Qin Hao's hands, then lowered her head to sniff them:

"They smell wonderful. I really like them, thank you."

Xu Siya was about to say something else when she saw Qin Hao suddenly take a step forward, blocking her front.

Xu Siya paused for a moment, then looked in the direction of Qin Hao's gaze, only to see a streak of light rapidly approaching.

Xu Siya frowned, an ominous feeling rising in her heart.

The streak of light flashed across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a figure landed right in front of Qin Hao and Xu Siya.

It was a young man, imposing and full of high-spirited vigor.

Seeing the newcomer, Xu Siya felt he looked familiar. Looking at the person before her, a small figure surfaced in her mind. Then, she asked tentatively:

"Are you... Li Mu?"

Seeing that Xu Siya still remembered him, a brilliant smile bloomed on Li Mu's face:

"Siya, long time no see. I came back to Northern Profound City with my father to have a look."

In truth, how could it just be a simple visit with Li Yuan to Northern Profound City? He had liked Xu Siya since childhood, but his youthful crush had been silenced by her status as the City Lord's daughter.

But things were different now. Li Mu was currently a disciple of the Profound Heaven Holy Land. The Profound Heaven Holy Land was the strongest holy land in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens. Even if one was just an outer disciple there, their future achievements would be far beyond what any cultivator in Northern Profound City could compare to.

Li Mu believed that he was now qualified to marry Xu Siya, so he had urged his father to return and propose marriage.

Li Yuan had initially disagreed. He felt that since his son Li Mu was now a disciple of the Profound Heaven Holy Land, how could the daughter of a mere Northern Profound City Lord be worthy of him?

But he couldn't overcome Li Mu's infatuation with Xu Siya. Li Mu declared that he would marry no one else in this lifetime but her. Left with no choice, Li Yuan brought Li Mu to Northern Profound City to propose.

Originally, everything was proceeding according to Li Mu's plan. But who could have expected that Qin Hao would suddenly appear halfway like an unexpected interloper.

When Li Yuan told him that Xu Siya now had someone she liked and told him to give up, only Li Mu knew how unwilling he was deep down.

That was the person he had liked since his ignorant youth, someone he hadn't forgotten even after leaving for ten years! How could he be willing to just give up?

He couldn't care less anymore. He had to fight for her. He might not succeed even if he fought, but if he didn't, he could only watch his white moonlight become another man's woman!

Li Mu's gaze fell upon Qin Hao. He looked Qin Hao up and down, and when he saw Qin Hao's face, his pupils contracted slightly.

As a fellow man, Li Mu had to admit that this guy was truly handsome. He somewhat understood why Xu Siya would reject his proposal for Qin Hao.

But soon, that trace of reluctance in his heart morphed into disdain and contempt:

"Hahaha, an ordinary person? He doesn't even have any cultivation base; he's just an ordinary person!"

Li Mu paused for a moment, then burst into loud laughter:

"Siya, is this the person you like? You rejected my proposal for him?"

Hearing this, Xu Siya's face instantly flushed red. She lowered her head and denied it, "Don't, don't talk nonsense. Ah Cheng and I are just ordinary friends. I rejected you simply because I don't like you. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

After speaking, Xu Siya secretly glanced at Qin Hao. Seeing his expressionless face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, a sudden sense of disappointment arose in her heart.

Li Mu curled his lip. "Nothing to do with him? Heh, you're just afraid I'll teach him a lesson!"

Li Mu's contempt practically overflowed from his eyes. He circled Qin Hao, looking at him as if he were an ant, his gaze carrying three parts disdain and seven parts mockery.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Li Mu smacked his lips. "Siya, you can reject me, but rejecting me for such a cripple, what do you expect me to think?"

Saying this, Li Mu stopped walking, stood in front of Qin Hao, and poked Qin Hao's shoulder with a finger:

"Hey, why aren't you speaking? Did calling you a piece of trash hit a sore spot? You don't even dare to speak now?"

Hearing Li Mu's provocation toward Qin Hao, Xu Siya's face drastically changed in fright, her heart almost leaping out of her throat:

"Li Mu! What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up right now! Apologize to Ah Cheng!"

Xu Siya practically roared this out, her voice so shrill that it even startled herself.

Li Mu was stunned by her shout. His expression stiffened, and he looked at Xu Siya in utter disbelief:

"Siya, you are yelling at me for such a piece of trash? Do you know my current status?"

Ever since he joined the Profound Heaven Holy Land, the attitude of the people around Li Mu had become respectful. Even his parents consulted him on everything, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

But now, Xu Siya was actually shouting at him, all because of this trash in front of them who didn't even have a cultivation base!

Xu Siya ignored him. Instead, she took a step forward and shoved Li Mu away:

"Get lost! Stop causing trouble here."

Xu Siya looked at Li Mu as if she were looking at an idiot. What status? Weren't you just an outer disciple of the Profound Heaven Holy Land?

Did he know who this person he called trash was? This was the son of an Immortal Emperor. Even Ah Cheng's nephew was a mighty Immortal King. For him to dare call him trash, he truly didn't know how the word death was written.

Li Mu knew none of this. From his perspective, just because he had spoken a few words of truth, not only did Xu Siya yell at him, but she also shoved him and told him to get lost.

Li Mu laughed, his smile carrying a hint of bitterness:

"Are you protecting him that much? Siya, do you remember? When we were kids, you also told me that you would protect me for a lifetime! But now, you treat me like this for such a person?"

As he spoke, Li Mu looked at Qin Hao, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes:

"Boy, can you only hide behind a woman? If you have the guts, face me head-on."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot. You're a piece of trash without any cultivation. What qualifications do you have to compete with me?"

At this moment, Qin Hao, who had been silent all along, spoke up. He looked at Xu Siya and revealed a smile:

"Siya, you wouldn't mind if I beat him up, would you?"

Qin Hao didn't know what kind of strength he possessed either, but in his eyes, Li Mu was truly weak, so weak that it felt like he could crush him to death just by waving his hand.

Qin Hao believed his instincts wouldn't be wrong. This guy shouldn't be his match.

"Hahahahaha, who are you going to beat up?"
