Chapter 10: Consequences of Fleeing a Marriage [2]

The sun shone brightly over the Qin family mansion.

"What cultivation? No way, Dad!" Qin Haoxuan's wail clearly demonstrated his extreme frustration at this moment.

This attempt to flee his arranged marriage was meant to make his father, mother, and Grandfather Qin understand that his life should not be controlled by anyone.

He had originally planned to stay away for a while, but thinking that Grandfather Qin might actually fall ill, his father might beat his chest and sigh in grief, and his mother would lose her appetite from missing him, he couldn't bear it. Thus, before he had even hidden for three days, he had returned.

Who would have thought that his fate would be to be sent into the deep mountains and old forests to practice asceticism with his hair intact and undergo secluded reflection? Was this real or fake?

According to what his father had just said, it was in a very remote place. There was a mountain, an ancient temple on that mountain, an old monk in the temple, and a fat monk; all that was missing was a lay disciple like him to come along and tag along.

"Dad, university is about to start! I still have to go to school!" Qin Haoxuan racked his brains for a countermeasure.

"Don't worry, I've already handled your leave of absence for you. You can return to school after you come back from your cultivation. I hope by then you will have undergone a complete transformation."

"Um, Mom, Mom definitely won't be able to part with me. Without me, she'll lose her appetite and won't be able to sleep peacefully." Qin Haoxuan hurriedly sat down beside his mother, affectionately hugging her while casting a pleading look her way.

Madam Qin said, "Go on. This time, Mom shares your father's opinion." Seeing her son's handsome face turning pale and then white, she added in a low voice, "Don't worry, Mom has arranged everything for you. Someone will be looking after you."

Nani? He didn't want to go, and he certainly didn't want someone looking after him. Qin Haoxuan spoke with righteous indignation, "Grandpa is still in the hospital. I'll go accompany him and come back later."

If he didn't leave now, when would he?! Qin Haoxuan prepared to slip away, but suddenly a rumbling sound came from outside, growing louder and louder until it was deafening.

A Hummingbird EC120 helicopter was slowly descending onto his family's lawn. What was going on? Qin Haoxuan looked at his father in confusion.

"Your grandfather instructed us that there's no need to visit him; it won't be too late to see him once you return. Go on, your luggage has already been packed. Don't worry about us; Grandpa, your mother, and I will all be here waiting for your return." His father's face was full of kindness.

Enemy contact! There was definitely enemy contact! His father rarely spoke to him in such a gentle, benevolent tone. Thinking back to what happened whenever his father wore such an expression... it was a conspiracy!

However, he was caught between a rock and a hard place. Qin Haoxuan wept inwardly, breaking into a cold sweat as he took his luggage. He waved goodbye with a forced smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely cultivate well and never let everyone down!"

The scent of green grass lingered around his nose, and his whole body felt limp and powerless. It was so cold. He struggled to find a heat source—mm, finally found one. It was so warm and comfortable. Just sleep for a little while.

Mo Qingcheng nuzzled her head toward the heat source, but unexpectedly felt a warm, hard body.

Someone is there!

Mo Qingcheng snapped awake. The alertness of a long-time assassin caused her hand to instinctively squeeze the other person's throat: "Who is it?"

Qin Haoxuan, who had been looking up in thought, was startled by her movement and fierce expression. With his throat being squeezed tightly, he couldn't speak: "Yo... you..."
