I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Chapter 353

However, the incidents of the past few days have gradually shattered Xie Xuanji’s assumptions one by one. It’s not that Xie Xuanji had become dazzling; it’s just that Xie Xuanchen no longer shone.

The moment Xie Xuanchen made his comeback, Xie Xuanji would have no strength to fight back. He was still the humble little star as not a single thing had changed.

Xie Xuanji also knew that there was going to be no end to comparison. A mature man should focus on the overall situation instead of being calculative of every win or loss. Xie Xuanji could admit that he was inferior to Xie Xuanchen in martial arts and literacy, but he couldn’t accept the fact that all of his women adored Xie Xuanchen in their hearts.

Jiang Mingwei still missed Xie Xuanchen despite the many years that passed and Wan Yanduo only followed him because she was rejected by Xie Xuanchen. Nevertheless, the most obvious change was in Mu Mingtang. During the days when she was Xie Xuanji’s fiancée, she was always alienated and indifferent. She cloaked herself in the shadow of another person and never crossed the threshold of familiarity with him. But now, when she looked at Xie Xuanchen, she was just full of joy and brilliance.

That’s the look you would have when you liked someone.

Xie Xuanji didn’t want to see anything anymore, so he merely turned around and left. Xie Xuanji didn’t notice it, but after he left, Xie Xuanchen glanced in his direction. Mu Mingtang noticed his movements and turned to look as well, “What are you looking at?”

Xie Xuanchen quickly covered Mu Mingtang’s eyes, turning the girl around, “I wasn’t looking at anything, let’s go back”

“What are we going back for? You didn’t see Xiao Siyi just now, but she was pissed to the point where she was kicking the railings. If we go back again, wouldn’t it add fuel to the fire?”

Xie Xuanchen let out a sigh, “I can’t help it. Who would have thought that after so many years, Beirong didn’t even try to improve their skills in the slightest.”

Mu Mingtang paused for a moment and persuaded him sincerely, “They’re still here, so please speak with politeness”

“It’s a good thing if they hear me. Out of a bunch of useless twats, not a single one has the skills to actually play. If they hear me, at least it would motivate them to return and properly learn the art of horse riding.”

The polo match between the Ye Dynasty and Beirong almost seemed like a warm-up match, but this match felt like a stone being thrown in the centre of a lake, causing waves of fluctuations.

Xie Xuanchen’s battle today was tantamount to telling the world that he was still healthy and strong. Despite two years of inactivity, he made sure to show that he was still able to win Beirong.

Either way, after watching the game, everyone’s mental state was a bit disoriented. Didn’t Xie Xuanchen’s grave illness signify the end of his prime time?

Was this the supposed state of a seriously ill patient? This outcome was the state of his fall?

Looking at him now, he didn’t resemble the appearance of someone who was going to pass from illness. He had always been the Great Demon King— past or present. Back then, he made no effort to hide his abilities and fully utilised his skills on the battlefield. However, it didn’t mean that his martial skills had weakened; it only meant that he was concealing it well.

He was always there, but now, Xie Xuanchen has returned.

After the game, both the people of Beirong and the supporters in the Ye Dynsaty broke into an uproar of loud discussions. The big shots were good at hiding their intentions, but for the time being, many middle and low-level courtiers have already begun to second guess the current political direction. If Prince An was still alive, healthy and strong, then he should still be considered the next in line to the throne.
