Holding Onto My Man Chapter 20 part2

On the day of Mo Haige’s birthday, Mozong will hold a grand dinner. Everyone in the sect, as well as masters from the continent’s group of evil ways that follow on the heels of Mozong, will come to congratulate and present gifts one after another.

Furthermore, this is Mo Haige’s important 18 year old birthday of becoming an adult. Qin Shitian all the more made the people below prepare it well.

At the big square, everyone sat down. In the middle is a huge white jade stone platform in the shape of a square, which is used for song and dance performances. At this moment, a group of beautiful dancers danced enchantingly.

Qin Shitian sat on the other side of the stone platform, facing the guests and the disciples who came to congratulate.

He wore the black robe with dark red patterns and gold lining like before, with a jade crown on his head. This simple way of dressing also can’t conceal his domineering evil spirit. The cold face carried a hint of smile today.

Mo Haige sat in the chair on his left side and the icy face also eased a lot today. In Mozong, no matter how nonchalant the temper is, Mozong’s unruliness is still inevitable.

Currently, he’s leaning on a chair very comfortably, holding a cup of wine and drinking it sip by sip. It’s obviously the same heroic action like everyone else, but it feels more aesthetic when he does it.

On that incomparable and magnificent face, the eyes became blurry due to the wine. His every movement was very elegant, but it was also extremely sultry, which led to the involuntary gulping of the audience.

Qin Shitian’s character is very extreme and there’s also a very strong possessive desire. When he discovered that people were peeking at the person who is the center of his heart, his smile was suddenly taken back and his eyes glanced past them like a knife.

It wasn’t until everyone showed fear by lowering their heads to avoid his sharp gaze and didn’t dare to look at Mo Haige again did he finally withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

“Haige, are you happy today?” He lifted Mo Haige’s smooth and jet black hair, his eyes revealed obsession.

Mo Haige doesn’t like him and his character has always been aloof and unruly, unable to hide the emotions in his heart, the smile on his face disappeared.

The attitude of rejection was shown without courtesy and his expression was cold. “Thank shifu for caring….”

Already used to this attitude of his, Qin Shitian didn’t mind and smiled instead. He boldly drank up the wine in the cup, filled it up, and gave his cup of wine to him while looking at him with a burning gaze.

Facing the cup of wine he handed over, Mo Haige pretty much frowned in an instant, he doesn’t like to be in contact with Qin Shitian.

So he rejected without even thinking, letting Qin Shitian’s aura instantly freeze into ice.

”…..”

The banquet immediately became so quiet that even a needle can be heard. Sect members and the guests secretly wipe their sweat as they look at Qin Shitian, a shiver went up their back and their wrists trembled.

Sect members who know the inside story can’t help but ponder: young sect leader (Mo Haige) dared to go against sect leader’s wish in the presence of so many people, even if you have nothing to fear and don’t like the sect leader, you should at least do some acting in this kind of occasion. Nothing will happen to you when sect leader is angry, but everyone else will bear the brunt of his anger!

Gu Bai is the most pitiful one at this moment, who told him to stand behind Qin Shitian and be the closest to him. When Qin Shitian is angry, the first to be injured by the pressure is him. His cultivation is low and the pressure of a powerhouse is enough to kill him.

For the sake of his little life, Gu Bai had no choice but to summon courage and go up to him.

”Sect leader, didn’t you prepare a gift for young sect leader? Quickly take it out, I believe that young sect leader will like it….”

For Mo Haige’s 18 year old birthday, Qin Shitian went to the extremely cold land of the northwest very early on. He went through many untold hardships to search for the Eternal Jadeite* on the ground and personally carved it into a jade pendant.

*Jadeite – the rarer and more valuable form of jade

Not only is the appearance of this gift exquisite, the energy contained in the Eternal Jadeite can also help with cultivation, the speed of cultivation will be much faster than the average person. In addition, Qin Shitian injected a bit of his own vital spirit into it, making it even more powerful*, it’s a cultivation treasure that’s hard to find in this world.

*like a tiger that has grown wings (idiom)

Gu Bai’s voice is like a clear spring, reeling back Qin Shitian’s anger.

He turned his head sideways to take a look at Gu Bai and found out that the youth’s face was pale with bloodstains on the corners of his mouth. He frowned and the expression on his face eased a lot.

Qin Shitian withdrew the pressure on his body and flung a bottle of wound medicine to Gu Bai. He continued to look at Mo Haige as he took out a nanmu* brocade box and handed it over. He took a deep breath and spoke warmly.

*a type of wood that was frequently used for wood art in China.

“This is the Eternal Jadeite from the gelid land. After you wear it, it can help with cultivation….”

Eternal Jadeite? The guests and sect members revealed of a look of envy once they heard it. That thing is rare and very hard to find, it’s what cultivators dream* of.

*to yearn for something even in one’s dreams (idiom)

Aside from top powerhouses, ordinary people won’t even hope for this kind of thing. They have long heard that Mozong’s sect leader dote on his disciple incessantly and now it seems like the rumors are true.

Gu Bai couldn’t help but look at the brocade box and secretly thought that Qin Shitian is indeed foolishly in love with Mo Haige to the bones…

However, Mo Haige has no idea of other people’s admiration. No matter how precious the things are, as long as it’s passed by Qin Shitian, it will become worthless to him.

”Thank shifu….”

He expressionlessly gave thanks when receiving the brocade box, but in the process of handing it over, Qin Shitian touched his hand by accident. Mo Haige was suddenly startled and he fiercely flung Qin Shitian away as if he touched something poisonous.

The action came too fast and no one was able to react until the jade pendant broke into several pieces on the steps as it fell out when the brocade box landed. The crowd finally gulped and started sweating profusely, they stood in the same position and didn’t dare to move.

Gu Bai’s body also stiffened when he saw the jade pendant that broke into pieces. This is the precious treasure dug out from the gelid land a thousand feet below! ! !

Mo Haige also realized that his reaction was too big. His face paled and he looked at Qin Shitian submissively, “Shifu, sorry, I….”

”MO-HAI-GE!”

The action of flinging him away like the plague instantly turned Qin Shitian’s eyes red from anger, the oppressive air from his whole body soared and even his robe fluttered.

He grabbed Mo Haige’s neck and pulled the man into his arms. He confined Mo Haige and strode away haughtily.

Gu Bai took a look at the direction of Qin Shitian’s departure and was shocked that he’s heading to his living quarters. He immediately said in his heart that this won’t be good.

According to Qin Shitian’s character, it’s absolutely impossible to kill Mo Haige. A man in rage, he’s most likely angered to the point of being muddled and wants to do him directly? After all, Qin Shitian has been thinking of Mo Haige for a long time.

No, no, absolutely can’t let Qin Shitian obtain Mo Haige, otherwise Qin Shitian won’t be able to let go even more in the future, and then it will become a tragic series of foolish love! He won’t be able to complete the mission!

Must obstruck!

Gu Bai put on a serious face and gathered up his thoughts*, then he promptly squatted down and collected the broken pieces of jade before he hurriedly chased after them…..

*to become mentally composed/to prepare yourself for something you are going to do, especially something difficult
