How to Bring Common Sense to Xianxia World

The moment that title was spoken, the aura around the Fate Weaving Sovereign turned noticeably colder.

However, he kept his emotions under control.

Without another word, the Fate Weaving Sovereign’s figure slowly faded away and disappeared.

Seeing this, Xiao Ye snorted.

"Hmph! Typical..."

He knew that the Fate Weaving Sovereign was not someone to be trusted.

An unreliable and deceitful ally who might betray him at any moment.

But... since he had made a deal with that sly bastard, he needed to constantly watch his back and always, always second-guess everything.

As for the reason why he had to endure this kind of stress?

It was, of course, because of the Fate Weaving Sovereign’s special ability.

He could control and trace the fate of others.

This ability was extremely valuable when it came to tracking down those who possessed fragments of the Heavenly Dao, allowing Xiao Ye to eliminate them and seize those shards for himself.

If not for this specific ability, he might have tried to kill that sly bastard the moment he met him.

People like him should not be allowed to live.

They were difficult to deal with and far too slippery.

But it didn’t matter.

Once that man stopped being useful, it would not be too late to kill him.

— Meanwhile - Emerald River —

At the campsite, the party was once again in full swing. This time, Ximen Hao and his butler joined in on the fun.

Wei Chen and his wives had introduced the games of "friendship" to Ximen Hao: Uno and Monopoly.

It was said that Ximen Hao became so engrossed in the games that he even quarreled with Mo Xingyao over in-game property. Still, all in all, it was a fun and relaxing time for the group.

As the party neared its end, Wei Chen sat down with Ximen Hao, each holding a mug of beer. The two settled in front of the campfire, leaning back in their recliners as they watched the starry sky overhead.

"Haaa~ Seriously, I haven’t felt this relaxed in quite some time," Ximen Hao said as he took a sip of beer and placed the mug on the small table beside his recliner.

"No offense, but weren’t you... I mean... always relaxed?" Wei Chen asked.

"Is your mouth going to rot if you don’t try to ruin someone’s mood?" Ximen Hao retorted.

"But to answer your question, yes... even back then. I didn’t feel refreshed like this. This time feels different."

"Is it because of a mug of cold beer?" Wei Chen joked.

"Maybe that’s part of it, but... you know, the feeling is different. I can’t really put it into words because I don’t know how to describe it. But yeah... I feel better than I did back then," Ximen Hao admitted.

Wei Chen took a sip of his beer and thought for a moment.

"Maybe it’s because you earned this rest. You earned this chance to relax. Back then, you were just relaxing for the sake of relaxing, and you hadn’t done anything to earn it."

Ximen Hao didn’t reply immediately. He simply listened while sipping his beer.

A few minutes later, he finally spoke.

"Maybe..."

Then he fell silent, gazing at the stars as he allowed himself to sink into deep thought.

The two quietly spent their time watching the sky, relaxing and sipping beer.

After a long stretch of silence, Wei Chen spoke again.

"By the way, you called me over here because you wanted to ask me something, right? You’re not the type who’d invite another man out for quality bonding time like this. Or has something changed about you that means I need to watch my back whenever you’re standing behind me?" Wei Chen joked.

Ximen Hao didn’t say anything.

He simply took another sip of beer with his right hand while raising his left hand and giving Wei Chen a middle finger.

After setting his mug down, he let out a sigh.

"Haaa~ I’m going to ask you something. It’s a little awkward to ask in front of everyone else."

"Okay, shoot. What do you want to ask?" Wei Chen said, his interest finally piqued.

"Err... Lady Youqi... is she... one of your wives?"

Crash!!!

Wei Chen’s beer mug slipped from his hand and shattered on the ground.

Beer spilled across his trousers.

He sat there frozen, staring at Ximen Hao as if his brain had suddenly crashed.

"What the f*ck did you just say?" Wei Chen asked, as though he hadn’t heard it the first time.

"I said, is Lady Youqi one of your wi..."

"Mmmmph!"

Before Ximen Hao could finish, Wei Chen immediately covered his mouth and locked him in a headlock.

"Listen, buddy. If you’ve got something against me, just say it. Don’t pull sh*t like this. It’s not funny!" Wei Chen whispered through gritted teeth.

"Mmmm! Mmmm!"

Ximen Hao flailed his arms as he tried to escape the hold, but it was completely futile.

"Now then... I’ll let you go if you promise not to say that nonsense again. Capiche?" Wei Chen asked.

Ximen Hao had no idea what "capiche" meant, but he repeatedly nodded anyway.

He understood exactly what Wei Chen wanted.

Only after receiving the promise did Wei Chen slowly release him.

"Cough! Cough! Cough! What the hell, man!? Why are you so agitated?"

"Oh, if you were me, you’d be a lot more than agitated, buddy," Wei Chen retorted while wiping away non-existent cold sweat.

"Okay, tell me."

Wei Chen leaned forward in his recliner and stared directly at Ximen Hao.

"What the hell gave you that idea? Why do you think she’s my ’W-word’?"

Wei Chen didn’t even dare say the word "wife" in relation to Youqi.

"Well... she seems to take care of you, and she gives off an air of authority. Isn’t she supposed to be..."

Ximen Hao trailed off.

He didn’t say the word either.

Still, the way he gestured toward Wei Chen made his meaning perfectly clear.

Seeing this, Wei Chen massaged his temple.

"God... you’re going to get me killed one day if you keep this up."

"She’s my lady boss. To be exact, she’s the wife of my boss. The big boss. The kind of big boss who could destroy a city with a sneeze."

Wei Chen gestured emphatically to make it absolutely clear that he had no such relationship with Youqi.

"What did you say? She’s... she’s already married?" Ximen Hao’s face fell as though he had just been informed that an asteroid was about to hit the world tomorrow.

"Of course she is. Duh- I called her my lady boss, didn’t I? Her husband is my boss, and I’m his direct subordinate. That naturally makes her my lady boss."

With the repeated confirmation, Ximen Hao looked as though his soul had left his body.

He slowly collapsed back into his recliner and stared blankly at the stars.

Seeing this, Wei Chen finally understood.

"God... don’t tell me you fell for her."

"That’s a guaranteed death road, buddy. There is absolutely no way you’d survive it."

"Do yourself a favor and forget her. Go find a proper wife instead. I’ll even help you."

"As long as she’s not some Heaven’s Chosen Woman, I’ll help. Hell, even if she’s an Empress, I’ll be your wingman!"

Wei Chen tried to comfort him, but it seemed that none of his words actually entered Ximen Hao’s brain.

Wei Chen waved his hand in front of Ximen Hao’s eyes to check whether the guy was still mentally present.

"Hello... Earth to Ximen Hao... Hello~"

For his final test, Wei Chen nudged Ximen Hao’s shoulder, but the guy still didn’t seem to respond.

"Haa... for f*ck’s sake... It really had to come to this, huh?" Wei Chen muttered before standing up and...

Slap!

"What the hell!? Why are you slapping me!?" Ximen Hao immediately shouted back.

"You weren’t responding, man. Are you sure you don’t need a slap or two?" Wei Chen asked with concern. The guy seemed to be down bad for Youqi.

"I get it! I get it! She’s off-limits! I know! I’m not that stupid!" Ximen Hao said as he rubbed the cheek that had been slapped moments ago.

"You’re not stupid?" Wei Chen looked at Ximen Hao with obvious doubt.

"If you keep this up, I’m gonna fight you, you know that?" Ximen Hao said irritably.

"Okay... just don’t get too down about it. Like I said, as long as she’s not someone else’s wife or some Heaven’s Chosen Woman, I’ll be your wingman, buddy."

Wei Chen gave one last attempt at comfort as he patted Ximen Hao on the shoulder.

"Get out of here. You’re starting to annoy me. Go find your wives already," Ximen Hao said irritably as he shooed his friend away.

"Oooohh, salty, aren’t we?" Wei Chen quipped.

Ximen Hao picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Wei Chen.

Wei Chen dodged it easily.

The two quarreled like children for a while before Wei Chen finally left, allowing Ximen Hao to sit alone and sort through the mess in his mind.
