My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading-Chapter 257: The Father Appears
Hearing her arrogant words, Feng Fan couldn't help but laugh heartily.
He recalled what she had said when they first arrived at Red Pole. She had promised that no one would dare harm him as long as she was there.
He even remembers hearing her thoughts at that time, about how she would wipe out an entire clan just if one idiot dared to offend him.

The people around looked at Feng Fan laughing like a madman, and a single thought crossed their minds.
"This couple is unhinged! Let's get out of here before we get dragged into their mess!"
"Run! The Cai family is going to kill everyone who was here when they find out!"
The two beauties accompanying the Cai family's Young Master trembled in fear, unsure of what to do. If they left, the patriarch would go after them for abandoning his son. But if they stayed, what could they do? Wait for the crazy couple to kill them too?
"You damn woman, how dare you attack Young Master?!"
One of the remaining guards, still too arrogant and dense to realize the gravity of the situation, drew his sword from the scabbard on his waist and lunged at Xue Qiang.
Xue Qiang barely acknowledged his presence. With a flick of her sleeve, the guard was sent flying through the air and crashed into the same stone wall his young master had hit earlier. His body landed on top of the unconscious heap of his comrades, adding one more body to the pile of waste.
Xue Qiang's cold expression melted into a soft smile as she turned to Feng Fan, completely unconcerned with the chaos she had caused.
"Look, Fanfan, the people left. It's our turn to buy the tickets," she said cheerfully, as if the commotion a moment ago wasn't their problem at all.
Feng Fan smiled bitterly and walked up to the counter, where the clerk was trembling like a leaf in the wind.
"Excuse me, how much are two tickets for the play?"
His words seemed to jolt the clerk out of his daze. "T-T-Two silver coins, s-sir."
Feng Fan thought for a moment but realized he didn't have any metal coins in his spatial ring. Instead, he pulled out a mid-grade qi stone and handed it to the clerk.
"I don't have any mortal coins. Is this qi stone enough to cover the tickets?"
The clerk's eyes widened in shock, his expression shifting between surprise and greed. The mid-grade qi stone in front of him was worth more than decades of his salary!
"Enough! More than enough!" he exclaimed, hurriedly handing over two tickets before tucking the qi stone into his pocket and vanishing into the back room without a second glance.
Feng Fan shook his head at the clerk's behavior but didn't bother to dwell on it. With the tickets in hand, he walked back to Xue Qiang and offered her one of them with a soft smile.
"Got the tickets. Let's go inside," he said.
Xue Qiang's eyes lit up, and she slipped her arm around his, leaning her head against his shoulder as they entered the theater together. The noise from outside faded away, replaced by the warm and cozy atmosphere of the theater hall.
Behind the curtains, a woman, the lead actress, gazed out at the empty seats with a furrowed brow.
"What's going on? Why aren't the seats filled?" She noted with concern that about 15% of the audience was still empty.
Given their fame, even people from smaller towns nearby would usually come to watch their performance. It was odd for the theater not to be packed, as it always had been before.
Just then, a soft laugh reached her ears, easing her anxiety. "Don't let it bother you, Yu Song. There are still enough people to make it worth our while. Let's just do our best, like we always do."
Yu Song turned to find Mo Hui, her partner in both the play and in life. His warm, reassuring smile made her heart flutter, and the lines of tension in her face melted away.
She couldn't help but return his smile, her voice softening as she responded. "Yes, Mo Hui."
Mo Hui was not only her co-star but also her soulmate, the person who made every performance feel like a dance between two hearts. Together, they were an inseparable pair, a match made by the heavens themselves.
Feng Fan and Xue Qiang sat side by side, waiting for the curtains to rise. Feng Fan couldn't help but notice the soft sensation of Xue Qiang's mountain peaks brushing against his arm, and the delicate fragrance of her perfume drifting toward him.
This made him look forward to the action that would take place after the date.
The play started, it was about the tale of a brave warrior who sacrificed everything to protect the woman he loved, a phoenix whose flames could burn through even the darkest of nights.
It was a story of devotion, betrayal, and the eternal battle between fate and free will. Feng Fan couldn't help but be intrigued by the romance that fold before him.
Tears welled up in Xue Qiang's eyes as the play reached its climax, the love story on stage mirroring the turmoil she felt inside. But just as the drama was about to unfold into its heart-wrenching conclusion, a thunderous voice erupted, shattering the moment.
"Who dared to harm my son?! Come here now, or I'll kill everyone inside!" The voice belonged to none other than Cai He, a notorious figure in Celestial Veil town.
The audience and actors froze, panic spreading like wildfire. They all knew the power Cai He commanded. His wrath was legendary, and he would stop at nothing to avenge his beloved son.
No one dared to move or speak, the atmosphere heavy with fear. Who would be foolish enough to challenge the Cai family within their own domain?
Feng Fan rolled his eyes. 'Of course, the father would show up.'
On the other hand, Xue Qiang, who had been completely absorbed in the play and was barely holding back her tears, instantly shifted. Her soft and emotional expression morphed into one of cold fury.
Cai He's imposing figure exuded anger, while Cai Jie, still recovering from the earlier blow, glared at Xue Qiang. The moment he noticed her, a wicked grin spread across his face.
Pointing at her, he snarled, "That's the woman, father! Teach her a lesson, but don't hurt her body. I want her for myself!"
