Chapter 397
What are you worrying about
Hearing him speak up, everyone turned to look at the door only to see a man wearing a hat walking in, the hat was extremely low with decorative designs on the rims, everyone could barely see his face, but was unable to see it clearly as well. If not for his clothes and order badge, no one would know who he was.
“Nan Gong Qing, you asshole, you actually made miss Huai Rou wait for an hour!” Nan Gong Gu was the first to stand and shouted out discourteously.
If it was the old Nan Gong Qing, Nan Gong Gu would have restraining fear towards him, but currently, he did not. He was extremely jealous of Nan Gong Qing’s engagement towards Huai Rou Mu Yu to become dual cultivation companions, he knew that the seed of jealousy in his heart had already sprouted, and this formed because of Nan Gong Qing.
He already had such feelings towards Nan Gong Qing from young, but as Nan Gong Qing was the heir to the Patriarch, along with the fact that he lost in terms of strength, he never said anything. Now, when Nan Gong Qing’s cultivation was crippled and he’d become so weak, what was there to be afraid of? With the appearance of Huai Rou Mu Yu, it added fuel to the flames, increasing his jealousy towards Nan Gong Qing.
~If my father was the Patriarch, I would be the one marrying Huai Rou Mu Yu!
Nan Gong Gu thought fiercely in his mind.
“Did I ask you guys to wait? If you don’t want to, you guys could had gone first.” Su Yun said nonchalantly.
“You!!!”
Nan Gong Gu was furious.
“Hey, Nan Gong Qing, why are you dressed like this? Why cover your face? Are you afraid of letting others look at you?” Nan Gong Hong Yan who was dressed in purple snorted.
“You will have to ask Mu Yu about this.” Su Yun glanced towards Huai Rou Mu Yu.
Everyone were startled and looked towards Huai Rou Mu Yu.
Her eyes were closed, but her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She spoke up: “In the afternoon, Young Master Qing was slightly inattentive while we were chatting, and I accidentally wounded his face”
“The wounds on my face aren’t completely healed yet, so I am wearing a hat to conceal them.” Su Yun laughed.
“Chatting? How will that lead to wounding the face?” A Nan Gong Family disciple asked, he did not understand.
“That involves privacy between Mu Yu and I, haha, as long as everyone knows it, it’s fine, we don’t have be too open about it!” Su Yun glanced at Nan Gong Gu and revealed a smile that only men understood.
Nan Gong Gu was startled for a second, but immediately understood what he meant, ‘whoosh’, a look of fury mixed with jealousy flashed past his eyes, he clenched his fists tightly, wanting so badly to rush over and punch Nan Gong Qing.
“Cousin brother, you and Miss Huai Rou are not married yet, please restrain yourself before you make other people start gossiping.” Nan Gong Hong Yan spoke directly, her voice extremely sharp.
“What are you afraid of? Other than the Feng Family in Sky Central City, who else dares to make a move against my Nan Gong Family?”
Su Yun portrayed an air of arrogance.
“Heh, cousin brother, you have to understand the situation, you are now just a fifth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivator, your fighting strength isn’t even at a thousand, are you not afraid of your tongue getting cut by speaking such words?”
Nan Gong Gu spoke in a low voice.
“I’m not worried about that, when Mu Yu and I get married, we can dual cultivate, my cultivation will definitely soar at that time.” Su Yun laughed.
His words immediately caused everyone in the hall to be dumbstruck, no one expected Su Yun to be so open and direct.
“Cousin brother, y-you, how can you say such words in front of Miss Mu Yu?” Nan Gong Hong Yan’s tongue seemed to be caught in a bind.
Huai Rou Mu Yu frowned, but did not say a word.
But every person on scene had different looks of expressions, some were even ashamed, while some revealed envious looks at Su YUn.
Su Yun secretly noted the expression in her eyes and laughed: “Cousin sister, what’s that? It’s the truth, furthermore, Mu Yu’s family is so rich, it isn’t difficult for them to groom me, so you guys don’t have to worry”
“Enough!”
Before Su Yun could finish his words, Huai Rou Mu Yu suddenly stood up and interrupted him.
Nan Gong Gu became joyous, he looked over, to see that Huai Rou Mu Yu’s face was somewhat unnatural.
“It’s about time, everyone, let us go to the north plaza.”
Huai Rou Mu Yu said gently, and headed out of the hall without turning back.
“Hey, Mu Yu!” Su Yun acted to call out a few times, but Huai Rou Mu Yu did not care about him.
Seeing that, Nan Gong Gu immediately followed along.
Seeing Su Yun’s defeated look, everyone secretly thought that he deserved it.
Huai Rou Mu Yu’s temper was truly good, but it depends on the situation. Su Yun’s words were too blunt and she was already not able to accept it when he said privacy, but she never thought that he would speak further in front of so many youths, where could she hide her face?
But that was what Su Yun wanted.
The group left the main hall, Su Yun followed along at the back and headed out of the Nan Gong Residence.
Because they were participating in a huge general assembly, they could not create too much extravagance, so Nan Gong Gu only called for a few guards to follow them, the group left the residence and headed towards the North Plaza.
On the road, Nan Gong Gu kept on talking to Huai Rou Mu Yu, completely disregarding Nan Gong Qing, who currently, other than his identity, had nothing worth for others to fawn about. After the matter of Nan Gong Qing being injured and dropping to the fifth stage of the Spirit Star Realm was spread through the entire residence, it stirred up a huge uproar, Nan Gong Hu originally brought a few people to take a look at him, but were all rejected by Su Yun. Luckily, Huai Rou Mu Yu was the one to confirm the news.
Luckily for him, Nan Gong Qing had good relations with everyone in the Nan Gong Family and the majority of them felt pity for him, only Nan Gong Gu was celebrating in his calamity.
“Miss Mu Yu, this street is the most famous street in the Sky Central City, this street is designed for the best shops in the city, all of them were invested on by almighty beings and it is common to encounter an expert on this street. I remember that once, I met an almighty being at the Spirit Sky Master Realm, he truly scared me, that aura and might, it truly is unforgettable”
Nan Gong Gu spoke with exaggeration, as though he hoped to attract everybody’s attention, but Huai Rou Mu Yu kept looking ahead calmly and did not seem to be the least bit interested in Nan Gong Gu’s words.
Nan Gong Gu’s deflation naturally made Su Yun feel good since he did not have any good feeling towards Nan Gong Gu. If Nan Gong Gu treated him better, maybe he would have initiated a matchmaking between Huai Rou Mu Yu and him, but he always seemed to have a grudge against Nan Gong Qing, thus Su Yun did not do it.
Su Yun walked over and squeezed between Nan Gong Gu and Huai Rou Mu Yu forcefully, then used his hands to hold onto Huai Rou Mu Yu’s small and cold hands, and walked ahead without a change in expression.
“Nan Gong Qing, what are you doing?” Nan Gong Gu became vexed.
“I’m not doing anything, what?”
Su Yun said.
“Then why are you not letting go of Miss Mu Yu’s hands right now?” Nan Gong Gu said furiously.
“There’s too many people here, I was afraid that Miss Mu Yu might get lost.” Su Yun laughed, he secretly glanced at Huai Rou Mu Yu’s face, and realised that her expression had a faint and hard to catch look of disgust, instantly causing him to be happy.
As expected, Huai Rou Mu Yu suddenly pulled her hand back, and a cold look appeared on her face.
“Young Master Qing, Mu Yu was not joking with you, please do not behave so rudely anymore.”
Huai Rou Mu Yu’s tone was not gentle anymore, but had become slightly colder.
Su Yun knew that he had touched Huai Rou Mu Yu’s bottomline, if he continued, she would definitely explode.
Although she looked to be bold and daring, but there was a hint of a conservative nature to her, she always respected the wishes of her seniors and had placed her own rules on herself, never stepping over the boundaries.
Listening to what she said, Su Yun feigned an awkward look, he laughed out loud and no longer spoke.
“Nan Gong Qing, I advise you to be more well-behaved, and stop touching Miss Mu Yu.”
Nan Gong Gu grabbed Su Yun by his collar and said fiercely.
“That’s my future wife you are talking about, what are you so worried about?” Su Yun said indifferently.
“You!!!” Nan Gong Gu was furious: “I am worried about you throwing our Nan Gong Family’s face, understand?”
“Thanks for your concern, I’ll remember it.”
Su Yun’s expression under the hat was extremely calm.
Nan Gong Gu was truly infuriated to the point that he was clenching his teeth, he could only push Su Yun away, and he turned and headed towards Huai Rou Mu Yu.
“Retard.”
Su Yun shook his head, he patted on the crease on his robes and continued walking ahead.
“Cousin Brother, are you alright.”
Just as Su Yun was following the group behind by himself, a voice came out from behind.
He turned to look, to see a young lady dressed in blue that had unknowingly appeared beside him, she was beautiful, without much makeup on her face, revealing her delicate features.
Su Yun remembered that when Nan Gong Qing was secretly introducing him to people, he introduced her as Zhang Ying Li, and was Nan Gong Qing’s uncle’s daughter. Since young, she stayed in the Nan Gong Family. She received the nurturing of the Nan Gong Family, but she did not go near Nan Gong Qing, usually sticking to Nan Gong Gu instead, making Nan Gong Qing think that Zhang Ying Li had some feelings towards Nan Gong Gu.
“I’m fine.” Su Yun replied.
Zhang Ying Li ‘oh’, then turned to look at Huai Rou Mu Yu and asked: “Cousin brother, do you have feelings for Miss Huai Rou Mu Yu?”
“Are you kidding me?” Su Yun spoke with a bit of ridicule: “She is such a beauty, which man won’t fall for her?”
“R-really?” Zhang Ying Li revealed an obvious look of disappointment, she bit her lips and said: “You men, do you truly only care about looks? How is Huai Rou Mu Yu good?”
“That is hard to explain.”
Su Yun glanced at her.
He saw Zhang Ying Li’s face suddenly turning red, then asked: “Then, Cousin Brother, in your heart, who do you think is better, me or Miss Huai Rou Mu Yu?”
“Around the same.” Su Yun said, he did not want to incite trouble.
“So vague.”
Zhang Ying Li was obviously not satisfied with his answer.
The people on the street gradually grew more and more, with all the Profound Spirit Qi mixing together, it formed a strange but nice scent.
Su Yun pressed down the rim of his hat, and looked around. Nearby, there was a huge door where two rows of spirit cultivators stood, they were continuously greeting customers with their smiling faces. After sizing them up, he realised that all of them were roughly sixth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivators with fighting strength of around a thousand.
~Such an irony, such beings are actually so low and petty in this world.~
~It truly is different in every world.~
“Ah! It’s our esteemed guests from the Nan Gong Family! Oh my my, isn’t this young miss from the Huai Rou Family? Come come come, come this way please, my master has already booked a banquet for all of you! Esteemed guests, please come this way!!”
The manager at the door saw the group, his eyes immediately lit up as he ran over and passionately greeted.
The group of people were brought by the manager to the center of the plaza with VIP seats. With many cultivators walking in and out, many of them had fighting strengths of over 2 thousand. Su Yun did not know what grade of cultivation a person must have to have fighting strength of over 2000, but without question, their aura was so frightening that people near them would tremble.
