Remembering something, Shen Fei went up and laughingly said, âI remember when Lanruo kept talking about marrying brother Ye Han when sheâs small. Since Lanruo still has yet to find someone she likes, shouldnât be thatâŠâŠâ
Ye Han chuckled and said, âHow can you treat childhood stuff seriously?â
The surrounding youngsters laughed hard enough to echo inside the reception hall.
âIndeed, childhood stuff cannot be treated seriously.â
Huyan Lanruo curled her lips. Her brows twitched as she stared at Shen Fei and said, âThat was all in the past, yet you still bring it up. Shen Fei, I have been unhappy with you for quite some time now. If you still make fun of me, see if I donât burst your egg with my kick!â
UrghâŠâŠ.
Dead silence.
Shen Fei, feeling extremely awkward, had his smile frozen on his face.
An indescribable chill lingered around the surroundings.
That domineering declaration of Huyan Lanruo isnât in tune with her clothes, no matter how you look at her. The current Huyan Lanruo is like a queen. Her gaze swept across those that laughed at her earlier. Seeing her gaze, they all held their laughing back.
Damn, Huyan Lanruo still has that tigress character of hers. Whoever marries her is signing their own death certificate.
No one in the surrounding area dared to speak. Ye Han gently coughed and said, âLetâs not mention that matter anymore, drop it.â
Shen Fei embarrassedly smiled, âHahaâŠâ
âShen Fei, I heard that youâre not on good terms with my Nie Li!â Huyan Lanruo looked at Shen Fei and coldly snorted, âIf you dare to find trouble with my Nie Li again, donât blame me for being impolite!â
My Nie Li? Since when did Nie Li become yours?
The surrounding people looked at each other. Recently, Nie Li has been standing in the limelight of Glory City. They never heard of Huyan Lanruo and Nie Li getting together.
âNie Li?â Ye Han was slightly puzzled. Itâs the first time that he has heard of this name. Ever since his return, he has only met with Ye Zong and didnât hear Ye Zong mentioning Nie Li.
A youngster gently whispered against Ye Hanâs ears, âBig brother Ye Han, Nie Li is the recently emerged genius of Glory CityâŠâŠâ
Ye Han roughly understood what kind of person this Nie Li is. He reached 5-star Silver rank at only fourteen years old, this cultivation speed is simply too frightening. When Ye Han was sixteen, he had already reached 1-star Gold rank; however, when he was fourteen, heâs still at bronze rank.
Unless itâs someone precocious, the common golden period of cultivation is around fourteen to twenty two years old. During this period of time, a personâs cultivation soared the fastest. Reaching 5-star Silver rank at fourteen years old, aside from being extraordinary talented, also requires intellect far surpassing common people.
âOh? This has made me a little interested,â Ye Han said, lightly smiling.
Everyone looked at Huyan Lanruo with shock. With the gossip going around about Nie Li being with other girls, shouldnât Huyan Lanruo talk about Nie Liâs faults? Why would she speak up for him instead? Just how exotic is this Huyan Familyâs daughter?
Shen Fei looked at Ye Han, suddenly recalling something that made the corner of his lips curl up and said, âAside from Ningâer, Iâve also heard that Nie Li has been pestering Ye Ziyun. Heâs taken the initiative to confess to Ye Ziyun several times. Recently, he even moved into the City Lordâs Mansion.â
âSo what? Shen Fei, I donât care about those matters, nor do I care about how many women Nie Li has. Iâll tell you right now, if you dare to touch a hair on Nie Li, you believe that I will put you to waste?â said Huyan Lanruo, proudly staring at Shen Fei with a chilling look in her eyes.
After hearing what Shen Fei just said, Ye Hanâs brows twitched. A hint of unnoticable chill flashed within his eyes. It seems that he has to take a look at who this Nie Li really is.
Because of the appearance of Huyan Lanruo, the atmosphere on the youngster side became somewhat strange.
The several people over at the top section couldnât help smiling bitterly.
âThird younger brother, this daughter of yours seems to have quite the character.â Ye Zong looked at Huyan Xiong and laughingly said, âSheâs just like her father.â
Huyan Xiong immediately felt embarrassed. How is this daughter similar to her father? This character of hers is obviously the same as her mother.
Shen Hong coldly sneered and said, âIndeed, she is just like her father. So overbearing, saying that she will waste my eldest son.â
Huyan Xiong furiously stared at Shen Hong and coldly snorted, âShen Hong, donât be eccentric here. So what if Lanruo wastes him. That brat of yours has ruined girls of other families, he shouldâve been wasted long ago! If you have the guts, come and have a round with me!â
Ye Zong waved his hand and said, âSave it, both of you.â
Yang Xin rolled her eyes. Since when did little brother Nie Li find himself a girl from the Huyan Family? His luck with women is still quite good. However, little brother Nie Li probably wonât have any peace in the future if he messed with Huyan Lanruo.
Yang Xin decided to add more oil to the fire, pursed her lips and said, âCity Lord, these youngsters seem to be looking forward to meeting Nie Li. Why isnât he here?â
Ye Zong calmly said, âNie Li was injured earlier and is still unconscious. Iâm afraid that he wonât be able to attend this.â
Nie Li is still unconscious? Isnât it just the exhaustion of his soul force? Yang Xin frowned, her eyes flashed with faint worry.
Even with a bunch of Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualists, they were still unable to do a thing to that Abyss Demon. She wondered how little brother Nie Li did it! She never imagined that Nie Li was actually able to kill the Abyss Demon, which caused Yang Xin to be surprised.
Suddenly, a commotion broke over at the youngster section.
Nie Li, Xiao Ningâer and Ye Ziyun were seen walking in together. Nie Li walked at the front, looking around at the surroundings, appearing to be extremely casual.
âTsk tsk, this is my first time attending a banquet in the City Lordâs Mansion.â
What Nie Li wanted to say, is that this banquet hall isâŠâŠ too poor. After all, Nie Li has been to many places in his previous life, and has gained a vast insight.
The youngsters were all submerged in their own discussions.
âThis youngster is the Nie Li that killed the Abyss Demon? Heâs only fourteen years old and was able to reach 5-star Silver rank. Heâs really formidable.â
âLook at how dull his clothes are!â One youngster spoke out, revealing disgust on his face.
Aside from Nie Li, Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ningâer lured the attention of many. Even though the two girls have their own distinguishing features, they were both extremely charming, causing the eyes of many to be unable to shift from them. Both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ningâer were the dream girls of all the youngsterâs hearts.
Some of the ladies couldnât help feeling inferior. Only Huyan Lanruo held her chest high, proud like a swan as she will absolutely not admit defeat.
Huyan Lanruoâs gaze fell onto Nie Liâs cheeks. Her charming cheeks showed hints of red on them.
Because Nie Li came in together with Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ningâer, many of the young men felt jealous. One must know that Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ningâer were goddesses in countless hearts. However, they were being monopolized by Nie Li. Is there any justice in heavens? Thinking about Huyan Lanruoâs bold declaration earlier, saying that she is Nie Liâs woman, caused many people to be pent up to the point of wanting to vomit blood.
Is this the treatment for geniuses? Some of the young masters hated themselves at this point of time for being lazy and didnât train. If they were to have talent like Nie Li, they might be able to win the favor of one of the goddesses.
At this moment, the elegantly dressed Huyan Lanruo walked towards Nie Li.
âNie Li, long time no see.â Huyan Lanruoâs voice carried a faint sadness within.
âAh? Long time no see, but itâs best not to see.â
Nie Li felt his scalp tingling at this point in time. Seeing Huyan Lanruo made him want to hide himself, but itâs already too late. This pestering woman, if she were to stick to him, he wouldnât be able to shake her off anymore. Itâs best if she maintained a distance of at least two thousand meters away from him in the future!
If all the people were to know of Nie Liâs current thoughts, what kind of reaction would they have?
After hearing Nie Liâs words, Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ningâer couldnât help holding back their laughters. As for Huyan Lanruo, she stared at Nie Li, fuming with fury.
The people that have the most influence within the younger generation walked towards Nie Liâs direction.
Ye Hanâs gaze swept passed Nie Li and landed on Ye Ziyun. His gaze lit up. Showing a hearty smile on his face, he said, âLittle sister Ziyun, itâs been almost two years since we last seen each other.â
âEn, Big brother Ye Han, congratulations on reaching 3-star Gold rank,â Ye Ziyun said with sincerity.
Ye Hanâs eyes flashed with sadness. It seems that Ye Ziyun still holds this matter in her heart.
Ye Ziyun is the blood related daughter of Ye Zong. Whether itâs her talent or cultivation, she wasnât close to reaching the foster son, Ye Han. Ye Zong has been extremely strict with his teaching to the kids. Ever since she was young, Ye Ziyun had always been in Ye Hanâs shadow. Ye Ziyun forked countless effort to chase after Ye Hanâs footsteps; however, she was unable to keep up with Ye Hanâs cultivation and was shook further and further behind. Ye Ziyun wasnât able to get a single praise from Ye Zong, and would cry alone in the night.
Ye Ziyun even felt that Ye Zong liked Ye Han more than her.
Truth is, Ye Ziyun is already considered outstanding among her peers. But compared to Ye Han, she was inferior.
Until recently, after she received the cultivation technique from Nie Li, she was finally able to untie the knot in her heart and face Ye Han.
âLittle sister Ziyun, I brought you a gift from my long journey. I hope you like it.â Ye Han retrieved a bracelet thatâs emitting a chilling blue luster from within his interspatial ring.
