Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1076 - 1077: Emperor's Visit

"..." Liu Yan was speechless. I'm secretly in love with him? This... does this guy have to be so confident? It's obviously an open crush.

Then, Liu Yan's eyes widened: "Xiao Tianyu, did I ask you to sit down? Stand up!"

"Why can't I sit?"

"You've got some nerve, huh!"

"Just a little thinner than the city wall!"

"..." Liu Yan almost fainted on the spot from anger.

Xiao Tianyu rubbed his nose at this.

"Alright, I won't argue with you about this. Tell me, who on earth are you?"

What?

This woman is either brain-damaged or has amnesia. How can she not know who I am?

So Xiao Tianyu reached out his hand and touched Liu Yan's forehead, making Liu Yan freeze for a second: "Xiao Tianyu, what are you doing?"

"No fever, knowing I'm Xiao Tianyu, but still asking who I am—it's like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary? Seriously, if you want to show your love, could you please come up with a less stupid reason?" Xiao Tianyu whispered indifferently.

Liu Yan's face turned green with anger. This... this is clearly a scoundrel!

Subsequently, Liu Yan slightly calmed her inner anger and spoke a bit more gently: "Tianyu, I shouldn't be shouting at you. I know I don't have the right. Thank you for your tolerance all this time, not holding it against me!"

"This..."

Xiao Tianyu was stunned. Since when did the shrew become gentle? Why do I feel something's off here?

Liu Yan continued: "Actually, the main reason I pulled you into the office today was to express my gratitude!"

"No need, just don't act like a tigress and I'll be eternally grateful!" Xiao Tianyu put his hands together in prayer, leaving Liu Yan bewildered. Xiao Tianyu continued, "Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

"Tianyu, stop right there!"

"Again?"

"Am I so detestable to you?"

"Not quite!" With that, Xiao Tianyu opened the door and ran, afraid that if he was even a moment late, the goddess would seduce him.

Seeing Xiao Tianyu come out, many were stunned. My gosh, it's over so quickly?

"Do you think the boss is a quick finisher?" Xiao Jiu whispered to Long Haochen.

"Dare to insult the boss behind his back, I'll go snitch on you!"

"..." Xiao Jiu turned pale instantly. Is this still brotherhood?

However, just as Xiao Tianyu left the office, a white figure with a cold aura descended lightly from the void, instantly attracting everyone's attention, regardless of gender.

"Saintess Ye Qingcheng?" Someone couldn't help but exclaim: "Could she also be here for Xiao Tianyu!"

"Such a lady's man!"

"..."

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Qingcheng slowly descended from the void. Her cold demeanor and queenly aura deterred anyone from approaching.

"Stop, I have something to ask you!" Ye Qingcheng stood behind Xiao Tianyu, speaking coldly.

"Say what you need to say, fart if you need to fart!" Xiao Tianyu spoke bluntly.

My gosh, speaking so rudely to a goddess? Many people eyed Xiao Tianyu with reproach, thinking that he shouldn't speak to Ye Qingcheng in such a manner.

Yet, Ye Qingcheng didn't seem angry; her icy face showed no change in color.

"Was it you who saved me?" Ye Qingcheng asked.

Others might not understand, but Xiao Tianyu naturally knew what Ye Qingcheng meant. She was certainly asking whether he, Xiao Tianyu, was the masked mysterious youth in the Holy Capital.

"Yes!"

"Why did you save me?"

"I didn't want you to die in a foreign land!"

"Is that all?"

"What do you think!"

"Isn't there anything else?" Ye Qingcheng's heart had a thread of longing.

"You think you're worthy?" Xiao Tianyu finally turned his gaze, meeting Ye Qingcheng's eyes without emotion, appearing a different person from just moments ago.

He continued, "Do you think with your level of cultivation, you have the right to climb higher? Don't think you're some chosen one and become arrogant. Those not yet matured are always ants. If you want me to see you differently, at least you must prove it to me!"

Ye Qingcheng stood there without moving, but tears welled up in her icy eyes, and if one looked closely, her delicate body was also trembling.

However, Xiao Tianyu's words were merciless: "Crying, does it help? Shedding tears only proves you're weak. The strong never cry. Don't try to use tears to evoke pity, in the end, all you'll get is mockery, nothing more!"

Having said that, Xiao Tianyu turned and began to walk away.

Ye Qingcheng watched the receding figure, her gaze gradually turning firm and cold. Originally, she thought Xiao Tianyu held her in his heart, which is why he saved her. Now, after hearing Xiao Tianyu's words, she realized she was wrong, gravely wrong.

Xiao Tianyu harbored no feelings for her at all.

Moreover, the look of disdain Xiao Tianyu left behind when he departed was something Ye Qingcheng would never forget.

Then, Ye Qingcheng sneered at Xiao Tianyu's back: "You're right, tears are the behavior of the weak. I, Ye Qingcheng, will never cry again. One day, I'll make you pay for today's words!"

"There's a sky mark between you and me. If you want me to pay, first cross that sky mark!"

"I will!"

"I'll be waiting!" As the voice faded, Xiao Tianyu's figure had already disappeared.

The onlookers felt a certain melancholy about their discussion. Some seemed to realize that there was an indelible love-hate relationship between Xiao Tianyu and Ye Qingcheng. They just couldn't understand why Xiao Tianyu would be so cold to such an extraordinary woman as Ye Qingcheng.

Whir~

The wind howled, and Ye Qingcheng, with her icy aura, soared into the sky. Watching the receding white figure, everyone inexplicably felt a pang of sorrow in their hearts, as if someone like her shouldn't endure such a harsh ordeal.

"Did the boss get kicked in the head by a donkey?" Even Long Haochen couldn't help but feel a sense of injustice for Ye Qingcheng: "Why couldn't Ye Qingcheng fancy me instead!"

"You?"

"What's wrong with me?" Long Haochen glared at Xiao Jiu, to which Xiao Jiu replied earnestly, "You're not made for that!"

"You..." Long Haochen almost choked with anger.

The next morning.

Xiao Tianyu left the Outer Sect early, destination unknown, but his legend continued to be a topic of conversation.

However, at that moment, dark clouds gathered over the entire Outer Sect, and an immense imperial might suddenly enveloped the entire Outer Sect, shaking the hearts of those in the Outer Sect. Is an Emperor about to descend?

Who could it be?

Swish, swish~

In just a moment, the Outer Sect was in an uproar. Many eyes looked to the endless dark clouds in the sky.

Not just the Outer Sect, even the Seven Peaks of Haotian Sect sensed this inexplicably descending formidable imperial power. Each high-ranking member of Haotian Sect headed toward the Outer Sect, including Haotian himself.

The Outer Sect had now become a gathering place for the powerful.

Before long, the dark clouds in the void dispersed, revealing a group of figures. The leading figure wore a dragon robe, exuding authority, as if his appearance commanded the submission of all domains.

All beings were but ants!
