Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1079 1080: Members of the Xiao Heavenly Sect

Nine Heavens Divine Emperor?

Seated at the table, Xiao Tianyu slightly frowned, wasn't it talking about that guy Xiao Jiu?

Xiao Tianyu never inquired about the various forces in the Divine Realm, so he naturally wasn't very clear about the layout of the Divine Realm. For him, strength was everything; whether or not he asked was not important.

If he had that leisure time, it would be better spent visiting famous scenic spots.

Moreover, he had no individuals conflicting with him; if people didn't offend him, he wouldn't offend them. If anyone did, rivers of blood would be the least of it.

"Hmph, so what!" A young man beside Qiao Ling'Er snorted coldly, "Even though the Sect Leader of the Nine Heavens Divine Sect has vanished, not just anyone can bully the Nine Heavens Gate, let alone since our Sect Leader merely disappeared!"

"Bullying is out of the question!" The young man smiled slightly and continued, "We saw someone from the Nine Heavens coming along, so we just came to say hello, nothing more. Moreover, everyone has come for the Xiao Tian Divine Sect; we should unite against common enemies, don't you think?"

Although the young man was speaking to the youth beside Qiao Ling'Er, his gaze was scrutinizing Qiao Ling'Er, causing her to show a trace of disdain.

Qiao Ling'Er spoke, "Senior Brother, let's go!"

"Alright!" The senior brother nodded.

The young man, however, said with a smile, "My name is Zhan Cang; please remember that, miss!"

The family name Zhan is one of the rare surnames in the Divine Realm, and those with the Zhan surname usually have a significant background. It's no surprise, as the most ancient forces in the Divine Realm bear the Zhan surname.

Evidently, this person came from the War Domain, one of the Nine Domains.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ling'Er and the group ignored him, and Zhan Cang didn't make it difficult on purpose; he simply sat down afterward.

At this moment, the noodles that Xiao Tianyu ordered were already served. Picking up his chopsticks, Xiao Tianyu began to slurp them up. The familiar taste brought back many memories for him.

The reason was simple; the noodles tasted like those in Huaxia.

Several figures appeared in his mind: Luo Bing, with a cold and aloof temperament, persisting in pursuing him, which gave him a headache; and Shangguan Biyue, infinitely gentle, sometimes clumsy yet very cute.

Then there was Gu Yunxi, Xiao Ziyan, and those colleagues from the time he worked at Qingcheng International. In retrospect, it all seemed rather intriguing.

Gradually, a cold figure clad in white emerged in Xiao Tianyu's mind.

It was he who changed Ye Qingcheng's destiny, awakening her constitution, and as a result, unintentionally became her protector.

Although Ye Qingcheng often treated him with contempt, Xiao Tianyu didn't take it to heart much.

As for affection, it didn't quite reach that level.

Yet, unexpectedly, it made him the one Ye Qingcheng most wanted to defeat in her life.

"May I sit here?" A crisp voice interrupted Xiao Tianyu's thoughts. He put down his chopsticks and slightly raised his gaze, only to see a pair of quirky eyes staring at him.

Xiao Tianyu looked around the hall, confirming there wasn't a single vacant spot. However, at his table, there was only him.

So Xiao Tianyu nodded, "Suit yourself!"

"Thank you!" Qiao Ling'Er offered a sweet smile, sitting across from Xiao Tianyu, and the two people behind her also took their seats.

Xiao Tianyu paid no attention, burying himself back into his noodles, treating Qiao Ling'Er and her group as if they didn't exist.

Devouring his meal like a wolf, it was quite unseemly.

Qiao Ling'Er's quirky eyes glanced at Xiao Tianyu's unattractive eating manner, feeling utterly speechless. With such good looks and apparent well-off background, why the dining style...

"Is it unsightly?" Xiao Tianyu suddenly spat out a remark.

Qiao Ling'Er: "..."

The two men at the table: "..."

Xiao Tianyu raised his eyes, scanning across the room, finally resting his gaze on Qiao Ling'Er, "Nine Heavens Divine Sect?"

"Yes!" Qiao Ling'Er nodded, not feeling proud to be a disciple of the Nine Heavens Divine Sect; she saw that although Xiao Tianyu spoke little, his eyes were clear, devoid of evil intentions, creating a sliver of goodwill as she introduced to her senior brothers by her side, "This is my Senior Brother Lei Yun; and here is our Third Senior Brother Cheng Feng!"

The two men nodded in acknowledgment, without any pretentious display.

Xiao Tianyu gave a quick glance over them, nodding back in acknowledgment.

Qiao Ling'Er's eyes flickered as she continued, "Big Brother, what about you?"

"Xiao Tianyu!" Xiao Tianyu replied calmly, "You all came because of the Xiao Tian Divine Sect, right?"

Before coming, Xiao Tianyu had already inquired about everything. Now, the Refining Heaven Divine Region had gathered powerhouses from all eight directions, with endless prodigies, evidently bringing disadvantage to the Refining Heaven Divine Region.

"Brother Xiao, even though it's said that way!" Senior Brother Lei Yun showed a trace of helplessness, "Actually, our Nine Heavens Divine Sect did not wish to come here. However, our Sect's Divine Emperor disappeared a year ago, leaving us leaderless and coerced by the other Seven Domains, leaving us no choice!"

These words ring true. After the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor mysteriously disappeared a year ago, the foundation of the Nine Heavens Divine Sect plummeted, facing constant constraints. This trip to the Refining Heaven Divine Region was indeed against the Nine Heavens Divine Sect's will, but without an emperor, they had no choice but to be restrained.

Of course, Xiao Tianyu didn't doubt this statement, because one of his little brothers was the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor, although currently only at the Martial Immortal Cultivation level.

"Got it!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.

Lei Yun gazed at Xiao Tianyu, continuing, "Looking at Brother Xiao's exceptional demeanor, you must be the proud child of some power in the Eight Domains, right?"

"I'm not!" Xiao Tianyu shook his head.

Not?

Lei Yun, Cheng Feng, and Qiao Ling'Er all displayed surprise.

Qiao Ling'Er's eyes flickered, "Brother Xiao, if you're not from the Eight Domains, are you a local?"

"Xiao Tian Divine Sect!" Xiao Tianyu lightly uttered four characters.

"Xiao Tian Divine Sect?"

Shua shua~

With these words, numerous gazes in the hall turned to Xiao Tianyu, filled with killing intent.

Puchi~

At this moment, the sword in Lei Yun's hand was half unsheathed, its cold gleam flickering, his eyes also contained a thread of killing intent, showing that he was already hostile towards Xiao Tianyu.

But Xiao Tianyu ignored it, kept his head down eating noodles, and then drew out a napkin to gently wipe the corner of his mouth, seeming unaffected by the countless killing intents surrounding him.

Qiao Ling'Er's eyes flickered, looking at Lei Yun, she spoke, "Senior Brother, put away your sword!"

"Junior Sister, he's from the Xiao Tian Divine Sect!"

"I know!" Though Qiao Ling'Er appeared innocent, she was quite sensible, continuing, "This is not a battlefield, if you want to contest the disciples of the Xiao Tian Divine Sect, it should be on the battlefield!"

"Senior Brother, our Junior Sister is right!" Cheng Feng chimed in, "Even though the Xiao Tian Divine Sect is already the public enemy of the Eight Domains, if there's to be a fight, it should be on the battlefield, not here. Moreover, there are many innocent people present, and if we truly fight, they might be unnecessarily involved!"

Upon hearing their persuasion, Lei Yun glanced at Xiao Tianyu once before retracting his sword with a *shua*, controlling his murderous aura.
