Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1097 - 1098: Xiao Tianyu the Coward

Buzzing~

In an instant, many could not bear the overwhelming will embedded in the music, and they fell from the staircase, with some even fainting on the spot. Yet, those on the staircase paid no heed to all this, continuing to ascend, step by step, against the relentless musical will, heading toward the Celestial Wave Pavilion.

As time flew by, more people were eliminated. Now, there were fewer than a hundred people on the staircase, of course, most notable were the chosen ones from various rankings.

Especially Zhan Tianhao, Duan Jiutian, Yao Xuan, Mu Wushuang, Xia Weiyi, He Lingfeng, Tang Ao, Golden Roc, and others, who were the center of attention.

The reason is simple; it's because they are currently at the highest point, standing on the nineteenth level of the staircase.

The top nine prodigies on the rankings were all glamorous and extraordinary, their willpower incredibly steadfast, unaffected by the music. They proceeded step by step, albeit slowly, without showing signs of being blasted down.

It seemed as if the thirtieth level of the staircase could not obstruct their path forward.

Thud~

Duan Jiutian took a step forward, surpassing them, now standing at the highest point.

"Look, that's Duan Jiutian, perhaps his willpower is the most steadfast. Logically, he should be the one to become a distinguished guest!" someone spoke, and many showed envy in their eyes, wishing it could be them.

The lingering music continued to ring in everyone's ears.

And now, Duan Jiutian was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence.

"That's not necessarily true. All of the top nine are equally outstanding. Duan Jiutian may not be the first to step onto the Celestial Wave Pavilion!" someone spoke, "In my view, Zhan Tianhao, Yao Xuan and others still have hope!"

"What about Xiao Tianyu?" It seemed someone remembered a person, and spoke: "Why don't we see Xiao Tianyu's figure!"

Swish swish~

With these words, many began to scan the crowd, only to find Xiao Tianyu still standing in place, motionless, causing many to be puzzled.

Could it be he realized there was no hope, so he voluntarily gave up?

Is this the man Fairy Yao is willing to wait for a period of time? Besides being somewhat handsome, what else does he have? Perhaps he doesn't even have the courage to step on the staircase.

This time, Fairy Yao might have chosen the wrong person!

As for Yao Mei'Er, sitting at the Celestial Wave Pavilion, naturally, she also noticed that Xiao Tianyu did not participate, thus her brows slightly furrowed. Is there really someone in this world who's not driven mad by her beauty?

Or is it that Xiao Tianyu is deliberately putting on a lofty act, purposely attracting her attention?

It must be like this.

Yao Mei'Er narcissistically thought.

Then, she smiled faintly at Xiao Tianyu and said, "Master Xiao, why don't you participate?"

"Xiao doesn't want to become a toy under your skirts!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was unreserved, causing Yao Mei'Er to be stunned for a moment. How did he know what I was thinking?

Then Yao Mei'Er continued, "Perhaps Master Xiao still misunderstands me; I'm not that type of person!"

"Aren't you just enjoying being the center of attention?"

Swish swish~

With these words, a lot of disdainful gazes fell on Xiao Tianyu. This guy actually dared to insult our goddess, it's infuriating. If you don't have the courage to participate, just say so. Why talk so loftily?

Laughable to the extreme!

Moreover, Yao Mei'Er, the number one beauty of the Eight Domains, being the center of attention, isn't that normal?

Many silently disparaged, thinking that if not for the occasion, they would have already turned this arrogant person into a mere pig-head.

Immediately, Yao Xuan on the staircase sneered coldly, "Thinking himself to be something special?"

"Indeed, some people always want to show off, making others think they are unique, when in reality, they just lack the courage to participate!"

Thud~

Saying so, Zhan Tianhao stepped forward, standing on the same level as Duan Jiutian, instantly attracting many gazes.

"Zhan Tianhao is even with Duan Jiutian!" someone shouted, it seems the distinguished guest is still unknown.

"What Zhan said wasn't false at all. In vain, Fairy Yao still sees him differently; in the end, he's just a coward!" Xia Weiyi sneered, taking a step forward, standing on level twenty-one of the staircase.

He looked at Yao Mei'Er and continued, "Fairy Yao, it appears you chose the wrong person today. The one you waited for a period of time is just a mediocre person!"

One sarcastic remark after another kept coming from the staircase, while Xiao Tianyu's gaze remained calm, without any waves. He was calm, but Qiao Ling'Er couldn't swallow her anger.

Qiao Ling'Er spoke, "My big brother simply doesn't want to prove anything, why do you have to be so aggressive!"

"Is this aggressiveness?" Xia Weiyi sneered, "In front of the ultimate goddess, who doesn't want to show themselves? If he doesn't show himself, it proves his heart is weak!"

"You..." Qiao Ling'Er trembled with anger, finally looking toward Yao Mei'Er at the Celestial Wave Pavilion playing the instrument: "Sister Fairy, you should know my big brother isn't that kind of..."

"Before, I thought so and even had a favorable impression. Who knew Master Xiao is so fragile, truly disappointing!" Yao Mei'Er interrupted Qiao Ling'Er's words, leaving her astonished.

Then, Qiao Ling'Er said to Xiao Tianyu, "Big brother, why don't you take action? I don't believe you are a weak person!"

Qiao Ling'Er naturally didn't believe. Otherwise, Xiao Tianyu wouldn't have directly killed Zhan Cang in front of Zhan Tianhao yesterday, exhibiting such steadfastness and exceptional brilliance.

"Stop forcing your so-called big brother!"

Right at this moment, Yao Mei'Er smiled at Qiao Ling'Er and said, "Yesterday, I saw him kill Zhan Cang in front of many heroes, and was inclined to favor him. Who'd have thought it was merely a facade? Perhaps he already knew Duan Jiutian would come to save him, so he fearlessly killed Zhan Cang!"

Is that really the case?

In a word, awakening the dreamer, instantly numerous gazes fell on Xiao Tianyu, containing disdain, contempt, and sneers.

It turns out killing Zhan Cang yesterday, unafraid of Zhan Tianhao, was because he knew Duan Jiutian would come to save him; this all seems to make sense.

Even if he could withstand a strike from Zhan Tianhao, what does it matter? If not for Duan Jiutian's timely rescue, he might not be here today.

"This person, sooner or later, I will make him pay the price!" Zhan Tianhao stood on level twenty-one of the staircase, coldly snorting, with a gaze flashing icy murderous intent.

However, Duan Jiutian said, "Your brother should have died; someone from my Xiao Tianshen Sect isn't someone you can touch at will!"

Thud~

Saying this, Duan Jiutian stepped onto level twenty-two of the staircase.

He, Duan Jiutian, has always been this arrogant.

"I will let you witness the fate of Xiao Tianyu!" Zhan Tianhao's voice was cold, stepping forward as well, matching Duan Jiutian again, their gazes meeting with coldness.

"This is a place of elegance; prestigious gentlemen, please don't let your murderous intent be so heavy!" Yao Mei'Er said softly while playing the instrument, "Originally I thought my distinguished guest was Master Xiao, but now it seems I overthought. Surely, one of you will be my distinguished guest!"
