Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 712 713: Fawning for Favor

"She said she didn't mean it!" Xiao Ziyan remarked.

"You're too trusting of people!" Ye Qingcheng gave Xiao Ziyan a glance, "I bet this girl has some kind of scheme, and she might have ulterior motives for getting close to you. Stay away from her, understood?"

Xiao Ziyan was inexperienced in the ways of the world, so Ye Qingcheng naturally didn't blame her, especially since Xiao Ziyan was Xiao Tianyu's sister.

"Understood!" Xiao Ziyan nodded, while secretly thinking in her heart that once she returned to Emperor Star Academy, she would seek out QianShan Xue to find out what her actions meant.

"Let's go in!" Shangguan Biyue spoke softly.

However, at that moment, a line of Tianyu's bodyguards lined up at the entrance, and a young man walked over, stepping on the red carpet with a respectful look in his eyes.

This person was none other than Duan Yuan.

He smiled warmly and said, "Welcome to the Celestial Universe International Hotel, ladies. Everything is ready. Please come inside!"

"Uncle Duan, you've really gone through a lot of trouble this time!" Xiao Ziyan said playfully with a smile.

Uncle Duan?

Hearing this, Duan Yuan almost jumped up in surprise. Uncle Duan? Am I that old? I'm only a year older than your brother, and I don't even have a girlfriend. How am I supposed to find one if you call me that? I can't tolerate this.

Calm down, after all, this little girl is that guy's sister.

So, Duan Yuan smiled and said, "Miss, please come inside!"

"Alright!" Xiao Ziyan's eyes sparkled. After taking two steps, she added, "If that jerk shows up, be sure to let me know!"

"Which jerk?" Duan Yuan was taken aback.

"Of course, it's your boss!" Xiao Ziyan giggled sweetly.

Clang~

Upon hearing this, Duan Yuan stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. My heavens, perhaps only this young lady in the entire world dares to call Xiao Zong a jerk.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Ziyan's sparkling eyes questioned.

"N-nothing..." Duan Yuan revealed an expression as if pleading, please spare me, young lady.

Duan Yuan thought to himself: I absolutely can't say anything more, or else I'll get into trouble with this young lady without even knowing why.

Buzz buzz buzz~

Just then, a series of sports cars drove into the open-air parking lot of the Celestial Universe International Hotel, causing Duan Yuan's expression to turn cold as he cast a glance at the people inside those cars.

Such a scene made even Shangguan Biyue and Ye Qingcheng furrow their elegant brows.

Soon, under everyone's gaze, a number of young men in sharp suits with piercing eyes and striking looks stepped out of the sports cars.

"It's Long Ao from the Long Family. Has he come as well?"

"It should be Long Ao. It's rumored that he recently passed the Heaven Slayer Academy's examination, becoming a core disciple with great brilliance. Not only that, but he also has ambitions to control the Long Family. Could he be here for Shangguan Biyue's birthday?"

"It must be so. However, the people around him seem extraordinary as well, likely disciples of Heaven Slayer Academy. Otherwise, how could they have strong beings escorting them?"

"..."

Long Ao's arrival with the Heaven Slayer Academy disciples immediately attracted a lot of attention. Nowadays, Long Ao was a prominent figure in the Imperial Capital area, and not only that, but powerful beings also accompanied them.

Soon after, Long Ao led several disciples of the Heaven Slayer Academy towards Shangguan Biyue and others. When they saw the unmatched beauty of Shangguan Biyue and Ye Qingcheng, a hint of greed flashed in their eyes.

These two women were definitely no less beautiful than Lu Die'Er, the Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal, and might even surpass her. If they could conquer these two women, it would truly be a great pleasure in life.

However, despite their greed, in front of the goddesses, they had to put on the appearance of gentlemen.

Quickly, the five of them approached Shangguan Biyue and the other two. He Kun spoke up, "I presume these three ladies are the exceptional talents of Emperor Star Academy!"

After speaking, He Kun extended his right hand with a gentlemanly smile, "I am He Kun, a core disciple of Heaven Slayer Academy. It's a pleasure to meet the three goddesses!"

Shangguan Biyue and the other two glanced at He Kun without responding, leaving He Kun with an awkward expression. So proud, do they really think themselves the center of attention? Honestly, it's just because of their looks.

Despite his thoughts, there was no sign of anger in He Kun's eyes, or one could say he concealed his feelings well.

"Miss Biyue, word has it that today is your birthday. We are here only to offer our congratulations, with no other intentions. Surely Miss Biyue won't deny us this chance?" At that moment, Long Ao smiled slightly and then took out a gift, continuing, "This is a token of my appreciation for Fairy Biyue. Please accept it!"

"It's just a worthless gift, who cares!" Xiao Ziyan rolled her eyes at Long Ao and continued, "Your gaze is really annoying!"

"Fairy Ziyan, you do have a sense of humor!"

"I'm serious. With your looks, you want to pick up girls? You should take a good look at yourself first!" Xiao Ziyan snorted coldly. Shangguan Biyue was her sister-in-law, and she wouldn't allow these people to flirt with her here. What if her sister-in-law was tricked away?

Endure.

I must endure. The goddesses' words are always the opposite. Moreover, we came here to win the goddesses' favor. What if one of them takes notice of me? Hahaha, then I'll hit it big.

Long Ao quietly reminded himself.

Thus, he continued to smile and said, "Mr. Long is here with no other intention but to admire the unparalleled beauty of the three goddesses and ease the longing in my heart!"

That statement was deep enough, and combined with my identity, it should surely captivate the goddesses.

However, in the next moment, Xiao Ziyan shut him down again. Xiao Ziyan said, "Now that you've seen, please leave!"

Damn, does she have to be this blunt?

"Ziyan, don't be rude!" Shangguan Biyue suddenly spoke up, "Since everyone has come for my birthday, it is indeed my honor. Please come inside, but I won't be accepting the gift!"

"Could it be that Fairy Biyue already has someone in her heart?"

"That's my personal matter, not for disclosure!" Shangguan Biyue smiled faintly, captivating many.

"Clearly here to flirt, but pretending to be a gentleman, it's laughable!" At that moment, a voice came through. Everyone turned to see a young man in a sharp suit walking over with several subordinates.

This person's presence was just as extraordinary.

"Mo Kongfan?" Long Ao's brows furrowed.

"Do you know me?" Mo Kongfan smiled at Long Ao.

"Who doesn't know Mo Kongfan of the Bright Divine Sect!" Long Ao snorted coldly, "It seems you have also come for Fairy Biyue's birthday!"

"Everyone loves beauty, that's only natural!" Mo Kongfan laughed heartily, with a considerable demeanor. Then he spoke to Shangguan Biyue, "Beautiful Biyue, happy birthday. A small gift, but a token of respect!"
