Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 779 780: Envy

Not having gained Shangguan Biyue's favor, Duan Wuchang was already very unhappy. Now with Xiao Qiang's sarcasm, it would be a surprise if Duan was feeling good.

"I'm just speaking the truth!" Xiao Qiang's expression was indifferent, but his words were cutting. He continued, "Actually, it's just a lazy toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

After speaking, Xiao Qiang ignored Duan Wuchang, but his words did draw quite a few people's attention.

At this moment, Duan Wuchang seemed to have become a joke, but it's no wonder; being embarrassed in front of a goddess publicly, could he not be laughed at?

Meanwhile.

Xiao Ziyan and Shangguan Biyue left the crowd, heading towards the Long Family.

The direction where the Long Family was sitting included: Long Xiaoyun, Long Ling'Er, Gu Yunxi, Lu Die'Er, and Guan Zhongyuan among others.

Yesterday, after Xiao Tianyu left East Ring Street, Shangguan Biyue and Xiao Ziyan returned to the academy, while Gu Yunxi and others went to the Long Family. Today happens to be the Emperor Star Academy's ceremony of crowning Ye Qingcheng as Saintess, so they followed Long Xiaoyun to the academy to witness the grand event.

Moreover, people from other major directions and Ancient Martial Clans were present, including the Gongsun Family, naturally led by Gongsun Zhi. However, when the Gongsun Family saw Shangguan Biyue and her companions, they were displeased.

After all, yesterday, Xiao Tianyu personally descended upon the Gongsun Family with Shangguan Biyue and others, executed Gongsun Yan, and caused the Marquis to die tragically.

"Biyue sister, Ziyan, over here!"

At this moment, Long Ling'Er winked at them, attracting quite a few gazes.

Then, the two goddesses, Shangguan Biyue and Xiao Ziyan, went to where the Long Family was seated.

Seeing the arrival of the two, Long Xiaoyun stood up, showing a touch of respect.

Of course, the reason for Long Xiaoyun's respect was undoubtedly that they were Xiao Tianyu's relatives, after all, Xiao Tianyu saved everyone in the Long Family.

Then, Long Xiaoyun gently spoke, "Hello, young ladies!"

"Hello, Uncle Long!"

"En!" Long Xiaoyun smiled gently and said, "Have a seat!"

Upon hearing this, the two nodded and then sat down, with Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes flickering, "So you really are disciples of the Emperor Star Academy!"

"Of course!" Xiao Ziyan glanced at Long Ling'Er as she continued, "So where's Brother Xiao? Why didn't he come with you?"

"I was just about to ask you!" Xiao Ziyan paused for a moment and continued, "Did my brother not go to the Long Family?"

"No!"

"Stayed out all night?"

"En!"

"…" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue and Xiao Ziyan were speechless. His wife is at the academy, his sister is also at the academy, all his friends are at the Long Family, what is this rascal up to? And not returning overnight?

"Sis-in-law!" At this moment, Guan Zhongyuan showed a flattering smile and said, "The boss is so amazing, invincible even against gods, it's natural he won't encounter any accidents... maybe he's wandering around some brothel now!"

"Who asked you?" Shangguan Biyue glared at Guan Zhongyuan.

"…" Did he try to curry favor only to get slapped in the face?

Upon hearing, Guan Zhongyuan was bewildered. Wasn't you who said you didn't mind if the boss started the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards? I just want to ask, is wandering around brothels different from the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards? Aren't they both about sleeping with women?

Then Qiu Qianren pinched Guan Zhongyuan harshly and seriously said, "Little Guan, is this how you curry favor? In front of Sister-in-law, dare to say Boss is touring brothels? If Sister-in-law doesn't glare at you, who will? Watch how I curry favor and learn properly!"

"…" Upon hearing, Guan Zhongyuan was speechless, so he said, "Is this something you can do? If you do it, what should I do?"

"Who curries favor with whom shouldn't concern you. Besides, currying favor isn't something you've trademarked!" Qiu Qianren gave Guan Zhongyuan a sidelong glance, why is it you can curry favor and I can't? Is it your exclusive right?

"Look, the boss is here!" At this moment, Ximen Chuixue said, "You can curry favor with Sister-in-law, I'll go curry favor with the boss!"

Puff~

Upon hearing the words of these three, Shangguan Biyue, Xiao Ziyan, and others couldn't help but smile. They just want to ask how these three clowns were trained to be like this?

Soon, they saw a handsome young man strolling out from the crowd, dressed plainly, yet his presence was striking, drawing the gazes of many female disciples.

This person was Xiao Tianyu.

"Is the boss someone you all can curry favor with?" Guan Zhongyuan gave Ximen Chuixue a disdainful look, damn, if you all curry favor, what do I curry favor with? You're obviously stealing my livelihood.

Humph~ I don't know you.

Guan Zhongyuan quietly grumbled to himself; if he had known, he wouldn't have introduced these people to the boss.

"Has this rascal finally shown up?" Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she stepped gracefully towards Xiao Tianyu, soon arriving in front of him, amidst everyone's gaze, she wrapped her delicate jade hand around Xiao Tianyu's arm.

"Wow, so Shangguan Biyue already has a boyfriend like Xiao Ziyan said, could it be this guy?"

"Who is this guy? How come I haven't seen him in the academy? Is he a disciple of one of the clans?"

"Let go of my goddess Shangguan! You're not worthy of her!"

"How could such a beautiful flower grow on manure? It should be with me!"

"Don't hold me back, I'm going to duel him!"

"..."

With Shangguan Biyue holding Xiao Tianyu in such an intimate gesture, it drew countless envious and spiteful looks. Damn, has the great goddess of Emperor Star Academy been captured by this average guy?

It's just not fair. Clearly we're more handsome than him.

It's not just people around; Duan Wuchang's gaze turned extremely dark upon seeing this.

Besides Duan Wuchang, there were Xiao Qiang and others who, being disciples of influential backgrounds, had admired Shangguan Biyue for a long time. But now, Shangguan Biyue was openly linking arms with a young man in front of everyone.

It's a pity this young man isn't them.

Confidently, in terms of status or talent, how do they fall short of Xiao Tianyu?

However, with the important matter of crowning at hand, these disciples of Emperor Star Academy dared not be too reckless. Especially today, the academy's martial arena is open, clearly for this significant event.

Of course, Xiao Tianyu brushed off the envious and jealous gazes directed at him as if they were fools, as he had encountered such situations more than once.

Thus, Xiao Tianyu spoke to Shangguan Biyue, "What's with your sudden intimacy, what do you mean? Are you using me as a shield again?"

"What shield, you say things that sound awful; I'm already your woman, okay!" Shangguan Biyue glanced at Xiao Tianyu, who nodded thoughtfully, "Seems like what you said makes quite a bit of sense!"
