And so the curtain fell on the battle between Xiang Shaoyun and Wu Mingliang. Xiang Shaoyun’s victory left everybody’s eyes wide open, and it bolstered his already-large reputation. That being said, the secret of him having reached seventh-stage Basic Realm was also out of the bag. However, this did not affect others’ perception of him whatsoever. Being able to defeat a ninth-stage cultivator at the seventh stage proved that he was more than sufficiently talented.

“Boss, you’re awesome! You once said that you’d take care of me! Now, I’ll forever be your man!” Xia Liuhui said as he held Xiang Shaoyun’s hand.

Xiang Shaoyun kicked Xia Liuhui to one side and loudly cursed, “F*ck you, don’t get touchy with me! I’m not into that s.h.i.+t!”

Xia Liuhui wore an expression of being wronged as he meekly said, “I most definitely am straight, brother! I was just a little excited just now.”

At that moment, a clear and crisp voice cut through the air. “Congratulations on your victory, Xiang Shaoyun!”

Turning his head to take a look, Xiang Shaoyun saw the cute little Lu Xiaoqing standing close to him, her delicate face containing traces of pink. He laughingly replied, “Many thanks, but I was fighting mere small fry. It’s not worth a mention at all.”

Although his words were very humble, he did not bother to hide the prideful grin on his face. Being praised by a beauty was a wondrous thing indeed.

“Your skin really is extraordinarily thick, isn’t it?” Lu Xiaoqing lightly giggled.

“How can that be?” Xiang Shaoyun replied heartily before saying to her, “Follow me, pretty little girl. I’ll treat you to a meal at the restaurant!”

“If you continue to call me that, I’ll be angry!” Lu Xiaoqing seemed rather dissatisfied with the way Xiang Shaoyun addressed her.

“Okay, okay. Lil Missy Xiaoqing, I’ll treat you to a meal, so give me some face, ok?” Xiang Shaoyun continued to poke fun at her.

Lu Xiaoqing’s cute little face flushed an even deeper shade of red as she angrily said, “Call me Lu Xiaoqing!”

“Boss, take me too! Take me too!” Xia Liuhui immediately jumped to his feet and pleaded Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun stared daggers at Xia Liuhui and silently cursed, “Can this jacka.s.s not read the situation?” He had wanted to use this opportunity to be alone with Lu Xiaoqing, but this b.a.s.t.a.r.d had to stick his nose in. Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave for the restaurant with Lu Xiaoqing and Xia Liuhui, two more people spontaneously appeared before him.

“It’s Brother Mo Buhui and Sister Mei Lianhua!” Xia Liuhui tipped Xiang Shaoyun off.

“May I know what business the two of you have with me?” Xiang Shaoyun politely asked the duo. He had long known from Xia Liuhui that these two ranked second and third in the outer court respectively.

“Haha, I heard that Brother Xiang was handing out invitations for a meal, so we decided to b.u.t.t in as well. I wonder if Brother Xiang would be so kind as to treat the two of us as well?” Mo Buhui cheerfully laughed.

“I believe that Brother Xiang is not a petty individual. I’m sure you won’t mind, right?” Mei Lianhua glanced seductively at Xiang Shaoyun. If the two of them had previously looked down upon Xiang Shaoyun, their current att.i.tudes had done a full 180.

Not only was he now as famous as they were, he also possessed a five-star physique. His accomplishments were sure to eclipse theirs; hence, making friends with him served to do them much more good than harm.

Xiang Shaoyun was a friendly person by nature. Waving his hand, he proudly said, “No problem! Since the two of you are willing to join, I must naturally play the role of a good host!”

As such, Xiang Shaoyun and co headed for the restaurant. Xia Liuhui was completely bowled over by Mei Lianhua’s divine appearance, constantly casting his eyes on her as his face would occasionally flash red. He was simply a completely pure youth. Xiang Shaoyun noticed his useless figure and began to regret taking in such an underling. This was simply tainting his heroic reputation.

As they were halfway there, a thought suddenly hit Xiang Shaoyun, and he cried out, “d.a.m.n it!”

“What’s wrong?” Lu Xiaoqing asked, completely clueless about Xiang Shaoyun’s sudden outburst.
