Chapter 533 (2/2)

The following day, when Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave for the governor, he received a report that a lot of people were requesting to meet him. They were the people with both power and status in the city. Evidently, they were there for his follower spots.

Left with no choice, Xiang Shaoyun released news that his follower spots had been filled up and he no longer needed any followers. Only then did they leave grudgingly. Finally, he found the chance to visit the city hall. He was no longer afraid that the Rat a.s.sa.s.sins would come looking for him.

Both the city hall and the Ghostface Sect had declared that any member of the Rat a.s.sa.s.sins daring to step into the city would be killed. The people in the city were confused as to why the two organizations had made such a decision, but they all knew that the Rat a.s.sa.s.sins wouldn't dare overlook the warning issued by these two organizations despite their might.

Walking along the path, Xiang Shaoyun felt as if he was bearing the weight of a mountain. Each step he took was extremely heavy, forcing him to constantly use his astral energy to neutralize the pressure, but it did not make him unhappy. Rather, he was in a good mood and was even observing the pedestrians around him.

He was rejoicing in the great gains he had obtained after arriving at this city. Not only had his cultivation level grown, he had also learned a lot of information relating to his birth. He had also gained more understanding on the various questions he had after his bloodline awakened. The things he had learned gave him a better direction in his future path of cultivation and planted in him a desire to find out more about his mother.

As he walked, Xiang Shaoyun was deep in thought and completely oblivious to the gazes the many women were throwing his way, filling those eyes with bitterness. It was rare for them to see a young man so elegant and handsome, yet the young man was actually viewing them with complete disregard.

When Xiang Shaoyun neared the city hall, someone blocked his path.

”Young Master Xiang, our Young Master Qing would like to invite you to the Yu Moon Pavilion,” an old man said with a beam on his face.

”You are?” Xiang Shaoyun asked in confusion. He was sure he had never seen the old man before, yet the old man could actually recognize him, and he had even invited him to the Yu Moon Pavilion. He was probably someone from the Yu Clan.

Sure enough, the old man replied, ”I am Ye Ye, a butler of Yu Province's Ye Clan. My young master is hoping to meet you after hearing of your fame. I hope you'll do me the honor of accepting this invitation.”

”Ye Clan? I've never heard of it. I'm busy,” Xiang Shaoyun rejected without any hesitation.

”Don't be too fast to reject, Young Master Xiang. My young master is a relative of the Yu Clan and can be considered a part of the Yu Clan as well. As for you, you're a son-in-law candidate of the Yu Clan. I am confident you and my young master will get along fine!” said Ye Ye in an unhurried manner.

Xiang Shaoyun frowned. ”I don't have the time for that right now.”

”There's no rush. My young master does not mind changing the time to tonight instead,” said Ye Ye.

When Xiang Shaoyun saw how stubborn the old man was being, he hesitated slightly and then finally agreed out of respect for Yu Caidie. ”Fine. I'll be there tonight.”

”We look forward to meeting you tonight,” said Ye Ye before stepping aside.

Xiang Shaoyun then continued heading toward the city hall. Unknown to him, a smile of someone whose scheme had succeeded formed on Ye Ye's face.

”Hold it! Who are you? How dare you intrude upon the city hall?” The city hall guards started berating Xiang Shaoyun when he approached.

”Xiang Shaoyun, requesting to meet the governor,” Xiang Shaoyun replied calmly.
