Ever since Shang Yafang revealed Xiang Shaoyun's ident.i.ty, Hui Yuzheng and company treated Xiang Shaoyun like a G.o.d. Their s.h.i.+ft in att.i.tude reached a level where Xiang Shaoyun was having a hard time bearing with him. Xiang Shaoyun couldn't be bothered to deal with them, but they insisted on throwing him a feast. Of course, he rejected the offer.

Hui Yuzheng and company were unwilling to give up so easily, and they even requested Shang Yafang's help. Originally, Shang Yafang wanted to spend time alone with Xiang Shaoyun, but she soon realized that Xiang Shaoyun had no romantic feelings toward her and only saw her as a little sister. The realization made her understand a few other things as well.

Thus, she started begging Xiang Shaoyun to accept Hui Yuzheng's invitation. After all, Hui Yuzheng's and his friends' clans were the Shang Clan's subordinates. She had also grown up with them. Since they weren't enemies, it was not an issue for her to provide them some help.

Helpless, Xiang Shaoyun could only accept the invitation. He went to the best restaurant in the city to experience a life of decadence. Hui Yuzheng and the others showcased their capability as decadent young masters and ordered a large amount of delicacies and fine liquors to serve Xiang Shaoyun.

If it wasn't for the fact that Shang Yafang was with them, they would have called some hostesses over as well. Initially, Xiang Shaoyun was a bit absent-minded. But after some drinking, he became much more at ease. He talked endlessly with them, drank to his heart's content, and fully loosened himself.

With the release of his repressed emotions, he finally realized that he was also a barely 20-year-old young man. There was no need for him to act mature all the time, as it might not be beneficial for him.

One should live life to the fullest and enjoy what he had before him. What was the point of constantly brooding over his problems all the time? At that realization, Xiang Shaoyun fully released himself and started enjoying the feast with Shang Yafang, Hui Yuzheng, and the others.

They could all sense the s.h.i.+ft in Xiang Shaoyun's att.i.tude. Their previous impression of him was of a lofty person difficult to approach. But now, he was amiable and approachable, no longer staying on the pedestal all the time. After spending a day together, they finally dispersed.

Hui Yuzheng and the others tried their best to shamelessly pledge their allegiance to him and make him their boss. However, since Xiang Shaoyun still needed to return to the Dragon Phoenix Academy, he couldn't agree to their request. Instead, he treated them like regular friends. The minor conflict from earlier had all been forgotten.

Two days pa.s.sed, and Shang Jifeng's group finally returned. That day, Xiang Shaoyun was resting within his guest house when he suddenly sensed the nether prison devil puppet. With  a trace of his consciousness imprinted on the puppet, if he wasn't dead, it would be hard for others to erase his imprint. Just when he was wondering if Winter Frost and Summer Flame had arrived, Shang Jifeng arrived with Shang Yafang.

”Young Master Xiang, you actually arrived at our Shang City. Looks like I was too slow,” said Shang Jifeng guiltily.

He did not address Xiang Shaoyun as overlord because this was the Shang Clan's territory and not the academy. The meaning behind the t.i.tle would be completely different, and he had to be careful how he addressed someone in his clan's territory.

”Don't worry about it, Jifeng. Your father told me about the reinforcements you left with. I was the one who couldn't wait and made a move before you guys arrived. My apologies for making you guys travel for nothing,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”My dearest big brothers, why are the two of you being so courteous? It's so corny,” said Shang Yafang, who couldn't stand them anymore.

”Haha,” both Xiang Shaoyun and Shang Jifeng roared with laughter.

”True, we don't need to be so courteous with each other,” said Shang Jifeng. He then started narrating his side of the events, telling Xiang Shaoyun about how he had brought the nether prison devil puppet back.

Xiang Shaoyun also gave a simple narration of what had happened on his side. He made everything sound easy, but Shang Jifeng knew it had been exceedingly dangerous.

”Young Master Xiang, since you have already rescued her, why didn't you bring her here as well?” Shang Jifeng asked doubtfully.
