Chapter 271
Womanizing Mage, Chapter 271: Sever at one stroke
“With crown prince personally inviting, how could this younger brother dare to not come.” Long Yi faintly laughed and said. From the time he had seen the spring scenery of crown prince and Madame Ye, he knew that this crown prince was absolutely a kind of people who would use fair means or foul to achieve his goals.
Long Ying nodded his head with a smile, and after greeting Beitang Yu, he led them inside. The arrival of Long Yi created a commotion among n.o.ble young masters and young ladies inside. Many people came to greet him in succession, of course, there were also some people giving him a cold shoulder.
Long Yi looked around this drinking party hall which had an elegant atmosphere, and saw many familiar people here. Among them, there were a number of silkpants brothers who formerly used to follow Ximen Yu to act wildly, but now, it was different from the past, everyone could see the change of Long Yi, therefore these silkpants brothers didn’t dare to take the initiative to look for Long Yi.
Because Long Ying was the host, he chatted with Long Yi for a little while, then he left to greet other guests. After that, Long Yi conveniently took two cups of wine, and handing one cup over to Beitang Yu, he said: “You don’t need to accompany me, go and look for your acquaintances.”
“Not going, I want to accompany you today.” Beitang Yu sipped a mouthful of wine and said with a smile. As a matter of fact, she was afraid that if she left, Long Yi would be surrounded by a bevy of young girls.
Long Yi didn’t speak again, he found this kind of drinking party somewhat boring. With his current vision and taste, previous Ximen Yu was basically nothing. In his view, these n.o.ble young masters and young ladies mostly were a pillow with an embroidered case and just a pretty face. Although they dressed well, in fact not many had the true ability, so he wasn’t interested to a.s.sociate with them. [T.N: a pillow with an embroidered case= outwardly attractive but worthless person]
Drinking party was simply like this, even if you don’t want to seek connection with people with higher status, but other people will come to make a connection to clung to you. With the position and strength of Long Yi, perhaps those young masters and young ladies who were a.s.sociated with royal family, under the instruction of their elders, wouldn’t come to make a contact with Long Yi, but those young masters and young ladies who were from the family who was tied together with Ximen clan were unlikely to miss such a big chance. They came to chat with Long Yi in succession, thinking if luckily this Second Young Master Ximen recognized their worth, then hereafter they would have a smooth path ahead. With Second Young Master Ximen as their backer, who would dare bully them?
Concerning these people, Long Yi merely smiled lightly and replied once in a while with few words, but his eyes were scanning the crowds, thinking to see whether Nangong Xiangyun, this girl had come or not.
“No need to look, the girl who is marrying soon is not allowed to go out to partic.i.p.ate in such drinking party.” As if seeing through the thoughts of Long Yi, Beitang Yu enviously whispered beside his ear.
Other people had ambitious thoughts seeing this intimacy of Beitang Yu and Long Yi, and many people began to make fun of her too, but contrary to expectation, Beitang Yu didn’t refute instead showed bashful expression, moreover, leaned on Long Yi, using action to show her relations.h.i.+p with Long Yi.
“Humph, merely is a trash who depends upon the power of his clan to oppress the people, nothing else.” Suddenly a cold voice came from the surrounding, and the hall instantly became quiet all of a sudden, then everybody uniformly looked towards the speaker. That person
was a youngster in a gorgeous dress, he was also handsome, and at this time, he was sarcastically staring at Long Yi.
Long Yi frowned, he didn’t have any impression on this fellow in his memory, but did this fellow who cannot tell good from bad dared to challenge him?
“Gongsun Chengren, who did you cursed?” Before Long Yi could speak, Beitang Yu stepped forward and coldly stared at that fellow.
Hearing that fellow’s surname was Gongsun, Long Yi guessed that this youngster was the young master of Gongsun clan. Gongsun clan had always been the people of imperial clan, and previously, he seemed to have heard that Beitang clan and Gongsun clan wanted to have a relation by marriage, but later this matter ended with nothing definite because of unknown reason, so this fellow might have been jealous. Thinking this, Long Yi smiled.
“All those that have ears knows who I cursed. Other people fear this Second Young Master Ximen, but I, Gongsun Chengren is not afraid of him.” Gongsun Chengren angrily said, but his eyes were looking at Beitang Yu with complex emotion. Even a blind people could see his feelings.
“If you talk nonsense again, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Beitang Yu coldly said. She had just savored the gentleness of Long Yi, how could she be able to bear other people making malicious remarks about him?
The corner of Gongsun Chengren’s mouth twitched, and sadly looking at Beitang Yu, he said: “Yu’er, I have always thought that you are different from other girls, never expected you are also a girl who coveted a vainglory. If not for the interference of this fellow, we would have already gotten married long ago.”
The eyes of Long Yi flashed with cold light, and his handsome face also became cold. And young masters and young ladies around kept silence as they knew that a good show was about to begin here.
“Gongsun Chengren, you shut up, don’t call me Yu’er, I have never liked you, and I have also never agreed to the marriage of that time.” Beitang Yu urgently said and turning around towards Long Yi, she saw his cold face, causing her to panic in her heart, and she immediately said: “Ximen Yu, believe in me, I don’t have even a little bit of relations.h.i.+p with him.”
“I truly have never expected you to change like this, this fellow however is just a profligate son who depends on the power of his clan, at that time, how many women were persecuted by him? Even Little Princess Long Ling’er was audaciously raped by him……” Before Gongsun Chengren could finish speaking, Beitang Yu angrily kicked, sending him flying.
“Who dares to say bad things about my sweetheart, don’t blame me, Beitang Yu to raise my hand against them who had no sense of priorities.” Beitang Yu coldly retracted her leg, then looking around, she returned to the side of Long Yi.
“This unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything fellow.” In one corner, killing intent flashed in the eyes of Crown Prince Long Ying. Although Gongsun clan was people of his camp, but publicly creating disturbance in the drinking party he was holding, moreover, actually mentioning his little sister Long Ling’er whom he doted the most, made him angry.
“Flatten this brat, actually dares to slander Second Young Master Ximen.” Just when Long Ying was about to step forward to settle this matter, a person from the middle of the crowd rushed towards Gongsun Chengren who had yet to stand on the ground and kicked him, and now that someone took the lead, all of a sudden, a large group of people rushed over and surrounding Gongsun Chengren, he was beaten up.
Long Yi didn’t say anything, he was just waiting for Long Ying. He knew this Crown Prince was looking from a certain corner.
