Chapter 713 - The Window Is Closed (1/2)
“Now that the Dragon Court members are here, is he also coming?” Xia Shengtang walks to the woman in a cheongsam, saying with a sarcastic smile, “It will be the best if he doesn’t come. If he really comes, I will kick him out.”
“Oh?” The woman squints at him and says, “You are so confident?”
“Or else?” Xia Shengtang says confidently, “If I cannot deal with him, can I be Xia Lu’s brother?”
The woman is dazed and cannot figure out what the relationship between the two matters is. Is the mindset of the cultivator at the realm of Master so different from that of an ordinary man?
“Has he come here yet?” Xia Shengtang continues asking.
The woman is a bit confused, “Do you want him to come or not?”
Xia Shengtang cannot utter a word now. After a while, he snorts and says, “Women are so irrational.” Then, he just leaves.
The woman feels so angry that she wants to give him a serious beating.
Who on earth is being irrational?
“Sigh. Men are so complicated!” The man carrying the broadsword walks over quietly and sighs.
“You are not a man?” The woman takes a glance at him and sneers, “Yue Xincheng, aren’t you being trained by Horn Dragon? Why are you here too?”
“You are here. How can I not come here too? Ms. Qin, the Dragon Court only sends you here?”
“Of course, who else can be sent? Do you think they are idle?” Qin Yuming snaps, “Do you really think everyone is just like you?”
Yue Xincheng almost sheds tears in anger. He raises his arms as if a kid showing his new clothes to his parents and turns around a few times. Then, he stares at Qin Yuming primly and says with a serious face, “Ms. Qin, look at my muscles and skin. It’s almost winter and I still get tanned. Can you believe it?”
“Well…” Qin Yuming shakes her head. This is an unbelievable thing indeed.
Was Yue Xincheng brought by Horn Dragon to Southeast Region for the training?
“By the way, will your boss come or not?”
“If he didn’t come, I wouldn’t be here then,” Yue Xincheng says calmly.
“Oh?” Qin Yuming is surprised and asks, “Did he tell you about it?”
“No.”
“Then you…”
“It is a guess based on what I’ve known about him over the past years,” Yue Xincheng answers with gleaming eyes, “What do you think of my answer?”
Qin Yuming says nothing.
If others said so, Qin Yuming would give a snort of contempt.
However, such words uttered by Yue Xincheng sound somewhat convincing.
The atmosphere in the Xia Family is really weird now.
Some people arriving late are ushered into the yard by the servants of the Xia Family. Seeing such a weird scene, they are all shocked.
“Ahem. Xia, what’s going on?”
“Yeah, Xia Mu, is this…your test for the people who come to propose marriage?”
“No, it can’t be right. There is no such custom in Song City.”
These people approach Xia Mu and discuss the scene.
Xia Mu’s face keeps twitching and tears almost stream out of his eyes.
He has already felt embarrassed and now these people start chatting about it.
How should he respond?
How can he respond?
These people must be here to mess around!
Xia Mu feels like expelling them now!
“Ahem, Chen, don’t talk nonsense! Come here. Let me tell you what’s going on…” A guest who arrived earlier hastens to step forward and drag these people away. Then, he starts to explain the matter to them in a low voice. The people here are all cultivators. It is of little significance whether he talks in a low voice or not. For example, if Wu You wants to hear what the guest says, surely he can. This is actually a matter of respect. He can indeed hear the guest talking even though they talk in a low voice but it still proves that they are intending to conceal.
However, Wu You’s countenance still remains the same.
No one knows whether he really hears the gossiping or pretends not to.
Perhaps, the truth turns out to be as Xia Shengtang pointed out. That is, Wu You’s biggest merit is shamelessness…
Sitting before the window, Xia Lu looks at the two persons crawling towards her with a poker face.
Her eyes are cold. And she doesn’t mean to stand up and receive them.
