Chapter 113 - Royally Arrogant, Huangpu Qingyun (1/2)

The night passed and Zhuo Fan walked out of his room. He was welcomed by the warm sun, yet his eyes were cold as ever.

After a thorough analysis, he came to the decision to strike. Tonight was his best chance to steal her Bodhi Jade Sap, when Chu Qingcheng was alone.

The best case was if it all went smoothly. If not, it couldn’t be helped. He wouldn’t shirk from killing if it’d get him the medicine.

He was the Demonic Emperor and not even a woman could stand in his way.

Zhuo Fan took steps towards Chu Qingcheng’s room. From his gait, one could even see a certain growing resolve.

But the closer he got, the stranger he felt. Why were there so few people in Drifting Flowers Edifice? Not even the guests were around.

“Make way, make way!”

A rash and urgent yell came from a figure in red moving with great haste. It was none other than Xiao Dandan.

Thinking for a moment, he flashed before her.

Thump!

Xiao Dandan seemed to have smacked into an iron wall and fell to the ground, bringing sharp pain to her butt and head.

“Who is so blind that dares block me…” Xiao Dandan cursed but she choked on her words when she saw Zhuo Fan.

Eying her coldly, Zhuo Fan snorted, “Did you say something about a blind man?”

Lowering her head and blushing a bit, Xiao Dandan went by him.

Zhuo Fan was even more perplexed. [She used to be so feisty? So, why did she suddenly change?] He grabbed her arm.

Xiao Dandan shuddered and her cheeks reddened evenmore.

Zhuo Fan ignored her state and said, “Where are you going? Why is Drifting Flowers Edifice so quiet? Where is everyone?”

“Uh, that’s because they went to see young master Huangpu.”

Zhuo Fan frowned then cried, “Huangpu… a man from the Regent Estate? Why is he here so soon?”

“The one who came is Regent Estate’s second young master, Huangpu Qingyun. I heard he and Edifice Lord were childhood sweethearts. With him here, Vicious Pill King will not dare to cause trouble.”

Zhuo Fan’s heart shook.

[Son of a bitch! I just decided to attack and here comes an expert. And did he have to be Chu Qingcheng’s childhood sweetheart too?]

[How the hell am I supposed to do anything with those two sticking like glue?]

Zhuo Fan gnashed his teeth and looked on murderously, “Let’s go. I want to see the oh so great young master Huangpu.”

“Great? How can you be so rude to Regent Estate’s young master…” Xiao Dandan was going to advise him to be restraint, but Zhuo Fan pulled her along before she could say anything.

Xiao Dandan looked at their hands but did not say a word. Though, it could be because her heart was skipping like a deer. Zhuo Fan’s unbridled and rash attitude made her heart jump for the first time for a man.

She was wishing for time to stop right now.

However, with the two’s cultivation, they soon arrived at the entrance of Drifting Flowers Edifice. They looked on towards the crowd. Zhuo Fan let go of his hand, which made the young miss feel a sense of loss.

[Blast it! This damn Regent Estate is too impressive! They are like emperors! To have the other houses welcome them like this!]

The scene shocked him.

From first to third rate clans, all kneeled at the side of the main avenue. And those of powerful clans stood around the Drifting Flowers Edifice’s entrance in welcome.

This was Drifting Flowers Edifice’s headquarters, yet the procession was even grander than the Edifice Lord’s.

Was Regent Estate so strong that it could intimidate the other six?

It had to. With how arrogant and belittling the seven houses were, they would never accept such a loss of face.

His face turned grave, Zhuo Fan’s eyes were like a hawk, watching further ahead.

In the middle of the street, a yellow sedan chair appeared before his eyes.

This sedan chair was plain, with but four people lifting it. They were all Profound Heaven experts!

[Curses to high heaven! Profound Heaven experts?! The other six houses have them as elders and you freaking use them as porters?]

Zhuo Fan’s face twitched and his fist tightened. Though the four Profound Heaven cultivators just broke through, that was beside the point. What was important, was that Regent Estate’s power was incredible.

The rumors didn’t do them justice. They weren’t just three levels stronger!

The other six houses were swept by fear! When the sedan chair was nearby, they walked forward and bowed.

“Ha-ha-ha, I am but a young and uncultured junior, how could I trouble the six houses’ elders to welcome me?”

Candid laughter came from the sedan, strong and resounding, reaching everyone’s ears. The heavy power that it contained gave the impression of a mountain pressing on their hearts, robbing one of all power to resist.

This was a true higher power, backed by soul pressure.
