Chapter 425

The two senior and junior brothers and sisters were talking when they saw Yang Kai walking out quickly from the inside.

“Brother Chen, Sister Shu, long time no see.” Yang Kai had a big smile, as if he hadn’t been this happy for a long time.

Chen Xueshu and Shu Xiaoyu had just been guessing whether the Yang Kai they knew was the one from the Yang family in Zhongdu. When they really saw the person, they couldn’t help but be in a trance for a while and actually forgot to answer, standing there stupidly and looking forward.

At this moment, for some reason, the hearts of the two people suddenly jumped. It seemed that they never expected that the two of them would actually have the honor to make friends with such a person. In an instant, both of them had a bit of a flushed face.

“Is there a flower on my face？” Seeing their restraint, Yang Kai joked.

Hearing the meaning of affinity in his tone the two senior and junior brothers and sisters came back to their senses and returned to their normal state.

Chen Xueshu calmly greeted： “Junior Brother Yang, long time no see.”

Shu Xiaoyu even pouted, looked up and down at Yang Kai, and said angrily: “You guy, you’re really from the Yang family in Zhongdu. We didn’t know at all. It’s so annoying!”

“Junior Sister！” Chen Xueshu pulled on Shu Xiaoyu’s clothes and glared, saying, “The Yang family has rules. Their disciples, when out for training, are not allowed to reveal their identities. Junior Brother Yang didn’t deliberately deceive you.”

“I know.” Shu Xiaoyu smiled brightly, “It’s just a bit of a surprise.”

“It’s not too late to know now. Come in first.” Yang Kai warmly greeted and let the two in.

Along the way, Shu Xiaoyu chirped non-stop like a sparrow, asking questions. She was only from a second-class sect. Although she was the future pillar of the Yingyue Sect, her status was not high after all. Usually, she rarely saw the young masters and ladies of first-class forces. Now that she suddenly met someone from a superpower, she was naturally full of curiosity in her heart.

Especially since this person was someone she had known in advance and they had shared hardships together.

Shu Xiaoyu’s questions were messy and chaotic, as if a village girl from the countryside had entered a big city. All kinds of questions came overwhelming.

Yang Kai led the two in while answering casually. Chen Xueshu smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.

“Is your Yang family big？ I heard that it occupies one-tenth of the entire Zhongdu. You have to ride a horse for three days and three nights to run around it. Is it true？” Shu Xiaoyu became more and more excited as she asked.

Before Yang Kai could answer, there was suddenly a burst of extremely contemptuous laughter.

As the voice entered her ears, Shu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but be stunned. She turned her head and looked around, only to find that before she knew it, Yang Kai had led them to a side hall, and there were already quite a few people sitting in the side hall.

Those young masters and ladies were dressed in luxurious clothes and looked extraordinary at first glance. Basically, they all had powerful guardians by their sides, and the jewelry and pendants they wore also shone with halos, obviously they were all secret treasures of good quality.

In contrast, although she and Chen Xueshu also had secret treasures and were dressed properly, compared with those people, they were like one in the sky and one underground.

The person who let out the mocking laughter was a young master sitting on a chair. At this moment, he was looking over here with a look of looking at bumpkins.

Shu Xiaoyu’s face turned red in an instant, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground and directly and never come out to see people again.

Yang Kai frowned slightly and smiled and said, “Don’t listen to what people outside say. Although the Yang family covers a large area, it’s not that exaggerated.”

“Oh.” Shu Xiaoyu’s eyelashes flickered. Even though Yang Kai was making excuses for her, she was still extremely embarrassed. Chen Xueshu pinched her palm without leaving a trace passing on his comfort. Shu Xiaoyu’s mood improved a lot.

She really didn’t expect there to be so many people waiting here. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have asked so many questions that sounded idiotic.

She really hadn’t seen much of the world, but when out and about, she also knew what to say and what to do. It was just that Yang Kai had shown himself to be very amiable before, not looking down on her and Chen Xueshu at all because of his extraordinary background. In a moment of happiness, Shu Xiaoyu had asked a few more questions, but she didn’t expect them to reach the ears of others.

“Come, let me introduce you.” Yang Kai lightly brushed aside the previous awkwardness and said with enthusiasm, “These two are friends I went through hardships with during my training in a foreign land, Chen Xueshu and Shu Xiaoyu of the Yingyue Sect.”

In that foreign land, Yang Kai had received a lot of guidance from Chen Xueshu. Later, these two senior and junior siblings even wanted to travel with Yang Kai and take care of each other.

At that time, they were at the Third Layer of the True Yuan Realm, while Yang Kai was only at the Third Layer of the Lihe Realm. Clearly, Chen Xueshu and Shu Xiaoyu wanted to take care of him.

Precisely because of this, Yang Kai also had a good impression of the two.

Chen Xueshu smiled and shook his head: “Junior Brother Yang is too serious. It was Junior Brother Yang who saved the lives of my senior sister and me. If it weren’t for Junior Brother Yang, my senior sister and I might have turned into bones by now. The grace of saving our lives will be remembered in our hearts.”

“Since they are Yang Kai’s friends, then they are Dong Qinghan’s friends.” Fatty Dong smiled and stood up, cupping his fists with a kind expression. Fatty Dong knew that the friends Yang Kai had made in the past few years were all made with his heart, friends that did not involve the slightest bit of interest or relationship.

Such people are the ones Yang Kai likes the most. Generally, the young masters from wealthy families all have such a common problem. When others come to make friends with them, their first thought is to suspect whether others want to get involved in an interest relationship with them.

So Fatty Dong was also quite solemn and earnest.

“So it turns out to be Young Master Dong！” Chen Xueshu had obviously heard of Dong Qinghan’s name. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly returned the salute.

“Ziwei Valley, Fan Hong！”

“Nice to meet Brother Fan.”

“The Qiu family, Qiu Yimeng.” The eldest young lady of the Qiu family had a gentle smile on her face, and her beautiful face was exuding an astonishing luster, looking extremely beautiful and charming.

Chen Xueshu’s expression changed, and Shu Xiaoyu also looked at Qiu Yimeng in surprise.

“So it turns out to be the eldest young lady of the Qiu family. I’ve heard of your name for a long time！” This was not just a polite remark. Chen Xueshu’s words were sincere, and his admiration was palpable. There was also a hint of admiration on his face.

Qiu Yimeng giggled and was very pleased. She gave Yang Kai a provocative look, as if to say that even if you don’t take me seriously, this young lady is still famous all over the world.

Among the people sitting there, all of them took the initiative to greet Chen Xueshu for Yang Kai’s sake. Only Lu Song was sitting on the chair Youdaoplaceholder0, with a hint of disdain on his face.

Chen Xueshu turned to him and smiled, clasping his fists and asking, “May I ask who this is…”

Naturally, he could tell that this person looked down on him and his junior sister a little. The taunting laughter just now was also made by him. It was normal for people from second-class sects to be looked down upon by those from first-class families when they were away from home. Chen Xueshu had seen a lot of this, so of course he wouldn’t hold any grudges in his heart.

Moreover, the people here should all be Yang Kai’s allies. How could he make Yang Kai embarrassed？ He also had the intention to resolve the conflict between himself and Lv Song.

After all, if things went smoothly, everyone would have to work together in the future. If there was a conflict between allies, Yang Kai, who was the host, would also be in a difficult position.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Xueshu asked in such a low-profile manner, Lv Song didn’t say a word, as if he was deaf, and was leisurely blowing on the tea.

Yang Kai’s gaze stared over, and a cold smile gradually emerged on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and looked at Qiu Yimeng again.

After all, Lv Song was Qiu Yimeng’s cousin. He wanted to see who gave Lv Song the courage to put on a bad face here and who was backing him up.

When his gaze turned over, he happened to meet the beautiful eyes of Young Lady Qiu. Qiu Yimeng actually had a smile on her face and slowly shook her head at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown, and his eyes slowly narrowed, with the cold light in his eyes becoming even stronger.

Chen Xueshu waited quietly for a moment. Still not seeing Lu Song answer, his expression couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed. He continued to ask patiently, “Brother, did Chen do something to offend？ If so, Chen is here to apologize to you. Please be magnanimous.”

After these words were spoken, Shu Xiaoyu’s eyes instantly became watery, and she actually had an urge to cry.

Chen Xueshu was her senior brother and also her lover. It was nothing for her to be laughed at by Lu Song, just embarrassing. But seeing the hero in her heart apologize so humbly, how could she not feel distressed？

Especially since the other party was simply making things difficult and despising them for no reason.

With tears in her eyes, Shu Xiaoyu turned her head and looked at Yang Kai pleadingly, hoping that he could smooth things over so that her senior brother would no longer be embarrassed.

Yang Kai grinned at her and moved his mouth. Shu Xiaoyu didn’t see clearly what he said, but she understood the meaning in those eyes.

Don’t be impatient！

Little Sister Shu’s mood immediately calmed down a lot. Knowing that Yang Kai wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing, she couldn’t help but sniff her little nose, endure the tears swirling in her eyes, and remained silent.

Chen Xueshu asked twice, and finally Lu Song put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head haughtily： “It’s too serious. There is no place where I have been offended. It’s just that I am a rather lonely person and not good at communicating, especially with those who have no knowledge. I have nothing to say.”

Chen Xueshu’s expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly： “Oh, that’s the case. Then I was abrupt.”

Lu Song raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Xueshu, smiling lightly： “You are from Yingyue Sect？”

“Yes, my junior sister and I are from Yingyue Sect.”

“How many people came to participate in the succession battle this time？”

Chen Xueshu’s face was embarrassed, and he said with some difficulty: “For the time being, there are only my junior sister and I, but…

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sneer from Lu Song.

The eldest son of the Lu family stood up, walked forward with his hands behind his back, looking high and mighty, and said： “Only two people… True Yuan Realm Layer 7. Just like this, you still want to participate in the succession battle？ Do you think it’s a children’s game？”

After a burst of sarcasm, Chen Xueshu was speechless and his face was flushed.

Lu Song was smug and quietly took a look at Qiu Yimeng. At this moment Miss Qiu was smiling and had a look of approval on her face, which made Lu Song feel that he should strike while the iron is hot and squeeze out these two guys who wanted to curry favor and get benefits.

“Do you know how many people have come to my Lu family？” Lu Song looked at Chen Xueshu with contempt. “Two Divine Movement Realm Layer 7, one Divine Movement Realm Layer 4, two Divine Movement Realm Layer 3. Besides, there are also twenty True Yuan Realm martial artists and countless materials.”
