Chapter:92

EndlessFantasy Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Xiqiao usually arrived on time, and hence all the guests were present and just waiting for his arrival.

With Jiang Shuxuan's position, it was obviously troublesome to appear in public, and the Yin family also did not dare to let him out to entertain the guests, so he arrived with Gu Xiqiao.

The man was wearing a clean white shirt and slender black trousers, his entire body exuding a dangerous aura. Her face showed an ordinary indifferent expression, the graceful and graceful sight on her beautiful features made it seem as if her face was carved from ice.

The woman was wearing a pastel green dress, breathing in everyone with just a glance. Her figure was delicate, as if it had been painted on her face like a graceful painting with incomparable beauty.

They both have very opposite temperaments, but it is hard to say that in the way they stand together in perfect harmony. They are made for the perfect couple, as if they should be.

For a moment, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded and could only stare at the two in a daze.

Jiang Shuxuan's status was special, and even in the Imperial Capital he rarely appeared in public. Therefore, it was impossible for the Yin family to have Jiang Shuxuan as the host. In N City, the Yin family was in second place, and no one dared to claim the top position, and no one dared to cause trouble in their territory.

“Mr Jiang, are you heading upstairs?” Yin Shaoyuan greeted Jiang Shuxuan as he tried his best to ignore the intimidating gazes of others. “With you standing here, no one dares to speak normally.

He looked around the hall, and sure enough, everyone lowered their heads, speaking in a barely audible voice. Their actions were also careful and slow, how would this look like a banquet if it continued this way? The people here obviously did not know Jiang Shuxuan personally, but it was strange that they would be so afraid of him. As long as Jiang Shuxuan existed, they would not be able to hold a banquet properly.

Jiang Shuxuan glanced at Gu Xiqiao, who was standing not too far away. He raised his eyebrows, and pursed his lips tightly, “Now?”

“Of course, the effect of your presence has been achieved,” Yin Shaoyuan said as he scratched his nose. “So, in order for the banquet to run as usual, you have to.. go!”

As soon as those words came out of his mouth, Jiang Shuxuan turned his gaze towards Yin Shaoyuan, his obsidian eyes seemingly capable of seeing every single thought of his.

Yin Shaoyuan shuddered and held him back. Fortunately, Jiang Shuxuan left from the top floor as soon as he finished. If Master Jiang did not leave on his own accord, what else could he do?

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the hall loosened. Like a button that suddenly turned on, the party came back lively.

Speaking of adopting a goddaughter or other relative, the ceremony has more depth than just a banquet. Usually, the parents of the child will entertain guests, and also prepare gifts for the godparents. Of course, for some reason, a banquet was held in Yin Manor, which to some extent also showed how important the Yin family looked to Gu Xiqiao. Tang Yanling had even prepared a golden bowl, a pair of golden chopsticks, and a longevity key for Gu Xiqiao as a gift. He also personally went to the Huguo Temple to ask for the protective key for good luck.

Both sides of the gate were filled with gifts, and these were no ordinary gifts. It was said that it was a great gift that had been prepared together by several families, and the recipient was Gu Xiqiao.

The gifts were indeed very large in size, and the people who came out or entered would stop in front of him for a while to admire his size before continuing on the journey. They did not know why all the prestigious families showed such an attitude, but they also guessed that it was not to please the Yin family, it was purely for the sake of that person — Gu Xiqiao!

The greatest surprise came when even the rare Yin Guofu had appeared had been moved to appear. When he looked at Gu Xiqiao, there was only kindness and satisfaction in his eyes. Everyone who saw this could clearly guess that this old man was very happy with Gu Xiqiao.

The guests present could see the signs, and their views and impressions of Gu Xiqiao changed continuously. Even though she was only the goddaughter of the Yin family, she must have been well-liked. Looks like the beloved princess in N City will be replaced soon. Although the other women present were envious, none of them dared to show those marks on their faces, maintaining a smile on them.

Tang Yanling took Gu Xiqiao for a walk among the noble ladies, and suddenly she became the most popular person, as every Tom,***, and Harry cried out to welcome her. Gu Xiqiao was also well-behaved, showing generous yet courteous behavior, unlike the person who had just first attended the banquet. With that, Tang Yanling felt reassured to let her roam around and deal with the crowd by herself.

***

‘System, I want out.’ Despite Gu Xiqiao's talent in maintaining an extraordinary facade, maintaining a fake modesty mask for a long time would definitely cost anyone. The kind where you smile all the time, while not wanting to smile in the slightest, or the kind where a single sentence has a lot of hidden meaning behind it, or the rounds and rounds trying to lick it. Thinking about all this made his head hurt.

In the virtual space, the system spirit had stopped playing its game. A floating projectile featuring a cut of the ongoing scene is in front of it, a glittering ray of light shines from the character with the name ‘For A Millennium’ on it, and the, and then the top boss in the game falls soon after. The spirit system laughed in satisfaction before processing Gu Xiqiao's words, [Do you... want me to move you out of there?]

‘Only you can say these kinds of things, teleport in front of the crowd, are you stupid?’

[Don't you think that would be cool?]

‘From cool, my life is more important.’

[…]

In the end, it was Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen who had come to save him. The two came with their families, but refrained from greeting Gu Xiqiao when they saw that he was busy. Their family had brought them along with the intention to introduce them to some of their business associates, so only now did they have a chance to escape.

Gu Xiqiao could only relax when the surrounding people finally left.

“I came with my older brother, but he talked to a group of parents. It was very suffocating, ” complained Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun's mouth froze, and looked at Wu Hongwen before proceeding to ignore him. He lowered his head, his expression serious. “I don't really understand the Yin family, but I see how well Mrs Yin treats you now, so I'm relieved.”

Gu Xiqiao was well aware that the two of them were not the type to patiently attend the banquet, and they were here for her sake. “When we have time, I will explain it well to you two. The most important thing right now is, I have to go to the restroom. ”

As soon as she left, the woman in red who was in the corner put her glass down, the corner of her mouth slightly raised as she moved to follow.

***

In the restroom, Gu Xiqiao was patting her face with water. He glanced at the mirror and suddenly straightened his body.

[Beauty Qiao, a hostile person approached. He was someone from the ancient martial arts world, and had reached the level of Bone Refinement. It seems like he is arguably a genius on Earth, but he is still not as good as you.]

Hearing the system's words, Gu Xiqiao narrowed his eyes. He pinched the tissue and used it to wipe hands, finger by finger.

Murong Miaoxue crossed her arms under her chest, her eyes assessing the person standing in front of her.

She was leaning against the sink, her pastel green dress outlining her slender body, and her skin was white like a new layer of snow. His eyes were clear, slightly shining like jade. His brows were smooth, like a well-painted painting, and he had a faint aura emanating from it, but what was undeniable was…

No matter how you look at it, she is just an immature and inexperienced little girl!

“You Gu Xiqiao, I guess,” said Murong Miaoxue through her red and shiny lips, “Don't look too wary, little girl, I have no ill intentions. Of course, I am also not the type to bully others. Today I only have a few things I want to discuss with you. “

“Please,” said Gu Xiqiao, giving him a light smile. While throwing away the tissue paper in his hand, he continued, “I listened.”

Murong Miaoxue was surprised to see him looking so calm.

“I know that you have been around Jiang Shuxuan for the past two months, but after all this time, do you know who he really is?” Murong Miaoxue paused for a moment, observing Gu Xiqiao's face, “It seems like she didn't tell you, and I won't blame her. Our family is naturally closed, and not many people outside know. I'm seeing that you're quite indulgent to the eye, so I'm reminding you that we're not from the same world. We are divided into several ranks, and you are at the lowest rank. Even if I don't spell it out for you, you have to feel it for yourself, don't you? “

Gu Xiqiao pondered the words Murong Miaoxue had just spoken. He didn't really understand what Murong Miaoxue meant, but if it was meant to insult Gu Xiqiao with those words, then he would be very disappointed.

Nodding politely, he replied, “Thank you for a good reminder.”

It feels like hitting cotton with a — fist he is not at all distracted. Murong Miaoxue narrowed her eyes, then she suddenly waved her hand.

Gu Xiqiao felt a surge of energy sweep across his face, and ‘crack’ sounded behind him. The mirror beside the sink had cracked, slowly breaking apart and turning into dust.

“Did you see that? That's the difference between us. ” Murong Miaoxue said, looking into Gu Xiqiao's eyes with arrogance and hubris, “Jiang Shuxuan is the hope of this generation of reclusive families, and I'm not the only one who is captivated by him. There are other demon girls that even I fear, so how many chances do you have compared to us? Otherwise, when you arrive at the Imperial Capital, you will die before you even know how it happened. After all, Jiang Shuxuan will not be able to stay by your side to protect you the entire time! ”

[Beauty Qiao, hit him!] The spirit system shouted from the virtual space, looking extremely furious, [He was just at the Bone Refinement level, and he was even older than you by several years. How thick his face was. If he was so special, why didn't he compare himself to Jiang Shuxuan alone!]

“Differences?” Gu Xiqiao raised his head, a gentle expression on his face as he laughed lightly. He raised his hand. This is the meaning of difference.

He bent his finger, and the narrow space they were in instantly fell into the void.

Murong Miaoxue's haughty expression suddenly disappeared, staring at the void in bewilderment. His eyes widened as he stared, and after a long time, he stuttered, “This ... this .. Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Array, how could it be ?!”

He was lucky to have seen the elders in the family who did not know how to perform the formation, but used jade and talismans to set it up as a decoration. Those who were trapped inside here, no matter how high their rank was, they would not be able to use violence to get out of there. One could only try to find the center of the formation. There were only a handful of formation masters in the world, even fewer of them could destroy the Nine Palaces and the Eight Trigrams Array, and even fewer of them could set the array at will.

Using chi to draw the Nine Palaces Array and the Eight Trigrams basically made the space self-sufficient, and the master capable of controlling the array should have a deep and profound understanding of chi. A person trapped here could only wait for a massacre with no way out. Thinking that he had taken out a huge weapon in front of others and had the advantage, Murong Miaoxue felt extremely ashamed of herself!

Gu Xiqiao waved his hand to eliminate the array, and glanced at Murong Miaoxue once more, before walking around him to leave without a word.

Murong Miaoxue could only stand there as she watched Gu Xiqiao leave without stopping her. The girl's back was really thin, completely unlike someone with such profound strength.

Murong Miaoxue was unable to move for a long time. How old was he, and how could he reach this level? Is that another ‘Jiang Shuxuan’ that has been born? Even if he had to fight against the demon girl, it seemed like he could hold it himself? But the reclusive family member he knew had never heard of this girl, so who was she really?

Or could it be that he was the descendant of some teacher? Murong Miaouxue could only second-guess in his heart, no one could give him an answer.
