The sky has wind.
It blew through the unique alpine meadows of Yuning Mountain, rustling.
"Didn't I tell you to wait in Shisu Town, how did you end up here?" Chen Yang finally asked.
"Hmph!"
Mu Ling'er wrinkled her nose, looking displeased, her hand holding the whip on her waist, head held high and arrogantly said, "Yuning Mountain is vast, where can't this princess go?"
"What, do you think this princess needs your permission to go anywhere?"
Her words were bold and arrogantly proud.
Especially those lively eyes, full of challenge.
However, what left Ling'er astonished was Chen Yang turning straight around and entering the room.
Mu Ling'er: "..."
"Chen Yang, come back here!" Mu Ling'er shouted angrily.
No response.
Only the mountain wind howled.
"Bastard!!"
Mu Ling'er was furious, her teeth clenched and threw her whip onto the ground.
"Cough cough."
Mu Gang looked helpless and pretended to cough, "Princess, why must you maintain such an attitude in front of Chen Yang?"
"You're blaming me?"
Mu Ling'er laughed angrily, "Are you senile? Didn't you see how he treated me?"
"Attitude is mutual. To be honest, Princess, you were indeed in the wrong first."
Mu Gang said slowly, "Besides, you're asking a favor of him! And if he's going to pretend to be your boyfriend, once back at the City Lord's Mansion, how can you keep this attitude?"
"If you don't want to give it away, Princess, you'd better adjust your position. You don't need an old guy like me to tell you how to do it, right?"
"But..."
Mu Ling'er was unwilling, clearly that guy was disrespectful to her, but now she's the one who has to curry favor?
Just thinking about it made Mu Ling'er furious.
"Hmph!!"
In the end, Mu Ling'er puffed out her cheeks and angrily shouted, "I'm hungry."
Mu Gang: "..."
...
Ye Hua was openly killed by Chen Yang, and the whole area was talking about it.
With some people's intentional stirring, Chen Yang was pushed to the forefront of criticism, labeled as arrogant and bloodthirsty.
At the same time, Biluo Sword Valley, together with Qingyue Valley and Windwelcome Academy, publicly expressed their strong condemnation of Chen Yang.
Chen Yang ignored all this, focused on researching the Overturning Mountain Palm.
It's undeniable the impressive power of the Overturning Mountain Palm. Earlier, when crushing Ye Hua, Chen Yang used the technique which isn't yet proficient.
Moreover, he used less than fifty percent of its power.
As night fell.
A welcoming banquet organized by Biluo Sword Valley, took place as planned.
The main event is tomorrow, today's banquet is just Biluo Sword Valley fulfilling its duties as the host.
The attendees are mostly prominent forces from the southern region, like Qingyue Valley, Southern Dipper Academy, Windwelcome Academy.
However, to everyone's surprise, Chen Yang was also invited.
Due to the large attendance, the venue was set in an open space with nearly a hundred tables arranged neatly, a grand scale.
Guests began arriving one after another.
Almost everyone instinctively looked towards the center position, which was the main table.
At that moment, at the round table sat Shen Lian and Shen Shaotian of Southern Dipper Academy, Ye Yun from Qingyue Valley, Elder Qiao Hongchang of Windwelcome Academy, and two core members of Biluo Sword Valley, all seated in order.
Only the main seat remained empty.
The scene immediately sparked a heated discussion.
"I heard Young Master Gu Jian is coming, surely the main seat is for him."
"The problem is, it seems there's no seat for Chen Yang?"
Chen Yang had not yet arrived, but the seating arrangement at the main table naturally piqued much curiosity.
If Chen Yang arrived and found he had no seat, what kind of scene would that be?
"Everyone, please wait a moment, our second senior brother will soon arrive," a steward from Biluo Sword Valley smiled calmly.
Huh?
Several people frowned, it's not Gu Jian coming?
"That's right."
The steward quickly explained, "The senior brother is entertaining guests at Sword Valley, so the second senior brother has to act on his behalf."
"Moreover, for someone like Chen Yang, it's not worthy for my senior brother to come out personally to meet him."
At this point, the Biluo Sword Valley steward named Gu Wenjie slightly raised his lips, showing an uncontrollable arrogance.
"Let's get to business."
Windwelcome Academy Elder Qiao Hongchang knocked on the table, "What exactly is the relationship between Chen Yang and Princess Ling'er?"
What happened today was enough to prove there was an unusual relationship between Chen Yang and Mu Ling'er.
So much so they couldn't help but wonder, does Chen Yang dare to go where the tigers are in Yuning Mountain because Mu Ling'er is backing him?
If that's true, it could be tricky for them.
The power of the City Lord's Mansion is not something they can confront easily.
These words made everyone look towards Gu Wenjie, even Ye Yun, closing her eyes in contemplation, opened her long eyes.
If it wasn't for Mu Ling'er.
The Valley Master of Qingyue Valley believed Chen Yang would have already become her subordinate's dead soul.
"Their relationship is no longer important."
Gu Wenjie leisurely picked up a cup of tea, smiling slightly, "Remember the honored guest I mentioned just now? With this guest here, forget Mu Ling'er, even her father doesn't dare to act rashly."
"Oh?" Qiao Hongchang raised his eyebrows, interested, "I wonder who this honored guest is?"
"Elder Qiao, you will know tomorrow."
Gu Wenjie teased, "Today, let's simply say that you shouldn't act against Chen Yang for now. Tomorrow, Senior Brother Gu Jian will kill him publicly."
"And all of you, enjoy your tea and watch, wouldn't that be exhilarating?"
"Haha..."
Qiao Hongchang laughed, "Your Biluo Sword Valley has devised a good plan."
In this way, Biluo Sword Valley not only clears its shame, but Chen Yang becomes Gu Jian's stepping stone, helping him soar, establishing his reputation, and becoming the most dazzling star in this southern region.
It truly is a win-win.
Representing Southern Dipper Academy, Shen Lian lowered his head in silence, not saying a word.
On the other side.
Chen Yang met with Chen Shuai.
He led a hundred and eight people, already dispersed in this area, able to penetrate Biluo Sword Valley tomorrow.
"Leave no one from Biluo Sword Valley alive, kill them all." Chen Yang, hands behind his back, gazed at the banquet site in the distance, speaking mildly.
"Alright."
Chen Shuai, concise in his words, nodded, then vanished into the night.
The night is the time for killing, the wind high for setting fires.
"..."
