As soon as Lulili spoke, Xiao Yun felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. He glanced at Qin Yun with concern, fearing that she might be upset by Lulili's words.
Fortunately, there was no sign of displeasure on Qin Yun's face; she simply lowered her head and took a light sip of tea.
Xiao Yun let out a quiet sigh of relief and asked Lulili, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"What can I eat? I've been so angry this afternoon. I heard Qifilan and the others say that you and that Soft Red Silk are getting along. How could I possibly eat?" Lulili replied, puffing up in annoyance.
Upon hearing the nickname Soft Red Silk, Qin Yun was taken aback. She thought to herself, how did this oddball come to Mingzhu and get involved with that Female Tyrant?
Qin Yun looked at Xiao Yun in surprise and asked, "Do you know Lu Ruanhong?"
Lu Ruanhong was not just anyone in Mingzhu; not everyone could get acquainted with her. Qin Yun wondered how Xiao Yun could possibly have any contact with her.
"Don't listen to this girl’s nonsense; how could I know her?" Xiao Yun said, shooting a glare at Lulili. "Stop talking nonsense; I'll go outside and ask the waiter to bring you more utensils!"
Seeing the nervous expression on Xiao Yun's face, Qin Yun immediately guessed that he didn't want to reveal the details of his relationship with Lu Ruanhong in front of Lulili.
As soon as Xiao Yun stepped out of the private room, Qin Yun smiled and asked Lulili, "So, Lily, do you really like your Brother Xiao?"
"Yes! Sister Yun, do you think we make a good match?" Lulili asked eagerly.
Qin Yun squinted her eyes and smiled at her, nodding as she said, "Of course you make a great match! You're a university student and so beautiful. Honestly, you're more than a perfect match for him!"
Lulili was overjoyed to hear this and asked, "Sister Yun, how did you meet Brother Xiao?"
"Oh, well..."
Qin Yun found it difficult to tell her the truth and stammered, "Once he came to Mingzhu for business, and we met by chance at an event."
This statement was almost meaningless, but fortunately, Lulili did not probe further. At that moment, Xiao Yun happened to walk in with the utensils.
With Lulili present, everyone chatted about trivial matters while eating.
Most of the conversation was between Qin Yun and Lulili. Lulili appeared very excited, joking around; after all, sitting together with the Beautiful Hall Master of the Provincial Procuratorate was something unimaginable for ordinary people.
Qin Yun gave her phone number to Lulili and said, "Lulili, whenever you have a weekend off from school, come over to my house. I'll cook for you. We can live together!"
"Really? I'm so excited! Sister Yun, I really like you!" Lulili beamed with happiness.
Lulili never expected to meet the Beautiful Hall Master here, and that this Beautiful Hall Master would treat her like a sister. How could she not be excited? Her face lit up like a blooming flower, completely forgetting about Xiao Yun and Soft Red Silk.
After hearing Lulili's words, Xiao Yun couldn't help but grumble internally, "Hmph, you little brat! Do you know that I like Sister Yun even more than you do? If it weren't for you barging in as a third party, maybe at this very moment, I could have had something happen with Sister Yun."
Watching the Second Girl chat happily, Master Xiao felt he couldn't get a word in edgewise. He sat there with a frown, silently drinking. Qin Yun caught a glimpse of his conflicted expression and secretly felt amused. She knew exactly how he felt.
The meal quickly came to an end amidst Master Xiao's boredom.
After settling the bill, Qin Yun said to Xiao Yun, "You should rest early. I need to head back," then turned to Lulili and said, "Lulili, I drove here. Let me give you a ride to school!"
Hearing that the Beautiful Hall Master would personally drive her, Lulili was overjoyed and kept nodding her head, saying, "Okay! Thank you, Sister Yun!"
After watching the Second Girl leave, Xiao Yun returned to his room feeling utterly frustrated.
If it weren't for Lulili interrupting things, tonight could have been much more exciting. Sigh... this little girl has ruined everything.
After finishing his shower and laundry, Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate for a while before lying down, preparing to close his eyes and sleep early.
"Master, there's a call..." At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Xiao Yun lazily picked up the phone, but when he saw the number, he immediately sat up from the bed.
"Sister Yun, are you home?" Xiao Yun asked.
Qin Yun replied with a smile, "Not yet. I just dropped Lulili off at school. Have you rested?"
"Not yet," Xiao Yun said.
"Alright, I'll be there soon!" Qin Yun responded.
"Ah..." The sudden surprise left Xiao Yun momentarily speechless.
"What? Aren't you welcoming me?"
"No, no, no! Of course I welcome you, Sister Yun..."
"Wait for me!"
Qin Yun hung up the phone, and Xiao Yun jumped off the bed in excitement, feeling like he could do a somersault on the floor.
It seemed that the Beautiful Hall Master had noticed his awkward situation with Lulili present and had specifically taken her back to school before making a quick return.
Hehe, there’s definitely something intriguing about this; anyone could guess what it is—you know what I mean.
Master Xiao's heart began to race; it looked like there would be some excitement tonight.
Bang bang bang!
A series of knocks echoed from the door.
Uh, could they really arrive this quickly?
Xiao Yun hurried over to open the door, and upon seeing the person standing outside, he was momentarily taken aback.
Standing outside was a tall young man, followed by two intimidating henchmen.
How could he tell at a glance that they were henchmen? Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense was impressive; he immediately noticed the distinct Qi Mechanism emanating from the two men.
From their Qi Mechanism, Xiao Yun not only discerned that they were skilled fighters but also that their abilities were certainly above those of the Hang Brothers, including the Sky Valley Trio that Orchid Daoist had brought along.
However, those two henchmen looked somewhat unusual; they were both robustly built, with muscular arms and broad waists. One had a crooked mouth, while the other had a flattened nose. This was somewhat reminiscent of the Sky Valley Trio—one was as thin as a bamboo pole, another as round as a barrel, and the last one resembled a human but was missing a leg.
Could it be that everyone from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect was born deformed?
The tall young man had quite a distinctive appearance: fair skin, a square face, sword-like eyebrows, large eyes, and a straight nose with a square jaw. The only flaw was a large black mole with hair on his right cheek, which marred his otherwise ruggedly handsome face, making it look like an unsightly fly stuck on a clean white wall.
When these three gathered together, they resembled the Sky Valley Trio in how they appeared to have been deliberately chosen by the Heavens to showcase their unusual looks.
The young man wore an unfriendly expression, and when his eyes fixed on Xiao Yun, it felt as if he were about to devour him.
Strangely enough, this young man possessed an extraordinary Bone structure; yet in Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense, there wasn't a trace of Qi Mechanism to be found on him.
Logically speaking, only dead people would lack Qi Mechanism.
This...
What is going on here?
Of course, there are some people who can hide their Qi Mechanism, but they are definitely top-tier experts.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiao Yun asked in surprise as he tidied up after the young man.
The young man led the two individuals into the room, sneered, and said, "We're looking for you. You must be Xiao Yun, right?"
Xiao Yun was taken aback. How did this guy know my name?
He nodded and replied, "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the young man's brows furrowed, his eyes gleaming with menace as he coldly asked, "Tell me, what is your relationship with Qin Yun?"
Not quite understanding the visitor's intentions, Xiao Yun pretended to be confused and asked in return, "Who is Qin Yun?"
"The woman you had dinner with tonight!" the young man said with an annoyed expression.
"Oh," Xiao Yun scratched his head and smiled, "I had dinner with two women; I don't know which one you're referring to."
The young man's nose crinkled in anger; he could tell that the person in front of him was deliberately playing dumb.
"Young Master Bai, stop wasting time with him. This kid came from the Galactic District and dares to compete with you for a woman; he clearly wants to die. Let's take care of him!" said the crooked-mouthed thug behind him impatiently.
Young Master Bai?
It seemed this young man was either a rich second generation or a government official's son.
Nowadays, some privileged kids like to be addressed as "Young Master," as if not being called that would diminish their status and make them seem less distinguished.
But this Young Master Bai seemed different from the rest. Xiao Yun could not sense any hint of frivolity typical of a wealthy young master in him. Although his words carried an air of dominance, it was not the kind that was off-putting.
Strangely enough, even Xiao Yun could not figure out why he felt a sense of closeness to this Young Master Bai, as if they had been sworn brothers in a past life and were now meeting by chance in this one.
"Don't, please," Xiao Yun feigned fear. "A gentleman uses words, not violence. If there's something to discuss, I wonder what teachings Young Master Bai has for me?"
Unexpectedly, Young Master Bai shot him a disdainful glare and said, "Xiao Yun, you really know how to put on a show. But let me warn you, Qin Yun is my junior sister and also the sacred goddess in my heart. You'd better not touch her lightly or stay far away from her!"
Qin Yun is his junior sister?
Xiao Yun knew that Qin Yun's master was her current grandfather.
Qin Yun's real name is Long Yun. During the decade of turmoil, she and her sister Long Yan were adopted by Old Man Qin, who had secluded himself from Shaolin Temple in Jiangnan Province, and he taught them martial arts. Old Man Qin's skills were profound and hidden; he was also an exceptional painter and later became a renowned art professor at Mingzhu University.
Xiao Yun had heard all this from Tang Guoqiang and Qin Yun, but he had never heard that she had an older brother—who was now standing in front of him as Young Master Bai.
Looking at Young Master Bai's age, he seemed much younger than Qin Yun. How could he be her senior?
After hearing Young Master Bai's warning, anger surged within Xiao Yun. He had always preferred soft approaches over hard ones and thought to himself that even if he was Sister Yun's senior brother, she was still his woman.
Thinking this, he coldly smiled and said, "What if I want to touch her?"
A flash of killing intent quickly crossed Young Master Bai's eyes as he spoke frostily, "No matter who you are, I will make sure you have no place to be buried!"
At this point, Young Master Bai's Spiritual Sense suddenly changed as if he were genuinely frightened. He turned to the two people behind him and said, "Uh, Sister Yun is coming! We should leave quickly!"
The Sister Yun he referred to was naturally Qin Yun. What surprised Xiao Yun was that this Young Master Bai seemed to possess Spiritual Sense as well; before Qin Yun even appeared, he had already sensed her presence?
As the two henchmen were seething with anger and itching to give Xiao Yun a good beating, they exchanged a helpless glance after hearing Young Master Bai's words. They immediately lowered their heads respectfully and said in unison, "Yes, Young Master Bai!"
What surprised Xiao Yun even more was that the three of them did not leave his room. Young Master Bai waved his hand, and a surge of Qi Jin shot out—
With a whoosh, the glass window beside the bedside cabinet seemed to be opened by an invisible hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three of them transformed into afterimages and flew out through the window.
From the moment the window opened to when the three of them disappeared through it, it took only a breath's time.
The speed of their movements was so astonishing that it left one's mind unable to react.
Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense tracked them, leaving him utterly shocked.
A scene that could only appear in films and television suddenly flashed before his eyes:
In the night sky, the three of them were actually flying on swords.
They stood together on a single sword, streaking across the sky like shooting stars beneath the vast expanse.
