You Two Definitely Have Something Going On!

The moment Song Yunshu and the old man stepped into the Xiao clan's domain, they caused quite a stir. Many Xiao disciples stood rooted to the spot, their eyes glued to Song Yunshu as she walked gracefully past. Swallowing hard, one murmured, "Who is she?" "When did the Shenbao Domain get a beauty like this...?" "I can't take it... I feel like she's stolen my very soul." "Bullshit! Two days ago you were saying Sister Qing'er stole your soul!" More and more Xiao disciples flew over, but Song Yunshu had long since grown accustomed to such gazes. A faint smile played across her face as she flew leisurely toward the distant private courtyard. Li Guanqi set down his wine cup, his eyes narrowing slightly. Looking at Xiao Chen beside him, he murmured, "Tsk, tsk... a powerhouse has arrived. "Come on, Fourth Brother. Come out with me to welcome them." Xiao Chen blinked in surprise. He hadn't felt anyone else's presence at all. Within his senses, there was only the aura of a single woman whose cultivation wasn't particularly formidable. Out in the sky above, a young Xiao disciple in the late Nascent Soul realm was gazing intently at Song Yunshu. His chest heaved slightly, and after letting out a long breath as though making up his mind, he strode out from the crowd of onlookers. The youth was tall and could certainly be considered dashing. Wearing a smile he thought was incomparably charming, he stepped forward with broad strides, immediately prompting catcalls and cheers from the surrounding crowd. "Oho, Xiao Rongshu's got guts today, huh?" "Hahaha, good luck! Keep her here!" Song Yunshu paused, looking at the youth with an enigmatic smile. "Can I help you?" Xiao Rongshu's palms were sweating with nervousness. Looking at the woman standing just before him, he took a deep breath and declared loudly, "I am Xiao Rongshu of the Xiao clan. May I ask the lady's fair name?" "Ooooh! Ask her out! What good is just asking for her name?" "Haha, who would've thought even the calm and collected Xiao Rongshu could have such an awkward day!" The clamor of teasing from all sides turned the young man's face bright red. Yet just as he felt utterly mortified and ready to flee, the woman parted her pearl-white teeth and spoke in a clear, melodious voice. "Song Yunshu." Hearing her answer him, the youth's heart leapt with joy. He looked up at her breathtaking face, hardly daring to meet her gaze directly. Just as he summoned his courage to say something more, Song Yunshu raised a slender finger to her lips, and her alluring smile instantly blossomed. Her autumn-water eyes gazed past him, looking toward what lay behind him. The young man turned around blankly, following her line of sight. Two white-clad figures were strolling over through the distant sky. One was the current Xiao Clan Head, Xiao Chen. The other was a handsome man with a slight smirk playing on his lips, purely white eyes, and black hair casually bound with a cord. The moment Li Guanqi appeared, the previously noisy sky fell completely silent, as if everyone had been grabbed by the throat at once! Whether Xiao disciples or Xiao elders, every single person turned toward the pair, bowing and cupping their fists in salute. "Greetings, Clan Head! Greetings, Lord Sword Venerable!" "..." Their voices rang out together, every face dead serious. This was the awe and authority Li Guanqi had carved out through slaughter! Song Yunshu stood where she was, her gaze toward Li Guanqi so tender it looked ready to drip like water. Seeing how Li Guanqi looked now, she actually brought her hands together in front of her, ducking her head coyly while glancing up at him. Catching sight of this, the youth who had earlier gathered all his courage to step forward looked terribly crestfallen. But the moment he realized whom she had eyes for, whatever reluctance and defiance he held vanished into thin air... He couldn't muster even the slightest thought of competing against that man. Li Guanqi led Xiao Chen before the two visitors and first greeted Song Yunshu with a smile. "Long time no see." Song Yunshu gave him a plaintive look and said softly, "Indeed... long time no see. Though it seems to me... someone has already forgotten about me." Beside him, Xiao Chen shot Li Guanqi a sharp glare and sent a frosty voice transmission. "Li, you certainly rack up plenty of romantic debts whenever you're out and about, don't you?! Is it because Wanshu went into seclusion that you've started letting yourself run wild?" Li Guanqi glanced at Xiao Chen, whose teeth were practically grinding, and replied without batting an eyelid, "Fourth Brother's skin seems a little tight lately. Who do you think you're talking to?" Xiao Chen replied with unyielding bravado, "If it's tight, loosen it! Big deal! But the moment Wanshu comes out, I'm definitely telling on you for flirting around out here!" The corner of Li Guanqi's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected this fellow to be so relentless! "Cut the crap. There's nothing between us—we've only met once." Xiao Chen lowered his brow, his eyes brimming with sheer disbelief. Curling his lip, he said, "I'd be a dog if I believed you." Song Yunshu pursed her lips and stared straight at the two of them, finally unable to hold back. "I'm still right here, you know! What could you two possibly have to whisper about in each other's ears right in front of me?!" Li Guanqi smiled, then turned to the black-robed elder behind her. He bowed alongside Xiao Chen and said, "Junior Li Guanqi. May I ask how to address Senior?" "Junior Xiao Chen." From the very start, Li Guanqi had noticed the old man's gaze sizing him up repeatedly. The old man answered in a flat voice, "My surname is Tu." Hearing this, Li Guanqi straightened up with a smile. "Senior Tu, Lady Song, let us speak inside." Li Guanqi stepped ahead and gestured for the two to follow. Song Yunshu naturally fell into step right beside him, and her jade-like hands even moved to take his arm. Startled, Li Guanqi immediately took a wide step sideways. Behind them, Xiao Chen wore an unmistakable 'See? Look at that!' expression, glaring daggers at Li Guanqi. "Lady, please conduct yourself with propriety!" Song Yunshu was thoroughly exasperated inside. Glancing at Xiao Chen, her eyes suddenly darted with mischief. Wearing a wounded expression full of sorrow, she sighed, "Ah... that night at the Star-Plucking Tower, you weren't treating me like this..." Li Guanqi's face instantly looked as sour as if he had swallowed a fly. Feeling a sudden chill rise up his back, he turned to Xiao Chen and said with utter solemnity, "If I tell you... it really isn't what you think, and absolutely nothing happened between us, would you believe me? ...All right, it looks like you don't." *Bang!!* Li Guanqi blurred into motion, snapping a side kick right into Xiao Chen's waist that sent him flying into the distance, sending a voice transmission after him: "We have business to discuss. Go take care of your own matters first!" Xiao Chen, who had still been glaring at Li Guanqi, suddenly saw his vision blur before a tremendous force slammed into his side! The world rushed backward around him at breakneck speed, and he bellowed at the top of his lungs, "There's something! You two definitely have something going on!"
