304: Chapter 303 Impending Storm 304: Chapter 303 Impending Storm Tangyu had always thought that won looked quite attractive in ancient costus, especially so who were even more suited to them.
The woman before him undoubtedly proved this point.
Although her face wasn’t extraordinarily stunning or enchanting, she wasn’t much less attractive than Guo Momo, but what was most captivating was the charming, almost fairy-like aura about her face.
Of course, that’s not to say she had the temperant of a fairy, but rather a sort of refreshing presence.
Dressed in ancient garb, she seed as though she had stepped right out of an ancient painting.
However, wrapped in these ancient clothes, her figure was not revealed, which might be sowhat disappointing to modern n.
“Master Sun, may I have the honor of asking you to let bygones be bygones today?
Fairy Palace only hosts one Fairy Gathering a month, and with today being the main eting of the quarter, surely Master Sun wouldn’t refuse this favor,” the beauty said with a smile, her tone a mix of ingratiation and firmness.
Sun Wukong glanced at Tangyu and smiled lightly, “Is this what Xi Shi wants?”
“Today is the Fairy Gathering, I hope Master Sun will do us the honor,” the woman in ancient costu replied, neither confirming nor denying.
It was then that Tangyu realized that this woman in ancient costu was not Xi Shi, the owner of Fairy Palace.
He had been wondering, wasn’t Xi Shi known for her reclusiveness?
“Fine, since that’s the case, let’s leave today’s matter as it is,” Sun Wukong said.
After finishing, he turned to Tangyu with a cool smile, “Rember what I said earlier, it’s eternally valid.”
“I’ll hold you to it,” Tangyu responded with four words.
With a flick of his hand, Sun Wukong led his entourage away, and the conflict subsided.
The power of Fairy Palace was astonishing yet again.
Even the arrogant Sun Wukong held such wariness towards Xi Shi of Fairy Palace that a re word from her could make him retreat.
“Thank you,” Tangyu said to the woman in the ancient costu.
The woman in ancient costu smiled at Tangyu, “There’s no need for thanks.
Guests are to be respected and since you have co to Fairy Palace, you are our guests.
We couldn’t just watch our guests being bullied.
Now, go on and enjoy yourselves, and do visit us when you have the ti.” With that, the woman in the ancient costu left.
Tangyu was puzzled; ‘being bullied’ gave him another reading.
It ant the woman in the ancient costu was on his side, acting on Xi Shi’s intentions.
Does that an Xi Shi was helping him?
But he didn’t even know Xi Shi.
Tangyu wasn’t naive enough to think that Xi Shi intervened because she disliked Sun Wukong’s arrogance.
People from high society wouldn’t easily offend one person for the sake of another, especially not soone like the arrogant Sun Wukong.
Guo Momo too was thoughtful and asked, “Tangyu, do you know Xi Shi?”
“I only heard of her from you just now.
How could I possibly know her?” Tangyu shook his head.
“Then do you know Diao Chan?” Guo Momo continued to inquire.
“Diao Chan?
Who is that, the Diao Chan from the Three Kingdoms era?” Tangyu asked in confusion, wondering why she would ntion an ancient figure.
“The woman just now was Diao Chan.
Whether that’s her real na, I don’t know, but that’s what everyone calls her.
Xi Shi usually doesn’t show herself, just commands respect from behind the scenes.
When there’s sothing to be done or an event at Fairy Palace, it’s usually Diao Chan who takes care of it.
Therefore, Diao Chan is Xi Shi’s spokesperson, and her every word and deed essentially express Xi Shi’s intentions.
That’s why Sun Wukong asked if it was Xi Shi’s idea.
I thought you knew Xi Shi, so she sent Diao Chan to diate for you.
Since you’re not acquainted, it’s strange.
It was clear when Diao Chan left that she was acting on Xi Shi’s orders to help you.
It’s odd that such a trivial matter would disturb Xi Shi,” Guo Momo said with a puzzled expression.
Lin Feifei and Zhao Yaya, who weren’t very familiar with the situation at Fairy Palace, simply listened in bewildernt.
Shrugging his shoulders, Tangyu said, “Then I have no idea.
Maybe it’s because I have good character, or perhaps because I’m handso.”
Guo Momo rolled her eyes at Tangyu without any good humor, as if to say, if you’re so handso to catch Xi Shi’s eye, that would indeed be strange.
In a secluded private room within Fairy Palace, one wall housed a massive screen, which displayed scenes from the venue below.
Anyone sitting in front of this screen could see everything happening downstairs.
At that mont, in front of the screen, a figure was sitting on a sofa.
The light was too dim to see her body clearly, revealing just a small portion of her face.
But even this small glimpse was enough to startle.
Beautiful—so beautiful that, at a glance, any man might be srized, at a loss for words to describe her beauty.
As the saying goes, “Such lodies are supposed to exist only in heaven, rarely heard by mortals.”
Standing behind her was a woman in ancient costu—Diao Chan—who stood there with utmost respect, like a humble maidservant.
“Really self-indulgent.
Sister, I don’t understand why you would help him,” Diao Chan said, looking at the screen.
With a light and serene laugh, Xi Shi replied, “Seeing him made think of soone.”
“Who?” Diao Chan asked, puzzled.
“Huangfu Qing left,” Xi Shi uttered four words lightly.
“What, Huangfu Qingyun?” Diao Chan was imdiately surprised, one of the Five Young Masters of Donglin, Huangfu Qingyun.
“That’s right, his gaze and the pride inherent in his bones are very similar to Huangfu Qingyun’s,” Xi Shi said.
“What’s the use of just having that?
Without status, background, or strength, relying solely on a few won, he won’t achieve anything significant.
Given Sun Wukong’s character, he’s probably already laid out his plans outside.
Whether he can leave here unscathed today is still an unknown,” Diao Chan objectively remarked.
However, Xi Shi just smiled and shook her head, “Not necessarily.
I think Sun Wukong might fall into his hands.
Although objectively speaking, he doesn’t stand a chance at all.
Zhao family’s girl can make Sun Wukong sowhat wary, but after all, she is just a little girl and won’t make much of a difference.
Even if that little Zhao girl calls over Zhao Wangxu from her Zhao family, at most she can only help him escape once, she can’t protect him every day.
As for the Guo family and Lin family, no need to ntion them, they are females, and moreover, their families do not have n who can contend with Sun Wukong, so their strength can be directly ignored.”
“Sister, if that’s the case, do you still think Sun Wukong will be defeated?” Diao Chan was even more puzzled.
“Hehe, objectively that’s true, but a truly formidable man can break conventions and do the unexpected.
I believe Tangyu is such a person.
Just wait and see, I don’t know why, but I have a premonition that he might join the battle of Donglin City and perhaps even take the title of one of the Five Young Masters of Donglin,” Xi Shi finally smiled.
“Sister, I trust your judgnt, but I still think you’re overestimating him.
He’s always been inconspicuous.
Sister, shouldn’t we check his background?” Diao Chan shook her head and suggested.
Xi Shi waved her hand, “No need, I believe his fa will rise soon enough.
Donglin City has been quiet for too long, I always feel a change is coming soon.”
Guo Momo shook her head and sighed softly, “Tangyu, you were too impulsive just now.
If you hadn’t made a move, things wouldn’t have turned out so bad.
Sun Wukong is known as the ‘Mad Young Master,’ which shows he’s extrely tough to deal with.
From his words earlier, one can tell he’s the type to hold grudges.
The imdiate crisis may have been averted, but this matter is certainly not over.
Sun Wukong will definitely co after you.”
“What should I do, Momo sister?
Shall I call my dad?” Lin Feifei asked worriedly.
“Don’t be afraid, good brother.
If he dares to bully you, I’ll have my brother Wang Xu beat him up,” Zhao Yaya said innocently.
Guo Momo shook her head, “Talking to your dad won’t help, this is after all a matter among young people.
If it really escalates to your dad, it won’t be easy to resolve.
Besides, the Sun family might not give face to your dad.
Sun Wukong is the current spokesperson for the Sun family and essentially represents them in his actions, which is why he doesn’t take anyone seriously.”
“Then what do we do?” Lin Feifei asked, her face turning red with urgency.
Tangyu smiled lightly and said, “Why are you all so anxious when I’m not?
A storm is coming, what do I have to fear?
I’ll et soldiers with strategy and stem water with earth.
I don’t provoke others, but if others provoke , I will not back down.
I don’t believe his fists are definitely bigger than mine.
Don’t worry, if he wants to touch , he might not have the capability.”
Guo Momo looked at Tangyu, her heart sowhat moved by his words.
Tangyu always seed to bring about miracles, always managed to do the unexpected.
Maybe he could indeed handle Sun Wukong’s revenge.
Guo Momo patted Lin Feifei’s shoulder, indicating she should not worry.
One issue with the Zhou family wasn’t resolved yet, and now a more domineering Sun family had appeared, giving Tangyu a bit of a headache.
This ti, it seed another protracted and tough battle was in store.
He had also beco involved in the murky waters of Donglin City.
But perhaps this was for the best, for without breaking into this circle, it would be difficult to investigate which power Yin dical Sect truly controlled.
Since Yin dical Sect had shown themselves in Donglin City, they would surely rely on a major power.
“Aside from plenty of beauties, there’s nothing interesting here, and no entertainnt,” Tangyu said, not knowing what else to do there except for drinking and observing the beauties.
“Whether it’s fun or not, it’s just a gathering for renowned won, where friends can chat together.
We just don’t want to join their conversations, the topics they discuss are not sothing we want to listen to, so we just sit here and play casually,” Guo Momo explained.
“Right, it’s not fun at all.
I thought it would be enjoyable here; I even wore the dress I set for my birthday, such a big loss,” Zhao Yaya complained, as if she had already thrown the earlier incident to the back of her mind.
“If that’s the case, then we should go back early,” Tangyu suggested.
“Okay, let’s go back then,” Guo Momo agreed, nodding her head, but she was a bit worried because she knew that Sun Wukong was most likely waiting outside.
“Are we just going to go out like this?” Lin Feifei asked anxiously.
“Of course, we’ll just go out.
Are we afraid that Sun Wukong can eat us?
You think he’s Sun Wukong?
Even if he were Sun Wukong, I would crush him with one palm,” Tangyu said nonchalantly, yet his heart ward at the sight of Guo Momo and Lin Feifei’s concern for him.
If there was a chance, he would have to take Lin Feifei into his care soon.
“Hehe, if he is Sun Wukong, then good brother, you are The Buddha, squash him,” Zhao Yaya said, laughing.
Guo Momo shook her head and said, “Alright, let’s go.”
Watching the four leave, the renowned won began to chatter amongst themselves, many of them feeling pity for Tangyu, for it was rare to find anyone who dared to stand up to Sun Wukong like that.
It was a pity he wouldn’t be able to enjoy his luck with the ladies.
