Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Going to College [Third Update]
Li Xiaoyao erged from the room with Xiaoqing, to find several girls’ gazes circulating between the two, settling after a while exclusively on Xiaoqing.
They had the illusion that there was sothing off about Xiaoqing, but what exactly was it?
“I’m hungry.” Xiaoqing’s voice interrupted the girls’ thoughts.
The girls paused for a mont before Tang Tiantian smiled and said, “There’s food downstairs.”
Li Xiaoyao felt a bit exasperated. Just how big was Xiaoqing’s appetite? How could she be hungry again so soon?
The girls took her downstairs, with Li Xiaoyao following behind.
After going downstairs, Tang Tiantian handed a cake and so fruits to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing ate at an astonishing speed, finishing a seven-inch cake in less than five minutes and then continuing her assault on the fruit.
This terrifying speed of consumption left the girls sowhat astonished.
Zhu Xiaoyue asked, “Xiaoyao, how old is your cousin?”
“Eighteen.” Li Xiaoyao blurted out, not really knowing her age, which was probably at least over a thousand.
Zhang ng asked, “Is she in Ling City for her studies?”
“Yes, that’s right, for studying, university.” Li Xiaoyao nodded repeatedly.
“Which university is it?”
“At…” Li Xiaoyao had a flash of inspiration. Right, he could just have Xiaoqing stay at school. Since she looked so young, he just needed to pull so strings to get her enrolled in a university, which could save a lot of trouble.
“It’s at Jiangling University.” Li Xiaoyao said, “Her family had so issues, so she took a leave of absence. I’ll arrange things in a couple of days, and then she’ll go to school.”
“Jiangling University? She’s at the sa school as You De?” Tang Tiantian was sowhat surprised.
Li Xiaoyao nodded and took out his phone, saying, “I need to make a call.”
He stepped out onto the balcony and called Cheng Dongliang, asking him to arrange for Xiaoqing to start attending Jiangling University in the next few days.
Cheng Dongliang, realizing that she was Li Xiaoyao’s sister, was surprised since he knew Li Xiaoyao was an orphan, but he quickly agreed to help.
A few minutes later, Cheng Dongliang called back to inform him that everything was arranged, and Li Xiaoyao could bring Xiaoqing to the school whenever they were free in the next couple of days.
Back in the living room, Li Xiaoyao saw the girls continually talking to Xiaoqing, who only occasionally responded, revealing a significant generational gap in their conversation.
There wasn’t much that could be done, as it was unrealistic to expect a seven- or eight-year-old girl to keep up with the thoughts of grown won in their twenties.
“I’m taking Xiaoqing out for a bit, don’t wait up for us for dinner.”
Zhu Xiaoyue asked, “Where are you going?”
Without blushing or skipping a beat, Li Xiaoyao said, “To sort out enrollnt paperwork.”
Under the girls’ direct gaze, Li Xiaoyao left the house with Xiaoqing and exhaled a long breath only after getting into the elevator.
In the past, he always thought sharing the sa bed with beautiful won was an enviable and wonderful thing, but now that the day had co, he realized that having so many girls living together wasn’t necessarily a good thing at all.
After descending in the elevator, Li Xiaoyao took her to the car, noting that it was already past five o’clock.
“What is this?” Xiaoqing asked, curiously touching the seat belt, “Can this be eaten?”
“You can’t eat this; it’s not for eating.” Snatching the seat belt from her hands and fastening it properly, Li Xiaoyao handed her a bunch of herbs, saying, “Eat these for now. Once we get to the place, there will be plenty of tasty things, and you can eat your fill.”
…
Jiang Tian Number One, Ling City’s top private club, also served as Yun Feiyang’s place for private etings.
The club was eighteen stories high and included high-end accommodations, bathhouses, and an underground casino among other facilities. The top floor of the club was ho to the most luxuriously decorated sky restaurant.
The sky restaurant was entirely open-air, covering thousands of square ters, with an outdoor gym and swimming pool, completely unaffected even during rainy days.
As the number one cultivator in Ling City, Yun Feiyang spared no expense to construct a 360-degree fully transparent glass do twenty ters above the rooftop restaurant, which completely shielded against wind and rain.
Such an extravagant move was beyond the ans of ordinary people.
The banquet was scheduled to start at six o’clock this evening, right on ti.
By five forty, most of the cultivators had already arrived, and by five fifty, all the cultivators except for Li Xiaoyao were present.
The cultivators, holding wine glasses in their hands, walked back and forth in the sky-high restaurant. In addition to these cultivators, there were also female staff mbers from the venue.
The purpose of these female staff mbers was to serve the cultivators present.
Won who could enter Jiang Tian No. 1 and serve in the sky-high restaurant were perfect in both figure and face.
If a cultivator took a fancy to any of these won, they could take them straight down to a guest room for imdiate enjoynt.
Six o’clock.
Yun Feiyang stood in the center of the restaurant, holding a tall crystal glass in his left hand and a silver spoon in his right. The small spoon gently tapped the crystal glass, making a pleasing “ding ding” sound.
As Yun Feiyang tapped the crystal glass, the sound echoed throughout the sky-high restaurant, drawing all eyes to him.
“Ladies and gentlen.”
Yun Feiyang smiled slightly, radiating refined elegance, and turned his head towards the nearby staff mber to ask, “Has everyone arrived?”
The staff mber shook their head and whispered, “One person hasn’t co yet.”
“Hmm? Who?”
“Li Xiaoyao.”
Although the staff mber deliberately lowered their voice, all the attendees were cultivators with keen senses, so even the sound of a pin dropping could be clearly heard.
“Hmph, that Li Xiaoyao sure puts on airs. Yun Dao’er personally sent an invitation, yet he doesn’t show any respect.”
“That kid really is out of line. Who does he think he is?”
“It is said that this youngster once used a lightning summoning spell at the Ghost Market to kill a Condensation Realm third-layer cultivator.”
“You actually believe such rumors?”
Yun Feiyang pressed his hand down, indeed feeling so anger at Li Xiaoyao for not showing up, yet it didn’t show on his face.
“Do not be angered, my friends. Surely, Daoist Li must have been detained by important matters. Let’s begin the banquet at once. Enjoy yourselves, and when Daoist Li arrives, we can discuss the formal matters.”
Just then, a man and a woman suddenly ca in from the outside, and the staff mber stopped them, “Good evening, Sir. Please present your invitation.”
“Invitation?” Li Xiaoyao shook his head, “Didn’t bring it.”
The staff mber was at a loss, “I’m sorry, Sir, but you cannot enter without an invitation.”
With a frown, Li Xiaoyao patiently said, “I am Li Xiaoyao. Go and check if my na is on the list.”
“Your na is Li Xiaoyao?” The staff mber asked, sowhat surprised.
“Is there a problem?”
“No problem, no problem at all. Please co in.” The staff mber’s attitude changed 180 degrees, leaving Li Xiaoyao internally wondering when his na had beco so useful.
Li Xiaoyao held Xiaoqing’s tender hand, leading her straight to the neatly arranged dessert table, and said, “Eat as much as you want.”
Xiaoqing’s eyes lit up adorably, and she couldn’t wait to pinch off a piece of cake and sent it towards her mouth.
