Outsider, leave it to him?
Xiao Tianyu's words left everyone speechless. At this point, how could he still brag? Those are the Four Great Institutes, not so cat or dog. The Imperial Capital stands on five mighty pillars, with each of the Five Great Institutes governing their own realm.
Even if Xiao Tianyu is the acting president of the Emperor Star Academy, it seems he wouldn't openly provoke the Four Great Institutes. After all, that could make the Emperor Star Academy a target of ridicule. Besides, Xiao Tianyu isn't even the acting president of the Emperor Star Academy.
The gazes of all the goddesses fell upon Xiao Tianyu. No one could have thought that, even at this mont, Xiao Tianyu would continue to boast. Is it because talk is cheap when you're not the one affected? We're in pain, damn it!
At this mont, even Long Xiaoyun was surprised that Xiao Tianyu could say such words.
Long Xiaoyun said, "Tianyu, I know your talent is terrifying, perhaps even comparable to the Saint Children of the institutes. However, tomorrow's matter cannot be resolved just by having good talent; it depends on fists. You should take them and leave!"
Long Xiaoyun didn't want to implicate Xiao Tianyu, nor did he want Long Ling'Er to risk danger. So, he wanted to entrust Long Ling'Er to Xiao Tianyu, letting him take her away from the Long Family, as far away as possible, preferably to join the Emperor Star Academy.
"Going to sleep!" Xiao Tianyu unexpectedly uttered, "Wife, let's go to bed!"
Going to sleep?
Still going to sleep?
Who the hell wants to sleep with you? Damn it, after what you did to
last night, there's no way I'm sleeping with you tonight.
Hence, Shangguan Biyue's heart trembled as she said to Xiao Tianyu: "Tianyu, tonight... tonight I've decided to sit outside and count the stars... so I won't be sleeping. You go ahead and sleep... Hey, hey, Tianyu, I said I won't sleep, why are you dragging ? Let's talk this over, don't get rough, and especially not with so many people watching!"
Shangguan Biyue was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Xiao Tianyu to be so shaless, trying to drag her into another courtyard in front of everyone. How could he be so thick-skinned?
"Old man, good night!" Xiao Tianyu said to Long Xiaoyun.
However, just as Long Xiaoyun was about to say sothing, he saw Xiao Tianyu dragging Shangguan Biyue away.
Xiao Ziyan smiled lightly, "Second brother, are you in a hurry for
to hold a big nephew? If that's the case, work hard tonight!"
"..." These words left many speechless. Are all the young girls these days really this mature?
...
The next morning.
Today, the Long Family is destined for unrest.
Early in the morning, the Long Family is already surrounded by lords from all directions, the atmosphere tense. Even powerful figures from the other nine noble families of the Imperial Capital have arrived, and all are led by clan leaders.
The Long Family is one of the ten noble families of the Imperial Capital. Now that the Long Family is undergoing great change, how could the other families just sit back? They all want to witness the downfall of the Long Family, and perhaps even seize the opportunity to devour it.
At this mont, at the myriad steps outside the grand hall of the Long Family, a group of people stood with extraordinary aura and arrogance, with sharp, defined faces all revealing cold smiles.
The thousand-year foundation of the Long Family is undergoing reform; how could they not co to watch the spectacle?
To them, the Long Family seems already in a precarious state, ready to change hands at any mont. Moreover, rumors have spread that today is the day Long Xiaoyun reaches the end of his life.
"The Qianshan Clan and Fengyun Clan have brought their people to pay respects to the Long Clan Leader!"
At this mont, a voice echoed through the myriad steps, shaking the heavens. All eyes lifted to see a procession stepping towards the grand hall, causing the hearts of the Long Family disciples to tremble.
The Qianshan and Fengyun Clans are both among the ten noble families of the Imperial Capital, with imasurable heritage. Their arrival now clearly harbors ill intentions, like a weasel wishing the chicken a new year's greeting, especially since the leaders of both clans are leading the group.
Before long, another voice ca: "The Qianmo Family and Gongsun Family have arrived to pay respects!"
"The Li Clan has co to pay respects!"
"The Zhan Family has co to pay respects to Clan Leader Long Xiaoyun!"
"..."
Voices echoed one after another like thunder, each carrying terrifying pressure, clearly indicating that the visitors are formidable figures of the Saint Heaven Realm.
"Please!"
At this mont, a voice ca from within the chamber, inviting everyone into the grand hall. Inside, Long Xiaoyun carefully leaning on a Dragon Staff startled many. Even using a cane, it seems the rumors are true—his ti is indeed up.
Seated at the topmost position, Long Xiaoyun spoke, "Prepare the banquet!"
As soon as these words fell, dishes of exquisite delicacies were placed before the tables of each clan leader. Regardless of their reasons for coming, Long Xiaoyun would not neglect them.
"We heard Brother Xiaoyun is unwell, so we ca to observe. I trust you won't mind our visit, Brother Xiaoyun!" said the Qianshan Clan Leader with a smile.
"Why would I mind? For you all to co to my Long Family at this mont truly honors ," Long Xiaoyun replied in a hearty voice, possessing substantial aura. Though he leaned on a Dragon Staff, looking frail, his authority remained unfathomable.
"Brother Xiaoyun has a straightforward nature and grand ambitions; it seems true indeed. If that's the case, we won't be reserved!" the Fengyun Clan Leader declared commandingly as the group took their seats.
Furthermore, several youths sat beside them, clearly the most outstanding disciples of each noble family.
Especially the young man behind the Fengyun Clan Leader, with an attractive and slightly arrogant visage, bore resemblance to the Clan Leader. This was none other than Fengyun He, the Young Clan Leader of the Fengyun Clan.
Opposite Fengyun He, from the direction of the Qianmo Family, was a woman known as the gifted daughter of the Qianmo Family, Qianmo Lanshan.
Fengyun He paused, a glimr in his eyes, taken by the halo of beauty that surrounded Qianmo Lanshan, whose allure was unmatched, a tiless beauty despite not reaching the renown of the Four Great Goddesses.
Both Fengyun He and Qianmo Lanshan are disciples of the Five Great Institutes, though not the sa one. Today, they ca to see Long Ao, with even a veiled intent of competing with him.
However, they didn't know that Long Ao had already died yesterday.
"First Elder Long Cangjue, Second Elder Long Yuan, Third Elder Long Hao, Fourth Elder Long Zhennan... Eighth Elder Long Ting, have co to pay respects to the Clan Leader!" At this mont, voices echoed into the hall again.
Soon, a procession entered from outside the hall, and in that instant, powerful auras filled the place, causing the experts from other noble families to frown. Was this a visit or retaliation?
It seems a grand show is about to unfold at the Long Family today.
"Sit!" Long Xiaoyun waved, seating the elders.
At this ti, Fengyun He stood and addressed Long Cangjue, "Uncle Long, how are you?"
