Chapter 35

In a single day, this sentence spread to every corner of Nanhua Cheng.

The feat of over a thousand people shouting in unison on Qixia Mountain also became a hot topic in Nanhua Cheng, discussed with relish on every street corner.

Fairy Yunxi gained millions of fans in one day.

At the same time, a daring boy in plain clothes also made the headlines because of this.

Who is he?

People asked each other.

Who could he be?

People speculated one after another.

Some busybodies had already formed a human-flesh search team, starting to scour the world for this flash-in-the-pan god-like man.

And at this very moment, the instigator of this event was sitting in the "Jinli" private room on the second floor of Lingwei Tower, eating and drinking to his heart's content.

"Come, Brother Xingyu, let me toast you again." The little fatty Zhu Dafu wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and picked up his wine cup again.

Zhang Xingyu glared at him: "Little Fatty Zhu, which cup is this? With all that fat on you, if you get drunk later, who's going to carry you?"

"I won't get drunk, absolutely not. As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too few when meeting a soulmate, and half a sentence is too much when words don't match. Brother Xingyu, you are my soulmate. No, you are my idol." There was starlight flickering in the little fatty's eyes.

"Brother Xingyu, I've decided, from now on I'm following you. This cup of wine, I'll finish it first as a sign of respect!" He raised his hand and downed the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Because he drank too quickly, the wine went down his throat, making him cough repeatedly.

"If you can't drink, don't show off." Jin Muyun cherished his brother-in-law and quickly poured him a cup of tea.

The little fatty gulped down the tea, only then feeling much more comfortable.

"Xingyu, what exactly happened on Qixia Mountain yesterday? It's spreading like wildfire all over the city that over a thousand people on the mountain shouted in unison, 'Fairy Yunxi, I like you.'" Jin Muyun's gossip instinct kicked in, and he immediately asked.

"Let me tell this story." Before Zhang Xingyu could answer, Zhu Dafu, having caught his breath, spoke first.

"This matter starts from when we went to the food street behind the Immortal Academy to look around. So, that day..., and then..., and later..., that's how it happened." The little fatty rambled on, adding his own embellishments for half an hour before finally making the sequence of events clear.

"Xingyu, it was actually you who did this?" Jin Muyun felt it was unbelievable after hearing it.

"And me, and me." The little fatty shouted from the side.

Jin Muyun glared at him: "I'll talk to you later."

Then, he looked at Zhang Xingyu again for a long time before saying softly: "Xingyu, I always thought you were a steady and cautious person; I never expected you to have such impulsive moments."

Zhang Xingyu scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hehe, with a beauty in front and gold coins in front, it would be a disservice to myself not to be impulsive. Besides, I estimated at the time that as long as I didn't excessively annoy those guards, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"That's still not okay. Do you know how dangerous it was for you to do that at the time? If any of the guards had taken action, whether your life would still be here would be a question mark." Hu Siping scolded Zhang Xingyu, but his face was full of concern.

At the same time, inside the Immortal Academy, in a courtyard.

Long Xiaotian was loudly scolding the few lackeys in front of him.

"Trash, you are simply a bunch of trash. Four of you went, yet you couldn't even handle two half-grown boys, and you even made me lose two hundred thousand gold coins for nothing. Two hundred thousand gold coins, that's two hundred low-grade spirit stones. Tell me, besides eating for free, what else can I expect you to do?"

Standing in a row in front of him were four people. All four of them hung their heads, not daring to let out a breath.

These four guys being scolded were exactly the youth in purple, the youth in white, the youth in green, and the poetic youth who had paid Zhang Xingyu to provoke the guards on Qixia Mountain yesterday.

After scolding them for half an hour with spit flying everywhere, Long Xiaotian felt a bit tired and sat down on a stone bench in the middle of the courtyard.

Seeing that he had stopped scolding, the four who were scolded dared to look up secretly. The man in green with the bump on his forehead weakly defended himself: "Young Master Long, in my opinion, it was mostly likely someone who leaked the news, and those two boys were on guard, which is why the plan failed. Last night, I wanted to take advantage of the darkness and the dangerous road to knock that country boy off the cliff. Who knew that before I even touched him, he dodged to the side, causing me to slam headfirst into a rock by the road. Look, this bump on my head, ouch."

It would have been better if he hadn't defended himself. Upon hearing his defense, the anger in Long Xiaotian's chest, which had already subsided, flared up again.

"Trash, it's because you're stupid, and you dare to blame others. Besides you, only I and Xinxin knew about this matter. Are you implying that we leaked the news?" Long Xiaotian roared.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." The man in green quickly explained.

"If it wasn't us, then it was you. You're just stupid." Long Xiaotian pointed at him and cursed.

The other three saw Long Xiaotian's anger rising again and quickly buried their heads in their knees again, knowing better.

"Idiots, trash."

Long Xiaotian kept spitting.

After scolding for another half hour, he was a bit parched and finally stopped. The poetic youth, who had been standing to the side with his head down, quickly picked up the teacup on the table and handed it over.

Long Xiaotian drank a few sips of tea and then continued to spit.

"And you, Shao Ke, you usually brag about being the reincarnation of a fox, the craftiest of all, why did the idea you came up with this time not work? Not only did you fail to get rid of that country boy, but you also made me lose two hundred thousand gold coins for nothing."

Seeing Long Xiaotian turn his focus to him, the poetic youth quickly explained in a low voice.

"Young Master Long, it's not that my idea wasn't good, it's just that the kid is too cautious and too cunning. If it had been the little fatty beside him, he definitely would have fallen for our trap."

Long Xiaotian didn't listen to his explanation: "Don't always blame your failures on the enemy. If your idea didn't work, it just didn't work."

"Yes, yes, my idea didn't work." Shao Ke lowered his head and admitted his mistake wisely.

Long Xiaotian was like a donkey. Based on his past experience, if one didn't go along with Long Xiaotian at this time, it was purely asking for a beating.

Although he said yes with his mouth, in his heart, there were ten thousand mud-covered horses galloping across the grassland.

After scolding for a long time, seeing that his subordinates' attitude of admitting their mistakes was decent enough, and because he was truly tired from scolding, the evil fire in Long Xiaotian's heart gradually dissipated.

"Shao Ke, you tell me, what should we do next?" Long Xiaotian asked.

The poetic youth lowered his head and answered weakly: "Young Master Long, you are the greatest here, you make the decision, we will definitely follow it."

"Your mother. I asked you what to do, and you tell me to make the decision. Then what use do I have for you as a dog-headed strategist?" The anger that had just subsided in Long Xiaotian flared up again.

"Young Master Long, calm down, calm down. That's not what Shao Ke meant." The youth in white beside him quickly advised.

"Hmph!"

Long Xiaotian snorted coldly and didn't scold anymore.

His cold, gloomy gaze swept over the four of them one by one, making them all feel a chill down their spines.

Seeing that the four didn't dare to speak, Long Xiaotian said again: "I can't touch that little fatty for now. But that country boy, I must deal with him. Tell me, what can we do next to kill him?"

The four, including the poetic youth, all wisely bent their waists, lowered their heads, and kept their mouths shut.

"Speak! Are you all mutes?" Long Xiaotian stood up from the stone bench.

Seeing that the others wouldn't speak and Long Xiaotian had signs of blowing up again, the youth in white thought for a moment and spoke in a low voice.

"Young Master Long, a gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years. Now that those two boys are on guard against us, why not let them go for now? After a while, when they relax their vigilance, it won't be too late to deal with them properly."

"No, we must deal with them immediately. A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years, but a villain's revenge is from morning till night. If I don't vent this anger in my chest, am I still Long Xiaotian?" Long Xiaotian's voice rose to ninety decibels.

Seeing his persistence, the man in white turned his gaze to Shao Ke.

Shao Ke was observing his nose and heart, completely ignoring his gaze.

"Shao Ke, you usually have the most ghost ideas, why don't you tell us how we should deal with that country boy next?" Seeing Shao Ke playing dumb, the man in white called him out directly.

Your mother!

Seeing the man in white set him on fire again, Shao Ke couldn't help but curse in his heart.

However, this was not the time to undermine each other. He thought for a moment, lifted his head, and said softly: "The academy entrance exam is imminent. Those two boys will most likely apply to our Nanhua Immortal Academy. When the time comes, we can find people to make things difficult for them, so they fail the exam, and won't all our grudges be avenged?"

Long Xiaotian's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Stealing someone's immortal fate, ruining someone's future. Your idea is poisonous enough, bad enough. But, I like it."

He paused, then said to the man in white: "Bai Ping, you find someone to handle this matter, and make sure it's done properly. Hmph, those two boys dared to provoke me, I'll make them remain mortals for the rest of their lives."
