In the second half of the banquet, many people were absent-minded, picking up their phones from time to time to follow the business split between the Gu family and Xiao Yunting.
Everyone present was terrified when they saw that Gu's stocks had hit the limit down in just half an hour, and then he had swapped eight of them to become the market maker and pushed Xiao's stocks up to the limit up again.
Although the Xiao family was wealthy in the past, they did not have such great power.
This was the first time they had witnessed each other's strength since Xiao Yunting ascended the throne.
So terrifying.
At the end of the party, the guests left one after another, and Ye Lan also wanted to leave with everyone.
"Miss, Mr. Xiao asked you to wait a moment."
The assistant who had met him a few times before came forward and said respectfully.
Ye Lan paused, thinking that the other party might have something important to say, so he turned around and told Ah Yue, "Go back with them first."
"Okay." A Yue was thinking about going back to study the Yin Ling Grass, so she turned around and immediately dragged Chen Zhexi away.
Poor Chen Zhexi was still thinking about helping his brother, but in the end he was taken away without saying a word.
Xie Chenan watched the girl slowly walk towards the terrace, pursed his lips, and finally did not have the courage to chase her, so he could only turn around and leave silently.
In addition to the natural oxygen bar and panoramic views on the top floor, there are also several small terraces on the periphery, but the floor is too high and generally no one dares to approach.
Ye Lan stood in front of the railing, looked up at the stars, and boredly deduced the location of his master. He found that the other party was not in Wushan where he had lived all year round, but overseas.
Maybe he's going to look for experimental subjects again...
As she was thinking, she heard footsteps behind her.
The man's steady pace and increasingly powerful breath easily revealed some of his recent situation.
"You've made a breakthrough."
Ye Lan didn't look back, but his comments were very accurate.
"Yes." Xiao Yunting stepped forward, his expression unchanged as he faced the panoramic view of the entire imperial capital. He spoke in a steady tone, "Breakthrough to the third level."
Tsk.
Ye Lan sighed inwardly, remembering that Xie Chenan was also a martial arts prodigy, and had only just learned the first level of the technique under her guidance and in life-and-death battles.
Unexpectedly, the person next to me was even more terrifying and had already reached the third floor.
"What's the matter with keeping me here?" she asked.
Xiao Yunting paused, then looked at her with his eyes half-closed, his pupils deep and bottomless.
"You're on guard against me."
This is an affirmative sentence, without even an unnecessary doubtful rising syllable at the end.
Um?
Ye Lan frowned, sensing the other party's dissatisfaction that was evident in his words. Thinking of the topic of their confrontation in front of the B&B, he couldn't help but find it funny. He raised the corner of his eye and said in a curious tone, "Shouldn't I be on guard?"
Xiao Yunting suddenly raised his brows, and the heavy pressure on his body was even more oppressive than the oppression from high above, surging towards Ye Lan in an impenetrable manner.
If it were anyone else, they would have been scared to the point of losing their legs.
But Ye Lan remained calm and composed, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
"Your destiny is extremely strong, and you will get whatever you want in life. However, you were unlucky in your childhood because of your parents' misfortune. Your life has been very difficult. If you make a mistake in every step you take, you will be shattered and doomed."
The girl's voice was clear and bright, as if it could blow away all the clouds surrounding her. Under the stars, she turned to meet Xiao Yunting's gaze and said seriously, "I believe that every choice you make is for survival. There is no right or wrong."
There are many people in the world who cannot even afford a bite to eat. Even she, who was regarded as Xuanzong's hope since childhood, had to go through life and death trials before she became the feared first patriarch of the sect.
So she never thought there was anything wrong with Xiao Yunting developing weapons to deal with ancient warriors.
That was just the bargaining chip for his surrender when he was young.
Hearing this, the coldness on Xiao Yunting's face softened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, the frost in his eyes melted away, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I won't hurt you." He promised in a deep voice.
Hmm.
Ye Lan did not respond, thinking that when she would take charge of Xuanzong again in the future, if he could still say this, she would respect him as a man.
The topic of each going its own way was thus resolved.
Neither of them is pretentious and neither of them holds grudges.
Soon, the assistant hurried in from outside. Seeing where the two were standing, his legs went weak and he felt a toothache.
"Boss, the documents are ready."
Xiao Yunting heard the noise and turned around to see the man standing two meters away, his leather shoes barely touching the edge of the terrace. He lowered his head and didn't dare to take a single step inside. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, "Bring it in."
After hearing the instruction, the assistant's face turned more bitter than coptis chinensis, but he still gritted his teeth and took two trembling steps.
Ye Lan also looked back, shook his head, and finally offered a hand out of kindness, "Give me the thing."
Pop.
The assistant handed the document to the girl without thinking and unconsciously walked back into the house.
Seeing the man's face becoming increasingly cold, Ye Lan chuckled and advised, "Everyone has a timid and cowardly side. Why force it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yunting's brows finally relaxed, but his tone was still very cold, "Go down."
"...Yes." The assistant quickly slipped away, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Is this a question for the faint of heart?!
Who the hell can stand thousands of meters in the air with no guardrails and remain calm?!
In the past, he had only seen one pervert, his own boss, and now there is another little pervert.
It really is true that people from the same family tend to be alike!
The two men, whose mental strength was as strong as steel and concrete, were completely unaware of their actions and were still chatting in front of the railing.
