Damn it, is this kind of yandere character design even conceived by a human? What exactly did the author go through?
Upon seeing He Yunxiao approach, the group, who had been chatting and laughing, stopped talking.
Chu Fan stared at He Yunxiao, Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Fan with slight nervousness, while He Yunxiao casually glanced at everyone present.
Even if you access the original owner's memories, there are very few people who can recognize them.
The one with slender eyebrows and a hooked nose is Yang Qi, a seventh-rank official. The one with round, spherical eyes that are narrowed to slits is Shen Kuan, the son of the Prefect of Yinjing. The white-clad gentleman carrying a folding fan despite the cool weather is Liu Feiyun, the young master of the Zuixianju restaurant.
The man with delicate features but muscular build, who looked like a refined scoundrel, was Tie Weiqi, the young leader of the Iron Eagle Gang in Yin Jing. Finally, they recognized a gaunt man as Yan Cong, a retainer of Prince Qi.
These people belong to the elite of Yin Jing, and have absolutely no connection with the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) like He Yunxiao.
Seeing He Yunxiao walk over without any hesitation, everyone had their own thoughts.
They came here to curry favor with Chu Fan, the rising star of martial arts in the Great Qi Dynasty, and naturally also wanted to show off their abilities in front of him.
With a martial arts cultivation level of rank 9, even if one were to seek an official position now, obtaining a rank 6 Imperial Guard instructor position wouldn't be too difficult.
As sixth-rank instructors, these people didn't really need to be so obsequious, but Chu Fan was simply too young. At this age, with this kind of talent, reaching the Grandmaster realm was almost a certainty.
If it's the Grandmaster level, then it's a completely different story.
Once you reach the Grandmaster level, you can serve as the commander of the Imperial Guards, in charge of the security of the palace.
Although he was a fourth-rank official, he was a figure who served the emperor, the eldest princess, the empress dowager, and others.
Sometimes, a few words can cause someone to fall into an abyss or rise to great heights.
Such is the power of a close advisor.
If they don't choose an official career, with their Grandmaster-level strength, they are more than capable of establishing their own sect. Befriending them today will make them a powerful asset in the martial arts world in the future.
When Shen Kuan, the son of the prefect, saw He Yunxiao approaching, he gritted his teeth, thinking of settling the matter for Chu Fan. So he stood up and greeted the marquis's son with a smile: "Brother He, you must have had some misunderstanding with Chu Fan's sister when the banquet started earlier. How about this, today, for my sake, let's drink a cup to let bygones be bygones and let's drop the matter and never mention it again."
He Yunxiao frowned. "Who are you?"
Shen Kuan knew that He Yunxiao was arrogant and unreasonable, so he had to continue explaining: "I am Shen Kuan, and my father Shen Kaiyun is the Prefect of Yinjing."
He Yunxiao adopted the arrogant demeanor typical of villains, asking, "What rank is the Prefect?"
"Third rank."
"I'm not familiar with that. Move aside, I need to talk to Chu Fan."
Shen Kuan naturally didn't want to back down. Normally, he wouldn't dare to confront He Yunxiao directly, but now, in order to befriend the rising star Chu Fan, and with the support of Yang Qi and others, he decided to stand up for himself this time.
“Brother He, you were already in the wrong for speaking rudely to Miss Chu. Now that Brother Chu doesn’t want to pursue the matter, please don’t be so persistent.”
He Yunxiao burst into laughter.
"You know I made a mistake back then, so why didn't you stop me? When Chu Fan reveals her martial arts skills and has a bright future, will you, Shen Kuan, know how to stand up for Miss Chu?"
Ignoring Shen Kuan's liver-colored face, He Yunxiao pushed him aside and stood in front of Chu Fan.
As if afraid someone wouldn't hear him, he shouted loudly, "Chu Fan, listen up! I, He Yunxiao, have come here to apologize to Chu Chu and Miss Chu!"
Oh no, I almost let it slip, but luckily I was quick-witted.
Upon hearing He Yunxiao's words, everyone was stunned. Even the two people who were fighting on the dueling platform stopped and looked at He Yunxiao.
Everyone had only one question in their minds.
You fucking apologize! Why are you so arrogant?!
