"Okay, okay, go away." Fu Chishang waved his hand at Ziren, telling him not to disturb him and his niece's conversation.
Disliked by his own lord, Zi Ren had no choice but to retreat.
He wasn't even thinking of His Highness's best interests; this Lord Ruan was a wise man, and he was worried that Lord Ruan would become suspicious.
"Xiao Xi, do you mind if I call you that?" Fu Chishang said, then carefully asked, "Is it presumptuous of me?"
"It is quite presumptuous of me to say this." Ruan Xiyan spoke frankly, as she and this Sect Master Fu did not seem to be that familiar with each other yet.
However, seeing the fleeting disappointment in Fu Chishang's eyes, Ruan Xiyan continued, "If you want to call me that, then go ahead."
It's just a name; a name is meant to be called.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chishang immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Xi, you've come to this turbulent place all by yourself. Is there anything you need to do? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ruan Xiyan shook her head, "I came here to gain experience and improve my strength."
Fu Chishang nodded knowingly, "I see."
To dare to venture into this chaotic place alone, little girl, you have quite the courage.
"What brings Sect Master Fu here this time?" Ruan Xiyan asked casually.
"I came here to take care of some things," Fu Chishang replied, never expecting to run into her again.
Ruan Xiyan did not press the matter further.
The two chatted for a while in the inn's private room. When it was almost dark, Ruan Xiyan returned to her own room.
Amidst the noisy and chaotic city, Ruan Xiyan did not close her eyes to sleep, but instead continued to meditate and cultivate.
The noise outside interrupted her meditation at dawn.
Ruan Xiyan got up, opened the door, and looked down at the first floor of the inn.
A large group of people entered the inn, led by a woman dressed in an exquisite dress.
The innkeeper was bowing and smiling obsequiously at the woman, clearly indicating that she was no ordinary person in the chaotic city, otherwise the innkeeper wouldn't be so subservient to her.
The woman had a spoiled expression on her face. I don't know what the shop owner said, but she kicked him out.
The people following behind her immediately rushed up and punched and kicked the shop owner. The shop owner covered his head and curled up on the ground. Even though he was beaten black and blue, he did not dare to resist in the slightest.
The other people in the inn looked at the woman with wary eyes, as if they were used to this scene and dared not go forward to provoke her.
Ruan Xiyan didn't have the habit of meddling in other people's business, and was about to return to her room.
Who knew that when the woman below looked up and glanced at the second floor, she immediately spotted Ruan Xiyan, who had not yet left.
She said something to her men, and they stopped and followed her upstairs.
Ruan Xiyan frowned slightly as she looked at their hostile expressions, wondering if they were after her.
Just as she wished, the woman at the head of the group stopped in front of Ruan Xiyan.
"I had heard that a handsome and clean-cut young master had come to the City of Chaos. I didn't expect it to be true. Such a stunning young master has come to the City of Chaos."
Zhai Xinyu stared at Ruan Xiyan with bright eyes, "My name is Zhai Xinyu, and I am the daughter of the city lord of Chaotic City. May I ask how this young master is addressed?"
The city lord's daughter! Ruan Xiyan's expression hardened. No wonder everyone around her was so wary of her.
The lord of Chaotic City can be considered the most powerful local tyrant in this area.
Seeing Zhai Xinyu walk straight toward Ruan Xiyan, the people around clicked their tongues in surprise. It turned out that the little tyrant of the city lord's mansion had taken a fancy to this handsome young master.
As the only daughter of the city lord, Zhai Xinyu was very spoiled and was notorious in the chaotic city for her willfulness and capriciousness.
Relying on her father's status as a powerful local figure whom no one dared to offend, she acted arrogantly and domineeringly every day. On the surface, she led her men to collect rent from various shops, but in reality, she was openly robbing them.
If she took a fancy to a young man, she would bring him back to the city lord's mansion to be his male concubine.
Besides the male concubines she tortured to death, there are at least a dozen more male concubines in her household now.
Ruan Xiyan did not answer, and Zhai Xinyu was not annoyed. A handsome young man can have a bit of a temper.
However, once she brings him back to her residence, she has plenty of ways to tame him and break his pride.
“Young master, why don’t you come back to the city lord’s mansion with me? As long as you follow me, I guarantee that no one in this chaotic city will dare to bully you.”
Zhai Xinyu spoke in a tone of negotiation, but her attitude was extremely assertive.
If Ruan Xiyan agrees, that's fine, but if she dares to refuse, Zhai Xinyu will probably order her to be tied up and taken back.
Ruan Xiyan's lips twitched slightly. What a mess this was.
She thought dressing as a man would be more convenient, but she never expected that even dressed as a man would attract attention. These days, even handsome men aren't safe going out alone?!
Although she could completely transform herself with the Bone-Binding Pill, a woman dresses up for the one she loves, and she didn't want to become ugly because of others, as that would make her feel terrible.
Moreover, Shugu Dan has side effects, so it's generally best to avoid taking it if possible.
Since we're here to train, we need opponents to act as punching bags. As the local strongmen of Chaotic City, the City Lord's Mansion must be quite powerful and have many treasures.
Only life-or-death battles can unleash potential, so let's start by taking them down.
No matter how powerful the local tyrants in Chaotic City are, she's determined to shake up the city!
The commotion also caught Fu Chishang's attention. Fu Chishang came out of the room and stood silently in front of Ruan Xiyan, asking, "Isn't this young lady's behavior a bit too domineering?"
Seeing Fu Chishang suddenly blocking her way, Ruan Xiyan looked completely bewildered.
The fact that the sect leader was unusually friendly to her, especially since she wasn't a porcelain doll, meant she was prepared to face anything if she dared to venture into this chaotic place.
Little did they know that Fu Chishang's heartbreak stemmed from his excessive concern.
Upon seeing Fu Chishang, Zhai Xinyu simply stopped pretending and said, "What a wonderful day it is today that another handsome young man has appeared."
Zhai Xinyu pointed at Ruan Xiyan, then at Fu Chishang, "Why don't you two come back with me? One of you can be my eighteenth male concubine, and the other my nineteenth male concubine."
Living in a closed and chaotic place for many years, almost isolated from the outside world, it's normal that they didn't recognize Fu Chishang's identity.
Otherwise, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to let the sect leader of the prestigious Snowfall Sect become a male concubine.
Zi Ren, who was following behind Fu Chi Shang, broke out in a cold sweat. Was this woman insane?! This was no way she was courting death!
A cold glint flashed in Fu Chishang's eyes, and his face was full of disgust.
"Are you going to come with me if you know what's good for you, or should I tie you up and take you back?" Zhai Xinyu pleaded patiently.
If it weren't for their exceptionally beautiful appearances, surpassing all the male concubines in the household combined, she wouldn't have been so kind as to give them a choice.
Normally, she would have already tied them up and taken them back to the city lord's mansion.
Just as Fu Chishang was about to refuse, Ruan Xiyan preemptively said, "Alright, I'll go back with you. Please lead the way, young lady."
