Chapter 66 Heard everything
Added 2025-03-08 10:06:56 +0000 UTCYang Chen could feel that someone was looking at him. He looked back and saw someone with Xiao Yulong.
He could feel that the man had extremely malicious intent toward him.
'So that man should be someone from Xiao Sect. He looks at me like he wants to kill me. He must have wanted Qingyue for himself."
Yang Chen could tell from the gaze that the man had fallen for Xia Qingyue's beauty. The intensity in his eyes made it clear that he would stop at nothing to claim her as his own.
Xia Qingyue felt disgusted by his gaze. She then apologized to Yang Chen, as she might have caused him trouble.
"I am very sorry, husband. I didn't expect that my presence would attract unwanted attention. I never meant to put you in trouble."
"Don't worry, I know you didn't mean it."
Yang Chen comforted her. Beautiful women always attract attention wherever they go, so it was understandable.
Xiao Kuangyun talked with Xiao Yulong about something, and Xiao Yulong nodded his head. It seemed like the sterilization he gave him worked too well, as he didn't feel anything toward Xia Qingyue. He also agreed to help him make Xia Qingyue his wife.
Yang Chen could hear them clearly.
Xiao Yulong talked to Xiao Kuangyun about him not really being a member of the Xiao Clan. And he could use that excuse to make Xia Qingyue marry him instead.
'What a twist.'
Yang Chen didn't think that Xiao Che wasn't the grandson of Xiao Lie. He was just a baby that his supposed father brought home instead of the real Xiao Che.
Yang Chen didn't feel anything. No. He somehow felt relieved that Xiao Lingxi wasn't actually his aunt.
'This means it's wincest. What the hell am I thinking, duh.'
Yang Chen then brought Xia Qingyue to where they should be and will wait for the show.
The Xiao Clan sounded an urgent order for all of its inhabitants to assemble. At once, the Xiao Clan’s inhabitants gathered together as they immediately rushed to the rendezvous spot. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone in the Xiao Clan, be they young or old, was in their designated positions, with not one missing.
“Is everyone from Xiao Clan here?”
Xiao Kuangyun slowly spoke with half-open eyes and a bored tone of voice. However, both his eyes were looking only at Xia Qingyue intensely.
Xia Qingyue didn't like his gaze, so she hugged Yang Chen's arm to make the point that she was his. Yang Chen smirked at him, which made him very angry, but he could control himself.
'I am going to kill this bastard!'
Xiao Kuangyun was really confident that he could deal with Yang Chen. He heard from Xiao Yulong that he was crippled, so snatching his wife wasn't that hard on his mind.
Xiao Yulong still didn't know that Yang Chen was strong, and he shouldn't mess with him.
Yang Chen smiled devilishly. He just dug his own grave, so he didn't have to do anything.
“It has already been confirmed. Everyone is present; there won’t even be one missing.”
Xiao Yunhai said it with a serious look on his face.
“Very good!”
Xiao Kuangyun nodded. His gaze then slanted towards the main entrance.
“Who are those people standing outside the door?”
“Reporting to Young Master Xiao, they are all powerful families within Floating Cloud City. They’ve been gathered here since early this morning, hoping to catch a glimpse of Young Master Xiao’s elegance.”
Xiao Yunhai replied as he half rose out of his chair.
“Ah, it’s like that.”
Xiao Kuangyun nodded and then said it with a wave of his hand.
“Since they are guests, we can’t let them wait outside like that. Let them come in. Having people outside of the Xiao Clan witness today’s matter is also a good thing; otherwise, others may later say that I was being biased.”
Xiao Yunhai promptly sucked up to him.
“Young Master Xiao is truly worthy of being the son of the sect master of the Xiao Sect. You’re this young and are already this open-minded. It’s enough to make me blush with shame... Xiao De, quickly, invite our guests in.”
The main entrance opened, and all the powerful inhabitants of Floating Cloud City orderly walked in, each and every one with a reserved demeanor. All of them brought a heavy gift. Among the crowd, Xiao Che also saw Xia Qingyue’s father, Xia Hongyi.
“Very good; now we can start.”
Xiao Kuangyun straightened in his chair and finally assumed what could be considered a normal sitting posture as he looked down and lightly spoke.
“My name is Xiao Kuangyun, and I am from the Xiao Sect. Regarding the great name of the Xiao Sect, you all should be very clear. In the Blue Wind Empire, there’s nothing that my Xiao Sect can’t resolve. All of you ought to feel honored and proud because, even though you are a bit weak, you can still be said to be related to the Xiao Sect. The founder of the Xiao Clan was the son of one of our Xiao Sect’s elders. However, although your founder was the son of an elder, he was actually born to a female servant. His status was so low it wasn’t worth mentioning, and his profound strength was really too lacking. As a piece of trash, he wasn’t fit to remain in the Xiao Sect. Your founder was thus banished by that Elder to this place, and that’s how your Xiao Clan came into existence.”
Xiao Kuangyun’s extremely harsh words did not hide his disdain for both the entire Xiao Clan and their founder. A few Xiao Clan members scowled upon hearing this, but no one dared to make a fuss.
