"Allow me to introduce myself. This one bears the compound surname Shangguan, given name Yueyang! Fairy Yurou is indeed a peerless beauty of the mortal world, and Fairy Yanyu is as lovely as a flower!"
"I spent quite a long time searching for you two fairies! I never thought I would run into you here. This is truly fate!"
Shangguan Yueyang's gaze moved away from Liu Yurou and Mo Yanyu, sweeping around the private room. He discovered that Dragon Blade's people were here too, and when his eyes swept over Qing Mo, he found that Qing Mo's hand was still resting on Mo Yanyu's shoulder, his palm still covering Guobao's face!
What especially displeased him was Qing Mo's gaze, as if he were looking at a dead man. He was the young master of a hidden family, the future heir. Wherever he went, who did not nod and bow to him? Yet someone actually looked at him with that kind of gaze, and was even so frivolous toward Fairy Yanyu!
"Yo! You must be Lin Fan, whose name resounds through Capital City, right? I didn't expect Dragon Blade's people to be here too. What, are you planning to invite the Twin Rain Fairies to join Dragon Blade?"
"And you—take your filthy hand off Fairy Yanyu's shoulder! Otherwise, I guarantee you'll regret it!"
Shangguan Yueyang pointed at Qing Mo. He had long since regarded Liu Yurou and Mo Yanyu as his forbidden delicacies. If it were not for maintaining a good image in front of these two fairies, he would have already had someone make a move against Qing Mo!
"Mr. Qing Mo, do you need me to..."
"No need. Take your people and leave first. You don't need to involve yourself in this."
"Understood!"
Shangguan Yueyang watched as Lin Fan obeyed the man before him so readily, which was different from the rumors he had heard about Lin Fan striking out the moment someone disagreed with him. But even Dragon Blade's three top leaders had to give the Shangguan Family some face. This was the confidence of a hidden family!
"Kid, didn't you hear what my young master said? Hurry up and take your dog hand off—"
Bang~
The lackey who had originally stepped forward and pointed at Qing Mo while speaking was directly crushed to the ground by a tremendous force. In an instant, blood flowed all over the floor, his life and death unknown, and the entire floor had been smashed into a human-shaped outline!
Shangguan Yueyang's entire body tensed as if facing a great enemy. He had no idea how his man had suddenly ended up like this, but he did know it definitely had something to do with the man before him!
Some of the people originally behind him saw this situation and thought Qing Mo was about to attack their young master. They had just been about to make a move when Shangguan Yueyang stopped them!
Only then did Qing Mo's voice slowly ring out in the private room!
"I'm not the sort of person who lets people curse me and just pretends I didn't hear it. I'm even less some moral benchmark with the Holy Mother possessing me. If you dare curse me, you have to pay the price!"
Shangguan Yueyang began to take this man before him, who did not have the slightest fluctuation of inner force, seriously. No wonder he had remained unmoved from the very beginning. So it turned out he did have some ability. But before a hidden family, all of this was not worth mentioning. After all, how could anyone rely on one person to resist an entire great family with a thousand years of foundation?
"Did you not hear who I am? No matter how capable you are, as long as my Shangguan Family..."
Qing Mo was in no mood to listen to this kind of person prattle on and on. Before Shangguan Yueyang could finish speaking, Qing Mo interrupted him directly.
"The Shangguan Family, a hidden great family of this world. Within the clan, there is one half-step Earth Immortal Realm, two early-stage Divine Realms, three mid-stage Demigod Realms, eight peak Grandmasters, and the rest I'm too lazy to mention! With this sort of foundation, even Dragon Blade's leaders would more or less give you some face!"
"But these things you're so proud of are not even worth less than garbage in my eyes! What bullshit hidden family? Calling you ants would still be flattering you!"
"I'm too lazy to argue with you that much. Better let the elders of your family come teach you that beyond every man there is another man, and beyond the sky there is another sky!"
Snap~
Shangguan Yueyang was still shocked that the man before him had actually peeled apart his family's foundation so clearly, when he saw Qing Mo's hand, the one originally resting on Mo Yanyu's shoulder, snap its fingers. The scene that appeared afterward made him collapse straight to the ground in a daze!
"What's going on? Didn't I just return to the family?"
"Big Brother, how did we get here? Where is this?"
"Great-Grandfather, how did you come here too? What exactly is going on?"
Every member of the Shangguan Family whose martial cultivation had reached peak Grandmaster was brought over by Qing Mo. The private room, which had originally been quite spacious, suddenly became somewhat crowded.
"Mm? Yueyang, why are you here? What's going on? Where is this place?"
Shangguan Yueyang looked at the Great Ancestor, Eldest Great-Grandfather, and Second Great-Grandfather who had suddenly appeared before him, as well as his own father and several uncles. He did not even bother with the elders questioning him, only stared at Qing Mo with eyes full of terror!
"These were all, all you...?"
"It was me!"
The members of the Shangguan Family looked at Qing Mo, who was speaking with Shangguan Yueyang, and for a moment their minds could not quite turn the corner!
"You brat, you're the one who brought us here?"
"Your daddy here brought you all over!"
Shangguan Yueyang's eldest uncle questioned Qing Mo, and when Qing Mo heard this familiar line, he could not help replying off the cuff!
After the Shangguan Family's experts heard Qing Mo's answer, they immediately circulated their inner force and attacked Qing Mo. Afterward, every single Shangguan Family member Qing Mo had brought over was suppressed by him. Every last one of them knelt on the ground, like wooden stakes!
While everyone from the Shangguan Family was still shocked as to why this was happening, and why the inner force in their bodies could not be circulated at all, that half-step Earth Immortal Realm Great Ancestor understood some of the matter!
"May I ask if Your Excellency is an immortal cultivator? I do not know what wrong my Shangguan Family has committed to provoke Your Excellency's anger. My Shangguan Family is willing to make amends! Please spare my Shangguan Family a path to survival!"
Knock, knock, knock.
"Dear guests, your dishes are here!"
Qing Mo had just been about to speak when he heard the knock on the door. Then the waiter had just opened the door to serve the dishes when he saw a scene that left him dumbfounded!
"You keep serving the dishes. Their legs just went numb from standing. Kneeling is more comfortable!"
"Yes, sir!"
Just as the waiter was at a loss for what to do, Qing Mo's words pulled him back to reality. He deftly went around the people kneeling there, hurriedly served the dishes, and then quickly left the private room!
After all, he also knew why so many people had recently come to the foot of You Mountain. As long as he did his own work properly, he would pretend he had seen nothing else!
"Brother Shangguan! Your movements are as swift as ever! This little brother had only just found out that the Twin Rain Fairies were here. I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect I'd found the wrong private room. Sorry, I'm truly sorry! Everyone, carry on! Carry on! Sorry for disturbing you! Sorry!"
Just as Qing Mo was about to speak again, the door to the private room was opened once more. Sima Hui, who led the group in, saw the scene before him and was instantly so frightened his legs went weak. The bellyful of teasing words he had prepared for Shangguan Yueyang all died in the womb!
Even the grand declarations and eternal vows he had meant to say when he saw Liu Yurou were all deleted from his mind, with an extra formatting thrown in!
In all the years Sima Hui had been alive, he had never seen a scene like this. All the upper echelon of the Shangguan Family, including Grand Ancestor Shangguan and Great Elder Shangguan, who had long stopped concerning themselves with worldly affairs, were kneeling so straight and proper. Seeing this, Sima Hui was so scared that two drops of urine leaked out!
Sima Hui wished he could slap himself twice. Why had he told his men to open the door? Wouldn't it have been nice to just turn around and leave obediently? Everyone in the private room had their eyes fixed on Sima Hui, making him feel more awkward than he had ever felt since childhood. Now, leaving was wrong, and not leaving was wrong too!
"Yo! Isn't this the young master of the Sima Family? What's this? You finally got to see Fairy Yurou, whom you've been longing for day and night, and you won't even say hello?
"I've long heard that you, Young Master Sima, swore to marry none but Fairy Yurou! I even heard something about how if Fairy Yanyu was willing too, you'd accept her as well!"
Holding the mentality that if he had to die, they would die together, Shangguan Yueyang dragged the bewildered Sima Hui down into the water too!
"Since I'm definitely doomed anyway, don't you think you'll get off easy!"
Shangguan Yueyang knew he was probably finished. Even if he died, he had to drag someone down with him!
