Young Master in Flower City

As long as another half are eliminated, then the top ten of this year’s Wind and Cloud Banquet will be decided and receive the City Lord’s reward.

As for the top three, they have already emerged in the minds of the surrounding crowd; they must be Mo Qingluan, Zhan Tian, and Demon Heaven.

The first seat will also come from among the three of them, but for now, it’s uncertain who it will be. After all, these three are currently the most favored, and people even feel that Zhuang Feiyan, Yan Hai, and others have no chance of entering the top three due to the participation of the Celestial Demon City’s prodigies.

Though people speculate this way, of course, the actual results will still need to be seen. Perhaps a powerful dark horse will emerge?

At least that Li Fei leaves people feeling unfathomable.

The top eighteen have surfaced, but as it is getting late, dusk falls like blood-red sunlight on everyone’s face, especially the eighteen standing on the nine battle platforms, making them even more prominent.

Then, City Lord Mo Xuan looked up at the sky and said lightly, "It’s getting late, let’s end today’s Wind and Cloud Banquet here. I hope to see the top ten emerge from you tomorrow!"

Having said that, Mo Xuan stood up and addressed Yao Cang beside him, "Brother Yao, let’s call it a day for today. How about being a guest at my residence tonight?"

"That won’t be necessary," Yao Cang replied, looking Mo Xuan in the eye calmly, "You should prepare the Cold Ice Tower in advance!"

"Brother Yao, are you so sure that Demon Heaven, one of the double prodigies of Celestial Demon City, will be among the top three?" Mo Cang’s voice was quite indifferent, and Yao Cang smiled lightly, "Of course not!"

"So..."

"Brother Mo, let me finish," Yao Cang waved his hand, "The first seat must be Demon Heaven, and I fear the top three seats will also be occupied by my Celestial Demon City. By then, I’m afraid no one from Ice Sea City, including your daughter Mo Qingluan, will enter the top three!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke, "Are you so confident?"

"If Demon Heaven takes first, would you be willing to betroth your precious daughter to him?" Yao Cang’s voice was equally indifferent, as if the first place were already a foregone conclusion. He continued, "As for your daughter’s dowry, it will be the Cold Ice Tower!"

"Humans and beasts will never walk together," Mo Xuan’s voice turned cold. Since Yao Cang spoke so impolitely, Mo Xuan naturally showed no friendly face in return.

Moreover, he did not speak wrongly. Celestial Demon City is ruled by demon beasts; are they not beasts?

Even if they transform into human forms, beasts remain beasts.

"Mo Xuan, I hope you’ll still be able to say such things after the Wind and Cloud Banquet concludes!" After speaking, Yao Cang stepped into the air and left, followed by the five demon monarchs and Demon Heaven, who also cast a cold glance at Mo Xuan.

Although they weren’t sure why the Celestial Demon City’s Lord Yao Cang was so enraged just now, it proved that their conversation must have irritated him.

Then, all six also stepped into the air and quickly vanished into the vast sky.

Seeing this, many people’s gazes flickered.

After leaving the Wind and Cloud Banquet battle platform, Xiao Tianyu walked with Hong Yuan and Hong Yiyi towards the inn.

City Lord Mo Xuan glanced in their direction and said to Mo Qingluan beside him, "Do you know where they’re staying?"

"I don’t know," Mo Qingluan shook her head, puzzled why Mo Xuan would be interested in the three of them. Therefore, her beautiful eyes twinkled slightly, "The nine directive elders should have their detailed information!"

"Tell that young man Xiao Tianyu to come to my residence for a chat," Mo Xuan said lightly, causing Mo Qingluan to become even more puzzled. She asked, "Father, why are you interested in him? Although this person is quite talented, it seems he has no hope of breaking into the top ten!"

"I know that, but don’t forget, he’s only at the Divine Level Seventh Layer. Isn’t it outstanding enough that he made it this far?" Mo Xuan said to his beloved daughter, "What I value is his potential!"

It’s undeniable that Mo Xuan has a very keen eye. Although Xiao Tianyu didn’t seem too prominent, he couldn’t escape Mo Xuan’s gaze. Achieving the top eighteen at the Divine Level Seventh Layer—how many in Ice Sea City could manage that?

He believed that if given more time, Xiao Tianyu would certainly soar to great heights.

Such a person is indeed worth Mo Xuan’s favor.

Moreover, with today’s Wind and Cloud Banquet and the participation of Celestial Demon City, Mo Xuan has sensed an unusual aura. Perhaps this is the first step Celestial Demon City plans to take in annexing Ice Sea City.

"I’ll investigate now," Mo Qingluan nodded, knowing she would never defy her father’s wishes.

"Go," Mo Xuan waved his hand and then left the city tower.

After Mo Xuan left, many from the crowd below also began to leave, intending to find somewhere to spend the night.

Yet many still remained, unwilling to leave as they planned to stay there for the night, eagerly anticipating tomorrow’s events.

Su Mei’Er took a look in the direction where Xiao Tianyu had disappeared, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly as if pondering something. Not long after, she left this space with the Fang Family’s strong members.

Of course, the name Xiao Tianyu was already well-known to all.

Once a humiliated youth, he showcased his unrivaled elegance and vanquished Liu Feng with a single sword.

...

On the other side.

After returning to the inn, Xiao Tianyu and the others entered their room.

Hong Yiyi threw her arms around Xiao Tianyu’s neck and planted a kiss on him, causing Xiao Tianyu to feel utterly embarrassed. This little girl would mature in a couple of years; she still didn’t know how to avoid suspicion?

"Brother Xiao, your face is turning red!" Hong Yiyi blinked her beautiful eyes, revealing a mischievously cute expression, causing Xiao Tianyu to be at a loss, "You’re not that young anymore; pay attention to your actions next time, alright?"

"In front of Brother Xiao, I’ll always be a kid!"

Xiao Tianyu: "..."

Beside them, Hong Yuan was feeling jealous, "Is this still my own sister?"

"Someone’s jealous!" Xiao Tianyu said to Hong Yiyi, who glanced at Hong Yuan with her beautiful eyes, "Let him be. The inn has plenty of vinegar vats; he can have as much as he wants!"

Hong Yuan: "..."

Hong Yiyi continued to speak to Xiao Tianyu, "Brother Xiao, let’s go shopping. After all, the night is long!"

"Yiyi!" Hong Yuan stepped forward, "I have something to discuss with Brother Xiao, you go to the next room for now!"

"Alright," Hong Yiyi nodded, stepped out, and Hong Yuan closed the door before turning to look at Xiao Tianyu. Then with a thud, he knelt before Xiao Tianyu, leaving Xiao Tianyu thoroughly bewildered.

"Brother Hong, what is this? Get up!"

"Brother Xiao, my sister’s hope rests entirely on you, this kneeling..."

"I may not make it into the top three; you saw it. Among the top eighteen of the Wind and Cloud Banquet, there’s not a single weakling, especially those from Celestial Demon City, who are profoundly mysterious. Securing a seat in the top three is extremely difficult. I can only say I’ll do my best!"
