Chapter 1271 - 1273: The Storm Banquet Continues
The City Lord agreed to Xiao Tianyu’s terms, which naturally surprised Tianyu a lot. No matter how, the poison on Hong Yiyi’s body has finally been resolved perfectly, isn’t this exactly what he wanted?
To Xiao Tianyu, this surprise is even more joyous than getting the Three Realms banquet. Hong Yiyi is so adorable, Tianyu wouldn’t want her to leave the world so early.
Returning to the inn.
"Brother Xiao, you’re back!" Hong Yiyi stepped forward, holding Xiao Tianyu’s arm as they entered, and Hong Yuan was quite curious upon seeing this. He stepped forward and spoke to Tianyu: "Brother Xiao, what did the City Lord want to see you for?"
In fact, Hong Yuan was more eager to find out if Tianyu discussed Yiyi’s injury during his visit to the City Lord’s Mansion because, to Hong Yuan, Hong Yiyi was everything in his life.
"Oh, it’s nothing much, just talked about Yiyi’s injury!" Xiao Tianyu gently stroked Hong Yiyi’s fine hair, while Hong Yuan became nervous: "What did the City Lord say?"
Hong Yuan didn’t have high hopes. After all, the City Lord had no relation to him, why would he expend immense Primordial Power to heal Yiyi’s wounds? Moreover, in Hong Yuan’s eyes, the City Lord was high above and untouchable.
"The City Lord agreed!" Xiao Tianyu casually said.
Upon hearing this, Hong Yuan was stunned, feeling that Tianyu’s words were somewhat unreal. Even Hong Yiyi’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of disbelief as she looked at Tianyu.
She said: "Brother Xiao, do you mean I won’t die anymore?"
"Yes!" Tianyu nodded with a smile: "Your life is long!"
"Brother Xiao, is it true?" Hong Yuan looked at Tianyu and, after a brief pause, exclaimed excitedly: "That’s not a joke to make!"
For no reason, the City Lord’s willingness to detoxify Yiyi was hard for him to believe. He thought Tianyu might be joking, but such a joke is not allowed when it’s concerning Yiyi’s life.
"When have I ever joked around?" Xiao Tianyu said seriously to Hong Yuan: "Pack your things, and come with me to the City Lord’s Mansion!"
"This..." Hong Yuan still found it hard to believe. The City Lord is high above, how could he agree to a request from someone so insignificant like him? Even though Tianyu has some talent, it doesn’t seem enough to catch the City Lord’s attention, right?
It’s even more unlikely that the City Lord would consume a large amount of Primordial Qi to detoxify Yiyi.
Yet Tianyu said the City Lord agreed.
He asked the Hong siblings to quickly pack, and then they left the inn with Tianyu. Although Hong Yuan still couldn’t fully believe it, it was better than having no hope.
...
The City Lord’s Mansion.
When Xiao Tianyu and the others reached the gate, the guard from before did not stop Tianyu. Clearly, the City Lord or Mo Qingluan had given instructions, and the three walked directly into the City Lord’s Mansion without any obstruction.
This left Hong Yuan confused.
This was the City Lord’s Mansion, a place ordinary people couldn’t just intrude upon, yet Tianyu walked as if he owned the place, unimpeded.
"Follow me!" A figure appeared ahead, it was Mo Qingluan. Hong Yuan bowed slightly: "Greetings..."
"No need for greetings, this is my junior sister, you don’t need to be formal!"
Hong Yuan: "..."
Hong Yiyi: "..."
Mo Qingluan: "..."
They’ve seen shameless people, but never one as shameless as Xiao Tianyu. They were all stunned looking at Tianyu.
Then, Mo Qingluan said coldly: "My father hasn’t agreed to take you as an apprentice yet!"
"It’s only a matter of time!"
"You..." Mo Qingluan’s chest heaved with anger, her disguise as a man didn’t hide her clearly feminine chest.
Tianyu smiled indifferently: "Isn’t it so? Besides, your father has already agreed to my terms, do you think..."
"Let’s go..." Mo Qingluan glared fiercely at Tianyu and walked towards the City Lord’s Hall.
As for Hong Yiyi and Hong Yuan, they both looked at Tianyu strangely. This guy dares to tease even Mo Qingluan, the top contender of the Three Realms banquet?
In Hong Yuan and Yiyi’s memories, Mo Qingluan wasn’t just one of the top three goddesses of Ice Sea City but also the aloof ice queen. Normally, someone who dared to tease her would lose their head.
Yet now, although Mo Qingluan was angry, she seemed unable to deal with Tianyu.
Soon, they entered the City Lord’s Hall and saw Mo Xuan standing in the hall, hands behind his back, with Mo Qingluan beside him.
"City Lord!"
Including Tianyu, the three bowed slightly. After all, the man before them was a legendary figure of Ice Sea City, proper etiquette was necessary, especially when asking for a favor. If they were impolite, and he changed his mind, what would they do?
"Qingluan, take Tianyu to the garden for a walk!" Mo Xuan unexpectedly said, leaving Mo Qingluan puzzled. Let me take him to stroll in the garden? Was this a subtle hint?
Then, Mo Qingluan glared at Tianyu: "Come with me!"
Tianyu scratched his head and followed Mo Qingluan out of the hall, while Hong Yuan was taken to a room to rest by the servants. However, before leaving, he glanced at Tianyu, wondering how this guy managed to coax the City Lord into entrusting his daughter to him. Isn’t the plot developing too quickly?
Outside the hall, Tianyu said seriously: "Hey, you’re so fiery, who would dare to marry you in the future?"
"It’s not like you’ll be responsible for me. Why do you care?" Mo Qingluan said coldly to Tianyu, who laughed indifferently: "I wish your father thought the same way you do!"
"You..." Mo Qingluan was so furious that her face turned Tie Qing: "Soon enough, my father will see your true nature!"
Mo Qingluan couldn’t understand why her father valued this rogue so much, even letting her take him for a walk in the garden.
On the other side, Hong Yiyi was taken into a secret room by Mo Xuan. Yiyi was quite anxious; faced with the dominating City Lord, would he really heal her as Tianyu said?
She knew that the only one in Ice Sea City who could heal her was the man before her, but she never dared to hope for it.
...
The next day, as the eastern sky began to lighten, the vast battlegrounds of the Three Realms banquet became the focus of endless crowds, the streets emptily bustling.
Today was the second round of finals for the Three Realms banquet, where half of the current eighteen contenders would be eliminated.
Currently, on the nine battle platforms, there stood two people each, with Xiao Tianyu occupying the ninth platform. The Water Lord tested Tianyu yesterday and knew well that he wasn’t easy to deal with.
Below the nine battle platforms, Hong Yiyi and Hong Yuan watched Tianyu nervously. Of the eighteen contenders, with Tianyu already in the mix, if another nine are eliminated, wouldn’t Tianyu make it to the top ten?
Though it was just fantasy, both Yiyi and Hong Yuan were quite excited.
However, now Yiyi looked rosy and lively, evidently more cheerful and cute, clearly showing that the poison in her body was cleared by Mo Xuan yesterday. Still, Mo Xuan expended so much Primordial Qi, it would take at least half a month for him to recover.
