CHAPTER 200: CHAPTER 188: WHOSE DOG

The incident at Wanying Hotel quickly spread.

Zhongjing is the political center, and the major noble families are very sensitive, they can rapidly interpret this kind of news.

Many people thought it was a deliberate move by the Yan Family to give Wei Yue a warning.

From the perspective of noble families, such tactics are also very normal.

In the eyes of the millennia-old noble families in Zhongjing, Mingjing City is equivalent to a countryside town, and the Wei Family is just like local tycoons, not worth mentioning.

What shocked the major noble families was that the patriarch of the Yan Family, Yan Deyuan, personally went to the Yuelai Inn, and even brought officials from the Law Enforcement Headquarters and other relevant departments to openly apologize to Wei Yue and presented her with a heavy gift.

Because there were outsiders present, this news spread throughout all the noble families in Zhongjing by the evening.

The noble families were surprised but also dismissive of Yan Deyuan’s actions, thinking that he had disgraced the face of a millennia-old noble family.

However, on the other hand, it also showed that Wei Yue indeed had the ability to make the arrogant Yan Deyuan bow his head and apologize.

Noble families in Zhongjing became somewhat interested in Wei Yue.

Of course, there were also many smart people among the noble families. They guessed that there might be the influence of the Blood Shadow behind this.

Guessing is one thing, but many people still refused to believe that Blood Shadow could have such strong influence.

A shadowy assassin, no matter how strong, what could he do?

The topic of Blood Shadow also became the center of discussion for all the major noble families.

Some noble families even sent invitations to Wei Yue, for various parties and banquets with numerous themes.

Wei Yue politely declined all of them. She was very clear that the noble families in Zhongjing were proud and curious to see her.

Moreover, she had a very close cooperative relationship with the Yan Family, so it was inconvenient to connect with other noble families.

With so many things happening, Wei Yue still wanted to keep a low profile.

That evening, Wei Zhenzhen also rushed over from school. She wasn’t very concerned about Wei Yue, mainly thinking about Gao Xuan.

"Mom, I missed you so much."

Wei Zhenzhen hugged Wei Yue coquettishly for a while, and couldn’t help but ask, "Gao Xuan lives here too, right?"

Wei Yue looked at her daughter, after not seeing her for two months, Wei Zhenzhen had grown taller and her figure had improved.

The arrogance on her face had also diminished a lot.

At Zhongjing University, where noble youths were everywhere, Wei Zhenzhen didn’t have the sense of superiority anymore, and naturally, she became more composed.

Wei Yue was very pleased with her daughter’s changes. Sending her to study in Zhongjing was indeed a wise decision.

However, her daughter asked about Gao Xuan as soon as they met and didn’t care about her mother’s safety, she was still just a kid.

Wei Yue didn’t have much expectation of Wei Zhenzhen, she sighed inwardly but remained expressionless, "Gao Xuan lives in the courtyard across the street."

"Then I’ll go find him." Wei Zhenzhen said excitedly, wanting to go find Gao Xuan.

Wei Yue gently held Wei Zhenzhen’s hand, "Zhenzhen, there’s something I need to tell you. Gao Xuan will go to Taurus at the end of the year and won’t come back."

"Ah!"

Wei Zhenzhen was shocked, "What’s he going to Taurus for? Isn’t Mingjing City good? He doesn’t want me anymore... wuwuwu..."

Wei Zhenzhen immediately started crying, and said excitedly, "I need to find Gao Xuan and get clarity."

Because of Gao Xuan’s special status, he and Yun Qingshang lived in a separate courtyard.

Wei Zhenzhen ran straight into the yard, saw that the window was open, avoided the door, and jumped directly inside.

The room was a bedroom, with a big bed by the window, surrounded by translucent curtains hanging all around.

In the middle of the bed, two people were wrestling together. One had her hair in thick braids, her face flushed from the intense wrestling, and her braids were a bit disheveled.

"Sister Jun!"

Wei Zhenzhen was very familiar with the pair on the bed, she exclaimed in surprise, forgetting to cry.

Jiang Xuejun was startled, looking at Wei Zhenzhen with extreme embarrassment.

There was no way around it, Wei Zhenzhen was Gao Xuan’s ex-girlfriend, and under such circumstances, facing Wei Zhenzhen, Jiang Xuejun felt a bit guilty.

"Zhenzhen, you’re here. I haven’t seen you for some time, you’re even more beautiful and your figure has improved as well..."

Gao Xuan also noticed Wei Zhenzhen, greeted her warmly.

Wei Zhenzhen wanted to get angry, but she knew Gao Xuan’s personality, and throwing a tantrum wouldn’t work.

The key issue was that Gao Xuan had never considered her a girlfriend, and she was aware of this.

But the fact that Jiang Xuejun took advantage of the situation did make her a bit unhappy.

Wei Zhenzhen frowned slightly, looking a bit angry and a bit aggrieved.

"Zhenzhen, why are you standing there, come join us if you’d like."

Gao Xuan waved at Wei Zhenzhen, "I’m telling you, Xuejun is really fun."

"Ah!"

Wei Zhenzhen was a bit surprised that Gao Xuan would do this, she should have turned around and left, but for some reason, she was a bit tempted.

It seemed that joining in might indeed be fun.

"Why think so much, just enjoy it..." Gao Xuan said nonchalantly.

Jiang Xuejun looked at Wei Zhenzhen approaching step by step, getting a bit panicked, "No way?"

But the more this happened, the more thrilling it seemed, and she found herself even more excited, her bright eyes filled with increasing allure...

...

The next day at noon, the Sword Team of Mingjing University arrived at Zhongjing University in a flying car.

"Brother, that’s the Middle Heaven Sword Dojo, which can accommodate 300,000 spectators. Every time there’s a Sword Dao competition, the dojo is filled to capacity. The atmosphere is especially enthusiastic."

Wei Zhenzhen pointed to a huge cyan circular building as she introduced it, her small face full of joy, looking particularly happy.

Jiang Xuejun, sitting next to Wei Zhenzhen, although pretending to be calm, had a somewhat unsteady gaze.

Jiang Xuejun always felt that others looked at her strangely, and she didn’t dare to look at others.

In fact, no one noticed anything, at most Xu Lingyun would say a couple of things in private. The others didn’t have the guts to talk recklessly.

Besides, in the Interstellar Era, relationships between men and women were casual. As long as it wasn’t illegal and was consensual, no one cared how you played.

Wei Zhenzhen was exuberant, her thoughts simpler, just caring about her own happiness, not what others thought.

"The students at Zhongjing University are extremely arrogant, especially that Yuan Hao, he’s simply a megalomaniac."

Wei Zhenzhen was extremely disgusted with Yuan Hao; noble youths were conceited, but someone like Yuan Hao was just perverse.

She said with anticipation, "Brother, you should teach Yuan Hao a good lesson, don’t let him think he’s invincible."

"Just tell me how you want him to lose."

Gao Xuan said considerately, "Whoever Zhenzhen can’t stand, I’ll definitely give them a harsh lesson."

"Brother, you’re so good..."

Wei Zhenzhen hugged Gao Xuan’s face, giving a series of kisses.

Jiang Xuejun couldn’t help but sneer, go ahead and show off, anyway, Gao Xuan will be gone in a month.

Thinking about it, she felt a bit sad. She thought she had won over Gao Xuan, but in the end, it was just a game.

It was probably because of this mindset that she acted so wanton.

Jiang Xuejun comforted herself in her heart, everything had a reason. However, it was indeed quite thrilling and pleasant...

The flying car stopped in front of Zhongjing University’s main gate, as the campus was a no-fly zone.

As the top university on Pegasus Star, Zhongjing University holds exceptional importance. Of course, they couldn’t allow things flying overhead.

The main gate of Zhongjing University was distinctive with thirty white jade dragon-carved pillars arranged in an arc, forming a huge gate over two thousand meters long.

These pillars were over a hundred meters high, seven meters in diameter, and equipped with various scanning devices inside.

Standing before such a unique gate, whether a person or a car, they naturally seemed small.

It further highlighted Zhongjing University’s grand atmosphere.

Xu Lingyun and others craned their necks to admire the giant pillars, their faces filled with unconcealable admiration.

In modern times, with advanced technology, any towering structure could be built. The difficulty was no longer in the construction but in the design.

Just like Zhongjing University’s gate, it was quite simple, just thirty-six giant pillars lined up. This simplicity actually made it particularly impactful, showing the designer’s superb aesthetic sense.

Jiang Yuan, having visited many times, had grown tired of it. He called out, "Get in the car, stop looking. Don’t look like a country bumpkin..."

"You all are country bumpkins by nature."

Yuan Hao swaggered over with a group of people, loudly mocking Jiang Yuan and the others without any courtesy.

Jiang Yuan instantly recognized Yuan Hao, a sword dao genius newly emerged at Zhongjing University this year.

Without Gao Xuan, Yuan Hao should have been this year’s most dazzling star in the Pegasus Star Sword Dao League.

Unfortunately, under Gao Xuan’s dazzling light, Yuan Hao seemed dim and lackluster.

Jiang Yuan slightly frowned and said, "Classmate Yuan Hao, respecting others is the basic etiquette and the most fundamental family discipline."

"A worthless trainer, still at Level 7 at this age, dares to lecture me."

Yuan Hao snorted derisively at Jiang Yuan, his arrogance beyond measure.

Even with his thick skin, Jiang Yuan’s complexion turned a bit unsightly being called a waste in the face by an eighteen-year-old boy.

He said to the Zhongjing University reception staff nearby, "Is this how Zhongjing University treats its guests?"

This staffer also felt a bit awkward and hurriedly explained, "No, no, Yuan Hao is just young and immature. Please don’t be angry."

The reception staff wanted to scold Yuan Hao a few more words, but meeting Yuan Hao’s cold, stern gaze, the words died in his mouth instantly.

This eldest son of the Yuan Family, he truly couldn’t afford to provoke him. Bowing his head, he stayed silent.

Yuan Hao smirked triumphantly, a bunch of low-level wastes, how dare they try to lecture him.

Yuan Hao stepped forward a few steps to Gao Xuan, sizing him up and down, even he had to admit, the casually dressed Gao Xuan looked extremely handsome.

Facing such a person, Yuan Hao felt a bit of regret; had this person been from a noble family, they might have been friends. Unfortunately, he was after all a wild hybrid from the countryside. Unworthy of forming ties.

He said with disdain, "So you’re the Supreme Profound Duck King, Gao Xuan?"

Before Gao Xuan could speak, Wei Zhenzhen flared up immediately, "What did you say!"

Yuan Hao sneered at Wei Zhenzhen, "A country bumpkin girl, this is no place for you to speak."

Unyielding, Wei Zhenzhen wanted to argue with Yuan Hao, but Jiang Xuejun pulled her back.

Girls simply couldn’t outcurse guys. Especially people like Yuan Hao, who knew what offensive things they would say.

Besides, Gao Xuan’s mouth was the sharpest. He’d never lost a verbal fight.

Gao Xuan was actually a bit surprised too; he had encountered university sword teams from different families, and no matter how dismissive they were of him, no one had insulted him to his face.

It wasn’t just a matter of courage; it was a matter of basic courtesy.

Respecting others like self-respect, this was a basic cultivation of swordsmen.

Yuan Hao was indeed the first to provoke and shout directly. And his speech was very vulgar, not much different from directly cursing.

Gao Xuan said to Yuan Hao, "Your barking sounds great, bark a couple more times for me."

This remark was highly insulting; Yuan Hao had never encountered such rudeness.

Enraged, Yuan Hao pointed sternly at Gao Xuan’s nose, "Kid, those who dare curse me don’t live to see the next day."

Gao Xuan didn’t get angry; he said to the Zhongjing University’s reception staff nearby, "Whose dog is this, bringing it out without a leash, careful someone might kill it."
