Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

“The sky is already dark, why is Boss not out yet?”

In a small hall inside the Nangong Clan’s merchant association, Qian Wanguan and Huangfu Taotian were seated and having tea. When seeing the cold and cheerless street outside the window, Qian Wanguan got a little anxious. He looked at Huangfu Taotian and asked, “Big Brother Huangfu, could something have happened?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Huangfu Taotian smiled faintly and said, “No worries. Even if something happened, it is something good. Brother Jiang’s soul spirit toughness is very good, and the Ghost Noise inside the Mystic Realm cannot hurt him. It is possible he might have some comprehension. Do you have something on? You can go first; I will wait for him here.”

Qian Wanguan did have something arranged. He muttered for a moment and nodded. “Big Brother Taotian, you just stay here and rest then. I will make a trip to the Situ Small Construct, and I will come back to find you later on. Young Lady Yinian has invited me for a banquet tonight, and it wouldn’t be good if I didn’t go.”

“You go then.”

Huangfu Taotian waved his hand and transmitted a message when he thought of something: “Wanguan, I feel that it is better for you to set a distance from Situ Yinian. That lass is a fox spirit. The men who made contact with her would normally lose their direction after getting dazzled by her. If you are to sink too deep, you will be the one that is hurt in the end.”

Qian Wanguan’s eyes dimmed a little before he nodded and led a few guards along with him. At the moment when he walked out of the small hall, his eyes turned fiery again. Huangfu Taotian shook his head with a bitter smile as his advice seemed to be too late as Qian Wanguan had already been bewitched with Situ Yinian.

Huangfu Taotian realized something when he thought about the methods of the Situ Clan’s young lady. These young ladies of the great clans had received training on how to hook up and play with men. If Situ Yinian had the intention to play with Qian Wanguan, she simply had to use a few methods; and Qian Wanguan would definitely not be able to find his direction.

The young ladies of the great clans had always been a recruitment method for young talents. These young ladies were all fox spirits and had complete control of the men they played. They would never reveal their true thoughts. They wouldn’t let one succeed either and would only have a vague relationship with one while they wandered in a group of men. In the end, they couldn’t decide who to marry as the clans’ elders would make their analysis on which clan to unite with marriage to gain the most benefits. They would then make the final decision to marry the young ladies.

Qian Wanguan was also someone that was rather knowledgeable and had seen many beauties but was too simple for Situ Yinian if she truly wanted to play with him. She could make Qian Wanguan submit under her at any moment she wanted. If Qian Wanguan was truly Master Yi Piaopiao, then there might be room for discussions, but he wasn’t. Hence, being dazzled by Situ Yinian would only end in a tragedy.

“It seems like I have to discuss this with Brother Jiang. Before Wanguan sinks too deep, we have to sever the feelings. Otherwise, if he gets too deep, he will ultimately… end up suffering for an entire life like me.”

Huangfu Taotian let out a deep sigh and drank the tea that was in his mouth before he went into a meditative state in the small hall.

…

Buzz!

More than two hours later, Huangfu Taotian opened his eyes suddenly and revealed a smile. He walked out with large steps, and as expected, he saw Jiang Yi had teleported out and was standing in the small hall.

He transmitted a message: “What was it? Did Brother Jiang gain anything?”

“Hehe!”

Jiang Yi grinned and nodded. “It should be considered a small gain as I fused yet another dao pattern. I am left with two low-grade dao patterns to fuse, and my high-grade dao pattern will be complete.”

“Hahaha!”

Huangfu Taotian laughed loudly and nodded. “You are truly a genius. I am looking forward to the day Brother Jiang’s high-grade dao pattern is completed. I wonder what star rank it would be.”

Jiang Yi took a look outside the window and saw that the sky was dark. He transmitted a message and asked with doubt: “Has Wanguan gone back?”

“He didn’t.”

Huangfu Taotian’s expression turned dark as he transmitted a message with a serious look: “He went to look for Situ Yinian. Brother Jiang, if you have the time, try to convince Wanguan to not visit the Situ Small Construct so often.”

“En.”

Jiang Yi understood the reasoning as well. He walked together with Huangfu Taotian and out of the Nangong Clan’s merchant association. When Jiang Yi saw the desolate streets and empty plaza, he paused his footsteps.

He looked towards the Situ Clan’s castle complex while his eyes flickered and said, “Big Brother Huangfu, shall we go the Situ Small Construct to take a look?”

Qian Wanguan was Jiang Yi’s brother, and he naturally didn’t want to see Qian Wanguan be in any harm. Qian Wanguan had never been in a serious relationship, and he might have truly fallen in love this time. Jiang Yi was very concerned about him, wanted to go check out the situation, and see if he could persuade Qian Wanguan.

“Alright then!”

Huangfu Taotian hated interacting with the members of the four major clans the most, but since Jiang Yi spoke, he didn’t want to reject him. After all, he had already decided for Jiang Yi to be his master for the next ten years.

The guards had all followed along with Qian Wanguan, and the duo didn’t have a carriage. They had no choice but to walk to the Situ Clan’s castle complex. When they were walking on the plaza, they would occasionally walk past the patrolling city guards, but when they saw Huangfu Taotian, no one dared to check them. No one even dared to come close as they were afraid of infuriating this lunatic.

The Situ Clan’s castle complex was also located behind the Situ Merchant Association in the Gods Bestow Plaza. When the duo reached the courtyard gates, the gatekeeper saw Huangfu Taotian from far away and went in to report. An Outer Affairs Supervisor quickly came over to welcome and spoke with cupped hands, “We are honored by the presence of Young Master Huangfu. Apologies for not going out to welcome you. I have already ordered someone to inform Young Master Yixiao and Young Lady Yinian. Please come in quickly.”

As Jiang Yi was walking behind Huangfu Taotian, that supervisor didn’t pay any special attention. He simply smiled and nodded to Jiang Yi which was already giving a lot of face.

Huangfu Taotian nodded arrogantly and brought Jiang Yi straight inside. The supervisor gave a flattering smile and led the duo. Inside the Situ Clan were also rows of castles, and they walked around so much that Jiang Yi got dazzled. After 15 minutes, the supervisor pointed at a small castle at the front and said, “Young Master Huangfu, we have arrived at the Situ Small Construct.”

Huangfu Taotian had been here many times and naturally knew this place well. He nodded indifferently, and before he even got near the castle gates, he noticed two individuals walking out. Situ Yixiao and Situ Yinian had personally come out to welcome him.

Situ Yixiao was wearing a white embroidered robe which portrayed his clean image very well and was very elegant, too. Situ Yinian was wearing a black evening dress which exposed her beautiful shoulders, and she had light makeup. Her every frown and smile was captivating, which made Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian even more concerned.

Huangfu Taotian exchanged greetings with the two of them. When Situ Yinian saw that Huangfu Taotian had brought along Jiang Yi, her beautiful eyes were flowing with light waves. She looked at Jiang Yi with affection eyes and asked, “Big Brother Huangfu, are you not going to introduce your companion to us?”

“This is the Master’s friend.”

Huangfu Taotian knew that Jiang Yi didn’t like being high-profile. Hence, he casually replied and didn’t even mention his family name. Situ Yinian still maintained that smiling expression and nodded to Jiang Yi. She was indeed very adept at social interactions.

Situ Yixiao smiled and nodded to Jiang Yi as well before they led the duo inside. The Situ Small Construct had rather good decorations, but it didn’t seem too luxurious as it gave off a refined feeling instead. Situ Yinian had great tastes which gave an unsophisticated person like Jiang Yi a big eye-opener.

When they entered a large hall, Situ Yixiao entered with hearty laughter and said, “Hahaha, everyone, let us welcome Big Brother Huangfu’s arrival.”

When Jiang Yi walked in with Huangfu Taotian, his expression changed when he took a glance inside as Lei Qiyan, Lu Lin, and Lu Yu were actually here. Many of the 13 Clans’ young masters and young ladies were also here.

“En?”

Lu Lin took a glance at Huangfu Taotian and casually took a look at Jiang Yi. His eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of bewilderment as his divine senses instantly extended over. His body burst out with killing aura as he stood up abruptly. He pointed at Jiang Yi and said, “Hahaha, I searched far and wide and spend a lot of effort to finally find you. Little bastard, I shall see how are you going to escape this time?”

“God damn it, Lu Lin checked my soul spirit aura presence!” Jiang Yi cursed and swore. He never would have expected for Lu Lin to actually be here and immediately exposed his identity.
