90: Chapter 90 Shangguan Feiyun
"Huh?" Xiang Tian was momentarily stunned.
He looked with surprise at the women gathered together not far away.
He saw Yan Qingyu looking at him, a hint of a smile hidden in her eyes.
She even secretly winked at him.
The next second, a soft sound transmission entered his Sea of Consciousness.
"Strive to take her as your own woman. Go for it, I believe in you."
Xiang Tian was completely dumbfounded.
This was the first time he had ever encountered his own wife actively recommending a woman to him.
He suppressed the astonishment in his heart.
He stood up and said to Ouyang Yunyan, "Let's go!"
"Mm." Ouyang Yunyan replied.
The two walked out of the Ouyang Family side by side.
They stepped onto the bustling streets of the Imperial City.
"Candied haws! Sweet and sour, delicious candied haws!"
"Freshly steamed hot buns, thin skin and big fillings!"
"Please come in, guest, we have a fine private room reserved!"
...
The streets were filled with voices, a scene of lively activity.
Walking along the way, Xiang Tian felt a bit bored.
He asked casually, "Ouyang Yunyan, why on earth do you want me to pretend to be your Dao Companion?"
In the bustling crowd, the two walked side by side.
Their expressions were distant, making them look more like two incompatible outsiders.
More like a pair of strangers deliberately walking together.
"It's just to reject someone." Ouyang Yunyan's expression was indifferent, her tone lacking any fluctuation.
Xiang Tian paused his steps and raised an eyebrow at her, "With that attitude, it's hard for me to put my heart into helping you."
"I don't like the Second Prince's cousin; the reason is that simple." Ouyang Yunyan turned her head away.
Avoiding his gaze, her voice remained flat.
Xiang Tian's brows furrowed instantly.
How did it get involved with the Imperial Family?
Seeing him like this, the corners of Ouyang Yunyan's mouth curled into a provocative arc.
"What, are you afraid?"
"Provocation doesn't work on me." Xiang Tian sneered.
He said confidently, "In this life, I, Xiang Tian, have never feared anyone."
Let alone a Prince's cousin.
Even the Evil Dragon, didn't it still become his pet?
"That's true, you really haven't feared anyone." Ouyang Yunyan recalled Xiang Tian's heroic deeds when passing through the Secret Realm.
Her gaze softened a little, "Only a person like you is qualified to pretend to be my Dao Companion."
She paused.
She added, "His name is Shangguan Feiyun."
"Shangguan Feiyun?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow.
The Shangguan Family is also one of the top major Families in the Imperial City, with a deep foundation.
"It seems that in your heart, I am much stronger than that Shangguan Feiyun." He teased intentionally.
"Stop being so conceited." Ouyang Yunyan rolled her eyes at him.
Her gaze suddenly focused, "We're here."
After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath.
She took the initiative to reach out and hold onto Xiang Tian's arm, her movements slightly stiff.
A faint blush quietly rose on her cheeks.
Xiang Tian followed her gaze.
He saw an imposing building standing in front.
The four golden characters "Zhou's Restaurant" above the lintel were particularly eye-catching.
This restaurant was golden in its entirety and occupied a vast area.
It was about the size of a campus.
It was three stories high, with flying eaves, upturned corners, and carved beams and painted pillars.
One look and you could tell it wasn't a place ordinary families could afford to patronize.
"Yo, isn't this Young Miss Yunyan of the Ouyang Family?" The two had just reached the entrance.
An old woman dressed in silks and satins, looking opulent, came up to them with a face full of smiles.
"Please come in quickly, Young Master Feiyun has been waiting for a long time in the Jia-grade private room on the third floor."
"Shopkeeper, no need for formalities." Ouyang Yunyan's face was devoid of ripples.
Her tone was cold, "I came today specifically to reject Shangguan Feiyun."
"Young Miss Yunyan is joking." The old woman's smile remained unchanged.
"It's good that you could come; within this Imperial City, there are really not many men who can compare to Young Master Feiyun."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over Xiang Tian.
Seeing the two with arms linked, their posture intimate.
Her brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
But she didn't ask any more questions, turning to lead them up to the third floor.
Arriving outside the private room.
The old woman knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock!"
"Young Master Feiyun, Young Miss Yunyan is here."
"Creak—"
The door was quickly opened, and a youth dressed in a golden brocade robe appeared at the door.
This youth had a handsome face and an ostentatious Aura.
In his past life, he would undoubtedly be the type of idol that young girls would chase after.
"Little Sister Yunyan, come in and sit." Shangguan Feiyun's face was filled with a warm smile, and he stepped aside to clear the way.
His gaze, however, only fell on Ouyang Yunyan.
He didn't notice Xiang Tian beside her at all.
"No need." Ouyang Yunyan stopped at the door, her feet not moving.
Her tone was cold, "Shangguan Feiyun, I came today to tell you that I already have a Dao Companion, so don't pester me again in the future."
"What did you say?" The smile on Shangguan Feiyun's face froze instantly.
His expression sank abruptly, "You have a Dao Companion? In this Imperial City, is there still someone who dares to snatch a woman from me, Shangguan Feiyun?"
Only then.
Did he finally move his gaze to Xiang Tian.
He happened to see the scene of Ouyang Yunyan holding Xiang Tian's arm.
Fury instantly surged into his heart, and his Aura suddenly burst forth.
"So it's you, this brat, who dares to snatch my woman?"
"Shangguan Feiyun, what do you want to do?" Ouyang Yunyan's dark brows furrowed tightly.
She stepped forward to block in front of Xiang Tian and shouted sternly.
Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
This woman is actually quite loyal.
Perhaps his impression of her was too rigid before, only thinking she had a fiery temper.
But he hadn't discovered this side of her that protected people.
"What do I want to do?" Shangguan Feiyun sneered.
"I want to test exactly what kind of trash you are, that you dare to be worthy of Little Sister Yunyan!"
As his voice fell, he raised his hand and slapped toward Xiang Tian.
"Shangguan Feiyun, if you dare to make a move, don't blame our Ouyang Family for fighting you to the bitter end!" Ouyang Yunyan warned sternly.
Her body was tense, ready to intervene at any moment.
"Ouyang Family?" Shangguan Feiyun snorted disdainfully.
"In the Imperial City, you're just a bottom-tier existence, yet you dare to challenge my Shangguan Family?"
Xiang Tian gently pushed Ouyang Yunyan, who was blocking in front of him, to the side.
He stepped forward, facing Shangguan Feiyun's Aura directly.
His eyes were cold, "Shangguan Feiyun, right? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
"Oh? You have some guts, but I don't know if your strength can keep up with your guts." Shangguan Feiyun looked Xiang Tian up and down.
Contempt in his eyes, "No talent, cultivation is mediocre, and you don't even look as good as me. I really don't understand what Little Sister Yunyan sees in you."
"Do you mean you want to have a match with me?" Xiang Tian was also sizing up Shangguan Feiyun.
He already had a judgment in his heart.
This guy only has the cultivation of a Martial King Late Stage.
He couldn't always let Ouyang Yunyan protect him, especially after what just happened.
He had already seen that this woman's nature wasn't bad.
"Yo, you actually dare to take the initiative to challenge me?" Shangguan Feiyun raised an eyebrow.
As if he had heard some joke, "Your courage is quite admirable. Could it be that Ouyang Yunyan just took a fancy to this foolishness of yours?"
"Stop the nonsense, just say whether you dare to compete or not?" Xiang Tian couldn't be bothered to dawdle with him.
"You're even more eager to seek death than me? Very well, this Young Master will fulfill your wish." Shangguan Feiyun smiled indifferently.
He then added, "However, our match must be held under the witness of everyone in this restaurant, how about that?"
"No problem." Xiang Tian nodded without hesitation.
"Refreshing!" A smile of certainty appeared on Shangguan Feiyun's face.
He turned his head and instructed the old woman at the door, "Shopkeeper, gather everyone in the restaurant to the backyard; this Young Master wants to have a martial arts match here!"
"Understood, Young Master Feiyun!" The old woman quickly replied.
She turned and walked quickly to pass the message.
A moment later.
The backyard of Zhou's Restaurant was crowded with people.
Fortunately, this courtyard was spacious enough to accommodate so many onlookers.
In the center of the courtyard.
Xiang Tian and Shangguan Feiyun stood opposite each other, their eyes clashing.
The atmosphere was tense!
"Xiang Tian, I know you have some skills, but he is, after all, a Martial King Late Stage, are you sure you can beat him?" Ouyang Yunyan walked to Xiang Tian's side.
She asked via sound transmission in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Her tone carried undisguisable worry.
"What, does the Young Miss Ouyang not hate me anymore?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow.
He responded via sound transmission as well.
"I said, if you help me accomplish this, the grudges between us will be wiped clean." Ouyang Yunyan's expression was serious.
"Furthermore, as a Prodigy of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Feiyun relies on his strength to bully men and women in the Imperial City, with a track record of misdeeds. Although you were rude to me before, at least you haven't done such harmful things; on this point alone, you are much better than him."
"Wiped clean, you said that yourself." Xiang Tian nodded slightly.
The two looked at each other during this sound transmission.
To onlookers, it instead looked like they were flirting.
Shangguan Feiyun was already burning with rage; seeing this, his Aura surged again.
"Looking for death!"
He let out a low shout.
He unleashed his famous stunt, "Flying Leg," and kicked violently toward Xiang Tian.
Xiang Tian, however, was unhurried, his body shifting slightly to the side.
He easily dodged the kick.
He pondered inwardly.
First, slap this arrogant guy, then have a proper duel with him later!
