560: The two are jealous

As he had said, after Undergoing Tribulation, the many guests present all stared at him with rapt attention, especially the female guests.

Even Shi Meitong, who had been chasing Duan Fei, stopped her actions at this moment and stared blankly at Chen Xuan, only feeling her heart rate accelerate.

Seeing Chen Xuan's gaze fall upon her, she blushed and lowered her head.

“Is this what a Prodigy is like? A Tianxian Realm Lightning Tribulation is already terrifying, yet he passed it so easily… If my Yun Family had a Genius like this as a live-in son-in-law…” Yun Ziling stared at Chen Xuan in the air, momentarily lost in thought.

Similarly, Shi Meitong and Yun Ziling were not the only ones in a daze at the scene; there were also many noble ladies and Young Misses of all ages who had come to the banquet.

Only one woman on the high building was an exception; this woman was Ning Xinyou.

However, her expression was also very happy.

Ning Xinyou looked at Yu Guili beside her with full joy and said enthusiastically:

“Congratulations, Guili Gege, I never thought that at such a moment, you would again acquire such a Prodigy. His name is Chen Xuan, right? Having successfully Undergone Tribulation this time, his strength will surely increase greatly. In the future, when we marry… this force will also have more confidence in this vast Cultivation World.”

Her hands were clasped in front of her, her face beaming with undisguised joy, and the admiration in her eyes grew even stronger.

However, Yu Guili’s face instantly darkened, and a trace of unconcealed jealousy and resentment flashed in his eyes.

He snorted coldly, a sneer on his lips, and his tone was full of contempt: “Hmph, this Chen Xuan is just lucky. The Tianxian Realm Lightning Tribulation looks scary, but he probably used some underhanded means to barely get through it. Such a person is not presentable.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Xinyou's face showed a hint of surprise. She subconsciously frowned, and with a touch of confusion in her voice, she said:

“Guili Gege, your words are a bit inappropriate. Chen Xuan’s successful Undergoing Tribulation in front of everyone must be due to his true abilities. Everyone saw with their own eyes his composure when facing the Lightning Tribulation; it’s definitely not something an ordinary person could do.”

Yu Guili impatiently waved his hand, “Xinyou, you are still too naive, you’ve been misled by his temporary appearance. I’ve been struggling on the path of cultivation for so many years, what kind of people haven’t I seen? He’s just relying on his youth and a bit of Opportunity, and he’s already getting carried away. Such a person will definitely suffer a great loss in the future due to his arrogance.”

“But, aren’t we still here? As long as we cultivate him well, he will surely…”

Upon hearing this, Yu Guili’s face grew even more unsightly. His hands clenched tightly into fists, and the fire of jealousy burned fiercely in his eyes.

He inexplicably found Chen Xuan disagreeable, and he didn't know why. At this moment, hearing the woman he had designated for himself still speaking up for Chen Xuan, he only felt a burning anger in his heart.

“Hmph, what do you know! It’s all just superficial. I think he’s deliberately showing off in front of everyone, especially those women; they’re all enchanted by his little tricks.

Take Yun Family’s Shi Meitong and Yun Ziling, for example. They usually have such high standards, yet now they’ve lost their composure over that kid Chen Xuan. And those vulgar women at the banquet, they are simply undignified.”

Ning Xinyou looked at Yu Guili’s somewhat distorted face, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. She had always regarded the man in front of her as her hero, but at this moment, his manner of slandering others made her feel somewhat unfamiliar.

But years of admiration quickly suppressed this unusual feeling, and she softly said: “Guili Gege, you are definitely stronger than him, but Young Master Chen is our subordinate after all. He did perform very well this time, and we can’t completely ignore his existence, can we? As long as we cultivate him properly, he will still…”

Yu Guili no longer cared to listen to what Ning Xinyou said next. He just stared intently at Chen Xuan, secretly calculating how to suppress his limelight and redirect everyone's attention back to himself.

‘Cultivate? My purpose in coming here is to raise my own value! Now, I see him as here to steal my thunder. If this continues, who will care about me, Yu Guili? I’ve worked hard for so many years, how can I let a mere youngster easily take all of this away.’

…

On Chen Xuan’s side, he had just finished Undergoing Tribulation and was still sensing his own energy when he suddenly heard curses coming from beside him.

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Duan Fei, dressed in a security guard uniform, like a pufferfish about to explode with anger, jumping up and down and cursing at him.

Yun Ziling’s gaze had not moved from this kid since he began Undergoing Tribulation until now, which made him, the Dragon King, feel a bit overheated.

Moreover, all the women in the entire venue had not moved their gaze!

“You wild kid who appeared out of nowhere, you just barely survived the Lightning Tribulation by luck, and you dare to show off here, without even looking at your own character!”

The surrounding crowd, hearing the harsh shouts, all cast surprised glances. The atmosphere, which had just been immersed in the shock of Chen Xuan’s Undergoing Tribulation, was instantly broken by this sudden farce.

Yun Ziling saw her husband’s loss of composure, and a hint of embarrassment and displeasure flashed across her face, her brows tightly furrowed.

Similarly, Shi Meitong, who had been immersed in her admiration for Chen Xuan, was interrupted by Duan Fei’s sudden shouting. Her eyebrows instantly shot up, her almond eyes widened, and she angrily shouted:

“Duan Fei, what are you going crazy about! Shut up!” Saying so, she flashed, instantly appearing in front of Duan Fei.

“You dead live-in son-in-law, shut up!” Shi Meitong roared, raising her hand and delivering a slap. A crisp “smack” echoed particularly clearly in the quiet venue.

Duan Fei was knocked off balance by the slap, and a bright red handprint quickly appeared on his face.

He looked at Shi Meitong in disbelief, covering his burning cheek, and stammered: “Mother… You… How could you hit me?”

“You useless thing! Who’s your mother? If you dare to talk nonsense again, don’t blame me for making Ling'er divorce you directly! Anyway, our Ling'er is still pure and untainted!” Shi Meitong glared at Duan Fei and said.

Duan Fei covered his swollen face, his eyes full of anger and disdain. He didn’t expect his mother-in-law to lay such a heavy hand on him for an outsider. “Mother-in-law, you… you actually hit me for him! Do you know who I am? I am…”

Upon hearing this, Yun Ziling also quickly stepped forward, looking at Duan Fei with a frosty expression, and with a “smack,” she delivered a slap, then coldly said:

“Duan Fei, I didn’t expect that after we’ve been married for so long, you are still daydreaming! You’ve disappointed me too much. If it weren’t for your years of hard work in the Yun Family, just for your disrespectful act towards Young Master Chen, I would definitely make you suffer!”
