The villain in the book: Lost all cultivation, the heroine reversed
Chapter 13: Arrogant Xiao Ye gets slapped in the face
Qianyuan City.
Outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Under the shade of the trees, a dozen young men and women in gorgeous clothes were talking and laughing, each of them had maids and servants fanning them, pouring them wine, and feeding them fresh fruits from time to time. They looked so comfortable and enjoying themselves.
These were the descendants of prominent families in the city, and the reason they had gathered in front of the mansion was simply because they had heard that a disciple from Ziyun Peak, one of the six branches of the Qingming Sect, was temporarily residing in the City Lord's Mansion.
If you don’t have talent, you can make up for it with connections.
Their ancestors had more or less been disciples of the Qingming Sect, and there were even elders in the clan who were serving as elders in the Qingming Sect. Therefore, they wanted to rely on the connection with their ancestors to see if they could get in through the back door.
They don't necessarily have to become formal disciples. Even being registered disciples is enough to significantly improve their status in the family.
After all, that’s Ziyun Peak!
In the entire Beifu, everyone knows that the master of Ziyun Peak is the youngest True Lord of Transformation in the history of Qingming Sect!
Even the elders in Qingming Sect sent back a message, which hinted that the Sect Master of Qingming Sect was extremely fond of Xu Yang and seemed to intend to train him to be the next Sect Master!
This is also the main reason why they come to visit.
at the same time.
Outside the shade of the trees, the painting style is completely different.
I saw an ordinary-looking young man standing motionless under the scorching sun, sweat running down his face, but he was not moved at all, his expression was firm, and his whole body exuded a tenacious and self-reliant temperament, as if he had an unyielding and proud character.
"Disciple, how about we find a shady place to stay for a while?"
Li Lao's voice rang out from the jade pendant.
"No, Master, the visiting card has already been sent in. Maybe Xue Jinli is watching me now. If I back down now, won't all my efforts be in vain?"
Xiao Ye rejected it with one word.
"Disciple, have you ever thought about why only your visiting card was sent in?"
Master Li felt that it was necessary to give some advice to his disciple.
"Isn't this obvious? The city lord saw that I have extraordinary talent and wanted to make friends with me in advance, so he accepted my disciple's visiting card!"
Xiao Ye said confidently.
"Well……"
Li Lao didn't know what face to show.
As an old monster who can calculate all the secrets of heaven, he can see through people's hearts very clearly. The reason why City Lord Shangguan accepted Xiao Ye's visiting card was because he couldn't figure out Xue Jinli's attitude and wanted to test the waters through Xiao Ye's visiting card. If Xue Jinli accepted it, everyone would be happy. If Xue Jinli didn't accept it, it wouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, it would be Xiao Ye who would bear the consequences. A young man with no power, no influence, and no connections could not cause any waves.
But his own disciple was completely unaware of it and even looked complacent, which really gave him a headache!
"Master, tell me, what attitude should I adopt when I see Senior Sister Xue later? Should I be neither humble nor overbearing, or gentle and considerate..."
"According to what you said, Master, Senior Sister Xue is my destined one. If she falls in love with me at first sight, what should I do..."
"...Master, why don't you speak?"
Xiao Ye had some obscene fantasies in his mind, but without his master's agreement, he always felt that something was missing.
“…”
I am a little speechless when I think about Lao.
What did he say? What could he say? Did he say, "Congratulations to the two newlyweds, wishing you a happy marriage and a son soon"?
I haven't even met the person yet, but I'm already starting to have wild thoughts.
What would happen if we really met?
Based on Xiao Ye's lustful personality, he would probably turn into a werewolf on the spot!
He is so ordinary, but he thinks that all the women in the world will like him and revolve around him. I don't know who gave him the confidence.
"Disciple, if you really meet Xue Jinli, I hope you can perform normally. After all, with your charm, as long as you perform at 50% of your level, it will be enough to conquer Xue Jinli!"
Li Lao pinched his nose and said these words against his will.
"Master, you really understand me!"
Xiao Ye was deeply moved, and just as he finished speaking——
Squeak...
The gate of the mansion opened.
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler came out, looked around, and said lightly:
"Who among you is Xiao Ye?"
Xiao Ye was so excited that he almost fainted. He said to the jade pendant excitedly:
"Master, it's just as you predicted. Xue Jinli actually wants to see me!"
"Disciple, calm down, there are so many people watching you!"
Li Lao's warning voice came from the jade pendant.
"Master taught me that I must not lose my composure at this moment. I must give Senior Sister Xue a perfect first impression!"
Xiao Ye said hurriedly.
Then he suppressed his inner excitement, and casually glanced at the young man and girl under the shade of the tree. He snorted with contempt, then straightened his robe and walked towards the housekeeper without any pretense, his eyes were defiant and his tone was arrogant:
"My name is Xiao Ye, please lead the way, butler!"
"What road do you want to take me?" The butler swung his sleeves and threw the crumpled visiting card at Xiao Ye, saying impatiently:
"Just answer quickly when I call you. You've been taking so long that people would think you're deaf!"
“…”
Xiao Ye was a little confused. He stared blankly at the crumpled visiting card on the ground.
After the butler finished speaking, he stepped over the dazed Xiao Ye and walked towards the group of young men in brocade clothes under the shade of the tree, with a flattering smile on his face:
"This old servant greets all the young masters and young ladies. My master has specifically asked me to explain to you that it is not that he does not help to present your visiting cards, but that the envoy Xue does not like to use the back door."
"So that's how it is. Thank you for your concern, Lord City Lord!"
The young man and young lady in brocade clothes suddenly realized.
"It's my job, so why bother about it? My master also said that the weather is so hot, and you gentlemen and ladies are precious. Don't get burned by the sun. Go home quickly!"
The housekeeper said again.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your concern!"
Everyone stood up and saluted.
After the butler finished speaking, he went back.
Crunch——
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion closed again.
Unbridled laughter then rang out from under the shade of the tree.
"Hahaha, thanks to the big fool next to us who blazed the trail for us, otherwise we would be the ones who offended Master Xue!"
"I don't know if you noticed that when this fool heard the butler calling his name just now, he looked so proud!"
"Not only that, he even looked at us with disdain. I guess this fool thought he had won the favor of Envoy Xue!"
"Oh, just him? He's ugly but he has beautiful dreams!"
"You are indeed a ignorant country boy, huh~"
"No more talking. It's too hot today. I have to go home as soon as possible to get some ice to cool off. Goodbye!"
Amidst laughter and joy, young men and women from all ethnic groups left in sedan chairs.
Soon, Xiao Ye was the only one left in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
He looked dazed and his eyes were a little confused, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened.
When the butler threw the visiting card at him, he dug his toes into the ground in embarrassment and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Later, when he heard the wanton laughter of those playboys, he felt like killing himself on the spot.
Why is this happening?
Ever since he was hunted by his enemies, he has never felt so humiliated as he is now!
Along the way, as long as it was the opportunity or the woman he wanted, there was nothing he couldn't get, it was very easy!
But ever since he became involved with the Qingming Sect, he was first hacked half to death by a sword, and now he was humiliated in such a way that his face was almost rubbed on the ground!
This made it difficult for him not to doubt——
"Master, give me an explanation!"
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and questioned.
"Disciple, how can you blame your master?"
Li Lao was speechless.
"Master, didn't you say that Qingming Sect is my destiny? Then Xue Jinli is my destiny? Why has it turned out like this now?"
Xiao Ye said angrily.
“It is indeed true that the secret is so.
But your master also told you that your chance will come at the Immortal Ascension Conference in three days!
It was you, my disciple, who did not listen to my advice and insisted on sending me the visiting card now. Now you are slapped in the face. How can you blame me for this?"
Li Lao refused to take the blame.
Xiao Ye's face suddenly froze: "..."
