Chapter 911 - To Stay or To Leave (1)

Shen Yanxiao was furious. How could she stand being suspected for no reason? Furthermore, Gu Feng had been as noisy as a parrot the entire journey. She was already unhappy with the son, and now, an even more annoying old man had appeared. Who would want to waste their time with this pair of weirdos?

Even though Blizzard City was a great city, it was not comparable to her Sun Never Sets. Even though Long Fei’s wealth was coveted, it was not of any value to her.

Shen Yanxiao did not hesitate to say that she wanted to leave. Both Long Fei and Gu Lan were stunned.

Long Fei was surprised that the young man had a straightforward personality. He did not show any signs of deference or concession because of Gu Lan’s identity. The fact that she had stated her intention to leave so directly meant that she was not interested in Blizzard City.

Long Fei already felt that Shen Yanxiao did not harbor any ill intentions, so he was even more sure about now after that exchange.

Gu Lan was surprised that Shen Yanxiao would leave so soon, he rejoiced.

The reason why he was acting rudely to Shen Yanxiao was because of his son, Gu Feng.

Even though Long Xueyao and Fang Qiu did not mention Gu Lan’s performance when they recounted their encounter with the demons, Gu Lan, who knew his son well, knew that he would not have any remarkable performance.

Gu Lan had always wanted Gu Feng and Long Xueyao to be together. Long Fei only had one daughter, Long Xueyao, and he had no intention to remarry. After Long Fei passed away, Blizzard City and the Blizzard Mercenary Group would fall into Long Xueyao’s hands. Whoever could marry Long Xueyao would be able to take over Blizzard City and the Blizzard Mercenary Group.

Shen Yanxiao’s spectacular performance threatened Gu Lan. Even though the young man had an average appearance, he was quite powerful. When he saw Long Xueyao’s description of Shen Yanxiao’s heroic actions, Gu Lan knew that she had a good impression of him.

To prevent Long Xueyao from having more thoughts about Shen Yanxiao, Gu Lan could only shift the blame onto Shen Yanxiao.

He wanted to eliminate a potential rival for his son.

Thus, Gu Lan was happy that Shen Yanxiao had agreed to leave so readily.

It did not matter if the kid was good or bad. The most important thing was to have him get out of Long Xueyao’s sight!

Unfortunately, even though he could not wait for Shen Yanxiao to leave Blizzard City, some people did not want her to leave so soon.

“Shen Jue, you have been on the road for so many days and you have been fighting with demons for the past few days. For the whole journey, you have not been able to rest well. At the end of the day, you have saved my life. If I were to let my benefactor leave in such an exhausted state, wouldn’t I, Long Xueyao, be an ungrateful person?” When she saw that Shen Yanxiao was about to leave in anger, Long Xueyao hastily stepped forward to comfort her.

Long Xueyao understood what Gu Lan was implying, but she was the person involved in the incident. Naturally, she knew that Shen Yanxiao would not have teamed up with those two advanced-ranked demons. When Shen Yanxiao fought with those two demons, she saw everything clearly from her high vantage point. She had defeated her opponent with her own strength.

Long Xueyao was angry and anxious when her benefactor was doubted by her elders. However, due to the relationship between Gu Lan and her father, she could only stop Shen Yanxiao from leaving.

Shen Yanxiao frowned. She was unhappy with the Gu family, but she appreciated Long Xueyao’s character.
