Chapter 626: Participants Convene (II)
The two young men headed toward Zhou Ziyuns direction. Many eyeballs followed their movement, many almost salivating at the combination of Huang Yaoying and Deng Lun. One was the epitome of manliness while the other exuded a calm and scholarly temperament. They were a perfect match and together, could satisfy the appetites of all women in the world.
Zhou Ziyuns expression narrowed as they stopped a few paces from her. The other participants had all stopped talking and were staring at the trio. The forested arena also seemed to have gone silent all of the sudden. She could feel their invisible pressure intensify, as many tens of thousands of women were fiercely glaring at her.
Her lips tightened into a slight frown. She was not usually the type to act narrow-minded or petty in front of strangers. That was more of Lin Qingchengs style. However, it didnt mean that she was a pushover. As Chen Wentians second disciple and the one largely in charge of the day-to-day operations of the sect, she was the boss, a true boss.en, are you lost? She asked.
Huang Yaoyings smile faltered ever so slightly before recovering, You are Zhou Ziyun of Ten Thousand Flower Valley? Well met. Well met! I didnt think I would meet a disciple of the famous Immortal Blue Dragon at this Great Dao Preaching Event. A pleasant surprise, surely.
Oh? I didnt know you are a fan of my master. She replied.
Huang Yaoying let out a burst of laughter, Miss Zhous joke is sharp and vigorous. Hahaha! I am not but actually; my brother Deng here is a tremendous fan of your master!
Saying that, he slapped a palm on Deng Luns shoulder and laughed some more.
Deng Lun didnt react strongly and merely brushed the hand off of his shoulder. He cast a light smile toward Zhou Ziyun and said, Please dont misunderstand, Miss Zhou. I am not a fan of your master but I am a little fascinated by you.
Me? Zhou Ziyun said in surprise.
She looked this frail-looking scholar up and down again. He had on a simple outfit of a slightly peach color. It matched his demeanor; clean, reliable, and conservative. Although he couldnt be considered strikingly handsome, his features were pleasant to look at. There were also hints of mysterious qualities waiting to be discovered if only one was patient enough to get to know him.
Not everyone could come to the exact same conclusion but the gist was the same. This person was unnatural, definitely someone to watch out for!
Zhou Ziyun furrowed her brow and stared at Deng Lun. She thought about it and then asked, Sir Deng, do you have a problem with me?
This was a judgment she had come up with rather quickly. She felt that this person named Deng Lun acted calm and benign on the surface but hid many emotions beneath the surface. His gaze was deep and mysterious. She could only conclude that he was far more complicated than someone like Huang Yaoying who seemed to wear his emotions on the outside.
She tried to guess what kind of person he truly was. Her best guess was that it had something to do with his sect, the Lotus Tower.
It was known that all core members of the sect were men, handsome and talented men that were rarely found across the land. And if the rumors were true, all these men were members of Gong Liyuns harem. The sect operated less like a sect and more like a personal playground for a horny old granny.
She suppressed a smirk from imagining Deng Lun having to perform sexual acts on a wrinkled old monster like Gong Liyun. No wonder he was in such a bad mood. Anyone would be. It was only natural. Just the thought of it made her want to throw up. For a young man in his prime, regardless of what awesome benefits he received in return, it was still a tough life.
Even so, she still wasnt sure if he was a good person or a bad person so she decided on a wait-and-see approach.
Do you perhaps dislike me for some reason? She probed.
Deng Luns mouth twitched but he remained silent. It seemed that he was also contemplating various matters. And before he could respond, another voice joined the fray, ringing bright and vibrant through crowd noise.
Sister Zhou, are these smelly men bothering you? Ill help you get rid of them!
