1647 I Won’t Return Empty-Handed (3)
His body was straight and his clothes were neat without any wrinkles. He had a gentle and powerful smile on his face and the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge. He chuckled and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose habitually with one slender finger. A beam of light quickly flashed through the glasses.
“Why is the receptionist of the Summoning Union here?” Yun Feng raised her brows and looked at the receptionist in front of her, whom she couldn’t be more familiar with. She was extremely puzzled in her mind, but she wasn’t surprised at all. When Ling appeared, he gave people a mysterious feeling. Yun Feng had never let down her guard against him. Even though he always looked like a polite gentleman and never had any thoughts about her, Yun Feng still wouldn’t let down her guard and was faintly vigilant. It seemed that she was right to be vigilant instinctively in the past.
It was impossible for him to appear here at such a time and in such a way.
“It’s time for you to show your fox tail,” said Qu Lanyi in disdain. The man with gold-rimmed eyes glanced over. “I don’t have much of a relationship with you.”
Qu Lanyi smiled. “You must know who I am. Stop pretending.”
Ling smiled gently and politely. “How boring, Young Master of the Naxi family.”
Yun Feng was shocked! Ling knew Qu Lanyi’s identity? How exactly did he know about the Young Master of the Naxi family? Even though there were rumors about the Young Master of the Naxi family in the Inner Region that he was on good terms with the Young Lady of the Yun family, Lanyi was not the only man who had been around her!
“You’re not surprised at all. You must’ve known who I am a long time ago.” Qu Lanyi raised his brows and pulled Yun Feng closer to him. He stared at the man in front of him, who was still gentle and polite, with his black eyes. “And I certainly have to find your entire tail before I stop.”
“Oh? It seems that you got something?” Ling crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood there quietly with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.
“There are usually only two kinds of people who make me uncomfortable at first glance.” Ling chuckled with interest after hearing what Qu Lanyi said. He raised his brows and waited for his answer.
“One of them is a love rival, and the other… is a guy with a similar status, including the bloodline flowing in his body! I think this might be because of the repulsion of the same kind,” said Qu Lanyi coldly. A glint of blood had already flashed through his black eyes!
“Hahaha!” Ling laughed loudly. “As expected, your first feeling is so similar to mine. Should I be happy or disgusted?”
Yun Feng listened quietly. Ling’s identity was obvious in the conversation between the two of them!
The gentleman put his arm in front of his chest and bent his waist slightly forward. “Miss Yun, please let me introduce myself again.”
Yun Feng frowned and didn’t know what to say. She only needed one confirmation about his guess!
“Miss Yun, you shouldn’t be unfamiliar with my original surname. It’s the surname of one of the four ancient families, Xuan.” Ling straightened his body and looked at Yun Feng with a strange light in his black eyes. “Miss Yun, I’m Xuan Yi. Please remember this name.”
A killing intent suddenly rose! Ling, who was Xuan Yi, chuckled. “There’s no need to be so nervous. There’s no winner between us today. Besides, it’s not time yet. I originally wanted to let some beasts enter the trap this time, but I didn’t expect Miss Yun to be here.”
“The Xuan family, one of the four ancient families,” whispered Yun Feng. Xuan Yi replied with an extremely gentlemanly smile. “So, he’s not the only one who’s worthy of you.”
Yun Feng frowned. Worthy? Why did this sound a bit weird? Logically speaking, the Yun family was the most declined one. Why was she worthy of them?
“Save your flattery. Fengfeng belongs to me!” said Qu Lanyi. Xuan Yi raised the corners of his mouth indifferently. “I think that’s all the young master of the Naxi family can do. If it were me, I would’ve done it already.”
“Let me warn you. If you do anything to Fengfeng, I won’t let you go!” Bloody redness began to spread slowly from the depths of his pupils. Xuan Yi’s expression tightened. Then, he chuckled and looked at Yun Feng. “Miss Yun, you still have a chance to choose. I recommend myself. I’m much better than him.”
The blood in his black eyes faded a bit. Xuan Yi chuckled. “It’s fine. Time can prove everything. It’s still too early.”
“Why are you here?” asked Yun Feng. Xuan Yi curled his lips and chuckled. “Why are you here, Miss Yun? I’m certainly here for the same reason.”
Yun Feng’s expression turned cold. He was here to find the Blood Soul Base too? That was impossible. What a cunning answer. “You set all of this up to lure the Tian Yao Clan.” Xuan Yi was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled. “As expected of Miss Yun. You’re really smart.”
“What’s your purpose of entering the Summoning Union?” Yun Feng continued. “Your identity in the Xuan family should be the same as Lanyi’s. Why did you sneak into the West Continent and enter the Summoning Union?”
The smile at the corners of Xuan Yi’s mouth didn’t diminish. “If I say that all of that was to meet Miss Yun, would you believe me, Miss Yun?”
“I don’t believe you,” said Yun Feng firmly. There was a smile on Qu Lanyi’s face. Xuan Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. He had said similar things in the past, but they had always been ambiguous. This was the first time he confessed so directly, but Yun Feng rejected him so directly. Xuan Yi was speechless for a moment.
“Kid, did you hear that?” Qu Lanyi raised his brows proudly. After a short silence, Xuan Yi smiled and wiped the embarrassment on his face. “Although I knew the answer, it’s truly sad that Miss Yun said it so bluntly.”
Yun Feng looked at Xuan Yi with her black eyes and knew that he definitely had something else to say. “You should have something to say.”
Xuan Yi chuckled. “Miss Yun, you’re indeed impressive. As expected of a member of the Yun family with the bloodline of a summoner. You’re indeed not disappointing. As I said earlier, I’m here for the same reason as yours. Perhaps I can help you with what you’re looking for.”
