Chapter 446: Ch 446- Go Back First
"Brother Yino, are you really Sister Ruoning’s fiance?"
"Wait, I think I heard news from Liu mansion last night!"
"They say Liu family’s daughter ran away with a man at the dinner party where she was supposed to meet Lin family!"
"Senior Yino, don’t tell me you’re behind that Liu mansion rumor!"
With Yino’s high-profile announcement, the curious young ladies at their gossiping age crowded around with bright eyes to dig for information.
In his past life, Yino had always preferred quiet. He wasn’t good at showing off in front of peers.
But now, bathing in the enthusiastic gazes of many young ladies, Yino suddenly realized that talking confidently in front of crowds didn’t require any talent. When your strength was in place, the words naturally came.
The key wasn’t knowing how to boast. The key was having the confidence to back it up.
Once your strength was solid, even if he made things up, people would still nod and agree.
"Whether cultivation or marriage contract, everything I’ve said has guarantee."
"If you don’t believe me, you can ask that Xumo over there. About half a year ago, we had some sparring matches in Azure Forest..."
"I’m sure Brother Xumo not only knows my skills well, but also has deep understanding of my relationship with Ruoning."
Saying this, Yino changed his tone. He didn’t forget to mock his good buddy again after half a year.
As soon as Yino said this, he immediately guided all the gossiping ladies to turn and focus on Xumo, who was trying to hide in the back.
Xumo originally wanted to crouch nearby and see what tricks Yino was playing.
Now this was great. Many Liuli Sect disciples swarmed around him talking all at once.
The female disciples were naturally curious gossips, mainly asking about the relationship between Yino and Ruoning.
The male disciples were more competitive, constantly pestering Xumo about whether Yino’s true cultivation was watered down.
Maybe everyone meant no harm to Xumo...
But after these questions hit Xumo’s face one after another, he only felt painful memories surge up like demons.
He wasn’t happy. He only felt how noisy this rabble was!
"Get lost! Are you idiots? He tells you to ask me, so you come ask me?"
"I’m not even familiar with Yino! Stop bothering me with your noise!"
The more Xumo heard everyone’s chatter, the more annoyed he became. After dropping some resentful curses, he left without looking back.
For a moment, everyone was a bit scared.
They probably didn’t expect that just asking a few casual questions would make Xumo inexplicably break down and get angry.
"Hehe..."
"No wonder Junior Brother has been moody since returning from Azure Forest half a year ago. Turns out his secret crush got stolen."
"Now, from his reaction, what Brother Yino said should be true."
At some point, a tall figure walked step by step from the side of the crowd.
His voice was gentle and confident, polite on the surface but actually aggressive, making the already broken-down Xumo even more furious as he turned back to glare at him viciously.
Everyone looked over and discovered that Ye Huai had also come to join the fun today!
Ye Huai’s analysis made sense.
Everyone in Liuli Sect knew that Xumo was originally a rising star in the sect. But after returning half a year ago, he seemed like a different person, temperamental and easily angered.
Now with Ye Huai’s explanation, the cause and effect timeline connected. Everyone suddenly understood and couldn’t stop whispering.
"Brother Yino, this Junior Xumo in our Liuli Sect was recently punished for breaking rules. He’s probably still in a bad mood. As our guest, please don’t let one person’s rudeness ruin your mood today."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I’m Ye Huai, the head senior brother under Lady Ye of Liuli Sect. In other words, I’m Miss Ruoning’s senior brother."
Seeing Xumo run off cursing, Ye Huai naturally took the elder’s position as head senior brother. He actively stepped forward to chat with Yino, surrounded by many young disciples.
For a moment, it became Yino and Ye Huai facing each other, observing one another.
Yino could feel that Ye Huai’s seemingly polite smiling eyes were secretly observing his aura and cultivation level.
And vice versa, Yino was doing the same.
He hadn’t expected to meet Ye Huai face-to-face on his first day at Liuli Sect.
In a sense, Yino really had status now. After all, in Liuli Sect’s hierarchy, Ye Huai as head senior brother was at least on the same level as Yuyan, a high-ranking cultivator.
Now Ye Huai was taking the initiative to greet Yino...
Moreover, from Yino’s observation, Ye Huai was in a good mood today and held some goodwill toward him.
It was clear that Ye Huai considered Yino an ally on the same side. After all, Ye Huai had beaten up Xumo a few months ago over Yuebai’s matter. In a sense, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Ye Huai also appreciated Yino for humiliating Xumo so thoroughly.
Yino’s other identity as Ye Huai’s junior sister Ruoning’s boyfriend also brought their relationship and seniority closer.
However...
If he knew what I did with Yuebai last night, could he still smile so cheerfully like now?
While modestly shaking hands with Ye Huai, this strange thought popped into Yino’s mind.
Yino didn’t want to offend Ye Huai for now.
After all, this was a proper tool character from the original story. Though not as strong as Yuyan, he truly had righteous heart and upheld principles of "healing the wounded and helping the just." So Ye Huai’s role in Liuli Sect’s plot was essentially the same as Yuyan’s.
If possible, maybe Yino could even become good brothers with Ye Huai in the future.
Thinking this, Yino couldn’t help but smile and cup his hands in greeting:
"So it’s Senior Ye Huai. I’ve heard so much about you."
"Oh? you knows me?"
