Chapter 585 Yu Linglong
“Of course,” Chao Bufan quickly replied, “Don’t you think about who my father is? If I did something bad, my father would skin me alive.”
"Bu Fan, your senior brother has told us everything about your past!" A sly look flashed across Tang Qianqian's face.
Chao Bufan grew increasingly uneasy and quickly chuckled, "Well, ladies, you absolutely mustn't listen to your senior brothers' one-sided opinions! Don't you know what kind of person I am? I'm very serious!"
“Extraordinary,” Yifei asked, “Don’t you think the word ‘serious’ is a bit inappropriate when used to describe you?”
"How is it inappropriate?" Chao Bufan asked, puzzled. "I'm perfectly serious, okay? I admit I'm handsome and a bit of a womanizer, but I don't do anything reckless."
"Really?" Lily said, "So you mean your senior brother is slandering you!"
"That's not the case. Maybe my senior brother is just joking with you. If you don't believe me, I'll call all three of my senior brothers over, and we'll confront each other and see if I'm lying. I may be a bit of a playboy, but I'm very serious!"
“Bufan, if you say that, you’re just shooting yourself in the foot. Look at all our sisters, you’ve taken them all by yourself. Is that what you call being proper?” Huang Mengting said.
"You brat," Chao Bufan scolded, "You still have the nerve to say that? You, you, you, and you..." He pointed at several people in a row, saying, "You all came here of your own accord." Then he said weakly, "I was just following your orders."
"Tch!" Everyone immediately fainted.
“Unbelievable, I didn’t expect you to be so shameless,” Lily said.
"Is it thick?" Chao Bufan pinched his cheek and said, "It's not thick at all! It hurts even when you pinch it lightly!"
The reason Baihe and the others didn't go to rest was mainly to comfort Chao Bufan. After all, everyone could see that his father's death was a huge blow to him, especially since his father died because of him. Now that they saw Chao Bufan had emerged from that shadow, they felt much more at ease.
“Not ordinary,” Tang Qianqian said, “Can you tell us about your past romantic escapades?”
"What romantic history? That's nonsense," Chao Bufan denied outright.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you!"
"You're just feeling guilty and don't want to talk about it!"
Why should I feel guilty?
"Tch! You're kidding me! Your three senior brothers have all told us about your romantic and carefree past, are you going to tell us or not?"
"You've already said it's not true, so what do you want me to say?"
"Will you talk or not? If you don't, you're allowed to touch us again." Everyone swarmed forward, snorting and glaring at him.
Chao Bufan was startled, then smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you, okay?"
……
Tiandu City, one of the most prosperous cities in the Central Plains and also one of the most populous, has more than a dozen sects of varying sizes. The most famous of these are the East Gate, West Gate, South Gate, and North Gate, which are located in the east, west, south, and north of Tiandu City and dominate their respective regions.
However, within Tiandu City, there exists a sect that is neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil. No one in this sect ever interferes in matters of the martial world; even if the martial world is destroyed, they maintain an attitude of indifference. Yet, this sect's strength is immense; neither the righteous nor the demonic paths dare to provoke it. Even the current Moon Goddess dares not offend this sect, showing it a degree of reverence. This demonstrates just how powerful this sect truly is.
However, this sect has a very strange name, called Eight Gates. The leader of Eight Gates is a man called Eighth Master. This man has an eccentric personality, sometimes good and sometimes bad. He rarely goes out into the martial arts world and never asks about its affairs. In fact, he even admonishes his disciples not to ask about the affairs of the martial arts world or to pay attention to the people in it.
As usual, Tiandu City was bustling with activity, with people coming and going on the streets and the sounds of various vendors hawking their wares rising and falling.
Business women do not know the hatred of subjugation, and they still sing backyard flowers across the river.
For these ordinary people, as long as it doesn't affect their lives, they don't care who becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance.
In Tiandu City, Chao Bufan and his group walked down the street. He asked Yuan Qiu, "Fatty, did you ask your dad or not?"
Yuan Qiu replied, "Why didn't I ask? My father said this place is on an island in the sea."
"Did you ask which direction it was going?" Chao Bufan asked again.
Yuan Qiu said, "I asked him, and he said he didn't remember either."
"You bastard, that's the same as not saying anything at all," Chao Bufan said irritably.
After a moment, Tang Gun asked Chao Bufan, "Tian Yue, are you really going to go find her?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said "Mm".
“We only know she’s in Tiandu City, but we don’t know exactly where in Tiandu City she is! Tiandu City is so big, where are we supposed to find her?” Ma Sanpao said.
"We'll find it eventually," Chao Bufan said.
Unbeknownst to him, as he passed by an opera house, the singing of a geisha inside suddenly piqued his interest. He stopped and went inside. Yuan Qiu and Qi Qi were both startled, but without thinking much of it, they quickly followed him in.
On the stage, a woman dressed in a seductive manner was singing: "Two strange trees lean against the eerie palace, ten thousand pearls reflect the yellow flowers. On this heartbreaking wedding night, no maidservants are needed by my side. Fallen petals fill the sky, obscuring the moonlight; I borrow a cup to offer on the phoenix platform. The imperial princess, with tears in her eyes, offers incense, willing to sacrifice her life to thank her parents. I secretly watch, secretly gaze, and see her secretly grieving with tears in her eyes. I am half-terrified, fearing that the prince consort, cherishing the phoenix and dragon pairing, is unwilling to die for love with me in the netherworld…"
Chao Bufan listened silently, his mind filled with countless thoughts, and for a moment he became somewhat mesmerized.
“Tian Yue,” Yuan Qiu nudged Chao Bufan and said, “It’s just a song called ‘The Princess Changping’, what’s so great about it?”
Chao Bufan smiled slightly, said nothing, and turned to walk out.
As luck would have it, a man and a woman walked towards them, hand in hand, looking very affectionate. Behind them were several attendants.
When Chao Bufan saw the woman approaching, he immediately frowned, because this woman was none other than Yu Linglong, the fiancée who had poisoned him. However, she was now someone else's wife, and the man holding her hand was Kuai Zhengliang.
Yu Linglong and Kuai Zhengliang walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing. For some reason, passersby, upon seeing the loving couple, all turned and ran as if they'd seen a plague. In no time, the once bustling street was deserted. The loving couple, however, seemed unaffected, continuing to hold hands and chat. At first, Yu Linglong didn't see the man standing in the middle of the road not far ahead, staring at her with deeply furrowed brows. But when she got closer and saw the man, she was immediately startled.
