Chapter 55: Finally Arrived

“Yan Lu, why are you so late? Oh right, your little rhino can’t fly so obviously you can’t catch up with the Luan.”

Fan Li, dressed in luxurious and handsome clothes, laughed and teased as he saw the Furious Golden Rhino coming his way.

In front of the Forbidden Land’s entrance, the descendants of the five clans and cultivators of the other cities, who mostly were of the same age, looked at him to see what was going on.

Fan Li was a handsome man well-known in the empire, also one of the five “new moons”.

Among the younger generation, Li Yu was arrogant and indifferent, while Yan Lu was harsh and violent, making them often go against each other.

Only Fan Li, mild-tempered and courteous in words, tend to benefit from both sides. He was talented in calligraphy, painting, chess, and music. Along with his outstanding looks, it was impossible for him not to attract a large group of girls.

“I am Li Yu, a participant in this event. Hope we can learn from each other in the future.”

Yan Lu halted his rhino, ignoring Fan Li’s teasing, and looked directly at Li Yu, who was coming down from the Luan.

Li Yu turned and glanced at him from a distance, and nodded slightly, but did not speak.

People were mostly used to his cold personality.

“Lin Zhuyun, when I came here, I saw your fiancé just then.” Yan Lu grinned. “A very interesting lad.”

On the Lin Clan’s slide, Lin Zhuyun stood gracefully.

“Sure.” She replied casually.

“Interesting?” Fan Li closed his fan and said, “Tell me, what about him makes you think he’s interesting?”

“My Furious Golden Rhino almost killed him.” Yan Lu knew that Yu Yuan was not ordinary, but still wanted to poke fun out of him, “I’m admiring how the first thing he did was to hide behind the Mayoress.”

Everyone laughed as he said this.

As for what happened next, no one bothered to ask.

Because they knew very well that at the very least Yuan Lianyao was able to stop the violent rhino or that Yan Lu stopped the beast just in time.

“We must be two peas in a pod!” Fan Li slapped his thigh and exclaimed with admiration on his face, “If it is me in his place, I would’ve done the same.”

“Yan Lu, what is his name?”

“Yu Yuan.”

“Yu Yuan, right?” Fan Li smiled. “No matter what realm he is in, I’ll make sure he becomes my friend!”

The cultivators from other clans and cities looked away from them.

Anyone who met Fan Li before knew that his smile was nothing but a mask covering his terrible and ruthless plans to benefit from others.

Those who didn’t understand him would easily fall for his attractive and carefree personality.

“Fan Li, you and Yu Yuan do have similarities.” Su Yan suddenly spoke, which made the people around her very surprised as she never spoke much usually.”.

Even the owner of the Luan cast a look of surprise.

“Isn’t it, Sister Lin?” Su Yan smiled at Lin Zhuyun.

Lin Zhuyun frowned, and said, “These two do seem quite alike, but I feel like if they are on the same realm, Fan Li won’t stand a chance.”

Recalling Yu Yuan’s mindless behavior the last time she met him, Lin Zhuyuan still felt some fears.

If it wasn’t for the Mayoress stopping them, the Red Shelled Pill would have killed them that day.

At that time, she felt that Yu Yuan didn’t even care about the life and death of the Yu Clan.

Afterward, she was warned by the Yin God from the Dark Moon City…

After a series of incidents, she became extremely jealous of Yu Yuan’s abilities.

So what she said was not a joke.

However, her words caused quite a ripple in the crowd.

Focused around Yu Yuan, the cultivators started to discuss what Yu Yuan might have made him so famous.

“It won’t be possible to even compare Yu Yuan to Fan Li.”

“Fan Li can probably get rid of him easily no matter what realm he is in.”

“What about his intelligence? Can he outwit Fan Li’s tricks?”

“Why would Lin Zhuyun make such a drastic comparison?”

The people shouted or whispered, and most didn’t believe what Lin Zhuyun said.

Especially those girls who adore Fan Li; they even wanted to force Lin Zhuyun to take back her words, but were stopped by the elders.

Lin Zhuyun was the pride of the Lin family, one of the five new moons. The elders wouldn’t let them cause more trouble.

However, even with their anger suppressed, the girls already became hostile to Yu Yuan just from the words Lin Zhuyun had said.

Those girls thought that Fan Li would never hide behind a woman even in a life-threatening situation.

Once a woman loved someone, it was common for her to lose her mind.

This was especially true for younger girls.

“I never thought that you would look so highly of your fiance.” Fan Li’s smile was still bright but slightly stiff, “So you’re saying the rumors of all these years are not true after all? Your fiance, isn’t an idiot?”

Lin Zhuyun didn’t want to waste any more energy on this matter, so she closed her eyes.

Fan Li then looked at Su Yan.

Su Yan said, “I can prove that he isn’t stupid.”

Su Yan frowned and looked at Lin Zhuyun. “Did you do that on purpose?”

She knew that Fan Li liked Lin Zhuyun.

No matter how Fan Li tried to hid, it was still obvious.

She thought Lin Zhuyun should have noticed as well.

By saying what she said, Lin Zhuyuan might be trying to use Fan Li to fight Yu Yuan.

With Fan Li’s habits, he wouldn’t let Yu Yuan come out of the Forbidden Land alive.

Li Yu’s arrogance and Yan Lu’s roughness was known to all, but in fact, Yan Lu was also delicate enough to think no matter the situation.

As for Fan Li, his true cruelness and ruthlessness were well hidden behind the always-smiling face

Like a poisonous snake in the dark, his movements were always beyond one’s expectations.

By knowing each other very well, Yan Lu didn’t want to get involved with Fan Li at all.

Next to the Luan, Li Yu from the royal family didn’t wear any luxurious accessories. At a glance, he might be mistaken for a poor cultivator from the mountains.

Suddenly Li Yu raised his head slightly and looked into the distance.

He was the first to notice the movement.

Soon, the rest of the people looked that way as well after hearing the footsteps.

After a while.

Led by Yuan Lianyao, the young cultivators from the Dark Moon City, arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden Land.

“You are last again.”

At the Li Clan’s side, a general who had been sitting there quietly slowly stood up.

“Who is Yu Yuan?”

“Who is that guy?”

“I want to see what he got to compare with my Fan Li brother?”

“Show yourself, Yu Yuan!”

The sharp voices of young girls erupted all of a sudden.

Many young girls regard Yu Yuan as their lifetime enemy.

Yu Yuan was confused by what was going on. “Is it just me or it turns out that women from all over the empire are all shrews.”

He shook his head in distress.
