Do you really have no interest in Ye Chu at all? Zhang Su’er looked at Su Rong and could not help shaking her head with a sigh. She knew Su Rong too well. Ever since Ye Chu left that time Su Rong had often looked dazed and Zhang Su’er knew exactly why.
Zhang Su’er could not help thinking that if Su Rong were given another chance would she still have refused Ye Chu back then on that balcony beside the cold lake?
Seeing Zhang Su’er staring straight at her Su Rong turned her gaze to that not particularly strong figure. She bit her lip pressing a mark into the soft alluring red lips yet she did not speak.
Zhang Su’er saw Su Rong like this so she grabbed Su Rong’s hand and pulled her along.
What are you doing? Su Rong frowned at Zhang Su’er while being dragged.
I refuse to believe Ye Chu can resist your charm. Hmph. You only need to crook your finger and Ye Chu will come running to kneel at your feet. Zhang Su’er pulled Su Rong along.
No. Su Rong shook off Zhang Su’er’s hand and stood there stubbornly. She picked up a brush to paint but her strokes were messy and she had no idea what she was drawing.
If you do not take the initiative now he will think you have no feelings for him and naturally he will not dare to approach you again. Men care about face and they fear getting their heads broken and blood flowing if they bump into you once more. Zhang Su’er felt a little annoyed that iron could not turn into steel. At a time like this she should give Ye Chu some hope.
No. Su Rong stubbornly shook her head once more. Her gaze fell on Ye Chu and her expression remained cold and proud.
Zhang Su’er grew a little angry and scolded Su Rong. What exactly are you thinking? I will ask you just one question. Do you like Ye Chu? Answer me honestly.
After saying this Zhang Su’er stared straight at Su Rong gazing at her beautiful and charming face as she waited for the answer.
Pressed by Zhang Su’er Su Rong let her gaze fall on Ye Chu’s back. She watched Ye Chu chatting and laughing with Liang Shan. Her teeth lightly bit her lip and the stubbornness on her face did not lessen in the slightest. No.
Alas. Looking at Su Rong whose eyes had turned red after saying those words Zhang Su’er sighed. She understood her friend too well. Her personality was simply too strong and proud.
Zhang Su’er put an arm around Su Rong’s shoulders and clearly felt the slight tremble in her. All right all right. If you do not like him then you do not like him.
Zhang Su’er held Su Rong and comforted her emotions. She could not help blaming herself. She had known all along that Su Rong was a stubborn person yet she had still pressed her. Now that Ye Chu had appeared in her sight again Su Rong had probably been pretending to be calm all this time but she had insisted on exposing the act.
Su Rong and Zhang Su’er whispered together. In the end everyone saw Su Rong holding Zhang Su’er tightly. This left the crowd puzzled and they could not help looking towards Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng did not understand either. He walked over to Su Rong and looked at her raised face which now appeared rather pale. What is wrong? Why does your face look so bad all of a sudden? Are you ill?
Seeing everyone looking at her Su Rong nodded and forced a smile. Yes. My body feels a little unwell today.
If you feel unwell then rest early. I will send you back. Zhang Peng smiled. He took off his outer coat and was about to drape it over Su Rong.
Su Rong jumped aside. Her peripheral vision could not help stealing a glance at Ye Chu. Seeing that Ye Chu was not paying attention to this side Su Rong suddenly felt an inexplicable irritation. Young Master Zhang Peng please have some self respect. You and I are only ordinary friends. I have Su’er to accompany me back so I will not trouble Young Master Zhang Peng.
Su Rong’s blunt words exploded like thunder at the top of the tower. Even Zhang Su’er covered her mouth and looked at Su Rong in disbelief.
All along Su Rong had kept Zhang Peng at arm’s length. Although she had maintained enough distance she had still left him some face. Yet this time Su Rong showed no mercy at all.
Zhang Su’er could not help glancing at Ye Chu and wondered whether it was because Ye Chu was here today.
The hand holding the coat suddenly froze. Zhang Peng stood there awkwardly but soon a trace of anger appeared on his face. He liked Su Rong and was willing to lower himself for her. But no matter how much he lowered himself he could not be humiliated by someone from a small kingdom. Su Rong’s words just now were like a direct slap across his face.
The looks from the crowd felt like knives to Zhang Peng. He felt like a clown making a fool of himself.
How dare you speak to my elder brother like that? Zhang Peng stood there with an iron blue face. He had not yet scolded her but Hu Lan exploded with rage. He glared furiously at Su Rong and said You really think you are somebody. If my elder brother had not taken a fancy to you I would have snatched you long ago. What can your Yao Kingdom even say? Do not refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.
These words angered both Su Rong and Zhang Su’er. You two come from a big place far beyond what our Yao City can compare to. But if you two dare to act like this Su Rong is not someone easy to bully either. She can make sure you two have no peace. She will use actual actions to show you that people from small places are not to be trampled on at will.
You are nothing. Hu Lan cursed angrily. He could sweep through all the cultivators in the Yao Kingdom so Su Rong’s threat meant nothing to him. Looking at Su Rong’s graceful figure Hu Lan snorted and said Today this young master will put his words here. Either you agree to marry my elder brother today or this young master will snatch you directly. It depends on whether you choose to drink the wine of respect or the wine of punishment.
Hearing Hu Lan threaten Su Rong Zhang Peng did not stop him. He had already spent a lot of time on Su Rong and had no interest in wasting any more. Since he could not play the gentleman he did not mind playing the villain.
She was only a woman from a kingdom. It was her good fortune that he had taken a fancy to her.
Seeing the somewhat frantic Hu Lan Su Rong took a light breath and said Even if Su Rong dies she will not submit to you.
Su Rong was unwilling to wrong herself. At worst it was just death. Su Rong believed that even after her death they would not fare well. Not long ago she had agreed to leave Yao City. If the people coming to fetch her in the future could not find her they would naturally deal with Hu Lan.
Good. Good. Hu Lan laughed from extreme anger. You have courage and I like women like that. Since that is the case then today this young master will tie you up.
Hu Lan acted without any scruples in Yao City. Not to mention his elder brother even he himself was unmatched in Yao City.
Seeing that Hu Lan was about to make a move against Su Rong everyone present looked grim. Su Rong was the pearl of Yao City. If she were snatched away right in front of them what face would they have left when facing the women of Yao City?
Chen Bowen stood to the side with an iron blue face as well. This woman had once been the one he loved. Yet at this moment he could do nothing.
He knew Hu Lan’s strength very clearly. It had reached the upper innate realm and there was also Zhang Peng beside him. He had originally thought these two would act like gentlemen and pursue Su Rong calmly but he had not expected them to suddenly behave like this.
Chen Bowen’s face turned ashen. His strength could not block the other party at all and he did not dare to block them either.
Zhang Su’er had experienced Pang Shao’s threat before so she naturally knew how overbearing these scions from great families could be. She did not expect them to step forward. Her gaze could not help turning to Ye Chu but then she felt it was laughable. She thought that if Ye Chu stood out now he would only be seeking death. Although Ye Chu had been able to fight innate realm experts back then he could only fight innate realm experts and nothing more.
The two people before them were both far stronger than the innate realm.
