Chapter 82 Not Convinced; Luan Xiaoyao Going to the Baihua Arena
After the storytelling session, the guests in the teahouse were still eager for more.
They clamored for another story, insisting that the storyteller couldn't leave just yet.
It was the first day of business for the Gu's Teahouse, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.
Old Yang was counting the money, delighted with the bustling success.
"Storyteller, tell us more! What happened to that peerless expert after severely injuring Emperor Yu? Where did he go?"
"Yeah! That's the crucial part!"
"If you tell us, I'll reward you with my monthly salary!"
The crowd was impassioned, and the storyteller found himself in a dilemma.
On the second floor, Mu Yuyan smiled subtly without revealing her thoughts.
She thought, "He is right next to me, sharing the same teahouse with you all..."
At this moment, a golden ingot flew from the corner of the first floor and unexpectedly landed on the storyteller's tea table. Everyone's eyes widened. They hadn't expected such a wealthy individual in the teahouse.
"Storyteller, talk about the Consecrator's strength. Is he really much stronger than Emperor Yu?"
It was a clear and crisp voice from a young girl.
The crowd turned to look, discovering a girl in the corner. She was quite young, with a charming face and two black ponytails hanging down to her waist.
Her attire didn't resemble a local from the Great Jing, and she had a blood-red umbrella by her side.
She was sitting across from a wrinkled old woman who seemed expressionless, giving off an air of lifelessness.
"It's her..."
Mu Yuyan noticed the young girl. She had seen her portrait before when the Northern Ming Emperor sent it over. It was none other than An Qiu, the little princess who sneaked out of the Northern Ming Palace to seek attention in the Great Jing.
"How unfortunate, just ran into her right after coming out with my husband."
Mu Yuyan thought to herself, still leaning against Gu Lan, quietly observing what An Qiu intended to do.
Gu Lan's gaze also fell on Luan Xiaoyao.
Oh my, unexpectedly a cultivator at the Sovereign Realm!
Considering her age, having such cultivation meant she was not an unknown figure on the continent.
"Thank you for the young lady's grace! Thank you, thank you!"
In the teahouse, people wisely kept quiet after witnessing Luan Xiaoyao's extraordinary abilities.
The few who had been shouting earlier dared not speak up again. Luan Xiaoyao smiled triumphantly and walked calmly to the center of the main hall.
On the second floor, the female Emperor furrowed her brows imperceptibly. This little troublemaker was indeed causing a scene.
If Master Gu weren't present today, she would have personally taught her a lesson.
Mu Yuyan was a bit annoyed, not because Luan Xiaoyao was showing off on her territory, but because she was contradicting the compliments given to Gu Lan by the crowd.
At this moment, all eyes were on Luan Xiaoyao, wondering what she was up to.
"Ms Gui, hang up the prepared banner for me!" Luan Xiaoyao ordered.
"...Yes."
The old woman hesitated a bit but still followed the command. The elderly figure appeared in front of the Baihua Arena, and a large banner unfurled with a resounding noise.
On the banner, it was written: "Tianji Pavilion Consecrator! Do you dare to fight against me, Luan Xiaoyao? Watch this princess make you cry!"
After completing this task, the old woman returned to the teahouse. Both inside and outside the building, the onlookers were dumbfounded.
Was she challenging the peerless expert of the Jing Nation? Who was this Luan Xiaoyao?
Under the gaze of the crowd, Luan Xiaoyao chuckled, "Haha! That's right, this princess is here to challenge the number one expert of the Jing Nation. In this Expert Rankings, I want the top spot!"
After saying this, she lightly stepped into the air and flew directly to the Baihua Arena!
"This girl doesn't look civilized..."
Gu Lan shook his head, smiled, and sighed.
He had no intention of going out to accept the challenge. Even if he ignored the risk of revealing himself, he wouldn't engage in a fight.
After all, he was now a married man. Who would bully a girl with twin ponytails?
There was a two-realm difference between an Emperor Realm and a Sovereign Realm, and it would be like rubbing her on the ground until she cried and called for her father.
Gu Lan always respected the elderly and loved the young, never bullying the weak.
At this moment, due to the commotion caused by Luan Xiaoyao, pedestrians on Dongzhi Street stopped one after another.
Customers in Chunyue Tower across the street saw the banner and craned their necks to see.
Even the guests in Dulcet Pavilion... ahem, stopped their busy activities, staring in astonishment at the blood-red umbrella on the Baihua Arena.
Luan Xiaoyao landed on the Baihua Arena, her gaze sweeping around. Several apprentices from different sects were sparring, and nearby there were also scattered cultivators waiting for their turn to enter the arena.
