Chapter 533: Random Invitation



Chapter 533: Random Invitation

Han Pojun told the sisters the conditions raised by Xiang Shaoyun, and they agreed to it without hesitation. That offer was akin to a free gift that had fallen into their laps out of nowhere. How would they reject a free gift?

"I can see that both of you like Young Master Xiang. My original intention was to have one of you become his lover. However, he did not agree to it. The only thing he wants is loyalty," said Han Pojun, somewhat regretful.

If he could marry one of the Han Clan sisters to Xiang Shaoyun, with the backers Xiang Shaoyun had, the Han Clan would benefit greatly. A gloom fell over the sisters\' faces as slight sadness gripped their hearts.

Han Pojun consoled them, "Don\'t be too disheartened. You will be spending plenty of time with him in the future. So long as you perform well, I believe he won\'t remain indifferent. As the saying goes, a man\'s pursuit of a woman is blocked by a mountain while a woman\'s pursuit of a man is only blocked by a layer of cloth. What happens in the future will rely on your own doings."

"Xuewei, you are gentle and caring. I believe he will like you in the future," said Han Qianwei.

"No, big sister. I\'m too stupid. You\'re smarter. I think he will like you," said Han Xuewei.

"Have you not noticed that Xiang Shaoyun doesn\'t really care much for me? He likes you more."

"That\'s definitely wrong. Big sister, you are able to provide him with great advice, but I know nothing. He won\'t like me."

...

The sisters started praising the other and belittling themselves.

Han Pojun couldn\'t help but to interject, "Alright, stop this. Don\'t you understand what I was trying to say? He is currently uninterested in both of you. To earn his favor, you will have to work hard to prove yourself. As for who he will end up liking in the end, we can only leave that up to fate. But no matter what, remember, do not let it affect the relationship between the two of you."

"Yes, uncle," the sisters answered at the same time.

"Good. At the Dragon Phoenix Academy, work hard at cultivating. Try to keep up with Xiang Shaoyun\'s paces instead of getting left further behind. Even better if you can find those odd materials capable of repairing your physique. Only they will help you grow stronger," Han Pojun advised. He handed two storage rings to the sisters and continued, "There are some cultivation resources in these rings. Use them accordingly. The Han Clan\'s future will lie on your shoulders."

The sisters nodded resolutely.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun was telling Du Xuanhao about the things to take note of after his departure. He hoped that Du Xuanhao could work with Devouring Ghost to discover which individuals from the Skeleton Gang would be useful. They would be the ones doing his biddings in the future.

As for the territory and wealth under their control, he was planning to have the people under Tang Zhan or Green Ghost to help manage it all. He did not have the time to deal with it, so he could only let Du Xuanhao take care of everything on his behalf. As for whether anything would actually come of it, he really couldn\'t be bothered to give it too much thought. The only thing he could do was increase his strength as quickly as possible.

Xiang Shaoyun called over the three Skeletons and had a long talk with them as well. Naturally, the three agreed to everything he said. The three weren\'t exactly weak, and he hoped that Devouring Ghost would be able to help them reach the Sovereign Realm in the future.

He originally wanted to use the ghostbloom to help Celestial Skeleton forge his soul foundation, but upon some thought, he decided against it. The Noxious Blood Gang was no more. There was no need for Celestial Skeleton to rush into the Soul Foundation Realm.

Xiang Shaoyun did not want to use the ghostbloom yet. After all, he had already awakened his imperial nether bloodline. He knew very well that the Nether Soul Domain required the help of the ghostbloom to grow stronger.

The following day, when Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave for the governor, he received a report that a lot of people were requesting to meet him. They were the people with both power and status in the city. Evidently, they were there for his follower spots.

Left with no choice, Xiang Shaoyun released news that his follower spots had been filled up and he no longer needed any followers. Only then did they leave grudgingly. Finally, he found the chance to visit the city hall. He was no longer afraid that the Rat Assassins would come looking for him.

Both the city hall and the Ghostface Sect had declared that any member of the Rat Assassins daring to step into the city would be killed. The people in the city were confused as to why the two organizations had made such a decision, but they all knew that the Rat Assassins wouldn\'t dare overlook the warning issued by these two organizations despite their might.

Walking along the path, Xiang Shaoyun felt as if he was bearing the weight of a mountain. Each step he took was extremely heavy, forcing him to constantly use his astral energy to neutralize the pressure, but it did not make him unhappy. Rather, he was in a good mood and was even observing the pedestrians around him.

He was rejoicing in the great gains he had obtained after arriving at this city. Not only had his cultivation level grown, he had also learned a lot of information relating to his birth. He had also gained more understanding on the various questions he had after his bloodline awakened. The things he had learned gave him a better direction in his future path of cultivation and planted in him a desire to find out more about his mother.

As he walked, Xiang Shaoyun was deep in thought and completely oblivious to the gazes the many women were throwing his way, filling those eyes with bitterness. It was rare for them to see a young man so elegant and handsome, yet the young man was actually viewing them with complete disregard.

When Xiang Shaoyun neared the city hall, someone blocked his path.

"Young Master Xiang, our Young Master Qing would like to invite you to the Yu Moon Pavilion," an old man said with a beam on his face.

"You are?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in confusion. He was sure he had never seen the old man before, yet the old man could actually recognize him, and he had even invited him to the Yu Moon Pavilion. He was probably someone from the Yu Clan.

Sure enough, the old man replied, "I am Ye Ye, a butler of Yu Province\'s Ye Clan. My young master is hoping to meet you after hearing of your fame. I hope you\'ll do me the honor of accepting this invitation."

"Ye Clan? I\'ve never heard of it. I\'m busy," Xiang Shaoyun rejected without any hesitation.

"Don\'t be too fast to reject, Young Master Xiang. My young master is a relative of the Yu Clan and can be considered a part of the Yu Clan as well. As for you, you\'re a son-in-law candidate of the Yu Clan. I am confident you and my young master will get along fine!" said Ye Ye in an unhurried manner.

Xiang Shaoyun frowned. "I don\'t have the time for that right now."

"There\'s no rush. My young master does not mind changing the time to tonight instead," said Ye Ye.

When Xiang Shaoyun saw how stubborn the old man was being, he hesitated slightly and then finally agreed out of respect for Yu Caidie. "Fine. I\'ll be there tonight."

"We look forward to meeting you tonight," said Ye Ye before stepping aside.

Xiang Shaoyun then continued heading toward the city hall. Unknown to him, a smile of someone whose scheme had succeeded formed on Ye Ye\'s face.

"Hold it! Who are you? How dare you intrude upon the city hall?” The city hall guards started berating Xiang Shaoyun when he approached.

"Xiang Shaoyun, requesting to meet the governor," Xiang Shaoyun replied calmly.
