Chapter 504: Chapter 214: Gentle Lady, Perfect Match for a Gentleman (Request for Monthly Votes)

Silence.

Pin-drop silence.

In the main hall of the central courtyard of the Zhou Residence, guests who had come to offer their congratulations all fell silent upon seeing the people seated at the two inner tables. Some even held their breath.

Everyone understood that the closer one was seated to Chen Yuan, the Duke Jingye, the higher their status, and they were not to be offended.

Even if they didn’t recognize Lin Xueru and the others, it was clear to anyone with a brain that people who could stand fearless before the likes of Wang Yang and Xie Dongan from the Kyoto Academy were not to be trifled with.

Especially since Lin Jixin, the son of Duke Xing, Lin Hansong, sat just a seat away from Lin Xueru.

The house servants of the Zhou Residence dared not speak either, and those quick-witted enough had already quietly slipped away to report to Zhou Tiance and Chen Yuan.

At this moment, Xie Dongan, seeing the room fall silent for a moment, quickly stood up, placing himself in front of Wang Yang, and signaled Jiang Ye and Wei Jinyu to hold him back.

Having done that, he bowed to Lin Xueru and the others and said:

"I apologize on behalf of my senior brother. He spoke inappropriately because the matter involved Kyoto Academy. I hope you all will forgive him."

Wang Yang became even more agitated upon hearing this but was firmly held back by Jiang Ye, who whispered in his ear:

"Senior brother, today is the joyful day of Chen Yuan’s succession as Duke Jingye!"

"If you continue to cause trouble, it will bring embarrassment not only to you but also to our Kyoto Academy and our esteemed teachers!"

"..."

Wang Yang glanced at him, unconsciously twirling his fan to fan himself, as if to calm his temper.

He cast an annoyed look at Hua Xianzi, even more irritated in his heart.

He finally understood why he was so against Chen Yi...

But "A fair maiden attracts a gentleman’s pursuit."

No matter how reluctant, he could not let go!

Seeing this, Jiang Ye eased up a little and also rose to apologize with a smile:

"Senior Sister Xiao, Senior Sister Hua, please let us put this matter behind us for the sake of our camaraderie in the Southern Barbarians."

Xiao Xuanzhen glanced at him askance and said, "It wouldn’t matter if you hadn’t brought it up, but on mentioning the Southern Barbarians, you two still owe Junior Brother Chen Yi a life!"

Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye wore wry smiles, knowing her words were true.

Back in the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm, without Chen Yi’s intervention, it was uncertain if they could have returned to the Wei Dynasty.

Hua Xianzi glanced at Wang Yang and the others, gently tugging on Lin Xueru’s sleeve as she said:

"Senior Sister, let Brother Chen handle this matter."

There they could only argue with Wang Yang and the others.

If Chen Yi were here, it would be a different story!

Lin Xueru paused, nodded, and said, "That would be for the best, so let’s wait for Brother Yi to arrive."

With that, she took a seat, ignoring Wang Yang and his companions.

Beside her, Xiao Xuanzhen gave Wang Yang a sideways glance, then sat down with Hua Xianzi and the others.

Gu Tiangang watched them with a cheerful smile, his gaze resting approvingly on Lin Xueru as he said:

"Not bad, pupil, you had quite the presence just now."

The young girl’s face flushed red: "Master, you’re teasing me."

"This old man wouldn’t dare, this old man fears you might complain to Nephew Chen Yi."

"I wouldn’t..."

In just a few exchanges, the previously tense atmosphere was dissolved.

But the guests around them knew all too well that the peace at this moment was just the calm before the storm.

It wasn’t hard to gather from the earlier argument that it was because of that newly entitled Heroic Marquis, Chen Yi.

"Heroic Marquis, hmm, if such a domineering person were to hear of this incident, I dare say we would have a spectacle to watch."

"Watch all you want, but don’t utter a word."

"Wouldn’t dare! I’m not someone from the Kyoto Academy... you know, that one."

"By the way, did you hear? That young scholar just said that the Heroic Marquis forced Wuliang Mountain to seal itself for a hundred years?"

"I heard it too, that’s exactly what he said."

"It’s really him?!"

"No wonder the Heroic Marquis came from the west last night; he must have just returned..."

"Hiss!"

"So the Heroic Marquis first had a great battle at Wuliang Mountain before encountering Liao Ai?"

"Terrifying..."

The discussions around him made Wang Yang’s face even more unpleasant. If he hadn’t been training in the Kyoto Academy for so many years, he might have ignored his dignity by now.

Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye exchanged glances, both inwardly lamenting their misfortune.

They had seen Chen Yi make several moves and knew his temperament wasn’t good.

"Brother An, what do we do?"

"How would I know?!" Xie Dongan was already somewhat upset with Wang Yang.

This senior had been causing mischief within the Kyoto Academy, and his classmates and teachers wouldn’t do much because of Lin Zhongke.

But now, they were outside the academy, facing none other than the man who had just slain "Black Impermanence" Liao Ai yesterday!

"Should we ask a few teachers to intervene?"

"No, that won’t work!"

Xie Dongan pondered for a while and shook his head: "For others, having the teachers come might be feasible, but not for Brother Yi."

If Chen Yi could be subdued by others, he wouldn’t have gone to Wuliang Mountain alone.

Jiang Ye looked pained, glancing reproachfully at Wang Yang.

"That’s probably for the best."

Once Chen Yuan arrived, having heard about the incident in the central hall, he glanced around and, seeing everything resolved, silently returned to the front courtyard.

"Everything settled over there?" Zhou Tiance asked nonchalantly: "Who was causing trouble?"

Chen Yuan replied flatly: "A senseless buffoon, unimportant."

Zhou Tiance nodded and didn’t say more.

To him, nothing was more important today than celebrating Chen Yuan’s succession as Duke Jingye.

Just then, the house servant’s voice rang out again at the door:

"Lou Wushan, a distinguished disciple of Wuliang Mountain, arrives with three fellow sect members to offer congratulations!"

"Two eminent disciples from Yuhua Immortal Sect arrive to offer congratulations!"

Hearing these announcements, Chen Yuan paused and turned his head to look at Zhou Tiance, a flicker of emotion in his eyes:
