Chapter 1107: Idiot

In fact, Qin Yu’s thoughts weren’t wrong. The status of the Adversity Peak City Lord was much more important than he imagined. This was the only reason this accident attracted the eyes of everyone in the banquet hall.

As the several guards were streaming with sweat, they were finally saved by someone walking over. It was Lord Clear Sea, one of the most trusted subordinates of the City Lord. Since he appeared, there was no need for them to continue participating in this.

Hurriedly bowing, the several guards fell back. Clear Sea had a bitter expression as he bowed and said, “I greet Sir Cloud Billow. Today’s accident must have been a misunderstanding. Young Master Blue Wave has no idea of your status, so if there has been any offense, I ask you to be broad-minded.”

This was the correct way of dealing with things. This really seemed like a coincidence, but Blue Wave unexpectedly didn’t know who Cloud Billow was. It seemed that this second young master of the City Lord Mansion was as absurd and ridiculous as the rumors said.

Some time ago, a group of City Lord Mansion guards had been poisoned to death and Blue Wave had also been heavily injured, resulting in him being hidden away as he recuperated.

Blue Sea flew into a rage because of this and people were captured and executed. It was said that the cause of this accident was a woman.

Was it possible that this woman was the one lying on the ground and sobbing? Tsk tsk, beautiful women really did bring ruin to their country. Blue Wave had already suffered a loss once, but he hadn’t committed that experience to memory. Someone with such a playboy attitude was bound to get into trouble sooner or later.

Blue Wave’s complexion changed but he maintained a gloomy expression. He hesitated and said, “Clear Sea, who is this person?” From the look of things, he still didn’t want to stop. This caused the watching demons to snicker inwardly as their opinion of him dropped even lower.

With Clear Sea’s status and his current attitude, was this not enough to show what was happening? To become so muddled because of a woman…he was far too besotted!

Clear Sea’s face stiffened. He took a deep breath and respectfully said, “Second young master, Sir Cloud Billow is a descendant of the old King’s lineage and his status is incomparably honored. He would absolutely never do something that would demean his honor.”

What kind of hero was the City Lord? Yet he managed to have such a pathetic and sloppy little brother. If this were anyone else, he would have sternly scolded them a long time ago.

Blue Wave’s complexion changed and dread flashed in his eyes. But when he looked down at the crying 13th Madame, his face flushed red as an expression of grief and angered indignation rose on his face.

He knew Cloud Billow’s identity and felt dread, yet he was unwilling to back down…right now, his performance perfectly displayed the mind of a playboy to the fullest extent.

Qin Yu wasn’t the same as the surrounding demons who felt disdain at Blue Wave’s actions and even laughed at him. He subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows, a strange look in his eyes.

He hadn’t come into contact with Blue Wave much, but he knew he was a person with some cleverness. At certain times, he even showed some resolve. For instance, before knowing of Feature’s supposed identity when they faced the red-eyed demon leader, he directly betrayed her without hesitation so he could leave unharmed.

So now that he knew Cloud Billow’s status and still acted like this, something was clearly off. And others might not know about Spring Breeze 13th Madame’s status, but Qin Yu did.

Although he had no idea why this woman was together with Blue Wave, there were obviously no feelings between them. As for whether or not Blue Wave would go this far for someone like her?

It was simply a joke.

If he was only guessing before, he could now confirm that Blue Wave came here for Cloud Billow.

It seemed that the Adversity Peak City Lord had made a choice. While Qin Yu didn’t know which one of the three great factions it was, it surely wasn’t the old King’s lineage.

In other words, Cloud Billow’s patience was meaningless. If Blue Wave came here for her, was it really just to show his attitude and deal a small blow to her reputation?

As Qin Yu’s thoughts were racing, his nose twitched. Where did that smell come from? It seemed to be from Spring Breeze 13th Madame who was lying on the ground.

He had no idea what this scent was, but it smelled nice. Qin Yu subconsciously took a few more sniffs. The heart of the abyss in his chest started to beat faster as his demonic energy became livelier.

Mm? This wasn’t right.

Although the effect wasn’t great, Qin Yu instantly discovered the changes in his body. His complexion changed.

This sort of fragrance was able to galvanize the strength in his body…but after sensing it, he didn’t discover anything dangerous. Could this merely be a coincidence?

He suddenly looked at Cloud Billow. Her expressionless face was a little bit more ruddy, and there was a restlessness in her eyes.

“Alright. Since this is a misunderstanding, there is no need to say anything. I have not placed this matter in my heart.” Cloud Billow quietly said. She glanced at Blue Wave and at Spring Breeze 13th Madame on the floor. “Apologize to the City Lord for me. I have other matters to attend to so I will be leaving. Goodbye.”

She turned to leave.

Clear Sea’s complexion changed. It was impossible for the old King’s lineage to not know about the importance of today’s banquet, yet Cloud Billow wanted to leave ahead of time?

This was just a trivial matter; was there a need to lose his temper? No, that shouldn’t be it. He had heard that Sir Cloud Billow was like a phoenix in the skies, so how could he not accommodate this?

The City Lord still hadn’t expressed his stance. Only when the three great factions gathered together could he obtain the most benefits.

If Cloud Billow left ahead of time, it might affect the City Lord’s plans. As Clear Sea thought of this, his dissatisfaction towards Blue Wave only grew.

But if Cloud Billow wanted to leave, he couldn’t stop him with his status. He could only watch anxiously.

At this time, a calm voice sounded out, each word tumbling with a formidable aura. “Blue Wave, you have been far too dissolute. Immediately apologize to Sir Cloud Billow!”

Blue Sea strode in. His facial appearance did share some similarities with Blue Wave, but it was impossible to compare their imposing manner and momentums.

Anyone who saw him would praise him as a dragon amongst men!

Wherever he walked, the people in the hall quickly drew back.

“City Lord!”

“I greet the City Lord!”

Blue Sea smiled and nodded, his demeanor calm and unhurried. He didn’t show any unease over what was happening in front of him.

Cloud Billow’s feet paused. She could only stop here. She cupped her hands and said, “Greetings, City Lord Blue Sea.”

“Sir Cloud Billow, my little brother has been spoiled since he was a child and that is why he has been so arrogant and conceited today. To think he offended you, that is his greatest mistake!” Blue Sea said in a stern tone. He glared at Blue Wave and barked, “You scoundrel, why haven’t you apologized!?”

Blue Wave shrank back his neck and revealed an aggrieved look mixed with dread. He reluctantly bowed and said, “I apologize. I had eyes but couldn’t see. I ask Sir Cloud Billow to forgive me!”

This sight left many people surprised. Could it be that their previous guesses were wrong? The Blue Family Brothers had played tricks but were not willing to retreat?

They clearly offended Cloud Billow, but they actually wanted to express their true status using this incident? So did that mean Adversity Peak City had chosen the old King’s lineage?

For a time, everyone’s eyes widened. There were those that were shocked, amazed, thoughtful, and some that were even cold and dark…

If Adversity Peak City really stood behind the old King’s lineage, it would represent that they had another vote and their disparity of strength with the ancient King’s lineage would have shrunk. This meant that the final winner of the new King’s throne would be even more unpredictable.

Cloud Billow hesitated for a moment.

Originally, she didn’t think too much about it. She just felt that Blue Sea’s brother was really ignorant and lacking in finesse. But just now, she smelled something. Although it wasn’t strong, it animated the demonic energy in her body.

Faintly, there was a sign that it was going to go out of control.

So she made the decision to leave. At the same time, her heart chilled. When she combined all these events together, she came to a conclusion – Adversity Peak City had made their choice!

But now…could she have been mistaken?

The race for the new King’s throne was imminent. Even if the old King’s lineage couldn’t succeed in the end, if they managed to draw in this Adversity Peak City Lord who had recently risen within the clan, their momentum would drastically rise.

Even once the new King took the throne, he would need to have some scruples if he wanted to deal with the old King’s lineage.

It had to be known that the Adversity Peak City Lord held a vote in his hand. In terms of this, his status was even higher than a Clan Elder’s.

She thought about how Cloud Boundless had almost torn apart all pretense of face with the Clan Elder Assembly for their family’s inheritance. Such a solemn and dignified quasi-King level existence had already started to act shamelessly.

Cloud Billow took a deep breath and sensed the strength in her body. While it wasn’t too steady, it was still within her scope of control.

This was just a brief conversation. There shouldn’t be an accident.

She still had to leave, but before then she had to comfort Blue Sea’s state of mind so that they avoided any unexpected losses.

With this thought in mind, Cloud Billow smiled and said, “It’s fine. Sir Blue Wave only arrived at Adversity Peak City recently and we haven’t seen each other now. This can be considered our first meeting.”

Blue Sea laughed out loud. “I’ve long since heard that Sir Cloud Billow is broad-hearted and generous. Now that I see you today, you are truly worthy of such praise!” He turned and angrily shouted, “Hurry and express your gratitude!”

Blue Wave earnestly bowed, “Thank you, Sir Cloud Billow.”

Cloud Billow nodded. “I received a message from the Clan Elder just now and there are some important matters I must attend to, so I will leave the banquet ahead of time. I ask that the City Lord not mind.” After a brief pause, she smiled and said, “Two days from now, if City Lord is available then feel free to come to Bluetile Courtyard as a guest. The Clan Elder has much appreciation towards the City Lord.”

Blue Sea smiled, as if he felt incomparably satisfied that he had the appreciation of Cloud Boundless. He said, “That’s simple. Once I have handled some trivial matters I will come to pay a visit…I also admire the Clan Elder’s reputation!”

Cloud Billow’s eyes brightened with pleasant surprise. She had extended the good intentions of the old King’s lineage and Blue Sea had responded without hesitation.

It had to be known that this wasn’t a private discussion between two parties. Before this matter was publicly revealed, it was possible that either side could have changed their mind.

Today, the old King’s lineage, ancient King’s, and new faction had gathered together in the banquet hall. There were also a massive number of demons who were eligible to participate in the struggle for the throne and choose sides.

Although there hadn’t been much conversation between the two parties, they had basically expressed their stance. This could be seen from the changed expressions of those in the hall.

In other words, after Blue Sea made his statement, there was no chance of going back on his word. If he did so after saying such in full view of the public, he would become a hypocritical villain. The noble Adversity Peak City Lord could not do something like this that would be ridiculed by others!

In fact, because of that, he might even have to abandon his position as the City Lord. After all, while Blue Sea’s rise within the clan had been astonishing, he hadn’t spent the time establishing relations and his foundation in the clan was shallow.

Could someone who was able to become the Adversity Peak City Lord not think of this? So at this moment, Cloud Billow really believed that Blue Sea had chosen the old King’s lineage, and she was joyously surprised by it.

Qin Yu had a full view of the subtle changes in her expression. He curled his lips and secretly thought that this woman really was an idiot!

Are you truly the signboard for the old King’s lineage nowadays? Hoho, this level truly is terrible!
