23 Mu Rang

"Murong Xuan? Xiao Wan Wan?" These two faces were familiar to him. They were the new disciples who had charged into the Heaven's Disciple Ranking, and achieved shocking results, stunning the Sect.

Not only that, they were both from one of the 4 Great Families. Both talented and had the background to back it up, they were definitely in the limelight, so it was not surprising for him not to recognise them.

On the other hand, Huo Yan, who was still acting out a pitiful expression, managed to hear those words that came out from Mu Rang's mouth, and he nearly stumbled and fell.

Murong? Xiao? Weren't both of them 2 of the 4 Greatest Families?

Don't tell me…As he thought about this inwardly, a bad feeling rose within his hearts.

He was a typical useless young master character, with only average aptitude for cultivation, and did not usually hear or care much about the cultivation scene within the City.

He had never saw Xiao Wan Wan or Murong Xuan's face before, so he had initially thought them to be from a low tier family, as compared to his medium tier clan.

But if they were really from the Xiao and Murong Family, then he was thoroughly dead.

Just one Great Family could easily say a single word and thoroughly decimate his entire clan that he was so proud of, not to mention two of them.

Even though he was conceited and arrogant, he also had his limits.

"What are you doing here?" Mu Rang asked in a friendly tone.

If it was only Huo Yan's suspicion just now, it was now confirmed by Mu Rang's tone of voice that seemed like he was talking to someone of his own status, with even a hint of politeness.

That meant, that they were most likely from the Great Families.

Damn! Why did I lose control of my emotions just now? Huo Yan cursed himself inwardly, as his fingers started trembling in fear.

"I'm just here to have some lunch! I didn't know why that idiot came over and tried to disturb us." Xiao Wan Wan lifted up her little head up and glared at Huo Yan in hostility.

Huo Yan was scared to death by her glance, as he hurriedly lowered his head down.

Couldn't you have just said that you were from the Xiao family? I would have just ran away as fast as I could.

However, he didn't dare to say that aloud.

"It looks like you don't really like him." Mu Rang softly chuckled.

"Tsk. If Sister Murong didn't attack him first, I would have beat him up myself!" Xiao Wan Wan coldly snorted.

Mu Rang eyes slightly opened in astonishment. Murong Xuan, the cold ice beauty, took the initiative to attack someone? But her character…she usually emanated an air of indifference, and didn't even bother about the people around her.

"How dare you look at Sister Murong again?!" Xiao Wan Wan ran over to Huo Yan, and started pummelling him with her small fists that were filled with explosive power.

At this point of time, Huo Yan was simply akin to a dummy toy that was played around by Xiao Wan Wan, as cries of agony and pain echoed around the restaurant.

Huo Yan, who was currently beaten black and bruise, could only scream indignantly in his head: I didn't even look up just now!

If Xiao Wan Wan could hear his thoughts, she would just indifferently retort: Tsk. Does this refined lady here need an excuse for beating you up? Oh…wait a minute. I just created an excuse just to beat you up. Who cares! You are still the one getting battered by me anyways!

After a long while, Xiao Wan Wan finally stopped her crazy assault.

Just when everyone thought that she was done, she abruptly slammed down her feet into Huo Yan's vulnerable area.

Crack!

The restaurant went silent.

The man all clutched their privates in pain, as if they were the one being hit there, as goosebumps ran all over their body.

An ear-piercing scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered reverberated throughout the entire restaurant, sending the crowd's hair on end, and they could not help but feel sympathy for Huo Yan.

After she was done, Xiao Wan Wan happily peered down at the masterpiece she had created, and a large grin was revealed on her face, "That's what happens when you try to hit on Sister Murong! How could you possibly match up to her? Sister Murong is only reserved for Brother Long Chen!"

She then cheerfully skipped back to her seat, her bright eyes staring at Long Chen, like she was asking for a reward for her actions.

Long Chen's forehead blackened.

He softly knocked on her small head with his knuckles, "Don't talk nonsense."

Murong Xuan only reserved for him? This sentence was rather ambiguous.

Everyone all revealed strange and weird expressions, as they stared at Long Chen.

Xiao Wan Wan angrily pouted as she messaged her head, and stuck her tongue out.

Meanwhile, on Murong Xuan's face was a little faint patch of redness, as the indescribable feeling once again enveloped her.

She hastily circulated the Qi energy within her to disperse of the blush on her face, and returned back to her original cold and icy expression.

And it was only after Xiao Wan Wan's words that were directed towards Long Chen, that Mu Rang noticed him.

Handsome, elegant and noble.

This face was…

"Long Chen?" Mu Rang doubtfully asked as he placed his sights onto Long Chen.

Long Chen raise his head up to meet his gaze, "Do you know me?"

"The new disciple Long Chen, who defeated the Bing Mu, the Rank 2 in the Heaven's Pride Ranking for the Outer Court just yesterday?" Mu Rang eyebrows rose up, his voice raised in surprise.

Long Chen lightly nodded his head in response.

The miserable Huo Yan, who was agonizingly softly crying out in pain, heard Mu Rang's voice.

Even though he did not know much, he had just heard from Mu Rang about the Heaven's Pride Ranking within the Moonlight Sect, which was used to record the most outstanding disciples of the Sect.

And what did he just hear? Rank 2 on the Heaven's Pride Ranking? A new disciple?

Huo Yan really felt like crying.

When did the new disciples become so fierce and powerful?

Out of the three new disciples of the Moonlight Sect that he had offended, two were from the Great Families, while the last one was Rank 2 on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, a dragon amongst men!

He wanted to curse out to the Heavens! How were these people merely new disciples?!

"I watched your fight with Bing Mu in the Combat Hall yesterday. It was spectacular and…astonishing" Mu Rang warmly smiled at Long Chen.

The few youths behind him also nodded their head in agreement.

"Although I'm an Inner Court Disciple, and have experienced things far greater than you Outer Court Disciples, but your fight really surprised me." Mu Rang's pair of eyes shone with an inexplicable glint.

"Thank you." Long Chen lightly smiled back.

"I'll have something to do now. I'll be going first. When you promote to the Inner Court, and meet up with any problems, you can contact me for help."

Mu Rang paused for a moment, then pointed towards Huo Yan, "As for him, you can do anything with him."

Subsequently, the Mu Rang and the group of youths left the restaurant, leaving a terrible looking Huo Yan inside.

Long Chen glanced at Mu Rang's fading back for a while, evidently pondering about something.

"Long Chen, what are you going to do with him?" Xiao Wan Wan asked, as she threw a look of disgust at Huo Yan, along with a hint of pride of the subtle bruises that she had designed on his body previously as though he was a beautiful art piece.

Long Chen shivered involuntarily, as he looked towards the miserable Huo Yan who was clutching his broken parts in pain, then waved his hands and said. "Just leave him be. That's enough."

"Okay" Xiao Wan Wan obediently slumped into her seat, with a bit of disappointment in her eyes.
