Chapter 1410 — Not Worth a Glance
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
That one sentence had Yu Feng smoking with rage. Is this fellow brainless or what? Such an obvious hint, and you can't take it? At his wit's end, Yu Feng said furiously and bluntly, "Sir, I am about to have dinner with my girlfriend. Why don't you go eat too, okay?"
"Your girlfriend?" Chen Yuxuan could not help but frown at that. He had not meant to meddle — Qiu Lingshan was not his girlfriend, after all, and he had no proper standing to interfere — but hearing Yu Feng go further and further, Chen Yuxuan finally could not hold back.
Qiu Lingshan was not his girlfriend, but she was like a little sister to him, and she held an important place in his heart. Chen Yuxuan could accept her being with someone she liked; so long as Qiu Lingshan was happy, he would say nothing. But he would absolutely not allow anyone she disliked to harass her.
In the past, Chen Yuxuan would not have dared to square off against Yu Feng with such confidence. Yu Feng was a Profound-rank expert, after all, while he had then been only an early Yellow-rank expert — the gulf between them could not have been better described than as the distance between heaven and earth. But things were different now. Both were Profound-rank experts, and Chen Yuxuan's words carried far more weight.
"Naturally. Lingshan, what's the matter with this colleague of yours? Why is he sticking his nose into other people's private affairs?" Yu Feng wanted nothing more than to slap Chen Yuxuan flying, but for Qiu Lingshan's sake he held himself in check and merely voiced a complaint.
"Other people's affairs I can leave alone, but when it comes to my little sister Lingshan, I must see to them!" Chen Yuxuan, too, was thoroughly angered by Yu Feng's contemptuous attitude. He rose to his feet and looked coldly at Yu Feng. "Yu Feng, is it? A man ought to have some backbone. The lady doesn't like you, and still you pester her — what is that supposed to mean? Do you think there's any point in it?"
"And what are you?" Yu Feng had not expected this man to call Qiu Lingshan "Lingshan" and insist on meddling, and now to lecture him about backbone and not pestering a woman — who did he think he was? Daring to make a scene in front of him? If Qiu Lingshan had not been there, Yu Feng would have thrown a punch long ago.
"My surname is Chen — Chen Yuxuan." Chen Yuxuan extended his hand and said mildly, "I imagine you've heard my name."
"Ha!" Yu Feng looked at the offered hand and showed not the slightest inclination to take it. Instead he burst out laughing. "And here I was wondering who it could be — turns out it's the Chen family's little nobody. Whether your Chen family can even keep its standing as a great family at this Assembly is anyone's guess, and here you are strutting about. An early Yellow-rank expert? Oh, forgive me — I don't know whether you've advanced recently. Perhaps you're a peak early Yellow-rank expert by now, for all I know."
"Yu Feng, mind your tongue. Is this what the heir of the Yu family looks like?" Chen Yuxuan withdrew his hand, angered by Yu Feng's manner.
He had offered his hand of his own accord, yet Yu Feng had looked straight through it — a gesture that plainly showed he did not hold Chen Yuxuan in his eyes at all.
