Chapter 223

The surrounding voices were filled with mockery towards Gu Chen, but most of them were actually disrespecting Ye Qingshuang.

Gu Chen had originally thought that with Ye Qingshuang's looks and talent, she would be very popular wherever she went. Why did everyone's tone seem a little off?

He turned to look at Ye Qingshuang. Her lips were tightly pursed, and her expression was even colder. It was obvious that she had heard the discussions around them.

This was not strange. Everyone present was a cultivator and had extraordinary hearing. If they did not want others to hear them, they should have used methods such as Divine Sense Transmission. However, they were whispering as if they were discussing in private, and deliberately letting Ye Qingshuang hear them.

"What's going on?"

Before Gu Chen could figure out the reason behind this, he saw a young girl holding another man's arm and walking over in a few steps.

"Ah, Qingshuang, you're here too. Who's this? Is he your boyfriend? "

The young girl's voice was sweet. Gu Chen took a closer look. She had a foxy face and a huge chest. It was Ling Xiaoxiao.

She had clearly seen him before. Why was she pretending not to know him?

Just as Gu Chen was feeling puzzled, Ye Qingshuang spoke coldly. "Who he is has nothing to do with you. Move aside."

The relationship between the two was obviously not too friendly.

Ling Xiaoxiao ignored him and suddenly stared straight at Gu Chen. After a moment, she spoke in surprise.

"Ah, this seems to be Manager Chen from the Book Collection Tower! Eh, Manager Chen, don't you need to organize your books today? What are you doing here at Chuyun Tower? "

Her voice was very loud. Many students in Chuyun Tower heard her immediately.

"Manager? That guy is a small manager of the Book Collection Tower? Isn't he the son of some big family? "

"It can't be, right? Ye Qingshuang ignored the pursuit of so many young geniuses and actually walked together with a small manager?"

"Hmph, as expected of a woman from a barbaric land. So what if she has the Martial Sage Physique? Her standards are still so low!"

"I tried so hard to woo her for so long. I thought she was really virtuous, but it turns out she's so cheap!"

As Gu Chen's identity was exposed by Ling Xiaoxiao, the surrounding whispers became even more unbearable. Ye Qingshuang's face turned pale.

Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with pride as she looked at her.

Gu Chen looked at the crowd, especially the jealous expressions of the women and the resentful expressions of the men. Suddenly, he understood what was going on.

Ye Qingshuang was a proud and aloof person. She had been like this ever since she was in Feng Lin Manor.

With her beauty and outstanding talent, she would definitely attract the jealousy of many women and the restlessness of men.

She was a girl who came from a remote place in the Eastern Wilderness and had no one to rely on in the Middle Earth Empire. She was probably an easy target in the eyes of many aristocratic families.

However, they never expected that she would be too aloof and disregard any man's pursuit. These people became angry out of humiliation and were naturally happy to slander her.

Gu Chen suddenly felt some sympathy for Ye Qingshuang. Although her personality was indeed unlikable, there was no reason for her to suffer such criticism.

Furthermore, Ling Xiaoxiao dared to use him as a joke. She's courting death!

For a moment, Gu Chen stared coldly at Ling Xiaoxiao.

A few days ago, when Huo Haishan, Wei Jiechao, and a large group of people stopped him, they said that they had investigated his background, which was why they dared to act so brazenly.

Back then, there was such a short period of time. Where did they get this result from?

It was most likely Ling Xiaoxiao who had spoken to him before who told them!

It was one thing for this woman to be very practical, but she even schemed against him and made fun of him today. Did she really think that he was a pushover?

Seeing Gu Chen looking at her with a murderous look, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but grab the arm of the man beside her.

"Young Master Zhu, he's glaring at me. I'm scared."

She acted like a little bird, but she couldn't conceal the pride in her expression.

Today, there was a gathering in the Clear Breeze Courtyard. It wasn't easy for her to get a connection with the man beside her and enter this place.

The man she had just hooked up with was called Zhu Yilun. He was an expert ranked eighth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. His family background was also rather prominent, and he was much stronger than Huo Haishan and Wei Jiechao who were wooing her previously.

Just as she was proudly showing off her new boyfriend, she suddenly saw Ye Qingshuang walk in with an extremely familiar person by her side. She couldn't help but walk closer to take a look.

Only then did she realize that the person by Ye Qingshuang's side was actually the small manager of the library that she had previously mistakenly thought to have some powerful background and tried to hook up with.

When she discovered this, she immediately felt a surge of joy in her heart.

This Ye Qingshuang's looks surpassed hers, and her talent surpassed hers. She had long since disliked her.

Especially when she had just lost to her not too long ago, causing her ranking to fall on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. She had long been filled with resentment towards her.

An opportunity to humiliate her was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thus, she had deliberately come up and put on such a show.

The effect of this show was obviously very good. That aloof and virtuous Ye Qingshuang's expression was incomparably ugly after being humiliated by her. Her image in the eyes of many men had also plummeted.

This made her too happy. In comparison, she didn't even take this small manager, Chen Gu's anger seriously.

She had heard that Huo Haishan and his group had been taught a lesson by him. He might have some strength, but compared to Young Master Zhu, who was beside him, he was far inferior.

At this moment, she was fearless, like a proud peacock showing its beautiful wings. Ye Qingshuang, on the other hand, was dejected in front of her for the first time.

"Hmm? It's only been a few days, and that brat, Chen Gu, has hooked up with Qingshuang? "

In the private room of Chuyun Restaurant, Mu Ziyu, who was sipping tea with others, heard the commotion downstairs. She looked out of the window and couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.

She was the founder of Qingfeng Villa, so she was invited to every gathering. Today, she happened to be free, so she came over to have a chat. She didn't expect to see such a scene.

When Chen Gu first entered True Martial Arts Academy and met Ye Qingshuang, Mu Ziyu found out that he was staring at her. She was very displeased.

At that time, she deliberately hinted that Ye Qingshuang didn't like him at all.

She didn't expect that after only a few days, he would actually be together with Ye Qingshuang.

She understood Ye Qingshuang's arrogance very well, so when she saw this scene, she felt that it was too strange.

"What kind of charm does this Chen Gu have? Lanchu seems to have some feelings for him, and Qingshuang seems to be treating him differently in just a few days."

"Both of them are great beauties, and their talents are top-notch as well. Why would they like such a good-for-nothing man?"

She was puzzled and couldn't help but pay attention to the situation downstairs.

What was so special about this Chen Gu could be seen from how he dealt with this matter.

Regardless of whether Ye Qingshuang was his girlfriend or not, the two of them were being humiliated together. If he didn't respond, he would become a laughing stock.

"At this moment, many young talents from the great forces of Nine States have gathered in Chuyun Restaurant. Every one of them is more handsome and outstanding than you."

"Chen Gu, I want to see what kind of ability you have to make Lanchu treat you differently."

Mu Ziyu murmured.
