CHAPTER TEXT:
~Date:~ September 15th~
At this moment, several young disciples of the Zhuge family were entangled in open and covert struggles, creating a chaotic scene. On the surface, everyone appeared amicable, with brothers treating each other with respect and politeness, but behind the scenes, they were setting traps, badmouthing each other, and undermining one another.
In just a few days, rumors began to circulate wildly, and it turned out that each of the young masters of the Zhuge family had suddenly been accused of having numerous illegitimate children…
The tension escalated.
This situation gave Zhuge Shanyun a headache; he never expected that not only did they take in a female ancestor, but she also turned out to be a source of trouble…
However, the patriarch's worries quickly dissipated, as these fellows soon encountered their rivals.
After the Ye family’s second young master, Ye Shifeng, laid eyes on Wu Qianqian, he became somewhat infatuated, unsure if it was due to her beauty or her identity, and joined the ranks of suitors. Every day he waited beneath the building, eagerly anticipating her appearance, and the elegant black attire of the Ye family made him look even more imposing.
The following day, people from the Lan family also arrived. After their arrival, several young masters wasted no time joining the contest for beauty…
With the Ye, Lan, and Zhuge families having their own grievances, they became rivals in love, creating a tense atmosphere that resembled a three-state balance of power.
Other young masters from smaller noble families retreated to the sidelines.
Only Ye Shifeng, Zhuge Changchang, and Lan Changge locked eyes with each other.
For a moment, the scene was filled with tension, like a group of peacocks displaying their feathers.
Some even set up a betting pool to see who could win the heart of this fairy, and all the young masters eagerly placed their bets, turning Heaven's Secret City into a hub of excitement!
News spread quickly, and members of another influential family, the Ye family, initially still on their way, heard that the world's most beautiful woman had appeared here. Young Master Ye Mengse's desire to protect this flower ignited, fearing that someone else might take advantage. He abandoned his larger party and rushed over alone.
The three-way standoff quickly transformed into a four-way battle, and the competition intensified.
Upon arriving, Ye Shifeng put on a cool demeanor, dressed in black, standing still like a pile of coal, dark and striking.
Zhuge Changchang… Well, an explanation is needed here. This Zhuge Changchang truly lived up to his name; he was tall and striking… or rather, his stature was beyond “tall and striking.”
Though he was well-proportioned, he was exceptionally tall. For an average man, 1.78 meters would be considered adequate, while above 1.80 meters is definitely tall!
But Zhuge Changchang was a staggering 2.5 meters tall! When he stood there, he was truly a towering figure! Especially in his white attire, he looked like a crane among chickens.
The eldest young master of the Zhuge family always wanted to read Qianqian's palm and discuss life, aspirations, and ideals… but he never got the chance.
Lan Changge had been singing while holding a zither since he arrived.
After Ye Mengse came, he began composing poems; in just a few days, someone had compiled his spontaneous verses into a poetry collection that allegedly contained dozens of pieces, each a masterpiece…
Within the Zhuge family, a gathering of phoenixes seeking the phoenix!
Every day felt like a grand performance.
This excitement was simply… cough, cough, as Ye Changzui would say: a celestial being releasing a fart—unparalleled…
However, despite the persistent advances of the young masters, the black-clad fairy maintained her aloof demeanor: perpetually cold and distant, showing no warmth to anyone.
Ye Shifeng was ignored, Zhuge Changchang's palm-reading request was mercilessly rejected, and he received a scolding; after singing for several days, Lan Changge finally prompted a question that halted his performance.
