However, he did not think that they would be able to come across them so easily. Qing Shui did not know how strong they were nor did he ask Canghai Mingyue as he felt that it was meaningless.
As for the Imperial Beast Aristocrat, Qing Shui did not hear Canghai Mingyue pointing them out. Reputable clans tended to have smaller headcounts compared to sects, and some of them may even have very small numbers. Power might not be fully reliant on numbers.
Qing Shui and his company attracted quite a lot of attention on the way. After all, there were two ladies who were eye-catching wherever they went. It would be hard not to notice them.
“Brother, did you see the two beauties over there? They’re really beautiful. It’s suitable to describe them as angels from the heavens. Should we try to seize the beauties?” An ugly young man who was rat-eyed and buck-headed asked the tallest and sturdiest looking man amongst the group of ten beside him.
“Slap!”
The young man received a slap on his head.
“To hell with you. Seize the beauties? Didn’t you see how many men were hankering for them? Do you know why no one had taken any action?‘ The tall and sturdy man said harshly.
“Why?” The lean and small young man with a wretched looked asked, grieved.
“To hell with you. It goes to say that they are very strong or come from very strong backgrounds. Even if neither were true, do you think we would be able to succeed?” The tall and sturdy man said as if he had much experience.
“If it weren’t for these two factors, why would we not succeed?”
“Think about it. There are so many people hankering for those two ladies. The one who’s more beautiful even exudes an aura that keeps people away. If we were to go up and seize them, what do you think they will do?” The tall and sturdy man said mysteriously. Qing Shui just happened to land his gaze on that man. He could not help but hear what they were saying thanks to his keen hearing and the man’s loud voice.
“What would they do? Do you think they would fight us?” The wretched looking lean young man asked in surprise.
“They’ll play the hero to save the beauties.” The tall and sturdy looking man said intelligently.
“Ahhh, our boss is the cleverest. Then, do we wait to play the hero to save the beauties?” The lean young man asked lewdly.
“To hell with you. We are nothing in this area. Let’s go!”
“Did you hear that? You two ladies are the most beautiful around here and so many people are thinking of kidnapping you.” Qing Shui laughed and said. He knew that they should have heard the conversation. After all, they had gradually closed in to that group from earlier.
“There are many of these kinds of people around in the southern gate, but many of them know their place. If they don’t, they would have long been dead. Therefore, those who are left know where they stand and would only bully the commoners who are weaker than them.” Canghai Mingyue did not blame Qing Shui would took the opportunity to tease them.
“Are there not many people in this area who recognize our Young Miss Mingyue?” Qing Shui asked curiously.
“Haha, I’m not well known in this area since I spend most of my time in other cities and seldomly stay around here. Though, when I was young, my parents did bring me around here often.” Canghai Mingyue laughed and replied.
“Sh*t.” Qing Shui said bitterly.
“What’s wrong?” Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li asked concurrently.
“I dare say that within 15 minutes, there’ll be someone who will try to hijack you or strike a conversation. There will be a conflict.” Qing Shui rubbed his nose as he smiled and said.
“Are you serious? You must be thinking too much.” Huoyun Liu-Li looked at Qing Shui with a weird look.
On the other hand, Canghai Mingyue turned her head to look at a few young men who were walking over from a short distance away.
Huoyun Liu-Li was also surprised when she saw this before she turned to glare at Qing Shui angrily. Her expression was indescribably moving, carrying a tinge of blame in her charm.
“Miss, would you be interested in joining us for a drink?”
Qing Shui looked speechlessly at the most flirtatious fellow amongst the three young men. He looked quite handsome, but his head was inclined at an angle, even when he was staring straight at Canghai Mingyue.
The three young men were all around 25-26 years old, appearing with a tinge of elegance in their pure white clothes. As the saying goes, a tailor makes a fine man. Qing Shui believed that as long as the person was not very ugly, they would look quite presentable if they wore the same clothes. Of course, if they were to have a better disposition, they would appear even more outstanding enough that people may ignore their looks. It was too bad that this fellow before him had a bit of arrogance and no disposition. Thankfully enough, he had good skin.
