Chapter 1000: Twilight City (18)

She… left just like that?

Not only the citizens of Twilight City, even Elder Wen and Geng Di were struck dumb.

They had already prepared a bellyful of criticisms to deal with Shen Yanxiao. But how could they have predicted that she would suddenly leave?

Looking at the two streaks of light leaving at high speed, no one had recovered from their previous shock.

What was going on?

She was causing trouble in the City Lord’s Mansion—even insulting the guests. In the end, all she had to say saw that she was sick?

Elder Wen, Geng Di, and Luo Fan suddenly felt as if they had been slapped in the face by Shen Yanxiao.

If you don’t want to come, then don’t come. You came here ostentatiously and shocked everyone with your swagger, but you just suddenly left? Does your family know that you’re testing other people’s nerves like that?

Elder Wen’s face flushed red. His stomach full of insults had been forcefully suppressed by Shen Yanxiao’s actions. This situation where someone disrespecting him without him being released his anger caused smoke to rise from the head of this respected elder.

Long Xueyao blinked. She had no idea why Shen Yanxiao had come here.

“Father, City Lord Shen…” Long Xueyao looked at Long Fei with hesitation.

Long Fei revealed an appreciative smile and said in a soft voice, “City Lord Shen is indeed smart. She has already realized that Twilight City does not welcome her. The relations.h.i.+p between Sun Never Sets and Fantasy Devil City has always been at odds. She must have known that Fantasy Devil City and Twilight City would join hands to deal with her during the banquet today. Therefore, she might as well stay out of it and leave those with ill intentions to suffer a belly full of anger.” Long Fei finally felt better after suppressing his emotions for an entire night. Shen Yanxiao’s actions did not give them any chance to retaliate.

Just by looking at Elder Wen and Geng Di’s dark expressions, one could tell how stifled they felt.

What made them want to vomit blood was that they were disrespected in front of everyone. Before they could retaliate, the other party had left without any hesitation.

“But… if she doesn’t wish to partic.i.p.ate, why would she come in person? Besides… the excuse she came up with is such an obvious lie.” Long Xueyao felt awkward. Shen Yanxiao said that she was unwell and could not partic.i.p.ate in the banquet. However, looking at her, her complexion was rosy, seemingly in high spirits. It was as if she was not sick at all.

Any sensible person would know that what she said was as an excuse.

Long Xueyao could not understand Shen Yanxiao’s thoughts.

Long Fei chuckled and said, “Even though you are two years older than Shen Yanxiao, your intelligence cannot be compared to hers. By doing this, she is giving Elder Wen a hard time.”

Two mythical beasts had appeared arrogantly in Twilight, displaying their might. By leaving behind such an obvious excuse, it was evident that she wanted to tell everyone that she did not wish to partic.i.p.ate in the banquet. With the two mythical beasts present, Elder Wen would have to think twice if he wanted to flare up.

Shen Yanxiao’s actions were arrogant, but Long Fei, who knew the inside story, felt satisfied.

If Shen Yanxiao were to partic.i.p.ate in the banquet tonight, Elder Wen, Geng Di and that young man named Luo Fan would certainly mock and ridicule her with numerous topics they prepared beforehand.

She had left without giving them a chance to mock her while also threatening them. That was what it meant to be clever.
