Chapter 702 What’s Going on?

In fact, what the Lady of the Clouds was thinking at this time was that Li Mu should leave right away; otherwise, he would be in great danger.
She was kindhearted, and she didn’t want others to be harmed because of her.
However, since she made a name for herself with a dance, many people had been trying to get close and talk to her. For this reason, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan hated those people, and later on, they all died in various strange ways.
She was ignorant of worldly affairs, but she was not foolish. She certainly knew who had killed those people.
Later, she had no choice but to coldly repel all her admirers that attempted passionately to get close to her. She seemed to be out of reach, but she was actually trying to protect them.
She became even colder towards those admirers after she came to know the powerful background and strong power of the Heavenly Deity Clan in the Ziwei Star Zone and the social status of its young master.
She did not want anyone to die because of her.
That was why she acted indifferently when Li Mu came up to talk to her. She did not really hate him. She just wanted to protect this stranger.
“Li Yidao, did you hear me? Get lost!” said Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan.
This time, Li Mu did not restrain himself anymore. Without even raising his eyes, he said, “It’s none of your business.”
Hiss! Hiss!
The crowd gasped.
The young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan was so annoyed that the look on his face immediately changed. “What did you say?”
Li Mu raised his head and looked at the young master. With a smile on his face, he said, “I’m telling you that I am flirting, and it’s none of your business. You asked me to get lost. Is she your fiancée or your mother?”
Hiss! Hiss!
The sounds of gasping rang out again in the crowd.
“Li Yidao… He is so mean in saying that.
“How could he have said something like that in the presence of so many people at the banquet? Has he lost his mind because the Lady of the Clouds rejected him?”
The young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan froze for a moment. His anger was on the verge of exploding.
He gnashed his teeth as he turned his head and looked at Bai Yuanshou. He said, “Uncle Bai, you’ve seen it yourself. It’s not my fault. I want to kill someone now.”
Wisps of translucent golden mist like golden threads burst out from his body. The space and light were slowly distorted under the action of this extremely strange force. A powerful and uncontrollable aura spread out in all directions.
Everyone knew that this peerless genius of the Heavenly Deity Clan, who hadn’t fought a single fight since the commencement of the competition between Heavenly Legends but still firmly held the title of number one Heavenly Legend, was really infuriated this time.
Many people looked at Li Mu sympathetically.
However, the look in Li Mu’s eyes did not change at all.
He reached out his hand slowly to the back of his left shoulder and grabbed the handle of the Samsara Knife.
With the power of his white-bone right arm, Li Mu did not fear any Heavenly Legend in a one-on-one fight now.
A tense atmosphere spread rapidly between the two of them.
Many people did not expect that Li Yidao and the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan would suddenly get into a fight.
Just then, Bai Yuanshou, the Pontifex Vulpes and the host of today’s banquet, finally walked over to them. With a smile on his face, he said, “Both of you are hot-blooded young men. As an old man, I’m really envious of your passion. However, there are many distinguished guests and close friends of mine at today’s banquet. It is inappropriate for you to fight with each other on such an occasion. Why don’t you let go of grudges and turn hostility into friendship?”
With a gloomy look on his face, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan said, “Uncle Bai, I have always been very respectful to you. However, about today’s matter, you have to make a judgment about who is right and who is wrong. Li Yidao harassed my friend insolently. He is deliberately challenging the authority and dignity of the Heavenly Deity Clan. I can’t stand it.”
Bai Yuanshou did not feel unhappy because of the junior’s refusal to follow his words. Instead, he nodded in agreement to the reasons of the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan. He looked at Li Mu and said, “Mr. Li, what Huangfu Chengdao said makes sense. What you have done just now is really inappropriate.”
Li Mu smiled and said, “I just want to talk to my friend for a while. What’s wrong with that? It’s the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan that keeps asking me to get out of here. Ha-ha, isn’t he thinking too highly of himself?”
Duan Shenping, Ye Tianxie, and the others almost lost control and swore at Li Mu when they heard what he said.
“How shameless he is!
“Who is the one that grabbed the handle of his knife and asked others to get lost when he tried to win the favor of Daji the little princess?
“Isn’t it you, Li Yidao?
“And you are now using such shameless reasons to refute the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan?”
Sure enough, when Huangfu Chengdao, the Young Master of the Heavenly God Clan, heard Li Mu’s words, he sneered and said, “Your friend? Who is your friend? You’re just a country bumpkin. How shameless you are in adding feathers to your cap! Do you deserve to be friends with the Lady of the Clouds?”
Li Mu felt contempt for the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan. He said, “It’s not for you or me to decide whether I deserve to be her friend or not. The decision is up to the Lady of the Clouds. Who are you to her? Don’t always make decisions for her, okay?”
Other people were secretly laughing at Li Yidao for being so stubborn and saying those meaningless words when things had gone this far.
However, the Lady of the Clouds felt differently when she heard what Li Mu said.
Since she came to the Star River, she had gone through many dangers and fought numerous fights to find that person on her mind. It was not until she met the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan that she finally stopped worrying all day long. At first, she thought that she had made friends with a gentleman, but later, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan began to meddle in her personal life and make decisions for her and killed a lot of people because of her. All that he did was for her own good, but he restricted her freedom, which made her a little unhappy.
For some reasons, she was unable to tell Huangfu Chengdao how she felt.
However, a stranger wearing a strange mask was now taking the words out of her mouth. She was greatly shocked and surprised at that.
At the same time, she suddenly began to have a somewhat inexplicable good feeling for the masked man.
Li Mu keenly perceived the change in her mind.
He smiled and winked at the Lady of the Clouds.
For a moment, the Lady of the Clouds suddenly felt that this look was so familiar to her, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Li Mu continued. “Her face is seen in flower and her dress in cloud, a beauty by the rails caressed by vernal breeze. If not a fairy queen from Jade-Green Mountains proud, she’s Goddess of Moon in Crystal Hall one sees.”
Shocked, the Lady of the Clouds stared blankly at Li Mu with her bright shining eyes, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Her heart started jumping wildly.
She covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief.
This poem.
It was this poem.
This poem sounded so familiar to her.
It was one of the three most important poems in her life.
She suddenly understood why she felt that the eyes of the masked man looked a little familiar to her… It was him.
He was finally here.
At this moment, without asking, worrying, thinking or caring about anything, she directly flung herself into Li Mu’s arms and held him tight. She was afraid that everything in front of her would turn out to be an empty dream and come to naught like what she had experienced in countless midnight dreams.
All the attendees at the banquet were dumbfounded when they saw that.
“What’s going on?
“What’s this all about?
“How could he make the Lady of the Clouds, the most beautiful goddess in the Ziwei Star Zone, fling herself into his arms directly just by reciting a poem?”
Duan Shenping, Ye Tianxie, and the other Heavenly Legends who had been laughing at Li Mu suddenly stood rooted to the spot as if they had been struck by lightning. The mocking smile on their faces had not disappeared yet, but it was frozen on their faces.
The masters of the older generation, including Bai Yuanshou, also looked shocked.
Of course, the person that was shocked the most was Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan.
He could not understand why the Lady of the Clouds threw herself into Li Yidao’s arms. It felt as if something suddenly collapsed and broke.
“Why is this happening?
“It is certainly not because that poem is good.”
He stared fixedly at Li Mu and the Lady of the Clouds in Li Mu’s arms.
Li Mu, however, paid no attention to anyone else.
He just didn’t expect that Hua Xiangrong’s emotions would burst out so fiercely.
He recited this poem because it created a linkage between him and Hua Xiangrong back then. At that time, the Heavenly Land was still an unexplored, insignificant planet, so the story behind this poem remained largely untold. Therefore, even if the Heavenly Deity Clan or the Heavenly Fox Clan launched an investigation, they would not find out anything valuable.
By the time they found some clues, Li Mu would have already gotten out of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, solved the matter with Daji, and returned to the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
Li Mu gently patted Hua Xiangrong on the back and said, “Well, we meet again. Don’t worry. I won’t let you leave this time.”
Only then did Hua Xiangrong free herself from Li Mu’s arms.
She looked at Li Mu’s mask, stared into his eyes, and suddenly smiled through tears. She took hold of his arm and stood on his right side, looking as if she couldn’t wait to lean on him.
She was not the way she used to be.
However, she had been separated from Li Mu for too long, and she had been missing him so much. She had had enough of the torment of missing him each day and night. No matter what others thought, she just wanted to hold this man tight and never part with him again.
How and what others thought about it was meaningless to her.
She only cared about him now.
He was her everything.
Such a scene made the practitioners around them feel shocked and envious once again.
“Judging from Li Yidao’s words, the two of them are old acquaintances.
“They already knew each other a long time ago.
“It is highly likely that they used to be lovers.
“That’s enough to explain what had just happened.”
Many people gradually took their eyes off Li Yidao and the Lady of the Clouds and looked at Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan.
Now, it was his turn to feel embarrassed.
Li Yidao had won the beauty’s favor, while the unrequited Huangfu Chengdao had brought shame upon himself.
