Chapter 643: Shang Jifeng's Sister Shang Yafang
Xiang Shaoyun had always been very confident in his looks. Growing up, he might not have had a face loved by all, but still, he had a face that had been praised by many. The number of women pursuing him at Martial Hall Palace, Cloud Margin Pavilion, and Dragon Phoenix Academy was proof of that.
He had merely been too busy for romance, which was why he did not have many women by his side. This was the very first time someone had called him shifty-eyed. But when his gaze landed on the person calling him that, he finally understood why.
That person was the actual shifty-eyed person, with long and perky eyelashes and a tiny pair of eyes. In fact, it was like his eyes were always shut. They were so small one could hardly get a clear look of his eyes. His face was as slim as the face of a monkey, and he had a whisker-like mustache above his lips. The mustache was extremely comical, looking more like eyebrows than a mustache.
That guy is jealous of my looks! Xiang Shaoyun thought to himself.
His gaze then landed on a young lady seated on a handsome steed. The young lady wore a light muslin outfit. The outfit was thin, showcasing her nicely matured bosom and her slender waist.
She had an hourglass figure, and with her long, slender legs resting on both sides of the horse, she exuded a bewitching allure. On top of all that, she also had a charmingly beautiful face. She was most certainly a beautiful young lady.
Around her were several Kings and an Emperor. From that, it could be seen that she most likely was a woman of considerable status. Holding a whip, she pointed at Xiang Shaoyun and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you asking about our Shang Clan?"
Due to Xiang Shaoyun's good looks and his pair of bewitching eyes, the young woman's heartbeat accelerated, and she was behaving in a much less unruly manner than she usually would. Usually, in a situation like this, she would have whipped Xiang Shaoyun before asking anything.
Xiang Shaoyun flashed a warm smile and said, "I am Xiang Shaoyun, and I know Shang Jifeng. I'm here looking for him."
"Audacious! How dare you address the young master by his name? You must be trying to die!" berated the shifty-eyed guy.
But as soon as he said that, the young lady's whip struck him.
Pa!
He wailed in pain.
"Young lady, why did you hit me?" asked the shifty-eyed guy sullenly.
"You have no place to speak. Piss off," said the young lady with a look of loathing.
With his hand on his face that had just been whipped, the shifty-eyed guy quickly stepped back and inwardly cursed, The heavens must be blind! Why is the young lady hitting someone as handsome as me? I should just die!
"You know my big brother?" asked the young lady.
"Shang Jifeng is your big brother?" Xiang Shaoyun blurted in astonishment.
He had never imagined that he would meet Shang Jifeng's little sister here on the street. That was quite lucky of him.
"Of course. Did my big brother not introduce his adorable little sister that is loved by all, Shang Yafang?" said the young lady as she pouted resentfully.
She then hopped off the horse, stepped forward, and asked, "Are you lying to me? My big brother is not home."
Although she was somewhat smitten by the handsome young man, she still maintained her reason and knew to question his words. Xiang Shaoyun met Shang Yafang's gaze with his unblinking eyes and said, "I know your brother has joined the Dragon Phoenix Academy, but he should have returned recently, right?"
Shang Yafang opened her mouth in shock before exhaling and said, "Looks like you're really my big brother's friend. You wouldn't have known otherwise." She smiled. "Since you're my big brother's friend, let me invite you to our home. What is your name?"
Since young, Shang Yafang had idolized her big brother. Not only was he talented, he was also a person of sound judgment. Thus, his friend would most certainly be an outstanding individual as well.
This handsome man standing before her was proof of that. He was even more handsome than her big brother, and he exuded a certain charm that made it hard for one to stop thinking about him.
"I am Xiang Shaoyun, and since your big brother is a brother of mine, I'll just call you Sister Yafang," said Xiang Shaoyun with a genial smile.
"Um. I'll call you Big Brother Shaoyun, is that fine?' Shang Yafang asked bashfully.
"Of course! I'm happy to meet you!"
"Same here. Well, I'll take you home first. My big brother has left, and I don't know when he'll be back."
And thus, Xiang Shaoyun followed Shang Yafang to the Shang Clan's residence. Along their way, Shang Yafang talked without end, like a happy bird. She was busy introducing the local traditions and customs to Xiang Shaoyun, displaying her vivacious and adorable side.
Xiang Shaoyun responded accordingly, and with the occasional humorous reply, he rapidly increased Shang Yafang's impression of him.
Inwardly, she thought, Wouldn't it be good if I could be his lover?
As she thought of that, her face blushed, and she thought herself too shameless to be thinking that way. After a while, they reached the Shang Clan's residence. The Shang Clan was the biggest clan in Shang City, and they ruled the more than 10 cities in the surrounding area and the tens of organizations of differing sizes. Naturally, their residence looked imposing and incredible.
Numerous gorgeous and ancient buildings dotted the landscape, decorated by lush vegetation, rock gardens, bonsai plants, and picturesque streams of water. The residence was luxurious yet refined, soothing the heart of all who walked the residence grounds.
As the patriarch's granddaughter, Shang Yafang was actually returning with a young man, attracting many gazes. Some elders even looked at them with ambiguous gazes, assuming that Xiang Shaoyun was the husband Shang Yafang had picked for herself. Their gazes made Xiang Shaoyun somewhat uncomfortable.
Soon, Xiang Shaoyun was settled in a guest house.
"Big Brother Shaoyun, stay here for now. I'll talk to my father about this. Otherwise, they will be worried sick that I'm suddenly bringing a man back," said Shang Yafang.
"Yes, that is only proper. Go ahead," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"Ok. If you need anything, just call for the servants. I'll be back soon," said Shang Yafang. After giving him a wink, she turned and strode away, moving like an elegant little fairy, her clothes trailing behind her.
Xiang Shaoyun was unaware of the feelings she harbored for him. He just assumed that as a young lady of a big clan, she knew how to carry herself with proper etiquette. If the Shang Clan members knew his evaluation of her, they would probably laugh so hard they would lose their breath. In the clan, Shang Yafang was known for being fierce and unruly. Many clan members had suffered from her doings.
