This young man was exceptionally handsome, especially with his narrow, cold eyes.Double Aristocrat.Huaqing!
Seeing that someone on his side had arrived, he had to drag someone down with him. He shouted, "Big Brother Double Aristocrat, help me!"
Officials always protected each other. In the Galaxy Alliance Center, although Honorary Aristocrats often fought each other in order to advance, but facing enemies from outside, they stood together to fight them off. Seeing this situation, Huaqing shouted, "How dare you!"
He moved forward and struck Quentin with his palm, causing a wave of energy. He attacked lackey Li Yang with another wave of his palm.
Without saying anything, he struck a man and a tiger swiftly and fiercely. Quentin and Li Yang quickly avoided him.
Regaining his freedom, Tianyi stood up and hugged Huaqing"s leg. "Big Brother Double Aristocrat, thankfully you came. Otherwise, I wouldn"t know where to put my face…"
There was not much compet.i.tion between both. Ordinary Honorary Aristocrats and Double Honorary Aristocrats were under two different systems. There was no dispute of interest. Hence, it was easier to establish a relations.h.i.+p.
"What happened?" Huaqing frowned. "How did you get involved with them, and you lost?"
"Actually… it"s nothing…" Tianyi was a little depressed. "I just wanted to pick up some girls, but not only did I fail, I even got beaten up…"
"Pick up girls?" Huaqing appeared odd. He looked at Tianyi, then turn around to look at Tang Muxin and the other two ladies on the bench. Finally, his gaze froze on Jiang Qianxue, who was among the crowd. He was shocked as he quickly bowed. "I didn"t think Miss Qianxue would be here. Gold-level Honorary Aristocrat Mu Huaqing greets my Lord."
Lord?!
Tianyi was almost scared to death by that term!
Someone whom an Honorary Aristocrat would call "Lord", there was only one possibility—this silver-colored hair beauty was a Galaxy Aristocrat?!
Finished, I"m finished…
Tianyi said with his trembling voice, "Lord, I failed to recognize you earlier. I didn"t know you were here…" His sweat fell like a waterfall—flirting with a Galaxy Aristocrat in public could get his p.e.n.i.s cut off!
"Leave." Jiang Qianxue waved her hand casually. "Seeing that you did not go too far, I"ll let it go this time. Mind your behavior. If I find out that you did something like this again, I"ll break your legs."
"Yes… yes…" Tianyi quickly retreated.
There was a reason why Jiang Qianxue was so magnanimous—why did Tianyi approach them? It was because he found them attractive. Women were generally unreasonable. It was a conflict caused by their beauty, they naturally did not mind…
At this moment, the crowd was shocked. They whispered among themselves as they bowed. "No wonder they are so pretty. They are Galaxy Aristocrats! Oh my G.o.d!" "Galaxy Aristocrats are different, indeed. Look at them. They look so n.o.ble even without their cloaks. Incredible!"
As they discussed, Mu Huaqing respectfully asked Jiang Qianxue, "Can I help you with anything, my Lord?"
"No," Jiang Qianxue answered coldly. "We"re waiting for someone."
Hearing that, Mu Huaqing and Tianyi were shocked. What kind of person could make a Galaxy Aristocrat wait for them?!
…
On Hong Dali"s side.
"In this case," Hong Dali touched his chin. "the situation in your shop sounds complicated. I don"t have much of an impression of it. How about this, lead us to your shop to take a look. If it"s okay, I"ll buy a few more shops."
"Yes… yes!" The middle-aged boss quickly agreed when he heard that.
When Hong Dali went out to look for Tang Muxin and the rest, he was shocked when he saw the crowd. "Aye, why are there so many people?" Then, he looked at Tianyi and Mu Huaqing. "Who are they?"
Tianyi stared with his eyes wide open when he saw Hong Dali—a Galaxy Aristocrat was out in the streets and was waiting for someone. It turned out the person she was waiting for was a young man like that? Who was this young man?! Which Galaxy Aristocrat family did he come from? Which Young Master from an even higher Galaxy Aristocrat family?!
Mu Huaqing thought of one person instantly—he had previously gotten the information of the legendary string-puller Hong Dali!
"This Hong Dali," Mu Huaqing thought in his heart. "his relations.h.i.+p with Miss Qianxue is not simple! I have to take note of this!"
"Dali." Seeing Dali, Tang Muxin quickly approached him. "How did it go?"
"So-so." Hong Dali sniffled. "I need to take a look at the shop. It seems complicated."
Seeing that the person that a Galaxy Aristocrat was waiting for had appeared, a million things went through Tianyi"s mind in an instant.
All things aside, although Tianyi was arrogant and lewd, he was rather brainy. This Dali, who had the ability to have a Galaxy Aristocrat wait for him, must be quite powerful. But wait a minute, Dali, why did that sound so familiar…
Soon, he came around!
"Ahhhhh!" Tianyi looked at Hong Dali carefully and exclaimed in shock. "You"re the legendary Double Honorary Aristocrat Hong Dali, right? I"ve heard of your great name! I didn"t think I"d see you here!" With a Galaxy Aristocrat around, he should not have a chance to speak. But he was smart—he decisively suck-up to Hong Dali. His offence towards a Galaxy Aristocrat would definitely be forgotten.
Indeed, hearing that, Jiang Qianxue laughed.
This Hong Dali seemed to attract attention wherever he went…
Hong Dali was taken aback. "You know me?"
"Yes, of course!" Tianyi chuckled as he sized up Hong Dali. "You own quite a few shops in Star Harbor." He then looked at the trembling middle-aged man who wanted to sell Hong Dali his shop. "What is going on? Are you buying another shop?"
Aye? This person is quite tactful, I like him!
Hong Dali beamed. "That"s right. He has a shop that has been losing money. It"s very suitable for a squanderer like me. Hehe!"
"Oh, oh, oh." Tianyi was shocked. "Big Bro Dali"s skills are marvelous. I admit defeat—can you teach me a few moves? I can earn some pocket money too. How is it?" He was smart, indeed. With just a few words, the tense situation from before was resolved.
Even Tang Muxin and the rest stared in bewilderment. "This person changed too quickly!"
Li Yang sensed danger—this rascal Tianyi, is he trying to s.n.a.t.c.h our business!
"Har?" Hong Dali was shocked. "I"m a squanderer. I could teach you to squander, but earn money?"
"Aiya, Big Bro Dali, don"t be so humble." Tianyi quickly cozied up to Hong Dali and smiled. "Your shops are sure to profit. Why else would you sell one equipment a day like rubbish? Even if we are Honorary Aristocrats, that couldn"t possibly support your squandering ways, right? That"s why you must have something else up your sleeves. How about you share it?"
His thoughts were logical, but it depended on who he was talking to—Hong Dali really just wanted to squander. Tianyi was sure to be disappointed…
"I really just want to squander…" Hong Dali touched his nose. "I said I"m a prodigal. How can a prodigal earn money?"
This time, it was Tianyi"s turn to be stunned. Mu Huaqing was stunned too.
As a gold-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, Hong Dali clearly had a close relations.h.i.+p with Galaxy Aristocrat Jiang Qianxue. He could even make her wait for him. But this string-puller is too much. He actually said he was a prodigal and could not earn money? What was he thinking?
Tianyi always thought he was very smart. But facing Hong Dali, he didn"t know what was going on.
But he remembered one thing clearly—to have such a strong backing like the White Beard giant and to let a Galaxy Aristocrat wait for him, he could not afford to offend Hong Dali. Since Hong Dali was not willing to tell him anything, there was nothing he could do. He decided to go with the flow. "In that case, Big Bro Dali, please continue with what you were doing. I"ll just follow and learn from you. Would that be okay?" The way he looked at Hong Dali was different from before—there wasn"t a mountain which was the tallest; however strong one was, there would be someone stronger. This Hong Dali could bring a Galaxy Aristocrat out in plain clothes to wait for him, it was no wonder he dared to squander in this manner. He was quite capable!
He looked at Hong Dali with enthusiasm. If Hong Dali could teach him a trick or two on courting girls, that would be great!
He decisively cozied up to him without saying anything more!
On the other end, Mu Huaqing had his own thoughts.
Their relations.h.i.+p must be quite good for Hong Dali to bring Miss Qianxue out in plain clothes. Although Hong Dali was not a Galaxy Aristocrat, he should not dare to become Miss Qianxue"s lover. It seemed they should be very good friends. He could not afford to offend someone like that!
Then, he thought of his string-pulling. It seemed this Hong Dali really had a strong backing!
Both of them were gold-level Honorary Aristocrats and were considered compet.i.tors. But now it seemed Mu Huaqing had made a decision—he would not have any conflict with this Honorary Aristocrat no matter what. Otherwise, he was sure to die an ignominious death.
"Alright, let"s set off." Hong Dali smiled. "Let"s take a look upstairs! It"s been quite a while since I"ve seen animals!"
Who would have thought, as they prepared to set off, a voice sounded—
"Why are there so many people here? What"s the situation?"
