Chapter 407 - Uncle-in-law?
Chapter 407: Uncle-in-law?
“It’s me!”
Lin Shiru’s cold voice came from the phone.
“Auntie?”
Lin Shoucheng was struck dumb. He hurried to sat up straight. “Auntie, where are you? I tried to contact you, but you were not at home.”
“I am with Ye Xuan. We are on our way back to Jiangzhou University.”
Lin Shiru said, “Well, there is something I need your help with.”
“What is it? Just tell me, auntie.”
Lin Shiru replied right away.
“I am getting married to Ye Xuan. We are getting married tomorrow. Could you make some decorations on the campus of Jiangzhou University? And Ye Xuan and I are going to take our pre-wedding photos on the campus. We are going to do it today. Please help me contact some people…”
Patter!
Before Lin Shiru could finish, she heard Lin Shoucheng’s cell phone fall to the ground.
“Auntie… Auntie, is that a joke?”
Lin Shoucheng asked on the phone with an incredible tone when he had finally picked the cell phone up.
Pah!
However, leaning against Ye Xuan with a flush on her face on the back of the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle, Lin Shiru hung up.
Then she gave Ye Xuan a stare.
“Well…”
At Jiangzhou University.
Seeing Lin Shiru hang up on him, Lin Shoucheng went into silence. Then all of a sudden, he broke into curses.
“Shoot!”
“I knew there was something sneaky there. I was wondering why you visited my aunt’s house so often!”
Lin Shoucheng closed his fist tightly.
Not until then did he realize Ye Xuan, the hero of Jiangzhou University in his eyes, who was devoting his heart and soul to the cause of Jiangzhou University and the Xia, had been coveting his aunt all the time.
Moreover.
The thing was Ye Xuan had succeeded.
He was not feeling very well.
He did want to be related to Ye Xuan, but not in this way.
He wanted to be Ye Xuan’s father-in-law.
But at the moment…
He would be Ye Xuan’s nephew instead?
What kind of family was that?
He was feeling very frustrated.
Nevertheless.
Lin Shiru had called him. What else could he do?
He had to accept Ye Xuan as his uncle-in-law. He did not see any other solution.
“I…”
But he was really reluctant to do that, and he could not figure out how Ye Xuan had captured his aunt’s heart.
He took his cell phone. After thinking for a while, he made a call.
“Dad?”
Lin Zhibai from Jiangzhou University Affiliated High answered the call very soon. He wondered why Lin Shoucheng was calling him then.
“Zhibai, did you say you were going to the Ancient God Planet to take trials with your school tomorrow?”
Lin Shoucheng asked as soon as he heard Lin Zhibai’s voice.
“Yep.”
“Well, don’t go. Your great-aunt is getting married tomorrow.”
“Great-aunt is getting married tomorrow?”
On the other end of the call, Lin Zhibai put on a weird look. “Seriously, Dad? Who is so great as to be great-aunt’s husband?”
“Ye Xuan!”
“Ye… Ye Xuan? What the hell!”
Lin Zhibai was totally struck dumb. “Dad, is that a joke? How could it be Ye Xuan…”
“Well, now that you know it, ask for leaves to your school and come back immediately. We need to make some preparations today. They are getting married tomorrow.”
Lin Shiru was rendered helpless.
He said nothing more and then hung up.
He gave the whole thing a thought. Then he left his office for Ye Xuan’s house.
He would need to talk with Ye Xuan’s parents about this.
He was complete in a daze at the moment.
Although he ranked as Lin Shiru’s nephew in the family.
He was actually older than she was.
Besides, Lin Shiru did not have other relatives, so he was the only one that could take the responsibility.
“Ah, the dead body. An Gucheng’s body can’t be hung at the gate any longer. Shoot. What the hell is this? It’s okay for you to get married, but why are you making the whole thing so hasty?”
Lin Shoucheng thought of something as soon as he walked out of the office building. He made a call in a hurry and told someone to remove An Gucheng’s corpse from the gate of Jiangzhou University.
“What is going on?”
Later, when Lin Shoucheng had arrived at Ye Xuan’s home and was discussing what to do next with Ye Xuan’s parents, they were also dumbfounded and had no idea from where to start.
The students of Jiangzhou University that were watching An Gucheng’s body at the university gate saw a supervisor of the university fly over and wave his hand to take the body away.
Everyone was astonished to see that.
They wondered why An Gucheng’s body had been taken away. It had not been hung there for a long time yet.
This was the dead body of a Legend-level Beast Tamer from a hostile force. Shouldn’t it have been hung there for more time?
Xia Houji killed An Gulun from the Sacred Fire Clan three days ago, and his head was still being hung in Zhongzhou.
“Is there anything wrong? Is that a false corpse?”
“False? It can’t be! Didn’t you hear the dean say it was Ye Xuan who had killed An Gucheng? Do you think Ye Xuan would tell a lie?
“So, what is going on now? The body was being hung here perfectly. Why was it taken away?”
“Who knows? Even those teachers have no idea. Let’s wait for the notice. The faculty will surely publish a notice to explain that.”
“I even called my friend. He said he had never seen a Legend-level Beast Tamer’s body before. He is on his way here so that he can take a close look. Now…”
It drew many people’s attention that Jiangzhou University had suddenly taken away An Gucheng’s body hanging at its gate.
No one knew what had happened.
No one knew for what reason they had done that.
Even the teachers of Jiangzhou University who had come to see the body were confused.
On the Internet.
“Shoot! Shoot! Ye Xuan is awesome!”
“That was a Legend-level Beast Tamer. He was out for three days and killed a Legend-level Beast Tamer so quickly. He is still on the Master level, isn’t he?”
“I doubt it. How could a Master-level Beast Tamer have killed a Legend-level one? He is cultivating so fast. I even think he might have achieved the Challenger level.”
“Nonsense. Do you think it’s so easy to achieve the Challenger level from the Master level? Ye Xuan broke through to the Master level only a few days ago. I’m sure he hasn’t reached the Challenger level yet.”
Many people were discussing. And many of them were discussing Ye Xuan’s cultivation level.
But then someone posed an interesting question.
“Sacred Son Ye Xuan killed An Gucheng and hung the body in the public with such great fanfare. Do you think he might compete for the leader’s position of the Great Xia Alliance?”
“Well… I think it’s quite likely. Sir Xia Houji killed An Gulun three days ago. Then Ye Xuan travelled to the Ancient God Planet immediately and brought An Gucheng’s body back. I think he is being very serious about the election.”
“Yeah, I have the same feeling!”
After discussing Ye Xuan’s cultivation level, many people started to talk about the influence of this incident. They guessed Ye Xuan might want to compete for the leader’s position of the Great Xia Alliance.
Because he had been making his intention very obvious.
It was impossible not to associate these two things together.
“An Gucheng’s body was taken away from Jiangzhou University’s gate by their staff. Have you heard about that?”
Soon, another news was released on the Internet.
“An Gucheng’s body was taken down, seriously?”
“It’s true. There is even a video about it. Are any of you informed enough to know what this is about?”
“Who knows? I have friends from Jiangzhou University. They are dumbfounded, too. They don’t know what happened, either. Just wait a little bit. Wait for the official explanation from Jiangzhou University.”
It was a noticeable movement that Jiangzhou University had suddenly removed An Gucheng’s body from its gate.
No one knew what was going on.
If it were someone else’s body, no one would have cared a fig.
But it was An Gucheng’s body.
That made everything different.
An Gucheng was a Legend-level Beast Tamer from the Sacred Fire Race. He was the best of the best in the Galaxy.
Everyone wondered why Jiangzhou University had done that.
“Ye Xuan…”
In Zhongzhou.
Xia Houji murmured while browsing the news on the Internet sitting in his office.
Behind him, his third wife Ling Miaotong was massaging his temples.
“Looks Ye Xuan will compete for the leader’s position of the Great Xia Alliance.”
Xia Houji was leaning against the back of his chair.
A golden dragon’s shadow seemed to flash around him in a subtle way.
He ran his fingers over the edge of the golden dragon’s shadow with a worried look.
He had been sure he would get the leader’s position of the Great Xia Alliance.
If he could become the leader of the Great Xia Alliance, this beast of his would absolutely help him enhance his strength to a great extent in a very short time.
It might not take him long to achieve the Monarch level.
However, Ye Xuan joined the competition out of blue.
And his talent was so great.
He had made such big progress in such a short time.
Even Xia Houji was shocked by his improvement.
He was really not willing to compete against Ye Xuan.
