Chapter 200 She is the woman of the First Young Alliance!
What's going on here?
Xiao Jialin, the head of the Xiao family, appeared outside Dongfang Ruyi's room, looking at the two people inside with a strange expression.
"Young people these days have really weird ways of flirting..." he muttered.
Dongfang Ruyi agreed to be Xiao Chen's maid and stayed by his side every day. The Xiao family did not believe that nothing had happened between the two.
"What is it, Patriarch?" Xiao Chen asked without changing his expression.
"A group of people have arrived outside. They claim to be from the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Martial Alliance and are looking for the Three Young Masters Alliance," Xiao Jialin said.
"Headquarters?" Dongfang Ruyi frowned slightly.
"They've come to urge her to go back, haven't they..." Xiao Chen said.
When Dongfang Ruyi insisted on investigating the truth behind the massacre of those two families, she was stopped by the higher-ups at the Martial Alliance headquarters and ordered to cease her investigation and return to the capital.
She did not comply; staying in Jiang City for so many days already constituted disobedience.
Dongfang Ruyi tidied herself up a bit before going to meet the people from the Martial Alliance.
"I want to see what kind of people the Martial Alliance has sent," Xiao Chen said with a smile as he walked towards the door.
Those below the middle level probably wouldn't be able to persuade this Third Young Master to come.
Xiao Chen followed Dongfang Ruyi and soon arrived at the door.
Some members of the Martial Alliance stood at the entrance. At the front was a young man who looked somewhat effeminate. His waist was thinner than that of a slender beauty. He had tattooed eyebrows and painted eyes and held a folding fan in his hand.
Upon seeing this person, Dongfang Ruyi's delicate eyebrows furrowed.
"Greetings, Third Young Master Alliance."
When the young man saw her come out, he closed his fan and bowed to her with his hands clasped in greeting, as did the others behind him.
However, he showed no respect.
Dongfang Ruyi remained silent and acted very coldly.
"I wonder who this gentleman is..." Xiao Jialin stepped forward to exchange pleasantries.
"I am the Grand Master of Ceremonies of the Martial Alliance," the young man replied with a smile.
"Oh...so you're the attendant of the First Young Master of the Martial Alliance. It's a pleasure to meet you." Xiao Jialin also cupped his hands in greeting.
The title of "Master of Ceremonies" sounds prestigious, but in reality, it refers to the exclusive attendants of the Martial Alliance's Junior Alliance, much like personal eunuchs in ancient times.
They also wield some power because of their master's status.
The First Young Master of the Martial Alliance is the most likely candidate to become the next leader of the Martial Alliance. His personal attendants wield considerable influence within the Martial Alliance, comparable to mid-level officials.
"I have come to Jiang City to bring back the Third Young Alliance on the orders of the Martial Alliance Elder and the First Young Alliance Member," the effeminate young man continued, looking at Dongfang Ruyi.
"Third Young Master Alliance, you have disobeyed orders and failed to return to headquarters. The elders are very angry, and the First Young Master Alliance is also very displeased. We order you to return to headquarters immediately."
"It's been many days since we last met, and I, the young master, have missed you dearly..." He spoke those last words with profound meaning.
Dongfang Ruyi's face darkened upon hearing this.
The fact that she could produce such an expression shows that she dislikes that young alliance.
"What's going on? Something fishy?" Xiao Chen leaned closer to her and asked curiously.
“That man knows some of my secrets…” Dongfang Ruyi said softly.
Xiao Chen's expression was strange.
So this aloof goddess is actually under someone's control.
"The Young Master Alliance used this to coerce me into getting close to me, and outsiders misunderstood our relationship. There was a rumor within the Martial Alliance that I was the Young Master Alliance's woman and that I only rose to power with the Young Master Alliance's support."
Xiao Chen revealed an expression of "I see."
The effeminate young man's gaze darkened slightly as he saw how close Dongfang Ruyi was to him.
"I wonder who this gentleman is..." he asked Xiao Jialin.
“Oh, this is the third young master of my Xiao family,” Xiao Jialin replied.
"The young master of the Xiao family..." A hint of disdain flashed in the effeminate young man's eyes.
"Everyone knows the relationship between the Three Young Masters Alliance and my Lord's One Young Masters Alliance. I urge Young Master Xiao to be careful to avoid suspicion, otherwise you may easily get yourself into trouble." He said with a smile, his tone containing a threat.
"Cough..." Xiao Jialin couldn't help but cough.
avoid arousing suspicion?
If the Martial Alliance knew that their Third Young Master was now Xiao Chen's maid, they would be furious.
"Third Young Master Alliance, you should also keep your integrity, otherwise the First Young Master Alliance will be unhappy," the effeminate young man warned Dongfang Ruyi.
"Bullshit!" Dongfang Ruyi coldly spat out two words, which startled Xiao Chen.
He never expected that a cold and aloof goddess like Dongfang Ruyi would swear.
"My relationship with the Young Master Alliance is merely one of competition; he has no say in my affairs." Dongfang Ruyi's face turned cold.
"As for headquarters, I will return to Beijing in a few days to report to the elders. You can go back to where you came from."
The effeminate young man's face turned cold after being reprimanded.
"If the Young Master Alliance were to hold us accountable, I'm afraid neither of us could bear the consequences," he said in a sinister tone.
"Get lost." Dongfang Ruyi uttered a single word indifferently.
The other person's expression froze, and their face turned ugly.
"Dongfang Ruyi, don't push your luck!" he shouted directly.
He was just a ceremonial attendant, yet he dared to scold Dongfang Ruyi, one of the Three Young Masters, which shows how much confidence his master gave him.
At the same time, Xiao Chen also realized that Dongfang Ruyi's status as one of the Three Young Masters Alliance did not seem to be that prestigious.
"Without the Young Master Alliance, you are nothing!" The effeminate youth dropped his disguise and became arrogant.
"For the sake of some young master from the Xiao family in Jiang City, you dare to disobey the orders of the Young Master Alliance! How outrageous!"
"And your Xiao family, keep a close eye on your young master. How dare he get close to the women of the Young Master Alliance? Don't end up not even knowing how you died!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jialin's face darkened.
Xiao Chen also frowned.
A eunuch-like thing, yet so arrogant...
He glanced at Dongfang Ruyi beside him.
Dongfang Ruyi's recently calmed state of mind began to change, and her beautiful eyes showed signs of discoloration, turning slightly bloodshot.
At the height of her influence from the evil arts, her self-control had greatly diminished. This servant had affected her state of mind, causing her to harbor murderous intent, which she was now trying her best to suppress and resist.
Xiao Chen gently patted her back, instantly dispelling all the evil aura.
This action made the effeminate young man's face even uglier.
"Do you know who you're scolding? It's my maid," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"What? A maid!" The effeminate young man's expression changed drastically in an instant.
The members of the Martial Alliance also had stiff expressions.
The dignified Three Young Masters of the Martial Alliance, a goddess-level figure, became the maid of the young master of the Xiao family in Jiang City.
This is absolutely explosive news.
"How dare you speak so recklessly! Do you know what the consequences will be?" The effeminate young man's face was gloomy and he was furious.
"Come here, tie up this ignorant fool and take him back to headquarters for the Young Master to deal with personally!" he commanded authoritatively.
The Martial Alliance members behind him were equally decisive and immediately stepped forward to capture Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's expression was indifferent, but his body trembled slightly.
"boom!"
A burst of energy exploded out, and the Martial Alliance members who rushed over were all blasted away in an instant, falling to pieces.
"How dare you resist arrest! How audacious!" the effeminate young man shouted coldly.
Xiao Chen raised one hand and slapped it from a distance.
In an instant, the flesh on the left cheek of the effeminate young man became sunken.
"Snapped!"
A loud sound rang out, and a handprint appeared on the effeminate young man's face as his body was sent flying...
