Chapter 35 - Troublesome—Lu Shang

The boys listening to the conversation between Lu Shang and Lin Lan felt their head was about to burst open when they heard the last statement made by Lu Shang. He was too daring!

"Damnit! Are my eyes and ears deceiving me? Who is using an illusion on me?" A boy shouted out of his thoughts, as he slapped himself numerous times trying to bring himself out of any illusion he was pulled in but still, the scene in front of him was what he was still seeing after the slaps that made his face turn red.

Different discussions arose in the hall all because of Lu Shang's statement, soon the disturbance was becoming to be noticed by everyone in the hall.

No one believes that Lu Shang wouldn't want to interact with such a beautiful lady, what good luck of his and he was refusing to cherish this sweet moment… Which boy will refuse a chance like this?

On the platform of the Si Clan. The commotion in the hall had been noticed by the clan.

When the Si Clan discovered the source of the commotion, they were shocked to see Lin Lan standing with Lu Shang. 

"Lin Lan is already betrothed to Young Master Guo, why will she go to such extent and talk to that trash?" A young cultivator from the Si Clan spoke out with anger in his voice.

The action of Lin Lan had angered the Si Clan, it was an insult to their face. What will happen if people know that the girl betrothed to Si Guo was trying to gain the attention of another boy and that person was a crippled cultivator.

Si Wei turned his head and faced his brother. "Seems like Lin Lan is taking advantage of your gentle side. I saw this coming and I warned you not to go easy on this girl but you didn't follow my advice, now see the result" He said with a calm look on his face before closing his eyes as if it was none of his business.

Hearing his brother's words, Si Guo shrugged with disdain in his eye for Lu Shang. "Truly, you told me about this but I was too foolish not to have listened to your advice"

Si Guo furiously stood up from the chair he was sitting on. "LIN LAN, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING?" 

The thunderous voice of Si Guo ranged out in the four corners of the hall, he was infuriated.

When the voice of Si Guo drifted over, everyone turned and faced him with confusion on his face wondering why Si Guo was angry.

On the dance floor, where people were dancing with their partners to cool and slow-motion emotional music. Almost everybody in the hall was dancing, even the clan leaders of the various clans were dancing with their partners. The sudden loud voice of Si Guo made them stop. 

Lu Shang, who had already picked up a glass cup that was already filled with wine, sipped from the cup and his eyes widened when he tasted how sweet the wine was. Suddenly he heard the resounding voice of Si Guo.

He suspended his action and then looked at Si Guo, the eyes of Si Guo were already red and he might explode anytime soon.

Lin Lan furrowed her brows, as she looked at Si Guo. "What does it seem like am doing, huh?" She couldn't help but furrow her brows as she questioned back.

Lu Shang looked at Lin Lan and then smiled. 'This girl is bold… Looks like Si Guo is addicted to this girl' he thought.

The young cultivators that were thinking of approaching and seeking Lin Lan to dance with them, couldn't help but be shocked that Si Guo also knew about the girl.

"Lin Lan of the celestial lake battalion sect," Someone within the crowd said, making the others instantly know who she was.

The young cultivators that were having a naughty design on Lin Lan, all sighed in relief that they didn't carry out what they said or else their fate would have been sealed if Si Guo found out.

"No wonder. She is one of the most beautiful girls in the Gaoliang District," People whispered in shock, that they would be opportune to see her here.

"You're already betrothed to me and you're supposed to be here with me, not with anyone else" "seem like I have gone easy on you, don't blame me when I go hard on you" Burning rage could be seen in the eyes of Si Wei as he clutched in his hand in anger.

Lin Lan's expression hardened for a moment but she faced Lu Shang as though she didn't care whether Si Wei retaliated or not.

"Lin Lan, come over, or else you will regret your actions today" Si Guo added.

Lin Lan turned her face from Lu Shang and then looked at the platform where the Si Clan was residing. Her expression was filled with hesitation, whether to go or not. She knew that if she didn't, the Si Clan would be angry and might do something silly to her clan.

Lu Shang dropped the glass cup in his hand on the table and then took a step closer to Lin Lan. Within himself, he was enjoying the furious look on the face of Si Guo and he didn't mind, causing more trouble.

He stood at the side of Lin Lan, and he chuckled. "Don't you see that she is hesitating to come over? Why will you force a lady? if she doesn't agree, all you have to do is simply leave her," Lu Shang said in a piqued tone while at the same time trying to maintain the smile on his face. 

Back on earth, Lu Shang doesn't even concern himself with the matter of girls or either in causing trouble but since he reincarnated in this world, he found out that anyone wouldn't be taken seriously or noticed until he or she stir up trouble. 

Si Guo squinted his eyes, as he looked at the figure of Lu Shang with hatred that was concealed within his eyes, "I didn't ask for your opinion, SO SHUT UP THAT YOUR TRASHY MOUTH" he yelled.

The expression on Lu Shang's face didn't change a bit, "Oh, you mean the trashy mouth of mine. Then you must also have a trashy mouth for exchanging a word with someone who has a trashy mouth," 

"Y-You… " Si Guo pointed his shaking finger at Lu Shang. "I can crush with the stomp of my leg, so mind the way you talk to me"

Lu Shang's lips curved into an 'oh' before turning to face Lin Lan who was watching the two exchange words. "How about me and Lady Lan having a good dance on the dance floor?" He asked with his lip slightly pressed together but his voice was still audible to the hearing of the others.

Hearing the statement of Lu Shang, Si Guo roared in anger. "How dare you? Lin Lin, you dare?"

Everyone was watching the show with an interesting look on their face. Even the clan leaders and elders of the various didn't intervene in the matter, this was between the juniors.

The people from the celestial lake battalion sect silently watch the show.

Lin Lan looked at Si Guo and then at Lu Shang, she was considering which choice to choose.

Everybody silently waited to hear between the two who she was going to choose.

The old monster who wasn't closing his eyes, not interested in the celebration, opened his eyes as he watched the two exchange words. 'What's happening? Why is he so bold?.... Since he recovers from that unconscious state, I noticed something doesn't seem right about him,' the old monster silently said in his thought. 

"Sure, I will dance with you" The voice of Lin Lan ranged out.
