Chapter 1469: It's Xu Que!

The sudden emergence of the two men and the dog stunned everyone at the scene.

The next moment, everyone's expressions changed.

"This..."

"How is this possible?"

"How could Buttface and Duan Jiude appear here?"

"Didn't the news that's been circulating say that the two of them were together with Xu Que, trapped in Tian Sha City?"

"Wait a moment, isn't this young man Xu Que?"

Someone shouted suddenly, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Then someone else, after thinking about things for a minute, said, "Although we've only seen Xu Que's father, this guy looks very similar, especially in his eyes and his roguish personality."

"And he just asked if we were discussing him behind his back. Could this really be Xu Que?"

"And they didn't die, but actually came here."

"I guess the ancestral Celestial Kings that rushed over couldn't stop them."

All of a sudden, discussion broke out among all the disbelieving disciples.

Even the deans and the deputy deans of the Heaven Palace Academy, as well as the guardians of the Sage Sect and Ming Yixuan, were stunned at this moment.

Everyone had thought that Xu Que would never escape alive. Even if he had escaped alive, the ancestors from the Heaven Palace Academy and the Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect should have captured him.

But now, the situation at hand was completely beyond their expectations.

Xu Que hadn't died, and he certainly didn't seem to have been captured by anyone. Instead, he'd appeared honorably and confidently in the Heaven Palace Academy.

There were only two possibilities. One was that they'd escaped from the Divine Farmer Clan and the other Celestial Kings. The other was that they hadn't been intercepted by the Celestial Kings at all and that they'd shown up at the Heaven Palace Academy by chance.

Judging these two possibilities, everyone was inclined to believe in the latter.

After all, the possibility of the former was too low. How could such a young man escape from the power of so many Celestial Kings?

"That's not right, this guy's realm is...the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven?" At this time, Dean Li looked horrified and exclaimed.

"The Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, that was the same realm as his."

"But this ridiculous young man in front of him was not even 200 years old in bone age."

HISS!

Hearing Dean Li's exclamation, everyone at the scene began to investigate Xu Que's realm. After this, they all took in a sharp breath of cold air and trembled.

Even the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, Ming Yixuan, found it difficult to remain calm at this moment.

The Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, this was countless times stronger than his Golden Celestial Stage. Even if he cultivated a second-rate Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, it was impossible to make up for such a difference in realm. After all, there was a whole Taiyi Celestial Stage between them.

"Little fellow..."

At this moment, a melodious and gentle voice drifted over.

Everyone turned to look at Jiang Hongyan and became dumbfounded.

Where was the cold Jiang Hongyan of just a moment ago?

Now she seemed like an iceberg melting into gentle water. Together with the smile on her face, it was enough to collapse the whole world.

The Jiang Hongyan of before and the Jiang Hongyan of now were like two completely different people.

Everyone was astonished.

Ming Yixuan's face got so dark it was scary, as jealousy burned in his eyes. Jiang Hongyan had ignored him all this time.

Jiang Hongyan's personality had always seemed cold and indifferent and gave everyone a feeling that she was far away from them.

But now it was obvious that he could never get Jiang Hongyan's attention like this.

At this time, Jiang Hongyan was like a changed person with such a gentle smile. This was a side to her that no one had ever seen before.

This side obviously only belonged to Xu Que.

"Little girl, I'm here to pick you up."

Xu Que had already stepped in front of the crowd, ignoring all of them. His eyes only focused on Jiang Hongyan as he said this with a smile.

Little girl, little fellow?

These mutual endearments made everyone in the room momentarily blush, feeling full of jealousy. This simple public display of affection was enough to make them feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, how come all these things are here? There are so many treasures. Were they what I left at the Heaven Palace Academy last time I was here and forgot to take with me?" At this moment, Buttface stepped forward and stared at the gifts, eyes shining.

"F*rt, this is what I originally put here." Duan Jiude also rushed to catch up, fearing that if he didn't speak up, he wouldn't get a share.

Everyone at the Heaven Palace Academy grimaced. When Jiang Hongyan had originally brought Duan Jiude and Buttface to the Heaven Palace Academy to stay back in the day, everyone had already gotten to know their infinite shamelessness. At this moment, it wasn't strange to see it again.

"These are all engagement gifts," Jiang Hongyan said calmly, explaining how these things had come to be here. From the beginning to the end, her beautiful eyes kept looking at Xu Que.

"Engagement gifts?" Xu Que smiled slightly.

MHMM! Jiang Hongyan nodded. "The Sage Sect gave me these engagement gifts, and I wouldn't accept them."

"Why not accept them? In reality, it doesn't matter if you accept them or not. You can always get a divorce." Xu Que smiled in a nasty manner.

"That's no good!" Jiang Hongyan shook her head gently and said seriously.

She wasn't worried about the impact of the divorce, but she had her own principles. Accepting the engagement gifts was equivalent to agreeing to marriage. Whether she was accepting truthfully or falsely, she would always have another option, that was, rejection.

"That's right, accepting engagement gifts and then breaking the engagement is not good for our reputation." Xu Que also nodded seriously, then changed the subject. "Why don't we just snatch it away..."

Before he had finished speaking, two figures immediately flew out.

"Oh!"

"Yo!"

Buttface and Duan Jiude were extremely excited as if they had waited for Xu Que to say these words for a long time.

A person and a dog rushed toward the direction of the engagement gifts and shouted, "Don't move! This is a robbery!"

"That's right, the Exploding Heavens Faction is robbing you. Everyone, crouch down."

SWISH!

Suddenly, everyone in the audience glared at them and almost spat out blood.

"Robbery?"

"Were they kidding?"

"Just the three of them, a bunch of troublemakers, dared to rob this place?"

"Just relying on Xu Que, a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. Did they think that there was no one else in the Heaven Palace Academy?"

The faces of many people in the crowd turned ugly.

However, Jiang Hongyan still had a faint smile on her face. It seemed like she didn't think that there was anything absurd about this absurdity!

"Hongyan, take a look. See if there is anything that you like!" At this moment, Xu Que said with a smile to Jiang Hongyan.

Jiang Hongyan shook her head slightly and was about to speak.

Xu Que added, "I will find the same item and give it to you."

Jiang Hongyan paused, then smiled. "If you want to give me something, I will choose the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom."

"The Starry Sky Flaming Blossom?"

When everyone heard this, their mouths opened wide.

The most precious gift in that pile of engagement gifts was the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom.

The key was that Xu Que had also said that he would match the same item and give it to Jiang Hongyan. This implied was that he wouldn't take it from the pile of engagement gifts. Now that Jiang Hongyan had said that she wanted such a rare and precious Starry Sky Flaming Blossom, how would Xu Que find that?

"Ah? Just this?" Xu Que suddenly became disappointed and shook his head. "I thought you would choose something more precious, such as a Celestial Artifact or something."

The crowd was immediately confused.

"How could the Celestial Artifact be more precious than the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom, was he crazy?"

"But since you like it, I'll give you a little bit to play with first!"

At this time, Xu Que spoke again, and at the same time, he waved his hand, taking out a strange light from his hip.
