Chapter 492: 0492 A group of people_1

Ellen Young’s interest in Ruffy Smith’s bedroom was fleeting.

Being alone was just too boring for her, so she decided to go downstairs to the lobby to take a look.

As she reached the garden in the middle, she saw a large group of people.

This group consisted of young men and women dressed in luxurious attire, clearly coming from prominent families, accompanying their parents along with the sons of nobility and Miss Kanya Cooper.

They were laughing and talking as they walked towards the back yard, and bumped right into Ellen Young on their way.

The moment they saw Ellen Young, they all froze in unison.

Ellen didn’t recognize them, but could guess their identities, whereas they recognized her instantly.

To be precise, there wasn’t a young person in Imperial City who didn’t know Ellen Young, a familiar figure to the nation.

Seeing Ellen at that moment, they took a second before reacting together, addressing her with a chorus, "Scholar Young."

"Miss Young, hello."

Everyone was quite surprised to see her there.

Ellen nodded and offered a faint smile, "There’s no need to be so polite, I’m here as a guest as well."

Today was Taylor Smith’s birthday, and it suddenly made sense to everyone that she was invited; it was a perfectly normal occurrence.

Some were excited, wanting to greet Ellen and establish a connection with her, considering even their parents treated her with great respect.

However, Ellen wasn’t interested. She greeted them and began to leave, and no one dared to stop her. They looked at each other for a moment before making way for her to pass.

After Ellen had left, the group of youths sighed with complicated expressions, "Was that Ellen Young?"

"So beautiful and so smart, truly extraordinary."

"My mother has scolded me so many times because of Ellen Young. Comparing people can be so disheartening."

"...Didn’t Scholar Young seem to come from the direction where Brother Ruffy lives?"

A girl spoke up curiously, "If she was here for the birthday party, shouldn’t she have stayed in the front?"

Even for Scholar Young, that was quite strange.

Everyone knew of Ellen as well as Ruffy Smith, who was known for his terrible temper and for never letting anyone into his residence—no one had even seen it.

Not even the equally elite young masters in his circle had much opportunity to do so.

Someone whispered, "I’ve heard a rumor that Scholar Young is in a relationship with Brother Ruffy."

The crowd was shocked, and some even gasped, "Really?"

The person nodded, "That’s what I heard. It’s actually been spread among Brother Ruffy’s circle; it’s just not officially public yet."

The girl who spoke earlier had surprise flash in her eyes at the news, and her face turned pale.

As expected, someone glanced at her and then said with a laugh, "Don’t spread such rumors. Scholar Young’s status is extraordinary, and even we could be accused of slander, right?"

"If you don’t believe it, never mind."

The person who shared the rumor pouted and then said, "Let’s go over there for a bit and come back later. They are discussing business in the front, and it’s so boring."

"Aren’t we not allowed to go to Brother Ruffy’s place?"

"The Smith family has other places. I know of a side hall with a particularly nice view and an aquarium with many valuable plants, all rarely seen in reality. I’ve been there last time I visited."

The girl smiled and led them there.

The crowd silently followed her lead.
