Chapter 218: Chapter 210: Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place
"What are you... laughing at?"
As Sikong Nan’s smile faded, he spoke these words indifferently.
The remaining prodigies present all simultaneously directed their gazes towards Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni, their brows furrowing.
"Outrageous!"
"Young Master Sikong is speaking, just being able to listen is an infinite fortune, how dare you laugh during such a moment?"
"Yunxiao, your junior brother’s friends truly do not understand etiquette. In my view, they need to be properly taught a lesson!"
One by one, the prodigies coldly rebuked.
Yunxiao’s face turned extremely unsightly.
"It’s nothing, I just thought that some people consider themselves clever, which indeed is laughable."
Dugu Ni waved his hand and smiled.
"Oh? Are you saying I consider myself clever?"
Sikong Nan’s expression darkened, his eyes flickering dangerously.
"Guards, slap him!"
As soon as these words fell.
Boom——!
Two burly men in golden armor walked out from the golden carriage suspended in mid-air, exuding the aura of the True Self Realm, and strode towards the trio of Chen Zhixing.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire venue became extremely tense.
The crowd of prodigies all wore sneers at the corners of their mouths.
Yunxiao, seeing this, immediately reacted with a change of expression.
These two servants of Sikong Nan were Warriors of the True Self Realm. If they truly slapped down, could these three still survive?
She didn’t care about the life and death of Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni.
But Shanyang was her junior brother and someone she had personally chosen from outside and brought back to the Five Elements Thunder Sect!
He must not be slapped to death here!
Thinking of this.
Yunxiao gritted her teeth, quickly got up, and stood in front of the two True Self Realm Warriors.
"Young Master Sikong, you are magnanimous; why bother with these ant-like individuals?"
"How about leaving them to me? I’ll punish them later and ensure they won’t have an easy time."
Yunxiao forced a smile looking at Sikong Nan.
After speaking.
Yunxiao raised her eyebrows sharply and turned to scold sternly:
"Shanyang, are you still not taking your two troublesome friends down the mountain to wait for me?"
Shanyang, hearing this, hesitated and instead looked towards Chen Zhixing.
Seeing this, Yunxiao was even more furious inside.
Outrageous!
What kind of enchanting soul soup has Shanyang been fed today?
Clearly, Sikong Nan is already displeased and wants to slap you to death!
And at this moment, you still want to consult your friend first?
Could your friend save you?
Thinking of this, Yunxiao angrily pushed Shanyang down the mountain with a palm.
Then, Yunxiao coldly looked at Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni, who had calm expressions, suppressing the anger in her heart:
"Do I really need to invite you two to leave?"
"You little minx..." Dugu Ni furrowed his brow, just about to speak.
Chen Zhixing patted his shoulder, stopping his words, and smiled at Yunxiao, saying:
"I apologize, my old servant speaks frankly, causing you trouble. We’ll take our leave now."
After saying this.
Chen Zhixing pulled Dugu Ni and headed down Little Hui Peak.
"Hmph, at least you know your place."
Yunxiao snorted coldly and then smiled again at Sikong Nan, full of apology:
"I’m sorry for spoiling Young Master Sikong’s pleasure. I’ll punish myself with three cups of wine as an apology for my junior brother and those two who don’t know etiquette. In three days, our sect will open the Thunder Pool, and I invite everyone to attend."
Sikong Nan raised his cup, his thin lips took a sip, and he said indifferently:
"Forget it, today, since we’re on the grounds of the Five Elements Thunder Sect, I’ll give you face, but if these few dare to be disrespectful again, they’ll be executed without mercy, and I won’t give face to anyone!"
"Yes, yes, I guarantee it will never happen again."
Yunxiao quickly smiled and agreed.
...
...
Little Hui Peak.
Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni stepped down the mountain path step by step.
"Young Master, they’re just a group of insignificant characters, why bother holding back? Give me ten breaths, and I can ensure none present survive! I’ll even slice earthworms in half!"
Dugu Ni said with a frown.
"Although it’s possible, it’s unnecessary."
Chen Zhixing shook his head, saying lightly, "These people can be killed, but not now. Don’t forget the purpose of our trip."
Dugu Ni, hearing this, nodded his head. He naturally understood that Chen Zhixing had come to the Five Elements Thunder Sect for the Thunder Power in the Thunder Pool. If things got out of hand today, they might have to leave immediately.
"Third Young Master! Senior Ni!"
Seeing Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni descend the mountain, Shanyang quickly waved his hand.
He, who had been anxious, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a bit worried.
Worried that if Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni went on a killing spree, and if they lost control, even his senior sister might get killed, which would not be good.
Although his senior sister spoke coldly and unpleasantly to him.
But he knew.
His senior sister did it all for his own good.
"Relax, I won’t lose my composure so easily."
Chen Zhixing said with a faint smile.
"That’s good, that’s good; you really scared me!"
Shanyang patted his chest and said.
"You’re quite fortunate, your senior sister seems to give you a hard time, but in truth, she’s protecting you every step of the way."
Dugu Ni teased jokingly.
Shanyang, hearing this, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "It’s a long story. My senior sister indeed treats me well..."
Time slowly passed.
Shanyang, Dugu Ni, and the others chatted casually.
About an hour later.
Yunxiao was the first to descend from Little Hui Peak.
"Senior Sister, why did you come down first?"
Shanyang quickly stepped forward.
"If I hadn’t come down first to take you away, later when I come down with Young Master Sikong and see your two troublemaking friends, wouldn’t it create more issues?"
Yunxiao said with a sarcastic tone:
"Shanyang, where did you meet these friends? Which immortal are they? Not much ability, but quite the airs, daring to mock Young Master Sikong?"
Shanyang, hearing this, could only chuckle dryly and say:
"Senior Sister, the background of these two friends... ahem, you’d better not inquire for now, you’ll know eventually."
"Oh? Are your two friends famous in the Cultivation Realm or something? You say I’ll know eventually?"
Yunxiao sneered, ready to speak again.
"Alright, Senior Sister, say no more, let’s head back to the sect soon!" Shanyang quickly diverted the topic.
"Hmph, I’ll talk to you once we’re back at the sect!"
Yunxiao glared at Shanyang and then briskly walked towards the Five Elements Thunder Sect in the distance.
"My senior sister is like that, harsh with words but not bad at heart, please, Third Young Master and Senior Ni, don’t take it to heart."
Shanyang gave Chen Zhixing an apologetic look.
"Shanyang!"
"Coming!"
Hearing the urging ahead, Shanyang quickly caught up.
Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni exchanged a glance, shaking their heads slightly.
"Being stuck in the middle like Shanyang, it must be exhausting."
Dugu Ni smiled, touching his nose.
"Let’s go. Three days from now, when the Thunder Pool opens, once we’ve done what we came for and are about to leave, we can perhaps grant him a chance."
Chen Zhixing shook his head and then stepped forward, following along.
