"Arrogant little b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Xi Dongyan's anger was so obvious that his face turned green, and his aura in the middle stage of Martial Senior was extremely cold.
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Venerable Meng came forward with a serious look to put a stop to it, "The winner is the king and the loser is the thief. Aren't you, Marquis of Chang'an, afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will convict you?"
"Stop pressuring me with the emperor's name! As long as I can avenge Duo'er, it doesn't matter if this old Marquis's life is taken!"
For the sake of his own cultivation, he had been taking pills for a long time, which he had secretly purchased from other countries; these pills, which could not be absorbed well, had side effects: he had already lost his fertility!
Now that his son was gone, the only root of the Xi Family was as good as broken! He wanted to break Bai Ye into pieces, he wanted to give her an extremely miserable death! He wished that all the people in the Bai Residence could be buried with Duo'er!
Xi Dongyan bent his fingers into five claws and attacked Bai Ye ferociously!
Bai Ye knew she couldn't beat him and didn't plan to waste her energy fighting back.
She had achieved her goal of gaining some combat experience here in the tournament, and there
Before Bai Chaoyang, Venerable Meng or anyone else could step in to stop Xi Dongyan, a water-blue figure dropped from the sky, looking like a spirit. In the blink of an eye, he hugged Bai Ye, who stood still and did not move to dodge, to one side, escaping the offensive of Xi Dongyan.
"It was your son who attacked so ruthlessly first, wanting to put others to death. Could it be that the Marquis of Chang'an is blind?"
Xingchen raised the corner of his lips, and his ruffian eyes showed a clearly visible anger.
The Lord State Preceptor was angry!
"Paying respect to the State Preceptor!"
"Paying respect to the State Preceptor!"
Except for Bai Ye, who was being protected, and Xi Dongyan, who had gone crazy, everyone knelt down on one knee, including Venerable Meng and all the elders of the Talent Hall; the scene was very spectacular.
This showed the supremacy of alchemists in South Zhao!
"Rise." Xingchen narrowed his eyes at Xi Dongyan and said, "Are you going to kneel or not?"
His cold eyes startled Xi Dongyan, and the breath of rage he emitted gradually died down, knowing full well that he could not afford to offend this one in front of him.
And so, he knelt down reluctantly, "Paying respects to the State Preceptor!"
Instead of asking Xi Dongyan to rise, Xingchen turned to Bai Ye, "It was a great game today."
"This official! Pays respect to the State Preceptor!" Xi Dongyan clenched his fists and his voice raised an octave in anger.
"Especially the Raging Flames of Qilin, it simply left me amazed!" But was Xingchen a lord you could easily frighten? He still didn't pay him any heed.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, shook her head and said, "Shouldn't you be in the tournament? It's nice to be an official, you can do things without following the rules."
"No, I'm twenty-two years old. I'm too old for it." Xingchen pretended to be melancholic.
"Ye'er, you're being presumptuous! Why are you still not getting down on your knees and apologizing to the State Preceptor!" Bai Chaoyang threw a meaningful glance at Bai Ye in fright.
However, Bai Ye did not do what he said and merely looked coldly at the silent Xingchen who was seemingly watching a show on one side, "Do you want me to kneel? Hm?"
Bai Ye's smile made Xingchen's heart somewhat scared; he shook his head like a rattle and replied, "Ehh, no no no! How can I make you kneel!"
His eyes cunningly turned.
Then, another shocking thing happened once again.
The State Preceptor they admired, that spirit-like three-star alchemist, unexpectedly knelt down to Bai Ye!
On both knees at that!
Xingchen clasped his fist and said gently, "This disciple pays respect to master."
Master? Disciple?
Venerable Meng and Bai Chaoyang opened their eyes wide; the Xi brother and sister were stupefied, and everyone's expression seemed to be frightened!
"Third Miss Bai has a cyan internal force, and she does have the qualifications to become an alchemist. Maybe it's true!"
"The heck! Must one be this awesome?"
"Lord State Preceptor, huhuhu, my heart is broken."
Bai Ye was very speechless. Xingchen, this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, absolutely did it intentionally!
