Chapter 443 Dispute (1)

not extravagant celebration but rather safety and togetherness with loved ones around them.And perhaps they did not know that after this year, their subsequent Spring Festivals would no longer be as...Chapter 443 Dispute 1

"Li Xiuying is my friend and he sought justice for me. If you hand over the Yihong Courtyard now, it’s not too late," Mr. Wang said, steering the conversation back to the main issue.

“You’re too late. I’ve already sent that contract to my Young Miss via messenger hawk; if you want it, wait for her and ask her.” Xiaoyao waved his hand dismissively, having just handed over the contract to his Young Miss when one of their messenger hawks had arrived with a letter.

“Who is your Young Miss When will she be here” Li Xiuying asked.

"Brother Li, this brat is lying. There’s no such thing as a Young Miss, he just wants to buy time." Mr. Wang immediately spoke up; he didn’t believe Xiaoyao's story like Li Xiuying did.

“I’m not stalling for time, my Young Miss does exist and she’s currently at Bai Lu Academy where you can find her easily; just ask who is the most domineering, shameless, or eccentric. If any of these fit her, then it must be her.” Xiaoyao casually said; if his Young Miss heard this, she would definitely scold him, but she only felt that she wasn’t shameless and accepted the other two.

White Deer Academy There’s no way a student with such little background could have any clout. Mr. Wang believed there was indeed someone as important as Xiaoyao had described her, but he didn’t think she was powerful; White Deer Academy was open to everyone who paid the entry fee.

Those who usually entered were ordinary students and not particularly talented or powerful. Only those with exceptional talent would be given special treatment and have some privileges within their sects.

Therefore, even if White Deer Academy was one of the most prominent sects, Mr. Wang wouldn’t think much of it; he wasn’t afraid of ordinary students as he too held a position of importance himself.

The more important disciples didn’t need to be worried about either. At least they could fight for themselves, and in order to get back the Yihong Courtyard, he would take that risk.

“You’re planning on hiding your things with your Young Miss and seeking protection under White Deer Academy” Mr. Wang suddenly realized something: if the other party was a student of White Deer Academy, no one outside of it dared to move against them; he couldn’t get in touch with her.

“No need for that. My Young Miss is very powerful and people like you aren’t worth her time.” Xiaoyao said with a smile. It was true; even if there were some Imperial Warriors here, the best they could hope for would be a Saint Warrior, which was only of the same level as his Young Miss, who had Nangong Susu by her side and would definitely come together.

“Really Then call her over!” Mr. Wang said; once she arrived, he’d show them just how impressive they were.

"Sorry, but my Young Miss is still in the middle of training; as soon as she’s done with that, she’ll be here." Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

“When will her training finish” Mr. Wang asked casually.

“Once she reaches the Divine stage, it should be about finished.” Xiaoyao said after some thought.

"Pfft..."

The ladies who had been drinking choked on their drinks when they heard this; they hadn’t expected Xiaoyao to make such an outlandish claim. He could have at least claimed something more reasonable like the Imperial stage, which would be impressive enough in their opinion; a Saint Warrior was almost unimaginable and a Divine Warrior even more so.

“Kid, I’ll give you some advice: lying has limits; don’t overstep them.” Mr. Wang said with a cold smile.

“Lying No, I did send the contract to my Young Miss,” Xiaoyao shook his head and said.

"That’s not what I meant. Let me teach you something: you should say your Young Miss will finish her training once she reaches the Saint stage, not the Divine; that’s ridiculous.” Mr. Wang mocked.

“Saint That’s laughable,” Xiaoyao shook his head and said.

“Yes, reaching the Saint stage is hard enough for your Young Miss to even attempt it; she should be aiming for the Imperial stage instead.” Mr. Wang continued smiling while looking down on Xiaoyao mockingly.

Xiaoyao shook his head again and said: “I find that laughable because my Young Miss has already reached Saint, so how can there still be training to reach it That’s quite funny.”

“…”

All the women fell silent. They wanted to say ‘Master, you’re exaggerating again; your words will only provoke them instead of scare them’, but kept quiet.

"Already at Saint stage Hahaha… don’t laugh too hard! Do you know what a Saint is like It’s nothing more than a legend—there are no more than twenty or thirty of them in the entire Tianyuan Kingdom, all big shots who shake the world. Who exactly is your Young Miss" Mr. Wang mocked.

No one would believe that Xiaoyao’s Young Miss was already at Saint stage; it was simply too far-fetched.

“May I ask how old your Young Miss is” Li Xiuying asked, frowning. He felt they should be cautious: if she really was a Saint, he wouldn’t want to offend someone so important.

"She’s two years older than me; she’s around twenty-three now," Xiaoyao said after some thought. Guxing was the same age as him and seemed about two years younger than his Young Miss.

“…” The women fell silent again. A Saint at twenty-three How could that be possible Master, you’re really going overboard with this boasting; but they were most concerned: he’s twenty-one already!

"Haha, it's really funny. Twenty-three years old and a Saint-level..." Captain Li and Old Master Wang laughed. This time, no one thought that the Miss could possibly be at the Saint level.

"What’s wrong Strange My boss is even more amazing. She’s the same age as me, already at the Saint level last year." Xianyao casually said. Why don’t these people believe him He was an honest person who never lied; well, in general circumstances.

"Haha, go on and brag some more! That’s what I call amazing!" Old Master Wang laughed loudly.

"Anyway, whether you believe it or not is up to you. I’ve said all that needs to be said. If you want this Yihong Courtyard, wait for my Miss to come here," Xianyao shrugged and said helplessly.

"Boy, don’t be too arrogant. It’s no benefit to treat others as fools. Bring him down! Have him taste our army’s ten most cruel tortures later to see if he is still so arrogant." Captain Li coldly looked at Xianyao and ordered his men to take action.

"Stop!"

Peony and others stood in front of Xianyao, quite bravely. This made Xianyao feel touched. Who said that prostitutes have no feelings; he would argue with anyone who did.

The soldiers didn’t step forward because of Peony’s actions. After all, they were soldiers. They couldn’t be too straightforward in front of women, unless on the battlefield.

"Boy, do you want to hide behind these girls Is that something a man should do" Old Master Wang said disdainfully.

"Young master, leave quickly! These ruffians don’t follow reason. We will delay them for now; nothing will happen," Peony and the rest said. To ordinary people, the guardsmen were just regular thugs with official positions.

“Don't worry. You all retreat, I'll take care of this!” Xianyao smiled, appreciating their good intentions but he couldn’t let them stand in front.

"But young master…"

"Rest assured, I’m not as weak as you imagine. They are nothing to me," Xianyao said with a smile.

That was right. These people were only general level at the most. That Captain Li had the strength of a king-level warrior, but for Xianyao, he could handle even peak king levels. As for this Li captain, he was just in the middle stage of the king realm. He could certainly take care of himself.

"Young master…" Peony and the rest were still somewhat worried.

“It’s alright. I’m a martial cultivator too, my strength is higher than them, wait a moment, let me find where my sword has been put.” Xianyao gave people some confidence at first, but then his last sentence made everyone lose all faith in him; after all, he couldn’t even place his sword properly.

“Found it. This sword has never left its sheath, today is the first time,” Xianyao found his saber and drew it out. Thankfully, it was well maintained, no rust at all.

…"

No way… You've never even taken this out of its scabbard before...

"Young master, I think we should delay them for a while and let you go first!" Peony said.

"I told you to step back. I can handle it myself. Unless they find an emperor level or higher person, this is nothing to me," Xianyao held his sword and slowly walked forward.

“Keep on bragging, go ahead and do your best! You will be the one suffering soon!” Old Master Wang smiled inwardly as he watched Xianyao. He was looking forward to how this would turn out; he imagined that Xianyao would be captured by the soldiers and beaten up all over.

"I’ll tell you, although I’m not as powerful as my boss or Miss, I am also not someone easy to deal with! You’d better step back so you don’t get injured," Xianyao said to the soldiers while holding his sword. His expression seemed to say, Don't force me to move; otherwise you will be hurt.

…" Old Master Wang was speechless. This boy really was interesting. At this moment, he was still acting.

"Brothers, charge! Beat up this brat for me! Just as long as he’s alive!" Captain Li couldn’t take it anymore and thought that Xianyao was overacting way too much.

“Charge!”

“Roar!”

The soldiers charged at Xianyao, who had already passed Peony and others. Everyone could see the weapons of those soldiers falling towards him one after another, as if he would be killed in a moment by these random blades.

This feeling was felt by everyone here because none thought that Xianyao was an expert; he never showed any signs of his abilities before, and at the same time, his aura was very concealed. Back then people could still see his strength but now even gods couldn’t tell what level he was at.

This was a cultivation technique Xianyao learned in the turtle family’s secret chamber. Its fancy name was Dark Tortoise Divine Breath Great Technique, and its more ordinary name was simply Turtle Breath Method. (To be continued.)re a few who showed no interest in the competition. Instead, they were more concerned about a small servant."Where is Xiaoyao It's already the third day, could something have happened to him!" The you...
