Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1100: Isn’t This Just Shameless?
"Who can we blame for not having the ability to snatch the Illusion Yin Grass?"
Ye Ku glanced at his junior disciple beside him. When he said this, there was a hint of jealousy in his words, as he had always harbored a special feeling for Liu Hanyi. It wasn’t until he witnessed Yun Xiao’s prowess that he dismissed those thoughts.
However, as Ye Ku mentioned, if he had had the chance to grab the Illusion Yin Grass, he certainly wouldn’t have been generous with Yun Xiao. But this opportunity had never belonged to him from the start.
During the struggle for the Illusion Yin Grass, Ye Ku had witnessed Yun Xiao’s ruthless tactics. He believed that even if he had been the one facing Yun Xiao, his fate would have been no better than Su Jian and Gu Changsheng’s, or he might have even ended up dead at Yun Xiao’s hands.
"I’m just saying. From now on, we all have to call him ’Senior Brother Yun Xiao’!"
Si Mo accepted it with a self-deprecating smile, realizing he no longer had any chance. The two Heavenly Hospital geniuses beside him slowly nodded in agreement after his last remark.
To be honest, ever since Yun Xiao had forcefully killed Bai Wushuang in the Arena Hall at Lianyun Mountain, no one among the younger generation within Lianyun Mountain dared to claim to be Yun Xiao’s rival.
Now that Yun Xiao had caused such a huge stir in the Xuanyin Hall, the title "Senior Brother" was well-deserved. At least, the two Heavenly Hospital geniuses no longer had the courage to oppose Yun Xiao.
"Hehe, with such a senior brother, who would dare say that Lianyun Mountain is only good at Meridian Refining Technique and not at Vein Energy Combat Power anymore?"
Ye Ku showed no anger at Yun Xiao taking the "Senior Brother" title. Instead, he chuckled lightly, and his words, not concealed, were heard by many other talented individuals nearby.
"Damn it!"
Ye Ku’s laughter faintly reached Su Jian, a genius from Douling Commerce, making his fists clench tightly. Because this time, that Yun Xiao had undoubtedly become the biggest winner.
The expressions of Gu Changsheng, Long Xiwawa, and others turned dark. They were outstanding among the younger generation of the Tenglong Continent, yet they didn’t expect this trip to Xuanyin Cave to end in total defeat, having to be saved by a boy much younger than them.
People naturally harbor jealousy, especially among those who already bore grudges against Yun Xiao for various reasons. Long Xiwawa from Wuyan Palace handled it better, while Su Jian and Gu Changsheng were on the brink of grinding their teeth to dust.
Other geniuses had fewer thoughts. Yun Xiao’s performance in the seventh layer of Xuanyin Cave had won them over.
Realizing they would never catch up to Yun Xiao, they could finally face this reality with a calm mind, of course, because there was no real enmity between them.
Amidst these varied emotions, they all shared a common suspicion: that the rough-clad boy would soon take out the sole Illusion Yin Grass from his Waist Storage and become the Xuanyin Palace Master’s chosen son-in-law, soaring to new heights.
"Ah! The Illusion Yin Grass? Perhaps Master Xue heard wrong, or maybe they saw incorrectly. I haven’t gotten any Illusion Yin Grass!"
However, when everyone thought Yun Xiao would take out the Illusion Yin Grass, the boy with a rough appearance displayed an exaggerated expression, and his words left everyone in the room stunned.
After all, in the seventh layer of Xuanyin Cave, most of the talented young ones present had seen Yun Xiao put the Illusion Yin Grass into his Waist Storage with their own eyes. Why deny it now?
"Could it be..."
Upon thinking of one possibility, everyone’s gaze turned to Lady Xue, filled with disbelief. Could it be that Yun Xiao doesn’t even fancy the daughter of the Xuanyin Palace Master?
Being stared at with such strange looks, even Xue Ningxiang couldn’t maintain her composure. Her face turned red and green, and her gaze at Yun Xiao seemed to be almost spitting fire.
From the two encounters with Yun Xiao, Xue Ningxiang had developed some inexplicable feelings for him. Although not as deep as Xu Hongzhuang’s or Mo Qing’s, she had always hoped that the one to ultimately secure the Illusion Yin Grass was the boy she admired.
While Yun Xiao was trapped in the Xuanyin Cave, uncertain of life or death, Xue Ningxiang worried about his safety more than whether he could obtain the Illusion Yin Grass.
When Yun Xiao finally returned safely from the Xuanyin Cave, and Xue Ningxiang learned from the discussions among the geniuses that the Illusion Yin Grass had ended up in Yun Xiao’s hands, her thoughts began to stir again.
But to her surprise, the logical conclusion of things was blatantly denied by the rough-clothed boy. Observing the looks from bystanders, Xue Ningxiang could understand.
Why is that guy so infuriating? Could it be that the daughter of the grand Xuanyin Palace Master is not good enough for you, a stinking boy from the Hidden Dragon Continent?
At this moment, Xue Ningxiang wished she could burn Yun Xiao to ashes with the flames of anger in her eyes, yet she also wanted to find a hole to hide from everyone’s gaze. Her feelings were extremely complicated, reaching a pinnacle.
Even Xue Tianao, who was closest to Yun Xiao, was stunned by the sudden words of the latter. In fact, he originally favored the top talents of the Tenglong Continent like Su Jian, Ye Ku, or even Gu Changsheng from the Xuanyin Main Hall.
But later, after understanding his daughter’s feelings and seeing Yun Xiao’s impressive performance, where he could even injure both Gu Changsheng and Su Jian when they teamed up, his thoughts changed somewhat. He believed that having Yun Xiao as his son-in-law wouldn’t be a disgrace.
Moreover, the promise had already been made: whoever could bring out the Illusion Yin Grass from the Xuanyin Cave would be his son-in-law. Ever since he knew Yun Xiao obtained the Illusion Yin Grass and returned safely, he always thought this matter would have a perfect outcome that satisfied everyone.
But everyone said the Illusion Yin Grass fell into Yun Xiao’s hands, yet this young man refused to admit it. Apart from looking down on Xue Ningxiang, there seemed to be no other explanation.
So at this moment, Xue Tianao’s face turned gloomy after a brief pause. Perhaps more than Xue Ningxiang herself, he couldn’t bear the humiliation of his precious daughter being looked down upon?
"You didn’t get the Illusion Yin Grass? Does this mean you have no way to treat Ningxiang’s Innate Pulse Cutting sequelae?"
Xue Tianao’s anger peaked due to the last question he posed. Since this Yun Xiao boy didn’t want to be his son-in-law, naturally, he wouldn’t take out the Illusion Yin Grass, and without it, Xue Ningxiang’s Innate Pulse Cutting was probably beyond help.
At this moment, besides his anger, Xue Tianao also regretted setting this rule for choosing a spouse. He thought if not for this rule, Yun Xiao wouldn’t have so many concerns, and at least his daughter’s Innate Pulse Cutting sequelae could still be treated.
But who the hell would have thought that on this Hidden Dragon Continent, there would be a young genius who would refuse to become the esteemed son-in-law of the Xuanyin Hall Master?
Moreover, besides being a bit frail in appearance, Xue Ningxiang was also indeed quite a beauty, so how could she possibly be a humiliation to this guy?
"Heh, Master Xue, what do you mean? Even if I didn’t get the Illusion Yin Grass, surely someone else did!"
Yun Xiao wasn’t frightened by Xue Tianao’s demeanor. While speaking, he gestured for Xu Hongzhuang beside him to step forward. The latter held a small Jade Box in her right hand, from which a faint coolness seemed to emanate.
"In fact, when in the Xuanyin Cave, the Illusion Yin Grass was obtained by Lady Hongzhuang from Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. The seniors over there must have seen it wrong!"
Yun Xiao indicated Xu Hongzhuang to open the Jade Box containing the Illusion Yin Grass and then confidently pointed at the group of dumbfounded young talents, saying something that made people wish to stomp his face.
"Isn’t this too shameless?"
At this moment, whether it was Su Jian, Gu Changsheng, and others who had enmity with Yun Xiao, or the talents from the Meridian Refining Master Association and Ten Thousand Demons Mountain who had a good relationship with him, they all had this thought.
Yun Xiao’s clumsy act of deceit wasn’t concealed at all. If Xu Hongzhuang truly had nothing to do with him, that might be one thing, but just now everyone clearly saw her throwing herself into Yun Xiao’s embrace!
Moreover, in the past few days, Xu Hongzhuang had become haggard due to Yun Xiao being trapped in the Xuanyin Cave. No one could believe their relationship wasn’t deep. Some even thought they had long decided privately to spend their lives together, playing a clumsy act now.
The talents present weren’t fools. Not to mention, they personally witnessed in the seventh layer of the Xuanyin Cave, Yun Xiao stashing away the Illusion Yin Grass.
Right now, they all understood this man’s and woman’s whisper earlier, undoubtedly planning the scheme of handing over the Illusion Yin Grass.
Everyone realized that as Yun Xiao’s "woman," Xu Hongzhuang naturally couldn’t bear to see him become the Xuanyin Hall’s son-in-law. It was only natural they cooperated to put on this act.
"Illusion Yin Grass..."
However, the strong ones of the Xuanyin Hall like Xue Tianao were captivated by the small grass in the Jade Box. The small grass of light green color, with its flowing radiance, seemed to draw people’s spirits toward it.
Seeing the color of this Illusion Yin Grass, the young talents felt secretly disheartened because when they saw Yun Xiao pocket the Illusion Yin Grass in the seventh layer of the Xuanyin Cave, it was this very color!
Especially the Black and White Masters from the Impermanence Island, Chang Chun, and Chang Qiu, who suffered greatly because of the Illusion Yin Grass. Their eyes were filled with traces of hateful intentions.
"Since I promised Lady Xue, I, Yun Xiao, certainly won’t break my word; the Innate Pulse Cutting sequelae will be managed by me!"
Yun Xiao didn’t pay attention to the expressions and thoughts of the onlookers. He pointed towards the Illusion Yin Grass and finally turned his gaze to the Xuanyin Hall’s young miss, speaking words full of righteous commitment.
