“You! Do you people want to make enemies of Shen Huang Academy?”
Si Kong Zun was truly dumbfounded.
He had thought killing Ling Xiao was simply like crushing an ant.
With Feng Ming Qi Shan’s support, he could do whatever he wanted.
Yet now, he suddenly realised that Ling Xiao, this lowly human, could take his dog life at any time.
“Ling Xiao, remember this! I, Si Kong Zun, will not forget this grudge!”
Facing those people below, Si Kong Zun angrily severed one of his own arms.
Humiliation!
One arm might not matter much, but in front of so many people, he had intended to harm Ling Xiao, only to end up forced by Ling Xiao to cripple his own arm.
His face was utterly lost.
Feng Yin Shan frowned slightly.
He had wanted Ling Xiao to owe him a favour, but unexpectedly, Ling Xiao did not need his help at all and could steadily suppress Si Kong Zun.
“It seems this prince has somewhat underestimated you.”
Feng Yin Shan lamented in his heart: “No, the strategy must change. This person must be won over at all costs!”
Just then, two arms suddenly fell from the sky.
They were wrapped in Shen Huang Academy’s clothes, even bearing the special emblem of the vice dean.
“Are those not the clothes of that old thing Feng Ming Wan Zhong?”
Feng Qing Yan jumped in shock.
“Vice Dean has good eyes. Feng Ming Wan Zhong thought ambushing me and leaving would be fine? I just had someone sever his two arms, so actually, Si Kong Zun, you are lucky. You only lost one arm.”
In truth, Ling Xiao had wanted Butterfly Girl to kill Feng Ming Wan Zhong.
But regrettably, that fellow was too strong. Even with his spirit sea severely damaged, he still escaped from Butterfly Girl’s grasp, leaving only two arms and the clothes wrapping them.
What!
Hearing this, everyone was shocked once more.
Feng Yin Shan’s jaw nearly dropped.
What on earth was going on with this Ling Xiao?
Did he have an incredibly powerful expert assisting him behind the scenes?
Fortunately, he had not offended this fellow, otherwise it would be highly unfavourable.
And those people below, only now did they sigh in admiration.
“So Ling Xiao asking us to sever Si Kong Zun’s arm was not using us, just not wanting us to owe a favour. He was thinking of us old folks.”
“I even misunderstood him, truly judging a gentleman with a petty mind.”
“This young man is truly good. He probably has a Yin Yang Realm powerhouse protecting him behind, otherwise he could not deal with Feng Ming Wan Zhong.”
“I am determined to befriend him!”
“Me too!”
“In this day and age, such young people are truly rare.”
These discussions made Feng Yin Shan secretly marvel: “What a formidable person, these methods are truly terrifying, so easily gaining so many people’s support. Presumably in the future, Shen Huang Academy people wanting to touch him will have to think twice.”
He suddenly thought of Ji Fu Ling and Yu Xuan Yue who had once come to Shen Huang Continent.
Ling Xiao’s performance was truly no weaker than those two, only stronger.
Smiling faintly, Feng Yin Shan felt there was no need for him to appear today, so he chose to leave.
His purpose in coming here was originally to make Ling Xiao owe him a favour.
Yet now it was clear that Ling Xiao did not need to owe anyone a favour, and had even helped him suppress those fools from the Ice Phoenix Clan.
Instead, he should thank this person.
Soon back at his private villa, Feng Yin Shan asked a white-bearded elder: “Master, you saw today’s events. What do you think?”
The white-bearded elder stroked his beard, sipping tea while smiling: “Your Highness’s ideas and actions were all fine, and you judge people well, much better than that Feng Ming Qi Shan. This time not only did you suppress Shen Huang Academy and the Ice Phoenix Clan by opportunity, but also greatly increased many martial world figures’ goodwill towards you.
It is just Ling Xiao was a bit unexpected, causing some deviation in Your Highness’s plan.”
“Master, you are truly formidable. Not even at the scene, yet you guessed all this? In Master’s view, what about this Ling Xiao?”
Feng Yin Shan said admiringly.
“Cannot see through!”
The white-bearded elder shook his head: “This person is a mystery, even Ji Fu Ling and Yu Xuan Yue cannot see through this little fellow.
Today Shen Huang Academy set up this duel, actually with clear purposes. First, to suppress Qing Xu Academy, attempting to use Blood Skull to ruin Qing Xu Academy’s reputation.
This plan failed due to Ling Xiao’s victory.
The second purpose, to make Qing Xu Academy and Your Highness the Crown Prince become enemies with the Nether Phoenix Clan where Blood Skull belongs. This point was resolved by Your Highness’s wit. You did not side with that Ling Xiao, which was right, at least in disrupting the opponent’s plan, it was right. The Nether Phoenix Clan will not blame you.
Of course, next Your Highness has a choice, whether to want the Nether Phoenix Clan’s support, or Ling Xiao. You must think carefully.
As for Shen Huang Academy’s third purpose, it is also clear, to befriend Pi Xiu Island, improve relations with Pi Xiu Island. After all, Ling Xiao killed Pi Xiu Island’s Chu Lin. If Blood Skull could kill Ling Xiao, naturally all the better.
But because Ling Xiao revealed the crystal factory matter, this plan also failed.”
“Do you think Ling Xiao did it deliberately, or unintentionally?”
Feng Yin Shan suddenly asked.
“What does Your Highness think?”
The white-bearded elder countered.
“Ling Xiao this person, deep schemer, though young, yet very mature and steady, his mind simply terrifying. In my view, it should be deliberate. From the start, he guessed Shen Huang Academy’s purposes, so basically all targeted at the opponent.”
Feng Yin Shan replied: “Offending the Nether Phoenix Clan, he did not consider much, perhaps because he simply does not care.”
“Your Highness overlooked one point.”
The white-bearded elder sighed: “Ling Xiao was actually testing Your Highness.”
“This prince also felt that.”
Feng Yin Shan sighed: “But I truly underestimated him too much. At that moment, I chose to help neither side.”
“Then can only slowly make up for it.”
The white-bearded elder said.
“Only so.”
Feng Yin Shan sighed, then a gleam flashed in his eyes: “Master, send your people to Pi Xiu Island. Last time we found the Ice Phoenix Clan colluding with Pi Xiu Island, but no evidence. This time Pi Xiu Island is probably done for. Take this chance to collect all evidence.”
“Your Highness rest assured, this old man has already sent people.”
The white-bearded elder nodded.
“Thank you Master. You go busy, I should go back to deal with those old fogeys in the clan.”
With that, Feng Yin Shan quietly left.
Just as he came mysteriously, he left in haste.
Watching Feng Yin Shan leave, the white-bearded elder frowned, secretly sighing: “Truly do not know if your joining the emperor contest is fortune or misfortune. Alas, with your talent, if focused on martial arts, you would not be inferior to that Feng Ming Qi Shan.”
