Arrogant!
Not just ordinarily arrogant!
Yet Ye Xuan wasn’t angry at all. He looked at Xian Yun and said earnestly, “I’m timid, so don’t scare me.”
Xian Yun gave a faint smile, still maintaining his refined demeanour. He sat to one side, crossed his legs, and leisurely picked up the teacup on the table, saying with a smile, “Kill him.”
Kill him!
As the words fell, Nan Shi’s expression changed abruptly, and she was about to stand up. But Ye Xuan, sitting beside her, suddenly grabbed her hand.
Nan Shi looked at Ye Xuan, who gave her a slight smile, “Calm down!”
Nan Shi glanced at Ye Xuan but said nothing.
At this moment, Xian Yun’s brows furrowed slightly, “Why aren’t you acting?”
His words weren’t directed at anyone in particular.
Still, there was no response!
Seeing this, Xian Yun’s face instantly turned cold, and he was about to lose his temper. Just then, Tu Chen slowly walked into the hall, holding two blood-drenched heads in his hands!
Seeing these two blood-soaked heads, Xian Yun’s expression changed instantly!
These were his men!
Tu Chen tossed the two blood-drenched heads in front of Xian Yun, then stared at him. As long as Ye Xuan gave the order, he would act immediately.
Xian Yun suddenly turned to Ye Xuan, his eyes narrowing. At that moment, Tianxuan, standing nearby, gave him a glance filled with a subtle warning.
Xian Yun’s expression immediately returned to normal, and he smiled, “Brother Ye, this is a misunderstanding!”
He backed down at once!
Tianxuan Island Master, standing to the side, also hurriedly laughed, “A misunderstanding! Young Master Ye, this is just a misunderstanding!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “A misunderstanding?”
With that, he looked at Xian Yun and smiled, “This Young Master Xian Yun was just about to kill me!”
Xian Yun looked at Ye Xuan, saying nothing.
Tianxuan quickly said, “Young Master Ye, this truly is just a misunderstanding. Young Master Xian Yun didn’t come here to target you…”
Ye Xuan suddenly interrupted, “Targeting Nan Shi is the same as targeting me!”
At these words, Tianxuan’s expression froze, then gradually turned cold.
Nan Shi glanced at Ye Xuan, feeling a warmth in her heart.
To the side, Xian Yun looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, “So, Young Master Ye is going to return the Guan Divine Mirror on Nan Shi’s behalf?”
Ye Xuan suddenly looked at Xian Yun, “Do you know why you’re still alive after acting so arrogantly in front of me?”
Xian Yun’s eyes narrowed, “What, is Brother Ye going to kill me? Haha…”
Beside Ye Xuan, Nan Shi looked at him and shook her head.
She also wanted to kill Xian Yun, but she couldn’t. The fault lay with her, and killing the Young Monastery Master of the Immortal Dao Monastery here would have terrible consequences! The other island masters wouldn’t side with her either!
Ye Xuan turned to Nan Shi, “Do you trust me?”
Nan Shi hesitated, then said, “I’m worried about you!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
This woman’s response was bloody brilliant.
Ye Xuan gently patted Nan Shi’s hand and said, “Leave it to me! Don’t worry about anything. If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up!”
Nan Shi stared at Ye Xuan, “What if you can’t hold it up?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, “I thought you’d be touched!”
Nan Shi rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, “You and I are friends. You going all out for a friend is only natural. What’s there to be touched about? If I were touched, wouldn’t that be an insult to our pure friendship?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
At this moment, Xian Yun suddenly said coldly, “Are you two done flirting?”
Nan Shi looked at Xian Yun, “Young Master Xian Yun, it’s not that I don’t appreciate your feelings, but I, Nan Shi, am devoted to the Dao and have no interest in romance! I know the Guan Divine Mirror is still in your hands. Can we let this matter end here?”
Xian Yun stared coldly at Nan Shi, “How am I inferior to him? In terms of status, I’m the Young Monastery Master of the Immortal Dao Monastery, with a prestigious background and limitless future prospects. In terms of strength, I’m ranked fifth on the Guan Divine List, while he? He probably can’t even make it onto the list! In terms of looks…”
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Xuan. Damn it, he suddenly realised that Ye Xuan was actually quite handsome. In terms of looks, he might not compare!
Ye Xuan laughed, “In terms of looks?”
Xian Yun sneered, “What’s the use of looks? In this world, it’s about strength and background! Let me ask you, do you have a prestigious background?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Young Monastery Master, if you’re going to talk like this, I find it rather dull!”
Xian Yun sneered, “Dull? Do you know…”
Tianxuan, standing nearby, couldn’t help but interject, “Young Master Xian Yun, this Young Master Ye is the Young Master of the Xuan Realm. His background… is also quite prestigious!”
At these words, Xian Yun’s expression froze.
The Xuan Realm!
He had heard of it, though he wasn’t particularly familiar with it.
After all, it was a bit far from here.
At this moment, Nan Shi suddenly said, “Young Master Xian Yun, I still stand by what I said. Can we let this matter rest?”
Xian Yun stared intently at Nan Shi, “If you want it to end, return the Guan Divine Mirror to me!”
Nan Shi thought for a moment, then said, “Didn’t you just ask how you’re inferior to Young Master Ye? Let me answer you now: he’s big, and he’s tough!”
At these words, everyone in the hall was utterly stunned.
Even Tu Chen, who had been silent all along, couldn’t help but glance at Nan Shi, then at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan’s mind was buzzing!
Bloody hell!
How did this suddenly take such a turn?
Xian Yun’s expression turned ferocious, “Woman, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
With that, he charged straight at Nan Shi.
At that moment, his rage had driven him beyond reason!
Seeing Xian Yun suddenly make a move, Tianxuan’s face changed drastically. This was the Immortal Treasure Pavilion! If Xian Yun attacked Ye Xuan here, it might not be a big deal. Although Ye Xuan was a VIP, he wasn’t part of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. If they killed Ye Xuan, they could come up with an excuse and let the Immortal Dao Monastery and the Xuan Realm fight it out.
But Nan Shi was different!
She was part of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
If Xian Yun attacked her here, it would be tantamount to disrespecting the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
Though there were internal conflicts within the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, if Xian Yun attacked Nan Shi here, Tianxuan would have no choice but to side with her, whether he wanted to or not.
Realising this, Tianxuan suddenly snapped out of it!
Damn it!
This woman was deliberately provoking Xian Yun!
Tianxuan wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Tu Chen suddenly vanished from his spot.
*Rip!*
Xian Yun suddenly froze in place. A stream of blood shot out from his throat, and in an instant, his head fell from his neck, blood gushing into the air.
He was dead!
Tianxuan, standing nearby, was completely petrified.
This was big!
At that moment, Nan Shi walked over to Xian Yun’s body. She opened her palm, and Xian Yun’s storage ring appeared in her hand. She glanced at it, and the next moment, an ancient mirror appeared before her.
Nan Shi looked at Tianxuan and blinked, “Island Master Tianxuan, look, the Guan Divine Mirror is in his hands!”
Tianxuan’s face darkened.
Nan Shi said earnestly, “Island Master Tianxuan, I believe you definitely didn’t know about this. You must have been deceived by him! Right?”
Tianxuan was silent for a moment, then said, “Of course!”
Nan Shi continued, “Island Master Tianxuan, you saw with your own eyes that Xian Yun attacked me here… didn’t you?”
Tianxuan looked at Nan Shi, “Yes!”
Nan Shi gave a radiant smile.
Tianxuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, “Island Master Nan Shi, what a brilliant scheme. This time, I’ve lost! However…”
With that, he glanced at Ye Xuan, “I can tell that Young Master Ye genuinely cares for you, yet you’ve done this… Haha, that’s none of my business. Farewell!”
With that, he turned and left.
Nan Shi’s smile gradually faded.
To the side, Ye Xuan looked at Xian Yun’s corpse on the ground, shaking his head with a self-mocking smile.
In truth, this was all a setup!
A setup orchestrated by Nan Shi!
And in it, Ye Xuan was just a pawn!
Nan Shi had long known that Xian Yun wouldn’t let this go, so she deliberately set up this trap! Her earlier words were clearly meant to provoke the brainless Xian Yun. Once Xian Yun made a move, she knew her people would act.
Who killed Xian Yun?
Ye Xuan’s side did!
In short, her troubles were completely resolved! Not only that, she obtained the Guan Divine Mirror, and most importantly, she faced no consequences!
Because Ye Xuan’s side killed the man!
Even if the Immortal Dao Monastery came after her, she wasn’t afraid, because the other island masters of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion would surely stand by her now.
In simple terms, this time, she not only resolved her troubles but also gained benefits.
At that moment, Nan Shi turned to Ye Xuan. Looking at him, she said softly, “Are you angry?”
Looking at Nan Shi, who appeared innocent and pure, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a bit dazed.
Nan Shi lowered her head slightly and said softly, “I’m sorry!”
Little Tower suddenly said, “Young Master, this woman is no simple character. You’d better not play her game!”
Ye Xuan looked at Nan Shi before him and smiled, “Why apologise? You helped me so much back then. Let alone using me, even if you sold me, I’d still repay this debt of gratitude!”
At these words, Nan Shi’s right hand trembled slightly.
Repay a debt of gratitude!
When Ye Xuan first came, it wasn’t about repaying a debt—he genuinely saw her as a friend.
But now, he said it was about repaying a debt!
His voice was still gentle, his smile still warm, but she knew things had changed.
At that moment, Nan Shi suddenly felt a pang of regret.
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed, “I might have some trouble coming up, so I won’t stay here. Island Master Nan Shi, until we meet again!”
With that, he led Tu Chen and walked out.
Nan Shi suddenly asked, “Are you angry?”
Ye Xuan didn’t look back as he left the hut.
After leaving the hut, Ye Xuan took his group and left the Immortal Treasure Realm.
At a certain point in the sky, Ye Xuan stopped. He looked into the distance and said softly, “I considered her a friend! When I came, I had already decided that even if it meant making an enemy of the entire Guan Universe, I would protect her…”
With that, he shook his head and smiled, “Little Tower, I suddenly realised something. Along my journey, I’ve met quite a few women. I suddenly realised that if it weren’t for my father and Qing’er behind me, do you think they’d even notice me?”
Little Tower was silent for a long time, then said, “Young Master, your question is like a rich heir in the mortal world asking a woman, ‘Are you with me for my money?’ The answer is obvious.”
With that, it hesitated, then said, “Young Master, I don’t mean to discourage you, but the reason Nan Shi chose you back then wasn’t because of you. It was because of me, Little Tower. She saw my potential and chose you for my sake…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
