Bihan City.
After Ye Xuan and Qin Guan entered the city, they surveyed their surroundings, both somewhat shocked!
Prosperous!
The city’s vibrancy exceeded their expectations. Though the buildings lacked the technological flair of Qin Guan’s capital, they were grand and imposing, exuding a strong sense of history. Moreover, the city was bustling with people, the streets teeming with activity!
Ye Xuan noticed that many in the city were ordinary folk, without any trace of cultivation aura.
This was normal. Though every universe revered the strong, not everyone had the chance to practice martial arts, especially those born into poor families with little talent. Without extraordinary fortune, such people rarely touched the path of martial arts.
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Little Xuan, do you know why Qingqiu stayed in the Guanxuan Universe to establish the academy for you?”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why ask this all of a sudden?”
Qin Guan smiled and asked again, “Do you know why she did it?”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “For me!”
Qin Guan shot him a look, “Of course it’s for you! What I mean is, what’s her real purpose?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Qin Guan smiled, “The Sword Way of the Mortal Realm!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “What do you mean?”
Qin Guan gave a slight smile, “The Sword Way of the Mortal Realm can’t be achieved overnight; it needs constant accumulation. She’s laying the foundation for you now. One day, you’ll find your Sword Way unmatched!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Qingqiu hopes I’ll surpass the Three Swords?”
Qin Guan nodded.
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile.
Qin Guan looked at him, “Don’t you have confidence?”
Ye Xuan countered, “Have you seen how terrifying Qing’er is?”
Qin Guan blinked, “So what? If those three can be invincible, why can’t you? Don’t forget, you’re the Chosen One, blessed with the luck of destiny!”
Ye Xuan shrugged, somewhat helplessly, “I’m the Chosen One, but why do I feel like the Master of the Great Dao Pen wants to kill me?”
Master of the Great Dao Pen: “…”
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then said seriously, “I think so too!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, feeling quite helpless!
He always felt the Master of the Great Dao Pen and Wubian Lord were in cahoots!
A pair of scheming scoundrels!
Qin Guan said, “Forget about them! For now, just focus on steady growth, improving yourself as much as possible. As for the Sword Way of the Mortal Realm, you don’t need to worry too much. Your sister’s got that covered. Your job is to grow steadily, establish the academy, and elevate yourself.”
She patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder, smiling, “Though your sister and the others are incredibly strong, you need to have confidence. After all, besides Qingqiu, you’ve got me! With swordsmanship as your core and the way of technology as support, you’ll be invincible!”
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan, saying earnestly, “My invincibility equals your invincibility!”
Qin Guan blinked, then burst into laughter!
He got it!
Ye Xuan laughed heartily too.
“Young lady, your laugh is truly beautiful!”
At that moment, a voice came from the side.
Ye Xuan and Qin Guan stopped, turning to look. Not far away, a man in white was approaching slowly.
The man wore spotless white robes, his long hair draped behind him with two strands framing his forehead. He held an exquisite jade fan, looking remarkably refined!
Ye Xuan sized up the man and said, “This lady is with me. Get lost, quick! I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to kill anyone!”
Qin Guan glanced at Ye Xuan, her eyes twinkling.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the man froze, then laughed in anger, “How interesting! With you? Look at yourself—do you even deserve this lady?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Of course. Who in this world could deserve Miss Qin but me?”
Qin Guan: “…”
The man in white looked at Ye Xuan, “With such thick skin, does your father know?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “He’s probably even thicker-skinned!”
The man in white chuckled, “Young man, a word of advice: this lady is a peerless beauty, not someone you can possess! Don’t ruin her and harm yourself!”
Ye Xuan turned to Qin Guan, who grinned, “He’s trying to flirt with me!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Do you like him?”
Qin Guan shook her head.
Ye Xuan asked, “What kind do you like?”
Qin Guan said earnestly, “A world-class hero!”
Ye Xuan paused, then said, “Isn’t that me?”
“Huh?”
Qin Guan looked at Ye Xuan, utterly stunned.
Ye Xuan turned to the man in white, waving his hand, “Off you go! She likes my type!”
Qin Guan: “…”
The man in white glared at Ye Xuan, “Have you never been beaten?”
Ye Xuan frowned, “I’m not bragging, but if I wanted to kill you, you’d be dead a hundred times over! I’m a scholar, though. Fighting and killing isn’t my style—I usually leave that to my sister!”
Qin Guan rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, “Cheeky!”
Ye Xuan laughed, then said, “Let’s go!”
With Qin Guan, he was in a great mood and didn’t want to fight!
Qin Guan nodded, not wanting to linger either. As they turned to leave, the man in white blocked their path. He was about to speak when Ye Xuan suddenly raised his hand and slapped him.
*Smack!*
With a crisp sound, the man in white, caught off guard, was sent flying a hundred yards by Ye Xuan’s slap!
Seeing this, the crowd around them quickly backed away.
At that moment, the man in white was utterly dumbfounded!
Beaten?
He’d actually been beaten?
The man in white looked at Ye Xuan, his calm facade gone, his face twisted with rage. “You dare hit me? Do you know my father is Wang Tian?”
Wang Tian!
At those words, gasps echoed from both sides of the street!
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Do you know my father is Yang Ye?”
The man in white roared, “What the hell is that? Never heard of him!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Nearby, Qin Guan blinked, “Uncle Yang’s reputation doesn’t seem that big, huh?”
Ye Xuan nodded, saying seriously, “My dad’s really not made it!”
Green-Shirted Sword Master: “…”
In the distance, the man in white suddenly opened his palm, and a transmission talisman shot into the sky, vanishing into the horizon.
Then he pointed at Ye Xuan, shouting, “You wait! You wait! My Wang family will wipe out your entire clan!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Wipe out his entire clan!
Ye Xuan sighed, turning to Qin Guan, “Logically, these scions of great families should be highly intelligent. Why are most of the ones I meet idiots?”
Qin Guan chuckled, “They’re used to being arrogant and domineering!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. It proved that often, the more power and influence one had, the less intelligent their family seemed to be.
At that moment, a terrifying aura appeared in the distant sky. The next moment, an old man strode through the air toward them!
Ye Xuan looked at the old man, a Divine Tribulation Realm powerhouse!
Clearly, even in Bihan Star, Divine Tribulation Realm experts were rare, not as common as cabbages!
The old man appeared before Ye Xuan and Qin Guan. Seeing him, the man in white hurriedly said, “Third Uncle, these two claimed they’d wipe out our entire Wang family!”
At this, Ye Xuan and Qin Guan both frowned. This guy was quite skilled at twisting the truth!
Hearing the man in white, the old man’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Ye Xuan, “You two said you’d wipe out my Wang family?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “We never said that!”
The man in white shouted, “You dare say it but won’t admit it?”
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed.
The old man looked at Ye Xuan, “Daring to speak of wiping out my Wang family, such audacity…”
At that moment, Ye Xuan’s thumb flicked.
*Whoosh!*
The Qingxuan Sword unsheathed!
Before the old man could react, he was pinned in place by the Qingxuan Sword!
At that moment, everyone was stunned!
Instant kill?
A Divine Tribulation Realm expert, taken down just like that?
How was that possible?
The crowd was filled with disbelief.
The man in white was petrified, staring at Ye Xuan, his eyes brimming with incredulity. “You…”
Ye Xuan looked at the man in white, his expression calm. “Where’s the Wang family? Point me in the direction!”
Qin Guan: “…”
