The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 135

Chapter 135 : The Owner of the Paradise Realm

“What are you guys doing?” Ling Xiao looked at them with interest.

This was inside the West Pavilion and normally the ones that went to the West Pavilion were disciples from the Warrior Division. So Ling Xiao appearing here was not unexpected. After asking the question, You XiaoMo guessed that he was most probably here to look up some information.

You XiaoMo glanced at the other guy, then shook his head saying, “Nothing. Ling-shixiong, which book are you looking for? Do you want me to help you find it?”

Ling Xiao looked at the both of them without saying anything. Although he just arrived, he clearly saw what was going on. So even though You XiaoMo said it was nothing, he of course didn’t believe it. His rather sharp gaze fell on that man. Just the pressure alone made him feel as if a huge mountain was pressing on his shoulders. The man’s face stiffened.

Wasn’t that Da shixiong Lin Xiao? When did he appear behind them? He actually didn’t feel anything. But that was not the most important point. How long had Da Shixiong been standing there? Did he hear everything he said to You XiaoMo?

The man surnamed Wang felt very uncertain. Although he and Lin Xiao were not under the same Shifu, Ling Xiao’s status and influence was very great in the Tian Xin Sect, especially for them, the younger generation. The impression he left on them was very deep.

“Isn’t this Wang-shidi? How come you have so much free time today to come to the library to bully newcomers?” Ling Xiao didn’t mince his words, laughing while looking at Wang YuFei who was continuously wiping his sweat. Originally, he didn’t have much impression of this Wang-shidi. But because of what happened in the library a few days ago, with the punishing of Li Jun and You XiaoMo, he thoroughly investigated Li Jun after the event, including the people around him.

Li Jun was the disciple of the short-tempered Elder Xiao. Just like You XiaoMo, he was ranked Seventh and Wang YuFei was Li Jun’s shixiong, ranked third. The both of them were close and it was said that they were best friends even before they entered the Tian Xin Sect. That was why, when Li Jun was punished, Wang YuFei always thought that it must be You XiaoMo’s fault.

This time, meeting him by chance in the library, Wang YuFei couldn’t resist giving You XiaoMo a piece of his mind. Who could have guessed that the latter would be unaffected, even leaving him unable to retort. The most unfortunate thing was he was overheard by Lin Xiao.

Wang YuFei turned around seeming rather pale. It took him a while before he explained falteringly, “Lin-shixiong, I … I wasn’t bullying Shidi. You’ve misunderstood. I was only joking with him…”

The words were extremely modest but it was only like giving medicine to a dead horse. He couldn’t admit in front of Lin Xiao that he was bullying You XiaoMo. If he told his Shifu, although his Shifu may be partial to him, Lin-shixiong’s status was not low. So in the end, he would have to dig a hole for himself to jump in.

“These type of words can be considered joking?” said Ling Xiao.

Seeing that he still wanted to make more excuses, he simply waved his hand, “Ok, ok, Da Shixiong also doesn’t want to make a big deal out of this. Apologize now to You-shidi and we will consider this matter settled.”

“Yes, Lin-shixiong.” Wang YuFei’s face turned green and white. Only then did he say to You XiaoMo unwillingly, “You-shidi, I’m sorry.”

He never expected that this time he would have to give his enemy a wife on top of losing his soldiers. Not only did he not manage to provoke You XiaoMo, he had to instead apologize to him in front of everybody. Although the people coming to the library were getting less and less, but under so many pairs of eyes, this matter was sure to get out. When that happened, the one that lost face is not just himself and Shifu would also definitely erupt. He still remembered when the matter with Li Jun got to his Shifu and the terrifying appearance of his irate Shifu.

After making a hasty apology, Wang YuFei quickly ran off, not having any face left to stick around any longer.

You XiaoMo looked at this scene unwilling to admit that he actually felt a little glad that Ling Xiao stood up for him. But it was just a little. He was more worried that Li Jun’s Shifu would target Ling Xiao from now on.

Although the disciple was wrong, which shifu was not biased? Take Kong Wen for example, he was biased to the extreme. Wasn’t that a very good example? Furthermore, considering what he knew about Elder Xiao, he felt that after this matter, the conflict between Ling Xiao and Elder Xiao would definitely get worse.

“Ling-shixiong, will it be fine like this?” You XiaoMo asked anxiously.

“How is this not fine? Or are you complaining that his apology is not sincere enough. If that’s the case, how about I bring him back and let him apologize to you a few more times?” Ling Xiao beamed as he spoke.

You XiaoMo wiped a handful of sweat, “…no need, this is good enough.”

If he really went along with what he said then the enmity between him and Li Jun and the rest wouldn’t be resolved even at the end of the year. Of course he was not refusing because he wanted to reconcile with them. It was just that they were all disciples of the Tian Xin Sect so they would most probably run into each other again. It was not as if they could always be at each other’s throats every time they met.

But You XiaoMo clearly didn’t think this way. There were many people that had something against him, one more or one less wouldn’t make any difference. Furthermore, these were small fries that were incapable of making many waves. On top of that, there was one more thing and that was there would come a day when they would leave the Tian Xin Sect. So he was actually happy to see You XiaoMo making enemies. This way, when the time came he wouldn’t be reluctant to leave the Tian Xin Sect.

Ling Xiao took a scroll from the bookshelf and then sat down at the same table as You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo glanced at the scroll he took. It was a map of the Southern part of the Long Xiang Continent. But he didn’t know that the area on the map was where the Paradise Realm would soon open.

“Ling-shixiong, why are you looking at this?”

“Tang Fan asked me, Elder Du, and Elder Xiao to lead the disciples to where the Paradise Realm will open. The terrain on the way there is rather complicated. Lin Xiao’s memory is also not very detailed. So I’m here to look it up.” Ling Xiao replied seemingly bored.

Actually, he only needed to take a glance at the scroll and that would be enough to burn the map in his memory. As long as he didn’t wish to forget it, he would never forget it.

But he didn’t expect to bump into You XiaoMo here. This was perfect since he now had an excuse to stay with him for a while, so he picked up the scroll and put on an act.

You XiaoMo looked at Ling Xiao for a while, hesitating before asking cautiously, “Ling-shixiong. Before you said that the Paradise Realm has a restriction for those of Celestial level and above. Then what about you?”

This question was one that he always wanted to ask because looking at Ling Xiao’s performance, it was not likely that he was below Celestial level. When the time came, if he couldn’t get in, wouldn’t that blow his cover?

Hearing these words, the corners of Ling Xiao’s mouth started to curve upwards. He put down the scroll and said, “Xiao Shidi, do you know why the Paradise Realm has a restriction on levels?”

You XiaoMo pondered for a bit and then shook his head firmly. But it definitely had to do with the owner of the Paradise Realm.

Ling Xiao smiled while saying, “The restriction on levels for the Paradise Realm was set up by its owner. But that is only valid for those who are lower than him. If one’s strength is higher than the owner of the Paradise Realm, then that restriction is simply invalid.”

You XiaoMo gaped. The meaning behind these words, could it be that his strength was even higher than the owner of the Paradise Realm?

In You XiaoMo’s mind, someone that was able to create the Paradise Realm, a place that was covered with treasures, the owner’s strength wouldn’t be that low. At the least it should be Imperial level and above.

From Ling Xiao’s confident tone, his strength couldn’t really be higher than the owner of the Paradise Realm right? Then higher to what extent? He couldn’t imagine it.

“Then, does Ling-shixiong know the level of the owner of the Paradise Realm?” You XiaoMo asked, looking at him with eyes filled with nosiness and thirsting for information.

“Xiao Shidi, do you know that practitioners of Imperial strength and above can create dimensions? Just like my dimension.” Ling Xiao didn’t give a real answer to his question, instead choosing to give him some other bit of knowledge.

You XiaoMo didn’t even have to think before shaking his head. He had wanted to ask about this matter earlier on. It was not that he didn’t think of looking it up from the books in the library. It was just that he didn’t have the time. Then he was forbidden for three days which made him have even less of an opportunity to look it up.

Ling Xiao already knew that he didn’t know. He then explained it to him.

Every practitioner, once they reached Imperial level, were able to open up spatial rifts. But not everyone could do it. Most practitioners were afraid of dying, such as Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan. Ling Xiao guessed that they wouldn’t do it unless they were a hundred percent certain because they each were responsible for their own sects. If they were unlucky, the outcome would affect the whole sect. Without an Imperial level practitioner at the helm, it wouldn’t be considered a first class sect.

As for the Paradise Realm, Ling Xiao suspected that it was not a genuine spatial crack. Probably someone powerful carved out an actual piece of land and set it up as an independent dimension. Also, maybe because too much time had passed, the barrier around loosened once every fifty years. That was how the Paradise Realm was discovered by others.

If the Paradise Realm was a genuine spatial crack, it wouldn’t appear every fifty years. What more at the same spot. That was because a spatial crack was the most unstable of things.

So Ling Xiao suspected that the owner of the Paradise Realm was at Emperor level. Only an Emperor level practitioner could take such a large piece of land and make it an independent dimension. Also the highest level practitioners in the Southern region of Long Xiang Continent were at Imperial level. Furthermore, if his level was even higher, he would already have the ability and certainty of opening up a spatial crack. So, it was no surprise that that person must be of Emperor level.
