The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 46
Chapter 46: Unlucky You XiaoMo
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man stepping out from the crowd. The man’s face was calm and collected with a chiseled outline. Even though he was rather expressionless, he still gave off an overwhelming force. A resplendent white robe with a string of green jade lay at his waist and at a glance, one would think of a noble rather than a practitioner.
You XiaoMo followed behind Ling Xiao but he didn’t dare to walk up to the front. It was obvious that the bearded man was a practitioner. The muscles on his body were extraordinary and if he were not strong, Chen GaoYang would not have been so helpless.
Without waiting for everyone to guess who Ling Xiao was, Tang YunQi and Chen GaoYang exclaimed happily ‘Da Shixiong’. At this moment, there was no longer any need for introduction. Everyone knew that this was the beautiful girl’s knight in shining armor. When they first heard them saying ‘Da Shixiong’, they had envisioned a fierce and strong skilled person. Never did it cross their mind that it would be some frivolous princely noble.
“Da Shixiong, you must take revenge for me. They tore my clothes. Really too hateful!” Seeing that her Da Shixiong had come, Tang YunQi was both surprised and elated. She quickly ran up to him complaining shamefully and furiously, her pretty face at the point of tears looking absolutely lovable and charming.
Ling Xiao glanced at her indifferently and frowned.
Seeing the situation, You XiaoMo quickly took out a set of clothes from his magic bag. Although the workmanship was nothing much, it was still better than clothes that failed to cover her body. Furthermore, reputation was the most important thing for young maidens.
Who would expect that his one act of kindness would be met with a glare from Tang YunQi. She then took out a set of light yellow clothes from her own magic bag and put them on. Looking on in a daze, You XiaoMo quietly put his clothes back. If he had known that she had her own clothes, he would have minded his own business, but this woman was really strange. Since she had brought a set of clothes from her magic bag, why didn’t she bring them out immediately? It was really incomprehensible!
“So you’re that Da Shixiong. You don’t look like much. Little boy, I advise you to be sensible and leave right now. If not, you will be the next one lying on the ground.” The bearded man looked Ling Xiao up and down. When he heard those two talking with such confidence before, he had thought that the so-called Da Shixiong would be a powerful , formidable foe. Instead , it was a pretty boy ; this immediately caused him feel extreme disdain.
“There’s no hurry. Let me ask a question before leaving.” Ling Xiao slowly started to smile, looking at the bearded man in amusement.
“Da Shixiong?” Tang YunQi’s eyes popped out in disbelief at Ling Xiao. She thought she must have misheard him. How could Da Shixiong withdraw from the field of battle?
“Looks like you know your place!” The bearded man snorted in satisfaction. He also thought that Ling Xiao was really afraid of him and was preparing to slink away in shame.
“How should I address you , sir?” Ling Xiao asked casually looking completely relaxed.
“I am Luo Shan. The cousin of the once in a hundred years rare talent of Qing Cheng Sect Luo ShuHe. If you have any sense, you will leave behind the girl at your back. I may still leave you people some viable options , ” Luo Shan said with immense pride.
Now everyone knew the reason why he dared to swagger through the streets. With the backing of Qing Cheng Sect, no wonder he was so arrogant, snatching girls by force in the streets.
Speaking of Qing Cheng Sect, its scale was about the same as the Tian Xin Sect. But its resources and history were slightly inferior to the Tian Xin Sect. That was why the Tian Xin Sect was in the number one position on Long Xiang Continent while Qing Cheng Sect could only take second place.
But during these last few years, Qing Cheng Sect’s reputation had sprung up. Announcing one happy news after another , as if they were eager to let everyone know. One of those things was related to the Luo ShuHe whom Luo Shan mentioned. He was also an outstanding talent from their Warrior Division , just like Lin Xiao. Both have had success in the martial arts field since a young age, true leaders of the younger generation.
The second piece of news was that there was a high level mage in Qing Cheng Sect , who could refine level nine magic pills. Level nine and level ten magic pills was a high barrier that most high level mages could not pass. Even for large sects like Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect. Although they had many talented high level mages, the ones that were really able to refine a level nine magic pill were still very few. Such as You XiaoMo’s Shifu, Kong Wen. He had made a name for himself for many years , but right now , he could still only barely manage to refine a level nine magic pill. The two high level mages of Heaven Peak and Flying Peak were also the same.
As for t he Qing Cheng Sect , the reason why they couldn’t compare to the Tian Xin Sect before was because they didn’t have a high level mage who could refine level nine magic pills. Now, Qing Cheng Sect had risen up a level in strength , signifying that they could now sit on the same table as equals with the Tian Xin Sect. Luo Zhan daring to stir up trouble on the outskirts of the Tian Xin Sect was most probably because of this.
But while others feared the Qing Cheng Sect, as the daughter of the Grand Master of the Tian Xin Sect , Tang YunQi was not afraid. “So what of the Qing Cheng Sect? I am the daughter of the Grand Master of the Tian Xin Sect, Tang YunQi. Let me tell you, there is no way this will end like this!”
The crowd immediately erupted in an uproar, wasn’t this just a little too dramatic? Before, a lot of people were still discussing the situation between the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect. After all, one mountain couldn’t hold two tigers. Who would have thought that the disciples from the two sects would clash in the streets of little He Ping town. Furthermore, one was the daughter of the Grand Master and the other was the cousin of Luo ShuHe, both of equally high status.
No one noticed that upon hearing these words, a ray of black light flashed across Luo Shan’s eyes.
“Luo Shan, do your words and actions represent that of the Qing Cheng Sect?” Among the clamoring voices, Ling Xiao’s indifferent voice cut across the chatter like a flash of ice in the middle of summer.
The group of people standing around immediately quieted down. Even Luo Shan looked across at him in surprise. After understanding what he said, he raised his chin arrogantly, “My position is , of course , the position of the Qing Cheng Sect.”
“I see. Great! Great!” Ling Xiao smiled slightly while saying ‘great’ twice.
Before anyone could figure out what ‘great’ refe r red to, Ling Xiao flung his sleeves towards Luo Shan. The latter suddenly let out a horrible scream and was flung back. This hit was not slight , since it blew someone as strong as an ox like Luo Shan back five meters like a rag. When he climbed back up to his feet, both his eyes had changed to pitch black empty sockets. The whites of his eyes seemed to have disappeared into their sockets as if looking directly at him would numb one’s brain.
“Heavens, isn’t that a demon? How can Luo Shan turn into a demon?” All of a sudden, panic-stricken screams rose up from the onlooking crowd, which were followed by even more sounds of violent gasps of shock. Many of their faces started to pale and one after another they began to rush backwards in fear. Some of them fell to the ground from excess haste, and were stepped on, including the unlucky You XiaoMo.
You XiaoMo was originally standing behind Ling Xiao, but Tang YunQi had shoved him away when she came over. Gentlemen don’t fight with women, so You XiaoMo move d a little further away from Ling Xiao.
Who would have thought that the crowd would suddenly panic and a few of the people escaping in fear would continuously push him farther away. In the end, someone tripped him, causing him to fall to the ground and before he was able to scramble back up, the out – of – control crowd stomped on his right leg.
“CRACK!” You XiaoMo clearly heard the sound of his bone cracking in that leg and crocodile tears almost squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.
Right at that moment, someone gripped him by the wrist and pulled him up. Then You XiaoMo felt his head fall onto a warm broad chest and a refined voice came from above his head. “Idiot! You can even fall down while standing. I really wonder how you ’ve managed to live until now!”
