Both Xiang Shaoyun and Zi Changhe looked at the newcomer. The newcomer was a young man about 20 years old. He had a square face, short hair, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. Something about him made him look like a competent person. His entire body radiated an overbearing aura, making it clear he was not at all a pushover. He was Zhuo Yi, the younger disciple of Long Hui and his pride and joy. In fact, Long Hui almost viewed him as a son and treated him much better than Qin Yu.

Zhuo Yi looked at Xiang Shaoyun with a contemptuous gaze and asked, ”You're Xiang Shaoyun?”

Xiang Shaoyun saluted Zhuo Yi before answering, ”Yes, Senior Brother Zhuo.”

He now a.s.sumed the ident.i.ty of Long Hui's follower. Although Long Hui had declared him as a distant relative, he still needed to act in accordance to his station as a follower.

”You are the one who had beaten up Wen Jinrui and w.a.n.g Jiaohua?” asked Zhuo Yi with an unfriendly tone.

Xiang Shaoyun frowned and answered, ”Yes, Senior Brother Zhuo.”

Zhuo Yi then looked Xiang Shaoyun up and down before saying with a commanding tone, ”Come with me.”

At this time, Zi Changhe signaled Xiang Shaoyun with his eyes, hinting that Xiang Shaoyun shouldn't go with Zhuo Yi.

Xiang Shaoyun met Zhuo Yi's gaze and asked, ”Do you need anything, Senior Brother Zhuo?”

Zhuo Yi berated him. ”If I tell you to come, you come. Why so many questions?”

When Long Hui brought Xiang Shaoyun back the day before, he wasn't around. However, he had heard from others that Xiang Shaoyun was his master's follower. As far as he was concerned, his master's follower was the same as his own follower. Thus, he viewed Xiang Shaoyun as an insignificant n.o.body unworthy of his attention.

But when he subsequently heard about Xiang Shaoyun defeating Wen Jinrui and w.a.n.g Jiaohua, he felt threatened by the talent showcased by a person so young. He was afraid that his master would eventually accept Xiang Shaoyun as a disciple, affecting his own status. But that wasn't the main reason he was here today. He was here because of his ident.i.ty as a member of the Lightning Alliance.

Right this moment, a loud and clear voice rang out, ”Who are you telling to follow you?”

The newcomer was Long Hui, with Liu Xinji beside him.

”Master, Elder Liu!” Zhuo Yi quickly greeted Long Hui and Liu Xinji before answering, ”Your disciple wishes to take Xiang Shaoyun out with me.”

Long Hui snorted coldly and berated, ”Hmph. Are you thinking of handing him over to your Lightning Alliance?”

Zhuo Yi could hear that something was wrong in his master's tone. With an awkward expression, he said, ”Master, he had beaten my brothers from the Lightning Alliance—”

”That's because they deserved the beating. Leave the Lightning Alliance right this moment. You are no longer allowed to mingle with them. Put your focus on cultivation instead. Try to reach the Skysoar Realm as soon as possible,” Long Hui reprimanded Zhuo Yi, causing Zhuo Yi's expression to turn unsightly.

Zhuo Yi had never been scolded like that by his master before. Inwardly, he cursed, Xiang Shaoyun, I'll remember this. The Lightning Alliance will not spare you!

He blamed everything on Xiang Shaoyun, thinking that his master would never treat him that way if it wasn't for Xiang Shaoyun.

And thus, Zhuo Yi left gloomily.

Long Hui quickly and anxiously looked at Xiang Shaoyun and asked, ”Y—Shaoyun, are you fine?”

”I'm fine, Elder Long,” replied Xiang Shaoyun.
