655 Conflic (1/2)
Xiao Yue was imbued with agitation as the will of sword emanated from his body. The sword in his hand was blooming with brilliant rays of light due to the sword luster.
The crowd around him was breathless. Not a single soul dared to speak or stand up for him as his rival was no other than the Heavenly Spring Saint Son. The Heavenly Spring Saint Son, whose status was honorable and cultivation level exceptional!
Even Xiao Yue was nonplussed to the reason behind the Son's decision to deal with him, let alone the crowd.
Boom!
The Heavenly Spring Saint Son pressed his palm downwards, and the air vibrated with a light buzz instantly.
Xiao Yue felt the sword in his hand quiver for a moment, almost dropping out of his grasp, and he creased his brows. He had exhibited exceptionally high aptitude since he was accepted by the elder of the Heaven's Pivot Holy Grounds as a disciple, after leaving the Light Wind Empire. His cultivation level was mounting steadily and he had become one of the top talents in the Heaven's Pivot Holy Grounds. Even the Saints there held him in high regard.
The Saints of both the Heaven's Pivot Holy Grounds and the Heavenly Spring had always been on good terms, so was the Heavenly Spring Saint Son trying to help Heaven's Pivot Saint Son get rid of Xiao Yue? If that was true, such action was too outrageous!
Xiao Yue's cold gaze was as sharp as the tip of the sword.
The Heavenly Spring Saint Son was slightly startled as he looked at the figures emerging from the kitchen.
”What a domineering and impressive presence. I run a small business, so would your royal highness mind showcasing your dominance outside my little noodle shop?” Ouyang Chenfeng had his hands at his back, as his face was astringent. Every step he took caused his energy to surge.
As a first-grade chef in the Valley of the Gluttony, Ouyang Chenfeng was highly capable and was unafraid of even the Heavenly Spring Saint Son. Even if he was a tad fearful, it was only attributed to the status of the Saint.
Once Ouyang Chenfeng's imposing presence entered the picture, the pressure on Xiao Yue was reduced and his face changed slightly.
”Oh, chef Ouyang, it has been a long time since we last met. I truly miss your Heaven Burial Noodle!” The Heavenly Spring Saint Son said as he turned his head to look coolly at Ouyang Chenfeng.
He was still a first-grade chef from the Valley of the Gluttony. Although the Valley of the Gluttony was only a subsidiary of the Hidden Dragon Royal Court, its ability was on par with the Sacred Lands. Being the holy land of all chefs in the entire Hidden Dragon Continent, the mysterious master of the Valley of Gluttony was someone all Saints were wary about. Hence, the first-grade chef of the Valley of Gluttony would be utterly respectable too.
”No, no, if the Heavenly Spring Saint Son would like to eat it, I would cook it immediately. However, the preparation for this noodle is complicated, and its cooking process is even tougher. I am just worried that the Saint would get impatient while waiting.”
Ouyang Chenfeng clasped his hands behind his back. His chef robe snuggled closely to his body under the fearsome coercion of the Heavenly Spring Saint Son.
Upon hearing Ouyang Chenfeng's words, the Heavenly Spring Saint Son heaved lightly. He only needed to raise his hand and everyone's heart pulsated. Was it true that the Heavenly Spring Saint Son would be attacking soon? Did he have the courage to do it?
That was the Valley of Gluttony… The Heavenly Spring Saint Son was to attend the banquet for the gluttony dishes. If he were to wipe out a first-grade chef of the valley, how on earth could he attend the banquet thereafter?
Everyone was baffled, but the Heavenly Spring Saint Son had no fear.
The shimmering palm swept toward Ouyang Chenfeng. The Heavenly Spring Saint Son seemed to have made up his mind. He would kill Ouyang Chenfeng who dared to stop him in his challenge.
Ouyang Chenfeng's heart shuddered. He did not imagine that the Heavenly Spring Saint Son would be so merciless in his attack. These saints and saintess were getting increasingly insolent at the Valley of Gluttony!
Did they think that the Valley of Gluttony could be lorded over so easily, only because their master had disappeared for a long while?
When the Heavenly Spring Saint Son was about to hit the target, a laugh broke out from outside the door. The stagnant air seemed to have fragmented by that laughter, and everyone felt the burden off their chest.
Who was that?
The leader of the pack was a man in a loose robe. He was not extremely handsome, but the imposing presence of him was extremely gruesome. Every part of him was vibrating with every stride.
”The Heaven's Pivot Saint Son! Why is he here?”
The man who identified the saint gave him a peculiar look. The Heavenly Spring Saint Son was plotting against the top talent from the Heaven's Pivot Holy Grounds, then the Heaven's Pivot Saint Son appeared himself. There seemed to be a weird connection.
The Heavenly Spring Saint Son looked askance at the Heaven's Pivot Saint Son.
”So it is brother Liancheng, what a coincidence!” The Heavenly Spring Saint Son showed some restraint on his presence and greeted the oncoming saint of Heaven's Pivot Holy Grounds by cupping his fist. The Heaven's Pivot Saint Son did likewise. They seemed to know each other quite well.
”Since brother Liancheng is here, I would do brother Liancheng a favor by pardoning this impertinent lad,” the Heavenly Spring Saint Son said lightly. He entered the restaurant with his entourage.
When the Heavenly Spring Saint Son walked past Xiao Yue, he tilted his lips and glanced at him with disdain. He squinted his eyes abruptly, and his gaze fixated at the little girl, Xiao Ya, who was sitting shyly there. Then, he frowned.
