Chapter 300 - Meeting a Familiar Person at the Wrong Time (2/2)

Even though Zuoqiu Yang had become incredibly unhinged and no longer took anyone seriously, he dared not disrespect his master. He cracked his knuckles and gritted his teeth, speaking in a vengeful tone, “Master, did you not hear what he just said? I want to fight him!”

Perfected Immortal Feng Lan flicked his shirt sleeves and turned to look at Xiao Chen, his gaze sweeping across the youth like two bolts of lightning. “You’re really a talent!” he said with a cold laugh. He was clear that Xiao Chen was taunting Zuoqiu Yang on purpose, and he spoke to the youth in a sarcastic tone.

At this moment, the Elders from the Immortals’ League had also arrived. One of them held Zuoqiu Yang back, saying, “Zuoqiu Yang! All competition for today has ended, and you’re not to cause any trouble!”

Another Elder looked sternly at Xiao Chen. “Xiao Chen, we’ve some questions for you!”

Members of Jade Qing Sect had also arrived at this moment. Murong Xian’er teared up upon seeing that both Zhiluan and he were fine. “Brother Xiao Chen, greedy cat, you’re back, sob…”

Xiao Chen rubbed her hair and replied gently, “Sorry, Xian’er, we’ve caused you to worry…”

Zhiluan went up to her. “Stop crying, girl. Look, I’ve brought many delicious fruits for you.”

Murong Xian’er raised her head to gaze at the huge sack on the cat’s back. She tilted her head and replied, “Humph! It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t thrown a tantrum by running out, Brother Xiao Chen would never…”

Xiao Chen grinned and clasped his hands in deference toward the Elders. “It’s a long story, and I’ll go through it in detail with you seniors later.”

The Elders could tell that his level of cultivation was greatly increased. “Fine, this is a very serious matter, and we hope that you’ll not hide anything from us,” one of them said.

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded before turning his attention back to Yu Yifeng and the others. “Brother Yifeng, I’m sorry to make you guys worry about us.”

Yu Yifeng shook his head and sighed, saying, “It’s alright. It’s good enough that you’re back.” Qingyu said, “Junior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother Yu took much blame for you.”

At this time, many spectators could not help but ask, “Xiao Chen, how did you enter the Chaos that time? What did you encounter?”

Xiao Chen looked around him and replied in a loud voice, “I’ll inform the Elders about this. Please don’t worry, everyone.” Just as his voice fell, another voice rang out from afar, “Young Hero Xiao, is that you?”

Xiao Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a white robe walking quickly toward him. He seemed to look vaguely familiar, but Xiao Chen had forgotten where he met the man.

The man walked up to him and said emotionally, “Young Hero Xiao, I never expected to see you again. I’m Yang Tianfeng, don’t you remember me?”

It was only now that Xiao Chen remembered that he had met this man at the Immortals Building auction. His son’s level of cultivation was diminishing because of a wilting Spiritual Meridian, and he had given the boy some pills. He cupped his hands respectfully, saying, “So, it’s you, Senior Yang. It’s been a long while. Sorry for not recognizing you earlier on.”

Yang Tianfeng hurriedly stopped him from bowing. “No, no. My son’s much better now. Thanks to the pills you gave him, Young Hero Xiao.”

The people around them looked at each other. The Yang family was one of the 10 great families of Violet Manor, and Yang Tianfeng was an important figure. Why was he being so courteous to a junior?

At this moment, Xiao Chen caught sight of a familiar figure walking slowly toward him. His expression froze for a moment before he relaxed again very quickly.

It was Chu Hanyan, the disciple Three Pure Sect sent to Violet Manor earlier on. She returned to the sect last year to help Mo Yu enter the Manor, and she had married into the Yang family. Coincidentally, it was the same reputable Yang clan.

A handsome man with sharp features stood beside her. It was her husband, Yang Shaochen. He had traveled to the Three Pure Sect with her earlier on and bequeathed the First Elder with a 1000-year-old Spirited Lingzhi.

Life was full of unexpected surprises. No one would have imagined that Xiao Chen, an ordinary disciple of Three Pure Sect who was mere of Qi Refining Realm and who could not even speak up in their presence before, would have become stronger in cultivation than both of them now.

However, Xiao Chen was not pleased with himself because of that. Instead, he felt a sense of danger upon seeing Chu Hanyan. He had never told anyone that he was sent into Violet Manor by the Three Pure Sect, and no one knew about his true background and identity.

He had made many enemies now, and they would surely look for trouble within the Three Pure Sect if they knew he came from the sect.
