Chapter 303 - Be in a Pickle (1/2)

“B*stard! Oh, what a b*stard!”

Zuoqiu Yang could not control his anger. He smashed the tea table next to him as well with one hand. It was obvious that for Xiao Chen and his group, most people placed their bets on Xiao Chen as the winner. You could say that 9 out of 10 people wagered that Xiao Chen would win the fight.

“Listen to my order! Contribute 3 million Spirit Stones! And use it all to place the bet on me winning!”

A disciple carefully raised his head and whimpered, “Young Master… It won’t end well if the House Master finds out about this…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zuoqiu Yang glared at him piercing eyes. That disciple trembled and then was flown out by an invisible force that smashed the room door entirely.

This frightened out of the wits of the other two disciples. “Yes, Young Master! We will get it done now!” they said hurriedly and left the room with haste. They did not dare to stay in the room any longer.

Fuming with rage, Zuoqiu Yang squeezed his hand and burnt the gambling ticket into ashes.

At this moment in Xiao Chen’s yard, Murong Xian’er and Zhiluan were playing together happily. Xiao Chen however, had his eyebrows tangled in a frown. Then, footsteps that went “Ta-ta-ta” could be heard coming from outside of the yard. It was the arrival of Yu Yifeng.

“Brother Yifeng, what’s up?” said Xiao Chen as he stood up and walked towards Yu Yifeng.

Yu Yifeng smiled and said, “Nothing much, it is just that… Martial Uncle Xiaoyao had asked me to tell you that tomorrow will be the Summit Finals. Eh… Martial Uncle said he wishes that you don’t go missing again…”

Xiao Chen forced a smile and thought, “This Zi Mo…” Then he said, “Oh right, Brother Yifeng. I wanted to look for you earlier regarding the battle between Xiaoyue and you.”

Yu Yifeng frowned slightly and said, “Xiaoyue’s cultivation is above me, but I will do my best. What do you want to talk about?”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “Xiaoyue’s Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust isn’t unbreakable…” Then he revealed the way to break Thousand Feathers Sect’s Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust to Yu Yifeng. He also revealed to him the weakness of the highest martial arts style of the sect—As Kind As Water.

Yu Yifeng was surprised after hearing that and asked, “Lil Chen, why do you know Thousand Feathers Sect’s martial arts so well?”

Xiao Chen smirked. Thousand Feathers Sect’s martial arts? That so-called Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust was the Immortal-override Steps of his master. That so-called As Kind As Water was Mystic Cyan Sect Tianxuan School’s martial art, the 3,000 Weak Water. How could he not be familiar with them?

Yu Yifeng saw that his expressions suddenly became a bit weird and even consist of a little resentment and anger. So he stopped asking for an explanation and said, “I saw that you were deep in thoughts when I came in just now. Was it because of Junior Sister Li?”

Xiao Chen looked up and sighed. He then turned to look at a flowering tree in the yard and said, “Muxue can never win Huangfu Xin’er, but I’m afraid that she…” He paused and then turned his head to Yu Yifeng and said, “I’m going to look for her now. Is she with Qingyu and the other girls?”

Yu Yifeng nodded with his eyebrows tangled in a frown.

About half an hour later, Xiao Chen came to a place that was 1.5 kilometers away from the male disciples’ hostel. It was a place of serenity with plum flowers planted everywhere. Farther up, in half a kilometer’s distance, Xiao Chen saw bouquets of withered flowers lying all over the place. The building in front that looked solemn with red walls and the green roof was the female disciples’ hostel. Males were not allowed to enter at free will.

At this moment, a crisp voice was heard from behind, “Oi! You’re the disciple from which family? Guys are not allowed near here. What are you doing here sneaking around? I warn you, I will call for people!”

Xiao Chen turned around and saw a young girl in a red dress with a long sword hanging by her waist. He had no idea how long she had been behind him for. The young girl was pretty. Her hair was neatly tied up behind her back and she wore a pair of purple crystal ear studs.

Xiao Chen bowed and said, “This Senior Sister, may I trouble you to get Li Muxue from Jade Qing Sect for me?”

The younger tittered and smiled like a flower. She said, “So you are a playboy. Such a shame that you actually looked handsome and righteous.”

Xiao Chen puzzled, he frowned and said, “What?”

The young girl shook her hand and said, “Oh stop it, recently there has been so many playboys like you who came to look for Senior Sister Li. You should leave soon. If you were seen by the sisters later, they are going to tie you up and bring you to the elders for sure.”

Xiao Chen frowned again. Could it be that during the days he was away, lots of people had looked for Muxue? He said, “Senior Sister, I do need to see her regarding a matter. Could you please help me to get her?”
