35 Two Tumbles (2/2)
As he moved too fast, his hands uncontrollably rose up and he immediately fell down to the floor. He really couldn't hold himself up, so he had to quickly draw back and put his hands on the floor. He finally prevented his head from crashing on the ground disgracefully.
He then used his flying skills to raise his body and stand straight. His face was totally flushed, like it was about to bleed.
He had just brought shame on himself and his clan in everyone's eyes!
”Why is he acting like this... What the fxxk is wrong with him? He's from one of the bloody noble clans... It may be just an accident to fall down the first time, but to fall down again is even worse, isn't it just too stupid?”
”Hey you! He is from the Mu Clan alright?! Don't involve the others! Can you talk decently?”
”Urhh... Yes, you're right... Haha ha...”
The crowd burst into peals of laughter and it lasted a long time!
The old man - the other delegate of the Mu Clan rebuked the middle-aged man in a low voice with embarrassment written all over his face, ”What is wrong with you? How could you make such a stupid mistake in this important moment? You are really an unbecoming useless shxt! You shouldn't have come with me!”
The middle-aged man was so embarrassed that he had to bow and explain, ”It felt like I stepped on some ice...”
The old man raged, ”Bull-fxxking-shit! Ice in a hot summer?! It is in the Ling-Bao Hall! How could there possibly be ice on the floor? You could at least make up a better excuse! Moron! I should have let your mother have an abortion if I knew you would bring me such shame!”
The middle-aged man had no words to argue against the old man, so he just kept apologizing, but he was thinking, [My mother has been dead long ago... You beat her to death... How dare you mention her... Old bastard, I would kick you to death if you were not my bloody father!”
They both had suspected that someone was messing with them, but they quickly gave up on this idea, as they thought nobody would dare to do such a thing in front of all these people. Besides, they didn't feel any trace of spiritual power, so they had no reason to make that presumption. As the old man had said, it was in the Ling-Bao Hall; even the eight noble clans, who were usually pretentious, didn't dare to declare themselves to be the most powerful.
The most important thing was that even though these two fellows had seen many things in the world, they could have never thought of a wonderful martial art called the East-rising Purple Qi!
On the second floor, Ye Xiao relaxed after assaulting the Mu Clan delegates. He quickly loosened his fist when he felt a hint of coldness on his palm.
Minutes ago, he had used his gelid qi to make two pieces of ice that were thinner than cicada's wings. He had been remotely controlling the ice and had set the ice under the poor middle-aged delegate's feet. No one had noticed it!
In fact, it was a risky move.
But in the end, Ye Xiao had successfully played a trick on the Mu Clan, and most importantly, it had gone unnoticed!
People in this place might not be that powerful in the Xiao Monarch's eyes, but right now, he was just Ye Xiao. These men here were all the top-class cultivators of this world. Ye Xiao might have the chance to overwhelm one or two of them, but it wouldn't be easy!
There were some people from the sects that Ye Xiao was unable to see through. So he kept his mind completely alert.
The assault was just an inoffensive trick, but what it had resulted in was enough to satisfy Ye Xiao for now.
[The East-rising Purple Qi is truly wonderful. It must be the number 1 martial art in the world!] Ye Xiao was thinking, [If anything I cannot personally deal with happen in the future, I can totally use such skill to overcome it. No trace will be left! It is really a perfect skill for assassinations and sneaky raids...”
Ye Xiao kept looking at the red carpet on the first floor and found nothing. Only after this did he show his satisfaction.
The ice quietly vanished after it had made the man's feet slip. It left no marks of water or any other color. It was truly traceless and soundless.
Ye Xiao believed that even if it were on dry soil, the ice would leave no trace, especially in the battlefield where everyone was fighting and sweating...
A smile appeared on Ye Xiao's face.
The next moment, Ye Xiao saw Su Yeyue and some of her sisters enter the salesroom. Following her were two lads who were dressed decently and walked into the house side-by-side. They seemed personable from a distance, but they were actually Lan Langlang and Zuo Wuji.
One of them was walking like he had no spine, and the other was looking around with his weirdly crossed-eyes... They were somehow uncomely.
They were muttering to each other.
”Where is the little fxxker Ye Xiao? Doesn't he know that today is a big day for the 'three lords'? We should atleast show up together...”
”I wonder if I can get my jade ruyi... Damn it, is it really happening? These people are not all coming for my jade ruyi, are they...”
”Fxxk them all!”
”What? You dare...?”
”I don't... but I know that you dare...”
”Of course I do, but I'm afraid I'd lose...”
