Chapter 11: 7 Star Talent! System’s Warning!
Chen Xuan quickly understood what had happened.
In short, the two young men arrived and began requesting to meet Huo Ling’er, or at the very least, to pass a message.
However, this was something the middle-aged Elder could not agree to.
If he were to give in to the demands of these young men, the Yin Yang Peak would lose all face, and its reputation would be ruined.
Yet, Long Feng’s powerful background made it impossible for the Elder to act rashly and forcefully drive them away.
Chen Xuan frowned lightly upon hearing the Elder’s dilemma.
He couldn’t understand why someone had decided to stir up trouble.
Yes. In Chen Xuan’s opinion, Xiao Huo and Long Feng came here to cause trouble.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain their unreasonable behavior.
This made him wonder.
Was this conspiracy targeting him, the Yin Yang Peak, or Huo Ling’er?
More importantly, who was behind it?
Was someone testing him, or was it a confrontation between the Sect’s different Peaks?
Chen Xuan did not think that this was planned by Xiao Huo and Long Feng. He believed that they were merely pawns of a hidden mastermind.
But as his gaze lingered on the two youths for a few moments, a barely noticeable trace of shock flashed across his eyes.
Chen Xuan had developed the habit of using Insight Eye on everyone ever since he was bound to the System.
This had not led to any shocking discovery until now, except for the Sect Leader’s hidden cultivation base.
But now, Chen Xuan discovered something incredible. Not in Long Feng’s information, but rather in Xiao Huo’s.
...
[Name: Xiao Huo]
[Physique: Great Sun Holy Body (Low-Grade)]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining (Middle)]
[Technique: Fire Buddha Lotus Art (2nd Level)]
[Talent Rating: 7 Stars]
[Evaluation: They have a chance of becoming an Immortal! However, their personality is bad, and those close to them are bound to suffer misfortune. The System advises the Host against taking them in as his disciple!]
...
A Holy Body! After Huo Ling’er, Chen Xuan finally met a second person with a Holy Body.
However, he wasn’t excited for long. The System’s Evaluation echoed in his mind, dampening his mood.
This was the first time the System had given such an evaluation.
In the past, the System merely stated that people’s talent was inadequate. But now, it was targeting Xiao Huo’s character instead.
This left Chen Xuan wondering: just what kind of personality could cause the System to give such advice?
A flurry of thoughts crossed Chen Xuan’s mind, yet he remained calm on the surface.
His gaze remained unaffected as it landed on the two young men, and his powerful aura pressed down on them like a mountain.
Long Feng was instantly immobilized. Though unwilling and angry, he could only lower his head and avoid Chen Xuan’s gaze.
Yet, Xiao Huo remained defiant. Although the oppressive aura pressed on him and almost caused him to kneel, he didn’t give up.
His muscles trembled as his veins bulged from the surging blood. He raised his head with a flushed face and opened his mouth to speak.
"Your Excellency must be Huo Ling’er’s Master. Good! Very good!"
"Like Master, like disciple! Don’t you feel ashamed targeting helpless disciples like us?" he roared at the top of his lungs and amplified his voice with Spiritual Energy.
"Are there no rules in the Jade Pure Sect? Can the Elders murder the disciples in broad daylight?" he cried out about the supposed injustice.
The previous commotion had already attracted some nearby curious disciples.
Now that Xiao Huo’s voice spread further and reached the top of the mountain, some idle Elders rushed over, as if drawn by the prospect of entertainment.
A large crowd had gathered at the entrance within seconds, leaving Chen Xuan utterly speechless.
These people were too idle. Did they not have anything better to do?
It seemed that he would have to strengthen the rules of the Yin Yang Peak.
’Su Ying has failed to discipline these people. The Peak’s situation has deteriorated severely over the past few days.’ he thought.
Chen Xuan was about to order them to back off.
But just as he opened his mouth, he noticed a familiar aura and stopped mid-sentence.
A red-haired figure stepped out of the crowd and landed before him, bowing her head as her eyes shone.
"Master! I’m sorry for the commotion. It’s all my fault."
"I will deal with it on my own," she said while subconsciously averting her gaze with some shyness.
She then turned toward Xiao Huo.
Her embarrassed expression instantly vanished, replaced by an indifferent look.
"Xiao Huo, I’ve already told you back when we left Cloud Mist City! The promise of our parents has nothing to do with me!"
"I have no intention to marry you! I only desire to pursue the Great Dao and become an immortal! Please don’t bother me again in the future!" she stated coldly, and her impatience was apparent to all.
Clearly, this was far from the first time the two had argued about this.
Xiao Huo had only just recovered from his earlier outburst.
Upon seeing the "bashful" look Huo Ling’er directed at Chen Xuan and then hearing her aloof words addressed to him, he began to throw a fit once more.
"Good! Good! Good!" he shook his head.
"Huo Ling’er, I didn’t expect that you were such a loose woman! You’ve only spent a few days in this demonic Peak filled with freaks, and you’ve already changed so much."
Saying this, he paused to stare at Chen Xuan with disdain.
"Is this your so-called Master? Hmph! It’s just a handsome face with little talent!"
"Huo Ling’er, let me show you why no other man can ever be compared with me, Xiao Huo!" he boasted, and his killing intent spread.
"Insolence!" His words shocked the Elders and disciples.
The middle-aged Elder, who had witnessed everything from start to finish, could no longer hold back.
His Spiritual Energy flared, and he was about to teach this insolent youth a lesson.
However, Xiao Huo acted even faster than him.
He appeared behind Long Feng with a flicker and shoved his shoulder.
Long Feng had yet to recover from his previous outburst. But when he sensed the signal, he understood Xiao Huo’s thoughts and reacted quickly.
He took a talisman out of his space ring with visible reluctance.
Then, he poured his Spiritual Energy into it, activating it.
The talisman burned to ashes. A terrifying pressure descended as a colossal phantom emerged from the flames.
"Who dares to hurt my son?!" a roar echoed.
