"Let’s go and have a look. What kind of scene is the old Bai trying to create, after surviving all this ti?" Pei Shaonan said, turning to walk towards the grand entrance of the Spiritual Master Association.
By the ti Pei Shaonan and Yin Lang arrived at the front courtyard, they saw that the place was overflowing with onlookers. The al had not yet begun, so everyone was idle. Now, seeing the president of the Beast Trainer Guild causing trouble on the Spiritual Master Association’s turf on this particular day, they were curious about what could cause him to disregard the agreents between the guilds, hence the yard was packed with spectators. The crowd outside was so dense with Mushroom City residents and mbers of the Beast Trainer Guild that it was impenetrable.
"Shi Honggui, where is Dugu Qianye?" Bai Xinyan demanded, his face darkening as he watched Shi Honggui erge alone.
He had seen a guard go in to inform them and thought Shi Honggui would co out with that wretched woman, but to his surprise, Shi Honggui was alone.
"Bai Xinyan, what do you want with my precious disciple?" Shi Honggui glanced sideways at Bai Xinyan and asked.
"Your disciple killed my grandson, don’t play dumb!" Bai Xinyan said.
"Oh, you’re talking about this. She told about it. But she didn’t say she killed your grandson. She only ntioned that she encountered a lecher who tried to harass her and accidentally killed him in self-defense. Could it be that the lewd man was your grandson? Hmm, I heard your grandson was nothing but trouble, always involving himself in the abduction of virtuous won. Seems it’s true, indeed! If I had such a grandson, I would have strangled him myself rather than wait for soone else to do it!"
"You..." Bai Xianyan was so infuriated by Shi Honggui’s words that he spat blood, struggled to speak, and then was choked up again by Shi Honggui.
"I’m very good, aren’t I? I know I’m considerate, otherwise how could I have taken in such a caring disciple?" Shi Honggui remarked, watching Bai Xinyan turn red with rage. "Look at you, you’re all embarrassed. If I were you, I’d be embarrassed too."
"Don’t change the subject. I’m only asking if you’ll hand her over or not. If you do, our two guilds can continue to coexist peacefully. If not, then don’t bla for ignoring our guilds’ agreent," Bai Xinyan said, plainly stating the purpose of his visit.
"Hmph, Bai Xinyan, you chose the day of my big celebration to co here; you’ve never intended to peacefully settle this matter, have you?" Shi Honggui said.
"Picking today is just to have all of Spirit Void Continent’s forces bear witness to today’s events. If you hand over Dugu Qianye today, my Beast Trainer Guild will still deliver the gift we prepared for you. If you refuse, then it’s too bad," Bai Xinyan said.
"My son was a gentle child. How could he have harassed your disciple? The Jin Family patriarch was also killed by your Spiritual Master Association, along with my husband! All because of her, they died—surely other mbers of the Spiritual Master Association were involved. If you don’t give us an explanation, my Beast Trainer Guild won’t be easily bullied!" Bai Fenglan looked at Shi Honggui as she spoke.
The surrounding crowd was shocked when they heard Bai Fenglan’s words. They never expected Shi Honggui’s disciple to be so bold as to kill Bai Xinyan’s grandson.
"That woman has guts, to be feared by the younger generation indeed!" soone exclaid.
"I think she’s spoiled and arrogant, believing that with the backing of the Spiritual Master Association, she can do whatever she pleases!" another person asserted.
"Why doesn’t she dare to show herself? Shi Honggui, I advise you to hand her over. She’s just a young woman from the Xuanyue Continent who arrived here recently. You’ve only taken her as your disciple for a couple of months. Isn’t it not worth it to end the fellowship between our two guilds over such a woman?" Bai Xinyan said, exposing Dugu Qianye’s background.
"What? The disciple recently taken in by President Shi is actually soone from the smaller interface of the Xuanyue Continent?"
"Many daughters from nurous families wished to beco his apprentices in the past, yet he never accepted. I never imagined he’d actually take in a girl with absolutely no background!"
"Could she possess so extraordinary talent?"
"What exceptional talent could a person from a lower realm possibly have?"
"Indeed!"
Hearing about Dugu Qianye’s background, everyone present was extrely surprised, wondering what Shi Honggui saw in her.
"They say she’s a great beauty."
Pei Shaonan and Yin Lang were also shocked; they hadn’t expected their master to take in such a woman. All four of the brothers were legitimate sons from major families, chosen by their master for their remarkable talent. And now, to think that their little apprentice sister ca from a lower realm!
This piqued their curiosity even more about this apprentice sister they’d never t.
"Shi Honggui, will you hand her over or not?" Bai Xinyan asked for the last ti.
"Hand over your own big head, ghost!" Shi Honggui retorted, "Not to ntion that my precious apprentice isn’t here, even if she were, I wouldn’t give her up to you. Did you think everyone is heartless and spineless like you? I won’t hand her over, so what can you do about it? Bite ?!"
"You..." Bai Xinyan hadn’t expected Shi Honggui to play such a card, "We didn’t plan to do anything to you. Pass my command: from today onwards, no mber of the Beast Trainer Guild is allowed to ta a Spiritual Beast for the Spiritual Master Association. Anyone who disobeys will be punished according to guild rules! All those who continue to associate with the Spiritual Master Association will be blacklisted by the Beast Trainer Guild, and we will refuse to ta any Phantom Beast for them!"
Bai Xinyan’s words imdiately made the situation awkward. Everyone had co to celebrate Shi Honggui’s birthday, and now, with the Beast Trainer Guild making such a statent, they were caught between a rock and a hard place. If this really continued, wouldn’t they be unable to contract with any Spiritual Beast in the future?
"Not a bad move," Shi Honggui remarked, "I won’t make it difficult for you all either. Anyone wishing to leave now, Shi Mou will not say a word."
Pei Shaonan and Yin Lang moved behind Shi Honggui, observing the guests swaying indecisively.
"Shi Honggui, it’s been quite so ti since you last advanced in rank, right? If your old ailnt remains uncured, doesn’t that an your Spiritual Master Association is on the decline? But I’ve heard, even Lian i can’t cure your ailnt..." Bai Xinyan revealed more information at the mont when everyone was hesitant to decide, "I’ve already invited the Commandery Princesses from each region, and in one month, we’ll discuss the ownership of the Transmission Array. I’m afraid the Spiritual Master Association no longer has the credentials to manage the Transmission Array!"
Bai Xinyan’s words led many vacillating factions to leave the courtyard of the Spiritual Master Association, stepping outside. So directly joined the ranks of the Beast Trainer Guild, while others stayed on the side, not clearly joining the Beast Trainer Guild’s camp.
"Shi Honggui, I’ll ask you one last ti, Dugu Qianye, that vile woman, will you hand her over or not? If you refuse, you’ve seen for yourself, there are only a few left in your courtyard. When the ti cos, no matter how many mbers your Spiritual Master Association has, can they outnumber the entire Spirit Void Continent? I’ll give you half an hour to think about it. If you still refuse to surrender the person, then I’ll flatten your Spiritual Master Association!"
After Bai Xinyan spoke, all the mbers of the Beast Trainer Guild called forth their Contract Beasts, surrounding the Spiritual Master Association.
