Chapter 63: Junior Brother! This Senior Brother Apologizes to You!
Li Zuiyue: ???
Wang Xiu: ???
Sighing, Li Zuiyue interrupted Ji Yan, "Uncle Ji, let us discuss this matter later."
"My primary purpose in disturbing you today is to ask if your disciple, Junior Brother Ji Shenlei, has recently left the sect to train in Maple City?"
Ji Shenlei?
Ji Yan glanced at his foolish son beside him, who had already been knocked senseless by a strike but was still muttering, 'Brother Wang and I, we possess the talents of sleeping dragons and rising phoenixes; it is Father's fault for not teaching us well.'
After thinking for a moment, Ji Yan shook his head. "That brat's intelligence isn't sufficient for him to go down the mountain for training."
Clang~!!!
Three more flying swords shot out. A total of twelve swords surrounded Wang Xiu, making him look like a porcupine.
Li Zuiyue sneered, "Monster! What else do you have to say for yourself!"
Senior Brother, I am innocent!
Wearing Ji Shenlei's face, Wang Xiu felt his brain malfunctioning.
The corners of his mouth twitched. His figure and appearance shifted once again. This time, he completely reverted to his original appearance—actually a few points more handsome than Li Zuiyue.
Audacious monster!
You simply aren't taking me seriously!
On the verge of death, you still dare to transform into someone more handsome than me?
Are you trying to humiliate me, Li Zuiyue?
*Clang~
Li Zuiyue was bristling with rage. Three more Solar Term Flying Swords shot from their sheaths.
Fifteen swords flew out together, their sword qi shattering the void!
"Senior Brother."
Wang Xiu spread his hands helplessly. "If I told you that my true identity is actually Wang Xiu of the Divination Vein at Spirit Turtle Peak, would you believe me?"
Wang Xiu?
Li Zuiyue's pupils shrank slightly. He had actually heard of this person; in the Three Purities Immortal Sect, Wang Xiu was far more famous than Ji Shenlei.
However.
That fellow's cultivation was merely at the early Foundation Establishment Stage, wasn't it?
You are radiating the aura of the First Heaven of the Core Formation Stage, yet you tell me you're Wang Xiu?
Furthermore.
The Wind and Thunder Talisman Sword Art you used just now has clearly been cultivated to the Great Completion realm. How could a disciple of the Divination Vein like Wang Xiu master such a thunder technique?
Detestable!
You are insulting this Daoist's wisdom more and more!
Thinking this.
Li Zuiyue flew into a rage and roared, "Scoundrel!"
"Even if you really are Wang Xiu today, I will hack you into eight pieces! Die!"
Wang Xiu?
Who wants to kill Wang Xiu and hack him into pieces?
Presumptuous!!!
As soon as Li Zuiyue's words fell, he heard Ji Yan's thunderous voice from the other end of the communication token: "Stop!"
The Head of the Thunder Vein, who had been sitting solemnly just moments ago, suddenly stood up with a Hong sound.
His face was filled with rage: "You surnamed Li, if you dare make a move against Wang Xiu, I will skin you alive!"
Li Zuiyue: ???
Even through the communication token, Li Zuiyue could feel Ji Yan's anger at this moment.
For a time.
He couldn't help but be a bit dazed and asked, "Uncle Master, are... are you talking to me?"
In his impression.
Uncle Master Ji Yan had always been very polite to him, trying every possible way to poach him.
This sudden attitude of rage left Li Zuiyue completely bewildered.
Moreover.
Wasn't it said that the grudges between the Thunder Vein and the Divination Vein were deep?
This Uncle Master Ji Yan before him was rumored to have been beaten up on the ground more than once by that tyrant woman, Luo Binglan, in his youth.
Why would he defend this suspected monster so strongly?
"Are you close?"
"We are very close! Extremely close!"
Ji Yan took a deep breath, a complex light flickering in his eyes.
As the image from the communication token adjusted, Ji Yan saw what was happening in the Zhao Manor, and he was similarly shocked in his heart.
Good heavens.
Clearly, he had the appearance of Ji Shenlei just moments ago, but in the blink of an eye, he changed into Wang Xiu's appearance. Although separated by the communication token, Ji Yan could not probe Wang Xiu's aura.
Therefore, he could not determine how realistic his disguise was.
But let's not forget, Li Zuiyue was still on the scene. Since Li Zuiyue had specifically contacted Ji Yan to ask, it meant that even he could not see through the other party's disguise.
One must know that Li Zuiyue was at the Ninth Heaven of the Golden Core Stage and possessed the innate Sword Gaze, which countered the vast majority of transformation arts in the world.
And Wang Xiu?
The cultivation he revealed a few days ago was merely at the seventh or eighth Heaven of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although the cultivation he revealed now had reached the First Heaven of the Golden Core Stage, showing immense progress.
But compared to Li Zuiyue, the difference between the two was like cloud and mud.
That Li Zuiyue, with his cultivation at the Ninth Heaven of the Golden Core Stage, activated his Sword Gaze yet could not see through Wang Xiu's disguise. This shows just how profound the transformation art Wang Xiu cultivated is.
It also shows.
How terrifying Wang Xiu's talent and attainment in this transformation art are; I fear it is not inferior to his talent in the thunder arts!
For a time.
Ji Yan's heart grew increasingly heated, but he also grew increasingly panicked.
After all.
If Wang Xiu's talent was only manifested in thunder arts, he could just find the Sect Master to coordinate, use Wang Xiu's 'future' as an excuse, and coerce him with the greater good of the sect.
Hmm...
Begging shamelessly to let Wang Xiu take another master wouldn't be difficult.
But.
If Wang Xiu's talent and aptitude were not limited to just thunder arts, and he cultivated any spell with twice the result and half the effort...
Then if word got out, it wouldn't be the Sect Master helping him speak up.
When that time came.
Perhaps even that old bastard, the Sect Master Junior Brother, would cast aside his dignity to come and snatch his apprentice. How could he play then?
There would be no way to play!
No!
This obedient apprentice is determined to be poached by this Seat! Even if I lose this old face of mine, I must make him transfer to the Thunder Vein. At the very worst, he must major in the Thunder Vein's spells!
The task of building good relations must be hurried; if it's too late, it will be too late!
"You surnamed Li!"
Ji Yan was shrouded in purple thunder, majestic and imposing.
He said with righteousness, "Nephew Wang Xiu has a life-saving grace for my daughter Zi Dian, and there is mutual admiration. He will sooner or later be family to our Thunder Vein."
"If you dare hurt him even a little, don't blame this Seat for skinning you alive. Even your Master won't be able to save you!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +666.]
At this moment.
Where was the gentle, loving demeanor Ji Yan had just moments ago?
He directly transformed into Thunder Rampage Mode.
Kidding.
Although Li Zuiyue is also a genius, compared to the talent in thunder arts Wang Xiu displayed before, he is completely unworthy of mention, utterly unworthy!
Moreover.
Wang Xiu and Little Ninety-Nine are in love. In terms of emotional connection, he is completely incomparable to an outsider like Li Zuiyue. The distinction is clear at a glance.
Li Zuiyue: ???
Skin me alive?
With my short temper!
Old bastard, who are you trying to scare!
An old lecher of over a thousand years, marrying wives and having children every day, not even having stepped into the Manifestation Stage.
Are you worthy of threatening me, Li Zuiyue?
What kind of thing!
If you dare touch a single hair of mine, do you think the formidable reputation of my Master, on par with Uncle Master Luo, was asked for?
Glancing sideways at Ji Yan, Li Zuiyue was neither humble nor arrogant.
He calmly formed a seal and cupped his hands, saying indifferently, "Since everything is a misunderstanding, Zuiyue will not disturb you any longer, Uncle Master."
After saying that.
With a Pa, he directly hung up Ji Yan's communication.
Then.
He turned to look at Wang Xiu, his gaze deep and profound, making Wang Xiu shiver involuntarily.
Good heavens.
Facing an expert of the Soul Formation Stage, you dare be so unbridled?
Too arrogant!
This fellow wouldn't have lost face and be preparing to silence the witness, right!
Just as Wang Xiu's scalp went numb and he was thinking of running like the wind (retreating).
"Wang Xiu Junior Brother."
"I was impulsive just now and offended you greatly. I hope you do not take offense. Let me apologize to you!"
The flamboyant and unbridled young man before him suddenly clasped his hands with both fists and gave Wang Xiu a ninety-degree bow: "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, I am truly sorry!"
Wang Xiu: (⊙⊙)
Wang Xiu: (_?)...
...
Looking at Li Zuiyue, who was bowing and apologizing with an incredibly sincere attitude, Wang Xiu was completely stunned.
He apologized just like that.
Without a bit of the burden of an idol belonging to a supreme genius.
Are the Senior Brothers of the Sword Vein this honest?
