Chapter 386: Chapter 387: Who’s the Genius? Who’s the Trash? (Part 3)
Seeing Mu Ruyue forced to retreat, the crowd couldn’t help but shake their heads.
No matter how talented she was, how could she be Lin Ruoying’s opponent?
At this moment, no one noticed that near the Martial Arts Platform, the Dean was chatting with an elder in a red robe while watching the fight when suddenly, the elder’s breathing tightened, and his gaze fixated on Mu Ruyue.
“Infernal Ember! It’s actually Infernal Ember. Who is this woman? Why does she have Xiao Yun’s signature technique, Infernal Ember?”
Xiao Yun was the most talented person in Xiao Family history, having reached Innate Great Perfection at a young age. Unfortunately, he was schemed against, preventing any further breakthroughs, but he remained the person Elder Xiao most admired in his life.
How could he not be excited to see Infernal Ember now?
“Infernal Ember has three levels, each one’s power stacking upon the last. Elder Xiao Yun back then defeated an Advanced Innate with only Intermediate Innate strength, all thanks to the Fiery Sword Technique!”
The excitement surged in the elder’s eyes as he watched Mu Ruyue without blinking.
“Old Man Xiao, are you saying she is using Xiao Yun’s Infernal Ember? Right, what’s her relationship to the Xiao Family?” The Dean blinked and turned to look at the elder beside him.
Xiao Baixuan snapped out of it and chuckled, “The Xiao Family’s secret techniques are not passed to outsiders. If this lass isn’t Xiao Yun’s disciple, then she must be his descendant. If I’m not mistaken, she must have some connection with Xiao Feng. That young fellow agreed to my request to return home in exchange for the Xiao Family’s help in searching for someone. If I’m right, the one he’s looking for is this lass.”
The Dean paused, then let out a wry smile, “Old Man Xiao, I can’t help but admire your luck.”
“What do you mean by that?” Xiao Baixuan looked back at the Dean, puzzled, and raised an eyebrow, “My luck is good? I don’t think I understand how it’s any good.”
“That, you don’t need to know yet.”
Dean said, stroking his white beard with a smile.
Of course, his luck was good.
Not only was the lass the master of Dan Book, but she was also connected to those old geezers on the back mountain and even a reincarnation of Moon Venerate. With such a person related to his Xiao Family, how could their luck not be great?
Xiao Baixuan’s face intentionally darkened, and he said sternly, “Old man, after all these years, you’re still talking in riddles to me? Those who speak in half-truths are the easiest to be despised!”
“No matter how you ask, I simply can’t tell you,” the Dean glanced at him, “But what I can tell you is this—if this lass is from your Xiao Family, treat her well, don’t do anything to offend her, or else the consequences will be unimaginable, especially with those old immortals from your family. It’s said that back then, it was those very immortals who banded together to force Xiao Yun out of the Xiao Family. I can assure you, if this girl returns to the Xiao Family, she will surely face oppression. That’s why I’m giving you a heads up.”
Offending her, the consequences would be unimaginable—
Xiao Baixuan’s expression froze, staring at the Dean’s stern face in bewilderment.
This old fellow was always irreverent, and it was rare to see him with such a serious expression.
Moreover, such a high evaluation genuinely shocked Xiao Baixuan. What kind of ability did the girl possess to make the old man say such things?
“That’s all I have to say. As for the rest, you’ll have to figure it out on your own. However, I can tell you that Central State Academy is her backing, and at her single word, we would walk through fire and water for her.”
