The Title of the Continent's Number One Support!

The new residence was small, a two-story pavilion with a courtyard that couldn't compare to the luxurious mansion they had before.

The decline of a family can often be seen from their living quarters.

The once magnificent and noble mansion had now been reduced to a two-story pavilion.

It was hard to say if the Ye Family could accept such a stark contrast.

But looking at the man's expression, he didn't seem to care much.

Pushing open the gate, the man said, "Come in. This place doesn't compare to the Chen Family, so please forgive the lack of hospitality."

Xu Xiao waved his hand with a smile, "You are too kind, Senior. This is already very good."

"A mountain need not be high; it is famous if there is a deity. A lake need not be deep; it is magical if there is a dragon."

"This is a humble abode, but my virtue makes it fragrant!"

"Such a tranquil place actually suits your elegant style, Senior."

The man chuckled, "What fine literary talent, Shengxin. Later, record these two lines from our young friend and post them in the backyard."

Ye Shengxin nodded quickly, "Understood, Father!"

The man nodded, "Come in together."

The group arrived at the backyard. The man sent the two women beside him off to run errands, while he, Ye Shengxin, and Xu Xiao sat down in the pavilion at the back.

"Young friend, I wonder if His Excellency sent you here with any instructions?"

"Or perhaps, do you need me to treat an illness?"

The man didn't beat around the bush; there was nothing to entertain Xu Xiao with at the moment, so there was no need to stand on ceremony.

Xu Xiao looked at the man and Ye Shengxin, then spoke softly, "Senior, actually, I did not come under the orders of the Seven Kill Douluo."

"I merely borrowed his name."

The man was amused by Xu Xiao's words; he certainly had a lot of nerve.

He felt foolish for having believed a little brat's words.

"Are you not afraid of death?"

"Using his name—if His Excellency finds out, you won't have a good end."

"The door is over there. I won't see you out!"

"Let's just pretend we never met today."

The man issued an immediate eviction order, but Xu Xiao only smiled, showing no intention of leaving.

Xu Xiao looked at the man and said calmly, "Senior, although I did not come under orders, I do indeed have a connection with His Excellency."

"I am brothers with the son of the Seven Kill Douluo."

"You may verify this with His Excellency."

"I came here, one could say, to point out a clear path for you."

"And I come from: Chuan Ling!"

Xu Xiao explained calmly, stating his position and attitude directly.

Dropping the name of Chen Jianjun was partly for his own safety, and partly to be more persuasive.

Chuan Ling?

What kind of power was this?

The man and Ye Shengxin exchanged glances; it was clear that neither of them knew what this power was.

It could be said that this was the first time they had ever heard of it.

Could it be some new faction? But what was the source of their confidence?

Suddenly, the man seemed to think of something. He wasn't sent by the Seven Kill Douluo, yet he had a connection to him.

Now, mentioning this Chuan Ling power—did it mean this fellow had come with orders from Chuan Ling and was in contact with His Excellency?

Then... did the Seven Kill Douluo exist within this Chuan Ling power?

Thinking of this, the man seemed to understand.

If the Seven Kill Douluo was involved, then they would have the capital to contend with the major powers.

That made sense.

Having figured this out, the man's demeanor softened significantly, "Speak then, why exactly have you come here?"

Xu Xiao didn't know what the other party was thinking, but seeing that they were willing to communicate was the best outcome.

The only thing to fear was a brute who only knew how to resort to violence.

"Senior, could you tell me why you have fallen out with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Xu Xiao wasn't foolish enough to believe the words of onlookers; perhaps some were true, but they certainly weren't the whole story. To know the specifics, he had to ask the person involved.

"Hmph, isn't it just because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wants the title of the number one support?" Ye Shengxin snorted, full of disdain.

Xu Xiao paused. Could they really be that brain-dead? All for the sake of some meaningless title?

The man saw Xu Xiao's puzzled expression and explained, "Young friend, you should know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is hailed as the continent's number one beast martial soul."

"That is a reputation they fought for themselves."

"As for the number one tool martial soul, it belongs to the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer. The strongest on land, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, has a prestigious reputation; that point is also beyond doubt."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao merely smiled. The number one beast martial soul? Wasn't that just a title they gave themselves? As for the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Chen was indeed formidable; that was indisputable.

However, it was only Tang Chen who was strong; the others were merely average.

As for the title of the number one tool martial soul, Xu Xiao felt it could be handed over to his Fifth Brother.

The Deadly Seven Kill Sword, he reckoned, could split a Clear Sky Hammer in two with a single strike.

Ye Shengxin's Father continued, "And Martial Soul Hall can be considered the strongest power; even the two great empires and the Clear Sky Sect must avoid their sharp edge."

"They, however, disdain such titles."

"With the tool martial soul and beast martial soul already claimed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as one of the major powers, naturally wants to secure the title of the number one support martial soul for itself."

Xu Xiao calmly replied, "So, senior, your Nine Heart Begonia martial soul became a stumbling block on their path to hegemony?"

The man nodded, then shook his head. "You could say that. After all, the healing ability of our Nine Heart Begonia martial soul is indeed not weak."

Xu Xiao asked, puzzled, "Senior, there must be a deeper reason, surely? After all, there can only be two Nine Heart Begonia users at any given time."

"It shouldn't pose a threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

The man looked at Xu Xiao with curiosity. This fellow actually knew that point; it seemed the Chuan Ling power behind this kid was not weak.

On second thought, with Seven Kill Douluo present, it naturally wouldn't be.

"Indeed. Young friend, have you ever heard of Twin Martial Souls?"

The man suddenly cast his gaze over, and Xu Xiao instinctively looked back at him.

Twin Martial Souls?

What did this have to do with Twin Martial Souls?

Suddenly, Xu Xiao seemed to realize something. "Senior, could it be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wants to create Twin Martial Souls?"

The man chuckled. "It seems you do know about Twin Martial Souls."

"Just as you thought."

"It is exactly about Twin Martial Souls."

Xu Xiao was stunned. It was true that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect knew about Twin Martial Souls; Xu Xiao remembered that in the original work, when Ning Fengzhi learned that the little brat was a Twin Martial Soul user, he resolutely supported him.

There were many ways for Ning Fengzhi to know about Twin Martial Souls; after all, Bibi Dong was a Twin Martial Soul user at that time.

It was normal for Ning Fengzhi to know about Twin Martial Souls back then.

But now, how did they know about Twin Martial Souls?

After all, he was the first person on the continent to possess Twin Martial Souls.

And he hadn't exposed it yet.

"Senior, why would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect know about Twin Martial Souls?"

Xu Xiao asked out of curiosity. He knew about Twin Martial Souls because he was a transmigrator, but how many people knew about it at this point in time?

The man said, "I am not entirely sure of the specifics. I assume they saw it in some ancient book."

"Ever since then, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has set their sights on us."
