The Provocation of the Seven Treasures Student!

Although the man was displeased, he was no longer truly angry.

To be able to have Chen Jianjun's son follow him, this fellow certainly had some tricks up his sleeve; he was the first person to have managed to deceive him twice.

The man found himself becoming interested in Xu Xiao.

"Three strikes and you're out!" the man said indifferently, his expression calm, showing no intention of blaming Xu Xiao.

"Xu Xiao, there is no need for you to try and recruit us."

"You little ones are just playing house; dragging the Ye Family into this will only bring disaster upon you."

The man spoke very tactfully; he did not want to involve them in the grievances of the Ye Family.

Xu Xiao waved his hand, appearing remarkably mature: "Senior, with the reputation of the Seven Kill Douluo, do you think we will have any trouble?"

"Not only will we not, but once the news spreads, it will also allow your Ye Family to no longer fear the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"You are joining Chuan Ling, but you could say you are under the command of the Seven Kill Douluo's son. After all, the Seven Kill Douluo's son is the Fifth Hall Master of Chuan Ling."

"I imagine the Seven Kill Douluo's reputation is still quite useful, isn't it?"

Xu Xiao chuckled, having already pointed out a clear path for the other party.

It had to be said, Chen Jianjun's reputation was truly useful.

In this day and age where Title Douluo were few, coupled with the fact that the man was a level 98 Title Douluo whose strength had almost reached the pinnacle, he was the strongest aside from Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi.

Under such circumstances, his reputation was certainly useful.

Watching the man's hesitant appearance, Xu Xiao continued: "Senior, have you ever heard the saying that providing charcoal in the snow is better than adding flowers to embroidery?"

Hearing this, the man's brows furrowed slightly, and he began to hesitate.

The man looked at Ye Shengxin, who was standing to the side: "Shengxin, go see if your mother has returned."

Ye Shengxin understood and immediately rose to leave, leaving only Xu Xiao and the man behind.

The man looked at Xu Xiao, took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and cast his gaze into the distance.

"Little Friend Xu, since you are all playing house, why not let Shengxin follow you?"

The man hesitated for a long time before finally saying these words.

Xu Xiao did not say much, as if all of this were within his expectations. When it came down to it, the man still dared not gamble, yet he did not want to give up just like that.

He ultimately chose a compromise: letting Ye Shengxin follow Xu Xiao.

This way, the Ye Family would not be left without an heir, and Ye Shengxin had also awakened the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.

"In that case, I thank you, Senior." Xu Xiao also knew that it would be very difficult to get the entire Ye Family to join based on his own words alone.

Unless he really called Chen Jianjun over, the credibility would not be high, but Xu Xiao could not command Chen Jianjun at the moment.

As for Chen Xin? It was not convenient for Xu Xiao to have him appear right now.

Since they were not his own people, Xu Xiao dared not be that arrogant.

Before the two could finish speaking, Ye Shengxin ran back in a hurry: "Father, Father, the students from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are here."

Upon hearing this, the man's expression shifted: "Ignore them."

Ye Shengxin said: "Fa... Father, they are here to challenge me."

When Xu Xiao heard this, he was so angry he laughed; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really was unwilling to give up.

To think they would actually stoop to bullying an auxiliary spirit master.

Before the man could speak, Xu Xiao said: "Senior, could you provide me with a quiet place?"

The man pointed to the second floor: "Go to the room upstairs yourself; I will go out and take a look first."

Xu Xiao did not hesitate and left the area.

The man and Ye Shengxin headed toward the main gate of the pavilion.

Outside the gate, the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had arrived once again, led by a man who looked rather ill-intentioned.

"Heh,"

"Ye Shengxin, are you so scared that you've gone to call for your daddy?"

The leading youth was extremely disdainful and provocative.

"Gu Rong, what kind of skill is it to bully an auxiliary spirit master like me? If you have the guts, go bully Chen Xin!"

Ye Shengxin snorted; bullying an auxiliary spirit master was exactly the kind of thing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would do.

Clearly, Ye Shengxin knew the person before him.

And judging by the tone, they seemed quite familiar.

Gu Rong—if Xu Xiao were here, he would surely be shocked to find that it was actually Gu Rong.

Was the other party a student of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Looking at the appearance of these people, they were indeed students.

"Hmph, your Ye Family doesn't know what's good for you. You brought this upon yourselves."

"Ye Shengxin, for the sake of our past friendship, I'll let you strike me first!"

"As long as you can push me back, we'll retreat!"

Gu Rong stepped onto the stone statue in front of the gate, his tone dripping with provocation, causing those behind him to burst into laughter.

Ye Shengxin's Father let out a cold snort, the pressure of a Soul Sage crashing down upon Gu Rong and his companions.

With a loud crack, Gu Rong was forced to his knees on the ground.

Terrified, Gu Rong shouted, "Senior, if anything happens to us, there will be no need for the Ye Family to exist anymore."

"This is a matter between the younger generation, so please, Senior, it would be best not to interfere!"

Even while being suppressed, Gu Rong did not show a hint of cowardice, brazenly threatening the other party.

There was no fear on his face; instead, he was brimming with confidence, certain that with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect backing them, they would come to no harm.

The man snorted, but for the sake of his family, he chose to hold back.

Withdrawing his pressure, the man stood to the side and watched, his gaze drifting toward the pavilion from time to time, hoping that the boy would come out to help.

Ye Shengxin was a support-type; he stood no chance against the opposition.

The man knew this was a show of force from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; if they couldn't move you directly, they would target your son.

We aren't bullying the young with the old, so what can you do? It's just that your son is incompetent!

That was exactly the plan they were executing.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect intended to break the Ye Family's psychological defenses bit by bit, forcing them to bow their heads.

The man just hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

Feeling the pressure vanish, Gu Rong returned to his cocky demeanor, insisting that this was a duel between juniors and that the adults should stay out of it.

"Ye Shengxin, make your move. I'm letting you strike first."

Gu Rong cracked his neck, his confidence fully restored.

He loved this; this feeling was excellent.

Ye Shengxin's expression was grim; he understood that he was about to be humiliated today.

He did not blame his father, nor did he fail to understand him; if his father intervened, it would inevitably draw the higher-ups of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into the fray.

That was a force he could not afford to provoke.

At this moment, he wished more than anything that his father had joined Xu Xiao's Chuan Ling faction; at the very least, by leveraging the reputation of Chen Jianjun, they could have avoided a great deal of trouble.

The provocative gazes of Gu Rong and his group remained fixed on Ye Shengxin; if not for the presence of Ye Shengxin's Father, they would have already begun hurling insults.

They had prepared a barrage of profanities involving his parents, but with the man standing right there, they didn't quite dare—they were a bit cowardly.

"What's the matter, Ye Shengxin? You're all grown up, yet you're still someone who needs his daddy to protect him?"

Gu Rong and his group jeered, desperate to goad Ye Shengxin into attacking.
