Swallow in the Palm

"What... what was that?" Yu Tianheng's tone was filled with confusion. The last moment deep in his memory was the burst of Soul Power that erupted in an instant, a purple light and shadow so solid that it made his heart tremble. "That quality of Soul Power... is that his true strength?"

"It's just a Teleportation Array." Violet picked up the drink Ye Qingcang had left on the table and nonchalantly downed the remaining half in one gulp. "Also, strictly speaking, that's not Soul Power, but a complex, unnamed, hybrid force. In your definition, you can define any power as Soul Power —that's your right, like calling a deer a horse. If you're willing to accept it, then the deer is a horse. But in our definition, we can also define a deer as a fish, a bird, or a tiger—it's just a name. Therefore, the master's power has no name, nor does it need one. It's just a habitual way of defining this power as Soul Power, but its essence is completely different from the Soul Power within your bodies!"

"I don't understand..." Oslo said honestly.

Shi Mo and Shi Mo also shook their heads slightly.

Dugu Yan understood a bit better.

But I only understood a little bit of it.

Yu Tianxin's mind worked quite quickly when it came to cultivation, and she was eager to learn. "Miss Violet, what you're saying is like the difference between us Soul Master and Soul Beast: Soul Master ' Soul Power is docile, while Soul Beast ' Soul Power is violent. Similarly, our Soul Power is like water, while the clan leader's Soul Power is like steel. Even if everyone is level 40, steel can easily shatter a water sphere, but a water sphere cannot shatter steel; am I understanding correctly?"

"How is that possible!" Upon hearing Yu Tianxin's analysis, Yu Tianheng instinctively retorted, "With equal Soul Power Level, all Soul Master possess the same quality of Soul Power; this is clearly common knowledge in the Soul Master World!"

Yu Tianxin's gaze toward Yu Tianheng gradually turned contemptuous.

However, before he could laugh at Yu Tianheng, a soft, sweet voice rang out from the side, speaking on his behalf and expressing what he wanted to say.

"Um..." Ye Lingling slowly raised her hand, her gentlest voice forcefully shattering the common sense about Soul Master that Yu Tianheng had been instilled with by Yu Xiaogang: "Is it possible that this is just one of the common sense rules in the Soul Master World, and shouldn't and couldn't possibly apply to those God Trial Taker?"

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Along with those shattered worldviews.

This silenced Yu Tianheng.

The air gradually quieted down.

The same silence also occurred with Bai Chenxiang.

"Ugh..." Bai Chenxiang leaned against the wall, retching painfully. The feeling, as if she had been thrown into a washing machine and spun around, was something she never wanted to experience again, even though she was traveling very fast. "Can I ask... ugh... can I ask where this is... ugh... and what was that Soul Skill you just used...?"

"Soul Skill?" Ye Qingcang's reaction was much better than Bai Chenxiang's. Although his reaction wasn't much better than Bai Chenxiang's when he first used teleportation, he gradually got used to it over time. "Alright, if you insist on defining this teleportation magic as a Soul Skill, then it is a Soul Skill; This is the territory of the Strength Clan. Your grandfather Bai He, the patriarch of the Defense Clan Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Strength Clan Tai Tan, and Tang Hao and his son are currently discussing whether the Four Element Families should return to the Clear Sky Sect within the Strength Clan's territory..."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Bai Chenxiang pressed her chest, which was neither too large nor too small, trying to calm her heart, which was pounding wildly from vomiting. Leaning against the wall beside her, her wings spread wide, her tone filled with hatred. "Although I don't know if submitting to you was the right choice, submitting to the Clear Sky Sect was definitely the wrong choice. More than ten years ago, when we went to war with the Spirit Hall, we were the ones who shed blood and tears. Not only did they say they wouldn't fight anymore, but they also pushed us out and left us to bear the pressure from the Spirit Hall alone... Don't even mention that our Bai Clan and the Clear Sky Sect have a marriage alliance. Even if we didn't, we can't be treated like dogs, ordered around like servants; given a bone when needed and kicked away when not!"

"The Clear Sky Sect also suffered considerable casualties." Ye Qingcang, following behind Bai Chenxiang, spoke a few fair words, "The Sixth Elder's son was killed in battle."

"But the Sixth Elder wasn't abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect!" Bai Chenxiang moved swiftly, soaring across the sky and descending before the main hall of the Strength Clan: "Several of my uncles died in that battle, including my parents. Yet our Speed Clan was abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect... Why? Just because the Sixth Elder's surname is Tang?"

"Who!"

"Stop!"

"This is the territory of the Strength Clan. Those who come, halt!"

"Hands up, don't move!"

In front of the main hall of the Strength Clan, many clansmen who had come with Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Defense Clan, and Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, changed their Martial Soul and aimed them at Bai Chenxiang and Ye Qingcang, the two people who had descended from the sky. The members of the Strength Clan also summoned their Martial Soul, and the atmosphere outside instantly became tense and on the verge of war.

Fortunately, there were members of the Speed Clan present.

Upon seeing Bai Chenxiang regain her appearance, they quickly stopped the others who wanted to attack.

"Wait, they're on our side! They're on our side!"

"This is the young patriarch of our Speed Clan."

"Yes, she is the granddaughter of Chief Bai He."

"Brothers of the three clans, do not lay a hand on them."

The atmosphere immediately eased when the members of the Speed Clan spoke. Although Bai Chenxiang's way of entering was indeed impolite, the Speed Clan had already acknowledged it, and the close relationship between the Four Element Families remained unchanged, so they naturally wouldn't point weapons at her.

Put away your Martial Soul.

They looked at Bai Chenxiang and Ye Qingcang with curious eyes.

Bai Chenxiang's appearance was already among the best in the world.

She could get at least 90 out of 100.

Ye Qingcang's appearance was even more beautiful than hers, almost a perfect score. Especially his temperament after being optimized by Magnetic Field Martial Arts, if fully released, he was simply walking hormones. Even if he deliberately restrained himself, he still made many female Soul Master with weak self-control in the Four Element Families swoon. When the two stood together, in the eyes of the Soul Master of the Speed Clan, they were a perfect match.

Before Bai Chenxiang could speak or even move, several familiar relatives emerged from the crowd, their expressions strangely tinged with auntie smiles, and surrounded her and Ye Qingcang, subtly inquiring about their relationship:

"Chen Xiang, who is this...?"

"Oh my, look at that physique, that air about him... he's such a good match for our Chen Xiang; child, have you come with Chen Xiang to see your grandfather?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Third Sister? Let Chen Xiang introduce this handsome young man herself. You're shamelessly asking him like that. Be careful not to scare the child."

"Yes, Chen Xiang... can you tell me more about it?"

"Oh dear, you lot are so thoughtless, don't you even know the occasion... Come here, Chen Xiang, and you, child, come over here and talk. Chen Xiang, that girl, is so stubborn. She secretly ran away for two or three years, making her grandfather worry sick. She's finally back this time, so don't be nervous, her grandfather definitely won't blame you!"

Bai Chenxiang face.

She looked at Ye Qingcang helplessly.

Question: My relationship with my master, whom I just swore allegiance to, has been misunderstood by my extended family. They don't even know their place and keep calling me "child," which makes me very nervous. What should I do to avoid the misunderstanding and get straight to the point?

I need help urgently!

However, Ye Qingcang never disappointed, nor did he ever make things difficult for his own people. He glanced at Bai Chenxiang, his smile becoming more sincere. He patted Bai Chenxiang Bai Chenxiang's shoulder and, smiling, took over the chaotic questions for her. "Uncles and aunts, it's our first meeting, and I don't know how to address you properly, so I'll just use these names for now. Please forgive me if I offend you... Uncles and aunts, Chen Xiang and I are friends. Whether we can reach the point you all hope for in the future is still uncertain. I've come here only to visit Clan Chief Bai He. I wonder if you could do me the favor of allowing Chen Xiang and me to enter the hall and discuss matters with Clan Chief Bai He?"

It's a perfectly normal statement.

That's the fairest statement imaginable.

Bai Chenxiang suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

Subconsciously, she looked up and followed Ye Qingcang's hand on her shoulder, the arm that seemed to give her strength and felt hot even through her clothes. Looking at Ye Qingcang's impeccable profile, her gaze couldn't help but linger for a moment. Suddenly, she could understand why Violet was willing to acknowledge this boy as her master, and why this boy, who was about the same age as her, was ranked number one on the Heaven Ranking.

She has an incredibly strong personal charm.

You know perfectly well that these are tactics to win people over.

You know perfectly well that these things are just for show.

But you just can't say no!

Moreover, when you have this thought, your next thought is actually to admire the other party's integrity: Ye Qingcang could have clearly stated their relationship, but he deliberately saved her face; he didn't need to consider her feelings as his subordinate, but he saw her embarrassment and helplessness, and even went so far as to use this method to clearly explain their relationship without making her lose face...

I...

I...

I just swore an oath of allegiance!

They haven't even completed the proper allegiance process!

It was just verbal surrender!

Your trust is too cheap, but I have a conscience!

Seeing the lingering smiles on the faces of the uncles and aunts, Bai Chenxiang blushed without realizing it. Only after Ye Qingcang Ye Qingcang his arm did she glance at him with a sense of loss, her small hands clenched together and placed on her lower abdomen, her ten fingers anxiously twisting.

But this scene, as seen by Bai He who had just emerged from the main hall of the Strength Clan, held far too many implications, so many that it made Bai He dizzy and compelled Bai He to subconsciously interpret even more details.

There's a really handsome guy next to me?

Voluntarily returning to the Hui ethnic group?

Pale-faced?

Place your palms on your lower abdomen?

Surrounded by a group of relatives?

Bai He's smile was starting to falter. Even though he knew he couldn't show his displeasure when his granddaughter returned to her clan, lest he anger her and drive her away again, he seriously doubted whether he would see his first great-grandson in less than ten months if he didn't show it.

With a flash, he was already in front of Bai Chenxiang.

Because he is the fastest.

So, he was the first one to open the door.

Tai Tan, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao are still to come.

Family scandals should not be aired in public.

Even if you have to discipline them, you have to drag them inside to do it.

We absolutely cannot let these young men outside see this and make a fool of ourselves.

Thinking of this, Bai He decisively reached out and grabbed Bai Chenxiang's collar, intending to lift Bai Chenxiang inside like a kitten. This was mainly because Bai Chenxiang was old. If he were Bai Chenxiang's grandmother, he would not have hesitated, but he was her grandfather, and he couldn't punish Bai Chenxiang without any sense of propriety.

If Bai Chenxiang is his eldest grandson.

They did something wrong, or had an illegitimate child.

He brought the woman to his home.

Without a word, he would hang up his grandson and give him a good beating. Although the Needletail Swift has no offensive capabilities, a grandfather doesn't need any offensive power to beat his grandson; he can simply take off his belt, which becomes his weapon.

But Bai Chenxiang is the granddaughter...

Damn it...

The more I think about it, the angrier I get...

So, Bai He held his breath and grabbed Bai Chenxiang by the back of her collar with lightning speed. The difference in speed was so great that Bai Chenxiang couldn't react at all. However, this phenomenon is also normal. If a Soul Douluo of level 80 or above could make a Soul Elder of level 30 or above react even when he went all out, then that Soul Douluo might as well not live and just drown himself in his own urine!

I can't afford to lose face like that!

However, just because Bai Chenxiang couldn't react doesn't mean Ye Qingcang couldn't react!

The moment the Bai He touched the collar!

Ye Qingcang also grasped Bai He's wrist!

Thus, to onlookers, the visual effect became like this: Bai He pushed open the door and disappeared instantly → instantly crossed the distance of more than 200 meters in front of the palace platform, appeared behind Bai Chenxiang and grabbed Bai Chenxiang's collar, her wrist was held by Ye Qingcang who raised his hand at some unknown time → Bai He and Ye Qingcang at each other, their eyes filled with pressure.

process?

detail?

Sorry, it's too fast, I can't see it!

In a battle between strong individuals, especially those with speed, the outcome can often be decided in the blink of an eye. The fragile ones are indeed fragile, and the fast ones are indeed fast, and this is also true for Ye Qingcang and Bai He!

"What strength!" Bai He's eyes were filled with anger. Although he didn't know this kid, it didn't stop him from teaching him a lesson. "And what audacity... to think that the Speed Clan has no one left?"

The people of the four surrounding tribes immediately became interested.

They became bystanders, watching the drama unfold.

The members of the Speed Clan were also stunned.

I don't understand why they suddenly started shouting for war and killing.

Fortunately, Ye Qingcang had no intention of fighting. He glanced at Bai He, who was secretly exerting force, and slowly released his grip. Watching Bai He also slowly loosen his grip on Bai Chenxiang's collar, he remained calm and composed. "Elder Clan Chief Bai He, don't be so angry. The reason Chen Xiang's face is pale is because the journey here was a bit bumpy. As for his hand..."

Ye Qingcang grasped Bai Chenxiang's arm.

Separate the hands that were holding the Bai Chenxiang to the lower abdomen.

Seeing that Bai Chenxiang still didn't understand, Bai He asked a question that made Bai He ponder deeply, "Does Elder Bai He think... given Chen Xiang's current bewildered expression, is her thinking simple?"

Bai Chenxiang turned around in confusion.

Look at Grandpa, then look at Ye Qingcang.

Puzzled, he asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing..." Bai He immediately interrupted Bai Chenxiang's spellcasting. After watching Bai Chenxiang think carefully, he repeatedly placed his hand on his stomach. Then, as Bai Chenxiang gradually understood and his face began to flush, Bai He quickly interrupted the spellcasting and forcibly changed the subject, "By the way, Chen Xiang, aren't you going to introduce this friend to Grandpa?"

Bai Chenxiang was distracted by Bai He and forgot about the misunderstanding that had just occurred. At the same time, she instantly remembered Ye Qingcang's main purpose for coming here.

He smiled apologetically at Ye Qingcang.

He tried to salvage the situation by introducing, "This is..."

"Ye! Qing! Cang!!!" A voice filled with hatred came from the entrance of the main hall. Tang San, filled with rage, called out Ye Qingcang's name first. Under the curious gazes of everyone, he stared at Ye Qingcang with a hatred that needed no further explanation. Every word was filled with anguish. Although his tone sounded like he had been bullied, compared to Ye Qingcang standing beside Bai Chenxiang and Bai He —one in the shadows of the hall, the other in the afternoon sunlight— Tang San appeared more like a demon king, roaring defiantly at the brave Ye Qingcang: "You actually dare to appear here, appear before me?"

In an instant, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves!
