Xiao Wu Shuts Down

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice Ling stroked the token in her hand, her eyes glazed over as she stared blankly at the spot where Xiao Han had disappeared, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Human, I don't need your help."

His tone was extremely firm, and his expression was solemn.

Even so, he carefully put the token away and then resolutely walked into the depths of the Ruins.

"Teacher, what happened in the Ruins just now?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

By this time, most of the others had left, leaving only Xiao Wu and his three companions.

Recalling the violent fluctuations that had just erupted from the Ruins, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a pang of fear.

All he could say was that the Ruins were of very high quality; although they were crumbling, they still stood firm.

"Nothing."

Xiao Han said somewhat solemnly, then rubbed Xiao Wu's head, which annoyed the latter.

"It's just that the promise I made to Heavenly Ice is probably going to fall through."

"Teacher, you're not going to say that the Dou Sheng Expert is Heavenly Ice, are you?"

Xiao Wu's little brain finally came back online at this moment. He had been so immersed in the fear of seeing Dou Sheng Expert that he hadn't thought about this possibility.

However, after Xiao Han's reminder, Xiao Wu immediately realized that the Cold Qi emanating from that powerful figure seemed to be only slightly weaker than that of his teacher.

If he is such a Mysterious Object form, then there is nothing surprising about it.

But then came a wave of disappointment. "Even you, teacher, are no match for him?"

In Xiao Wu's view, this was a tremendous opportunity! Imagine the power that Humanoid Heavenly Ice of Dou Sheng, would unleash if he were to subdue him!

"Slap!" Xiao Han slapped him directly.

"Ouch," Xiao Han rubbed his head and said with dissatisfaction, "Teacher, why did you hit me again?"

"Remember this, don't try to take advantage of him again. Not even if you become stronger! Understand?"

Xiao Han's expression was serious, which momentarily stunned Xiao Wu, the disrespectful junior.

"Yes," Xiao Wu blurted out.

Then, Xiao Han turned his gaze to the Langya Guard.

"Forget everything you saw today, understand?"

"Yes." x3

The three answered readily.

What happened today was truly mind-blowing. I never imagined that such a Mysterious Object could transform into human form and possess such devastating power.

Although I had never heard of Heavenly Ice before, I suppose only the top three Exotic Fire on the Strange Fire Ranking have the ability to contend with it.

Indeed, the world is a vast and wondrous place!

I still need to see more of the world.

Xiao Han didn't care at all about what the others thought. He simply took them back to the Langya Pavilion.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

As soon as he landed, Yi Huang greeted him with a worried expression, examining Xiao Han thoroughly while asking him a series of questions.

Xiao Wu and the other three: burp

To save their own lives, Xiao Wu and the others left quietly.

Don't worry!

Xiao Han felt a warmth in his heart, and pulled Yi Huang into his arms, speaking softly:

"Who am I, your husband? And how many people are qualified to hurt me now?"

Her face flushed with embarrassment from the hot breath exhaled from Xiao Han's nostrils, Yi Huang lightly patted Xiao Han and said reproachfully:

"Are there still people here?"

"Oh?" Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and looked around.

Upon seeing this, all the disciples Elder skillfully used their movement techniques to quickly leave.

"Huang'er, you must be mistaken. There's no one here at all."

"Huh?" Yi Huang looked up in a daze, and seeing that there was no one around, a few cute question marks appeared above her head.

Where are they?

Then, their attention shifted to the only living creature present besides the two of them, the beloved pet of the Langya Pavilion —the third-tier Magical Beast, the Wind Hound.

The Wind Hound, who was enjoying its meal, seemed to notice Yi Huang's gaze. It looked up and glanced at her, initially wondering why no one was giving it a massage anymore.

Then, it caught sight of Xiao Han's benevolent gaze.

Um...

Let's go!

He picked up the rice bowl, channeled all his Dou Qi, and vanished from their sight in an instant.

"See, there's no one else here now!"

Xiao Han said to Yi Huang, who was somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Aren't you childish?" Yi Huang rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"It's alright, we're not busy right now, let's go out for a stroll." Xiao Han laughed, but didn't seem to care.

However, Xiao Wu was heartbroken by the scene before her.

Originally, I just wanted to come to this restaurant for a hearty meal to soothe my wounded little heart.

But now his injuries have worsened...

What did he see?

My brother Ye, the aloof and handsome god recognized by all the disciples of the Langya Pavilion, actually has a woman by his side!

It's truly shocking—it's absolutely shocking!

Especially Ye Shenghan's Jing Hong smile made Xiao Wu wonder if she was still half asleep. We agreed to be dogs together, but have you really gone completely inhuman?!

No, this must be a misunderstanding!

Immediately, Xiao Wu, full of doubts, walked up to the two of them as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Ye, it's been a long time!" Xiao Wu said to Ye Shenghan with a big smile.

"Oh, it's Xiao Wu!" Ye Shenghan finally noticed Xiao Wu's presence, and his expression returned to its coldness, making Xiao Wu wonder if she had seen wrong just now.

"Weren't you sent out on a mission by your senior apprentice?"

"Oh! Don't even mention it!" At this moment, Xiao Wu's thoughts shifted.

"I almost died out there this time," he said, feigning deep regret. "If it weren't for my quick thinking, big brother, you wouldn't be seeing me Xiao Wu!"

Towards the end, her voice even trembled with a hint of sobbing.

"Oh?",

Ye Shenghan was genuinely curious. Junior Brother Xiao was clearly still quite favored, and shouldn't be so disliked by his senior master as to resort to using him as a tool to kill.

How did they end up in such a dangerous situation?

"Let me tell you something..." Then, as if remembering something, Xiao Wu suddenly waved his hand.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on sad things."

Ye Shenghan: "..."

Sure enough, my junior brother has truly inherited the essence of his master's teachings, and has mastered the art of being wicked.

What should I do if I really want to hit someone?

If it were before, Ye Shenghan might have actually drawn his sword and stabbed him.

But...

Ye Shenghan glanced at Yin Xin, who was standing quietly beside him...

Let's stop this, we can't be too rude!

However, although Xiao Wu unintentionally escaped a disaster, he still insisted on seeking trouble.

"Brother Ye, who is this person next to you...?" Xiao Wu asked with a curious expression.

"Oh, this one..." Ye Shenghan got excited when he mentioned this, and his originally expressionless face showed a slight change.

"She is Yin Xin, the personal disciple of Heavenly Sound Old Man, who was sent to the Langya Pavilion for training."

"My senior uncle asked me to look after her for a while."

"Oh..."

So that's how it is. Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he, Xiao Wu, hadn't misjudged him. Brother Ye was still that golden bachelor!

"Then why don't we eat together?" With the threat gone, Xiao Wu offered.

There's nothing wrong with either of them, however...

The real show has only just begun!
