Cursing Out Old Monster Hou and Scoring a Ninth-grade Pill Recipe

"What are you supposed to be? A stray dog by the roadside, and you think you're fit to be compared with my teacher?" Xiao Yan sneered, his face full of disdain.

Out of respect for Old Monster Hou's seniority, he had planned to be polite.

But the old man had taken that courtesy and spat on it. Mocking his teacher right in front of him? He had no bearing of a senior whatsoever.

In that case, Xiao Yan had no reason to treat him kindly.

Xiao Yan's words took everyone present by surprise.

They had expected him to fight back, but not for the young man to be this fierce—to go straight for the throat.

Now there was a show to watch. Many turned toward Old Monster Hou, ready to enjoy the spectacle.

Old Monster Hou's corpse-like face flushed crimson. His fingers trembled with rage as he pointed at Xiao Yan. "You... you... you brat! Where's your respect for your elders?"

Smack!

Xiao Yan slapped away the hand pointing at him and looked down at Old Monster Hou. "You old fossil. You, you, you—what about you? Apart from being old, what makes a stubborn old fool like you worthy of being called a senior..."

Old Monster Hou had never encountered anything like it. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like an ox. He wanted to retort but could not find an opening.

Off to the side, Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi felt immensely satisfied to see Old Monster Hou put in his place. They had to struggle to keep from laughing.

Cao Ying found this starkly different side of Xiao Yan fascinating. An unusual light flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Even the Great Elder's normally unruffled face showed surprise. He had never imagined Xiao Yan could change so dramatically.
