Chapter 417: Clown

"Xu Yang, you looked down on me in the past. Today, I want you to understand how foolish your actions were that day."

Qiao Yong said with a cold shout, directly laying out the grievances between the two.

Ever since his innate talent was recognized, everyone he met had fawned over him and curried his favor. To him, Xu Yang—the only person who ignored him—was the same as someone telling him to his face that he was trash.

"Does Xu Yang have a grudge with Qiao Yong?"

Hearing Qiao Yong's words, everyone under the ring was greatly astonished.

"They seem to live in the same courtyard; there must be friction."

"It's not just the same courtyard; both of them are from Qingyuan County."

"People from Qingyuan County all know about their grudge. It seems Xu Yang once went to Qingyuan County to protect Qiao Yong for a few days, and then left without saying goodbye. This made the genius ranked first among the Ten Elites unable to accept that someone would disregard him like that."

……

Under the ring, someone soon recounted the grudge between Xu Yang and Qiao Yong.

"This Qiao Yong's heart is too narrow-minded."

"Not saying goodbye to him is looking down on him? Does he really think everyone has to revolve around him?"

"It's best not to associate with such a petty person."

"He protected him for days, yet he doesn't remember a shred of gratitude and even holds a grudge?"

The way everyone looked at Qiao Yong changed instantly, filled with disgust.

Having blurted out his grudge with Xu Yang in a moment of haste, Qiao Yong did not expect it to turn out like this, with everyone calling him narrow-minded.

He didn't care about the opinions of these people, but there were members of great families on the high platform. Leaving a bad impression on them could very likely turn him into the next Lu Ren.

He had heard that because of the Huang family affair, even though Lu Ren defeated Xie Zhan, the sixth of the Ten Elites, in the outer sect grand competition, no great family came to recruit him.

That wasn't the worst part; the worst part was that even though Lu Ren was now at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, no one dared to be friends with him.

"I looked down on you? I protected you personally for days; have you ever said a single 'thank you' to me? You, such an ungrateful person—if others don't fawn over you, it's looking down on you? Aren't you too conceited?

You have a bit of talent, and the whole world has to revolve around you?"

Xu Yang also added a cutting remark at this moment.

In an instant, the way everyone looked at Qiao Yong became even more disgusted. Xu Yang had gone to protect Qiao Yong, and he didn't expect that what he got in return wasn't gratitude, but Qiao Yong's resentment.

Such a person's character was even inferior to Lu Ren's.

Lu Ren, at his worst, never said a bad word about the Huang family after abandoning them.

Qiao Yong, however, not only failed to remember the kindness but also resented Xu Yang.

"This child is an ingrate!"

On the high platform, a big figure spoke up immediately, and the people around nodded in agreement.

Xu Yang went to protect Qiao Yong, and just because he didn't say goodbye when leaving, he was held in resentment. If they were to recruit such a person, as long as one thing wasn't to his liking, they feared he wouldn't become a help to the family, but an enemy. ===== CHAPTER 418 =====
