Chapter 108: The Excited Trio

Let us turn the clock back two months.

Ye Shenghan, Xiao Wu, and Yin Xin were all summoned before Yi Huang, and all three were filled with confusion.

Especially Yin Xin; it was one thing for Ye Shenghan and Xiao Wu, as both were disciples of Langya Pavilion. But she was a person from Sound Valley, and although she spent her days with Ye Shenghan, her actions were actually quite free, and Langya Pavilion generally would not trouble her with matters.

"Mistress, is there something you need us for?" In the end, it was Xiao Wu, who had a closer relationship with Yi Huang, who spoke up to ask.

Yi Huang smiled and said, "Nothing major, I just want you to go out and gain some experience, to let you see what true young prodigies are like."

Oh?

The three of them, Xiao Wu and the others, exchanged glances, and all saw curiosity in each other's eyes. This was interesting; she was actually telling them to go see true geniuses.

Let us look at the identities and strength of these three.

Ye Shenghan, whose father is the Great Elder of Langya Pavilion, Ye Jianxin, a powerhouse who just broke through to the Saint Realm a while ago. He himself is twenty-seven years old, yet his strength has reached the Six-Star Dou Zun level.

Yin Xin, the personal disciple of the Sound Valley Master, Tianyin Laoren, is no more than thirty years old, and her strength has already reached the Seven-Star Dou Zun level.

Even Xiao Wu, whose strength on paper is slightly inferior, also broke through to Dou Zun not long ago, is only in his early twenties, and his teacher is the famous Ice Saint.

Their level is far stronger than those so-called geniuses in first-rate factions who are still stuck at the Dou Zong realm in their twenties or thirties. Their daily training is benchmarked against the Dou Zun Elders of Langya Pavilion.

Could there actually be some big shots they don't know about?

At this moment, it was the usually more lively Xiao Wu who reacted first. He said in surprise, "Mistress, you aren't talking about those guys from the Ancient Race, are you?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Ye Shenghan and Yin Xin both revealed expressions of sudden realization. The existence of the Ancient Race was not a secret to those at their level, and they had heard of those monsters who possessed the Dou Di Bloodline.

Due to the existence of the Dou Di Bloodline, the cultivation speed of people from the Ancient Race is astonishingly fast, and their own strength might not necessarily be enough to dominate the crowd there.

However, constantly bullying the weak is not a way of life, and they were quite interested in these things.

Feeling the expectant gazes of the three, Yi Huang smiled slightly and praised, "Xiao Wu, no wonder your teacher always says you are a smart child."

This was clearly a disguised affirmation, and Xiao Wu said even more excitedly, "Mistress, which Ancient Race is it?"

There are gaps between the Ancient Races, especially for Xiao Wu, who knows a bit of the inside story. For some of the poorer ones, the strongest among them could even be beaten up by his own teacher.

Xiao Wu did not think the geniuses coming out of those races would be that strong!

"The Ancient Clan," Yi Huang said with a smile.

"Hiss—"

Xiao Wu immediately gasped, and even the usually cold-tempered Ye Shenghan and the emotionally reserved Yin Xin revealed expressions of surprise.

This is one of the best among the Ancient Races; only the extremely mysterious Soul Clan could contend with the Ancient Clan.

Just as they were immersed in the shock of the news, Yi Huang flicked her finger, and Ye Shenghan quickly grabbed a black Jade Slip in his hand.

This is...?

Ye Shenghan looked toward Yi Huang.

Sensing the other's confusion, Yi Huang explained, "This is an invitation to the Ancient Clan's Coming of Age Ceremony, which many major factions in the Central Plains will receive. There, you can see the cream of the crop of the Ancient Clan's younger generation.

If you are lucky, you might even be able to see members of other Ancient Races!"

The end of her voice was full of temptation, causing the gazes of the three to be immersed in this simple and profound Jade Slip.

"How about it? This time, you three children go on behalf of us old folks!" Yi Huang seemed to be asking for the opinion of the three little ones, while incidentally rubbing her somewhat sore shoulders.

Such matters require people whose status and strength are both suitable. Xiao Han is not here, and she and Ye Jianxin are too lazy to go.

These three little ones, who are their successors and have decent strength, are naturally the suitable tools.

But Ye Shenghan and the others would not think so; they were simple and just thought that their elders wanted them to broaden their horizons, and each of them was quite excited.

And so...

"Eh, Mistress, that is not right." Xiao Wu jumped out, "Mistress is so young and beautiful; walking outside with Senior Sister Yin, you would be taken for sisters. How can you call yourself old?"

That handsome face was covered in a flattering smile. He even gave Yin Xin a wink, and the latter immediately understood, nodding at once, her cute little face filled with seriousness.

Even Ye Shenghan, who was a poker face, spat out two words: "That's right!"

"Oh my, you three are so sweet-tongued!" Although she said that, Yi Huang's smile could not be suppressed.

Very good, these children are sensible!

"Alright, there is still one month left, you arrange it yourselves. The location is all in here." Yi Huang's eyes were smiling as she gestured to the Jade Slip.

She instructed Ye Shenghan, "Shenghan, you have always been steady; take good care of your Junior Sister, you know? She is a little girl, it is not safe to be out and about."

She playfully winked at the big boy whose face was a bit flushed.

"Mm!" Ye Shenghan nodded repeatedly, and even glanced at Yin Xin, who was shyly lowering her head.

"Eh?" Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Mistress, what about me?"

"You?" Yi Huang rolled her eyes, "You are as clever as a monkey, do you still need Shenghan to tell you?"

"Hum—"

Xiao Wu's background suddenly turned gray and white; there is no love in this world!

However, he immediately sorted out his mood and said with a face full of anticipation, "Mistress, how many Langya Guards can we take this time?"

Xiao Wu had always been very greedy for the experts of the Langya Guard; was there finally another chance this time?

Hearing this, Ye Shenghan and the other also became interested; after all, with more powerhouses, they would have more confidence!

But...

"Langya Guard?" Yi Huang laughed, "Xiao Wu, you are already a Dou Zun, do you still need the Langya Guard to protect you?

Besides, you are in the Central Plains now; with the three of you second-generation heirs together, which faction would dare to make a move against you!"

Uh...

The three were instantly speechless; this was the plain truth.

Although it seems like they have many Dou Zuns in Langya Pavilion, there are actually not many Dou Zun powerhouses in the entire Central Plains.

This is also the reason why Xiao Wu and the others are too lazy to go out when there is nothing major; most powerhouses at this realm are buried in hard cultivation, so where would they find the leisure to go strolling on the streets!

They can't even find a few people outside who can exchange a few moves with them; it's better to practice with the Elders in the Pavilion.

With just their lineup of three, they have the ability to support a relatively weak first-rate sect; if there isn't a Nine-Star Dou Zun, no one could take them down.

And forces with experts of this level mostly have some understanding of their identities.

With two top-tier forces backing them up, as long as they themselves don't go around looking for trouble, why would those people be bored enough to make a move against them?

"Alright!" Xiao Wu lowered his head and said with some disappointment.

Yi Huang patted Xiao Wu's head, "Alright, that group of young people from the Ancient Clan won't let you all down, rest assured!"

After offering the three of them a few words of encouragement, Yi Huang let them leave.
