Chapter 74: The Self-Isolating Xiao Wu

Yun Leijing Ling stroked the Token in his hand, his eyes staring blankly at the spot where Xiao Han had disappeared, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

"Human, I will not need your help."

His tone was extremely firm, his expression solemn.

Even so, he still put the Token away, then walked toward the depths of the ruins with a resolute expression.

……

"Teacher, what was the situation in the ruins just now?" Xiao Wu asked with some curiosity.

At this time, the crowd had mostly left, leaving only the four of them.

Recalling the violent fluctuations that had erupted in the ruins just now, Xiao Wu could not help but feel a palpitation.

He could only say that the quality of these ruins was very sturdy; although they were tottering, they still stood tall.

"It was nothing."

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

"It's just that the Heavenly Ice I promised you is likely going to fall through."

"Teacher, you don't mean to say that the Dou Sheng powerhouse was the Heavenly Ice, do you?"

Xiao Wu's little brain finally came back online; previously, he had been immersed in the terror of seeing a Dou Sheng powerhouse and had not thought in that direction.

But now, after Xiao Han's reminder, Xiao Wu immediately reacted: the cold air radiating from that powerhouse seemed to be only a notch weaker than his teacher's.

If that creature were a transformation of such an exotic item, then there would be nothing surprising about it.

However, a sense of disappointment followed: "Are even you, Teacher, not a match for him?"

In Xiao Wu's view, this was a great opportunity! If a transformed Heavenly Ice with strength reaching the Dou Sheng level could be subdued, what kind of power would it exert!

"Smack!" Xiao Han slapped him directly.

"Ouch," Xiao Wu covered his head and said discontentedly: "Teacher, why are you hitting me again?"

"Remember, do not continue to set your sights on this person in the future. Even when you are stronger, you must not! Do you understand?"

Xiao Han's face at this moment held an indescribable solemnity, which for a moment actually stunned Xiao Wu, a junior who had been disrespectful to his elder.

"Yes." Xiao Wu's words blurted out.

Subsequently, Xiao Han turned his gaze toward the Langya Guard.

"Forget everything you saw today, do you understand?"

"Yes." x3

The three of them answered crisply and neatly.

What happened today truly shattered their worldviews; they never expected that a Heaven and Earth Exotic Item could transform into human form and possess such world-destroying power.

Although they had never heard of something like Heavenly Ice before, they figured that only an Exotic Fire in the top three of the Exotic Fire Ranking would have the ability to contend with it, right?

Sure enough, the world is vast, and there is nothing that does not exist!

He still needed to see and experience more.

……

Xiao Han was completely indifferent to the thoughts of the few. He just brought them back to the Langya Pavilion along the way.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

As soon as they landed, Yi Huang came up to meet him with a face full of worry, checking Xiao Han all over while asking questions incessantly.

Xiao Wu and the others: "Burp~"

In order to save their own lives, Xiao Wu and the others left silently.

"Don't worry!"

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

"What kind of person is your husband? How many people now have the qualifications to hurt me?"

Scorched by the hot air exhaled from Xiao Han's nose, Yi Huang blushed, patted Xiao Han lightly, and said with feigned anger:

"There are still people here!"

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

Seeing this situation, all the Disciples and Elders very tactfully performed their movement techniques and left quickly.

"Huang'er, you must have seen wrong; there isn't a single person here, is there?"

"Hmm?" Yi Huang raised her head in a daze, and seeing the empty surroundings, a few cute question marks appeared above her head.

"Where are the people?"

Subsequently, she shifted her gaze to the only living creature other than the two of them present, the Langya Pavilion's group pet—a Tier 3 Magic Beast Fengquan.

The Fengquan, which was busy gorging itself, seemed to notice Yi Huang's gaze and looked up, initially wondering why no one was coming to massage it anymore.

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

Hmm...

Time to go!

It grabbed its food bowl, channeled all its Dou Qi, and vanished instantly before the two of them.

"Look, there's no one else now, right!"

Xiao Han said to the somewhat dumbfounded Yi Huang.

"Are you being childish?" Yi Huang gave him a look of annoyance.

"It's fine, we're not busy now, let's go out for a stroll." Xiao Han laughed, not minding it at all.

However, at this moment, Xiao Wu was heartbroken by the scene before him.

Originally, he had just wanted to come to this restaurant to get some solid food to comfort his wounded, young heart.

But now, he was wounded even further...

What did he see?

Beside his Brother Ye, the recognized cold and aloof male god among the Langya Pavilion Disciples, there was actually a woman!

It was truly "shocking-mom opening the door for shock"—shocking to the core.

Especially that fleeting glance of a smile from Ye Shenghan, which made Xiao Wu wonder if he hadn't woken up yet. We clearly agreed to be dogs together, but you've really stopped acting like a human, haven't you!

No, this must be a misunderstanding!

Immediately, the full-of-doubt Xiao Wu pretended to be nonchalant and walked up to the two of them.

"Brother Ye, long time no see!" Xiao Wu said to Ye Shenghan with a face full of smiles.

"Oh, it's Xiao Wu!" Ye Shenghan finally noticed Xiao Wu's presence, his expression returning to indifference, making Xiao Wu wonder if he had misread things just now.

"Weren't you sent out by Martial Uncle to carry out a mission?"

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

"I almost died out there this time," he said, putting on an expression of deep regret, "If it weren't for your junior brother being quick-witted, Brother, you wouldn't be seeing me, Xiao Wu, anymore!"

By the end, his voice even carried a hint of a sob.

"Oh?"

Ye Shenghan was actually quite curious; Junior Brother Xiao was clearly still quite favored, and he shouldn't... have been disliked by Martial Uncle to the point of using a borrowed knife to kill him.

How then did he fall into such a dangerous situation?

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

"Forget it, let's not talk more about sad things."

Ye Shenghan: "..."

As expected, his junior brother truly inherited the true teachings of Martial Uncle; he had already mastered the essence of having a vile personality.

What should he do if he really wants to hit someone?

If it were before, Ye Shenghan might have really drawn his sword and lunged.

But...

Ye Shenghan glanced at Yin Xin, who was standing quietly by his side...

Forget it, he couldn't be too crude!

However, although Xiao Wu had inadvertently dodged a disaster, he insisted on rushing to find trouble for himself.

"Brother Ye, who is this beside you..." Xiao Wu revealed a curious expression.

"Oh, this one..." As soon as this was mentioned, Ye Shenghan perked up, and his previously expressionless face showed a slight fluctuation.

"She is Yin Xin, the personal Disciple of Tianyin Laoren, sent to Langya Pavilion for training."

"Martial Uncle asked me to look after her for a while."

"Oh..."

So that was it. Xiao Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he, Xiao Wu, had not misjudged the man; Brother Ye was still that golden bachelor!

"Then, shall we eat together?" With the threat neutralized, Xiao Wu took the initiative to suggest.

The two had no objections, however...

The good show had only just begun!
