Chapter 446: Xiao Yan of the Heaven-Exploding Gang Has Returned!

~8 min read 1,475 words

Watching the crowd swarm away, Xu Que wore a face full of astonishment.

A specialized cannon-firing ground for Xiao Yan of the Heaven-Exploding Gang?

This is truly forcing Er Gouzi's hand!

Has this King of Acting Cool become so famous?

Xu Que needed only a moment of thought to realize that the so-called "specialized cannon-firing ground" clearly referred to the Divine Might Charging Cannon!

"Quick, with so many people, there must be something good; let's go see!" At this moment, Er Gouzi said, his eyes shining with intense excitement.

In its view, wherever many people fought to gather, good treasures must have appeared, filling it with great excitement.

Xu Que also wanted to see what was going on, so he stepped forward.

But the crowd was frenzied, all scrambling to buy the so-called tickets with Spirit Stones, crushed into a single heap.

"This time, we must get a ticket!"

"Rumor has it those Divine Might Charging Cannons are extremely extraordinary; even the Fire Emperor was severely injured by one!"

"Exactly! Who could have imagined that Xiao Yan and Xu Que came from the same gang? Xiao Yan refined this miraculous cannon and is hailed as the Cannon God; since Xu Que is from the same gang, he must also have some expertise in it."

"It was truly unwise for the Fire Emperor to use the Divine Might Charging Cannon against Xu Que back then, though his death was not unjustified!"

"It is said that the Divine Might Charging Cannon at the Imperial Palace has already been collected by Lady Ya; nowadays, if we wish to catch a glimpse of its true form, we can only go to the Imperial Physician Sect!"

"Hehe, if we can decipher its mysteries, we might be able to refine one ourselves!"

The crowd discussed incessantly, very excited.

Xu Que watched with a mix of laughter and tears; damn it, he had thought these were fans coming out of admiration for him, the King of Acting Cool, but it turned out they all harbored schemes to observe the Divine Might Charging Cannon and attempt to copy it!

But the key to the Divine Might Charging Cannon lay in the rune chips, perfectly embedded within the cannon body; this crowd would likely stare at it for ten or eight years without figuring anything out, so Xu Que was not worried at all about being copied.

However, he also admired Su Cloud Sect Master's insight; she had actually managed to leverage this point to develop the Divine Might Charging Cannon into a "tourist attraction," charging fees for viewing, thereby increasing the sect's income—a truly clever idea!

"Damn it, there are so many people, we can't squeeze in at all! Kid, this crowd knows your title; hurry up and shout using your name!" At this moment, seeing he couldn't break into the crowd, Er Gouzi grew anxious and shouted at Xu Que.

Xu Que wore a humble expression, shaking his head with a smile: "Better not; that would be too showy!"

Saying this, he suddenly sank his Qi to his dantian and roared with full vigor: "I, Xiao Yan of the Heaven-Exploding Gang, am the type who likes to be high-profile? One must maintain a low profile!"

This shout rang out like a great bell, shaking in all directions.

Everyone in the entire arena was startled, turning their heads to look over one after another.

Xiao Yan of the Heaven-Exploding Gang? Is it real or fake?

"Eh, young man, why is it you again?"

"Stop impersonating Xiao Yan here, will you?"

"The real Xiao Yan of the Heaven-Exploding Gang would never write the three characters 'Heaven-Exploding Gang' on his clothes!"

As soon as the crowd looked over, they immediately spoke with contempt.

But several disciples of the Imperial Physician Sect responsible for selling tickets also happened to look in this direction, and immediately froze on the spot.

Heavens, that handsome face, those eyes black as ink and sparkling with captivating brilliance—wasn't this none other than Young Hero Xiao Yan?

"It really is Young Hero Xiao Yan!" Immediately, a female disciple exclaimed in shock, her face full of excitement.

"Young Hero Xiao Yan, you have finally arrived!" Following this, the other disciples rushed over one after another.

They had all spent time with Xu Que at the Imperial Physician Sect before, so they were naturally extremely familiar with him; moreover, since they had parted only a little over a year ago, they recognized him at a single glance.

But the crowd present was completely dumbfounded.

Young Hero Xiao Yan?

Was this damn it really Young Hero Xiao Yan?

Oh heavens, Xiao Yan of the Heaven-Exploding Gang has returned!

Instantly, those who had just criticized Xu Que all felt their faces burning.

This was a bare-faced slap in the face! Just moments ago they had said his imitation was unconvincing, yet who could have expected the real person to appear?

"Holy crap, it's really you kid again!" Er Gouzi also cried out in surprise, finally understanding that "Xiao Yan of the Heaven-Exploding Gang" was indeed another alias of Xu Que.

"Low profile, low profile; don't let the whole world know." Xu Que smiled solemnly and covered Er Gouzi's dog mouth.

Since these people still did not know that he, the King of Acting Cool, was Xu Que, it was better to continue using the name Xiao Yan to act cool; otherwise, it wouldn't be fun once people knew, and the Heaven-Exploding Gang's style had to be maintained!

"Young Hero Xiao Yan, you have finally returned! For over a year we searched for you everywhere but could find no trace of your whereabouts; it was only about half a year ago that news came from the Imperial City regarding that Young Hero Xu Que from your gang, who actually suppressed and killed the Fire Emperor—truly astonishing!" At this moment, several Imperial Physician Sect disciples arrived before Xu Que, speaking with great excitement.

Xu Que also smiled slightly: "It was nothing; a minor character like the Fire Emperor is simply not worth the attention of our Heaven-Exploding Gang."

Hiss!

Instantly, everyone present drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

The Fire Emperor was actually just a minor character?

It seems the rumors were true; this Heaven-Exploding Gang is indeed extraordinary, gathering countless powerful elite heavenly prides—it must be a terrifying faction from overseas!

"Alright, let's not talk here; I plan to stay for a day or two this time before leaving. Does the Imperial Physician Sect still have any vacant Female Sect Masters... tui, no, I mean, are there any vacant rooms?" Xu Que asked with a smile, maintaining the style of a high-level expert acting cool.

"Yes, of course; the courtyard where you stayed back then, Sect Master Su has always preserved, never allowing anyone to enter," several Imperial Physician Sect disciples nodded immediately.

Subsequently, under the gaze of the crowd filled with reverence and shock, Xu Que and the others left the street and headed toward the Imperial Physician Sect.

"Is your Sect Master Su doing well?" On the way, Xu Que recalled that charmingly beautiful sect master, Su Cloud Sect Master, and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, the several Imperial Physician Sect disciples looked at each other, then sighed.

Xu Que's heart immediately skipped a beat; could something unexpected have happened?

"Speak quickly, has something happened?" Xu Que immediately darkened his face and asked.

The several Imperial Physician Sect disciples hurriedly smiled bitterly: "Young Hero Xiao Yan, it is not what you think; Sect Master Su has not encountered any mishap, it is just that for over a year now, she has been living very depressingly!"

"Ah? She got depression?" Xu Que asked in astonishment.

"Depression?" The several Imperial Physician Sect disciples looked completely confused; they had never heard of such a symptom.

One of the female disciples then gave Xu Que a lingering glance and said: "Young Hero Xiao Yan, actually, ever since you left without saying goodbye back then, Sect Master Su has been burdened with heavy thoughts every day; we all know what is troubling her, yet we are powerless to help!"

"Uh..." Xu Que immediately felt awkward; with his intelligence, how could he not understand the meaning behind those words?

Back then, he truly was unreliable, flirting with girls and then running away; he had even fired a few cannons—the cannons of the Divine Might Cannon—but he had never fired a real cannon, which truly made him unworthy of the title Cannon God!

Ashamed, so ashamed!

"Sigh, I failed to consider this thoroughly!" Xu Que couldn't help but sigh.

The female disciple of the Imperial Physician Sect continued, "Young Hero Xiao Yan need not be like this; now that you have returned, if Sect Master Su learns of it, she will surely be very happy!
