Being interrupted while speaking was a sign of impoliteness. In Silvershadow's eyes, Xia Fei was just a shrimp that had fallen into the desert, and he could be killed with a pinch of his finger. He had no interest in speaking politeness to such a person.
Even the most good-tempered person would find it hard to tolerate the other party's arrogance and contempt, not to mention that Xia Fei's temper had never been good.
Xia Fei smiled and softly said to Silvershadow, If you want to know, you'd better quietly listen to what I have to say.
Scolding someone without cursing was a kind of realm, and similarly, this kind of silent counterattack was also a kind of realm. The meaning of Xia Fei's words was very simple. "You, shut up."
Silvershadow was immediately enraged, his face turning red. He bent his left index finger into a hook and lightly flicked it at Xia Fei.
* Whoosh! *
A wind blade that could not be seen with the naked eye suddenly appeared. It turned out that his special ability was wind control, which allowed him to use air to attack!
It was less than five meters away, and it reached Xia Fei in an instant!
Xia Fei only felt a gust of cold wind coming at him, and he hurriedly dodged to the side.
That was when Phantom's master, Moonshadow, frowned. With a light wave of his sleeve, the wind blade suddenly disappeared when it was less than two meters away from Xia Fei, its whereabouts unknown.
Silvershadow glared at Moonshadow. "Third brother, what are you trying to do?"
Moonshadow chuckled at him and said with a cheeky smile, "Big brother, you should at least let people finish talking. Second brother's disciple is dead, too, and he isn't even worried, so why bother? Besides, we still haven't figured out where Breath Control and Crafty Thrust came from."
Xia Fei could vaguely sense that Moonshadow and Silvershadow did not seem to get along, their words full of sarcasm and innuendo. Being sandwiched between the two, Darkshadow was also in a difficult position, so he could only try to dissuade them from harming the harmony between them, acting like a peacemaker.
"My master is a rare spatial ability user. Just now, my master sent the wind blade to an alternate dimension. The two of them have been at odds since they were young, and even the patriarch couldn't do anything to them when he was alive. However, my master is still the oldest among his peers, so there are many things that my master can't compete with him," Phantom said in a deep voice.
Phantom had very complicated feelings regarding the infighting within his sect. No matter what, Xia Fei was still an outsider, and it was only because he had bumped into him today that Phantom had no choice but to tell Xia Fei the truth.
The atmosphere turned awkward for a moment. Silvershadow glared at | Yue Yin, while | Yue Yin put on a nonchalant expression as he glanced over at Xia Fei.
At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the door. Darkshadow, Moonshadow, and Silvershadow hurriedly stood up and went to the door to wait respectfully, their attitudes extremely humble.
This is our great ancestor. He's the oldest elder in the sect. What are you waiting for, Xia Fei? Hurry up and stand up to greet the old man, Phantom hurriedly said. Xia Fei was stunned for a moment.
From what Phantoms said, the visitor was a very senior, and Xia Fei did not have to be pretentious to greet a senior. Hence, he got up from his chair and looked out the door.
An old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion walked in cheerfully. He had a ruddy complexion and a short stature. Apart from his silver hair, he looked like a teenager no matter how you looked at him. Even the wrinkles on his forehead were few and far between.
If not for Phantom's warning, Xia Fei would have thought that he was a teenager in disguise.
"I heard that you've found an outsider who also knows Crafty Thrust and Breath Control. Where is he?" the short old man hurriedly asked as soon as he entered the door. His steps were light, and he did not look old at all.
"Great ancestor, you're here." Silvershadow and the other two hurriedly bowed.
The old man waved his hand, indicating that Silvershadow and the others did not need to go through so much trouble. He then took a few steps to the seat of honor in the side hall and sat down. His actions were very swift.
"This is great ancestor Craneshadow. Not even he knows how old he is. Even my master's master's master has to call him sect uncle. His cultivation is unfathomable, and even my master can't last more than three rounds against him," Phantom said in a deep voice.
The seniority in the Assassin Sect was very strange. Aside from Craneshadow, Moonshadow and the other two had the highest seniority, but they were still three generations apart from Craneshadow, who was the most senior. As a sign of respect, Craneshadow stayed on the thirteenth floor alone, while Darkshadow and the others skipped the eleventh and twelfth floors and stayed on the tenth and above.
For some reason, the old ancestor of the sect had been alerted today, and he had come to question him personally.
Xia Fei smiled and walked up. He bowed and said, "Old man, I'm Xia Fei. I'm the person you were asking about earlier."
Craneshadow nodded and asked directly, "You're not from my sect, so why do you know Crafty Thrust and Breath Control?"
Xia Fei said, "These two techniques were passed down from my ancestors. As for why your sect knows these techniques, I have no idea."
Xia Fei insisted that these techniques were passed down from his ancestors. Since he had no proof, Xia Fei was not afraid of them investigating. He did not mention the fact that he had stolen it. After all, it would not end well for him if he angered these people.
"How dare you! Crafty Thrust and Breath Control are the ultimate techniques of the Assassin Sect. Since when did they become passed down from your ancestors? "Silvershadow said angrily.
Craneshadow waved his hand. "We'll talk about this later. First, tell me how my disciples died."
Xia Fei could no longer hide anything in front of these people, so he told them everything he had seen and heard in the cave. As for why he had ended up in the Assassin's trial grounds, Xia Fei said that he enjoyed adventuring in the stars and had inadvertently discovered a strange flying insect. He had followed it all the way into the red stardust, and by the time he had emerged from the stardust, the flying insect had already disappeared, and he had ended up there in a daze.
The four of them were furious. After all, adultery, adultery, and the murder of their sect's uncles was outrageous, and it was the biggest scandal in the history of the Assassin Sect.
"There were others around, and I was afraid that I would embarrass your sect if I said something so filthy, so I kept it to myself," Xia Fei added.
Craneshadow nodded. "Young man, it's rare for you to think about your sect at such a young age. Is your technique really passed down from your ancestors?"
Craneshadow was the old ancestor of the Assassin Sect, after all. He immediately asked about the technique the moment he sensed that something was not right, and he did not mention anything about the sect's scandal at all.
"That's right," Xia Fei said seriously.
"Why don't you demonstrate it?"
Xia Fei immediately demonstrated the two techniques in the middle of the hall. Xia Fei had been practicing Crafty Thrust and Breath Control for a long time, so he was very familiar with them. Craneshadow secretly shook his head. Judging from Xia Fei's age, it seemed that he had been practicing these two techniques since he was young, or else he would not have been able to master them so well.
Craneshadow thought for a moment and said, "Who are your ancestors? How did they get these two techniques? "
Xia Fei sighed, a sorrowful look on his face as he said, "I grew up without parents, growing up with my grandfather. He passed away when I was seven, so I wandered the world and grew up alone, so how would I know anything about my ancestors?"
"My grandfather taught me these two techniques when I was young. According to him, they were passed down from generation to generation, so I had to practice them diligently and not be lazy. I never dared to forget what my grandfather taught me, and I've been practicing them until today," Xia Fei said in grief.
"This …" Craneshadow pondered for a moment, not knowing what to say. He had no idea which lousy wuxia novel Xia Fei came up with this story, and with his decent acting skills, Craneshadow actually believed him.
His sect's techniques had become Xia Fei's ancestral technique in the blink of an eye. Even Craneshadow, who had lived for hundreds of years, was troubled by this.
