Hundreds of elders hiding in the void revealed gratified smiles as they listened to the deafening sound coming from the foot of the mountain.
"How was it?" Xia Yi was a bit absent-minded, but he quickly recovered and smiled at the six elders.
"This child is worthy of praise!"
"I thought he was arrogant by nature, but it seems that is not the case."
"Indeed. If it were someone like Huang Hua or Zhong Huai, they would definitely look down on the world. Although they would be able to win the respect of their fellow disciples, they would not be of one mind."
"Especially when he said we should be together. Ah, this Old Man is ashamed to have ridiculed him before."
Xia Yi laughed. "I won't hide it from you. I also wanted to reprimand him at that time, but who knew he would cause Heaven's Cry to appear? That kid is really attentive, haha!"
The elders laughed. Although they had been slapped in the face by Xie Tian, they would rather see him hit Heaven's Cry every day.
After the idle chatter, Xia Yi's smile faded and he slowly said, "Of the three things Hu Lai mentioned, Zhu Qing's death aside, there are still two left. What do you all think?"
"Zhong Huai sent someone to invite Zhong Fei to deal with Hu Lai!"
"Hmph!" Xia Yi sneered. "Since that's the case, there's no need to discuss this. Let's talk about the third matter."
The six elders understood. Since Xia Yi said there was no need to discuss it, then Zhong Huai's throne was definitely going to be removed.
"As for the Fang and Zhu families, Sect Master, this matter concerns Yue Prefecture. I don't think we should act rashly."
"Indeed. Whether it is Hu Lai's sudden rise to fame or these three matters, it was all for You Xiao Chan!"
"We can use another method to help the You Family, but we can't use force like Hu Lai."
After some discussion, everyone reached an agreement. Xia Yi thought for a moment and then told them about You Xiao Chan's poisoning.
"Poisoning!"
"Every time one breaks through a major realm, ninety percent of the body's blood and Qi will disappear. What kind of strange poison is this?!"
"Could it be that You Xiao Chan's constitution is special and someone plotted against her?!"
The six elders jumped in fright. Xia Yi shook his head. "You all know how much Hu Lai values You Xiao Chan, so we must get to the bottom of this."
"Sect Master, there are no clues. How can we investigate this?!"
Xia Yi frowned and sighed, "I'll think of a way, but from now on, You Xiao Chan's safety is of utmost importance. Otherwise, I'm really worried that he might do something."
The hearts of the six great elders trembled. Isn't that right? This child is just like his name. Which thing he does doesn't belong to the word 'reckless'?
"In that case, this untalented Old Man is willing to protect You Xiao Chan." The Body Sect's Grand Elder, Yin Ding, slowly said.
Xia Yi was overjoyed. "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yin."
"Haha, if I can see Lu Xu, the Old Man can die in peace, let alone a Dao Protector!"
After another round of discussion, everyone decided on a new identity for Xie Tian.
"Ku Hai is the disciple of the Third Supreme Elder. His position as the chief successor shall not be touched. Xie Tian shall be appointed as the second successor!"
"All the resources in the sect are at his disposal!"
"Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder will protect him!"
But when Xie Tian arrived at the meeting hall and heard all this, he shook his head and refused. "This disciple only wishes to be an ordinary disciple. Please retract this order, Sect Master."
Everyone was puzzled. Yin Ding advised, "Reckless, you have to think this through. The status of a Body Sect's successor is extremely noble."
Xie Tian smiled respectfully. "In my heart, the most noble is a body cultivator."
"Fine." Yin Ding helplessly continued, "But ordinary disciples do not have the right to enter the spirit world. Fine!"
Glancing at the Mountain Breaking Order, Yin Ding immediately shut his mouth with a bitter smile.
With the Mountain Breaking Order, Xie Tian couldn't go anywhere in the vast Body Sect.
"Fortunately, the Mountain Breaking Order was withdrawn quickly. Otherwise, wouldn't we have to kneel again?"
The elders were very satisfied with Xie Tian's attentiveness. Who wouldn't like a disciple with such mysterious aptitude, excellent temperament, and respect for the old and love for the young?
Thus, the six elders spoke one after another, explaining to Xie Tian their own body-tempering experiences. Xie Tian listened attentively and benefited greatly.
But the six elders were a little afraid. Every time Xie Tian asked a question, they would have to pause and ponder for a while before they could come up with an answer. Furthermore, they wouldn't even know if it was right or wrong. How terrifying was that?
In the end, the six elders didn't dare to continue, afraid that they would mislead the disciple. Xie Tian could only bid farewell to Xia Yi and leave.
"Hah!"
Only after everyone had left did Xia Yi shake his head with a bitter smile. Then, he burst into laughter before bursting into tears. But no matter what, he couldn't express the complicated emotions in his heart.
"Patriarch, Master, there's hope for our body tempering lineage!"
"There's hope!"
When You Xiao Chan woke up and looked at the gauze curtain above her head, her heart ached.
"So it was all just a dream!"
Just as she was about to feel desolate, a warm hand grabbed her, and a gentle voice rang out.
"Then I will accompany you in your dreams."
"Reckless!"
Xie Tian smiled. "It's me."
The two of them hugged each other, enjoying a silent sweetness.
After a long time, You Xiao Chan moved her head away with a red face, but she couldn't bear to pull her hand out. She lowered her head shyly, looking incomparably beautiful.
Xie Tian's heart trembled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, You Xiao Chan suddenly exclaimed, as if remembering something. She hurriedly asked, "I almost forgot, Sect Master …"
"He was here." Xie Tian thought for a moment, then told her what had happened. He comforted her. "Zhong Huai's throne must have been abolished. Even if he recovered his cultivation base, he wouldn't be able to pose a threat to the You Family."
As intelligent as You Xiao Chan was, how could she not know that the three things Xie Tian had mentioned were all for her sake? Her eyes couldn't help but tear up. "Reckless! You're too good to Xiao Chan!"
"I'm sorry."
When Xie Tian saw this, his heart ached. When he thought of You Xiao Chan's pain after his identity was exposed, it felt like a knife was stabbing into his heart.
"You didn't do anything wrong to Xiao Chan, but Xiao Chan …"
At this point, You Xiao Chan rolled her eyes at Xie Tian. "You always like to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, acting all mysterious and causing Xiao Chan to misunderstand."
She didn't know how much danger Xie Tian was taking by wildly exposing himself. It could be said that once Xia Yi guessed that he was Xie Tian, even the Divine Emperor wouldn't be able to save him.
After all, he was Xie Tian. He came from the Jin Dynasty's death camp, and the boss of that death camp was Wu Shang.
"That's right …" You Xiao Chan suddenly thought of something, and her brows furrowed. "Then the third matter … even if Sect Master comes forward, the Fang and Zhu Families won't agree."
Xie Tian nodded. "Sect Master just said that he will do his best to resolve the grudges between the three families."
"Really?" You Xiao Chan's eyes were filled with surprise.
Xie Tian nodded with a smile.
"That's great!"
You Xiao Chan was overjoyed. She hugged Xie Tian and buried her head in Xie Tian's chest. She had finally found a chest that she could rely on.
Not only was it warm, it was also extremely majestic. It was strong enough to endure any hardship for her and support her happiness!
The matter of Xie Tian giving up his status as a legacy disciple once again caused an uproar among the ordinary disciples.
"Senior Brother Qian, please persuade Senior Brother Hu Lai!"
"That's right, he is completely worthy of being called a legacy disciple!"
Qian Qian shook his head. "What he cares about is not the status of a legacy disciple."
"Then … then what does he care about?"
"A body refiner." Qian Qian stood up and looked around. "And all of us are body refiners. Do you still not understand?"
Understood!
Everyone's eyes were brimming with tears of shame.
The ordinary disciples were proud of being a core disciple, and the core disciples were proud of being a legacy disciple. But the one they were proud of, Xie Tian, was proud of being a body refiner!
In an instant, everyone's chests opened up, and a burst of confidence burst forth from them.
"We are all body refiners!"
"We are proud of ourselves!"
Standing at the foot of the broken mountain and listening to the wolf howls, Zhong Fei was puzzled. He immediately frowned and shook his head. "The Body Sect is getting more and more outrageous!"
"Third Ancestor, that Hu Lai has a great reputation among the ordinary disciples. Maybe this is his doing again." Zhong Huai's follower quickly said.
"Hmph!"
Zhong Fei snorted and shouted, "Is Xia Yi here? Zhong Fei has come to visit!"
His shout echoed throughout the sect.
"Hmph, do you think you have nothing to fear just because you've disbanded the army?"
Xia Yi smiled faintly and stood up to look at the elders. "Everyone, follow me to welcome him!"
"Your Highness, the Third Ancestor is finally here!"
Zhong Huai's eyes widened, and they were filled with hatred. He laughed sinisterly. "Ascending to the heavens and crying, and you still want to abolish this King's throne! Hahahaha, Hu Lai, this King will personally twist your dog head off!"
"Are you afraid?"
"With you around, Xiao Chan is not afraid of anything."
"Alright."
Hand in hand, Xie Tian and Xia Yi walked out of the courtyard and saw that You Da and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Hu Lai, I had eyes but failed to see and misunderstood you!"
You Da was about to kneel, but Xie Tian pulled him back and said with a smile, "Since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to apologize."
"Y-you'll forgive us just like that?" The followers didn't really believe it.
You Xiao Chan smiled. "Don't make a fuss. Hu Lai is not that kind of person."
"Great!"
Everyone was overjoyed, and the respect in their eyes immediately turned into worship and admiration. You Da suddenly remembered why they had come and said nervously, "Miss, Hu Lai, the Sky Mist Dynasty's Third Ancestor Bell is flying over with an aggressive aura!"
"Aggressive aura!" Xie Tian smiled faintly and led You Xiao Chan to the door. "Let's go. I was just about to borrow his aggressive aura!"
