"This …"
Hearing the old master's confirmation, Bai Feng was rendered speechless.
If that was the case, it did make sense.
The Young Mistress had clearly gone to cause trouble for the old master, but she had willingly played along with Zhang Xuan's act. After returning, she had learned I Am Low Profile's swordsmanship, and no one in the inner circle was a match for her!
On top of that, this' Zhang Xuan 'had even taken out a medicine that could save the old master.
It had been less than a day since he had entered the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, and yet, someone had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent and challenged the entire inner disciples.
Thinking about it, all of these pointed at the other party, so he had no choice but to admit it!
"Don't make a ruckus yet. We still need to test whether it's him or not," Elder Bai Ye said telepathically.
Elder Bai Ye paused for a moment before replying, "I'll go personally!"
"Yes, Old Master!" Bai Feng nodded.
The two of them had communicated through telepathy, so the old master was unaware of their conversation.
"You don't want to interfere?"
Seeing that the two of them had been ignoring him, the old master was so furious that he could have exploded.
"Of course we do! Let's head over to take a look first!"
Elder Bai Ye beckoned Bai Feng over, and the latter took out two core disciple Ethereal Tokens before entering the Ethereal Hall.
Just like Elder Mu and the others, the core elders disguised themselves so that no one would be able to see through their disguises.
At this moment, the venue of the dueling ring had changed to the dueling ring for the dueling ring.
The core disciples had also received news of the dueling ring, and more and more of them had gathered. There were already dozens of them, and there were also some elders who had come to observe the dueling ring discreetly.
At this moment, Bai Ruanqing was fighting against the fifth-ranked disciple, Mo Xiangyun.
Mo Xiangyun was a female disciple just like Bai Ruanqing. However, her appearance was slightly lacking, and she had a tall physique that made her look even more imposing than the average male disciple.
If one hadn't heard her name, one would have thought that she was a male.
Not only was her appearance lacking, but her moves were also similar to that of a male disciple. Her swordsmanship was bold and unrestrained, and it felt as if she was wielding an axe.
"Let's begin!"
Mo Xiangyun said as she charged forward like a tank. At the same time, the sword in her hand slashed down furiously.
Her sword was different from an ordinary person's. It was seven feet long and weighed an unknown amount. As it descended, a sonic boom rang out in the air, as if it would be torn apart at any moment.
Bai Ruanqing did not dare to face the attack head-on. She raised her sword to block the first attack before flicking her palm and sending it flying toward Zhang Xuan.
Right now, these two were her strongest moves. As for her other moves, once they reached the top five realm, she would be able to block them easily. In fact, she might even fall into a passive state because of this. Thus, she immediately used them without holding back.
"Heh, this trick is useless against me!"
Mo Xiangyun suddenly raised the long sword in her hand.
Clang!
Bai Ruanqing hurriedly retreated, gasping for breath as she tried to catch her breath.
As expected of the top five experts, each of them had their own unique skills. They weren't people that she could defeat just by learning a little.
Moreover, the other party had seen the scene of her previous battle and was prepared in advance.
Knowing that she would not be able to defeat Zhang Xuan with just two moves, Bai Ruanqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you dare to wait for me here for a moment? I'll fight you later on."
"Alright …"
Mo Xiangyun nodded.
Zhang Xuan had experienced the same thing before, so she could afford to wait for a few minutes.
Bai Ruanqing clasped her fist and bowed deeply before vanishing from the dueling ring. The next moment, she was back in her residence.
"Junior Xiaotian, hurry up and teach me two moves!"
Bai Ruanqing shouted as soon as she stepped out of her residence, but the next moment, she saw a figure standing before her.
The person who had appeared before her was none other than Zhang Xuan!
He had just successfully advanced his cultivation to Heavenly Pseudo Immortal realm, and he had successfully come out of seclusion!
"What's going on?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Why would this woman be in his residence? And why would she have Dan Xiaotian impart her swordsmanship to her?
"I used the swordsmanship that Senior Uncle imparted to me … I sparred with someone in the core disciples' Ethereal Hall …" With a reddened face, Bai Ruanqing recounted everything that had happened.
After hearing Bai Ruanqing's story, Zhang Xuan turned to look at her and asked, "Do you have a bet with me?"
"Nope …"
Bai Ruanqing shook her head in confusion.
I'm saying that I used the swordsmanship that you have imparted to me, and you're asking me if I have a bet with you?
"If you don't have a bet with me, what's there to compete with?" Zhang Xuan sighed in exasperation.
He had been thinking of finding an opportunity to enter the core disciples' Ethereal Hall so that he could make a killing, but this fellow didn't even want to make a bet with him!
How could he still have fun with him?
"…"
Bai Ruanqing's cheeks twitched upon seeing Zhang Xuan's expression.
All along, she had thought that I Am Low Profile was a true expert who viewed fame and fortune as fleeting clouds. But in the end, he was just a money-grubber!
The reason I sparred with him was to verify my swordsmanship, so why does it sound like I'm robbing him?
As the granddaughter of an elder, why would she need to rob him?
"Do you have any more Ethereal Tokens? Give me one, I'll challenge him … Speaking of which, are all the core disciples rich? "
Ignoring the other party's frustration, Zhang Xuan asked.
It would be best to clarify things in advance.
"That's right …" Bai Ruanqing clutched her forehead.
As core disciples of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, even the weakest among them was at the Pseudo Immortal realm. Their wealth was far beyond that of the inner disciples.
"That's good. Where's the Ethereal Token?"
Zhang Xuan asked as he stretched out his hand.
"The minimum requirement to enter the core disciples' Ethereal Hall is Pseudo Immortal realm primary stage. In other words, it's impossible to enter without reaching Pseudo Immortal realm!"
Bai Ruanqing hesitated for a moment before asking for the Ethereal Token.
Four hours ago, Zhang Xuan's cultivation was only at Dimension Shatterer realm pinnacle, and the minimum requirement to enter the core disciples' Ethereal Hall was Pseudo Immortal realm primary stage.
"It's fine, I have already made a breakthrough."
Zhang Xuan shook his body lightly as his aura gushed out.
"Pseudo Immortal realm?"
Bai Ruanqing nearly fainted on the spot.
Back when Feng Zhenren was at the foot of the mountain, he was also at Dimension Shatterer realm pinnacle, right? To raise his cultivation to Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle in just two hours … How in the world did he do it?
Even a pill couldn't raise his cultivation that quickly!
"The Young Master is incredible!"
Cao Chengli's eyes lit up in excitement. Dan Xiaotian also clenched his fists tightly.
He knew that the Young Master was powerful, but he didn't think that he would be this powerful!
"The Young Master's swordsmanship is incredible as well. There's no doubt that he'll be able to defeat I Am Low Profile!"
Cao Chengli exclaimed excitedly.
He had heard of how formidable I Am Low Profile was, but no matter how formidable he was, could he be more formidable than the Young Master?
To raise his cultivation from Dimension Shatterer realm pinnacle to Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle in less than a day …
Even the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion didn't have such a powerful existence!
Pah!
Barely after Cao Chengli exclaimed, he suddenly felt another stinging sensation on his face. He was slapped twice more, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at the Young Master. With a face as dark as the bottom of a wok, he bellowed, "I saw you using your right leg to enter the door earlier, breaking my rules. That's why you deserve a beating!"
"Breaking my rules with my left leg? Breaking my rules with my right leg too?"
Cao Chengli nearly burst into tears upon hearing those words.
If both his left leg and right leg could not enter the door, how in the world was he supposed to enter the Ethereal Hall?
"Let's go!"
Zhang Xuan and Bai Ruanqing returned to their room. With a tap of his finger, he infused a droplet of blood into the Ethereal Token, and his consciousness vanished from the spot. The next moment, he found himself in the Ethereal Hall of the core disciples.
"I Am Low Profile caused quite a huge commotion back then, so the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion must have looked into it. I can't use that name anymore …" Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
I Am Low Profile had challenged the entire inner disciples single-handedly and caused a huge ruckus. There was no way he could use that name again. Thus, he had to come up with a new nickname.
It won't be easy to come up with a new nickname. 'Low Profile' won't do either. It seems like I'll have to make use of my own strength …
After a long moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan finally came to a decision. I'll just call myself I Am Very Handsome. Even though it's not as low profile, it doesn't count as lying.
Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
He was the most satisfied with the name 'I Am Low Profile'. It perfectly expressed his thoughts and desires. However, the name 'I Am Very Handsome' also suited his disposition, so it was still acceptable.
When Bai Ruanqing saw that Zhang Xuan had come up with this nickname, she slapped her forehead once more.
Big Brother … Can't you be a little more humble?
Can you not be so shameless?
With an awkward look on his face, Zhang Xuan walked into the Ethereal Hall and arrived at the dueling ring.
"I'm currently sparring with Mo Xiangyun. What should I do?"
Bai Ruanqing sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan as she walked.
He had returned without learning anything at all. There was no way he would be a match for Mo Xiangyun.
"Simple. Make a bet with Mo Xiangyun, and the loser will have to give all of his Sword Pavilion Coins to you. After that, I'll give you some pointers on how to execute my swordsmanship so that you can emerge victorious!"
Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message over.
"Pointers? You want me to give you pointers during the duel? "
Bai Ruanqing's lips twitched.
It was already too late for him to offer pointers now.
Even an expert of my grandfather's caliber wouldn't dare do such a thing. Are you sure that I won't be killed by you?
It would have been fine if I were to be killed. After all, I have killed quite a few of them myself. However, if I were to lose the bet, I would become a pauper!
"That's right." Zhang Xuan nodded. "Go. You won't lose."
"… Alright then."
Bai Ruanqing had no idea whether it was right to listen to Zhang Xuan's advice or not. Thus, she could only grit her teeth and return to the dueling ring.
"Since you're back, let's continue!"
Mo Xiangyun nodded as the sword in her hand released a whimpering sound.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing the determined look in her Senior Uncle's eyes, Bai Ruanqing gritted her teeth and said, "Since it's a duel, I would like to make a bet!"
"A bet?"
Mo Xiangyun frowned.
"That's right. If I win, you have to give all of your Sword Pavilion Coins to me. If I lose, I'll give all of my Sword Pavilion Coins to you! "
Bai Ruanqing's face reddened in embarrassment.
She did not dare to disobey her Senior Uncle's words, but it was still embarrassing to say it out loud!
"You want to bet all of your money?" Mo Xiangyun widened her eyes in shock. "Are you trying to rob me?"
"Un …" Bai Ruanqing nodded. "You can say that."
…
"Has your granddaughter gone mad from the lack of money?"
The old man who had come with Elder Bai Ye turned to look at the elder who was ranked third in the entire sect.
"Ah …"
Elder Bai Ye was stunned as well.
To bet on a duel in front of so many people … Was this really the obedient and filial granddaughter he knew?
