Bai Qiulian threw his chopsticks aside in a fit of pique and sat there, sulking.
Xu Liao wasn't an idiot. He quickly tried to salvage the situation. "Actually, I think white snakes are quite cute. They're different from other snakes!"
Bai Qiulian was still angry. "Our Bai family isn't white snakes!"
Xu Liao didn't know what to say. He didn't know much about the seven pure-blooded clans. He didn't know which seven clans they were, what their bloodlines were, or what monsters they were.
Bai Qiulian couldn't help but chuckle. "Our Bai family is the White Flood Dragon!"
Xu Liao suddenly remembered that Bai Qiulian mentioned that her body was huge. So, she was a flood dragon. An adult flood dragon could easily exceed a hundred meters. It wasn't rare for them to reach a few hundred meters. They were creatures born with huge bodies.
Although Xu Luo did not have a good impression of the scaled creatures, he had a good relationship with Bai Qiulian. He could only nod his head and boast about how he loved the Jiao Dragon and how lucky he was to be friends with someone from the Bai Family …
But Xu Liao could tell that Bai Qiulian was very concerned about his demon body, so he could only shut his mouth and not bring up this topic. Instead, he turned around and tried to find out how Bai Qiulian's sword training was going.
Bai Qiulian smiled. "Without geniuses like you, I've only reached the fifth sword technique. I'll probably need another four to five years to pass the Twelve Sword Trials."
If people like Ying Qiang, Ren Lingxuan, and Hu Xiuqing heard Bai Qiulian's words, they would jump up in shock. If Bai Qiulian could really pass the Twelve Sword Trials in five years, her talent in swordsmanship wouldn't lose to top-notch geniuses like Hu Xiuqing.
Xu Liao was the only one who didn't feel anything. He didn't think that this was a big deal at all. He just gave a few perfunctory compliments because of their friendship.
If it was someone else, he would've laughed and said arrogantly, "I've not only passed the Twelve Sword Trials, but I've also combined all twelve sword rays into one. I've even mastered the Cosmos Sleeve Sword. Otherwise, how could I have defeated Jie Sun today?"
Although Bai Qiulian knew that Xu Liao was faster than him in learning swordsmanship, Bai Qiulian was still eager to catch up with Xu Liao when he thought that Xu Liao had been guarding the Misty Cloud Peak for a few months and even helped him complete ten monthly tasks. He thought to himself, "I've been practicing for more than 20 hours every day these few months. Maybe I've caught up with Xu …"
Bai Qiulian couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "How many sword techniques have you learned?"
Although Xu Liao didn't want to shock the world, he didn't have to hide it from his good friend. He chuckled and paused for a moment before saying, "I've passed the Twelve Sword Trials and even learned the Cosmos Sleeve Sword."
Bai Qiulian pouted in disbelief. Although she had a high opinion of Xu Liao, she didn't expect him to reach this level.
After the shock, Bai Qiulian suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Don't tell me you've become a Heaven Dipper Warrior too? No! You haven't entered the Marrow Cleansing Pool, so you should be a Daemon King now, right? "
Xu Liao shook his head and said, "I'm still a Level Eight Demon Warrior. Becoming a Daemon King is harder than I thought!"
Bai Qiulian was even more shocked. The Twelve Sword Trials of Dongxuanxian School were set up by the founder of the school to help the disciples break through to the Heaven Dipper Realm. As long as one could combine the twelve sword rays into one sword aura, there was a 100% chance that one could break through to the Heaven Dipper Realm. There was even a 70% chance that one could break through to the Heaven Dipper Realm first before combining the twelve sword rays into one sword aura.
There were seven Heaven Dipper Warriors in the new generation of disciples, but only three could combine the twelve sword rays into one. They were First Senior Brother Bai Xianren, First Senior Sister Ying Qiang, and Hu Xiuqing, who claimed to be the best in swordsmanship.
Including Ren Lingxuan, who had just broken through not long ago, there were only four people who could do this!
Xu Liao could break through the Twelve Sword Trials and combine the twelve sword rays into one. He could even learn the Three Scriptures and Six Ultimate Arts, but he was still stuck at the Level Eight Demon Warrior level. It was unbelievable.
Bai Qiulian couldn't understand why.
There were too many special things about Xu Liao. Bai Qiulian was troubled for a while and decided not to think about it.
She calmed down and started to clean up the tableware. Xu Liao wanted to help, but seeing that Bai Qiulian was using a full set of dharma spells, he would only be a hindrance. He sighed and gave up on the idea.
He looked at Bai Qiulian's busy figure and finally asked, "Why did Jie Sun suddenly confess to you? I remember that he has an ambiguous relationship with a Senior Sister called Qi Wenying! "
Bai Qiulian said with disdain, "Jie Sun is one of the top figures in the new generation, but he's too utilitarian. He knows that I'm from the Bai Clan, so he wants to borrow the power of the Bai Clan. He used to pursue Qi Wenying because the Qi Clan is quite powerful. Even though he's been pestering me lately, he hasn't given up on Qi Wenying. This kind of man always has some skills, but people still look down on him. "
Xu Liao slammed the table and angrily shouted, "Jie Sun is such a bastard! He still dares to challenge me in the Sword Discussion Ceremony. I'll teach him a lesson when the time comes. "
Bai Qiulian jumped in fright and hurriedly shouted, "How can you be Jie Sun's opponent? Even I was shocked by what happened today. I was already prepared for my cousin to come and save the day. "
Xu Liao couldn't help but be curious and asked, "You have a cousin? Who is he? Can he beat Jie Sun? "
Bai Qiulian was also surprised and asked, "Don't you know our Dongxuanxian School's Senior Brother Bai Xianren?"
Xu Liao slapped his forehead. He just remembered that his Senior Brother Bai Xianren was also from the Bai Clan, one of the seven pure-blooded aristocratic families. Bai Qiulian was also from the Bai Clan, so they must be related. But he didn't expect them to be cousins.
Bai Qiulian was laughing so hard that she was rocking back and forth. She used her slender finger to point at Xu Lai and exclaimed, "So you didn't know that Bai Xianren is my cousin? We're both from the Bai Clan, so how can we not be related? "
Xu Liao thought about this point and felt that he was too slow. But he quickly felt that something was wrong, so he dryly laughed and asked, "Your cousin is Bai Xianren, so why would Jie Sun deliberately pester you? Why didn't the others stop him? "
Bai Qiulian's expression dimmed and she shook her head, saying, "I don't know either!"
Xu Liao's thoughts were much more complicated than Bai Qiulian's. Jie Sun purposely courting Bai Qiulian could be to suppress Bai Xianren, or it could be to rope her in. But it was more likely that Bai Xianren wanted to keep his position as Senior Brother and used his cousin to rope in Jie Sun …
"If it's the last case, then this Senior Brother is also very unreliable! Even if it's not the possibility that I think it is, it's not good for outsiders to interfere in this kind of drama where a boy pursues a girl. Apart from me, who is clearly a hothead who doesn't care about anything, it seems like I won't be able to count on external help in the future. "
Xu Liao wasn't actually afraid of fighting Jie Sun. The Universe Sleeve Sword was the strongest sword art that could challenge those at a higher level than him, but he didn't want to be stabbed in the back. He couldn't help but think about what to do next.
