Chapter 125 The Dog-Beating Stick (Part 9)
To be honest, given Bai Ke's looks, calling him a pretty boy wouldn't be an exaggeration. However, Bai Ke had no idea that Lin Xiu actually thought of him that way.
Ever since Lin Xiu arrived, he had been glancing at this seemingly arrogant young man, even though he was somewhat respectful in front of the sect leader Ning Fengyi...
However… Bai Ke gritted his teeth. Has no one ever told him not to stare at people so intently?
Moreover, his original self was the chief disciple of the Tian Ce Palace. How arrogant was this guy that he dared to ignore him?
Of course, Bai Ke didn't necessarily expect his junior brothers and sisters to bow to him, but because of his father's influence, it was really hard for Grandpa Bai to have any good feelings towards this kid.
Moreover, this kid clearly has no sense of propriety. With only the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, he dares to stare straight at me. Does he really think I have a good temper?
Although he couldn't openly cause trouble, Bai Ke still had his own methods. When he saw that kid brazenly probing with his spiritual sense, he immediately unleashed his dragon might, causing the kid to suffer a hidden loss.
Dragons are a relatively advanced life form, not to mention that Bai Ke inherited the soul essence left behind by a pure-blooded dragon, so the oppressive power of his dragon might is unimaginable.
The moment his dragon aura surged forth, Xu Mu's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, that's it, that involuntary trembling..."
Lin Xiu groaned. He felt as if he had been hit hard by the Mo Qilin he had encountered earlier. The fierce pressure made him unable to muster any thought of resistance.
"Bai Ke!" Xing Jian's gaze swept fiercely over Bai Ke, as if he were about to devour him.
Although it is unknown where that ancient and primordial aura came from, judging from Bai Ke's appearance, it must be related to him.
"Hehe, I'm itching to show my skills. Since Junior Brother Lin made the first move, I can't just sit idly by. Is Junior Brother Lin alright?"
Bai Ke replied to Xing Jian with a smile, and then even insincerely inquired about Lin Xiu's injuries, which made Xing Jian's eyelids twitch with anger.
Ning Fengyi glanced at Bai Ke meaningfully. The fierce and domineering aura that had just erupted from Bai Ke was something she wondered where he had gotten his good fortune from.
He had previously suspected that Bai Ke was possessed by someone else, but after examining the array left in the stone hall, it was found that there was no problem with the origin of his soul. On the contrary, it was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
The sudden burst of power he exudes now is clearly related to Bai Ke's sudden change in temperament and that fierce aura.
The Mountain and Sea Realm has existed in the world for countless millennia. Since the ancient era of cultivation, signs of dragon activity have gradually disappeared from this world.
As if it were a foresight that the changes in the Mountain and Sea Realm had been predicted, in short, dragons have long since disappeared from the Mountain and Sea Realm, leaving only a few remnants of mixed-blood dragon veins.
Unless Xu Mu's green snake spirit pet has some dragon blood, he would not associate the aura that Bai Ke exuded with the dragon race.
In the eyes of cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Dragon Clan is far too mysterious. This race seems to have disappeared along with the ancient cultivation world in the torrent of time.
Therefore, Ning Fengyi never thought that the aura that Bai Ke unleashed would have anything to do with the legendary dragon clan; she simply thought it was his own good fortune.
"What a great opportunity! The only problem is that you might not have it. With a great opportunity comes great fortune. Why would you worry about not achieving anything in the future?"
Ning Fengyi looked at Bai Ke, who stood tall in the hall, and then at Bai Yan, who was meditating with his eyes closed. Suddenly, she couldn't help but laugh.
He had no children in his life, and he was very close to Bai Yan. To be honest, Ning Fengyi treated Bai Ke like his own son. The stronger Bai Ke became, the more satisfied he was. He would never scold him.
However, Xing Jian was not happy about it. His son hadn't even gotten any advantage over Bai Ke yet, and he had already suffered a great loss.
Lin Xiu hasn't received Bai Ke's help yet, so he won't rashly attack this kid. However... once Lin Xiu breaks through, there will be plenty of ways to kill him.
Since he was in charge of Wanbaotang, he had a firm grip on the distribution of sect missions and other tasks. If he did something slightly, would he really cause trouble for Lin Xiu?
Xing Jian originally didn't want to do this. Although it was all for his son, he didn't want to end up with everyone losing.
The Ecstasy Sword Technique that was previously sent to Bai Ke could be attributed to his greed for merit and recklessness, which led to an accident, and had nothing to do with Xing Jian.
However, if someone were to tamper with the tasks issued by Wanbaotang, it wouldn't be something that could be easily dismissed with a few words.
Heaven is watching what people do. No matter how flawless you are, there will always be some clues left behind. If you really take this risky move, you will probably have to sacrifice one or two elders.
Even if Bai Yan can't find any evidence, he'll probably fight me to the death in the future. The opinion of the sect's elders is very important when choosing a sect leader.
If this stinky stone were to interfere in Lin Xiu's final struggle for the sect leader position, it would be a huge problem.
So unless there are special circumstances, Xing Jian really doesn't want to completely break ties with Bai Yan and his son.
It's a covert attack! You can only do this once, otherwise you'll eventually be exposed.
True master assassins, if they miss their first strike, will flee thousands of miles away. Why would they be foolish enough to stay in one place and fight head-on?
Xing Jian imagined Bai Ke to be like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, striking suddenly with cold, dampness. However, if Bai Ke was courting death, then he couldn't blame Xing Jian for being ruthless.
It can be said that Bai Ke's casual intimidation of Lin Xiu completely enraged Xing Jian. Once the murderous intent rose in his heart, he no longer cared about anything else.
At worst, we can bring out a few scapegoats. If it can make this kid's soul disappear, then it's all worth it.
If such a monster isn't from your own family, it's best to kill it completely, which is convenient for both yourself and others!
He chuckled and said, "Nephew Bai, whether you meant it or not, my son's spiritual consciousness is damaged. If he can't break through, then the bet can't be considered yours!"
Lin Xiu glared at Bai Ke with hatred. Bai Ke was truly hateful. He only wanted to see his background, but he actually resorted to such viciousness.
Bai Ke shrugged. "You're just asking for trouble by rushing in and getting yourself killed. Do you think you can just leave unscathed? I'm not some saintly Mary Sue who's going to take the persuasive route."
"Hmph, Xing Jian, you were the one who was clamoring for Junior Nephew Bai to open that projection room for your son, and now you're the one going back on your word. What, do you think this is your own home?"
Murong Yuanyang coldly retorted, "We have neither the time nor the inclination to watch you throw a tantrum here. If Lin Xiu is not up to the task now, then we'll send another disciple. Do you really think your son is unique?"
