Chapter 129 – Sikong Duo

Seeing Yun Che’s expression suddenly relax, and seemingly with a bit of a snicker, Feng Yue almost didn’t burst out laughing, “Sure! Of course I’m sure, it’s you, do you have the guts to agree? I heard that your xuan power is the tenth level of the xuan realm, tsk, it’s really quite good, dang the tenth level of the xuan realm if you don’t even dare to take this, then you’d better obediently get out of here, don’t disgrace yourself here again.”

In the distance, in an ancient pavilion, the purple-robed Qin Wuyou sat quietly on a stone bench, leisurely sipping his tea. His attention had been focused on Yun Che’s side, and even though he was separated by a great distance, he had watched and listened to what was happening on Yun Che’s side. Upon hearing Feng Yue’s seemingly arrogant “Three Strokes Contract” with Yun Che, Qin Wuyou’s face immediately changed as he stood up and said, “Sikong, immediately go and stop Yun Che, don’t let him agree to Feng Yue’s words. What that Feng Yue is best at, you should know very well.”

“Yes, Instructor Qin.” A young man beside Qin Wuyou who appeared to be in his early to mid-twenties nodded in response and quickly walked towards the direction where Yun Che was.

Yun Xiaofan’s serious injury caused many gazes to pay attention to this side. Those young Xuan practitioners who were waiting to be assessed were all astonished …… Yun Che’s Xuan power was at the tenth level of the Entry Xuan Realm, while Feng Yue’s Xuan power was at the third level of the True Xuan Realm, and although not only was it three levels higher than Yun Che, there was also a gap in the realm, but to hard receive the other party’s three moves and not move themselves was just a little bit too much to ask for. Not to mention the tenth level of the Xuan Realm, even if it was the seventh level of the Xuan Realm’s full strength three strikes, although it wasn’t enough to injure him, it wasn’t enough to repel him, right?

The Xuanfu disciples who had come to watch the fun had revealed gloating expressions, and seeing that Yun Che clearly looked like he was about to agree, their hearts had begun to feel pity.

If it was any other True Xuan Realm Level 3 Xuanist, it really was basically impossible to remain motionless under three full-force attacks from an Entry Xuan Realm Level 10, but Feng Yue was different, he could do it with complete and unparalleled ease.

Just as Yun Che was about to open his mouth to speak, a heavy, ear-shattering voice suddenly came from the rear: ”Feng Yue, I’ve long heard that you’re sinister and despicable, but I really haven’t wronged you at all! To actually use such a despicable trick to victimize a disciple who is about to enter the house, simply disgracing the face of the Cang Feng Xuan Fu.”

These words caused Feng Yue’s face to change, he was just about to burst into a rage, and at the sight of the young man who had passed through the crowd and appeared in front of him, his face suddenly changed, and the words he was about to say were obediently swallowed back, his face was suffocating red, but he dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.

As soon as this man appeared, a short period of silence appeared in the surroundings, followed by large swaths of murmurs and exclamations from the crowd, and a gaze became incomparably fiery.

“Look at his armband, that’s …… that’s the mark of an Inner Mansion disciple! My god, a disciple of the Inner Mansion!” A disciple who had just passed the examination said with a face full of admiration and yearning.

“It’s Senior Brother Sikong Duo, the thirty-ninth on the Tianxuan Ranking! Holy shit, it’s really him! These senior brothers and sisters from the Inner Mansion are usually in the Inner Mansion and it’s rare to see them at all, and he’s actually here.”

“I’ve heard that Sikong Du’s Xuan power has already reached the tenth level of the True Xuan Realm! In less than a year’s time, he will be able to break through to the Spirit Xuan Realm. If I can reach his current realm by the time I’m thirty, I’ll be able to laugh in my dreams.”

“But why did Senior Brother Sikong come here? He even scolded this Feng Yue, could it be that he has a grudge against Feng Yue? I haven’t heard of it. Besides, although Feng Yue often bullies disciples from the outer mansion, even if he is bold, he wouldn’t dare to mess with disciples from the inner mansion.”

Cangfeng Xuanfu had more than 50,000 disciples, and there were only one hundred disciples from the inner mansion, so it could be imagined that these one hundred people were a group of what kind of geniuses, and it would not be too much to call them absolute demons. And this only one hundred people of the inner house is also the most intense competition, they have reached the highest level in this Cangfeng Xuanfu, their pursuit and goal, also focused on the Tianxuan Ranking, they desperately cultivate, to improve their own ranking in the Tianxuan Ranking. As for the Outer Mansion and the Middle Mansion, they simply didn’t care to go there, so the disciples of the Outer Mansion and the Middle Mansion usually found it difficult to see the disciples of the Inner Mansion at all.

Regarding the surrounding comments and stares, Sikong Du was calm, apparently having long been accustomed to it, as he sized up Yun Che from close range, revealing a kind gaze, ”Your name is Yun Che, isn’t it? Don’t agree to whatever three-move contract he proposed! This Feng Yue came from the Western Desert’s Thick Earth Villa, and the Thick Earth Villa’s family Xuan Gong focused on defense! Although his Xuan power is only at the third level of the True Xuan Realm, if he goes all out on defense, not to mention you, even if it’s a Xuan at the same level, it would be difficult for three moves to cause him to back up even a single point! If you agree, you will have completely fallen into the trap he has set.”

The moment Sikong Du’s words came out, the surrounding people were suddenly in a daze, and then anger arose in their hearts, and their eyes were filled with contempt and disgust as they looked at Feng Yue. Relying on one’s own strengths, to issue such a “three strokes contract” to a disciple who was in the middle of the House Entrance Examination, was simply despicable, plus shady to the extreme.

Yun Che nodded and gave a grateful smile to Sikong Du, saying: ”I see. Thank you, Big Brother Sikong for reminding …… Dare to ask, is Big Brother Sikong’s father Elder Sikong Han of the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion?”

This Sikong Duo, as a disciple of the Inner Mansion, would not come to meddle in this kind of idle matter, much less come to help him, a person who had not yet entered the Mansion, without any reason, and the fact that this Sikong Duo expressed his goodwill to him as soon as he came up, coupled with the family name of “Sikong,” caused Yun Che to think of a possibility right away. Because that person had told him that his son was in the Cangfeng Xuan Mansion.

Sikong Du froze, then nodded with a smile, “That’s right, Sikong Han is precisely my father. Instructor Qin said that you have a very meticulous mind, haha, I really didn’t praise you for nothing.”

Yun Che instantly became completely clear in his heart, if Sikong Du was Sikong Han’s son, and Qin Wuyou had told Sikong Du about his own identity, it was very well explained that Sikong Du would do this. It was no wonder that when Sikong Han mentioned his son, his face would be filled with pride, because his son was actually a disciple of the Cangfeng Xuanfu’s mighty Inner Mansion!

Sikong Han bowed to Instructor Qi and said, ”Instructor Qi, this Feng Yue took the opportunity of assisting in the examination to maliciously and seriously injure the disciple undergoing the examination, and also set such a sinister trap for the disciple undergoing the examination, it is simply unforgivable. Disciple believes that Feng Yue is no longer qualified to stay here at all, he should be told to get lost immediately and a heavy punishment should be meted out. As for the examination, disciple is willing to take over.”

“This ……” Elder Qi had a difficult look on his face. The words of an Inner Mansion disciple, and one who was in the top fifty of the Tianxuan Ranking, he wouldn’t dare to forcefully rebuff it even though he was an Outer Mansion Tutor. However, the reason why Tutor Qi had chosen to let Feng Yue become the one to assist in the examination was precisely because this Feng Yue was one of the few favored disciples that he had personally supervised when he was in the Outer Mansion, and later on, when Feng Yue had entered the Middle Mansion, it had also brought glory to his face. Feng Yue to him has also been respectful, secretly, but also uninterruptedly sent to a variety of precious gifts, he is certainly satisfied with this disciple favorite tight.

This is also the reason why Feng Yue dared to be reckless in front of Elder Qi.

If he did what Sikong Du said, Feng Yue would lose all his face, and his reputation for maliciously harming and victimizing disciples would be confirmed, which would be extremely unfavorable to his future Xuanfu career. At that moment, tutor Qi said with a straight face: ”Feng Yue did go a bit overboard, but it is difficult to control the strength under a sparring session, Feng Yue and Yun Xiaofan fought for the first time, misjudging the opponent’s Xuan power, thus striking out too much is also excusable, and is by no means intentional, as he simply has no reason to seriously injure an examination disciple he doesn’t know. As for the ‘three strokes contract’ that he proposed, it is also a voluntary agreement between the two parties, Feng Yue does not have the slightest intention to force, if you have the confidence, you can agree, if you feel that it is not right, do not agree to it, I think that there is no harm in it.”

Elder Qi’s words caused Feng Yue’s expression to instantly loosen up, and he also hurriedly said with a smile on his face, “Tutor Qi is right. Senior Brother Sikong, every word of Instructor Qi’s words is true, even if I had the greatest guts in the world, I would definitely not dare to do something that would intentionally harm my future senior brother. As for injuring Yun Xiaofan, I was completely unintentional. Later on, I will present a small Heaven Recovery Pill with both hands as an apology. Ergo, if Senior Brother Sikong is interested in assessing the disciples’ battle prowess, I will of course gladly back down. It would be a great fortune for the future disciples to allow them to personally experience Senior Brother Sikong’s demeanor.”

Tutor Qi’s words were clearly favoritism, yet they were said in a way that didn’t leak any water, and Feng Yue’s appearance of being softened also made it so that Sikong Duo had a fire that he couldn’t let out, after all, even though he was an Inner House disciple, he wouldn’t be willing to offend an Outer House tutor.

At this time, however, he heard Yun Che suddenly say, ”Tutor Qi is right, Feng Yue’s ‘three strokes contract’ is indeed to be voluntary for both parties, and although it is more or less a bit despicable and shameless, since Feng Yue brought it up, of course I have to take it next. Otherwise, if I don’t take it, when I enter the Xuan Palace in the future, won’t I be laughed at by many as a shrunken head turtle?”

The moment Yun Che’s words came out, it immediately caused everyone to freeze.

Sikong Du frowned fiercely and said, “Yun Che, did you not listen to what I said just now? The Xuan Force Defense built by their family Xuan Gong is simply not something you can shake! With him standing there, let alone giving you three moves, even if it was thirty moves, you wouldn’t be able to make him take half a step backwards! Take back what you said just now, not accepting this ‘three move contract’ that is bound to be lost is not a shame for you at all, and no one will say that you are a shrinking violet. You would only be truly foolish if you were to accept it!”

Out of Sikong Du’s expectation, Yun Che however shook his head, “Thank you for Big Brother Sikong’s reminder, however, I’ve always been confident in my Xuan Power as well, this three move contract, I won’t necessarily lose, if I win by chance, this Senior Brother Feng Yue will have to walk upside down in front of me in the future, just thinking about it alone is a pleasant thing ah.”

“You …… why are you so foolishly stubborn and conceited!” Sikong Du’s face hardened, and the gaze he looked towards became disconcerted and disappointed, “You are simply not aware of how strong of a defense Feng Yue’s Xuan Gong has, that is definitely going to be far beyond your imagination! You won’t have any chance of winning at all! You only want to win to see him make a fool of himself, haven’t you ever thought that if you lose, you’ll have to get out of the Cangfeng Xuan Mansion forever?”

Yun Che’s stubbornness and conceit caused Sikong Du’s voice to take on an angry tone, but as his words came down, Yun Che continued to smile lightly with an unconcerned look on his face, “Big Brother Sikong, it’s fine for you to watch from the side. I am determined to view what this senior brother looks like walking backwards.”

“You!” Sikong Du shook his hand in exasperation, “Forget it! I’ve said what I need to say, what you should choose is your business! I hope you won’t regret it too much when the time comes!”

After saying that, he stood to the side in a negative manner, but didn’t leave, instead frowning as he thought about how he should help Yun Che to close the deal after he lost …… He was a person who knew how to repay his kindnesses, Yun Che’s grandfather, Xiao Lie, had saved his life back then, and he wouldn’t watch the grandson of his benefactor be victimized by this.

Yun Che had already stood in front of Feng Yue’s body and faintly smiled, “Are you ready? I’m about to strike.”

“Hahahahahahaha ……,” Feng Yue had already laughed so loudly over there that he was about to explode his lungs. A great person like Sikong Du had specially stepped forward to relieve Yun Che, but he himself insisted on coming back up to make a fool of himself. He had seen fools, but he had never seen such a fool.
