Chapter 87: Guan Family Brothers (87)
"Do you know how I got this scar on my face?"
Xuan Zhi’s voice was soft as he spoke these words, but his tone was laden with an unmistakable trace of venomous resentment, suggesting that this scar, which might follow him for life, would gnaw at him like a venomous snake.
Upon hearing Xuan Zhi’s words, Guan Hu was first taken aback, then a look of extreme anger surfaced on his face, and he said, "Which son of a bitch hurt the Third Prince? Tell Guan Hu, and I will dismember him into a thousand pieces!"
"Heh, your courage is commendable, but what if I told you that the one who injured me is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Jade Pot Sect?" Xuan Zhi stared at Guan Hu with a smile that was not a smile, and following this statement, Guan Hu’s face suddenly turned pale.
In the Outer Sect of the Jade Pot Sect, Guan Hu was considered one of the best among hundreds of disciples, but even now, he still couldn’t meet the threshold of becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.
Having been in the Outer Sect of the Jade Pot Sect for three years, how could Guan Hu not know that these so-called Inner Sect geniuses were simply incomparable to the Outer Disciples?
Even his elder brother, who was currently in seclusion attempting to break through to the Meridian Rushing Realm, didn’t dare to provoke an Inner Sect Disciple – those truly were the most brilliant geniuses of the Xuanyue Empire.
"Alright, it wasn’t an Inner Sect Disciple of the Jade Pot Sect who injured me!"
Seeing the expression on Guan Hu’s face, Xuan Zhi’s mood seemed to lighten a bit, which allowed the former to let out a sigh of relief. Xuan Zhi continued, "It was a kid named Yun Xiao, at the peak of the Meridian Introduction Realm. What do you think, can you avenge this grievance for your master?"
As Xuan Zhi mentioned the name "Yun Xiao," the mood that had just gotten slightly better immediately soured again, and even Guan Hu could sense from his tone an extreme sense of suppressed grimness.
