Chapter 117 - 114: Making Things Difficult
Leaving the grand hall, Ye Xuan let out a slight sigh of relief. The only thing that puzzled him was why Murong Yun had summoned him and what his intentions were. However, he wasn’t overly worried. The Flood Dragon was well-hidden inside the Beast Soul Token, and the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill had not been exposed. It seemed unlikely that the other party would take any actions against him.
"Brother Ye, you are definitely the most outstanding person in this assessment. I think Hall Master Murong highly likely wants to focus on nurturing you. He must have something good in mind when he asked to see you in three days."
Just then, Xiang Qing suddenly spoke up, interrupting Ye Xuan’s thoughts with a smile.
Although he was slightly older than Ye Xuan, the strength of the practitioner was the true measure of seniority. Ye Xuan was the strongest among the new disciples, so there was nothing inappropriate about calling him Brother Ye.
"Hehe, I hope that’s the case."
Ye Xuan nodded, not dwelling on it further—it was indeed quite possible, as the other had suggested.
"Brother Ye, to be honest, I really envy you. Having a confidante here means you definitely won’t be lonely in the Heavenly Martial Hall. Unlike us, we still need to work hard in the future to solve our singleness..."
Xiang Qing seemed to sigh as he looked at Ye Xuan, his words tinged with envy, recalling the moment during the entrance assessment when Ye Xuan had led Tang Xiaoyan through the Copper Man Formation. Everyone had seen it—it was incredibly enviable. If anyone said there was nothing between them, no one would believe it.
"We’re just ordinary friends, not what you’d call confidantes. You’re thinking too much." Ye Xuan shook his head, noncommittally.
"Oh? Really? Given Miss Tang’s beauty, she’s bound to be very popular here in the Heavenly Martial Hall. Brother Ye, could you really stand by and not care? Aren’t you worried that someone might woo her away?" Xiang Qing was somewhat incredulous.
