141: Chapter 141: Enemies Meet

Xiao Yuan's expression remained unchanged, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing.

He understood in his heart that it was normal for these people to be jealous.

Yun Qingwan had never taken any Disciples over the years. Yet this time she went out, she not only accepted Xiao Yuan, but also Su Li and Luo Ziyan.

Su Li was at Peak Foundation Establishment, and Luo Ziyan was at Mid Foundation Establishment. No one could complain about her taking them as Disciples—they had the strength!

But what about him, Xiao Yuan?

A trash with Five Elements mixed Spiritual Roots, with a cultivation of only Qi Condensation 9th Layer—what right did he have?

The middle-aged female Cultivator behind the counter raised her head, glanced at him, and handed over a form expressionlessly.

"Fill out the form and pay a registration fee of one Spirit Stone. Once you pass the First-Order Alchemist assessment, you will be officially registered."

Xiao Yuan took the form. Just as he finished filling it out and handed it over, a sardonically mocking voice suddenly came from behind him: "Yo, isn't this Elder Yun's prized Disciple? Here to take the Alchemist exam? Just with your..."

Xiao Yuan's brows furrowed as he turned around.

Two people were walking toward him.

The one on the left had a sinister smirk, none other than an old acquaintance—Chen Yin.

The one on the right appeared to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a gloomy face, arrogant eyes, and a cultivation at Late Foundation Establishment Stage!

The look he cast toward Xiao Yuan held undisguised disdain, along with a faint hint of jealousy and intent to kill.

When Chen Yin saw Xiao Yuan, jealousy and malice instantly flashed in his eyes. He leaned into the man's ear, pointed at Xiao Yuan, and said, "Senior Brother Sun Yue, this kid is Xiao Yuan!"

Xiao Yuan's heart jolted.

Sun Yue!

Su Li's mortal enemy! That bastard who caused her younger sister's death and persecuted her in every possible way!

A surge of killing intent instantly welled up inside Xiao Yuan, almost impossible to suppress.

But he quickly calmed down.

This was the Alchemy Hall, right under everyone's watchful eyes. It was completely inappropriate to make a move. The Sect's rules were not just for show!

However, as long as he found an opportunity, he wouldn't mind slaughtering the guy!

At this moment, Sun Yue walked up to Xiao Yuan, sizing him up with a mocking gaze full of scorn and contempt.

"You're Xiao Yuan?" He sneered, his voice filled with jealousy. "What was Elder Yun thinking, taking a piece of trash like you as a Disciple? Isn't she afraid of ruining her own reputation?"

Before Xiao Yuan could speak, Chen Yin hurriedly added, "Senior Brother Sun is right, it's him. I don't know what kind of shit luck he stumbled into to actually take Elder Yun as his Master."

He still remembered what happened in front of the Secret Realm, and his mind was set on finding an opportunity to deal with Xiao Yuan.

Never expecting to run into Xiao Yuan here, he naturally wouldn't miss this chance. Even if he couldn't move against Xiao Yuan openly, he would make sure Xiao Yuan had a miserable time.

Xiao Yuan looked at Chen Yin, a touch of mockery curving at the corner of his lips.

This guy blocking him while being alongside Sun Yue was nothing more than wanting to use Sun Yue's hand to cause trouble for him.

If he guessed correctly, these two idiots wanted to provoke him with words, hoping he wouldn't be able to endure the humiliation and would strike at them.

That way, they would have a justification to attack him!

They probably thought Xiao Yuan was an easy target at Qi Condensation 9th Layer, and the moment Xiao Yuan made a move, the two would not hesitate for a second to cripple him.

Although Xiao Yuan truly wanted to strike, if he hit first, he would lose the moral high ground.

The Sect's rules were not just decorative!

Even though his Master was now Yun Qingwan, she might not necessarily be able to protect him.

As for the two of them, both had grandfathers who were Golden Core powerhouses behind them. In particular, Sun Yue's grandfather was at Mid Golden Core Peak, the same realm as Yun Qingwan, which made them even more brazen!

However, while they thought that way, wasn't he thinking the exact same thing? They wanted to see whose tongue was sharper? Then let's see...

He would see who would lose their patience first. The moment these two idiots attacked him first, Xiao Yuan would cripple them without hesitation!

Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth curved up into a playful smirk.

Seeing that smile made Chen Yin feel inexplicably uneasy inside.

"What are you laughing at?" He frowned, a surge of anger rising in his heart.

He really hadn't expected that this Qi Condensation 9th Layer trash, when facing their insults, wouldn't show fear or apprehension, nor would he even get angry.

Xiao Yuan's calm and unbothered expression stung him deeply, making him feel as though he was the one being humiliated!

Seeing him like this, the mockery on Xiao Yuan's face deepened.

Competing with him to see who could provoke the other?! Then let's see who's better at it. The sarcasm and banter in his voice grew a bit stronger.

"I was wondering if you two dumbasses ran all the way to the Alchemy Hall first thing in the morning just to corner your daddy and say these few lines?"

Saying this, the playfulness in his voice grew stronger.

"What, are you so bored that your nuts are aching, or is your skin so thick that you want your daddy to loosen it for you?"

As soon as Xiao Yuan uttered those words, everyone present froze. The crowd stared at Xiao Yuan in shock, unable to regain their composure for a long while.

They had thought this would be a one-sided humiliation and crushing. With Xiao Yuan's Qi Condensation 9th Layer cultivation, facing two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he certainly wouldn't dare to resist.

Ultimately, he would only be humiliated beyond recognition by the two. Some had even thought that if Xiao Yuan had any backbone, he might resist, only to end up crippled by them.

But who could have expected that not only did Xiao Yuan talk back, but his words were insanely provocative! He called them dumbasses as soon as he opened his mouth and even claimed to be their daddy!

This kid was way too damn brave!

Especially those last two lines—it was practically implying the two were spineless eunuchs.

At this thought, someone in the surrounding crowd suddenly burst out laughing. Infection set in, and the onlookers around them were instantly doubled over with laughter.

Someone even muttered softly under their breath.

"'Bored so your nuts are aching'... Haha... I'm dying of laughter!"

Meanwhile, Chen Yin and Sun Yue were also stunned, staring at Xiao Yuan in total astonishment. In all their calculations, they had never expected that Xiao Yuan wouldn't retaliate physically, but verbally instead!

Moreover, the verbal counterattack left them completely disgraced, suffering a massive embarrassment!

As the crowd's laughter erupted, they snapped back to their senses! Wild fury instantly flooded their faces, and spiritual energy surged from Chen Yin and Sun Yue as if they were ready to strike at any second.

Seeing this, a chill curved on Xiao Yuan's lips, and killing intent flashed through his eyes.

He was waiting for them to make a move. As long as they dared to strike, he would use thunderous means to instantly cripple them.

A Late Foundation Establishment and an Early Foundation Establishment were nothing more than ants before him!

However, after their spiritual energy surged, despite veins bulging on their faces from rage, neither dared to move, merely standing there breathing heavily.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuan frowned and couldn't help feeling a surge of contempt inside. What useless trash.

Two pieces of work like this actually had the face to bully others?! They didn't even have the courage to make a move—he had really overestimated them.

Still, their restraint only hardened Xiao Yuan's resolve to kill them. Those with deep scheming minds should be eliminated! Especially deep-scheming enemies.

A glimmer of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and his voice turned teasing again: "What's wrong, my two sons? Are you... really spineless?!"

Saying this, the mockery in his voice deepened further.

"Right, you're so bored your nuts ache, so of course you're spineless... Since you're spineless, get out of the way and stop interfering with your father's business!"

As he reached the end, Xiao Yuan's voice turned a few degrees colder.

His words were like heavy slaps landed squarely on Chen Yin and Sun Yue's faces, nearly swelling them up completely.
