49: Work is work, life is life

At the same time, it was also a warning to Xu Xi to watch his behavior, giving him no face at all.

The Law Enforcement Peak disciples are terrifying!

"Good, good, good!"

"You're quite gutsy, I've noted that. You'd better not let me know you step half a step out of the Xuanjian Sect, or I'll break your legs!"

Seeing that his personal pressure had no effect, and with the Drunken Sleep Sword disarmed by the Law Enforcement Peak, Xu Xi found it difficult to directly apprehend the other party on the spot.

The incident had caused quite a stir, and there were many onlookers. The conversation between Xu Xi and Ye Yuchen also led to considerable commotion.

If Xu Xi had truly stabbed Ye Yuchen to death with a sword, he would then face arrest by the Law Enforcement Peak.

Although Xu Jiayin and Xia Junling would both vouch for him, Zhuge Zhengwo, that old stubborn man, would absolutely not care.

In Zhuge Zhengwo's eyes, sect rules outweighed everything.

What's more, Zhuge Zhengwo had long disliked Xu Jiayin and Xu Xi, the father and son.

He was just looking for an opportunity to eliminate them. If he really caught them, Xu Xi would certainly not have a good outcome.

At that time, he might even have to waste that precious Revitalization Pill and engage in a life-or-death struggle with the other party.

At this stage, Xu Xi did not want to escalate things to that point, as it would be unfavorable for both Xu Xi personally and the entire Xuanjian Sect.

Of course, Xu Xi not acting now does not mean he will let Ye Yuchen off the hook.

Xu Xi was currently waiting for the cooldown. Once night fell, Xu Xi would let Ye Yuchen know the price of making threats.

A dark and windy night for murder, an eternal truth.

Dressed in a night suit, who could possibly assert that the person who killed Ye Yuchen was he, Xu Xi?

Without direct evidence, even if Zhuge Zhengwo harbored great suspicion towards Xu Xi, it would only be suspicion.

With Xia Junling and Xu Jiayin watching, as long as Zhuge Zhengwo did not catch Xu Xi in the act, Xu Xi would be 100% confident in ignoring Zhuge Zhengwo's threats.

"You two are very good. Take these two bottles of pills; they will be of great help to your cultivation."

"If you encounter difficulties, you can come to Elder Peak to find me."

Ignoring Ye Yuchen's verbal provocation, he shifted his gaze to the other two women.

Their looks were decent, especially Ling Yuerong, with those long legs that would make any leg fetishist ecstatic; they could play with those legs for a lifetime.

Even Xu Xi would secretly harbor the extra thoughts everyone has.

After all, the system's mission objective was work, but Xu Xi's own hobby was life!

Regarding Ling Yuerong and Huang Wanqing's statements, Xu Xi was unsure of their motivations.

However, since they spoke up for Xu Xi, Xu Xi should reward them accordingly, no matter what.

He took out two bottles of pills, handed them to the two women, said a few simple words, and then Xu Xi waved his hand and left the area, quietly waiting for nightfall.

"Senior Brother Xu Xi, remember to copy the Sect's Great Outline three times and send it to Law Enforcement Peak. Don't make things difficult for us!"

Watching Xu Xi leave, the Law Enforcement Peak disciples, who had been completely ignored, stood awkwardly to the side.

Although Xu Xi's status was unusual, and these disciples of lower standing couldn't pursue the matter too much, the Law Enforcement Peak's code of conduct still allowed these people to speak boldly, reminding Xu Xi not to forget the consequences of his actions today.

"Heh!"

"Indeed, just a spineless shrimp."

"Taking over the Spirit Stone Mine must have been with the help of Senior Sister Ye."

"I truly despise people like you who borrow another's prestige. One day, you'll be exposed!"

"Senior Brother Xu Xi, don't be too arrogant."

"Flipping a boat in a gutter would make people laugh their heads off!"

Seeing Xu Xi leave, Ye Yuchen became invigorated.

At least, at present, no matter how one looked at it, he, Ye Yuchen, had the upper hand.

Winner takes all, and Ye Yuchen naturally had the capital to speak disrespectfully.

One provocative remark after another reached Xu Xi's ears. Ye Yuchen fully embodied the 'disregard for life and fight if you're not convinced' attitude.

It's just... he wondered what Ye Yuchen would think when Xu Xi's Drunken Sleep Sword slashed across his neck.

"Ye Yuchen!"

"Senior Brother Xu Xi just doesn't want an insignificant clown like you to violate sect rules and cause a huge commotion."

"Do you really think you're someone important?"

"Someone of your caliber, you'd better pay attention to your own behavior."

"Otherwise, if you die too quickly, don't blame me for not warning you."

Taking the pills Xu Xi had given them, Ling Yuerong and Huang Wanqing were overjoyed.

Normally, to obtain these two bottles of pills, they would have to spend a month's worth of hard-earned sect points.

Today, they received such a reward just for defending him a few times—a huge profit!

And after this, their responses to Ye Yuchen's words became even more intense.

"Senior Brother Xu Xi's reputation will be protected by the two of us!"

"Pah!"

"Are you two just fawning over him?"

"It's just two bottles of pills; do you really think Xu Xi would fancy you?"

Once Xu Xi left, Ye Yuchen's spiritual victory could no longer be provoked by any other words.

As long as Xu Xi hadn't directly humiliated Ye Yuchen from this side, for this period of time, Ye Yuchen could at least fearlessly face anyone's provocations.

This was called the Great Spiritual Victory Method!

At the same time, he continued to retort and launch personal attacks. After finishing his words, Ye Yuchen immediately left, not daring to linger.

Because... the Law Enforcement Peak disciples were watching him.

Having caused such a commotion, if Ye Yuchen ran too slowly, the Law Enforcement Peak disciples wouldn't mind using him to boost their performance.

"Interesting..."

"As far as I know, Ye Yuchen actively left Ye Xueqing's team. It seems something extraordinary happened between them."

With the troublemakers having both left for home, the onlookers naturally dispersed.

However, those slightly regretful glances seemed to lament that the conflict hadn't escalated further, leading the Law Enforcement Peak disciples to take both of them away on the spot.

The trauma caused by Ye Liufeng's death was too great, and these disciples inevitably felt a sense of sorrow. Even with some influence from this trial, most disciples had not yet fully escaped from that fear.

Perhaps only with the emergence of more and more farces would these disciples' hearts gradually become numb, no longer focusing on the incident of Ye Liufeng's death.

However, as he left, a man of ordinary appearance, dressed entirely in black, had a different perspective.

Although this person was in the Crowned Scholar realm, he was one of the ten direct disciples of the sect. Even as the last-ranked, it was enough to show that his methods were extraordinary.

Zhao Changge, who adhered to the principle of 'lying low,' did not get carried away by Xia Junling's command, facing the treasures and the opportunity for the Juefeng Secret Realm.

Because Zhao Changge was clear about his own strength. With the top ten direct disciples vying for 5 spots, he, someone who hadn't even reached Spirit Opening, had no need to fight desperately. Simply surviving was already quite good.
