408: Goodbye Tang Xueqin

This bizarre phenomenon made Lin Ye immediately activate his Insight Eyes.

Sure enough.

The statue was alive!

"Saint Lin? Didn't I just introduce him to you? This is the first Master of our Xuanyang Academy, he..."

"I know."

Wang Beiwang watched Lin Ye staring intently at the statue, thinking Lin Ye hadn't heard his introduction clearly, and was about to repeat it when Lin Ye waved his hand to stop him.

A hint of profound meaning appeared in Lin Ye's eyes, and he then followed Wang Beiwang toward the main courtyard.

The passing Academy Disciples all turned their gazes toward Lin Ye's group.

The Tianjiao Grand Meeting was about to begin, and recently, many Prodigies from the outside world had come to the Academy to visit.

Of course, not just anyone had the qualifications; only if a Master of the Academy said they could enter were they allowed in.

Therefore, those who arrived at the Academy early to visit were either peerless Prodigies or had extremely deep backgrounds, but regardless of which, they were already eye-catching enough.

"That person... is the former Genius of the Xiao Family, right?"

"Hahahaha, he once wanted to compete with Senior Brother Xiao Ming, but what happened? In the end, he's still just trash."

"Where is Senior Brother Xiao Ming now? Go notify him quickly; his trash brother has arrived."

"Don't you know? Senior Brother Xiao Ming and Senior Sister Tang are discussing the Dao in the main courtyard. It seems all the Sequence Disciples have gone. I wonder if the Saint will go too?"

"..."

The Disciples whispered, and their words were mostly filled with disdain for Xiao Tian.

Xiao Xiaoxiao's temper flared, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to stand up for Xiao Tian, but was ultimately stopped by Xiao Tian's gaze.

Xiao Tian had long been accustomed to everyone's discussion; in the past, he would have been angry, but now, he had let it go.

Lin Ye naturally noticed Xiao Tian's expression, but he didn't say anything.

"Oh, right."

Wang Beiwang led Lin Ye and the others forward, seemingly having thought of something, and said softly: "Saint Lin, today is the discussion of the Dao among our Xuanyang Academy's Sequence Disciples. Are you interested in going to take a look?"

Hearing the words 'Sequence Disciple,' Xiao Tian's eyes looked a bit off, as Xiao Ming, the one who had harmed him the most, was a Sequence Disciple.

Hearing this, Lin Ye nodded: "Being able to witness the discussion of the Dao by the Prodigies of Xuanyang Academy is naturally excellent."

"Very well, please follow me, everyone."

Wang Beiwang smiled slightly, then led Lin Ye and the others in another direction.

Not long after, they arrived in front of a huge building. This building was different from the others; as a place for discussing the Dao, it naturally required a large space, and the Materials also had to be sturdy.

The group walked to the front gate. The passing Disciples all bowed to Wang Beiwang, and Wang Beiwang patiently returned the bows one by one.

Boom, boom, boom...

The moment they stepped into this Lun Dao Hall, they heard a deafening roar.

When they walked in, they saw many sparring platforms placed everywhere. On the platform in the very center, two youths were sparring.

The scholar robes on the two of them were completely different from those of the other Disciples. The idiot who went to the Xiao Family before was wearing this style of scholar robe. Clearly, these people were all Sequence Disciples.

Lin Ye watched the battle between the two on the platform carefully.

The fighting style of the Xuanyang Academy Disciples was extremely similar to that of the Academy Disciples in the Nine Heavens and Ten Domains.

Based on the Confucian Dao, driving the momentum of the world, every gesture carried Upright Qi. However, compared to the Upright Qi on Lin Ye, the Upright Qi of the two Disciples on the stage was pitifully scarce.

When Xiao Tian saw one of the people on the stage, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes began to tremble. Clearly, one of the people on the stage was Xiao Ming.

Boom!!!

With another loud noise, Xiao Ming held a chess piece, set up a chess formation, and directly blasted the other Disciple in front of him away. In this battle, he was the victor.

The Disciple steadied himself and landed on the platform, saying to Xiao Ming: "Senior Brother Xiao, thank you for your instruction!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ming had a faint smile on his face and said humbly: "Junior Brother Lu, no need to be so polite. You and I are just sparring; if it were a real life-and-death struggle, I fear you would be above me."

There were quite a few Disciples in this Lun Dao Hall, and upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, everyone's faces showed expressions of admiration. Only Xiao Tian and Xiao Xiaoxiao had expressions of disdain.

They knew Xiao Ming too well! This was nothing more than his disguise.

After Xiao Ming exchanged a few more pleasantries with that person, he walked off the platform and headed toward a woman.

The woman wore a blue flowing cloud dress that accentuated her perfect figure. She was wearing a phoenix-style bun, with a delicate, jade-inlaid silver hairpin stuck diagonally in her hair.

Her snow-white skin added a touch of ethereal temperament, and her beautiful face carried a coldness. Anyone who saw her would have to call her a Fairy.

Looking at that familiar face, the corners of Lin Ye's mouth curled up slightly. Wasn't this Tang Xueqin, who had broken off her engagement with him at the Lin Family?

Looking at Xiao Tian on the side again.

It seemed like his experience was a bit similar to Xiao Tian's. Lin Ye was once a Genius in a small city, and then lost all his cultivation; Xiao Tian was the same.

Lin Ye had his engagement broken by someone surnamed Tang, and so did Xiao Tian. Lin Ye had a cheap older brother named Lin Ming, and so did Xiao Tian. Thinking of this, Lin Ye's expression became strange.

The two of us, Xiao Tian and I, were played by the two sisters surnamed Tang?!

And that Xiao Ming...

A trace of killing intent appeared in Lin Ye's eyes.

The person involved, Xiao Ming, walked up to Tang Xueqin at this moment and smiled: "Junior Sister Xueqin, did you understand the chess formation just now?"

Hearing this, Tang Xueqin's brows knitted slightly: "Senior Brother Xiao, I have said it many times, call me Junior Sister Tang. We shouldn't be that familiar, right?"

Such heartless words would definitely be extremely awkward if directed at an ordinary person.

But Xiao Ming only paused for a moment, and still said softly: "Yes, Junior Sister Tang is right. It was I who was rash. I just feel that your Dao path and mine are extremely similar, and I have a natural sense of closeness to you. Please don't take offense, Junior Sister Tang."

Tang Xueqin gave a hum and then said no more.

Her attitude made Xiao Ming's little fan girls look very unhappy.

"What is she being arrogant about?! Senior Brother Xiao clearly has the possibility of defeating the Saint, and for such a person to be willing to lower himself to be close to her, and she's still unhappy."

"Hehe... Someone from the Tang Family who popped out of nowhere, lucky enough to become a Sequence Disciple, being so ungrateful here. Does she really think she's invincible?"

"Alright, let's keep our voices down. If she hears us, what if she complains to Senior Brother Xiao?"

Although they said to keep their voices down, it seemed these people had no intention of doing so, and those unbearable words naturally reached Tang Xueqin's ears.
