475: Chapter 475 Speaking Up for Justice
[Your heart stirred—as expected, this woman was not simple.]
[Afterward, you chatted for a while longer.]
[The more you talked, the more you realized that Fairy Xi He before you was not simple.]
[Furthermore, you actually could not see through her strength.]
[There were two possibilities for this—either her strength was not lower than yours, or she was using some special secret technique for concealment.]
[After sitting for a while longer, you and the two siblings of the Yu family took your leave.]
[After you disappeared, the madam appeared from nowhere, walked to Fairy Xi He's side, and bowed slightly:]
["Young Miss, why are you so concerned about these three?"]
[Fairy Xi He smiled:]
["These three are interesting!"]
[She paused:]
["Especially this one named Qin; even I can't see through his strength."]
[The madam was stunned for a moment:]
["Yo... Young Miss, how is that possible? Even you can't see through him? Then isn't he...?"]
[She hesitated for a moment and lowered her voice:]
["Should we report this to the Sect?"]
[Fairy Xi He waved her hand:]
["No need. If he really entered after making a great dao oath, he poses no threat to the Sect. Just pull him into the Lu family."]
["This old servant understands!" The madam nodded.]
[After a short pause, she asked again:]
["What about the other two, Young Miss? Have you discerned their origins?"]
[Fairy Xi He looked at the teacup in her hand:]
["Their cultivation is also concealed by a secret technique. As for where they come from..."]
[She looked up:]
["They're from the Elf Race."]
[The madam's expression changed slightly:]
["The Elf Race? Aren't they..."]
[Fairy Xi He interrupted her:]
["Keep this matter to yourself. Also, give word to the deacon in charge of recruitment for this area next year to let these three pass."]
[The madam bowed:]
["Yes!"]
[Having finished, she withdrew.]
[The pavilion fell silent.]
[Fairy Xi He sat there, her Face devoid of any expression.]
[Then her figure gradually faded, finally dissipating completely as if she had never appeared.]
[On the other side.]
[You returned to the Tianxing Tower and entered your respective rooms.]
[After pushing open the door, a person was sitting in the living room—the man from the Fairy Maiden Tower who had recited the doggerel.]
[You had long known he was waiting in the room. With an expressionless Face, you walked to the side and sat down:]
["Looking for me?"]
[The man didn't stand on ceremony and spoke directly:]
["Little brother, did you go to the Fairy Maiden Tower with the same idea as me?"]
["What idea?"]
["I'll be blunt. For the Immortal Sect assessment, bring me along. Once it's done, I will reward you handsomely."]
[You looked at him without responding.]
[He waited for two seconds, and seeing that you didn't speak, he added:]
["You definitely have a way in."]
[You smiled slightly:]
["What makes you think I can enter the Immortal Sect?"]
[The man leaned forward:]
["I've made inquiries. This city district is managed by the Lu family, and the Fairy Maiden Tower is a property of the Lu family. You went there just to have the courtesan help you connect with the Lu family, didn't you?"]
[You nodded:]
["So you bought a poem, wanting to get to know the courtesan and then seek refuge with the Lu family?"]
["Correct."]
[You looked at him and suddenly asked:]
["What is your name?"]
[The man straightened his back:]
["Chen Biao."]
[You were stunned for a moment.]
[Chen Biao?]
[You stared at the scar on his Face, and a thought flashed through your mind—over seventy years later, on the Heavenly Palace mining star, a miner named Chen Biao was smashed against a wall by your punch.]
[You guessed right.]
[It was him.]
[The same Chen Biao who was beaten by you on the mining star over seventy years later.]
[Only this time, because you appeared at the Fairy Maiden Tower, he didn't follow that old path.]
[He was a Loose Cultivator.]
[He came to Wuji Immortal City to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation and to be able to move upward in the future.]
[He spent a lot of effort inquiring about the backgrounds of the forces in the city and finally set his sights on the Fairy Maiden Tower—the Lu family's property.]
[The Lu family was part of the high-level management of the Wuji Immortal Sect and managed this city district.]
[If he wanted to establish this connection, he had to find someone to introduce him.]
[But the people of the Lu family did not live in the Immortal City, and he couldn't find a way—the family members of the dozens of high-level officials of the Wuji Immortal Sect did not live in this Immortal City.]
[As for where they lived, no one knew.]
[The only way was to come to the Fairy Maiden Tower, get to know the courtesan, and have her help pass along a word.]
[So he bought that poem, intending to make an appearance during the ranking competition.]
[The original result was—he lost the ranking competition to Ximen Huan and was even mocked by him.]
[If you hadn't appeared—after being humiliated by Ximen Huan, he would have killed Ximen Huan in a fit of rage and then fled.]
[That escape lasted for decades.]
[Because he lacked Cultivation resources, he robbed a merchant guild on the remote Star Continent.]
[Unluckily, that merchant guild was a property of the Heavenly Palace.]
[Even more unluckily, after the robbery, he went into seclusion to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, and the aura of the Breakthrough attracted the people of the Heavenly Palace.]
[He was then captured and thrown onto a mining star to become a miner.]
[This time, he sat here, eagerly waiting for you to lead him into the Sect.]
[Looking at him, you suddenly felt like laughing.]
["Alright, I'll try my best."]
[Chen Biao immediately stood up and looked at you with an excited Face:]
["Brother, how generous!"]
[After saying that, he thanked you repeatedly.]
[Unable to stand his enthusiasm, you directly started ushering him out.]
[He wasn't annoyed and left excitedly.]
[The Rising Sun.]
[In the hall of the Tianxing Tower, a few tables of guests were sitting sparsely.]
[A group of people suddenly surged in through the door, led by a Young Master in fine clothing—Ximen Huan.]
[He stood in the center of the hall, looked up, and shouted toward the upper floor:]
["You named Qin! Get out here!"]
[His voice was quite loud, and the guests at several tables turned to look.]
["Don't hide, or don't blame this Young Master for being impolite."]
[Upstairs, you pushed open your room door, walked to the railing, and glanced down.]
[It was Ximen Huan, and behind him followed two middle-aged men with expressionless Faces.]
[You walked down the stairs and stood before him, your gaze calm:]
["You want to cause trouble here?"]
[Ximen Huan stared at you, his lip twitching slightly:]
["You named Qin, you made me lose Face yesterday. How are we going to settle this?"]
[Just as he finished speaking, a coarse voice came from the entrance:]
["You brat, you dare to bully my little brother? Do you want to die?"]
[Everyone turned their heads.]
[Chen Biao strode in, his Face full of rough flesh, the scar especially prominent in the morning light.]
[He walked up to you, stood there like a pillar, blocking you behind him, and turned his head to whisper:]
["Don't be afraid, little brother. With me here, he won't dare touch you."]
[You smiled and said nothing.]
[You roughly guessed why the previous Chen Biao hadn't managed to get into the Wuji Immortal Sect.]
[Ximen Huan was stunned when he saw Chen Biao:]
["You? Why are you with him?"]
[Chen Biao crossed his arms and raised his chin:]
["Because I want to. Is it any of your business?"]
[As his words landed—]
[Boom!]
[A Late Nascent Soul Stage pressure erupted from his body.]
[The air in the entire hall seemed to be squeezed tightly.]
[The Faces of several guests with low cultivation turned pale, and the chopsticks in their hands dropped.]
