48: How can a toad sitting in a well and looking at the sky know how vast the universe is?

"I originally didn't want to interfere with your personal matters, but your words are truly disagreeable."

As Murong Fu and the others looked over upon hearing his words, Xiao Chen first took a sip of tea, his tone somewhat mocking as he spoke.

"If you're saying that the Murong Family's current status is unworthy of you, this Young Master, then there might be some truth to that."

"But if you're saying... this Miss Murong is unworthy of you, then I can't agree with that."

Saying this, Xiao Chen put down the teacup in his hand and continued speaking with a teasing tone.

"Because in my opinion, the one who is unworthy... should be you!"

After these words fell, the hall immediately fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at Xiao Chen, and even Murong Qingxue looked up, clearly shocked by his words.

One person was handsome and refined, with talent far exceeding ordinary people, and was also the Young Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect.

The other, although the City Lord's daughter, looked neither human nor ghost.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance who was unworthy of the other between Nalan Shijie and Murong Qingxue.

But Xiao Chen said that Nalan Shijie was unworthy of Murong Qingxue, which was simply speaking nonsense with his eyes wide open.

"Hahahaha, you actually said that this Young Master is unworthy of this woman?!"

After hearing Xiao Chen's bizarre statement, Nalan Shijie was stunned for a moment, then laughed in anger at Xiao Chen.

"This is a problem that anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance, yet you are here distorting the truth. Could it be that you are naturally fond of this kind of anomaly?!"

Hearing Nalan Shijie's harsh and sarcastic words, Murong Fu's fists clenched tightly once again, almost losing control and wanting to go up and slap Nalan Shijie.

However, he was somewhat curious as to why Xiao Chen would say that, so after taking a deep breath, he forcefully held back.

After all, Xiao Chen had claimed to have full confidence in being able to cure Murong Bo.

Could it be that the other party had seen some clue regarding Murong Qingxue's symptoms?!

"You don't need to know my preferences, you just need to know... I am merely stating a fact."

Hearing Nalan Shijie's sarcasm, Xiao Chen did not get angry, but merely said with a faint smile.

"Let's put it this way..."

"A pearl covered in dust, even if most people in the world cannot see its brilliance, it is still an existence that the world can only admire from afar."

"And a golden-inlaid piece of feces, no matter how glamorous it looks on the outside, is still a repulsive waste product."

Xiao Chen didn't say it directly, but merely used a metaphor.

But as long as the people present weren't fools, they knew who he was referring to as the dust-covered pearl and who was the foul-smelling feces inlaid with gold.

"You dare to insult this Young Master?!"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Shijie's face turned livid with anger. He was about to step forward and give Xiao Chen a big slap to wake him up, but as he took a step, he saw Cai Yan staring at him.

After his momentum weakened slightly, he immediately snorted coldly and said.

"This Young Master broke through to the Spiritual Aperture First Realm at the tender age of eighteen, which can be said to be the most top-tier genius within the Great Qian Dynasty."

"What right do you have to dare to mock this Young Master?!"

After speaking, Nalan Shijie immediately unleashed his cultivation aura, staring at Xiao Chen with imposing momentum.

Although he didn't dare to directly harm Xiao Chen due to Cai Yan's presence, he absolutely could not lose in terms of momentum.

With his impressive cultivation achievements, it was enough to successfully strike at the other party's Dao heart!

"Eighteen years old, cultivated to the Spiritual Aperture First Realm, and you can already look down on the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"Then I, who am not yet eighteen, have already reached the Spiritual Aperture Seventh Realm, can I look down on the Eastern Wasteland?!"

Seeing Nalan Shijie like a rabid dog in heat, eager to show off his strength.

Xiao Chen sneered and stood up at this moment, his cultivation aura also erupting with a roar.

That powerful aura of the Spiritual Aperture Seventh Realm instantly shattered Nalan Shijie's momentum.

This caused Nalan Shijie's pupils to shrink violently, and everyone present was deeply shocked.

"No, impossible!"

"How can someone who is not yet eighteen years old cultivate to the Spiritual Aperture Seventh Realm?!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Feeling the aura from Xiao Chen that could crush him, Nalan Shijie shouted with a look of disbelief.

He possessed Heaven Rank mid-grade martial arts talent, and was the most top-tier prodigy within the Barren State. How could there be someone more monstrous than him?!

"A toad in a well, how can it know the vastness of the world?"

"So don't use your limited understanding to directly deny the significance of others' existence."

Looking at Nalan Shijie's defeated appearance, Xiao Chen retracted his aura with a look of disdain.

"In your opinion, Miss Murong is an anomaly, neither human nor ghost, but how can you know that beneath this seemingly ugly exterior, there is a hidden face of stunning beauty capable of captivating a nation?!"

"Furthermore, regardless of her true appearance, just in terms of martial arts talent, she can make you look up to her in vain!"

Boom!!

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Murong Fu and Murong Bo, among others, felt a roaring explosion in their minds.

They looked at Xiao Chen with disbelief in their eyes, as if they had also realized something, their bodies trembling uncontrollably at this moment.

"Young Master Xiao, could it be... you have seen through my daughter's illness?!"

After this trembling question was asked, Murong Qingxue, who was outside the hall, stood up and looked at Xiao Chen with trembling eyes as well.

Over the years.

The world had considered her an anomaly, a monster neither human nor ghost, and she herself believed the same.

But she never expected that today.

At the moment when she was struck by the cancellation of the engagement and her heart was filled with thoughts of death, there would be a stranger.

Who stood up and said she was a pearl covered in dust!

That beneath this seemingly ugly exterior, there was a hidden face capable of captivating a nation.

And that her body, which often suffered from illness, even possessed talent that could look down on ordinary people?!

"Indeed."

Xiao Chen nodded upon hearing this, and spoke with a calm expression.

"Miss Murong's symptoms are due to a congenital deficiency, and her physique is too strong, causing the original Yin energy within her body to lose control, which is why she has become like this."

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Murong has undergone eight molts, and often experiences loss of control during the full moon."

"Furthermore, she frequently experiences agonizing pain in her dantian, and each episode is so painful that she wishes she were dead!"

These words.

Nalan Shijie and the Grey-robed Old Man listened in confusion, but Murong Fu and Murong Bo, the father and son, trembled even more violently.

Even Murong Qingxue herself was filled with disbelief.

Everything was correct!

The hair on Murong Qingxue's body would indeed shed on its own and then grow back again, and this had happened eight times.

Even Dan Wang Gu Qinghe couldn't see these things!

He never expected that Xiao Chen, merely sitting in the hall and glancing at Murong Qingxue outside, could describe all the symptoms correctly.

Could it be that this Young Master Xiao was a descendant of a certain Medical Saint?!

"Since Young Master Xiao... has seen through my daughter's symptoms, I wonder if Young Master Xiao... has a way to treat her?"

With his heart filled with shock, Murong Fu rushed to Xiao Chen's side in one stride, asking this question with a trembling voice.

"It's still the same words from before..."

"Miss Murong's symptoms might feel like something that is impossible to deal with for ordinary people, but for me, it's just a small matter."

"But the premise is, the conditions I propose, your Murong Family..."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly upon hearing this, speaking in a somewhat nonchalant manner.

And before he could finish his sentence.

After Murong Fu's pupils constricted violently, he plopped down directly onto the ground and knelt.
