Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 272 - 260 The Dragon Cauldron Rang

The hint of disappointment that flickered in Ye Xin’s eyes was precisely captured by Murong Hao.

A faint smile crept onto the corners of Murong Hao’s mouth.

This was the outcome he had desired.

He didn’t believe that the relationship between Ye Xin and Qin Qing was as simple as a brief encounter by chance—otherwise, why would Qin Qing have followed Ye Xin all the way to Heavenly Lake Palace?

But regardless of what the past relationship between Ye Xin and Qin Qing had been, Murong Hao had no desire to see them maintain any contact now.

When Ye Tianming brought Ye Xin before Murong Hao, Murong Hao wasn’t very satisfied at first glance.

Ye Xin still looked too tender, like a young chick that hadn’t yet matured.

Murong Hao preferred mature women, those with figures sufficiently eye-catching, able to instantly arouse his passion.

On the other hand, Murong Hao was also an extremely fickle libertine.

Since the opportunity had presented itself so easily, how could he not take it?

So, regardless of the prior relationship between Ye Xin and Qin Qing, he hoped the two would no longer have any contact in the future.

This feeling of snatching love with a heavy hand gave Murong Hao an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

Even if Murong Hao never took Qin Qing seriously, deeming him incapable of competing for a woman with him, it still inflated his sense of superiority and satisfaction.

"Alright. Xin’er..." Ye Tianming said with a light smile, "Now that you’re here, try to observe this Transmission Cliff. If you can discern the mysteries within and cause a Dragon Cauldron Resonance, then you will surely be taken in as a disciple by an elder of Heavenly Lake Palace and you will rise to prominence overnight."

Although Ye Tianming held the title of Law Enforcement Elder, strictly speaking, he wasn’t really an elder.

The Law Enforcement Elder was just that, an enforcer, and still a step away from being an elder.

"Okay, Uncle!"

Ye Xin nodded, then lifted her delicate chin to look at the stone cliff ahead.

Above the cliff, characters from a Secret Technique faintly appeared and vanished, constantly changing, exuding an air of mystery.

Ye Jiang, who had been standing next to Ye Xin, was now furrowing his brows.

He glanced at his sister Ye Xin, saw her just staring at the stone cliff, then turned back to look at Uncle Ye Tianming and that young master Murong.

The two had retreated to the back, engaged in a low conversation.

Then, Ye Jiang’s gaze shifted to Qin Qing on the other side.

Perhaps because he was still young, Ye Jiang failed to grasp why the relationship between his sister and Qin Qing had suddenly turned out this way.

"Didn’t Big Brother Qin save us? So why did sister say he and we were just ships passing in the night?"

"And... Uncle always says Big Brother Qin has ulterior motives, saying he came to Heavenly Lake Palace because of my sister? But..."

"But I think, Big Brother Qin probably isn’t that kind of person..."

Ye Jiang pondered, then walked over to Qin Qing’s side.

"Big Brother Qin!" Ye Jiang called out softly.

"Hmm?"

Qin Qing, engrossed in contemplating the Secret Technique on the stone cliff, looked down in response when he heard Ye Jiang calling him: "Ye Jiang, what’s the matter?"

"Big Brother Qin, I’m sorry... I want to apologize on behalf of my sister and the others. I don’t think you are the kind of person Uncle describes!" Ye Jiang’s youthful eyes conveyed his guilt.

Qin Qing, initially unsure of what Ye Jiang wanted to say, couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Ye Jiang’s apology. After a short moment of astonishment, he revealed a smile.

It seems that not all in this world is cold and heartless.

Some people seem even less than a child...

"It’s alright," Qin Qing smiled and said to Ye Jiang, "Why bother with what others think? As long as you can justify yourself, that’s enough!"

Watching Qin Qing’s carefree smile, Ye Jiang seemed puzzled and muttered, "Why bother with what others think, as long as I can justify myself?"

Then he raised his head, showing a smile, "Big Brother Qin, I understand now! Thank you, Big Brother Qin! I will always remember your words!"

Qin Qing smiled slightly and pointed toward the stone cliff ahead, saying, "Ye Jiang, look at the characters on that cliff with all your heart. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask Big Brother Qin."

Qin Qing intended to give Ye Jiang some guidance; if Ye Jiang truly had talent, it would be an opportunity for him.

"Alright!"

Ye Jiang nodded, then earnestly looked at the stone cliff, trying hard to scrutinize the ancient characters that intermittently appeared.

Meanwhile, behind them, Murong Hao and Ye Tianming were quietly conversing.

"Master Murong, for this entry to the Saint Lake Mountain and the Burial Dragon Debate with the ancestor, I’ll have to rely on you!" Ye Tianming’s face was full of flattery, and a barely concealable excitement flashed in his eyes.

This time, bringing Ye Xin to the Heavenly Lake Palace, was it really to place the siblings into Heavenly Lake Palace?

He was thinking more about himself.

In this Burial Dragon Debate at Heavenly Lake Palace, the ancestor would personally participate, and during the process, the ancestor would surely impart teachings and resolve doubts.

For Ye Tianming, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ye Tianming was currently at the peak of the Divine Might Realm, just one step away from condensing a Golden Core.

But all these years, he had been stuck at this step, unable to condense the True Intention within his body, his Golden Core unable to take shape!

If he could get the chance to enter Saint Lake Mountain and listen to the ancestor’s teachings, there was a great hope of breaking through that step.

Therefore, Ye Tianming tried every possible method to get Ye Xin and her brother to the Heavenly Lake Palace.

Now, he wanted to deliver Ye Xin into Murong Hao’s arms!

Because Murong Hao’s father, Murong Qingsong, was the Great Elder of Heavenly Lake Palace, he surely had the qualifications to enter Saint Lake Mountain and engage in the Burial Dragon Debate with the ancestor. Moreover, given his status, arranging for one or two more people to enter should not be a problem.

So now, Ye Tianming hoped to use Murong Hao so that his father, Murong Qingsong, would take him along into Saint Lake Mountain.

Murong Hao had a smile on his face and nodded as he heard Ye Tianming’s words, "Ye Tianming, rest assured. In three days, I will definitely have my father take you into Saint Lake Mountain. However, during these three days..."

Murong Hao’s words stopped there, as he cast his gaze toward Ye Xin, who stood not far away at the bottom of the stone cliff.

Ye Tianming immediately understood, "Master Murong, rest assured. I know what to do, and I will make Xin’er obedient!"

"Hehe, that’s good!" Murong Hao grinned, a greedy look flickering in his eyes, thinking it had been a while since he’d had a mature woman, and it would be nice to indulge in some freshness.

Suddenly, just at that moment...

"Boom..."

The sound of the Dragon Cauldron resonated.

As this sound broke through the air, it was clearly the ring of the cauldron rising to the sky, yet it seemed like a dragon’s roar, reverberating through the heavens.

"The Dragon Cauldron has rung, someone has comprehended the Secret Technique!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Who on earth has grasped the Secret Technique?"

Instantly, the crowd stirred like a great wave, and gazes from every direction converged upon the one who had perceived the Secret Technique...
