Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1447: The Reason?
Xiao Yi’s figure gradually receded into the distance.
"Brother Xiao Yi."
Ye Liu shouted directly, his figure flashed, and he caught up with Xiao Yi.
"Oh, what is it?" Xiao Yi stopped his steps and looked at Ye Liu beside him in confusion.
"Why do you walk faster the more I call out?" Ye Liu asked, sounding rather annoyed.
"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled, "The matters here are resolved, so naturally, I leave."
"I was just thinking about some things earlier, didn’t pay attention."
Ye Liu looked at Xiao Yi’s expression as he came out of his thoughts, and his face couldn’t help but twitch.
In the distance, an elder witnessing this twitched his old face in a similar fashion.
Martial Artists around them also carried odd expressions.
It turns out the Old Dean of Heavenly Hidden Academy said all that, but this kid didn’t listen to a single word?
"What is it?" Xiao Yi asked Ye Liu with a puzzled look.
Indeed, he had been pondering over various things.
Whether it was matters concerning the Sword Domain or his own cultivation, he needed some thought.
"What is it? Why, it’s a great occasion," Ye Liu laughed.
"Come."
Ye Liu said briefly and led Xiao Yi back to the Heavenly Star City Wall.
"Come, Brother Xiao Yi, let me introduce you." Ye Liu laughed.
"This is Elder Huoo, my father’s Master."
"This is Elder Huoo’s granddaughter, Huoo Linlang."
"No need for introductions, we’ve met," Huoo Linlang said, her tone indifferent.
"It’s just that our first meeting wasn’t very pleasant."
"Oh right." Ye Liu chuckled and said, "I forgot, you and Brother Xiao Yi faced off at Heavenly Hidden Academy."
"Hmph." Huoo Linlang snorted coldly.
Xiao Yi didn’t pay attention, he directly looked at Ye Liu and said, "What exactly is the matter?"
Ye Liu was about to reply.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master interrupted, "Young Master Xiao Yi, it’s naturally a great occasion, why don’t you quickly kneel?"
"Kneel for what?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.
"Naturally for Elder Huoo," blurted the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
The elder stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a high-minded person.
"Why must I kneel?" Xiao Yi’s tone instantly turned cold as he glanced at the elder.
"Fool," the Heavenly Star Mansion Master said anxiously, "Elder Huoo wants to take you under his wing as the fourth direct disciple."
"Do you know what a blessing it is to be accepted by Elder Huoo?"
"Even Martial Arts Great Powers strive for it."
"You’re lucky this time, kid."
"Sorry, I’m not interested," Xiao Yi shook his head.
"You..." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s tone turned urgent.
Surrounding martial artists, including the nine Mansion Masters, were shocked.
"You mean you’ve rejected?" The elder didn’t get angry, merely looked at Xiao Yi calmly and asked.
Xiao Yi nodded, "I appreciate Elder Huoo’s kindness, but I’ll have to decline."
"What nonsense," the Heavenly Star Mansion Master urged, "Why don’t you kneel?"
"Rejected?" The nine Mansion Masters in the distance sneered.
"Kid, we admit you’re indeed talented, but there’s a limit to arrogance."
"Maybe you think you’re a rarity, trying to get more benefits?"
"A little thief is a little thief, tsk tsk, such calculative mind."
"Better not end up playing yourself to death while seeking benefits."
"If Elder Huoo retracts his offer, you’ll have nowhere to cry."
The position of a direct disciple at Heavenly Hidden Academy is a dream for countless supreme monsters.
Now, Elder Huoo personally agreed to take a direct disciple, yet it was refused?
To everyone, it seemed less a rejection and more Xiao Yi trying to play hard to get for better gains.
Mocking gazes came from all around.
Xiao Yi ignored them, only shook his head, "If there’s nothing else, I bid farewell."
With that, Xiao Yi turned and left indifferently.
Behind him, the elder’s impassive face finally showed a hint of frown.
"Can you tell this old man the reason?"
"Is it still about the unjust treatment by Heavenly Hidden Academy years ago?"
"Or do you think this old man isn’t competent to teach you?"
The matter of past injustice at Heavenly Hidden Academy, the elder as the Dean did not hide it, rather spoke directly.
Xiao Yi paused his steps, shook his head, and said earnestly, "I didn’t take that matter to heart."
"Looking back, the so-called unfair treatment doesn’t really matter."
Heavenly Hidden Academy as an institution, whether it accepts a disciple or not, involves no right or wrong.
Of course, whether Xiao Yi enters or not also involves no right or wrong.
If not accepting, then he doesn’t enter, simple as that.
Heavenly Hidden Academy doesn’t owe Xiao Yi anything, nor does Xiao Yi owe Heavenly Hidden Academy anything.
What’s called unfairness, doesn’t mean much.
"As for Elder Huoo’s competence, heh." Xiao Yi chuckled, a very earnest laugh.
"As a legendary figure in the Central Region, Elder Huoo’s strength and cultivation is something I greatly admire."
"Being capable of teaching me is more than sufficient."
Xiao Yi spoke without a hint of falsehood.
Elder Huoo himself is a respected senior.
As a Legendary Martial Artist, his level needs no further mention.
Moreover, not just hearsay, Xiao Yi himself had seen Elder Huoo in action not long ago.
Casually done, he could easily overwhelm Heu Baishan, the Old Mansion Master of Illusion Light Mansion, in the Soul Master Dao.
Casually done, the starlight filled the sky, forming a curtain, his Starlight Dao surpassed that of the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
Who knows how many Top Martial Ways Elder Huoo has mastered?
Who knows how many overwhelming techniques Elder Huoo possesses?
Such a figure, no wonder he has taught talents that shocked the Central Region.
"Then what is it?" The elder asked.
Xiao Yi smiled, "Because I already have a master."
With that, Xiao Yi said nothing more and left in a flash.
The elder upon hearing this paused, sighed.
At that moment, Xiao Yi’s departing figure became the focus for everyone once more. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Only Huoo Linlang’s brows furrowed.
"Could it be him?"
No matter what, she couldn’t shake the familiarity his eyes brought.
After a while, Huoo Linlang shook her head, sneering softly, "How could it be?"
"That guy is unapproachable, with an extremely unruly character, how could he be friends with someone like Ye Liu the playboy?"
Huoo Linlang shook her head with a smile.
The elder looked at Huoo Linlang with a puzzled look, "Why are you smiling?"
"Nothing." Huoo Linlang shook her head, pursing her lips.
"Master," Ye Liu at this moment supported Guu Lianxing before the elder, "Would it be within your power to prolong Lianxing’s life a little longer?"
At this moment, Guu Lianxing was temporarily out of danger.
But the life-prolonging assistance from Xiao Yi could only safeguard her for a few days.
The elder extended his hand, a ray of light covered Guu Lianxing’s forehead.
After a while, the elder withdrew his hand, saying solemnly, "Young girl, someone helped repair your bloodline and Martial Soul a few days ago, yes?"
"Yes, Senior Huoo." Guu Lianxing nodded.
"Impressive skills," the elder said in a deep voice, "The bloodline and Martial Soul are paramount, errors can’t be tolerated."
"Therefore, even if an outsider helps repair them, it must be done cautiously, can’t afford any mistakes."
"Yet I observed the repair marks on your Martial Soul and bloodline, almost perfect, the control and flow of power without the slightest error."
"Who helped with your bloodline and Martial Soul repair?"
"It was indeed Young Master Xiao Yi." Guu Lianxing answered.
"That kid..." Upon hearing this, the elder glanced at the direction of Xiao Yi’s departure, and sighed again.
"Master, how is it?" Ye Liu asked.
The elder shook his head, "Originally, the previous repair was enough to extend her life for years, even longer."
"But she forcibly dissipated her starlight, putting her Martial Soul and bloodline back into a damaged state."
"Now, even if I fully exert myself, I can only prolong her life for several months."
"Months?" Ye Liu’s face showed complexity, but after a while, he nodded, "That’s enough."
...
