Chapter 898: Chapter 860 The Man Personally Brought Back by Bai Gongyu (Please Subscribe)_1
Bai Gongyu glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and explained, "Shallow Night Senior Brother, his name is Xu Sheng. He was seriously injured after an encounter with a monster beast and has followed us back to recover."
Then, her gaze shifted toward Xu Sheng beside her and she said, "Xu Sheng, this is Bai Gong Qianye, my senior brother..."
Although she was not fond of Bai Gong Qianye at the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to snub him in any way after all, he was the son of the Bai Gong Clan's third elder!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng smiled lightly and extended his hand, saying, "Pleased to meet you."
Bai Gong Qianye just glanced casually at Xu Sheng's hand hanging in midair and indifferently said, "Hmm."
He initially thought Xu Sheng belonged to some prominent family, so he acted cautiously, but now it seemed this guy wasn't even worthy of shaking his hand!
Treated in such a way, Xu Sheng didn't get angry; still smiling, he withdrew his hand...
The surrounding disciples all began to discuss privately, clearly not taking Xu Sheng seriously in their words!
"Pfft! Did you see? Shallow Night Senior Brother didn't even want to shake hands, he thought it was dirty!"
"Yeah! He's just at the Hollow Void Stage, while Shallow Night Senior Brother is a powerhouse at the Crossing Tribulation Sixth Level, he wouldn't give him a second look!"
"But isn't Shallow Night Senior Brother being a bit too disrespectful? The man's hand is still hanging in the air!"
"Who cares! Daring to come close to our goddess, he's getting off easy being treated like this!"
Only Elder Mu and Elder Ming, who saw this scene from behind, had their eyes flickering with displeasure...
The Miss already said he was someone who had come with them, by acting this way, wasn't Bai Gong Qianye slapping their faces?
Bai Gong Qianye pretended to be cultured and said, "Well then, Elder Mu, Elder Ming, and Feather Junior Sister, I'll leave you be!"
After saying this, he glanced contemptuously at Xu Sheng and then stepped away...
Bai Gongyu, seeing that Xu Sheng's gaze was following the departing Bai Gong Qianye, asked cautiously, "Xu Sheng, are you angry?"
Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "No, why would I be?"
Relieved, Bai Gongyu advised, "You still have to try to tolerate him in the end and not provoke him. Although Shallow Night Senior Brother gives off an unpleasant vibe, even I have to give him some face."
"Because not only is he the son of the third elder, but his cultivation level has also reached the Crossing Tribulation Sixth Level!"
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Crossing Tribulation Sixth Level, huh?"
Surely, such strength deserved pride...
He was afraid that if he were to fight with him, he might not even withstand three moves...
Following that, Bai Gongyu and the others arranged a place for Xu Sheng to stay, and then they left, obviously having important matters to attend to!
...
At this moment, inside the great hall of the Bai Gong Clan...
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the hall, who had an authoritative look in his eyes, was looking at Bai Gongyu before him...
He was none other than the Clan Leader of the Bai Gong Clan, Bai Gong Li!
He asked her very gently, "Feather, I heard you brought a man back this time? Could you tell me what the situation is?"
This was the first time his daughter had ever brought a strange man back to the Bai Gong Mansion; she usually wouldn't even show interest in the talents within the clan...
She had even forcefully turned down the Mo Family's marriage proposal!
Bai Gongyu nodded and explained softly, "Father, it's like this..."
After she recounted the whole matter...
Bai Gong Li propped his chin and mused, "I see, so he's from the Lower Realm? No wonder he was seriously injured by the Ironblood Yuan Lion at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!"
So it seems, bringing this man named Xu Sheng back was just an act of compassion by Bai Gongyu...
Seeing her father in this light, suspicion flickered in the beautiful eyes of Bai Gongyu, "Father, you're not thinking of doing something to harm Xu Sheng, are you?"
A doting look appeared on Bai Gong Li's face as he chuckled, "How could that be! What kind of person do you think I am? Since Feather personally invited him to our mansion, we should treat him as a guest, regardless of his cultivation level!"
Bai Gongyu playfully stuck out her tongue, "That's better. Well then, Father, I'll go down first. Maybe while I'm gone, others will take advantage of Xu Sheng!"
Bai Gong Li reached out, attempting to stop her, "Wait..."
But before he could finish, Bai Gongyu had already turned and left...
It was only then that his expression turned solemn, his gaze shifting to Elder Ming and Elder Mu beside him...
He said gravely, "What do you think of this Xu Sheng?"
Elder Mu responded indifferently, "Although the young man's talents are mediocre, he seems upright and straightforward. He probably won't do anything to harm the Bai Gong Clan or Miss."
Bai Gong Li turned to Elder Ming, "Do you feel the same way, Elder Ming?"
Elder Ming replied softly, "Yes. Nothing unusual was found in his conversations, but we must not let down our guard."
Bai Gongyu nodded and muttered to herself, "Is that so..."
If it really were a coincidence, then so be it...
His eyes suddenly sharpened, "What is most important now is the third elder and the Grand Elder. They've been up to some unsavory activities behind the scenes recently. I fear..."
Elder Mu and Elder Ming seemed to recall something, their pupils constricting in shock as they exclaimed, "Clan Leader, are you suggesting...?"
Bai Gong Li's presence gradually became more subdued...
...
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng in his room could constantly hear the mocking voices of the Bai Gong Clan disciples...
"Tsk! Is this the guy Bai Gongyu brought back? Seventh Layer of Hollow Void, pretty average if you ask me..."
"I heard it and thought he was some kind of genius! Turns out he's just this? Disappointing."
"What a letdown. I thought that to catch Bai Gongyu's favor, he must have something special, but apart from being handsome, I really can't see anything worthy of note!"
Suddenly, with a gentle smile on her face, Bai Gongyu walked out and said softly, "What's everyone talking about? Share it with me too?"
Her words instantly caused the mocking disciples to shut their mouths, and they dispersed as if by mutual agreement...
Making sure they were gone, she then stepped into Xu Sheng's room...
Upon seeing Xu Sheng sitting on the floor, she unceremoniously sat down beside him, blinking her beautiful eyes, "Xu Sheng, do you like the environment here?"
Stretching lazily, Xu Sheng sighed softly, "It's nice, just that there are a bit too many mosquitoes around..."
Hearing Xu Sheng compare the disciples to mosquitoes, Bai Gongyu covered her mouth and chuckled a few times...
She chose not to argue, because she felt the same!
Suddenly curious, Bai Gongyu asked, "By the way, Xu Sheng, have you learned any martial arts techniques?"
Xu Sheng replied helplessly, "Yes, but I learned them in the Lower Realm! They're ineffective in the Cultivation World."
This was indeed true; even the Beast Taming Technique was influenced. The Heavenly-tier Martial Techniques he possessed were certainly no match for the Yellow-Rank Martial Arts Techniques of the Cultivation World!
That's also why, despite using the Devil Shadow Step, he could still be caught by the Ironblood Yuan Lion...
