Bai Gongyu pondered and said, "I see, no wonder you were caught by the Ironblood Yuan Lion and didn't have any power to resist."
A cultivator without martial technique is like a monster beast without sharp fangs, completely unable to pose a threat to others or resist!
Suddenly, she said with a hint of joy, "Right... in a few days, it will be the time for the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion to open, and every disciple of the Bai Gong Clan can choose martial techniques! But you can only take away three."
If I talk to my father, he should also allow Xu Sheng to enter the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion to choose martial techniques!
That way, even if he leaves the Bai Gong Mansion, he will have the power to protect himself!
On hearing this, Xu Sheng revealed a sincere smile and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you..."
Helping a stranger to this extent is already very rare!
And...
Can only choose three martial techniques?
All I need to do is memorize those techniques within the specified time, right?
Bai Gongyu patted her impressive chest and promised, "Don't worry, Xu Sheng, once I speak to my father, he won't refuse!"
Xu Sheng nodded and asked with some confusion, "Feather, what realm is your cultivation level at now?"
Upon hearing Xu Sheng's more intimate and even couple-like address, Bai Gongyu's cheeks reddened...
Speaking with some difficulty, she said, "Um... Xu Sheng, our relationship isn't that close yet, it would be bad if others misunderstood..."
"As for my cultivation level... it's a secret!"
Xu Sheng was taken aback, then a look of realization appeared on his face...
It really seemed that the address was too intimate...
Xu Sheng propped up his chin, considering what to say, "So what should I call you? Feather Junior Sister? Miss Yu?"
Seeing Xu Sheng so earnestly contemplating, Bai Gongyu's cheeks turned even redder, and her ears felt continuously hot...
In a soft voice, Bai Gongyu said, "Just call me Feather Junior Sister, it's just a title after all..."
With a nonchalant smile, Xu Sheng responded, "Alright then, Feather Junior Sister, would you mind showing me around the Bai Gong Mansion?"
Getting to know the Bai Gong Mansion in advance could prevent any problems later on,
Bai Gongyu didn't think much of it and simply replied, "Okay!"
...
After showing Xu Sheng around most parts of the Bai Gong Mansion, they arrived at this brightly glowing and colossal pavilion...
It was none other than the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion. True to its name, the entire pavilion was crafted from jade materials. One glance at it and you could feel its unique charm!
Bai Gongyu explained, "Xu Sheng, this is the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion! This is where you will choose the martial techniques when the time comes!"
Xu Sheng surveyed the pavilion and remarked, "Is that so?
With such a large pavilion, there must definitely be many martial techniques!
Just not sure what level they are, and if there are barriers sealing the high-level techniques, that could be troublesome..."
Just then, several disciples from the Bai Gong Clan happened to come by and immediately recognized Bai Gongyu conversing intimately with Xu Sheng!
One of the disciples rubbed his eyes in amazement and exclaimed, "Look! Isn't that Bai Gongyu? What is she doing with that man? And they seem so cheerful!"
Another disciple said angrily, "This is unbearable! This guy dares to harbor intentions towards Feather Junior Sister, we must let this brat know his place!"
"Brother Mang, we can't let him off, this is a provocation against you!"
The man referred to as "Brother Mang" was Bai Gong Mang, the second son of the Grand Elder, and his strength had reached the Second Layer of Transcendence Tribulation!
Only one step away from ascending to the Third Layer of Tribulation Crossing, he was considered above average among all the disciples!
Clenching his fist, Bai Gong Mang's eyes brimmed with inexplicable rage as he coldly commanded, "Let's go over there; I want to see for myself what it is about this fellow that Bai Gongyu finds so interesting!"
After the words fell, they all stepped forward towards Xu Sheng and Bai Gongyu...
Feeling the approaching aura of Bai Gong Mang and his group, Xu Sheng and Bai Gongyu nearly turned their heads simultaneously to look over...
Bai Gong Mang revealed what he thought was a charming smile, waving his hand, "Feather Junior Sister, I didn't expect to find you here..."
Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Gongyu's face instantly darkened, "Bai Gong Mang, what does my being here have to do with you?"
His fondness for this guy was at an all-time low!
He even felt disgusted to talk with him!
Xu Sheng remained silent, his dark pupils shifting over them...
Second Layer of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage...
Seventh Layer of Hollow Void...
Fifth Layer of Hollow Void...
...
Apart from the man leading them who had reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the other disciples hovering around him were at about the Hollow Void Stage...
Biting his teeth, Bai Gong Mang forced a smile, "Feather Junior Sister, don't be so heartless, after all, I am also your senior brother. Would you rather be intimate with a piece of trash and not even talk to me?"
The disciples behind him snickered...
"Yeah! Sister Yu! Brother Mang is really fond of you!"
"I think, Sister Yu, you and Brother Mang make the perfect pair!"
"Exactly! This kid at the Seventh Layer of Hollow Void even dares to lay his hands on you, Sister. He's truly asking for death!"
These words made Bai Gongyu's delicate cheeks grow even more sullen...
Her tone was extremely cold, "Bai Gong Mang, that's enough!"
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, his intent to kill growing stronger...
Seeing Bai Gongyu's chill almost becoming tangible, Bai Gong Mang finally raised his hand to stop his little brothers' chatter...
That rather prideful gaze glanced at Xu Sheng, warning, "Kid! I'd advise you to stay away from Feather Junior Sister. She's not someone you can touch. Be careful or you'll end up with nowhere to bury your corpse!"
Xu Sheng glanced at him, replying indifferently, "What if I don't?"
Being publicly contradicted and losing face, Bai Gong Mang's pride could no longer suppress his anger...
He bellowed, "Kid, you're seeking death!"
As the words fell, he lifted his arm, veins bulging, and threw a punch towards Xu Sheng's head...
The latter's eyes abruptly narrowed, about to dodge...
But before that, Bai Gongyu beside him moved, kicking Bai Gong Mang's abdomen first...
With a "bang!", he was sent flying backward from the force...
Blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, he coughed as he fixed his gaze on Bai Gongyu who had kicked him flying, "Cough cough... Feather Junior Sister, as expected, quite formidable!"
But inside he cursed, "Cheap wench! I've liked you for so long, and now you choose to be this guy's dog?!"
The other disciples hurried over, helping him up...
Bai Gongyu spoke with distaste, "Get out of here quick, I don't want to see you!"
Hearing these words, Bai Gong Mang directed his sinister gaze towards Xu Sheng, grinding his teeth, "Kid! I'll remember you! Let's go!"
He wouldn't let this Xu Sheng off!!
With that, the group sullenly left...
