As the Law Sovereign and others were about to enter the city gate, a sudden voice interrupted, saying, "Hold on! You've been showing off for so long, and Old Qi Hang at the street corner is already in pain waiting. Let me bring my disciple in first, and then you can follow."
This voice was filled with dissatisfaction, disdain, and a hint of anger.
It seemed to convey the message: Old Qi Hang at the street corner is so impressive yet hasn’t made a fuss, yet you lot are making such a spectacle. Do you think you’re better than him?
This statement was shocking.
Everyone was taken aback and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
They saw two figures walking toward them from the right side of the city gate.
One of them wore a faded blue robe, his face was thin, and he emanated an air of simplicity and calmness.
However, his expression was anything but calm. In fact, he looked quite displeased, clearly visible from the way he looked at the Law Sovereign, with a hint of a rebellious smile on his lips, clearly showing that he found the situation very unappealing!
Beside him stood a girl dressed in red, as lovely as a Celestial Dew Pearl. With her snowy-white cheeks, lively eyes, and flowing hair, she was already considered tall among girls of her age, having started to develop; her chest was slightly rounded, her hips slightly pert, making her waist appear even slimmer.
She seemed fragile, evoking a sense of heartache.
Yet her beauty was stunning enough to elicit deep sympathy.
Standing there, she looked like a dawn cloud that suddenly descended from the sky.
On the girl’s shoulder was a small white fox, no bigger than a palm, with bright black eyes watching the crowd. It reached out with its tiny paws and surprisingly opened a piece of candy, tossing it into its mouth with a snap.
The two continued to walk toward them, taking their time.
One of the Chen family’s managers, who was already displeased, thought to himself: Damn it, everyone else is fine; only our Chen family suffered a loss, forcing Old Qi Hang to rush here…
Hearing this voice at that moment only added to his frustration, and before even turning around, he cursed, "Who the hell has the guts to say that? Are they tired of living? Do they even know who stands before them? Seriously… this world lacks everything except for arrogance!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the early winter weather turned frigid.
The man slowly turned his head, his previously lazy gaze suddenly became unfathomable.
It seemed as if his eyes absorbed the entire vast universe.
Chen Mengchi, the second ancestor of the Chen family, was shocked and raised his hand to strike.
Xiao Se beside him began to laugh sinisterly, saying, "What you said is absolutely right! In this world, there’s everything but arrogance… facing the ten supreme ones, they dare to look down on the likes of you, a mere saint level one, and you dare to speak so boldly!"
The Law Sovereign’s expression darkened as he said lightly, "Whose people are they?"
Chen Mengchi, sweating profusely, bowed and said, "I… I have not taught them properly… I ask for your forgiveness, Master Law Sovereign, and Senior Bu!" He bent down, not daring to lift his head.
With his experience, how could he not recognize a figure from the top three in the Nine Heavens that one should not provoke?
Angering the Law Sovereign was already a secondary issue because he could still give himself some face, but Bu Liqing was notoriously known for not giving anyone face.
If he truly became angry, would the Chen family face another annihilation here? Among everyone from the Chen family who had come, it seemed only he could barely escape with his life.
He sighed internally: What kind of things has the Chen family raised in these years? He secretly vowed that as long as nothing happens this time, he would go back and rectify the family rules!
I’m over nine thousand years old; is it easy for me to lower myself here for this one sentence?
The Law Sovereign said casually, "He’s not insulting me. Bu brother, what do you think?"
