Moon Pavilion.
A strong scent of Rouge lingered over the elegant small building. Those coming and going were all nobles and dignitaries, giving this seemingly unique building an additional air of a power vortex.
In the past, Tang Yuehua was the owner of this building. The gazes of the men here often focused on her, and the women always tried to compete with her.
She always stood there quietly, her every frown and smile full of charm.
Relying on the characteristics of her Martial Soul and her feminine charm, she navigated the power field with ease, shouldering the stability of the Clear Sky Sect's periphery.
It could be said that without Tang Yuehua, the Clear Sky Sect would not have had such a comfortable ten years or so, nor would its strength have ushered in an explosive surge.
But today, Tang Yuehua had lost her usual confidence.
Her so-called self-cultivation was nowhere to be seen.
All of this was because...
"Lin Xiao!"
Tang Yuehua gritted her silver teeth. She never expected that she, who was most capable of manipulating men, would suffer such a great loss with Lin Xiao.
The Strength Clan actually acknowledged Lin Xiao as their master?
Titan, the most honest and stubborn of them all, was now following Lin Xiao?
This alone was enough to make Tang Yuehua unhappy!
Even if the Clear Sky Sect abandoned the Strength Clan, even if the Clear Sky Sect watched the Four Great Clans being suppressed, even if the Clear Sky Sect had long severed ties with the Four Great Clans.
But!
It's like 'I don't want it ≠ you don't give it', and 'I accepted it ≠ I'm willing'!
It was one thing for the Spirit Hall to take what the Clear Sky Sect didn't want, but what did Lin Xiao mean by taking it?
Moreover, Titan had eliminated several of the Clear Sky Sect's informants as if he were bewitched.
This was equivalent to severing the last possible connection between the Strength Clan and the Clear Sky Sect!
When the news came.
Tang Yuehua was stunned!
The Clear Sky Sect was even more furious!
"I didn't expect that when we first met, he was just a child beside Qingxian. How could he do such shocking things in just a few years?"
Tang Yuehua had opinions about Lin Xiao.
Not only because Titan had defected to Lin Xiao.
Not only because Titan had killed the Clear Sky Sect's informants.
But because Tang Yuehua found it incredible. She had always thought that she had Lin Xiao under her control. Although Lin Xiao was just a child, Tang Yuehua would still create some ambiguity, staying within that borderline range.
On the one hand, because Lin Xiao was good-looking, she wanted to tease him;
On the other hand, because he was her best friend's disciple, she was seeking excitement;
On one hand, it was because Lin Xiao was outstanding and they wanted to win him over.
Tang Yuehua thought that Lin Xiao had already submitted, but now that this kind of thing had happened, it indirectly reflected that Lin Xiao didn't really care about her at all.
Her mentality was a little unbalanced!
Was she old? Was she inferior to Ye Qingxian?
And why did Lin Xiao often come to her to freeload services? It couldn't really just be to freeload, right?
Did he feel that he had taken advantage of Ye Qingxian, so he wanted to recover some losses?
The more Tang Yuehua thought about it, the angrier she became!
"Pavilion Master, Young Master Lin Xiao has arrived."
A maid's voice came from outside the door.
Tang Yuehua sneered, "Oh, he dares to come?"
She tidied up her hair ornaments, put on a cold expression, and quietly waited for him to come up.
Lin Xiao pushed open the door and went straight to the point:
"Pavilion Master Tang sent someone to tail me, caring so much about my whereabouts, and even wanted me to come and see you in person. I wonder what your intentions are?"
"Now that I'm here, what are you going to do?"
After Lin Xiao came in, whether it was the expression on his face or the tone of his voice, it was very different from before!
This almost made Tang Yuehua's lungs explode with anger!
Good! So ungrateful!
Tang Yuehua questioned him sternly:
"Lin Xiao, do you know my identity?"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
"Of course, the younger sister of the Clear Sky Sect Master."
Tang Yuehua's voice suddenly turned cold.
"Then do you understand the relationship between the Strength Clan and the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Of course, this is something everyone knows."
Tang Yuehua said coldly:
"Then why do you still want to get involved with the Strength Clan?"
"And even instruct the Strength Clan to kill people from my Clear Sky Sect!"
In fact, what Titan killed were just the Clear Sky Sect's informants, not real Clear Sky Sect disciples.
After all, in a Sect that takes bloodline as its bond, only those who possess the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul are considered their own.
However, the Clear Sky Sect was still very angry.
Tang Yuehua was still very angry!
Lin Xiao said indifferently, "First, the Clear Sky Sect and the Strength Clan have long been unrelated, and it was the Clear Sky Sect that abandoned the Strength Clan; second, Titan's killing has nothing to do with me, and there's no question of instructing him."
"Third, and most importantly."
"The Clear Sky Sect shrinks its head and acts like a tortoise under the might of the Spirit Hall, yet it dares to show off in front of me?"
"So what if I really killed your Clear Sky Sect's disciple?"
Not knowing how to appreciate favors.
This was Lin Xiao's evaluation of Tang Yuehua.
This woman's utilitarianism was too heavy. She seemed aloof, but deep down, she just liked to take advantage.
And she was the kind who wanted to put up a facade while acting like a bitch to take advantage.
It was only because she knew Lin Xiao that she dared to speak like this.
Let her try with someone she wasn't familiar with?
Behind Lin Xiao stood Dugu Bo, Ye Qingxian, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Heaven Dou Empire!
It wasn't that Lin Xiao was presumptuous, but that Tang Yuehua was too presumptuous.
She had forgotten her own position!
Lin Xiao didn't mind helping Tang Yuehua recognize herself again.
Tang Yuehua's face turned pale.
She really didn't expect that Lin Xiao would dare to speak to her like this!
Was he really not afraid of the Clear Sky Sect?
Did he not care about her status as an elder?
Tang Yuehua said angrily, "Is this how Qingxian taught you?"
"Like father, like son!"
Lin Xiao's eyes turned cold, "Say that again?"
For some reason, Lin Xiao didn't release any Soul Power pressure, but Tang Yuehua felt a great pressure.
Even... a sense of fear arose in her heart?
Tang Yuehua didn't dare to speak again.
"Apologize."
Tang Yuehua pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"Apologize."
Lin Xiao said a second time, his voice very cold.
"I'm sorry."
Tang Yuehua suddenly felt very aggrieved. Since she had been having such a smooth and successful time in Heaven Dou City, this was the first time she had felt such grievance.
"I told you to apologize to Aunt Ye!"
Perhaps the aura on the young man was too frightening, Tang Yuehua could only lower her head and say:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken about Qingxian."
She found Lin Xiao troublesome, her brain working rapidly, realizing that the young man was likely one who wouldn't respond to force.
So, she deliberately squeezed out two drops of tears, and said in that aggrieved voice from just now:
"The first time I saw you, you were only as tall as Qingxian's waist. You were so cute back then, and I genuinely treated you as a junior to cherish."
"I didn't expect that after a few years, you've grown up and become fierce too."
"You're so good to Qingxian, so what position do I hold in your heart?"
She deliberately spoke ambiguously, and even put on a look of being on the verge of tears, heartbroken, an ordinary young man would have taken the bait by now.
But Lin Xiao just silently looked at her, giving his own evaluation:
"An old woman."
At a speed visible to the naked eye, Tang Yuehua's face rapidly flushed red.
Until... completely overheated!
