Chapter 26: Let Me Hear You Call Me Grandpa

"Wh-what do you mean?" Shi Muyao asked blankly. Weren’t they just inviting them into the Yuling Sect a moment ago? Why the sudden change in attitude?

"What do I mean? Can’t you understand human speech? I mean, get lost!" Sun Yuerong took two steps forward, her face bearing an icy expression. She had been holding back a belly full of anger just now.

"You..." Shi Muyao was somewhat bewildered. They had been driven away as soon as they arrived. Then, she thought a reasonable senior brother had shown up and they could enter the Yuling Sect. In the end, his attitude completely flipped. They hadn’t done anything. How did it turn out like this?

"Heh!" At this moment, Mo Qianqian couldn’t help but sneer, "Do you still not get it? This man, who looks like a woman, is merely lusting after your beauty. He isn’t actually being reasonable or trying to help you enter the Yuling Sect.

"Once he found out I’m your husband, he immediately showed his true colors."

Shi Muyao finally understood. As expected, none of these people were any good!

"What did you say?!" Wu Yubai’s face darkened, a faint murderous glint flashing in his eyes. He hated it most when people said he looked like a woman. He was handsome!

"You dare insult Senior Brother Wu? Do you have any idea who Senior Brother Wu is?"

"You’re just a piece of trash! Do you even deserve to bring up the word ’man’ in front of him? Senior Brother Wu is a genius who made it to the hundredth place on the Great Xia Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon List. How dare you speak to him like that?"

"Hmph, you dog of a man! Insulting Senior Brother Wu? I think you’re courting death!"

The group of female disciples began hurling curses. Each of them was filled with righteous indignation, looking as if they wanted nothing more than to hack Mo Qianqian to pieces. Some even released their auras, ready to attack.

"Number one hundred on the Hidden Dragon List. If I remember correctly, isn’t that the absolute bottom of the list? What is there to be proud of being at the very bottom?" Mo Qianqian retorted. "Also, this sissy got malicious intentions the moment he saw a pretty face. He doesn’t take any of you seriously at all, yet you’re still defending him like this?"

"What did you say?" The crowd was also enraged. Sun Yuerong in particular was stung; the phrase ’doesn’t take any of you seriously at all’ hit her right in the sore spot. Just now, when Wu Yubai had looked at Shi Muyao with those eyes, she had indeed felt awful.

She thought fiercely, "Hmph, this is all that vixen’s fault! I must kill her!" Sun Yuerong’s heart was already brimming with intense killing intent.

"Heh!" Wu Yubai also sneered. "Being hundredth on the Hidden Dragon List is the bottom? Do you even know what kind of person qualifies to enter the list?"

Before Mo Qianqian could speak, one of the female disciples cursed at him, "He definitely doesn’t know! What could a rustic country bumpkin like him possibly know?"

"He doesn’t even know what the Hidden Dragon List is, yet he dares to call the hundredth place the bottom?" another chimed in.

"Do you realize that only the most promising geniuses in the entire Great Xia Dynasty can enter the Hidden Dragon List?" a third added. "Making it onto the list is as difficult as ascending to the heavens, yet you dare laugh at the hundredth place for being at the bottom?"

"He’s just a frog in a well!"

"If the hundredth place is the bottom, have you ever made it onto the Hidden Dragon List?"

The group continued to hurl insults one after another, wishing they could curse Mo Qianqian into a hole in the ground.

"I have. Ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List," Mo Qianqian suddenly said.

The group of female disciples cursing Mo Qianqian all froze. One of them immediately sneered in anger, "You? First on the Hidden Dragon List?"

"Hahaha!" Beside them, Wu Yubai burst into a furious laugh. "First on the Hidden Dragon List? In this generation, only Mo Qianqian and Ling Qingxue have claimed that spot. You dare call yourself first?"

"I am the first on the Hidden Dragon List," Mo Qianqian’s voice deepened slightly. He could tell from Wu Yubai’s words that Ling Qingxue must be ranked first on the list now. Before this, she had only been ranked somewhere in the teens. He hadn’t expected her to progress so rapidly. If he wasn’t mistaken, the assimilation of his Holy Dragon Bloodline had already succeeded. The number one spot on the Hidden Dragon List had once been his. Now, it had shifted to Ling Qingxue. How ironic!

"If you’re first on the Hidden Dragon List, I’ll call you my grandpa today! But since you dare to desecrate the list, I will teach you the meaning of regret!" Wu Yubai was seething. He ordered coldly, "Break his legs and make him kneel!"

"I’ll do it!" Before any of the other female disciples could act, Sun Yuerong was the first to step out, charging toward Mo Qianqian. Her body radiated the aura of the Spirit Vein Realm Sixth Layer.

Sun Yuerong had reached the Spirit Vein Realm Sixth Layer! Reaching that realm before the age of twenty meant she could be considered a genius in this region.

At that moment, Shi Muyao also unleashed the aura of the Spirit Vein Realm Fifth Level and dashed forward. Mo Qianqian frowned, but considering that Shi Muyao’s cultivation was only one minor realm below Sun Yuerong’s, he didn’t stop her. He let the two clash head-on.

"Hmph, you’re exactly who I was waiting for!" Sun Yuerong sneered, her killing intent suddenly flaring. She unleashed a powerful palm combat skill and struck at Shi Muyao, aiming directly for her life.

Shi Muyao met the attack, her palm striking against Sun Yuerong’s.

BANG!

A powerful collision of force erupted. Both Sun Yuerong and Shi Muyao were sent stumbling backward several dozen feet.

"You..." Sun Yuerong was astonished. How could an opponent at the Spirit Vein Realm Fifth Level block her powerful Spirit Vein Realm Sixth Layer attack?

The present Yuling Sect disciples were equally surprised, especially the female disciple at the Spirit Vein Realm Fourth Level who had wanted to attack Shi Muyao earlier. If Shi Muyao could block even Sun Yuerong, wouldn’t attacking her just be asking for trouble?

Mo Qianqian was also slightly surprised. It seemed Shi Muyao was not as weak as he had imagined. Her combat strength in a head-on clash was quite formidable.

A hint of shock also surfaced on Wu Yubai’s face. He glared coldly at Mo Qianqian and was about to speak when Shi Muyao beat him to it. "He isn’t talking nonsense. He really did rank first on the Hidden Dragon List! He is Mo Qianqian!"

"What?" This time, everyone froze, including Wu Yubai. This young man standing before them was Mo Qianqian?

They had all heard of Mo Qianqian’s former prestige. It could be said that he was renowned throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty. They had also heard the rumors that his cultivation had been crippled after attempting to assault Ling Qingxue. But they never expected that Mo Qianqian would actually come to the Yuling Sect. If it really was him, then he truly had ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List.

"You’re Mo Qianqian?" Wu Yubai asked, still somewhat in disbelief.

"That’s right!" The corners of Mo Qianqian’s mouth curled into a smirk. "Well, grandson, aren’t you going to call me grandpa?"

"You!" Wu Yubai’s face flushed red with anger. He had indeed said that if the other party was first on the Hidden Dragon List, he would call him grandpa. But those were just words spoken in anger. How could he have possibly connected this person to Mo Qianqian? It felt as if Mo Qianqian had slapped him squarely across the face, leaving him thoroughly humiliated.

"Hmph! You might have been first on the Hidden Dragon List once, but you aren’t anymore! You’re nothing but a cripple now! You wouldn’t even rank in the top hundred!" Enraged, Wu Yubai unleashed his Eighth Level of Spiritual Vein Realm aura. With a swift movement, he charged directly toward Mo Qianqian and Shi Muyao.
