Chapter 140: My Apprentice, Why Don’t You and Xiao Yang Just Cook Some Rice Together?

Nine Heavens City.

Xiao Yang cornered Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er in a narrow alley.

“Spill it! Why are you impersonating me?”

Xiao Yang crossed his arms, looking at the duo with a smirk.

He never expected these two would have the audacity to have one impersonate Elder Lei and the other impersonate himself to swindle folks in Nine Heavens City.

These two really had some guts!

This was Nine Heavens City after all.

The city lord, Li Gaitian, knew Elder Lei personally.

As for whether Li Fanyin knew Elder Lei, he had no clue.

Weren’t they afraid of getting caught?

Impersonating a Sect Elder and Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect? The consequences could be dire.

And now they had just been busted by the genuine article.

“I say, son-in-law, you’ve got it all wrong! What’s the difference between you and my apprentice?”

Liu Qingyun said, unflinching and deadpan.

“What?”

Xiao Yang blinked, caught off guard.

“What else? I said I’d marry my apprentice off to you!”

Liu Qingyun stated with utmost seriousness.

“Wait, when did I agree to that?”

Xiao Yang was speechless.

Just because he saved them in the Underground Blood Pool of Black Wind City, now they were trying to tie him down?

“Old man, since he’s not willing, why are you pushing?”

Ling Xian’er, disguised as a boy, shot a disapproving glance at Xiao Yang.

“Son-in-law, if you’re willing to marry my apprentice, I’ll give you a great opportunity!”

Liu Qingyun gazed at Xiao Yang, eyes burning with intensity.

Xiao Yang chuckled at this ridiculous proposition.

Come on, he had been reborn, what great opportunity did he need?

However, there was definitely something in Qingyun Sect’s forbidden land that intrigued him.

But after the war with the Demon Sect hundreds of years ago, the upper echelons of Qingyun Sect were wiped out, nearly leading to their extinction.

This battle had severed most of Qingyun Sect’s inheritances.

Even the entrance method to their forbidden land had been lost.

Otherwise, how would Liu Qingyun and his gang be in such a dire situation?

“Old trickster, you think you can fool me?”

Xiao Yang laughed.

This big conman was always up to something.

Liu Qingyun was rightly known as the North’s greatest trickster.

“How could I possibly fool you?”

Liu Qingyun shook his head.

“Alright, don’t say I didn’t warn you. The people from Qingyang Sword Sect will soon arrive in Nine Heavens City. If you keep impersonating me and get caught, you’re on your own!”

Xiao Yang said, turning to leave the alley without waiting for Liu Qingyun’s response.

Ling Xian’er watched Xiao Yang’s retreating figure, her eyes betraying an indescribable emotion.

“Ugh, why doesn’t this guy fall for it?”

Liu Qingyun sighed.

“My apprentice, how about I figure out a way for you and this kid to make things happen?”

Liu Qingyun looked earnestly at Ling Xian’er.

“Cook? Cook? If you want to cook rice, you go do it with him!”

Ling Xian’er suddenly got angry and stomped out of the alley, fuming.

“I’m a guy, why would I cook with him? Hey, wait for me!”

Liu Qingyun groaned, seeing Ling Xian’er sprint out of the alley, and hurried after her.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang had already vanished from sight.

“This guy… am I not pretty enough?”

After being rejected multiple times by Xiao Yang, Ling Xian’er began to doubt her looks, feeling insecure.

“My apprentice, this plan of mine is really feasible! If it fails, we won’t lose much, right? Just think it over!”

Liu Qingyun still didn’t give up.

“Get lost!”

Ling Xian’er shot him a glare and marched away without a backward glance.

“Just consider it!”

Liu Qingyun followed her, still hopeful.

……

At that moment, Xiao Yang was walking down the main street, looking for an inn to stay at.

Just then, the people from Qingyang Sword Sect finally arrived.

Jiang Ting and the others learned from two disciples of the Shifang Qimen guarding the city gate that their Senior Brother, Xiao Yang, was in town, and they were overjoyed.

“I knew Senior Brother was powerful; he wouldn’t be in any danger!”

Jiang Ting cried tears of joy.

Previously, under pressure from Ming He, she had to choose between Qin Fei and Xiao Yang, so she chose Qin Fei out of pity.

While Xiao Yang was taken away by Ming He and Yin Yue.

She thought Xiao Yang was much stronger than Qin Fei and had more experience wandering the world, so his chances of escaping from the two formidable foes were definitely higher than Qin Fei.

Indeed, she was right.

Senior Brother had escaped from those two big bad guys.

“I need to see Senior Brother immediately and explain. I don’t want him to misunderstand!”

Jiang Ting urged anxiously.

“Calm down!”

Transmission Elder spoke sternly.

Beside him, Qin Fei could only curse Ming He and Yin Yue for being trash, failing to kill off Xiao Yang.

He never imagined that Ming He and Yin Yue had already been slain by Xiao Yang, their heads reduced to ash.

In fact, their heads were neatly packed in a wooden box, waiting for Qin Fei’s birthday to be presented to him as a “gift.”

After a short while, Li Fanyin even personally came out to welcome Transmission Elder and their group into Nine Heavens City.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qitian, Ling Daochen, and the others had already returned to Qingyang Sword Sect.

The team from Qingyang Sword Sect participating in the A-Zhi competition was still led by Transmission Elder.

At this moment, the city lord of Nine Heavens City, Li Gaitian, had entered secluded meditation for healing.

The affairs within the city were managed by his daughter, Li Fanyin.

……

Xiao Yang truly didn’t expect to run into familiar faces right after encountering Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er when he spotted someone he recognized, walking toward him with an incredibly beautiful woman.

“Are you Chu Guixi or Chu Guiyuan?”

Xiao Yang looked at the guy in front of him.

“What?”

The man was taken aback.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he launched a punch at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang extended his right hand, grabbing the incoming fist effortlessly.

He felt an incredibly overwhelming force explode from the man’s punch.

Xiao Yang stood firm like a mountain, while the opponent staggered back half a step.

People around them recoiled in terror, causing chaos on the street.

“So, you’re Chu Guiyuan!”

In just one move, Xiao Yang realized that the person before him was indeed Chu Guiyuan, the Holy Son of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

After all, Chu Guixi didn’t possess such strength.

The man before him was the one who snatched away his brother’s woman.

Chu Guiyuan remained silent, directly attacking Xiao Yang.

This guy knew his secret, and he had to die!

Few people knew he had a twin brother.

Chu Guiyuan threw another punch at Xiao Yang.

“Hmph!”

Xiao Yang chuckled lightly, returning the favor with a punch of his own.

“Bang!”

A dull thud resonated as the overwhelming force radiated outward, sending people staggering in all directions, terrified.

“Who dares to attack in my Nine Heavens City?”

A sharp shout echoed.

At the sound, Xiao Yang frowned; she was here.

“Senior Brother, it’s really you?”

Soon, a shocked exclamation followed.
