Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei as if he were an idiot.
I didn’t bother you, and you just burned incense for good luck.
And you still dare to come pick a fight with me?
You want to publicly humiliate me?
Qin Fei, oh Qin Fei, this time you’ve voluntarily walked into the lion’s den. If I don’t make you suffer, I’d be failing to respect the grand opportunity you’ve given me to torment you!
“Everyone, come witness this! If I, Xiao Yang, lose, I will let him dispose of me however he wishes; if I lose, I’ll let Qin Fei do the same, no complaints whatsoever.”
Qin Fei proclaimed loudly to the crowd.
At this moment, Lei Renjie and Zheng Fan were watching Xiao Yang with glee.
Hua Mengli quietly observed the scene.
Aren’t they brothers? What’s going on?
Hua Mengli sensed the thick hostility Qin Fei was directing at Xiao Yang.
And Xiao Yang didn’t seem too keen on Qin Fei either.
The two men who came with Qin Fei had quite an interesting attitude towards Xiao Yang.
People around began to stir up trouble.
Nothing like a good show, right?
“Alright, very good!”
Xiao Yang smirked.
“Senior Brother, this time, you’re definitely going to lose.”
Qin Fei was overflowing with confidence.
He’s got the Innate Dao Body, born in tune with the celestial grand journey, capable of easily comprehending the Dao, and he’s incredibly sensitive to spiritual energy.
The incense burner that Xiao Yang bought for ten top-tier spiritual stones had no spiritual essence at all—how could it possibly be a treasure?
“Really?”
Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei with a knowing smile.
“Senior Brother, why don’t you apologize to your junior brother? Let’s just forget about the bet, how about that?”
Zheng Fan pretended to mediate.
Xiao Yang scoffed internally.
Here he is, the Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect, their Senior Brother.
Apologize publicly to that junior brother Qin Fei? Does Xiao Yang not care about his face?
Zheng Fan is pretending to mediate but actually wants to embarrass him in public!
Xiao Yang is a guy who reincarnated from a thousand years later!
If he couldn’t see through Zheng Fan’s little scheme, then he’d have wasted an entire life.
“Junior Brother, have you taken a dip in the river of stupidity?”
Xiao Yang didn’t give Zheng Fan an inch.
“Senior Brother, you—”
Zheng Fan’s expression changed; he didn’t expect Xiao Yang to embarrass him like this.
“Senior Brother, if you go on like this, we won’t help you plead your case to junior brother.”
Lei Renjie said in a low voice.
“Do I, Xiao Yang, need you to plead for me?”
Xiao Yang looked at Lei Renjie as if he were a fool.
What are these guys even thinking?
Do they think Xiao Yang is guaranteed to lose?
“Senior Brother, today, no one can save you!”
Qin Fei shot a cold glare at Xiao Yang.
He wouldn’t miss out on this golden chance to humiliate Xiao Yang.
“Junior Brother, should I call you stupid or just naive?”
Xiao Yang’s lips curled up, grinning.
“Senior Brother, I hope you can stay that defiant for a little longer.”
Qin Fei gritted his teeth, staring hard at Xiao Yang.
Hua Mengli, watching from the sidelines, looked contemplative.
Xiao Yang was so calm; could it be that incense burner truly is a treasure?
Hua Mengli thought about this and couldn’t help but glance at the seemingly ordinary incense burner in the old man’s hands.
No matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary incense burner.
Of course, the material of this incense burner was a bit unusual.
Even her dagger, sharp enough to cut through iron, couldn’t make a dent on this thing.
“Old man, how’s that thing?”
Xiao Yang asked the old man.
The old man continued examining the burner in his hands.
“Senior Brother, just admit defeat; it’s just an ordinary incense burner.”
Qin Fei said triumphantly.
“Shut up!”
The old man snapped impatiently at Qin Fei.
“Who do you think you are, daring to act up in front of us Qingyang Sword Sect disciples?”
Zheng Fan retorted angrily.
The old man ignored Zheng Fan entirely.
“You…”
Zheng Fan’s face turned red with anger from being ignored.
“What’s going on here?!”
Just then, a voice came through.
Everyone turned to see who it was and realized it was Li Fan Yin.
“It’s the Young Lady…”
“The Young Lady’s here…”
People hurriedly cleared a path.
“Greetings, Senior Sister Li…”
Zheng Fan and Lei Renjie nodded at Li Fan Yin.
Li Fan Yin was at a higher cultivation level and older than they were.
Even though they weren’t true disciples together, they still called her Senior Sister.
“Hmm!”
Li Fan Yin nodded and turned to Xiao Yang, asking, “Xiao Brother, what’s going on?”
Xiao Yang, being the Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect, was not someone she could overlook.
“Oh, it’s nothing, just a bet with my junior brother here,” Xiao Yang said nonchalantly.
“A bet?”
Li Fan Yin glanced at Qin Fei, then back at Xiao Yang, clearly intrigued.
As Li Fan Yin arrived, Hua Mengli silently slipped away.
Xiao Yang noticed Hua Mengli leaving.
Why did she sneak away?
He found it peculiar.
Hua Mengli had left just as Li Fan Yin arrived; did she want to avoid her?
Why would she want to avoid Li Fan Yin?
“Here’s the thing…”
Zheng Fan started explaining to Li Fan Yin.
“Ah, I see now!”
Li Fan Yin quickly understood what was happening.
Xiao Yang actually found a hidden gem here?
An ordinary burner was a treasure?
“What can an old fool like him discern?”
Qin Fei thought to himself, practically pressing his eyes against the burner.
He felt utterly dismissive.
“You call him an old fool?”
Li Fan Yin looked at Qin Fei, shocked.
“Isn’t he?”
Qin Fei shrugged.
No one around recognized the old man.
But, come on, he looked just like an ordinary old fool.
However, some people were already sensing something was off.
Xiao Yang watched this unfold, smiling but not saying a word.
“Haha…”
Suddenly, Li Fan Yin burst into laughter.
“You called him an old fool? Haha… that’s hilarious!”
Li Fan Yin laughed uncontrollably.
“…”
Qin Fei and his gang turned sour.
“Do you know who he is?”
Li Fan Yin asked, half-smiling, half-serious.
“A nobody; how could we know who he is!”
Qin Fei surveyed the old man again, convinced he was no big deal.
The crowd began to murmur among themselves.
“Haha…”
Just then, the old man suddenly laughed heartily.
“I see now, I see now!”
The old man laughed so loudly.
All eyes turned to him.
And then they witnessed something unbelievable.
“How can this be…”
“This…”
Everyone stared in shock at the burner in the old man’s hands.
Suddenly, the outer layer of the burner began to peel away, revealing its true form beneath.
Once the outer layer fell off, the whole burner turned crystal clear, seemingly crafted from a single piece of divine jade, radiating spiritual light, ethereal and misty, appearing like something from a realm beyond.
“This is the legendary Divine Jade Mystic Fire Immortal Furnace!”
The old man was quivering with excitement, his voice shaking.
“No… this…”
The vendor directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
What a loss!
Everyone watched in stunned silence at the burner in the old man’s hands.
Qin Fei was completely dazed.
He never dreamed that the ordinary incense burner he’d dismissed was actually a treasure—an unbelievable treasure at that.
This was the immortal furnace from legends!
“Junior Brother, you’ve lost!”
Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei, calm and collected.
