After inspecting the diagram, Wu Xiaotian was eventually teleported out of that place, appearing near the entrance of the secret realm, the first thing greeting him being the clash between two experts of the Ascension Realm, the residual power from the exchange between the two bearing down on all the people around him.
As one of the Ascension Realm experts saw Wu Xiaotian’s figure, his figure immediately shoots towards him, surprising the other expert as he even if he doesn’t think much of the figure, he never expected that they would stoop so low and attack a junior several realms lower than them.
Looking at the figure though, Wu Xiaotian immediately realizes that this is the useless husband that Li Yan is always complaining about. Looking at the young figure, he couldn’t help but experience disgust as he never expected anyone to be shameless enough to pick a fight against someone weaker, not to mention so much younger than them.
“Kid!!! How dare you do that to my disciple!!! DIE!!!” after hearing the words from the disciple of his sect, Hong Lei starts developing immense hatred towards Wu Xiaotian, not to mention the worry of him being too powerful, just being powerful enough to overwhelm his disciple even if the two of them were suppressed under the same realm is enough for him to place a death warrant on top of the young man’s head.
“Hong Lei, cease whatever the fuck you’re trying to do…” the other Ascension Realm expert though, appears right in front of the young-looking man, gripping Hong Lei’s fist tightly, preventing him from moving any closer to the young man.
Trying to struggle again, the other expert starts getting annoyed as he speaks again, “Do you really want to fight me that badly?”
As the other expert said those words, a boundless aura starts coming out of his body, a sense of oppression coming out of him causing not only the younger generation, but also those of the same age and strength as him to feel scared, as if they’re facing a ferocious beast that just woke up from its slumber.
“A-advance state Ascension Realm!!!” Hong Lei stuttered speaking as he realizes the strength of the man in front of him, taking multiple steps back as his opponent let go of his hands.
“Hua Jingxian, you better not regret whatever you’re doing, if that man interferes ─” seemingly trying to intimidate his opponent, Hong Lei starts speaking, only for him to get cut short and terrified by the reply of the other expert.
“Ah that man? My old man is talking to him right now apparently” the other expert replied as he yawned while facing Hong Lei.
“H-he w-what?” hearing the reply, Hong Lei starts getting flustered, the tone in his voice starting to get more panicked the more he speaks.
“What? You think I’m joking? Go on, try to contact that great backer of yours, see if he has the guts to leave my old man in the void alone” the other expert taunted causing Hong Lei to frown in frustration, as he is well aware of how much powerful his opponent’s old man is compared to his backer.
“Fine!!! This is not over yet, kid, you will regret doing that to my disciple!!!” the young-looking man said as he took out a giant flying boat from his spatial ring, bringing all the disciples of his sect in it before they start moving towards a certain direction, not even concerning himself about the two ladies looking at Wu Xiaotian from the distance.
‘Mhm, definitely the trash that Yan’er describes him to be’ he thought to himself as he looks at Li Yan and Hong Lian smiling at him as if completely unconcerned of the young-looking man being humiliated by another person.
“Damn kid, the moment I come here to pick up my brat, she immediately begs me to help you get out of your sticky situation, it better be worth it!!!” while looking at the two, Wu Xiaotian was startled as the voice of the other expert resounded near his ears, a loud and cheerful voice completely different from the cold and serious one previously going through and ringing his ears.
Scanning the figure now facing him, he was quite surprised as despite his current height reaching six foot and ten inches or near one-hundred and ninety-five centimeters, the expert is not falling even a bit behind him, staring directly at him eye to eye as they stand in the same height.
The man, looking forged by time appears to be quite the charmer in his youth, with sharp eyes and sword-like eyebrows, a short clean hair complementing his face covered with clearly trimmed facial hair, the bearing of a father completely shown in his appearance.
“Pops, stop shouting, lil bro Tian’s ears might bleed if you continue like that, besides, you’re losing quite the reputation for acting like this in public” out of nowhere, an empress-like lady appeared reprimanding the expert, making the expert fix his bearing as he inspects the young man in front of him, repeatedly nodding while he scans him as if giving him some kind of approval.
“Say, young man…” the expert said as he moves beside Wu Xiaotian, placing his arms around the young man’s shoulder as if he’s a long-time friend before he continues, “Why don’t you marry my little Xian here? She’s quite the beauty, isn’t she?”
“Pops!!!” hearing her father matching her with her sworn brother, Hua Xian’er couldn’t help but blush furiously, however, the thought of being with the immortal-like young man refuses to disappear in her mind.
“Erm… uncle…” as Wu Xiaotian struggles to address the man beside him, the man immediately notices it and introduces himself to the young man.
“Hua Jingxian, you can call me uncle Jingxian if it makes you more comfortable” the expert said while looking at the young man with an approval filled eyes, as if he saw some good thing that he must not let others grab.
“Uncle Jingxian, I… pretty much know all about big sis, including that…” Wu Xiaotian continues, seeing if he could communicate with the middle-aged man without saying everything as it might just be the thing that ruin Hua Xian’er’s reputation.
“I-I see… you’re aware of that as well huh… then there’s no helping it… I’m sorry for trying to trick you like that….” The middle-aged man despondently replied looking completely hopeless as she imagines his child growing old without a husband beside her, and this makes him tear up in pity.
“Hey pops!! I’m listening you know!?” no longer able to listen to their conversation, Hua Xian’er interrupted while parting the two, weirdly annoyed with them sympathizing with each other as if it is a jab towards her.
“On the sidenote, Uncle Jingxian, do you mind helping me with selling these things?” seeing that Hua Xian’er is about to explode, Wu Xiaotian masterfully diverts the subject and starts explaining the jade slip to Hua Jingxian, and at the end of the explanation, the eyes of the expert is practically glowing with spirit stones filling them, the excitement in his voice evident as he laughs while praising the idea of the Wu Xiaotian and Hua Xian’er, not forgetting his side remarks of them being a great pair made in heaven.
