1359 Meeting Prime Emperor Jiuxiao Again (2)
Zhan Wuya didn’t believe that Zhan Jianxue didn’t understand his intentions.
However, he also knew that Zhan Jianxue was certain that he wouldn’t mention breaking off the engagement in front of so many people.
She did it on purpose.
Zhan Wuya sighed and said, “Is Mentor at home? If Mentor is at home, I’ll bring my friends to see him now.” Sheng Xiao, Yu Huang, and Ye Qingyang had powerful backgrounds, so he believed that even if Mentor knew that they were here, he would take the time to entertain them personally.
As the little princess of the War God Clan, Zhan Jianxue wasn’t an idiot. Although she hated Yu Huang, she knew that Yu Huang and the others had special identities, so it was only right for her father to meet them.
“Yes, I’ll bring you there now.”
Zhan Jianxue turned around and brought the four of them into the inner city towards the Patriarch’s residence at the back of the deserted island.
Most of the buildings in the Divine Miracle Continent were modern high-rise buildings, but the inner city of the War God Clan was built in a retro style. All the pavilions were beautiful and exquisite. When Zhan Jianxue brought them to the Patriarch’s Mansion, Zhan Jiuxiao had already gotten someone to prepare tea and pastries.
As the top expert on the continent, the entire deserted island was under Zhan Jiuxiao’s surveillance. From the moment Yu Huang and the others stepped onto the deserted island, Zhan Jiuxiao discovered everything.
“Mentor!” After Zhan Wuya put away his battle spear beast form, he bowed from outside the hall and said respectfully, “I invited Sheng Xiao, Yu Huang, and Ye Qingyang, my three new friends, to the inner city as guests. I brought them here to see you.”
“Haha!” Zhan Jiuxiao’s hearty laughter came from the hall. “Sect Master Sheng, Miss Yu Huang, Prime Master Ye Qingyang, welcome to the inner city!” A tall and sturdy man strode out of the hall. He was wearing a buttoned jacket made from black suede. On the jacket, there was a majestic battle tiger with dark golden threads.
Zhan Jiuxiao looked to be in his forties, but his short hair was slightly white, which made him look intimidating.
This was the second time Yu Huang and the others had seen Zhan Jiuxiao.
The first time they met was during the intercontinental finals. The first time Yu Huang condensed the Star Arrow, she almost nailed Zhan Jianxue to the battle stage of the intercontinental finals. At the critical moment, Zhan Jiuxiao appeared. He grabbed the Star Arrow with his bare hands and successfully saved Zhan Jianxue’s life.
That time, Zhan Jiuxiao had revealed his powerful strength as the leader of a super clan. It also made Yu Huang and the others fear this legendary number one expert of the continent.
However, this time, Yu Huang sensed that Zhan Jiuxiao’s attitude seemed to have become calmer. The aura of a top-notch expert on his body had been restrained.
After a moment of silence, Yu Huang guessed the reason behind this—
Zhan Jiuxiao most likely knew about their actions on the Demon Beast Continent.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was a super overlord of the Demon Beast Continent. Their reputation in the three thousand worlds was even more resounding than that of the War God Clan. The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had changed dynasties, and the news of the black fox Mo Xiao ascending the throne might have already spread to the ears of the top experts of the various super Great Worlds.
Zhan Jiuxiao might have found out that Yu Huang had a deep relationship with Mo Xiao and realized that their true backer was the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, so he changed his attitude.
Tsk.
Background was indeed very important.
“Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, you’re welcome.” Sheng Xiao said politely. “I hope you can forgive us coming uninvited and disturbing you.”
Zhan Jiuxiao waved his hand and said, “Sect Master Sheng, you’re too polite. For you to have such achievements at such a young age really makes us old fellows feel inferior. You guys are willing to come to the War God Clan as guests because you think highly of the War God Clan.”
Zhan Jiuxiao said to Zhan Jianxue, “Xiaoxue, instruct the kitchen that tonight, I will hold a banquet in the banquet hall to entertain the three young friends who have come from afar.”
Zhan Jianxue asked hesitantly, “Daddy, are we setting up a banquet in the banquet hall?”
Although Sheng Xiao and the others were young Beast Tamer geniuses and he and Yu Huang were related to ancient overlords, the Black Qing Sky Dragon Race and the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan had been extinct for a long time. Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang probably wouldn’t be able to regain their former glory.
No matter how strong they were, they were only three cultivators without any background.
Her father was such a noble and powerful person. Why did he lower himself to entertain the three of them?
Zhan Jiuxiao glanced at Zhan Jianxue warningly and said, “What, you’re still angry with Miss Yu Huang for defeating you that day? Xiaoxue, your skills are inferior to hers, so you should cultivate diligently after losing the battle. It’s cowardly to blame others instead. As my daughter, is this all you’re capable of?”
Although Zhan Jianxue was arrogant and domineering, she never dared to anger Zhan Jiuxiao.
She could hear the displeasure in her father’s voice, so she didn’t dare to say another word and walked towards the kitchen obediently.
After Zhan Jianxue left, Zhan Wuya shook his head and sighed as she said to Yu Huang, “Miss Yu Huang, although my daughter is a few years older than you, because I lost my daughter in my early years, and this girl is the only bloodline her mother left in this world, I’ve doted on her since she was young and spoiled her.”
“After I heard what you said that day in Cang Lang City, I found out that this girl had actually done so many wrong things in secret. She bullied her cousin, deceived Wuya, and even severely injured you in the Doomsday Battlefield… Her actions made me realize that if I didn’t teach her a lesson, this child would be ruined for the rest of her life. After returning home, I locked her in the Netherworld Chamber and let her suffer the punishment of the Divine Tiger’s whip before letting her out.”
