Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body-Chapter 397 - Filled With the Sme

If Gu Xi and the other two had not come to participate in the Grand Sect Competition, but she had brought them to this hall…

Thinking of this, the maid could not help but tremble slightly.

Seeing the maid’s somewhat guilty look, that person was even more certain that Gu Xi and the other two were the kind of irrelevant people he had mentioned.

He immediately said, “Since these people are all irrelevant people, why don’t you quickly drive them out of this place? If the matters discussed here are spread out by some irrelevant people, if our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion can’t achieve good results in the competition, can you afford this responsibility?”

Hearing this, the maid’s legs went weak, and she immediately knelt down on the ground. She hurriedly bowed to that person and said with a sobbing tone, “These people are all brought by Pavilion Master Tong. Most likely, they are here to participate in the Grand Sect Competition…”

“Most likely? Humph! Those who can participate in the competition are all elite disciples of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Why haven’t I seen these people before? Moreover, are you blind? They are not wearing the clothes of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!”

That person snorted coldly. Even though he knew that Gu Xi and the others were brought by Tong Shan, he still did not give up. Instead, he became even more unreasonable and made things difficult for the maid.

The maid stammered and did not know what to say. Helplessly, she could only turn her head to look at Gu Xi and the other two not far behind her. At this moment, her eyes were already filled with tears, and the depths of her eyes were filled with a pleading look.

Seeing this, even Qing Zhu, who did not like to meddle in other people’s business, could not help but frown. She first glanced at Gu Xi, who had an indifferent expression on his face, and then her gaze fell on the few people not far away. She said indifferently, “What does it have to do with you whether the three of us are here to participate in the competition or not?”

That person clearly did not expect that Qing Zhu would actually dare to refute his words in public. He was slightly startled, and immediately, he opened his mouth and spoke in a deep voice, “As a disciple of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion and a participant of this Grand Sect Competition, I have the right to make all of you scram out of this place!”

“Alright, Zhang Zhan, can you pipe down?”

Seeing that the matter was about to escalate, a woman hurriedly tried to mediate the situation. It was obvious that she did not want things to turn ugly. “Regardless of whether the three of them are here to participate in the competition or not, they are guests personally brought here by Pavilion Master Tong. Don’t be so rude.”

Hearing this, the man called Zhang Zhan snorted. He did not continue to make things difficult for the maid and Gu Xi. He turned around and sat down.

The woman bowed to Gu Xi and the other two and said apologetically in a soft voice, “Senior Brother Zhang was a little too extreme just now. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Qing Zhu glanced at him indifferently and did not intend to continue paying attention to him. Little Nine did not pay attention to Zhang Zhan’s provocation from the start. On the contrary, Gu Xi, who had not opened his mouth to speak, shrugged his shoulders. He smiled and said, “Of course, you don’t have to pay attention to the sound of mosquitoes and flies.”

As soon as she said this, the hall instantly fell into a short silence.

The woman’s apologetic smile had already frozen on her face. On the other hand, Zhang Zhan’s expression instantly became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

“Say that again?!” Zhang Zhan suddenly stood up and pointed at Gu Xi as he shouted.

“What? Are your ears not working?” Gu Xi glanced at Zhang Zhan indifferently, his words full of disdain.

“You’re f*cking courting death!”

Faced with such a provocation, Zhang Zhan, who was already hot-tempered, naturally could not bear it. He slammed the table fiercely, and a faint pressure surged out from his body at the same time. It was obvious that he was prepared to fight.

At the same time, in the depths of the Lanjiang Branch.

In a secluded courtyard, two people wearing the clothes of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion sat opposite each other.

“I really didn’t expect that it was you who personally escorted the disciple here this time,” a middle-aged man with slightly white hair said with a laugh.

Tong Shan, who was opposite him, also smiled and explained, “The disciples of our Jingyang Branch participating in the Grand Sect Competition this time are not our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion disciples.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was astonished.

“I’m sure you already know about the affairs of the Hall of Flowing Light, right?” Tong Shan finished the tea in front of him in one gulp and asked with a strange expression.

The middle-aged man nodded. Although Lanjiang City was a thousand miles away from the Hall of Flowing Light, the news of the Hall of Flowing Light closing their sect was still widely known. After all, it was difficult not find out about such an unusual matter.

Even though this was the case, the people in the world only knew that the Hall of Flowing Light had closed its sect. However, they were still clueless about the exact reason or what had happened.

Looking across the entire Eastern Continent, it was likely that the only people who knew the reason why the Hall of Flowing Light had closed its sect were the instigator, Gu Xi and the other two, as well as Tong Shan and that woman, who had an ambiguous understanding of this matter.

“The three people that I brought are most likely related to the sect closure of the Hall of Flowing Light…” Tong Shan surveyed his surroundings and immediately began to softly describe some of the things that he knew. The expression of the middle-aged man in front of him also became increasingly surprised. In the end, he became incomparably shocked.

“Are you serious?” The middle-aged man inhaled a deep breath of air and forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart.

Just the three of them had caused the Hall of Flowing Light to close its sect. If this sort of thing were to spread out, no one would choose to believe it. After all, it was really too unbelievable.

“How can I lie about such a matter?” Tong Shan nodded his head with a serious expression. It did not seem like he was joking at all.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and immediately stood up. He asked in a deep voice, “Where are the three of them now?”

“They’re waiting in the hall.”

“Go!”

After saying that, the two of them stood up and left in a hurry. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

…

On the other side, in the hall.

The smell of gunpowder in the air became more and more obvious. The maids were already so scared that they did not even dare to breathe loudly. They were afraid that if they made any noise, they would become the fuse of a battle.

At this moment, Zhang Zhan was staring straight at Gu Xi. His eyes were wide open as if he wanted to swallow Gu Xi alive. As a top disciple of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the Eastern Continent, he had never been insulted by others!

“Apologize to me right now, and maybe I can let you off the hook. Otherwise… you will have to pay the price for what you said!”

Zhang Zhan took a deep breath. He did not lose his mind and choose to fight because of Gu Xi’s words, but he was on the verge of going berserk.
