Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 195: Lin Xuan’s Gift!

When Ye Qingwu saw this, her expression changed. She hadn’t prepared a gift either.

She asked a few of her companions, "Did you all prepare gifts?"

The young geniuses shook their heads. "No, the Pavilion Master said our younger generation didn’t need to present gifts."

Alas, it’s over. We’ve been completely outdone, Ye Qingwu sighed. The Spirit Wine they had offered earlier couldn’t compare to their rival’s, and now their younger members had no gifts to present. It was a comprehensive defeat at the hands of Star Pavilion.

It seemed that they wouldn’t be receiving any Spiritual Artifacts this time. Even if they did, the quality probably wouldn’t be high.

Star Pavilion, on the other hand, had clearly put in a great deal of effort and might just obtain several powerful weapons. In that case, they would hold an absolute advantage at the upcoming Hidden Dragon Gathering.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master sighed, and the others despaired.

But at that moment, Lin Xuan spoke up. "You didn’t prepare gifts? I actually have one."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lin Xuan.

"You really prepared something?" Ye Qingwu asked, surprised.

The elders chimed in, "Excellent! Hurry and present it! Perhaps you can save some of our face."

The Wangyue Pavilion Master was more cautious. "First, tell us what gift you’ve prepared," she said. "If the quality isn’t high, it’s better not to present it at all."

Giving an ordinary gift would only lead to more humiliation.

Lin Xuan smiled. "Pavilion Master, rest assured. My gift is of very high quality and will surely satisfy the Manor Master of Sword Casting Manor."

"Really?" Everyone was incredibly curious about what Lin Xuan’s gift could be.

Just as they were about to ask for details, cries of astonishment came from the front. The Wangyue Pavilion Master and the others had to pause their questions and turn to look. The next moment, they too gasped in amazement.

It turned out that the treasures brought out by the younger generation members, Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang, were also exceptionally rare.

Shangguan Hao presented a box. When he opened it, a black stone lay inside.

Tieyun exclaimed, "That’s Black Gold!"

A clamor went through the crowd.

"What? Black Gold?"

"That’s an extremely precious metal!"

"Don’t be fooled by its small size; its value is astounding."

"You could even say it’s priceless. No matter how much money you offer, you might not be able to buy it."

"Damn, the younger generation of Star Pavilion prepared gifts too?"

"They’ve thought of everything."

The members of the other families and sects cried out in surprise. However, the faces of those from pavilions like Tianyang and Purple Mist turned ugly. They cursed under their breath, calling Star Pavilion despicable for telling them the younger generation didn’t need to prepare gifts, only to secretly prepare their own and catch everyone off guard.

"Dammit, did any of you prepare gifts?"

"No, we didn’t."

The young disciples of the two major pavilions looked grim. It seemed Star Pavilion had completely stolen the show this time.

Following Shangguan Hao, Leng Rushuang brought out a treasure of her own. It was a Spirit Medicine, an incredibly precious Snow Lotus known as the Celestial Lake Snow Lotus. It too was invaluable.

The crowd gasped in endless amazement. Even the people from Sword Casting Manor were surprised. They acknowledged that Star Pavilion was truly the foremost pavilion of the Heavenly Dao Institute, possessing immense strength far beyond what Wangyue Pavilion could compare to.

"Very thoughtful. Your Star Pavilion is very thoughtful," the Iron Hand Manor Master said happily. He had his men collect the gifts, then smiled and said, "Star Pavilion Master, I’d like to have a private chat with you later."

"No problem." The Star Pavilion Master beamed, sighing in relief. It seemed the Manor Master was very pleased. At this banquet, he had truly outshone everyone. All the other families and sects combined couldn’t hold a candle to him.

Just you wait. Our Star Pavilion is about to receive a great many precious weapons, he thought, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

He then turned to survey his surroundings, his gaze locking onto a certain corner.

"Well, well, Wangyue Pavilion. Why are you all sitting in the corner?" he called out. "Is it because your disciples didn’t prepare any gifts, and you’re too embarrassed to sit at the main tables?"

Damn it! He’s doing this on purpose. The Star Pavilion Master is absolutely doing this on purpose! The Wangyue Pavilion Master clenched her fists. So many young disciples from other families and sects hadn’t brought gifts. Why single out their Wangyue Pavilion? This was clearly targeting them.

Sure enough, the members of Sword Casting Manor all turned to stare at them.

At this time, Shangguan Hao also chimed in, "Ye Qingwu, don’t tell me you really didn’t prepare any gifts? You didn’t put any thought into it at all."

Leng Rushuang added, "Don’t blame them. Wangyue Pavilion isn’t strong enough. They probably don’t have any presentable treasures anyway."

Ye Qingwu and the others trembled with rage. They were being harshly shamed and humiliated in public. What was most infuriating was that they couldn’t retaliate.

This is too frustrating, too suffocating.

Some disciples were so humiliated they started to cry. The elders hung their heads in shame. It was utterly mortifying. They desperately wanted to just get up and leave, but doing so would mean completely offending Sword Casting Manor. They couldn’t go; they could only stay here and endure the humiliation.

"Who says we didn’t prepare a gift?" Just then, Lin Xuan stood up. "We prepared one too. We just haven’t had the chance to bring it out yet."

At these words, everyone froze.

The Star Pavilion Master was stunned.

Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang were stunned.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master was stunned.

Ye Qingwu was stunned.

Does Lin Xuan really have a treasure? What is it?

The members of the other families and sects were equally stunned. In that instant, all eyes were on Lin Xuan.

"It’s him!" someone exclaimed.

"He’s here too."

"I wonder what kind of treasure he can bring out."

A buzz of discussion spread through the crowd. They were no strangers to Lin Xuan. Not long ago, his name had become famous throughout the Great Xia Country.

It’s that boy, Iron Mountain and Tieyun also fixed their cold gazes on Lin Xuan. This brat had played them for fools before. They didn’t expect him to dare to stand out now. They were curious to see what kind of gift he could possibly offer.

"Oh? You prepared a gift?" the Star Pavilion Master sneered. "Then bring it out. Let us see what it is."

"Yes, bring it out and let us broaden our horizons," Shangguan Hao echoed.

They weren’t particularly concerned. So what if Lin Xuan had prepared a gift? It certainly couldn’t be better than theirs. Even the carefully prepared gifts of Wangyue Pavilion couldn’t compare to theirs, let alone something from a mere disciple like Lin Xuan. He couldn’t possibly have anything impressive to show.

The others were also extremely curious about what gift Lin Xuan could produce.

The people from Wangyue Pavilion, however, grew nervous. If Lin Xuan’s gift was ordinary, it would be better not to present it at all. Otherwise, they would face even more ridicule.

Lin Xuan strode forward. As he walked, he announced, "This gift of mine is something incredible. It’s an extremely precious treasure. Let me put it this way: all of Star Pavilion’s treasures combined can’t compare to the one I have."

His words caused an uproar.

So precious!

The members of Star Pavilion were furious. Damn it, is this brat provoking us?

"Insolent!" Shangguan Hao scoffed.

"Foolish," Leng Rushuang said coldly. "Every treasure we brought out is invaluable. What do you possibly have that can compare?"

The Star Pavilion Master’s face grew even more somber. This brat wants to humiliate us? What a joke!

He said icily, "Such arrogant words at such a young age. I want to see what kind of treasure you can produce. If it can’t compare to ours, then don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson in public."

As he finished speaking, a chilling killing intent surfaced in his eyes. He had wanted to deal with Lin Xuan for a long time. Now, the opportunity had finally arrived.
