Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 439: Throw Lin Xuan Out?

Lin Xuan is a fourth-grade Alchemy Master!

When these words were heard, everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

What did this kid just say? That he’s a fourth-grade Alchemy Master? What a joke! A fourth-grade Alchemy Master is revered as a master. You need to cultivate the Alchemy Dao for decades to even have a chance of becoming one. Which fourth-grade Alchemy Master isn’t some gray-haired old man? And you, a young brat not even twenty years old, dare to claim you’re a fourth-grade Alchemy Master? Even if you want to brag, you can’t just make things up. This is just too outrageous!

Ye Qingwu’s eyes widened when she heard this. She was frantic with anxiety. Oh dear, why is Junior Brother Lin bragging again? This is no time for boasting!

She stomped her foot and said, "Junior Brother Lin, stop joking! Hurry up and invite the real Alchemy Master in."

"I’m not joking. I truly am a fourth-grade Alchemy Master," he replied. "And I came alone. There’s no one else."

What? You didn’t bring another fourth-grade Alchemy Master?

Ye Qingwu was dumbfounded, and her heart sank.

Beside her, Ye Ruxue seemed to understand what was happening. She said coldly, "Third Sister, is this the fourth-grade Alchemy Master you told me about? Is this how you deceive us? I know you don’t want to marry Fang Fan, but you can’t lie for this reason. Do you realize this will delay Father’s treatment? You could be the death of him!"

"No, it’s not like that!" Ye Qingwu was bewildered. "Second Sister, let me explain!"

She then turned to Lin Xuan and pleaded, "Junior Brother Lin, I’m begging you, please stop joking with me."

"I really am not joking." Lin Xuan’s expression was completely serious. "Senior Sister, don’t worry. I truly am a fourth-grade Alchemy Master. Where is Clan Leader Ye? Let me see him. I’ll refine a pill for him right now."

Hearing this, Ye Qingwu burst into tears on the spot. She cried inconsolably. She had trusted Lin Xuan so much, yet he had tricked her!

If Lin Xuan didn’t bring a fourth-grade Alchemy Master, does that mean I have to marry Fang Fan? Do I have to marry that scum? My life will be ruined!

At this thought, her sobs grew even more sorrowful.

Ye Ruxue’s expression was hostile. She stared at Lin Xuan and said, "Is this how you usually deceive my sister? You’re despicable! Kid, stay away from my sister. And get out of the Ye Family. You’re not welcome here."

The other guards also shook their heads and sighed. They thought Ye Qingwu was far too foolish and naive to believe Lin Xuan.

Actually expecting him to bring a fourth-grade Alchemy Master? What a joke. This kid has probably never even seen a fourth-grade Alchemy Master in his entire life.

"Third Sister, stop crying," Ye Ruxue consoled. "Go and get dressed. Fang Fan will be here to propose soon. Once you marry him, the Fang family will naturally help us with the pill refinement."

"Fang Fan is coming to propose?" Lin Xuan laughed heartily. "Fang Fan won’t be coming."

"What do you mean?" Ye Ruxue frowned. The Fang family was a first-rate family; how could they go back on their word? Besides, Fang Fan had liked Ye Qingwu for a long time. Why wouldn’t he come to propose?

"He can’t come. He’s already in hell," Lin Xuan said coldly. "Fang Fan is dead. How can he propose?"

What? Fang Fan is dead?!

Ye Ruxue was startled, and her shock quickly turned to fury.

"Nonsense! Fang Fan is the young master of the Fang family, a first-rate family on Dragon Island! Who would dare to challenge the Fang family? Who would dare to kill Fang Fan?!"

Ye Ruxue simply didn’t believe it. She glared at Lin Xuan, gritting her teeth. "You’ve toyed with us again and again! Do you take us for fools? Someone, throw him out!"

The guards advanced with cold expressions. They also felt Lin Xuan had gone too far, spouting such utter nonsense.

You’re a fourth-grade Alchemy Master? And Fang Fan is dead? Impossible. What a joke! Only a fool would believe such words.

They were about to act when Ye Qingwu tearfully stopped them. "Don’t harm Junior Brother Lin!"

"Third Sister, he’s deceived you like this, and you’re still defending him? You’re too naive, too kind-hearted! If it were up to me, I’d break both his legs and knock out all his teeth to see if he ever dares to boast again!"

"No, you can’t touch him!" Ye Qingwu wiped away her tears and said, "Junior Brother Lin might like to brag, but he’s incredibly accomplished. At his young age, he’s already a third-grade Alchemy Master. He’s a genius of the Pill Tower, a Core Disciple of our Heavenly Dao Academy, the Champion Marquis of the Great Xia Country, and General Long Ming of the Dragon Ming Legion!"

What?

Hearing this, the entire crowd was stunned. The guards’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

This kid has such a significant background?!

For a moment, they didn’t dare make a move.

Even Ye Ruxue was taken aback. This kid is that powerful? Impossible. Third Sister, you can’t lie to me just to protect this kid. Have you been around him so long that you’ve learned to boast too? This kid looks so ordinary. How could he possibly be so powerful?

Ye Ruxue didn’t believe it. Even the top geniuses on Dragon Island weren’t that impressive.

Just then, an exclamation came from outside. "The Fang family is here!"

Ye Ruxue couldn’t be bothered with Lin Xuan anymore. She quickly grabbed Ye Qingwu and said, "Come on, let’s go meet the people from the Fang family."

Ye Qingwu stumbled as she was pulled along, looking utterly helpless. But Lin Xuan said, "Don’t worry. Fang Fan is dead. The Fang family won’t be coming to propose."

「Meanwhile」

The entire Ye Family was in an uproar. Madam Ye was even leading a group of elders to personally greet them. Halfway there, they ran into Ye Qingwu’s group.

Madam Ye waved and said, "You’re just in time. Quick, come with me to welcome the Fang family."

"Why do you look so awful, girl? Go back and freshen up!" Seeing Ye Qingwu’s state, Madam Ye immediately frowned. Today is the joyous day of the proposal; you can’t bring shame to our Ye Family.

"Mother, I don’t want to marry into the Fang family," Ye Qingwu refused again.

Madam Ye’s face darkened. "How can you be so thoughtless, girl? Right now, only the Fang family can save us. Their condition is that you marry into their family. Now you say you don’t want to? Do you intend to stand by and watch your father die?"

"Ruxue, quickly take your sister to get ready."

"Come on, Third Sister!" Ye Ruxue pulled Ye Qingwu and turned to leave.

Ye Qingwu’s little face was filled with grievance, and she started crying again.

But just then, Lin Xuan blocked their path. "There’s no need to get ready. The Fang family won’t be coming to propose."

"And who are you?" Only then did Madam Ye notice Lin Xuan, and she frowned.

"This is my junior brother, Lin Xuan, from the Heavenly Dao Academy," Ye Qingwu said quickly.

Madam Ye snorted. "Young Master Lin, why do you say the Fang family won’t be coming to propose?"

Lin Xuan smiled. "Because Fang Fan is dead. How could he come to propose?"

What? Fang Fan is dead? Madam Ye was taken aback. How did I not know? When did this happen? Who killed Fang Fan?

Beside her, Ye Ruxue said, "Mother, don’t believe him. This kid is just a huge braggart. He even claimed to be a fourth-grade Alchemy Master. Not a single word out of his mouth is true."

So that’s how it is. Madam Ye breathed a sigh of relief. That’s what I thought. With Young Master Fang’s status, who would dare to kill him? Her face turned sullen. "Throw this boy out! Don’t let him delay the proposal!"

The surrounding guards approached.

Ye Qingwu quickly stood in front of Lin Xuan, pleading, "Mother, don’t lay a hand on Junior Brother Lin!"

Madam Ye’s face darkened, and she was just about to speak.

But at that moment, the butler rushed in frantically. "Madam, it’s terrible! Something terrible has happened!"

Everyone paused.

Madam Ye frowned even deeper. "What’s so terrible? Today is a day of great joy! What nonsense are you spouting?"

As Clan Leader Ye’s wife, Madam Ye held an exalted status. Her anger was enough to frighten the butler into silence. Everyone else quieted down as well.

Madam Ye waved her hand. "Alright, speak. What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, the butler cautiously said, "The Fang family sent a messenger. They said... they won’t be coming to propose!"
