Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 455: Shocking! Disciple of the True Dragon Sect!

The crowd was stunned. They hadn’t expected that Qin Huanxiang and her group could actually dine at Cloud Water Residence. It was unbelievable!

Madam Ye couldn’t believe it. The other party’s family was less influential than the Ye Family, so how could they possibly qualify to go to Cloud Water Residence? They must be lying.

"Go on, keep bragging!" Madam Ye snorted.

Qin Huanxiang, however, responded with a smile. "Oh dear, I forgot to tell you. My son-in-law, Lin Bahuang, has already caught the eye of the True Dragon Sect. Very soon, he’ll join them and become one of their disciples! With his status, isn’t it perfectly normal to dine at Cloud Water Residence? Once he joins the True Dragon Sect, if an elder takes an interest in him and accepts him as a Direct Disciple, his status will be completely different. Who knows, we might even get to go to the highest-level venue, the Mist Rain Immortal Realm."

The surrounding guests exclaimed in shock. "What? He’s joining the True Dragon Sect?"

"That’s unbelievable!"

They looked at Lin Bahuang, their faces filled with envy.

The True Dragon Sect’s status was even higher than the Fang Family’s. The Fang Family was merely a first-rate family, whereas the True Dragon Sect was a top-tier power on Dragon Island—a true hegemon!

Qin Huanxiang continued, "Your Ye Family is a second-rate family, isn’t it? Supposedly quite strong. So why did you only book the Lotus Wind Pavilion instead of Cloud Water Residence? It couldn’t be that your Clan Leader Ye’s injuries aren’t healing, could it? It couldn’t be that the Ye Family is on the decline? No way, that can’t be right!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Ye Family looked grim. Ye Ruxue gritted her teeth. Damn it, she’s doing this on purpose! She’s absolutely doing it on purpose to humiliate us! How detestable!

Madam Ye’s expression was terrifyingly dark. She hated Qin Huanxiang to the bone, wishing she could just rip her mouth to shreds. However, she couldn’t possibly start a fight in such a public place. She had no choice but to invent an excuse. "I originally intended to book Cloud Water Residence, but there were no tables left. I couldn’t get a reservation, so we had to settle for the Lotus Wind Pavilion for now."

This was clearly a fabricated excuse, and anyone else would have dropped the subject. Qin Huanxiang, however, wasn’t finished. With a look of feigned surprise, she exclaimed, "Oh, no, surely not! Junior Sister, you’re the matriarch of the Ye Family! How could you possibly hold a banquet at the Lotus Wind Pavilion? They say its surroundings are beautiful, like a paradise on earth. But no matter how beautiful, it’s still just a small pavilion! How could you host a birthday banquet in a tiny pavilion? Isn’t that a bit too shabby? Why don’t I do this for you? I’ll give you our reservation at Cloud Water Residence so you can host your birthday banquet there. Otherwise, when I see our Master, he’ll surely scold me for being thoughtless and failing to protect my Junior Sister’s honor."

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye’s face turned pale with fury, and she trembled with rage. She had planned to spend a fortune hosting a banquet at the Mist Rain Pavilion precisely to maintain the Ye Family’s prestige and status. But who could have imagined that she would be so thoroughly humiliated in public? What would the surrounding guests think now? They would doubt the Ye Family’s strength and might even take advantage of their perceived weakness. Was the position she had worked so hard to maintain for the Ye Family going to be destroyed just like this? This is infuriating!

I really want to just slap that Qin Huanxiang to death! The angrier Madam Ye became, the darker her vision grew. Her chest felt tight, and she nearly fainted.

But just at that moment, Lin Xuan walked over. He smiled and said, "Madam Ye, have you been too busy lately and misremembered? Didn’t you ask me to book the Mist Rain Immortal Realm? I’ve already taken care of it. This birthday banquet will be held in the Mist Rain Immortal Realm."

His words sent a shockwave through the entire venue.

Previously, the guests had been enjoying the juicy drama. While they said nothing aloud, they were all thinking the same thing: The Ye Family was truly in decline, unable to even fight back after being publicly humiliated. They figured they wouldn’t have to show the Ye Family any courtesy in the future, and some were even preparing to make a move against them.

But nobody expected such a shocking reversal. The Ye Family was going to the Mist Rain Immortal Realm? Was that for real?

At that moment, all the surrounding guests turned to look at Lin Xuan.

Who was this person? Was he telling the truth? Had the Ye Family really managed to book the Mist Rain Immortal Realm? It was simply unbelievable! It was said that not even first-rate families were qualified to enter the Mist Rain Immortal Realm.

Madam Ye was stunned as well. Her mind was reeling, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Damn it, what is this kid bluffing about? She knew Lin Xuan was trying to save face for the Ye Family, but wasn’t this boast a little too outrageous? The Mist Rain Immortal Realm! That’s the most exclusive venue in the entire Mist Rain Pavilion! Even first-rate families can’t get in, so how could he? Only a hegemon like the True Dragon Sect would likely have the qualifications to enter. This wasn’t saving the Ye Family’s face; it was an even bigger slap in the face! A lie like this will be exposed in an instant, and then our family will be even more humiliated!

And just as she expected, Qin Huanxiang burst out laughing, almost crying with mirth.

"Junior Sister, is this boy also from your Ye Family? He says the most amusing things," she jeered. "He actually said you’re going to the Mist Rain Immortal Realm? Hahaha, that’s hilarious! Does this kid even have a clue what the Mist Rain Immortal Realm represents? It’s a place only top-tier powers can enter. And he thinks he can get in? How absurd!"

Qin Huanxiang was laughing so hard tears streamed down her face. Her daughter, Qiao Yun, and Lin Bahuang were rolling their eyes, having never seen such an audacious braggart.

"Lin Xuan, shut your mouth!" Ye Ruxue stomped her foot in fury.

It’s one thing for this guy to brag on a normal day, but how dare he do it on such an important occasion? She was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she never would have brought Lin Xuan. Right now, she just wanted to kick him out.

Beside them, Ye Qingwu was also startled. She hurriedly tugged on Lin Xuan’s sleeve, whispering, "Junior Brother Lin, stop bragging. Mother is already furious; don’t add fuel to the fire."

She also didn’t believe Lin Xuan could have booked the Cloud Sea Immortal Realm. Lin Xuan’s status in the Great Xia Country was indeed extraordinary, but this was Dragon Island! Reputation and status from the outside world meant nothing here. Dragon Island only recognized its local hegemons, like the True Dragon Sect, which was a top-tier power. On Dragon Island, Lin Xuan was a nobody. How could he possibly have booked the Mist Rain Immortal Realm?

The other guests were also rolling their eyes.

"It’s over. The Ye Family is beyond saving."

"Sigh, the Ye Family has been thoroughly disgraced this time."

"Hmph, what a posturing clown. How dare he make such a ridiculous boast?"

"I bet Madam Ye hates that kid’s guts right now."

"He’s boasted so extravagantly that he’s put Madam Ye in an impossible position."

Madam Ye glared fiercely at Lin Xuan, fury blazing in her eyes. She really just wanted to slap him to death.

Ye Qingwu quickly interjected, "Mother, don’t be angry. Junior Brother Lin meant well. He didn’t mean to brag."

"He just wants to help the Ye Family."

Trembling with rage, Madam Ye gritted her teeth and shrieked, "Take this boy and get out of my sight immediately! I don’t want to ever see him again!"

She was on the verge of losing her mind.

This time, the Ye Family’s reputation was utterly ruined!

Ye Qingwu quickly grabbed Lin Xuan. "Junior Brother Lin, let’s go for now," she urged.

Lin Xuan didn’t move.

"Go?" he asked. "Why should we go? We haven’t even entered the Mist Rain Immortal Realm yet."
