Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 459: Dragon Island Shocked! Taking Action Against Lin Xuan!

In Madam Ye’s view, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to come up with that much money.

She said, "Aren’t you friends with Chen Changsheng? Can you ask Mist Rain Pavilion for a discount?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Madam Ye, don’t worry. Just leave it to me."

Madam Ye was speechless. Is Lin Xuan getting too full of himself? Even if you’re friends with the Young Master of Misty Rain Tower, it must just be an ordinary friendship. Would they really waive the bill? If not, how are you going to pay for this extravagant meal?

At the side, Ye Ruxue snorted coldly. "Lin Xuan, you said it, so you pay for this meal. If you can’t afford it, it has nothing to do with our Ye Family."

As they were speaking, the Grand Elder of Mist Rain Pavilion returned. Everyone looked a bit tense, and Ye Qingwu was especially worried.

But Lin Xuan just smiled and asked, "How much does this meal cost?"

He was prepared to exchange an Ancient Treasure for it.

To his surprise, Grand Elder Yan Yu smiled and said, "There’s no need for Young Master Lin to pay. The Young Master said we’re treating you to this meal at Mist Rain Pavilion; no payment is necessary."

Hearing this, the surrounding people were dumbfounded. Ye Ruxue was completely stunned, her eyes wide with disbelief. Madam Ye gasped.

The meal is actually free! This is unbelievable! Is Lin Xuan’s relationship with the Young Master of Misty Rain Tower really that good?

In her mind, they were just casual friends, but now, she realized she was completely wrong. Their relationship was anything but ordinary.

And why does it seem like the Young Master of Misty Rain Tower is trying to curry favor with Lin Xuan? No way. It must be my imagination. Madam Ye shook her head. The Young Master of Misty Rain Tower is such an illustrious figure. How could he possibly need to curry favor with Lin Xuan?

Beside them, Ye Qingwu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been truly worried for Lin Xuan, but now that the meal was free, she could completely relax.

The other guests stood up one after another. "We were able to enter the Mist Rain Immortal Realm and taste such top-notch ingredients all thanks to Young Master Lin."

"We are truly indebted to Young Master Lin."

"Yes, indeed! Thank you, Young Master Lin!"

Their attitudes were extremely respectful, even flattering, as they bowed in gratitude one by one.

Madam Ye felt a bit depressed. This is my birthday banquet. I’m supposed to be the main character, so shouldn’t they be thanking me? But now I’ve been sidelined. No one is paying me any attention. Lin Xuan has completely stolen my limelight. This left her both angry and helpless.

Seeing her mother being ignored, Ye Ruxue gritted her teeth in fury. She glared at Lin Xuan, thinking coldly, Let’s see how long you can be so smug.

The banquet ended and the guests departed, but the news of what happened quickly spread. Before long, all of Dragon Island was in shock. It was unavoidable; the events at Mist Rain Pavilion were truly earth-shattering.

The famous Eight Wastelands Battle Body had been thrown out of Mist Rain Pavilion, while the crisis-ridden Ye Family had been treated as honored guests and invited into the Mist Rain Immortal Realm. It was unbelievable. How did the Ye Family manage it? They were merely a second-rate family, so how could they have gained entry? It was something even first-rate families couldn’t achieve.

"It seems the Ye Family isn’t as simple as they appear. Their background might be far deeper than we imagined."

"I heard that Black Snake Manor wanted to seize the Ye Family’s Spirit Vein but eventually gave up."

"Damn, that means the Ye Family has a powerful force backing them."

"I originally thought the Ye Family was in decline and planned to seize their cultivation resources. It seems I can’t act so hastily now."

"Yes, let’s wait and see."

"It’s best not to provoke the Ye Family for now."

The various great families and sects of Dragon Island all decided not to make a move for the time being. And just like that, the Ye Family’s crisis was resolved.

「Meanwhile, at Black Snake Manor.」

After receiving the news, they were also incredibly shocked. The entire manor fell silent, and the Manor Master’s face was pale with lingering fear.

Damn it, the Ye Family could actually enter the Mist Rain Immortal Realm. That’s incredible. They must have a powerful backer. No wonder all the men I sent were killed. The Ye Family is not to be trifled with.

With this in mind, the Black Snake Manor Master quickly ordered an elder to prepare a generous gift and send it to the Ye Family as an apology.

The members of the Ye Family were ecstatic. With their family’s crisis averted, they were naturally overjoyed, and they were most grateful to Lin Xuan. Once again, he had saved their family.

Madam Ye was filled with mixed emotions. She no longer targeted Lin Xuan and allowed him to continue living with the Ye Family. First, Lin Xuan had saved her husband, and now he had saved the entire family. The debt of gratitude was too immense; she was truly too embarrassed to ask him to leave. Moreover, she had previously announced in front of so many people that Lin Xuan was the Ye Family’s son-in-law. Kicking him out now would make the Ye Family appear utterly ungrateful.

Thus, Lin Xuan continued to reside at the Ye Family estate.

This drove Ye Ruxue absolutely mad. She had once looked down on Lin Xuan, but after he revealed his talent for Alchemy, she became infatuated with him. She had tried to show him goodwill several times, but he simply ignored her. This left Ye Ruxue on the verge of collapse. She was a chosen daughter of heaven; who would ever dare to ignore her? Yet Lin Xuan did.

As a result, her infatuation turned back into hatred. The person she wanted to see least in the world was Lin Xuan, yet he insisted on staying at the Ye Family estate, refusing to leave. It infuriated her. No, I have to find a way to drive him out of the Ye Family.

She tried to cause trouble for Lin Xuan several times, but he was always in secluded cultivation, so her attempts were fruitless.

「One day.」

Lin Xuan finished his cultivation and walked out of the courtyard, ready to relax for a bit. Ye Ruxue finally found her opportunity. This time, she was determined to teach him a lesson and hopefully drive him away for good.

As for Lin Xuan, he genuinely didn’t take Ye Ruxue seriously. His strength was now equivalent to a five-star Grandmaster, and with the Pupil Technique he had cultivated, an ordinary early-stage five-star Grandmaster was no match for him. Ye Ruxue was merely a three-star Grandmaster; she probably couldn’t even withstand a single glance from him.

Lin Xuan had originally intended to continue ignoring her. However, something caught his attention. He noticed that Ye Ruxue was wearing a bracelet adorned with exquisite Spirit Patterns that released a faint Spiritual Light. It looked like a Treasure. But when Lin Xuan activated his Pupil Technique, he discovered that the bracelet contained a large amount of Demonic Qi, lurking inside like a demon, seemingly ready to rush out and devour her at any moment.

This was no Spiritual Artifact; it was a life-threatening Demon Artifact.

Lin Xuan frowned and asked, "Where did you get that bracelet?"

Ye Ruxue proudly shook her wrist, causing the bracelet to gleam even more brilliantly. "This is a gift from my father," she said proudly. "It’s called the Moonlight Bracelet, and it’s an extremely powerful Spiritual Artifact. As long as you inject Spiritual Power into it, it can form a defensive barrier of moonlight. An ordinary three-star Grandmaster couldn’t break it. How about that? You’re envious, aren’t you?"

Lin Xuan sneered, "Envious? That’s laughable. There’s something wrong with your bracelet. I advise you to throw it away, or it will bring harm to you and those around you."

If the Demonic Qi inside the bracelet bursts out, it won’t just devour Ye Ruxue; it will threaten everyone near her. Ye Qingwu is often by her side. What if she gets accidentally hurt? For this reason, Lin Xuan wanted her to get rid of the bracelet.

Hearing this, Ye Ruxue became extremely angry. "Nonsense! This is clearly a superior Spiritual Artifact, a gift from my father! Who are you to call it a Demon Artifact? Apologize to me, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

As she spoke, her Spiritual Power erupted, sweeping across the area. It seemed that if Lin Xuan didn’t apologize, she would immediately move to suppress him.

The surge of power startled Ye Qingwu. She quickly rushed out from the palace and hurried to Lin Xuan’s side.

"What’s going on? Second Sister, why are you trying to attack Lin Xuan?"

"Ask him," Ye Ruxue snapped, her eyes red with anger.

Lin Xuan explained, "Her bracelet has a problem. I advised her to throw it away. I’m only saying this for her own good."

"Nonsense!" Ye Ruxue’s body trembled with rage. This guy is clearly targeting me, provoking me on purpose!

She pointed at Lin Xuan and shouted, "If you’re a man, don’t hide behind a woman! Come out and fight me!"

"Fight you?" Lin Xuan shook his head. "You’re not worthy."

What? Not worthy? Ye Ruxue was so furious she was practically fuming. I’m a three-star Grandmaster! The strongest genius of the Ye Family! And he actually said I’m not worthy? The absolute nerve!

She was determined to teach this arrogant man a lesson today.
