Chapter 792 -791: The Loose Cultivators’ Cheers! The Ye and Chu Families’ Schemes
The more the gossiping spectators discussed, the more excited they became.
“That’s not even the half of it! The supposedly upright and incorruptible Captain Xiao was about to side with the Jiang Family and intervene, but a Frost Bone Dragon directly blocked his path.”
“That was a dragon! And it was here to help Gu Yuexi!”
“And the one riding the dragon was a mosquito! I still think it’s ridiculous just thinking about it now.”
“Tell me about it! A pure-blooded member of the Dragon Race acting as a mount for a mosquito… that’s never happened before in the history of the Spirit Realm!”
“Also, that mosquito was obviously Gu Yuexi’s Beast Pet. It came up, directly commanded the Frost Bone Dragon, and swatted Captain Xiao away with a single swipe. It was so badass.”
“Just when we all thought Jiang Qingyao was a goner, who would’ve thought the Jiang Family would actually send out Jiang Xinglan.”
“Yeah! Jiang Xinglan is Luoping City’s number one prodigy, the Immortal Seed most likely to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future.”
“It just goes to show how much Jiang Wei dotes on Jiang Qingyao.”
“When Jiang Xinglan arrived, we all thought this farce would finally come to an end, and that Gu Yuexi would surely be defeated.”
“But who could’ve guessed? Gu Yuexi didn’t give him the time of day. She didn’t even lift her head, treating him like he was thin air.”
“I’m a simple man with a small vocabulary. Other than ‘badass,’ I can’t think of another word to describe Fairy Gu.”
“I originally thought it would be a simple matter for Jiang Xinglan to make his move, take back the Soul Guardian Bottle, and kill Gu Yuexi.”
“But I never imagined that Jiang Xinglan’s Attack would actually be blocked.”
“The most ridiculous part is that it was blocked by that tiny, unremarkable mosquito.”
“Not only that, but a crack was even formed on Jiang Xinglan’s Divine Level Middle-Grade Star Sword!”
“In a single exchange, Jiang Xinglan was humiliated by a mosquito. Who would believe that if you told them?”
“I just happened to be passing by and caught this whole spectacle. This is seriously the best thing I’ll have to brag about for the rest of my life.”
“A plot with so many twists and turns is way more interesting than any of those stories you read in books!”
The crowd chattered away, their excitement growing with every word.
Amid the discussions, some people in the crowd began to cheer for Gu Yuexi.
“Go, Fairy Gu! Wreck them!”
“Lord Mosquito is a badass! Go, Lord Mosquito!”
“Show the Eight Great Clans that we Loose Cultivators aren’t so easy to bully!”
“That’s right! We Loose Cultivators aren’t pushovers that anyone can just step on!”
Clearly, the Loose Cultivators had been oppressed by the Eight Great Clans for a long time.
They had suffered countless indignities but had only ever dared to be angry without speaking up. No one had ever dared to be the first to stand against them.
Now, someone like Gu Yuexi had finally appeared, daring to confront the Eight Great Clans head-on.
And not only was she not at a disadvantage, she was even gaining the upper hand.
The long-suppressed resentment in the hearts of the Loose Cultivators had finally found an outlet.
Each and every one of them was incredibly excited, as if they themselves were the ones on the field fighting against the Jiang Family.
「At the same time.」
On the rooftop of a tall building not far away.
The young figures of a man and a woman stood side by side at the railing, watching the battle from afar.
The two of them possessed an extraordinary air.
But their attire was extremely low-key—simple gray cloth robes, the kind that would make them disappear in a crowd.
Anyone who didn’t know them would mistake them for two ordinary workers.
Only the core members of the Eight Great Clans and a handful of powerful experts knew.
That in terms of strength and potential, these two were in no way inferior to Jiang Xinglan—and perhaps even surpassed him.
The man was Ye Guxuan of the Ye Family, and the woman was Chu Nianci of the Chu Family.
Both were of the Direct Lineage of the Ye and Chu Families, two of the Eight Great Clans.
Like Xiao Feng and Jiang Xinglan, they were among the most outstanding figures of Luoping City’s younger generation.
However, the four of them had chosen different paths.
Xiao Feng chose to join the Law Enforcement Team, pursuing an official career and climbing the ranks by accumulating merits.
Jiang Xinglan, on the other hand, was extremely high-profile, always seeking the limelight. He became a universally known genius and the public face of Luoping City’s younger generation.
Ye Guxuan and Chu Nianci, however, were both very low-key and disliked being in the spotlight.
Aside from their closed-door Cultivation, they usually only occasionally managed their family’s businesses and rarely made public appearances.
Even the Loose Cultivators who worked for the Ye and Chu Families wouldn’t necessarily recognize their faces, let alone know their true identities.
But in terms of strength and potential, they were not the least bit inferior to Xiao Feng and Jiang Xinglan.
In fact, during a private competition among the juniors, Ye Guxuan had even fought Jiang Xinglan to a draw when the latter was going all out.
At this moment, as they stood on high watching Jiang Xinglan suffer a setback at the hands of Chu Sheng, a disdainful sneer hung on both their faces.
“That guy, Jiang Xinglan, has been in Luoping City for so long he really thinks he’s the number one genius in the entire Spirit Realm.”
“So arrogant.”
Ye Guxuan spoke coldly, his tone laced with contempt.
Chu Nianci shrugged, crossing her arms with a relaxed tone.
“Luoping City is just a small border town in the Southern Continent, a tiny place.”
“And the Southern Continent is just a small, insignificant part of the entire Spirit Realm.”
“Let’s not even talk about those Hidden Clans with Immortal Realm experts.”
“Just take any Core Disciple from the Ten Great Sects of the Spirit Realm; their talent would far surpass Jiang Xinglan’s.”
Ye Guxuan nodded, in complete agreement.
“If we hadn’t followed our family elders out to see the world before, we’d probably be just like Jiang Xinglan, a frog in a well thinking he’s the king of the world.”
“The day he actually leaves Luoping City and the Southern Continent, he won’t be able to handle the shock of reality. He’s going to fall, and fall hard.”
“But by the looks of it, he won’t have to wait until he leaves Luoping City. He’s about to face that shock right now.”
Ye Guxuan’s gaze fell upon Gu Yuexi, his eyes holding a probing look.
“That Gu Yuexi… she just entered the Divinity Transformation Realm, yet she’s already this powerful.”
“Not only can she dominate cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm, which is a level above her, but her Beast Pet can also withstand Jiang Xinglan’s Attacks head-on.”
“It’s strange. A mosquito that can command the Dragon Race and withstand a Divine Level Magical Treasure… it’s simply unheard of.”
“If she isn’t the personal disciple of someone from the Ten Great Sects, then she must be from the Direct Lineage of a Hidden Clan, out to gain experience.”
“How could a figure like that be someone that minor families like ours, tucked away in a remote corner of the world, can afford to offend?”
“The Jiang Family really messed with the wrong person this time.”
Chu Nianci let out a cold laugh. She crossed her arms, enjoying the show with a gloating expression.
“By now, besides the Jiang Family themselves, the other families have probably all guessed that Gu Yuexi has a significant background. They’re all just waiting to watch the Jiang Family make a fool of themselves.”
“I’d love to see how the Jiang Family is going to get themselves out of this.”
“That old fox Jiang Wei is probably getting a massive headache over this.”
As she spoke, Chu Nianci turned to Ye Guxuan and asked curiously.
“By the way, have you heard back from the people you sent to investigate Gu Yuexi’s background?”
Ye Guxuan shook his head, his brow furrowed slightly.
“It’s not that fast.”
“Besides, someone like her must have a deeply hidden background. It won’t be easy to investigate.”
“It will be difficult to find any useful clues without at least ten days to half a month.”
Chu Nianci nodded in agreement and didn’t ask any more questions, her gaze returning to the battlefield.
“True. There’s no rush. We’ll just wait for news and enjoy the show.”
“I, for one, am very curious to see if Jiang Xinglan can even beat that mosquito if he gets serious.”
“If he can’t even defeat a mosquito, then his title as the ‘number one prodigy’ will become a complete joke.”
