Xu Nian was dumbfounded by the question.
"Audacity incarnate?"
How had he beco the epito of brazenness?
Beside him, both Chen Xifeng and Dugu Jingcheng looked at Xu Nian with skeptical eyes.
The woman in the white dress seed to notice Xu Nian's confusion, and with a laugh, she asked, "You know Chen Yao, right?"
As soon as Xu Nian heard that na, he understood imdiately.
However, he hadn't expected that Chen Yao would spread such a scandalous story.
"I've seen many ways of pursuing little sister Chen Yao, but it's the first ti I've seen soone strip naked and run in front of a girl. Do you think that little sister Chen Yao will fancy your body? How about you strip for too?" The woman in the white dress said with a light laugh, her eyes carrying a playful smirk.
Chen Xifeng and Dugu Jingcheng looked at Xu Nian as if they were looking at a pervert.
Xu Nian was speechless.
How had it beco him stripping in front of Chen Yao?
It was clearly he who had seen and touched Chen Yao.
Yet Xu Nian didn't dare to argue because wouldn't that make him seem even more lecherous?
"Little sister Chen Yao is recognized as the number one beauty of the Battle Mansion, not to ntion her talent and status. You can imagine how popular she is in the Battle Mansion. Not just the low-level mbers, most of the mid-level students are her admirers, too. Don't say I didn't warn you, your sleazy act has spread throughout the entire Battle Mansion. A lot of people are out to get you; you better pray for your own sake," said the woman in the white dress with a light laugh, before directly tossing a storage ring to Xu Nian.
Hearing this, Xu Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had just joined the Battle Mansion and had already made a whole bunch of enemies; life here was not going to be easy.
Indeed, just as Xu Nian and his companions were preparing to leave the Battle Hall, those four chatting mbers of the Battle Mansion surrounded them, blocking Xu Nian's path.
Xu Nian instinctively furrowed his brow, sensing the unfriendliness of the newcors.
All four mbers of the Battle Mansion were dressed in the Mansion's specialized battle robes. Three of them had a single heart embroidered on their chests, while the leader had two, indicating their ranks within the Battle Mansion.
Xu Nian had used his Spiritual Sense to probe the strength of these four, amongst whom the mbers with a single star on their chest were all Two-star at the Silver Moon Realm, two Spirit Cultivators and one Body Cultivator, whereas the young man with two stars on his chest was a Three-star Body Sect mber.
Being part of the Battle Mansion ant they were all geniuses, their battle prowess far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators at the sa level.
"What do you want?" Chen Xifeng could also tell that the newcors bore ill intent and asked coldly.
"We don't want much, just to greet you newcors who've just joined the Battle Mansion. Don't think you've co to heaven. That so-called Academy tournant champion is just child's play. To beco a true mber of the Battle Mansion, one must undergo the true test of blood and murder. If you don't have the guts, get out of the Battle Mansion," the leading Two-star young man said with a cold laugh, his eyes riveted on Xu Nian, filled with provocation.
Chen Xifeng imdiately grew angry and was about to take action but was stopped by Xu Nian, who turned to the leader with a smile and said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior brother. We will work hard to beco qualified mbers of the Battle Mansion. If there's nothing else, then we'll be on our way."
With that, he prepared to leave with Chen Xifeng and Dugu Jingcheng.
"Stop, did I say you could go?" the young man raised his voice.
"Is there anything else, senior brother?" Xu Nian turned and asked.
The young man sneered and said to Xu Nian, "Kid, you seem to be quite shrewd, with impressive tolerance. But let warn you, you'd better stay away from Junior Sister Chen Yao. I don't care whether that matter is true or not, just don't let see you near Junior Sister Chen Yao again, or you will die a miserable death."
The three lackeys behind the Two-star young man showed mocking expressions on their faces upon hearing this.
The woman in the white dress also looked over with a playful look in her eyes.
Xu Nian, however, smiled and said to the Two-star young man, "Senior Brother, whatever my relationship is with Chen Yao, it seems to be none of your business. As for where I show up, that's my freedom. If Senior Brother finds it displeasing, feel free to make a move. I, Xu Nian, will accompany you with all my strength."
Xu Nian's voice was not loud, but it carried weight, with an impressive montum.
The Two-star young man was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xu Nian to suddenly drop his previous restraint and beco so tough, which made him feel humiliated.
"Senior Brother Liu, let teach him a lesson," said a Two-star Body Sect mber from behind the Two-star young man.
But before he could nod, a cold voice intervened.
"Fighting is forbidden within the Battle Hall! If you want to fight, take it outside!"
The one who spoke was the woman in the white dress.
The Two-star Body Sect young man's face fell, clearly aware of the woman's prowess and not daring to offend her. Your journey continues on empire
The Two-star young man also frowned slightly, knowing that this was the woman in the white dress giving him a reminder.
"Hmph, I'll let you off this ti, kid. Rember my na, I'm Liu Mushan, and we'll be eting again soon." With a cold snort, the Two-star young man left the Battle Hall with the three people behind him.
Xu Nian responded to the woman in the white dress with a smile, then left the Battle Hall with Dugu Jingcheng and Chen Xifeng, heading towards the residence assigned to them.
The woman in the white dress watched Xu Nian's departing figure with a light smile in her eyes.
"Interesting, anyone with clear eyes could see that Chen Yao was lying, but because of the lie, the effect was even stronger. Xu Nian seems to be quite shrewd, with good strength and talent too, but he's just too young, not my type, alas, what a pity!" The woman in the white dress sighed and then continued with her work.
Indeed, what the woman in the white dress said was correct.
Not many believed Chen Yao's lie, but for her to target soone so specifically, it ant she either truly harbored a grudge or cared a great deal about that person. No matter the angle, Chen Yao's suitors would find trouble for Xu Nian.
If it was the forr, they would be happy to strike Xu Nian to earn a smile from the beauty.
If it was the latter, it ant a rival in love, who must be eliminated quickly.
Walking on the road, Xu Nian also ca to understand this point.
In other words, life in the Battle Mansion would be much more difficult than he had imagined.
Moreover, Xu Nian's decision to hold back just now was because Liu Mushan and the other three all exuded a certain aura, which was the aura of killing intent.
Killing intent was not sothing one could simply wish to possess; it had to be acquired through real slaughter, killing enough people to have such a presence.
Liu Mubai's killing intent was clearly stronger than the other three, which ant he had killed more people.
So Xu Nian had no doubt about Liu Mushan's words.
To beco a qualified mber of the Battle Mansion, one had to undergo a baptism of blood.
"It seems that life in the Battle Mansion won't be too boring after all," Xu Nian said to himself, with unabashed excitent dancing in the depths of his eyes.
