"Show your Token."
One after the other, Yang Xiao and Yun'Er—the latter clad in a long green dress with an aquamarine pendant—arrived at the Library Pavilion. A Cyan-robed Steward guarding the entrance spoke indifferently.
Even the Library Pavilion of the Outer Mansion wasn't a place one could enter so easily.
One had to be an official Outer Disciple.
According to Yang Xiao's previous status, even as the son of the Honored Guest Chief Elder, he wouldn't have been qualified.
However, for the current Yang Xiao and Yun'Er, this was nothing.
Yun'Er simply raised a purple-gold token engraved with a sword and blade, and the Cyan-robed Steward's lofty, indifferent expression instantly changed.
He scrambled to stand up.
But he saw Yang Xiao raise a hand and shake his head. "No need to get up. Just treat us as ordinary Outer Disciples."
"Yes."
After a mont's hesitation, the Cyan-robed Steward nodded.
Yang Xiao and Yun'Er then walked inside.
Watching their departing figures, the Cyan-robed Steward dared not relax.
He was extrely tense.
"This Token is quite useful."
Yun'Er was already an Innate Realm expert, so she could naturally sense the steward's fluctuating emotions and comnted with so amusent.
Yang Xiao smiled faintly.
'The purple-gold token of a Law Enforcent Hall Elder is naturally useful.'
'Lin Nantian is a pragmatic Sect Leader. He handed control of the Law Enforcent Hall to Father. Now, not only my seven sworn brothers, but even Yun'Er has beco an Elder of the Law Enforcent Hall. With this status, things are much more convenient.'
Yang Xiao was very satisfied with Lin Nantian's performance.
He also had two Tokens on him.
One was the Purple Gold Cloud Pattern Order from the Chief Elder of dicine Peak, and the other was the Little Purple Sun Order, which symbolized the Junior Sect Leader Position.
Both of these Tokens held extraordinary significance in the Purple Sun Sect.
The Little Purple Sun Order, in particular, was a symbol of the Purple Sun Sect, second only to the Great Purple Sun Order held by the Sect Leader.
Yang Xiao, of course, would not reveal it lightly.
Otherwise, even if he tried to stop him, the Cyan-robed Steward would have had to kneel in salute to follow the rules.
Yang Xiao was not one to show off, and with his breadth of experience, there was no need.
He naturally wouldn't do things with such fanfare.
If he wanted to, he could have simply had all these books delivered to him.
But Yang Xiao did not do so.
He clearly didn't want to make a big fuss.
"Young Master, this place is quite large, and there are so many books."
Yun'Er exclaid happily.
Yang Xiao smiled faintly and was about to speak when a sneer drifted over.
"Another country bumpkin who just joined. Haven't you ever seen a Library Pavilion before? How amusing."
At these words, Yun'Er's expression changed instantly, and she looked over.
She saw a woman in a purplish-red dress looking their way with a scornful expression.
The woman wasn't old, but her face was full of coquettish charm. She had her arm linked with a young man in an Outer Disciple Robe, but that man was staring dumbly at Yun'Er.
He was practically drooling.
When the woman saw this, her face imdiately turned sour. However, she didn't say anything to the man beside her. Instead, she glared viciously at Yun'Er.
She cursed without holding back, "What are you looking at, you country bumpkin from the secular world? You vixen, trying to seduce n, are you?"
At these words, not only Yun'Er, but even Yang Xiao's expression changed.
'How dare she curse the girl.'
In the depths of his heart, Yang Xiao had already sentenced this woman to death.
"Little Hong, how can you say that?"
However, before Yang Xiao could speak, it was the man beside the purplish-red-dressed woman, the one in the Outer Disciple Robe, who put on a stern face.
But the woman he called Little Hong didn't stop. On the contrary, it was like adding fuel to the fire.
She threw a tantrum, pointing at the man and cursing, "You Lü, you heartless bastard! You're talking to like this for a little slut who just joined the sect? Hmph! Hurry up and help slice up this little vixen's face! If you don't, and my cousin finds out, you'll be sorry!"
These words made the man jump in fright.
He was only with this woman because her cousin was an Inner Core Disciple.
He had heard that this cousin was even connected to a certain True Disciple.
If he really let Little Hong blow this matter up, as a re Outer Disciple—even one of the top ten Outer Disciples—he would face severe consequences.
But when it ca to actually laying a hand on a beautiful girl like Yun'Er, he hesitated.
"Get a move on!"
But the red-robed woman barked.
His heart trembled.
He finally made up his mind and walked toward Yun'Er.
The red-robed woman imdiately beca smug, holding her head high.
She looked at Yun'Er with contempt, like a victorious rooster in a cockfight.
Yang Xiao and Yun'Er found the sight both infuriating and laughable.
"Miss, why don't you just apologize to Little Hong? Otherwise, if I really have to scar that face of yours, my heart won't be able to take it."
The Outer Disciple with the surna Lü walked closer.
Seeing Yun'Er's peerless beauty and ethereal temperant,
his eyes filled with greed and desire.
He didn't attack imdiately, though.
But the words coming out of his mouth were disgusting.
"Apologize? She cursed at . Why should I be the one to apologize?"
Yun'Er sneered.
'I've really seen it all today.'
"You damn vixen! Brother Lü told you to apologize, and you still refuse? You ask what gives the right? I, Lin Chuhong, will tell you! My right cos from my status, from my backing in the Purple Sun Sect! Do you have any idea who this Outer Disciple in front of you is?"
The Lü-surnad Outer Disciple didn't speak; the woman in the purplish-red dress had cut in again.
With a smug and arrogant expression, she pointed at the Lü-surnad Outer Disciple and said, "Brother Lü's na is Lü Tianfeng! He's ranked third among the top ten Outer Disciples of this generation. Scared now, aren't you?"
"Third among the Outer Disciples? How impressive."
Yang Xiao spoke up.
But what he hadn't expected was that by speaking up, the woman nad Lin Chuhong had directed her hatred toward him as well.
"Of course it's impressive! Look at the two of you, you country bumpkins. You probably still think this is so secular kingdom, don't you? Here, it's useless even if you're the son of a Prince."
"But , Lin Chuhong—my cousin is an Inner Core Disciple! If this gets back to him, don't even think about staying in the Purple Sun Sect!"
"Hmph! You ask what gives the right?"
"My right, Lin Chuhong's right, is that I have powerful backing! Are you going to argue with that?"
She spoke with self-righteous confidence.
Her chin held high in arrogance.
And yet, her backing was rely a single Inner Core Disciple.
Yang Xiao found it ridiculous.
What he found even more ridiculous was that the so-called third-ranked Outer Disciple, Lü Tianfeng, also had a look of agreent on his face.
Moreover, as he looked at Yun'Er, his eyes were filled with a hint of pity.
It was as if he was lanting the miserable fate that awaited them for offending Lin Chuhong.
Yang Xiao was left speechless.
"Yun'Er, you can't reason with a slut like her. Just hit her. As for backing, since she wants to compete, let's compete."
The mont his voice fell, Yun'Er moved.
SLAP!
A crisp slap echoed through the first floor of the Library Pavilion.
Lin Chuhong was stunned.
Lü Tianfeng was dumbfounded.
They never imagined that these two "new" disciples would actually dare to make a move!
