My Top-Tier Tycoon Wife Chapter 628 628: It Really Is My Home

The arena fell silent, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

Seeing Luo Xiu swagger through the barrier into the sixth layer, Yang Ju and Xing Rui recalled their previous words, their faces burning with humiliation.

Amidst the silence, a cultivator afflicted with the Ghost Wolf Curse laughed. "So it turns out this young master really has so skills!"

"Yes, it seems we misunderstood him before."

"It's clear this young master didn't take advantage of Young Master Yang but broke through the barrier on his own rit!"

"To break through the barrier so effortlessly and casually, this young master is truly a divine being!"

"What are you brothers waiting for? The path the young master opened hasn't closed yet. Let's hurry and follow him!"

"..."

Seeing the cultivators eagerly following in Luo Xiu's footsteps, Yang Ju, who was left behind in disarray, wished he could sprout wings and fly away.

Xing Rui walked over to him, his expression exceptionally grim. If it were possible, he truly wanted to rush up and break Luo Xiu's legs.

"Young Master, what should we do now?"

Yang Ju clenched his teeth, struggling to suppress his emotions. "This Mortal Realm trash… what kind of trick did he use? Why can he just stroll through the barrier I've been trying to break for so long as if it's nothing?"

Xing Rui looked at the closing hole in the barrier wall and whispered, "Well, Young Master, this layer's barrier is hard to break. Should we follow them as well?"

Yang Ju took a deep breath. "Fine."

"..."

「In the sixth layer.」

Luo Xiu instructed the cultivators to gather herbs according to their lists. He then looked back at the master and servant pair, Yang Ju and Xing Rui, a aningful smile on his face.

"Well, well. Do you two tagalongs only know how to follow behind this young master and pick up leftovers?"

Hearing this, Yang Ju clenched his teeth but was at a loss for a rebuttal. After all, Luo Xiu was speaking the truth. Everyone had seen that he had only managed to enter the sixth layer by picking up Luo Xiu's leftovers. If he were to rely on himself, it would take several days to break the barrier and find the correct route.

Luo Xian and Luo Qingxian, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but smile at Yang Ju's discomfort. That was a resounding slap in the face!

Xing Rui suddenly spoke up. "You lowlife from the Mortal Realm, what are you so proud of? So you understand a bit about formations? Don't be so smug. My young master isn't adept at the Way of Formations; he specializes in the Sword Dao!"

"If it were a contest of the Sword Dao, my master would destroy you in minutes!"

Luo Xiu smiled faintly, unperturbed, and mocked, "Look at that. Your master isn't even anxious, but his dog is already barking. Let ask you, what are you good at?"

Xing Rui was montarily speechless, glaring at Luo Xiu with a face red to his ears.

Luo Xiu asked again, "Are you good at being a dog that bites people?"

A knot of fury tightening in his chest, Xing Rui drew his sword and advanced on Luo Xiu. "You lowlife, I'll kill you!"

Yang Ju hurriedly held him back, then turned to Luo Xiu with a sneer. "You lowlife from the Mortal Realm, you should be grateful this place has the Prohibition of Arms. It's the only reason you're still breathing."

Luo Xiu waved his hand, looking sowhat impatient. "Alright, alright. You can save those words for after we've left Ghost Valley Mountain."

He added, "From now on, if you want to trail behind and pick up leftovers, I might allow it. After all, I'm a rather magnanimous person. But let's be clear: if you gather any herbs or find any opportunities, you'll have to hand them over to ."

Xing Rui burst out laughing. "What a joke! Why should we hand anything over to you? Do you own Ghost Valley Mountain?"

Luo Xiu smiled. "My apologies, but Ghost Valley Mountain really is my place."

Xing Rui imdiately feigned a look of disgust. "Your place? Pah! That's laughable! Don't you have any sha, you piece of trash?"

"Mortal Realm scum, do you even know who my young master is?"

"You're lucky this is the Divine Oracle Grotto Heaven. If we were outside and you dared to speak to my young master like this, ten lives wouldn't be enough for you to lose!"

"Don't think we're afraid of you just because you have that Ghost Wolf backing you! Why don't you go and ask that Ghost Wolf if it dares to lay a hand on my young master?"

At this mont, Yang Ju nonchalantly opened his folding fan, the corners of his mouth curling up. "Enough, Xing Rui. There's no need to waste words on such a lowlife. He'll co begging to eventually."

"..."

「So ti later.」

After the cultivators finished gathering herbs, Luo Xiu walked over to the barrier wall leading to the seventh layer.

At that mont, Yang Ju was attempting to break the formation. Seeing Luo Xiu approach, he smiled indifferently. "What, have you co to beg this young master now?"

Luo Xiu was very curious. What in the world would I beg you for?

Yang Ju said calmly, "To break the barriers on Ghost Valley Mountain, one must not only comprehend the Array Principles and find the correct route, but one also needs a high enough Fusion Path Rank. Otherwise, even if you understand the Array Principles and find the correct route, the pressure inside will crush you to pieces."

Xing Rui said proudly, "And my young master is an unparalleled genius of Level 8 Integration!"

Yang Ju chuckled. "I have no other motive. I simply want to propose a one-ti cooperation with you."

Luo Xiu was puzzled. "Cooperate with you on what?"

Yang Ju said with a tranquil air, "I admit I'm not as skilled at comprehending Array Principles as you are. So, for the next few barriers, you will be responsible for understanding the Array Principles and finding the correct route. Once you have it, tell . I will bear the pressure of the barrier itself and lead everyone to the next layer."

Xing Rui then added, "The pressure of the barrier itself only needs to be borne by the Formation Breaker. As for those who follow the Formation Breaker, they don't have to bear any pressure, nor do they need to worry about their Fusion Path Rank, as long as the path and the opening inside the barrier haven't closed."

Luo Xiu smiled. "I already know all of that. What I don't understand is… why should I cooperate with you?"

Xing Rui laughed, enraged. "You scum, are you fucking deaf or sothing?! My young master has made himself perfectly clear. Don't you get it? I'll ask you one thing: is your Fusion Path Rank that high?!"

To his surprise, before the words had even left his mouth, Luo Xiu sauntered right through the barrier wall.

"Everyone, keep up. It's ti for the seventh layer."

The cultivators' eyes lit up. They praised him profusely as they scrambled to follow.

Left behind, Xing Rui stared dumbfounded at Luo Xiu's retreating back.

"Young Master, this… this Mortal Realm scum entered without any pressure at all. Could he be at Level 6 in the Fusion Path?"

Yang Ju's face was dark. He suddenly gritted his teeth and stepped forward to follow.

"The opening hasn't closed yet. Hurry and follow!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Yang Ju said, "I refuse to believe he can break through the next barrier so easily."

Xing Rui added, "For that Mortal Realm trash to have reached Level 6 in the Fusion Path is already heaven-defying! Rest assured, Young Master. He will definitely co begging you for cooperation later!"
