Mu Chuan hurriedly said, "I’m not very familiar with him."
The middle-aged man raised his palm and slapped Mu Chuan hard on the face: "Everyone knows Xu Wendong is your little brother, yet you say you’re not familiar? Are you insulting my intelligence?"
Mu Chuan was hit so hard his head spun; he clutched his swollen right cheek with one hand, his eyes showing a grievance: "Even if Xu Wendong is my little brother, what does that have to do with anything?"
He had no idea what had happened.
He just felt very wronged.
The middle-aged man shouted furiously: "Last night, Xu Wendong brought so roasted at. After eating it, my divine soul weakened, and I returned to the mortal form. It’s obviously poisoning."
"Do you dare say it wasn’t you who ordered him to poison ?"
Hearing this, Mu Chuan’s pupils trembled sharply; at this point, he understood why Lu Yunfan was taking action against him.
Turns out he was set up by Xu Wendong.
Without thinking, Mu Chuan hastily defended himself: "It’s not related to !"
"How could I have the guts to let Xu Wendong poison you?"
The middle-aged man slapped Mu Chuan’s left cheek again and scolded harshly: "If you don’t have the guts to poison us, do you think Xu Wendong would?"
Mu Chuan was on the verge of tears: "Senior, I can swear to the heavens that I have nothing to do with this. It was Xu Wendong sowing discord."
Previously, he was wondering why only he and Yun Zhan attended the assessnt today.
Now he understood.
The other ten people were poisoned by Xu Wendong and couldn’t attend the assessnt at all!
The reason he acknowledged as the leader was, at the root, to fra , making the enemy of those ten strong practitioners.
A truly ruthless heart!
"Curse your immortal ancestors, how could a Foundation Establishnt Stage ant have the guts to sow discord? You’re clearly insulting my intelligence!" The middle-aged man didn’t listen to Mu Chuan’s explanations at all and continued to swing his palm across his face.
Only after venting his anger did he let go.
By this ti,
Mu Chuan was bleeding from all seven orifices, barely clinging to life.
Although he knew that all this was Xu Wendong’s doing, no one believed his words!
Just like that,
Mu Chuan faced the darkest period of his life.
The ten strong practitioners poisoned by Xu Wendong all ca to find Mu Chuan, broke his limbs, nearly crippling his cultivation level.
Of course,
Yun Zhan’s fate was also quite tragic.
After all, everyone knew he was with Mu Chuan.
So people thought of causing trouble for Xu Wendong, but seeing Qingxuan chatting happily with him while eating roasted at, they gave up on the idea.
In their eyes, teaching Xu Wendong a lesson was very simple.
But,
Qingxuan held a high position within the Dragon Clan; if they really did anything to Xu Wendong, Qingxuan might hold them accountable.
If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be worth the trouble.
------
In the cave,
by the fire,
Qingxuan sat on a rock, indulging in the golden, fragrant roasted at. Then she said, "You’re really sothing!"
Xu Wendong looked bewildered: "Are you complinting or cursing ?"
Qingxuan chuckled: "Of course I’m complinting you."
Xu Wendong remained silent, yet he felt the other party wasn’t complinting him at all.
Qingxuan: "You should know, there are over twenty strong Human Race mbers in the Dragon Clan."
Xu Wendong nodded slightly.
Qingxuan continued, "These people are very humble, not only towards the Dragon Clan but also towards other Demon Races. They act humbly and politely."
"Though I know humans are very well-mannered, their humility makes uncomfortable."
"I feel that humans shouldn’t just be humble."
"Yes, for humanity to beco the leader of all beings, it relies not solely on humility."
Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask, "Do you an that they’re too hypocritical?"
Qingxuan nodded repeatedly, a look of agreent in her eyes: "Yes, yes, it’s hypocrisy."
"Though hypocrisy is indeed a human trait, it’s an unpleasant one."
At this, she looked at Xu Wendong: "You’re different. I don’t feel hypocrisy in you; instead, I sense insidiousness, cunning."
Xu Wendong was speechless.
It was evident,
Qingxuan already knew about his poisoning the Human Race; otherwise, she wouldn’t say such things.
He cleared his throat and said, "Would you say that insidiousness and cunning could be replaced with resourcefulness and careful planning?"
Qingxuan paused, pondering the aning of these words, then burst out laughing: "You really have no sha!"
Xu Wendong curled his lips: "If you keep speaking like that, I won’t roast at for you anymore!"
Qingxuan was amused, and her lips curled into a light smile: "I didn’t an to belittle you. I just feel a genuine complexity of humanity in you."
"Though there are so Human Race mbers in the Dragon Clan, you’re the only one who feels real and full of life to ."
At this, she smiled brightly and said, "Let reintroduce myself, I’m Qingxuan, the Dragon Clan Princess!"
Xu Wendong’s pupils trembled sharply, not expecting her to be the Dragon Princess.
In truth, he had guessed Qingxuan wasn’t an ordinary person, but he didn’t expect her status to be so noble.
Without further thought, he quickly stood up and bowed in respect: "Greetings, Your Highness Princess!"
Qingxuan pouted and said, "No need to be so formal. I don’t like these polite forms."
Xu Wendong relaxed a little: "Actually, I don’t like these formalities either, but the necessary respect cannot be neglected."
Qingxuan raised an eyebrow: "Do you want to see what my true Dragon Clan looks like?"
Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up: "Can I?"
"Others can’t, but you can!" Qingxuan said, grabbing Xu Wendong’s wrist, and flew out of the cave.
A mont later,
Xu Wendong followed Qingxuan across a continuous mountain range, flying for over ten minutes until a deep, bottomless chasm appeared before his eyes.
At that mont,
he felt strong demon energy spreading from the chasm, which made his heartbeat quicken inexplicably.
He realized this chasm was the gathering place for Dragon Clan’s strong mbers; the valley he lived in before was only for ordinary Dragon Clan mbers.
Core disciples would not live and cultivate there at all.
Following Qingxuan, he descended over ten thousand ters into the chasm, clearly seeing the seething lava below.
And on the stone walls on both sides of the chasm were large caves.
The strong demon energy was emanating from those caves.
At the sa ti,
Xu Wendong also felt a powerful soul force enveloping him.
Clearly, it was studying him, making him sowhat nervous.
Because those soul forces were extraordinarily powerful.
At that mont,
Qingxuan’s voice rang out: "Father, I t a human who intrigues , and I want to engage in dual cultivation with him!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong felt a chill down his spine.
Whoa!
The Dragon Princess wants to engage in dual cultivation with ?
