Xu Yan turned to Fu Yuntian, saying with a bow, “Great Grandmaster, I will take my leave now, 1 will visit the Seven-star Study Palace when 1 have some free time.”

With this, his visit to the Seven-star Study Palace had essentially come to an end.

As for the storage pavilion, he would visit it only when the need arose in the future.

Next, he was going to Canglan Island to receive Yin Hong’s legacy and buy spiritual medicine; then he was to return to the remote borderlands.

“Friend Xu is always welcome to visit.”

Fu Yuntian took a deep breath and said.

“I am fortunate today to see Young Master Xu destroy a Great Grandmaster. It has been a while since we last met in Wushuang Pavilion; how about we catch up?” said a woman in plain clothes with a clear and crisp voice that energized all who heard it.

“Oh, it’s you.”

Xu Yan patted Xie Lingfeng on the shoulder and said, “This is the friend I was talking about. She also needs to temper her mind. Why don’t you take some time to do it here?”

Xie Lingfeng swallowed, dryly laughing as he said, “Brother Xu, there’s no need, 1 have already tempered my mind!”

The woman in plain clothes gave him a cold look despite her smiling face.

“Young Master Xu, look, Xie Lingfeng doesn’t need it,” said the woman in plain clothes with a smile.

Xu Yan eyed her warily. This woman’s attitude was somewhat problematic; she appeared softer than when he first met her at Wushuang Pavilion.

Du Yuying was also very cautious.

“If that’s the case, then let’s forget it!” Xu Yan bowed and turned to leave.

At this moment, the students of the Seven-star Study Palace seemed to regain

their senses.

“Young Master Xu, I have some questions about martial arts and would like to ask for your guidance!”

“Young Master Xu, I’ve been feeling very confused lately. I don’t know if it’s

because of my martial arts training. Can you help me clarify it?”

A swarm of female students crowded around him.

Xie Lingfeng swallowed again, thinking these women have all gone mad?

Hu Shan looked on with envy.

Many male students had similar envious looks in their eyes.

“Brother Xie, see you at the villa!” On seeing the commotion, Xu Yan vanished

in an instant.

With his departure, the faces of the swarming students from the Seven-star Study Palace were filled with disappointment. Some even blamed Xie Lingfeng.

-The so-called unparalleled prodigy of Sword Master Cliff for a thousand years

is just a butt of a joke!”

“Exactly. He only got this exaggerated reputation because his father is the

Great Grandmaster Xie.”

On hearing these comments, Xie Lingfeng was furious. He could accept being inferior to Xu Yan, but what right did these people have to question him?

His face ice-cold, he drew his sword and challenged, “Today, Xie Lingfeng challenges all students under thirty in the Seven-star Study Palace!” He then rose into the air and headed straight for the dueling platform. “Today, I, Xie, would like to see how well the students of the Seven-star Study Palace can perform. In my eyes, you are all useless!

Hu Shan was immediately excited, exclaiming, “My Young Master, Xie Lingfeng of the Sword Master Cliff, challenges all students under thirty in the Seven-star Study Palace.

“In my eyes, you are all useless!”

Du Yuying:…

The woman in plain clothes:…

On the dueling platform, Xie Lingfeng stood with his sword.

Originally, he didn’t have such thoughts, but when disdained so by the students of the Seven-star Study Palace, how could he bear it?

Despite everything, he was still a proud and reputable prodigy.

“Brother Xu alone, broke through the nine layers of the duelling platform, I admit that 1 can’t do it. Today, I will suppress all students under thirty in the Seven-star Study Palace!

“What right do these things have to mock me!” Xie Lingfeng was furious. Seven-star Study Palace boiled over in anger. All the students were enraged.

How arrogant!

Xie Lingfeng was directly challenging all students under thirty in Seven-star Study Palace, intending to suppress his peers—the prodigies!

The already departed Xu Yan returned.

He leaned over to Hu Shan and asked, “Hu Shan, what do you think about starting a bet here at the Seven-star Study Palace?

“Eh?” Hu Shan was stunned, “What bet?”

Xu Yan was excited, as if he saw an opportunity to make Spirit Crystals, “It is to bet whether Brother Xie wins or the Seven-star Study Palace wins!” Hu Shan understood instantly, his mouth twitched, “Isn’t that inappropriate?” “This is a great opportunity to make money!”

Xu Yan had full confidence in Xie Lingfeng.

“Alright then.”

After thinking for a while, Hu Shan nodded in agreement.

Of course, it was up to him to take care of these things. If people knew that Xu Yan was confident in Xie Lingfeng, how could they make money?

So, Hu Shan went up to a large rock, took out his sword, placed it on the rock, and announced loudly, “Today, my Young Master challenges the students of Seven-star Study Palace. I am confident my Young Master can suppress his peers in Seven-star Study Palace alone. Who dares to bet!”

The Seven-star Study Palace students who rushed over, holding their breaths, thought Xu Yan was arrogant, but he had the right to be.

But what right did Xie Lingfeng have to be arrogant?

His reputation as an outstanding prodigy was just a fluke.

“What’s the bet?” A student immediately joined in.

“It’s simple. If the Seven-star Study Palace wins, I’ll give my sword to the Seven-star Study Palace, signifying the loss of Sword Master Cliff. If my Young Master wins, your Spirit Crystals will be mine!

After looking at the students present, Hu Shan added, “You just lose your Spirit Crystals, but what 1 lose is the face of Sword Master Cliff, so don’t think that I am taking advantage of you. Do you want to bet or not?

“I, Hu Shan, am confident that my Young Master can win, so 1 dare to bet the face of the Sword Master Cliff. If you don’t have the confidence and even fear to wager your Spirit Crystals, it would be better to just admit defeat.” Stung by these words, the Seven-star Study Palace students were suddenly roused into action..
