Chapter 2947 - 2948: Sparring

Chapter 2947: Chapter 2948: Sparring

Because of my status, I cannot act, but Yi Guyun, as a disciple of Senluo Valley, it’s perfectly fitting for her to spar.

Thinking this, Shen Hao couldn’t help but relax, and introduced with a smile.

"Come, let me introduce someone. This is the current top disciple of Senluo Valley, and my right-hand in managing the sect, Guyun, aren’t you coming over to greet Second Master Wu?"

Yi Guyun was feeling very unsettled at that moment.

Because of last night’s incident, she not only lost face as a woman but also something very important.

Her comb was unexpectedly missing.

It might sound trivial, but that comb was extremely special, at least to Yi Guyun, it was extraordinarily significant.

Thus, when she discovered it missing in the morning, Yi Guyun was nearly frantic, searching with the maid Huan’er for half the day, still to no avail, and reluctantly had to come out.

But she could not suppress the agitation in her heart.

So when she heard Shen Hao’s words, she merely gave Wu Shaobei a cold nod without further acknowledgment.

This attitude made Wu Shaobei greatly discontent.

Though officially this visit was under the guise of the new Family Head, it was indeed about Xue An.

But Wu Shaobei, being the Second Master of the Wu Family, his every move outside relates to the family’s honor.

And Yi Guyun dared to be so rude; isn’t this a slap in the face to the Wu Family?

One should know the Wu Family, though declining over the years, still has its foundation, not to be underestimated by a mere disciple like her.

Wu Shaobei snorted angrily, about to lose his temper.

Just at that moment, a bell rang within the grand hall.

Everyone trembled in unison.

Shen Hao proclaimed, "The Valley Master has arrived, follow me!"

Saying so, he tidied his attire and led the group into the grand hall.

Only by entering in person could one truly appreciate the grandeur and magnificence of this grand hall.

The hall stood at a staggering hundred meters tall, with a heavy roof supported by extremely thick pillars, giving one a sense of insignificance while walking within.

Everything in sight was enormous.

Even an oil lamp for illumination was much bigger than usual.

In the center of the hall stood a throne several dozen meters high.

The throne looked like a mountain, imposing an infinite pressure.

Ordinary strong individuals would not dare to lift their heads to gaze at the throne here.

And this effect is precisely what the hall aims to create.

Because it naturally makes you feel that those who sit on this throne are destined to be superior.

This subtle contest of aura is very intricate.

The slightest difference can determine life and death.

Yet Xue An didn’t care about this; in fact, since entering the hall, his eyes haven’t left the throne.

No matter how he looked, he could only see the mist enveloping the sides of the throne.

There seemed to be a figure within, but the specific appearance was unclear.

This phenomenon remained unchanged even standing beneath the throne.

Xue An knew it must be some sort of shielding array.

But what does the Valley Master of Senluo Valley have to hide?

While puzzled, he saw Shen Hao bow deeply to the throne.

"Valley Master, the people from Wu Family are here!"

Wu Shaobei stepped forward, also bowing deeply.

"Wu Shaobei of Wu Family, greetings to the Valley Master!"

The throne remained silent for a moment before a gentle laugh came forth.

"So it’s Second Master Wu himself, how rare!"

The voice was small, the laugh quite plain, yet hearing it fills one with reverence.

At least Wu Shaobei’s head dropped even lower.

"The Valley Master jests, in your presence, how dare I call myself Second Master! This is a letter from our new Family Head; please have a look!"

Wu Shaobei held out a letter with both hands.

The next moment, the letter flew up into the mist.

Soon after, a sigh echoed from the throne.

"I’ve heard of your former Family Head Wu Shaoyong’s mysterious death. Now, having his heir continue the family business surely comforts his spirit above!"

"Just as the letter states, our partnership continues as before!"

Wu Shaobei felt joyful inside.

He’d considered many scenarios, even thought it might not succeed.

Given the disparity in strength now between Wu Family and Senluo Valley, if the Valley refused, there’d be no recourse.

Who would’ve thought it would go smoothly.

This counts as an unexpected gain.

Thinking this, Wu Shaobei glanced at Xue An secretly.

The meaning was clear: my part is done; now it’s your turn!

Xue An knew what he meant but didn’t rush; instead, he contacted Nai Yingying telepathically.

"How goes it? Did you find it?"

Nai Yingying coolly replied, "Found it. These people are truly cunning; the entrance is beneath the throne!"

Actually, Xue An had already suspected; hearing Nai Yingying’s confirmation only solidified it.

"Excellent, let’s proceed with the next step!"

Saying this, Xue An raised his head, speaking directly to the eager-to-talk Yi Guyun.

"Miss, you’ve been observing me since I arrived; would you like to spar?"

Yi Guyun was deeply shaken.

One, because the young man said what she intended.

Shen Hao had secretly instructed her to provoke this young man into action and defeat him.

She was pondering how to proceed when Xue An preemptively spoke.

But this surprise was secondary.

What shocked her most was the voice.

Last night, the voice that taunted her from outside while she bathed resembled this voice closely!

Thinking this, Yi Guyun couldn’t help but rage.

Well well!

This is truly "seeking high and low found by chance"; she thought she wouldn’t find the scoundrel again!

But unexpectedly, the scoundrel appeared voluntarily today.

Still in such a setting.

Yi Guyun grew angrier the more she thought, gritting her teeth, glaring at Xue An.

"Fine! That’s exactly what I wanted!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

This was a case of fighting at the drop of a hat.

Both parties seemed aware the fight was inevitable, thus tacitly retreated, creating a large space.

Yi Guyun stared intently at the indifferent Xue An, eyes aflame.

He looked fine outwardly, yet committed such vile acts, truly intolerable.

Xue An faced her gaze calmly, knowing why she was so angry.

But speaking now would be futile.

"Let’s begin!"

"Hmph!"

Yi Guyun wasted no words, attacking immediately!

A streak of cloud-like force, straight at Xue An.
