Chapter 837: Past Resentment

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

What does it mean to have an instant kill?

This was an instant kill!

Ling Xian spoke one statement and Sun Ze Hao and Mo Qing Fu’s prideful expressions froze on their faces.

Originally, when they first heard Ling Xian’s statement, they were very happy. They thought a mortal who hasn’t cultivated would for sure pale in comparison to their apprentices.

But when the words “Eyes of the Falling Stars” entered their ears, their prideful expressions froze and their entire beings stopped functioning.

The ninth-ranked Inner Eyes were something that every single person knows of. It indicated insane capabilities and represents that the person who awakened them is extremely talented.

Yet before their eyes, An Qiu Shui was a mere mortal, yet she had the Eyes of the Falling Stars. It meant she has a bright future. Especially after becoming Ling Xian’s apprentice, her future is deemed to be even brighter.

Nobody will question whether or not she actually has extraordinary talent. Nobody would dare to be suspicious of her achievements in the future.

Therefore, why wouldn’t the two of them be stunned?

He did it on purpose!

He definitely did it on purpose!

Remembering Ling Xian’s fake tone and his choice of words, Sun Ze Hao and Mo Qing Fu cursed silently. But quickly, their expression turned back to being depressed.

Their apprentices were by no means bad. On the contrary, they could be described as top-notch. But compared to a genius with the Eyes of the Falling Stars, they were considered weak.

Since these two were looking depressed, Ling Xian’s lips curled into a faint smile, “It looks like the two of you have heard of it. What about it? My apprentice isn’t bad is she?”

Isn’t bad?

She is obviously far too good!

Sun Ze Hao and Mo Qing Fu shook their heads with a bitter smile. They didn’t think that Ling Xian would acquire an apprentice immediately upon his return. They truly didn’t expect the apprentice to be someone so extraordinary.

“It looks like I’ve won.” Ling Xian continued to smile – a victor’s smile.

“You scumbag!”

Sun Ze Hao cursed, “My status isn’t as high as yours, my cultivation isn’t as high as yours, I don’t have as many women as you. It was hard for me to think of something that I am better than you at. But in the f!cking end, I still lost!”

“Yeah. A rare genius who has awakened the Eyes of the Falling Stars… your apprentice is truly better than mine,” Mo Qing Fu exclaimed softly.

Originally, they were hoping to feel better about themselves by comparing apprentices. But they didn’t expect their action to backfire.

Sun Ze Hao’s descendant was now dark in the face and he looked very crestfallen.

At this, Ling Xian brandished his hand. “This is just their achievement as of now. In terms of who will be better in the future, nobody knows.”

“Haha, nicely put.”

Sun Ze Hao laughed out loud. “Just you wait, Ling Xian. My apprentice will for sure beat yours.”

“Because you cannot win against her Master, you are using your apprentice to fight against mine?” Ling Xian grinned.

“You scumbag, in the entire Yunzhou, who is good enough to fight against you?”

Sun Ze Hao pouted and chuckled, “I for one cannot win against you for sure. We will see whose apprentice is better.”

“Then take your time and wait.”

Ling Xian grinned. Then, he randomly picked out three items out of the gifts he received from the Supreme Headmasters, “Since you are all calling me Uncle, I will have to give you something in return. Take them, these will act as my greeting gifts.”

Then, he flapped around his sleeve. Two of the invaluable treasures landed on the apprentices’ hands.

Instantly, the two of them were shocked and ecstatic. They quickly picked up the gifts, uncertain about how they should react.

They knew that these two treasures had extremely high values and were very expensive. Therefore, they were very happy. But for the same reason, they were a little too afraid to take them.

What could they do? They were far too expensive. How can someone as junior as them dare to accept them?

Seeing this, Sun Ze Hao laughed. “Accept them. Your Uncle is so rich he bleeds money. He doesn’t need these two treasures.”

Only after hearing this, did the two of them sigh in relief. They thanked Ling Xian and placed the treasures into their storage pouch.

“Give this treasure to your apprentice.”

Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards Mo Qing Fu and threw the treasure at him. He smiled, “Though we’ve never met, we’ll still call it a greeting gift.”

“Then I won’t be polite.” Mo Qing Fu warmly smiled and very naturally placed the treasure into his storage pouch.

They were all very aware of the fact that Ling Xian did not need any more treasures. Just now for example, his visitors consisted of the different Dynasties, Houses, and Clans, which summed out to 23 different forces. In other words, he just acquired 23 invaluable treasures.

What did missing three of them mean to him?

“There’s really no need to be polite with me.”

Ling Xian softly smiled and sipped on his wine. Just then, he suddenly sensed a cold gaze staring directly at him. He couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“An enemy?”

Ling Xian frowned slightly. After pinpointing the source of this negative energy, he shook his head and laughed.

Under a giant tree not far from him stood a man wearing all red, looking hateful. He was staring at Ling Xian with extreme jealousy and vile emotions.

Ling Xian remembers this man somewhat. This man was the Heaven’s Favorite from the Xiu Luo House – Ming Sha Sheng.

A long time ago, he had some unfinished business with this person. But he didn’t think that after so many years, this person still couldn’t get over it.

He has gotten over it a long time ago.

Don’t forget, he was now someone at the advanced stage of the original level. In the entire Yunzhou, he would be ranked as one of the top 10 most capable people. Why would he care about a completion leveled cultivator?

Though he was of the same rank as Ming Sha Sheng, their capabilities were night and day already.

Therefore, Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. He didn’t think much about this person.

However, just because he didn’t care doesn’t mean that person also didn’t care.

When the Xiu Luo House’s Leader saw what was happening, he couldn’t help but frown. He walked forward and slapped Ming Sha Sheng in the face.

Pia!

After a crisp slap, a palm imprint appeared on Ming Sha Sheng’s face. This made hatred and humiliation rush up to his eyes. However, he didn’t dare to act irrationally. He could only lower his head and hide the killer’s intent from the leader of the Xiu Luo House.

“Hmmph, do you not fear death? I brought you over so you could apologize to Master Ling. Not only did you not apologize, but you also showed such disrespect towards him. You must be impatient to die.”

Xiu Luo House’s leader hissed. For the Golden Pages many years ago, he had sent people to kill Ling Xian. But today was different than before. Even if people lend him 100 guts, he wouldn’t dare to act in such a manner towards Ling Xian.

Now that Ming Sha Sheng was revealing killer’s intent, how could he not be furious? At once, he slapped him with his palm and knocked out Ming Sha Sheng’s teeth.

At this, Ling Xian shook his head gently. “Supreme Headmaster Xiu Luo, there’s no need for this.”

Hearing this, Xiu Luo Leader’s hand dropped. He then coldly hissed, “To give Master Ling face, I will let you go this once. Go and apologize right now!”

Just then, Ming Sha Sheng’s fists tightened. His eyes were shining with humiliation and anger. However, he didn’t dare to disobey the Supreme Headmaster. All he could do was swallow his humiliation. Then, he arrived before Ling Xian.

“Master Ling, I am sorry.”

Ming Sha Sheng lowered his head. Other than hatred in his eyes, there was only shame.

Before so many people’s eyes, the Supreme Headmaster of the Xiu Luo House slapped him in the face and did not at all care about his pride. Why wouldn’t he be humiliated?

He chose to blame Ling Xian for all of this.
