Divine King of Honour

Chapter 125 Liu Mushan's Provocation

Xu Nian was dumbfounded by the question.

"Audacity incarnate?"

How had he become the epitome of brazenness?

Beside him, both Chen Xifeng and Dugu Jingcheng looked at Xu Nian with skeptical eyes.

The woman in the white dress seemed to notice Xu Nian's confusion, and with a laugh, she asked, "You know Chen Yao, right?"

As soon as Xu Nian heard that name, he understood immediately.

However, he hadn't expected that Chen Yao would spread such a scandalous story.

"I've seen many ways of pursuing little sister Chen Yao, but it's the first time I've seen someone strip naked and run in front of a girl. Do you think that little sister Chen Yao will fancy your body? How about you strip for me too?" The woman in the white dress said with a light laugh, her eyes carrying a playful smirk.

Chen Xifeng and Dugu Jingcheng looked at Xu Nian as if they were looking at a pervert.

Xu Nian was speechless.

How had it become him stripping in front of Chen Yao?

It was clearly he who had seen and touched Chen Yao.

Yet Xu Nian didn't dare to argue because wouldn't that make him seem even more lecherous?

"Little sister Chen Yao is recognized as the number one beauty of the Battle Mansion, not to mention her talent and status. You can imagine how popular she is in the Battle Mansion. Not just the low-level members, most of the mid-level students are her admirers, too. Don't say I didn't warn you, your sleazy act has spread throughout the entire Battle Mansion. A lot of people are out to get you; you better pray for your own sake," said the woman in the white dress with a light laugh, before directly tossing a storage ring to Xu Nian.

Hearing this, Xu Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He had just joined the Battle Mansion and had already made a whole bunch of enemies; life here was not going to be easy.

Indeed, just as Xu Nian and his companions were preparing to leave the Battle Hall, those four chatting members of the Battle Mansion surrounded them, blocking Xu Nian's path.

Xu Nian instinctively furrowed his brow, sensing the unfriendliness of the newcomers.

All four members of the Battle Mansion were dressed in the Mansion's specialized battle robes. Three of them had a single heart embroidered on their chests, while the leader had two, indicating their ranks within the Battle Mansion.

Xu Nian had used his Spiritual Sense to probe the strength of these four, amongst whom the members with a single star on their chest were all Two-star at the Silver Moon Realm, two Spirit Cultivators and one Body Cultivator, whereas the young man with two stars on his chest was a Three-star Body Sect member.

Being part of the Battle Mansion meant they were all geniuses, their battle prowess far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators at the same level.

"What do you want?" Chen Xifeng could also tell that the newcomers bore ill intent and asked coldly.

"We don't want much, just to greet you newcomers who've just joined the Battle Mansion. Don't think you've come to heaven. That so-called Academy tournament champion is just child's play. To become a true member of the Battle Mansion, one must undergo the true test of blood and murder. If you don't have the guts, get out of the Battle Mansion," the leading Two-star young man said with a cold laugh, his eyes riveted on Xu Nian, filled with provocation.

Chen Xifeng immediately grew angry and was about to take action but was stopped by Xu Nian, who turned to the leader with a smile and said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior brother. We will work hard to become qualified members of the Battle Mansion. If there's nothing else, then we'll be on our way."

With that, he prepared to leave with Chen Xifeng and Dugu Jingcheng.

"Stop, did I say you could go?" the young man raised his voice.

"Is there anything else, senior brother?" Xu Nian turned and asked.

The young man sneered and said to Xu Nian, "Kid, you seem to be quite shrewd, with impressive tolerance. But let me warn you, you'd better stay away from Junior Sister Chen Yao. I don't care whether that matter is true or not, just don't let me see you near Junior Sister Chen Yao again, or you will die a miserable death."

The three lackeys behind the Two-star young man showed mocking expressions on their faces upon hearing this.

The woman in the white dress also looked over with a playful look in her eyes.

Xu Nian, however, smiled and said to the Two-star young man, "Senior Brother, whatever my relationship is with Chen Yao, it seems to be none of your business. As for where I show up, that's my freedom. If Senior Brother finds it displeasing, feel free to make a move. I, Xu Nian, will accompany you with all my strength."

Xu Nian's voice was not loud, but it carried weight, with an impressive momentum.

The Two-star young man was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xu Nian to suddenly drop his previous restraint and become so tough, which made him feel humiliated.

"Senior Brother Liu, let me teach him a lesson," said a Two-star Body Sect member from behind the Two-star young man.

But before he could nod, a cold voice intervened.

"Fighting is forbidden within the Battle Hall! If you want to fight, take it outside!"

The one who spoke was the woman in the white dress.

The Two-star Body Sect young man's face fell, clearly aware of the woman's prowess and not daring to offend her. Your journey continues on empire

The Two-star young man also frowned slightly, knowing that this was the woman in the white dress giving him a reminder.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time, kid. Remember my name, I'm Liu Mushan, and we'll be meeting again soon." With a cold snort, the Two-star young man left the Battle Hall with the three people behind him.

Xu Nian responded to the woman in the white dress with a smile, then left the Battle Hall with Dugu Jingcheng and Chen Xifeng, heading towards the residence assigned to them.

The woman in the white dress watched Xu Nian's departing figure with a light smile in her eyes.

"Interesting, anyone with clear eyes could see that Chen Yao was lying, but because of the lie, the effect was even stronger. Xu Nian seems to be quite shrewd, with good strength and talent too, but he's just too young, not my type, alas, what a pity!" The woman in the white dress sighed and then continued with her work.

Indeed, what the woman in the white dress said was correct.

Not many believed Chen Yao's lie, but for her to target someone so specifically, it meant she either truly harbored a grudge or cared a great deal about that person. No matter the angle, Chen Yao's suitors would find trouble for Xu Nian.

If it was the former, they would be happy to strike Xu Nian to earn a smile from the beauty.

If it was the latter, it meant a rival in love, who must be eliminated quickly.

Walking on the road, Xu Nian also came to understand this point.

In other words, life in the Battle Mansion would be much more difficult than he had imagined.

Moreover, Xu Nian's decision to hold back just now was because Liu Mushan and the other three all exuded a certain aura, which was the aura of killing intent.

Killing intent was not something one could simply wish to possess; it had to be acquired through real slaughter, killing enough people to have such a presence.

Liu Mubai's killing intent was clearly stronger than the other three, which meant he had killed more people.

So Xu Nian had no doubt about Liu Mushan's words.

To become a qualified member of the Battle Mansion, one had to undergo a baptism of blood.

"It seems that life in the Battle Mansion won't be too boring after all," Xu Nian said to himself, with unabashed excitement dancing in the depths of his eyes.
