Chapter 175: Now You Ignore Me, Later You Will Be Unable to Reach High Enough
The Star Battle Arena of the Star Temple is a super-large dueling arena. It resembles a small cave heaven world.
Inside, there are platforms for various cultivation realms. There are also established gambling markets, ticketed gladiatorial arenas, and so on.
Every time the Star Temple invites the myriad heavens and worlds to offer congratulations, the Star Battle Arena is absolutely the liveliest place.
Heroes gather in full splendor. Geniuses compete for supremacy.
Lin Xuan's expression was indifferent. Dressed in snow-white clothes, he sat on the high platform in the center of the Star Battle Arena.
Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, Lin Xuan remained composed. His eyes were calm and waveless like an ancient well.
He drank tea by himself. He filtered the information provided by the system in his mind.
Lin Xuan was extremely excited in his heart.
There were simply too many geniuses and monsters. He could not filter through them all at all.
If he took them all as disciples, he could absolutely ascend on the spot.
"What a weirdo." Gu Qing looked at Lin Xuan's expression and secretly complained.
Lin Xuan was like someone with the memory of a dead fish. Seconds ago, he was furious enough to vomit blood, but now he turned his head and acted as if nothing happened, putting on a calm and breezy facade.
He was just like a patient with split personalities.
"Eh, what is Old Father-in-law coming over for?"
Gu Qing made a light sound of surprise and looked towards Bai Wuya.
Bai Wuya was seen walking onto the high platform with a majestic expression. He walked with the stride of a dragon and tiger, radiating power, flicked his long robe, and plunked down next to Lin Xuan.
He stroked his beautiful beard with one hand. His gaze swept sharply across the entire venue.
Gu Qing: "..."
Lin Xuan: "..."
Elder Xia Zhengfeng of the Star Battle Arena: "..."
What is with the visual sense of an Overlord inspecting his minions rushing towards one's face?
Xia Zhengfeng cupped his hands and said: "I do not know what business brings Elder Bai's honorable presence here?"
"Nothing!"
Bai Wuya's expression was majestic. He had the aspect of temperament firmly under his control.
"This Seat desires to select a beautiful female disciple. Does Elder Xia have any recommendations?"
A beautiful female disciple?
Xia Zhengfeng looked at Bai Wuya in surprise.
Since ancient times, masters choosing disciples look at aptitude and whether they suit their own Daoist method inheritance.
Since when is there only looking at appearance?
Unless Bai Wuya has ulterior motives, not truly taking a disciple but taking a concubine, wanting to spread his branches and leaves.
Using disciples to spread branches and leaves is not any rare matter.
However, Bai Wuya is at such an age. Is an old cow eating tender grass really okay?
The thought flashed by. Xia Zhengfeng said with a smile: "There are some, but I do not know if Elder Bai has requirements for aptitude?"
"Speak in detail!"
"In this sect, there are quite a few proud daughters of heaven with good aptitude and appearance, though most have already taken masters."
"The various Daoist lineages coming to congratulate similarly have many Goddesses, Saintesses, Demon Girls, Devil Girls, Princesses... with supreme beauty and extraordinary gifts..."
As Xia Zhengfeng spoke, he very cooperatively projected images for Bai Wuya to choose from.
As for whether these proud daughters of heaven are willing, or whether Bai Wuya can get his wish, that is none of his business.
"Bang!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Xuan crushed the teacup with one hand. His face looked ugly, and his temples were throbbing.
Two ants in the Venerable Realm actually communicated as if no one else was there. Were they treating him as air?
Although Lin Xuan did not care about Xia Zhengfeng's flattery, just because he did not care did not mean Xia Zhengfeng could ignore him.
Additionally, he hated seeing some people rely on high cultivation and high status to forcefully marry and seize.
Especially seeing Bai Wuya staring fixedly at the projected image of Xiao Hongdou.
Lin Xuan's anger had already reached its peak.
Xiao Hongdou was his internally decided disciple. Bai Wuya daring to plot against her was simply not knowing life from death.
He was definitely going to interfere in this matter today.
"Just her." Bai Wuya did not even look at Lin Xuan once, choosing Xiao Hongdou at a glance.
The reason was none other than that Xiao Hongdou had low cultivation, good aptitude, and supreme beauty.
Moreover, she was only in her teens, with very strong plasticity.
She also had no complicated background, making her the easiest to control among these proud daughters of heaven.
Bai Wuya choosing a disciple was indeed not because he truly wanted a disciple. Nor was it to find a concubine for himself.
It was to find a serving maid for his daughter.
Last time in the Divine Phoenix Empire, he did not have time to select one before a sudden change occurred. Now, a great opportunity was before his eyes.
Bai Wuya did not want to miss it again.
Bai Suying had a special constitution and was not suitable for bearing offspring. So finding someone to substitute was the best choice.
Obviously, Bai Wuya's thinking was extremely stubborn and unchanging.
"Fine, I will have someone invite her grandmother and granddaughter over right now." Xia Zhengfeng nodded slightly and immediately sent a transmission.
Lin Xuan watched with cold eyes, sneering repeatedly in his heart.
With him here, these two ants could forget about hurting a single hair of Xiao Hongdou.
He wanted to see just how shameless Bai Wuya could be.
Not long after, Xiao Hongdou walked onto the high platform trembling with fear.
When she saw Lin Xuan was also there, Xiao Hongdou was immediately so scared her legs went soft.
"Do not panic! Grandma is here for everything." The old woman supported her with a hand, sent a voice transmission, then cupped her hands in salute, her attitude humble.
"Liao Qi pays respects to Senior Lin, and greetings to the two fellow Daoists."
"Fellow Daoist Liao is polite; please sit."
Xia Zhengfeng ignored Lin Xuan and pointed to the seat beside him.
Bai Wuya narrowed his phoenix eyes, looked Xiao Hongdou up and down once, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Are you willing to bow to This Seat as your master?"
"Ah?"
Xiao Hongdou exclaimed, blinked her clear eyes, quickly realized, and looked at Bai Wuya with some hesitation, then at Lin Xuan.
The meaning went without saying.
She thought Bai Wuya and Lin Xuan were in cahoots. So she did not want to bow as a disciple and offend Zhimeng.
She was young and did not want her beauty to lead to an early death.
"Bang!"
Lin Xuan crushed another teacup to indicate that he was a living person and was currently very angry.
"Little girl, do not fear. This Seat is Bai Wuya, Gu Qing's father-in-law." Bai Wuya stroked his beautiful beard and said with composure.
He directly treated Lin Xuan, whose eyes were spurting fire, as air.
It was really that Lin Xuan was too underwhelming.
A dignified Divine Fire Realm, doing nothing all day but jumping up and down. His majesty had already been completely rubbed against the ground by Gu Qing.
The current Lin Xuan, to say nothing of in the eyes of elders, even in the eyes of some disciples, had no credibility to speak of.
Just ignore him directly.
Being continuously ignored by two ants, Lin Xuan's indifferent expression showed a trace of distortion. He went crazy in his heart.
Not knowing why, Lin Xuan suddenly thought of Da Pang.
If Da Pang were here, he would surely stand up for him and be his mouthpiece, right?
With no one to speak for him, Lin Xuan felt like air, paid no attention to anyone, very awkward.
Lin Xuan's thoughts wandered. When he heard Bai Wuya was Gu Qing's father-in-law, a burst of anger surged from the bottom of his heart.
"Who is Bai Suying to you?"
In Lin Xuan's mind, the image inexplicably appeared of Bai Wuya selling his daughter for glory and wealth for the sake of riches and honor.
Bai Suying, with low status and light words, poor, weak, and helpless, had no choice but to serve a thief...
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xuan felt a stabbing pain in his heart. Looking at Bai Wuya again, killing intent leaked from his eyes, and the aura of the Divine Way permeated the air.
"She is my beloved daughter. What does Elder Lin Xuan intend?"
Bai Wuya was not afraid in the slightest. His eyes were cold as a knife, standing in confrontation with Lin Xuan.
The Divine Fire Realm is certainly terrible, terrifying as such.
But majesty is something that, once dropped, can never be picked up again.
Therefore, he did not believe Lin Xuan dared to do anything to him.
"Stop fighting, look quickly..."
"He is Gu Qing's father-in-law..."
"Which Gu Qing? The Gu Qing with the Starry Cosmos Divine Body..."
The confrontation between the two instantly attracted the attention of the whole venue. Everyone began to discuss.
Looking at Lin Xuan, there were gazes of disdain and spurning.
There was no helping it; who let Lin Xuan behave without respect for his elders and use his status to bully the young?
If that was not enough, Lin Xuan was repeatedly slapped in the face by Gu Qing, simply losing all the majesty of the Divine Fire Realm.
This kind of person is not worthy of the Divine Fire Realm."
..."
Lin Xuan looked at Bai Wuya, who was happy and unafraid, then at the people in the venue, somewhat doubting life.
He could not figure out how Bai Wuya dared to confront him.
How did these ants dare to despise him?
Did they not know the Divine Fire Realm could not be insulted?
Additionally, he had not offended the people present, right?
Lin Xuan felt a burning pain on his face, but soon, Lin Xuan recovered his calm. The corner of his mouth hooked into a cold sneer.
He understood.
The reason these ants hated him was definitely because of Zhimeng.
They worshipped Zhimeng as a goddess.
And Bai Wuya.
Did he think that by hugging Gu Qing's thigh, there would be endless riches and honor to enjoy?
Ridiculous.
Gu Qing was insidious, cunning, ruthless, and vicious. He merely treated Bai Suying as a plaything.
If Bai Wuya had no value to use, he would absolutely kick him away without hesitation.
Lin Xuan was too lazy to bother with these short-sighted ants.
Facts speak louder than words.
One day, he would slap back with absolute strength.
Now they ignore him, but later he would make these people unable to reach high enough.
