Chapter 613 613: 281. Splitting the Land to Establish Territory, Famous in All Directions (Part 4)_2
"Indeed, there is one too many. Establishing a mansion in Hexi is the intent of the Holy Church, and we, as citizens of Yongzhou, dare not dispute it. However, just because of Hou Clan's pretty boy, Hou Yuxiao, wanting to put himself on equal footing with our four families, the implications are not limited to just the loss of face for our four families..."
Yuan Tiecheng from the Money Gang was the first to speak, followed by a light chuckle from Duan Hong of Pingtian Gate, who then said, "Chief Yuan is right. I heard that the Hou Clan still only has third-rate recognition from the Holy Church. If we let the Hou Clan take this chair, there would be no place left for our four families' dignity."
Ying Ning'er, the Sect Master of the Moling Sect, should be over a hundred years old, but she looked just like a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in a black, hollowed-out gown that only covered the essential parts. With thirty percent of her fair skin exposed, it was easy to trigger endless fantasies, and her charming almond eyes made her even more seductive and attractive.
After Duan Hong finished speaking, she stepped lightly forward, walked up to the middle seat, and though her face was smiling, a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She reached out her right hand and placed it on the chair prepared for Hou Yuxiao, whispering, "It seems that the three elder brothers and I have similar thoughts. Since we don't need so many, there's no need to keep this chair here..."
As Ying Ning'er spoke, everyone's gaze focused on her hand, all showing more or less a hint of anticipation.
The establishment of the mansion in Hexi hadn't even started yet, and the Hou Clan had already lost face.
Ying Ning'er summoned a burst of Vigorous Qi in her hand, intending to destroy the chair.
Crack...
However, the scene everyone was expecting did not occur, because a slender hand suddenly landed on Ying Ning'er's fair wrist, stopping her. At the same time, a warm and gentle voice also softly rang out, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Rumors say, the Moling Sect always produces beauties, and Yuduan had never really cared about it. Today, seeing the Sect Master's beauty that could overthrow cities and states, I now know the rumors are true. However, it is said that the Sect Master is over a hundred years old; no matter what, Yuduan could never believe it. Sect Master Ying, could you resolve my confusion?"
...
At this moment, everyone present, including Wan Renjue, Yuan Tiecheng, and Duan Hong, displayed a sudden change in expression, but at the same time, they each nodded slightly, revealing a hint of understanding.
The odd looks were because they could never have expected that Old Fifth from the Hou Clan, upon his appearance, would pay such flattering compliments to Ying Ning'er, who was prepared to humiliate the Hou Clan; the understanding looks were based on their previous knowledge of the Hou Clan.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will go awry; Hou Yuxiao, the Head of the Hou Clan, has a way with women, and Hou Yuduan, being his younger brother, naturally is no exception.
In fact, it's no wonder they thought this, as Ying Ning'er's currently beaming face said it all.
Women are inherently unable to resist being praised, especially someone like Ying Ning'er, who holds a high position and is powerful. Usually, even if someone praised her, they would not focus on her looks. For Hou Yuduan to be so straightforward was indeed a first, hitting right where it counted.
The thing she was most sensitive about was her age.
Actually, Ying Ning'er had already sensed Hou Yuduan approaching that very moment, but she chose not to evade.
Firstly, it was because of the words Hou Yuduan spoke, which hit her sore spot.
Secondly, Hou Yuduan's handsome and elegant face, along with the scholarly aura that naturally emanated from him, and those clear, sincere eyes were indeed too misleading.
Ying Ning'er smiled winningly, not in a hurry to pull back her hand. She covered her face with her left hand and giggled shyly, adopting a coquettish tone, "Then according to the Fifth Young Master, how old should this Sect Master be?"
"Judging by appearances, you should be eighteen, but considering Sister Ying's cultivation and strength, that shouldn't be possible. I guess you're at most thirty years old!"
Hou Yuduan's serious guess, along with his certain tone, made Ying Ning'er laugh even harder, her eyes brimming with seductive charm as she gazed at Hou Yuduan.
"Who would have thought Old Fifth had this trick up his sleeve."
"It figures, his older brother is famously handsome."
"Ying Ning'er is completely bewitched, what's the use in watching this excitement!"
...…
Most of the onlookers, seeing the flirtatious interactions between the two, immediately showed various emotions like annoyance, jealousy, disdain, or contempt. Some even started to regard Ying Ning'er, the Sect Master of the Moling Sect, with a hint of scorn.
But still, a few, like Yuan Tiecheng, Wan Renjue, and Duan Hong, as well as the Yuan Dan Realm experts and some leaders of second-rate forces standing behind them, expressed some obscure shades in their eyes.
And a barely perceptible anticipation!
Clearly, they knew something...…
Just then, a red spiritual light suddenly burst out from Ying Ning'er's forehead, targeting precisely Hou Yuduan's forehead. The spiritual light, not physical, landed on the forehead and instantly penetrated into Hou Yuduan's body, vanishing without a trace.
The forehead is the Heavenly Gate Acupoint, which leads to the Sea of Consciousness. The importance of the Martial Artist's Sea of Consciousness need not be mentioned. This scene immediately shocked everyone present, and soon many people quickly realized what had happened.
"This is the Earth Spirit Slave Seal, a trump technique of the Moling Sect."
The words 'Earth Spirit Slave Seal' seemed to have a magical power that made everyone who heard them immediately tense. They looked at Ying Ning'er, now sinister instead of smiling, revealing a hint of fear, then turned to look at Hou Yuduan in front of her, their expressions filled with schadenfreude.
What do you think?
