Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"..."

In front of the Nangong Family's gates, everyone was staring dumbfounded, their faces a picture of utter confusion.

Lu Chen was the most baffled of all.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth agape, and his face was filled with bewilderment. His black pupils, thick with shock and incomprehension, shifted back and forth between Xiao Yi and Li Youruo.

His pupils slowly dilated, and his gaze was replaced by alarm and fear.

Who was Li Youruo?

An elder of Three Seas Mountain, a Peak Tao Tribulation Realm existence, and also the only six-star Array Master of Three Seas Mountain.

Any of these identities, even on their own, could make a person's name resound throughout the Great Qian Dynasty and hold a pivotal status.

It's no exaggeration to say that apart from the Dharma Manifestation Realm ancestors, Li Youruo, the Purple-clad Daoist Chen Ziyi were among the very top existences.

Yet such a being...

Was now kneeling before Xiao Yi, addressing him as master?

Gulp!

Lu Chen swallowed hard, his eyelid twitched, and with a face as if at a funeral, he tentatively asked, "Mas, Master, are, are you mistaken about the person?"

"Shut up!"

Li Youruo glared daggers at him and backhanded him across the face with a slap.

She was acutely aware of how terrifying Xiao Yi was!

With the cultivation of the First Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm, he had slain numerous Tao Tribulation Realm Peak existences on Great Liang Mountain. He was even able to completely overwhelm her and Chen Ziyi on the path of formation mastery with his power alone.

Most importantly...

The "Hundred Volumes of Array Path" Xiao Yi gave her had left her utterly astounded.

For many reasons...

Li Youruo had been completely won over.

Willingly, and even proudly, she took Xiao Yi as her master.

Now, she would have done anything to please Xiao Yi, yet Lu Chen dared to lay hands on him publicly, even attempting to put Xiao Yi in mortal danger?

How could Li Youruo tolerate that?

"Master, you, you hit me for that kid..."

Lu Chen looked at Li Youruo with a face full of grievance.

He was Li Youruo's proud disciple, deeply favored and trusted by her; she had never even scolded him before. When Li Youruo first appeared, he thought his backing had arrived!

In his mind...

Li Youruo would definitely stand up for him and fiercely teach Xiao Yi a lesson!

But now Li Youruo was not only kneeling before Xiao Yi, calling him master, but she also slapped him hard across the face?

Lu Chen felt his world was shattering.

"Shut up!"

Li Youruo slapped him again, a series of slaps that made Lu Chen's head spin with stars, and she scolded with a huff, "Talking about 'that kid' this, 'that kid' that, the person standing before you is your grandmaster!"

"Ah?"

Lu Chen was flabbergasted, his face full of shock, "Mas, Master, you're not joking, are you?"

"Could Master Li have gone mad?"

"Impossible, right as Master Li appeared, she addressed Xiao Yi as master!"

"What on earth is going on here? What merits or abilities does Xiao Yi have to become Master Li's master?" Not only could Lu Chen not accept it, but all the onlookers were also utterly baffled, feeling as if they were hallucinating.

Speaking of cultivation, Xiao Yi was just at the First Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm, whereas Li Youruo was at the Tao Tribulation Realm Peak.

Age-wise, Li Youruo was old enough to be Xiao Yi's grandmother!

How did she become his master?

Li Youruo did not explain but turned around and respectfully saluted Xiao Yi, pleading for her disciple, "Master, please spare his life for my sake!"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Li Youruo's face lit up with joy, and she glared fiercely at Lu Chen, "Aren't you going to come over and kowtow to apologize to your grandmaster?"

A spasm twitched at the corner of Lu Chen's eye, "..."

Just moments ago.

He was thinking about making Xiao Yi kneel down and beg for mercy, but in the blink of an eye, he was forced by Li Youruo to kneel and kowtow to Xiao Yi, even referring to him as grandmaster.

How fortunes turn.

But when it turned to him, it was simply too fast!

Lu Chen was extremely bitter in his heart, but he was helpless, unable to defy Li Youruo's wishes. His head banged repeatedly on the ground as he said with a mournful face, "Grandmaster above, please forgive your disciple's utter disrespect!"

"Get up!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said earnestly, "Remember to keep a low profile in the future when you behave."

"Grandmaster's lesson is well taken!" Lu Chen hurriedly replied.

From the side...

Nangong Jian was completely dumbstruck.

He felt that today was just the pinnacle of bad luck.

When Xiao Yi appeared, he relied on the backing of the Nangong Family, thinking Xiao Yi wouldn't dare to touch him.

Then his arms were broken.

When Lu Chen appeared, he relied on having Lu Chen as his support, believing he could take revenge and wash away his humiliation.

As a result, Lu Chen too was beaten up by Xiao Yi!

Finally, with Li Youruo's arrival, Nangong Jian thought he saw light through the clouds, the light of hope finally descending upon him.

Hopes of vengeance seemed attainable!

Yet...

This grandmaster, who was equivalent to a Dharma Manifestation Realm ancestor in Three Seas Mountain, actually kneeled before Xiao Yi, calling him master!

"What sins have I committed?" Nangong Jian wore a face of misery, a strong sense of regret welling up inside him.

If he had known earlier.

Why did he have to act so arrogantly at that time, insisting on breaking the hands of Yan Mingli and the others?

"Xiao Yi, who gave you the courage to cause trouble within the Nangong Family?" Just then, a roar like thunder came from the sky, as a figure descended from above.@@novelbin@@

Boom!

The figure was surrounded by roiling energy, with a terrifying pressure that weakened the others' legs, nearly bringing them to their knees.

The person was none other than the patriarch of the Nangong Family, Nangong Shengtian!

"Ancestor... You've finally come. That dog bastard Xiao Yi broke my arms, I beg you to take revenge for me!" Just as Nangong Jian was losing all hope, he once again found hope and shouted loudly.

Nangong Shengtian was stunned for a moment, scrutinizing Nangong Jian for a long time, and frowned, "Who are you?"

Nangong Jian: "..."

Now with a swollen face beyond recognition, and his arms severed, sitting slumped on the ground, he was indistinguishable from a beggar. It took Nangong Shengtian a moment to recognize him, as Nangong Jian said with a bitter face, "Ancestor, I... I'm little Jianjian..."

"..."

Nangong Shengtian looked baffled, studying Nangong Jian up and down, and finally recognizing his identity, "You... you're Nangong Jian? Damn, how did you end up like this?"

Nangong Jian, with a pitiful face, exaggerated his story, "Ancestor, it was all Xiao Yi's doing. Following your instructions, I refused the person from Xiaoshanhe Institute who came to discuss cooperation. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi came knocking. He beat me into this state and even severed my arms, you must avenge me..."

"Alright, alright, what a Xiao Yi!"

Nangong Shengtian's eyes blazed with a blood-like red, his teeth clacking with rage, and his ferocious gaze fell on Xiao Yi, he ground his teeth and said, "Xiao Yi, you've gone too far!"

Hum!

A terrible surge of energy formed a fierce wind that rushed towards them.

Among the flying sand and rolling stones.

The layers of tiles on the ground rose and shot towards Xiao Yi.

Bang bang bang!

An invisible barrier formed in front of Xiao Yi, blocking the wind and debris. His eyes slitted, he stared unabashedly at Nangong Shengtian, "So what if I bully you?"
