Chapter 451: When Have I Ever Been Shameless? (Part 1)

Sun Xiaoyang's temper flared, and he didn't care if Xue Fuxiao had just finished a major battle or not. This surging rage needed an outlet.

If I don't vent, I'll explode!

Seeing Sun Xiaoyang's demeanor, if he truly took action, he would be relentless. Once a fight broke out, half of the White Cloud Continent might be directly wiped out.

Xue Fuxiao sighed, recalling the countermeasure that Dongfang Sansan had decided upon long ago.

"If I play with Sun Xiaoyang like this, he'll definitely be unhappy when he finds out. He might even fly into a rage and seek revenge through killing. That demon is capable of such acts."

"I previously asked you to show hesitation during your battle with him. Did you do it?"

"Yes, I did."

"How did Sun Xiaoyang react?"

"At that time, he said that I might have reached the Recognition Barrier Period."

"Then it's settled. If he discovers this one day and gets angry at you, you should do this and that, and then crush his momentum. Seize the opportunity to curse him out and vent your frustration."

"For example?"

"When dealing with Sun Xiaoyang, you need to learn how to manipulate him."

"I understand. I'll manipulate him, but how exactly should I do it?"

"Oh, are you stupid? First, let him explode... and then..."

Now, seeing Sun Xiaoyang's realization and his ensuing rage, Xue Fuxiao instantly recalled the countermeasure that Dongfang Sansan had arranged years in advance.

Xue Fuxiao frowned, slightly displaying his momentum, and with a flash in his eyes, a sword intent surged forth.

In an instant, Sun Xiaoyang and Fengyun Qi were startled, their clothes fluttering in the wind.

Could this guy be about to take action?

"You and I are enemies. Even if I play with you, so what? I didn't want to explain to you, but this sword of mine is all I have. I've only just taken a Half Step. Can't you sense it? Are you stupid?"

Xue Fuxiao looked at Sun Xiaoyang with disdain, "Do you even have a brain? Can't I even break through? Do I have such great enthusiasm to play with you? You're not even my son!"

Sun Xiaoyang's raging momentum suddenly paused, "You just broke through?"

"It's not exactly a fresh breakthrough. During our previous battles, we entered the Recognition Barrier Period, and you mentioned it then."

Xue Fuxiao explained.

Sun Xiaoyang suddenly recalled this, and he felt a bit embarrassed, "Oh, oh, yes, I forgot."

"Why, aren't I playing with you?"

Xue Fuxiao gave him a sidelong glance, his face as cold as frost. But inside, he felt relieved. Sun Xiaoyang was indeed caught off guard!

Sun Xiaoyang felt a bit guilty and coughed, "Anyway, if you want to fight me, who told you to break through so quickly? The Recognition Barrier Period isn't usually this short."

Xue Fuxiao hummed, "Speak straightforwardly! Admit that I'm not playing with you."

"Cough, breaking through is a good thing. Do you want to celebrate with a drink?"

Sun Xiaoyang's momentum vanished, and he even sounded a bit unconfident, trying to appease, "With a lifelong rival and opponent, I should congratulate you. How about it?"

Sun Xiaoyang softened.

He actually softened!

Xue Fuxiao seized the opportunity, "Sun Xiaoyang, you damn dog! Earlier, you actually cursed at me!"

"What did you take me for?"

"You lied, you played with me, you hid things... Do you think I'm willing to lose? You show off after your breakthrough, and you even blame me for it?!"

Xue Fuxiao's saliva sprayed everywhere, "You cursed at me, and it sounded so harsh!"

Sun Xiaoyang wanted to get angry, but he felt guilty and had no confidence, so he couldn't muster the anger.

He muttered, his tone defiant, "I'm your enemy, a life-and-death rival! I'm not your friend, so why should I care?"

Xue Fuxiao's anger exploded like thunder, "Nonsense! How dare you! After so many years, I may not look highly upon you, but when have I ever been shameless? I have my martial arts cultivation and status. Despite being your rival, have I ever looked down on you? Yet, in your eyes, I'm just a despicable person!"

Sun Xiaoyang's eyes widened, and he stood there, unable to retort.

He couldn't even argue back.

Because he felt that he was indeed in the wrong, and he owed Xue Fuxiao an apology.

I can blink without batting an eye at the sight of thousands dying.

But against an equally matched opponent, I cannot be unfair.

So, Sun Xiaoyang believed he deserved the scolding.

When being scolded, stand straight.

When being cursed, maintain proper decorum.

So, Sun Xiaoyang's current attitude was very proper.

When Xue Fuxiao had finished cursing and was running out of words, flipping back and forth, Fengyun Qi finally started to mediate, "Alright, alright... Calm down... It's not that big of a deal..."

Sun Xiaoyang wiped his face with dissatisfaction, "You only come to mediate after he's finished cursing... You old bastard..."

He glared at Fengyun Qi.

Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately said, "This isn't entirely my fault. You said I have hidden strength, and I'm not your match. You said we should wait until after a real battle!"

Xue Fuxiao turned to look at Fengyun Qi, his anger not abating, "Chess player, you're not being fair. Ah. We're both not satisfied until one of us dies, right?"

Never expected to be the target of gossip.

Fengyun Qi twisted his face, "Sun Xiaoyang, you're really good at selling yourself, huh? When you have nothing to say, you start selling yourself?"

Sun Xiaoyang finally found a way to ease the awkwardness, and he immediately said, "Do you dare say you have no words? You two haven't officially challenged each other, so the Cloud Weapon Ranking can't be changed. Is that also wrong?"

Fengyun Qi's heart and liver trembled, "I said the time isn't here yet, and since you two haven't issued a formal challenge, the Cloud Weapon Ranking can't be adjusted. Is that also wrong?"

Sun Xiaoyang, do you think you obtained the position of First Seat in the Only Righteous Sect through deceit and manipulation?"

Sun Xiaoyang successfully shifted the focus, and as long as Xue Fuxiao remained silent, he could escape this awkward situation. So, he glared at Fengyun Qi, "You dare to insult me! You, of all people, dare to insult me now!"

Fengyun Qi held his breath, feeling as if he would rather die than endure this.

With a groan, he said, "Sun Xiaoyang, were you a woman in your past life? The way you speak is so similar to my ex-wife..."

Sun Xiaoyang was stunned.

This sentence was impossible to respond to!

Xue Fuxiao burst into laughter, "Brother Qi, calm down, calm down... It's not a big deal. Besides, you can't just treat Sun Xiaoyang like your wife and..." He paused, looking at Sun Xiaoyang, "...and I'd be disgusted if you did."

Sun Xiaoyang glared at him, "What do you mean by that?"

Fengyun Qi, having successfully extricated himself, resumed his act of being a good person, "Let's all sit down. Even if we're from different factions, there's no need to start arguing as soon as we meet. I have wine and food in my ring, let's have a drink. It's not easy for the three of us to be together like this..."

Sun Xiaoyang felt that he had put Xue Fuxiao in a difficult position today, so he sat down as well, his face cold as he said, "Who knows, maybe that Xue guy is as stubborn as a woman, and won't even drink this wine."

Xue Fuxiao half-heartedly sat down, smiling, "Brother Qi's wine is worth drinking. Besides, Brother Sun, am I the kind of person to hold a grudge? Even if we were enemies, I wouldn't be so petty. What's the harm in having a drink? You've been unreasonable more than once, and I'm used to it by now... Brother Qi, isn't that right?"

Fengyun Qi nodded repeatedly as he took out the wine and food, "Yes, yes, look at this food, look at this wine... I must say, it's getting harder to find old acquaintances these days. The three of us drinking together is a rare occasion, and we should make the most of it. Let's agree that when the time comes for you two to have that battle, I'll be there to witness it and update the Cloud Weapon Ranking."

Sun Xiaoyang had so much to say, but these two kept interrupting him, going off on long-winded tangents and covering up the topic.

If he brought it up again, it would seem like he lacked manners.

But if he didn't, wouldn't he be admitting to being petty?

Finally, after a cup of wine, Sun Xiaoyang found an opportunity to bring the conversation back on track, "Earlier, who were you saying had a narrow mind..."

Xue Fuxiao turned to Fengyun Qi, "Brother Qi, tell us about the Yin Yang Realm. I wanted to send someone to participate, but the Only Righteous Sect sent the Vice Sect Leader to intercept me... Now I can't complete my task, and I'll be in trouble when I report back to Dongfang Sansan."

Sun Xiaoyang's provocation was interrupted once again.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable; instead, he felt a bit proud.

So, Xue Fuxiao, you got played by Chen Gu, huh? Well, if you didn't complete your task, what can you say to Dongfang Sansan?

Hehe, it's better that the task wasn't completed. It's even harder to explain to Dongfang Sansan now...

Sun Xiaoyang felt a sense of relief.

Because... I completed my task. Xue Fuxiao didn't send anyone in, but I sent three! If it weren't for protecting the Night Demon, even that Dong guy wouldn't have made it in!

Hmph!

Fengyun Qi immediately understood, "So you brought this kid to participate in the Yin Yang Realm?"

Xue Fuxiao sighed and explained, "The Yin Yang Realm, it was only when everyone gathered at the Four Seas and Eight Directions Tower that our headquarters received the news. Dongfang Sansan asked me to deliver someone overnight... So I chose this Feng Guohai, but halfway..."

He then smiled bitterly at Sun Xiaoyang, "Old Sun, your insider is really something else."

Sun Xiaoyang rolled his eyes, "You're blaming the insider for exposing your whereabouts? With your abilities, if you had acted more discreetly, who would've known where you were going?"

"That's true. I was a bit hasty..." Xue Fuxiao sighed.

Sun Xiaoyang remained cold, "So don't blame someone for intentionally intercepting and delaying you."

Xue Fuxiao hummed, remaining silent for a while before speaking, "I thought the Only Righteous Sect only had Feng Yun here... Oh, I never expected that you, disguised, would be here overseeing everything! We never expected this, so..."

Sun Xiaoyang felt even more proud, speaking calmly, "I'm here just to observe."

He didn't mention that it was a coincidence that he was here too.

Instead, he acted as if he had known all along, as if to show his intelligence.

Xue Fuxiao didn't feel like talking anymore. He drank cup after cup of wine, got up to feed a pill to the unconscious Feng Guohai, and then continued drinking.

But Fengyun Qi wasn't having it, "Feng Guohai? Someone from the Feng family?"

"Yes." Xue Fuxiao nodded, then his eyes widened in realization as he looked at Fengyun Qi.

Fengyun Qi became furious, "The Only Righteous Sect is truly despicable!"

Sun Xiaoyang couldn't take it anymore, "Are you two ever going to stop? Your family? What does it have to do with you!"

Fengyun Qi shouted, "This Feng kid is a descendant of our family! Because your Vice Sect Leader interfered, my family member couldn't receive the benefits of the Cloud Weapon Ranking! You say the Only Righteous Sect isn't despicable, but this is cutting off a descendant's future!

Sun Xiaoyang was taken aback, "Your family?"

"I'm Fengyun Qi, and this kid is Feng Guohai. What do you say to that?"

Fengyun Qi raged, "What the Only Righteous Sect did is called human resources? You're telling me that the first-ranked expert on the Cloud Weapon Ranking, who was sent to participate, missed out because of you! Isn't this a despicable act?"

Action: "Xiao Xiaoyang frowned and said, "He's currently in second place!"

"I don't care if he's first or second! The point is, they've ruined our plans!" Fengyun Qi was relentless.

"Whoever did this, you go after them! Why are you yelling at me?"

Xiao Xiaoyang was at a loss.

Fengyun Qi angrily said, "Two Black-White Ginsengs! They must compensate me!"

Xiao Xiaoyang rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and couldn't afford to offend either of them. "After this is over, if there are any, I'll follow your lead. Is that okay?"

"That's more like it."

Fengyun Qi finally got what he wanted and was satisfied.

Even the lying 'descendant of many generations' stopped paying attention and started happily drinking.

To him... Feng Guosai was nothing. He was a descendant born thousands of years later. Who would recognize him?

But Xiao Xiaoyang was just using this as an excuse to take advantage of Fengyun Qi.

"How long has it been in the Yin Yang Realm?"

Xue Fuxiao asked.

"It'll end today," Xiao Xiaoyang said with a hint of schadenfreude as he drank.

"Hehe..."

Xue Fuxiao fell silent again.

It was clear he was feeling frustrated.

Xiao Xiaoyang felt even more pleased.

He frequently clinked glasses with Fengyun Qi as they drank.

"Let's talk about this time's matter," Xiao Xiaoyang said.

Xue Fuxiao sighed and said, "Specifically, what happened? I've been fighting this whole time, for over half a month, but I still know nothing about the situation over there. Did any of our Guardians enter?"

"Two people entered, supposedly the guardians of the main hall. One is called Fang Che, and the other is Dong Yun Yu."

Xue Fuxiao's expression relaxed. "Then that's good. As long as someone entered, that's what matters."

Xiao Xiaoyang coughed.

He picked up his glass, gently swirling the wine, and said, "Perhaps they've already died inside."

"Fang Che shouldn't have," Xue Fuxiao said.

Xiao Xiaoyang swirled the wine in his glass.

"Oh?"

Xue Fuxiao furrowed his brows, studying Xiao Xiaoyang. "You seem rather pleased with yourself?"

Xiao Xiaoyang's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm. "You've accomplished nothing, so shouldn't I be pleased?"

Xue Fuxiao was left speechless.

"Let's talk about the Yin Yang Realm. I should at least report back after returning," Xiao Xiaoyang said.

Fengyun Qi hummed. "You let me win at chess, I'm busy, and I don't have time."

Fengyun Qi smiled slightly. "There's still time. I'll slowly explain everything to you, but I have one request."

"Go on."

"If the Guardians can obtain the Black-White Ginsengs, I want one."

Fengyun Qi said, "You know that Old Fang has been in a coma for seventeen years. One life has always lingered in the Yin Yang Realm..."

Xue Fuxiao spoke solemnly. "About that, I can't give you an answer for now. After all, even though I hold a high position, I can't force my subordinates to contribute the fruits of their life-and-death battles."

He immediately said, "Old Fang? Fang Lao Liu? Is he still not well? If it's Fang Lao Liu, Sansan should agree."

Xiao Xiaoyang glanced at him and let out a cold snort.

"How absurd!"

Xiao Xiaoyang said, "We can see their treasures, and we're giving them face. Is there even a need to discuss this? It's laughable!"

Xue Fuxiao also snorted coldly. "So I'm not you. And I'm not the Only Me Righteous Sect!"

"Aiya... let's talk about the important matters."

Fengyun Qi felt a headache coming on.

These two could handle matters with just a few words, and they've been fighting for so many years yet they're still alive. This was truly a miracle.

Xiao Xiaoyang drank silently.

Fengyun Qi began his explanation.

"This matter... let's start from the beginning..."

Fengyun Qi rambled on, and it turned out he was just recounting the previous Yin Yang Realm's trial situations, and then how he tried to gather intelligence.

Then he began talking about this time's Yin Yang Realm matter.

"... Fang Che forcefully registered and created conflicts... Feng Yun... In the end, everyone was forced to enter; whether Guardians or members of the Only Me Righteous Sect, people entered..."

Fengyun Qi said, "... In a sense, this also changed the rules."

Xue Fuxiao's expression turned serious. "So, you just watched? Old Xiao, this isn't like you."

Xiao Xiaoyang calmly said, "What's the rush? People are still inside the Yin Yang Realm, and they haven't come out yet. If we act now, what if they destroy the rules of the Yin Yang Realm and people can't come out?"

Xue Fuxiao narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

A murderous smile appeared on Xiao Xiaoyang's face. "This matter has nothing to do with you Guardians. You can watch the show." "You're putting on a performance?"

Xue Fuxiao's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Xiao Xiaoyang calmly said, "I'm the lead actor."

Xue Fuxiao said, "Then I want to take a breath first."

"You go ahead."

Xiao Xiaoyang leisurely picked up his glass, looked at the wine swirling in the glass, his expression unperturbed, and secretly delighted.

He felt that this time, in every aspect, he had thoroughly crushed Xue Fuxiao into dust.

Xue Fuxiao wanted to do something, but nothing came to fruition.

This was the correct and proper order.

Xiao Xiaoyang forced himself to maintain a somber expression, but a smile tugged at his lips. He then raised the glass and drank it all in one go.

His brows and eyes were triumphant and fierce.

Xue Fuxiao was feeling frustrated.

But this guy's arrogance in front of him still annoyed Xiao Xiaoyang.

So he stood up and said, "I'll go chat with the Heavenly Palace and Underworld." His body flashed, and he disappeared.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Xiaoyang felt refreshed, and his speech even had a slight slur.

Fengyun Qi sighed and muttered to himself, "Small-minded."

Sun Xiaoyang's sinister gaze turned towards him, "Let's play a game!"

"Spare me..."

...

Several Xingjuns from the Heavenly Palace and several Kings from the Underworld gathered together, all with worried expressions.

Dealing with Fengyun Qi alone was already challenging enough. Fortunately, Fengyun Qi maintained a neutral stance, and his sole purpose was to gather intelligence, perfecting the information network he had pursued his entire life.
