Chapter 337: You’re Really Impressive!

Soon, the battle was over.

Xiao Muyang pierced Xu Yulong’s right arm with the ultimate move of the “Pure Yang Heaven Splitting Sword”.

Looking at the blood on Xu Yulong’s sleeve, Xiao Muyang laughed proudly. “Sect Master Xu, thank you for letting me win!”

“Hmph!” Xu Yulong was so angry that his beard trembled.

If he lost this battle, the Golden Saber Sect’s reputation would definitely suffer. He didn’t want to stay any longer and prepared to turn around and leave.

At this moment, a voice from below made Xu Yulong suddenly stop…

“Your Majesty, so you’re here too!”

Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang suddenly looked down.

On the ground ten thousand feet below, the Holy Lord of Heaven Lake, Jiang Yufei, and the others of the High Heaven Pavilion were bowing to a beautiful woman.

Because they were both big shots of the North Mystic Heaven’s martial arts world, Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang recognized the Holy Lord of Heaven Lake and Jiang Yufei at a glance.

This made the two of them panic slightly and they looked at the beautiful woman below anxiously.

“Your Majesty… could this fairy be the empress?!”

Thinking of this, the two of them immediately landed on the ground and bowed to Donghuang Ziyou behind the Holy Lord of Heaven Lake and the others.

Seeing Lin Xuan walk forward with Xuan Zhu and the others, the group hurriedly bowed to Lin Xuan.

Everyone in the auction hall hurriedly knelt down after a short daze.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

“Greetings, Consort!”

Everyone’s eyes were filled with excitement.

Who would have thought that they would actually see the empress and her family of six at today’s Island Flower Lantern Festival?

This made everyone feel like they were in a dream.

When they saw Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou appear, everyone bowed.

Xia Xinyue couldn’t help but stare at Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou with bright eyes.

“This family is really impressive!”

Although she was still young and didn’t understand what Empress Mystic Ice and the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort meant to everyone,

However, Xia Xinyue knew that everyone was afraid of Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang just now.

And now, Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang were both afraid of Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou.

In that case, Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou were the most powerful people.

Xia Xinyue bit her lip and thought of her poor mother and Xia Siming’s ruthlessness.

A powerful force instantly erupted from her small body.

She rushed forward and knelt in front of Donghuang Ziyou and Lin Xuan while shouting,

“Sir, Madam, please save me! I don’t want to be given away!”

Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang’s expressions changed drastically when they heard this, and they were alarmed.

As for Xia Siming, he was already trembling in fear and couldn’t speak at all.

The empress’ might was like heavenly punishment.

Not to mention, the empress’ husband was standing beside her.

Even if Xia Siming was given a thousand guts, he wouldn’t dare to berate Xia Xinyue in front of Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou!

Donghuang Ziyou looked at Xia Xinyue deeply and her gaze landed on Xu Yulong and the others.

With her intelligence, she could naturally guess that the battle between Xu Yulong and the others was probably related to Xia Xinyue.

So she asked calmly, “What’s going on?”

Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang trembled slightly.

They were afraid that others would spout nonsense.

Xu Yulong hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, I’m the sect master of the Golden Saber Sect, Xu Yulong. Today, when I saw that this girl’s father wanted to give her to someone else to raise, I felt sympathetic and wanted to adopt her.”

Xiao Muyang nodded to himself. Xu Yulong had euphemized it without exposing their true goal.

So he said, “I’m the Sect Master of the Yang Sword Sect, Xiao Muyang. I also want to adopt this girl, so I had a conflict with Sect Master Xu and we decided to decide who can adopt this child through a martial arts competition.”

The two of them couldn’t help but look at each other.

They all knew that they couldn’t tell her the real purpose of adopting Xia Xinyue.

Otherwise, the two sects would definitely be despised by the world.

They would also be condemned by everyone and might even be punished by the empress.

Donghuang Ziyou’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold light.

“Is it really as simple as an adoption?”

In her opinion, the two sect masters fighting over a little girl proved that things were definitely not as simple as adopting her!

Coupled with Xia Xinyue’s special physique,

Donghuang Ziyou boldly guessed that these two people probably wanted to refine Xia Xinyue as a furnace.

However, she wouldn’t casually say this deduction.

The best way was to force Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang to confess.

Donghuang Ziyou felt that since she had encountered this matter, she had to completely resolve it and give North Mystic Heaven’s martial arts sects a warning.

She would warn the righteous sects in the world not to be blinded by power and force and do inhumane things.

Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang said at the same time, “It’s really that simple!”

“Your Majesty, we’re not lying. Otherwise, we’re willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty!”

They felt that as long as they made up their minds not to reveal it, Donghuang Ziyou wouldn’t be able to reveal their true colors.

Donghuang Ziyou continued to ask,

“I think this girl has the rare Nine Yin Mystic Body and is a genius in martial arts. I believe you guys can see this too.”

“Since you’ve decided to adopt her, you definitely won’t waste her talent, right?”

Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang felt that since they were at the Emperor Realm, it would be too obvious of a lie to say that they didn’t know that Xia Xinyue had the Nine Yin Mystic Body.

He could only nod and say, “Yes, Your Majesty. This child is quite talented. How can we bear to waste her talent?”

Donghuang Ziyou asked, “But according to my knowledge, you’re all sects that cultivate pure Yang cultivation techniques. How can you teach her extreme Yin cultivation techniques?”

Donghuang Ziyou knew from the beginning that Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang were lying, and the Nine Yin Mystic Body could only be cultivated to the extreme yin cultivation technique.

Therefore, she wanted to use this as a breakthrough to expose their lies.

Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang revealed a hint of panic in their eyes.

“The empress is indeed discerning. She’s really hard to fool!”

Xu Yulong gritted his teeth and said, “Your Majesty, my plan is to bring her back to help me find the relevant cultivation technique.”

Xiao Muyang hurriedly echoed, “That’s my plan too!”

Donghuang Ziyou frowned slightly. She didn’t expect these two to be so stubborn at this point.

Furthermore, these two were clearly very sly. Their excuses were flawless, and it was very difficult to get them to confess.

She took a deep breath.

Donghuang Ziyou felt that she would probably have to spend more effort to deal with these two.

Seeing Donghuang Ziyou remain silent, Lin Xuan said to Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang,

“As long as you can answer a question of mine, it will prove that you really want to adopt this girl. Otherwise, you’re lying!”

Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang were shocked.

They had a strong premonition that Lin Xuan’s words would cause them great pressure.

Donghuang Ziyou raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Lin Xuan’s handsome face.

She was a little curious about how Lin Xuan would expose Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang’s lies.

Everyone’s gazes were focused on Lin Xuan.

They all wanted to know what problem Lin Xuan would raise.

Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang were already in a dilemma. They could only bite the bullet and say, “Please ask, Consort.”

Facing everyone’s gazes, Lin Xuan said calmly,

“You guys clearly know that you’re not suitable to adopt this girl, but you guys won’t let anyone else adopt her. Instead, you guys fought over her. This is clearly againstn logic and you guys seem to be fighting for some sort of personal benefit.”

“So the question is very simple. What is your real motive?”

“This…”

Lin Xuan’s words instantly rendered Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang speechless.

Their biggest problem was that they were too anxious to succeed and wanted to bring Xia Xinyue back to be refined as a furnace.

They had neglected the fact that they were not suitable to adopt Xia Xinyue at all.

The most critical thing was that they actually fought over Xia Xinyue.

Even a fool wouldn’t believe that there was nothing fishy about this!

So Lin Xuan asking them to explain their motives made them dare not to answer at all!

Seeing their flickering expressions, Lin Xuan smiled slightly. “You don’t even dare to say your motive. It seems like you really have a guilty conscience.”

Hearing this, even Donghuang Ziyou couldn’t help but smile.

She looked at Lin Xuan in admiration.

This guy instantly found Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang’s greatest flaw. He was really impressive!

It seemed that if there was a chance in the future, she had to bring him with her more often.

Donghuang Ziyou felt that Lin Xuan was quick-witted and had his own understanding of things. He was indeed a genius.

When she thought about how talented her man was, she couldn’t help but feel more assured and comforted.

Looking at the mighty look in Lin Xuan’s eyes, Xu Yulong and Xiao Muyang couldn’t help but lower their heads while feeling immense pressure.

They felt that Lin Xuan’s gaze was like the gaze of a god that looked straight into the depths of their hearts, making them unable to resist at all.

After some thought, the two of them felt that it was better not to be stubborn anymore to avoid being forcefully exposed by Lin Xuan and having an even worse outcome.

So the two of them trembled and lowered their heads to the ground.

“We fought for this girl because we were blinded by martial force and wanted to use her as a furnace!”

“The two of us have committed the crime of deceit. Please punish us, Your Majesty and the Consort!”
