Chapter 749 - 733: Challenge_2
She looked at Ling Xiao and smiled, "After all, our Feiyun Pavilion is new to the Capital City. Ling Xiao, why did you challenge five forces in one go? Seems a bit arrogant!"
Ling Xiao clasped his hands and said, "Forgive me, Pavilion Master. I took a shortcut. After challenging the seventeenth and seventy-sixth ranked families, I directly challenged Blood Tiger Hall ranked tenth. These fellows weren’t too pleased, so all of them came. I thought, why not settle this at once and everyone’s happy!"
Happy, my foot!
Duan Sizhan and the others cursed inwardly!
"At once?" Saying such big words, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue!
They were even more annoyed thinking that the Pavilion Master of Feiyun Pavilion was some sage, only to find out she was just a yellow-haired girl.
It was like they were pumped up to compete with someone on equal footing, only to realize the opponent was just a child playing house!
If they had known in advance that the Pavilion Master of Feiyun Pavilion was just a yellow-haired girl, they would have simply refused the challenge invitation. Competing with such a little girl was beneath their dignity!
Even if they refused the challenge post, they could’ve said it was beneath them to mess around with children, it wouldn’t count as fearing to accept the challenge, nor would it be a disgrace!
But before, it was Ling Xiao who stepped up, leading a group of Feiyun Pavilion disciples, all the way challenging and beating, turning Feiyun Pavilion from a newly emerged small force into a medium one, now aiming to climb higher.
In this Jianghu of the Capital City, who isn’t talking about this Feiyun Pavilion? Who isn’t guessing which eminent figure the Pavilion Master of Feiyun Pavilion is? After all, although Ling Xiao is not very old, he did say he was merely a Hall Master.
But now the challenge post has been accepted, and the platform duel has begun. There’s no stopping it.
Xia Wenjin listened to Ling Xiao’s words, didn’t care, and smiled, "I see, since that’s the case, please continue. I’m just here to watch!"
Is it really just child’s play? Such a big affair, just here to watch?
Xue Sheng squinted at the girl standing gracefully not far away, unsure whether to be angry or annoyed!
Ling Xiao said again, "Pavilion Master, please sit here!" saying this, he led her to where he had been sitting!
Xia Wenjin walked lightly but confidently toward that spot.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she seemed neither embarrassed nor uneasy, but rather exuded an aura of commanding and overlooking everything, a sort of grandeur one can only possess in high positions, a composure inherent in her, making people almost forget her age!
Such an aura, such poise, led Xue Sheng and the other four leaders to exchange a glance.
They certainly wouldn’t believe a young girl could truly make a master like Ling Xiao submit, or have people willingly rally around her.
So, perhaps she has an unusual background?
For instance, a descendant from one of Jianghu’s noble families?
For instance, a disciple from a Hidden Sect coming out for experience?
Or perhaps there is a senior from her family or a master overseeing everything to satisfy her vanity? Or maybe paving the way for her reputation?
While Xue Sheng and the others were still undecided on how to face Xia Wenjin, she had already approached, raised her hand to clasp her fists, executing a Jianghu salutation, and generously said, "Master Xue, Xia Wenjin, Pavilion Master of Feiyun Pavilion, greets you!"
Since it’s the other party’s place, she must be courteous to the host.
Xue Sheng recollected himself, although the other party was younger than his daughter, still, she was a Pavilion Master, and now walking the Jianghu with courtesy, he couldn’t show disrespect moreover, what if she had an extraordinary background...
He too stood up and returned the salute, saying, "You’re too kind!"
After speaking, he felt somewhat annoyed; he was the Manager of Blood Tiger Hall, known as Hall Master. But Feiyun Pavilion had another Azure Dragon Hall beneath it, and its person in charge was also called Hall Master, clearly lower in rank, yet sounding almost equal!
Xia Wenjin smiled slightly, then took a seat in the place where Ling Xiao had been sitting.
Gu Heng stood behind Xia Wenjin!
Duan Sizhan and the other four faces went green and red by turns, infuriating! This impudent girl truly doesn’t care about anyone, greeting only Master Xue, ignoring all others!
Xue Sheng felt some words should still be asked, though Xia Wenjin had seated herself stably and rather comfortably; he still inquired, "May I know who Lady Xia’s master is? Dare I ask your esteemed father’s name is..."
Xia Wenjin sat there, looking at the standing Xue Sheng, despite slightly tilting her head, showing no inferiority from being looked down upon, instead appearing as if she were looking down on others. She easily, almost smilingly said, "Master Xue, rest assured, everything about Feiyun Pavilion is under my command, unrelated to my master or family!"
