Xiao Shuxiang only understood a little of Mo Huai's words, but that was not the case. He protested with something else.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "Mo Huai is a citizen of the Eastern Continent, this one thing alone is enough to astonish me. How could he just get an invitation? Nay, he is not a native of the Middle Continent."


Xiao Shuxiang was still unwilling to accept it, "Is there possible to be a mistake?"


"♬♩ Mistake is impossible to do, by a swordsman from nature top yo! I, too, have asked. And there really isn't any mistake yeah! ♬♪"


That characteristic Siu Yixin voice could indeed always make the atmosphere around Xiao Shuxiang more interesting than usual. Although he had lived in the Middle Continent for a long time and met many people, in fact Siu Yixin's speech style had never changed.


"If there is no mistake... Why didn't I accept the invitation?" Xiao Shuxiang crossed his arms. He made Nie Shang, Mo Huai and Siu Yixin flinch.


Nie Shang, "Brother Xiao. I just didn't get an invitation, so you shouldn't be surprised if you don't get one, either,"


Siu Yixin, "♬♩ Rather than talk about this, I'm much more interested in your practice of declining it yo! ♪♩"


?!


Nie Shang and Mo Huai gasped when they heard Siu Yixin say. Both of them set their sights right where the festive-looking man's eyes were fixed. They blinked as they stared at Xiao Shuxiang.


Nie Shang, "Brother Xiao... So the news of your power being sealed is true?"


Mo Huai could see the look on Nie Shang's face that looked incredulous, he himself was also shocked by it. 


Xiao Shuxiang's practice of being at the 5th level of the Forging Qi, naturally only warriors who had the same practice and were even higher than him could read Xiao Shuxiang's practice. Nie Shang and Mo Huai obviously could not, which was why they were shocked when they heard Siu Yuxin say.


Mo Huai's face was the worst. He had actually heard a lot of news regarding Xiao Shuxiang whose strength was sealed, but it was unexpected that it actually happened. Even the practices of the Alchemist Chef could be down to the 5th level of Forging Qi.


Mo Huai, "Young Master Xiao. Why would you do that? Were you threatened?"


"Who could threaten me? The sealing was indeed me who agreed to it," Xiao Shuxiang let out a slow breath, "Let's not talk about it anymore. I don't want to feel sorry for it,"


Nie Shang was just about to speak, but suddenly a servant came in a hasty step, his countenance looking a bit pale.


"Young Master Nie...!" The female servant approached Nie Shang and voiced out in a trembling tone. "Outside... There are some people who want to see you. Th-they look... Get angry..."


?!


Nie Shang gasped and immediately got up from his seat. His own friends, including Xiao Shuxiang looked astonished. Especially when Nie Shang who suddenly went out just like that.


Hu Li, "What's up...? What's going on?"


Xiao Shuxiang did not answer Hu Li, he instead got up from his seat and caught up with Nie Shang coming out. He was curious about this sudden occurrence, even Siu Yixin was.


Mo Huai and Hu Li then followed Siu Yixin. The two were shocked when they arrived outside the tent and saw there were about 10 men of various ages some of whom had even drawn their swords.


"What is this?!" Nie Shang exclaimed. Somehow but it felt like his tent was being surrounded.


"That's it!" one of the men exclaimed, he did not answer Nie Shang's question at all. It was precisely with his sword-he pointed towards Xiao Shuxiang.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, his forehead shrinking as he said harshly. "When have I been undercover? There is nothing among humans like you that scares me to go undercover."


"A snob!" one of the men sneered, "You said no disguise? Then how do you explain your change in appearance? No matter what it looks like, but today the opportunity came and I'm here for your head!"


Someone echoed, "Yes! We're coming for your head!"


And next there are more people! The mood suddenly changed drastically. They seemed to have long harbored a very intense anger towards Xiao Shuxiang.


Nie Shang exclaimed, "What has my Brother Xiao done that you guys are acting this rude?!"


Hu Li even clenched his hands together and seemed to want to directly hit this group of people who had dared to be disrespectful to his Young Master.


Siu Yixin herself was still curious about what Xiao Shuxiang had done until she became the target of the cultivators' anger. While Mo Huai looked pale-faced and felt unable to take out a single word.


Nie Shang tried to defend Xiao Shuxiang, but just as he was about to shout back--a hand swung and seemed to block him. He was shocked and looked to the side.


Nie Shang looked at Xiao Shuxiang. The back of the young man's hand touched his chest, even though the Alchemist Chef continued to look forward.


Xiao Shuxiang's face was expressionless right now, but his eyes looked like he was hiding something terrible. "Nie Shang, you don't ask me what I've been doing all this time. I do have a bad memory of the person I've been in dispute with, but I won't forget how many times this hand went inside someone else's body and pulled out his heart."


Xiao Shuxiang circulated a glance, these people could no longer be persuaded to calm down and himself was not an admonishing figure. "Hmph, that's amazing. These people are shameless. After hearing and proving myself my practice came down because of the seal, they quickly came here to seek revenge. Good, very good...! It seemed like this Xiao Shuxiang would indeed not be able to be a good person."


"Gentlemen...! Let's talk about this carefully," Hu Li regained his composure, "Conducting this kind of violent action is not the right thing. I understand Young Master Xiao made a mistake, but your presence in this place is on the basis of the invitation of the Upper Cultivation Realm. Shouldn't there be any respect shown?"


"Hu Li, don't talk anymore." Xiao Shuxiang held onto his comrade's shoulder, "They won't listen to you. And you! I don't want any more classic talk. Go ahead, who will die first."


"XIAO SHUXIANG'S...!"


!!


Nie Shang was shocked. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open. Siu Yixin who was also startled spontaneously pulled the back collar of Mo Huai and Nie Shang to avoid the lunge of the swordsmen who were directly targeting Xiao Shuxiang.


Hu Li was similarly shocked. He saw his Young Master retreating backwards and instead entered into Nie Shang's tent followed by about five cultivators and only took three breaths until a loud sound from the loud impact was heard two guns.


Ahhh...!


The female servants belonging to Nie Shang ran in fear. They tried to save themselves. On the other hand, the five warriors who were outside actually attacked Hu Li and the three of them nearly injured Mo Huai and Nie Shang if Siu Yixin was not protected.


"Young Master Nie, you stay away from here...!" Hu Li exclaimed while fending off the attacks of the two cultivators.


The bodyguards of Nie Shang chose to protect their Master and also Mo Huai compared to entering into the battle grooves of those cultivators. They certainly do not want to lose their lives.
