Niu Zhenjie's words silenced everyone present. Indeed, Xia Liu lacked any cultivation, so what gave him the right to lecture a Martial Artist? Those who could become Martial Artists were all exceptionally talented, chosen from among thousands. Only those born with talent and that then engage in diligent cultivation could venture into the Jianghu World. Any Martial Artist would find it intolerable to be lectured by an ordinary person. Of course, if they joined a disciplined organization, they would have to submit to authority. But Xia Liu was not Fang Huasheng, he had no right to lecture anyone. Seeing the situation become so tense, Pan Jiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Tsk tsk, knowing that you are Martial Artists and that your cultivation is weak, yet still so arrogant; you guys are truly pathetic," The guard could not help but smirk upon seeing the atmosphere. This competition had not even started yet, and in terms of momentum, Spearhead was already losing. "Alright, you powerful Martial Artists, if I move out and sleep elsewhere, will it satisfy you? I hope you all rest well, as tomorrow holds an important competition," Unexpectedly, Xia Liu showed no anger but responded with a smile instead. This only deepened the contempt in the hearts of Niu Zhenjie and his many teammates. If Xia Liu were a Martial Artist, he would never have accepted this quietly, so they were in the right! "Hurry up, I'm annoyed just looking at you." "Exactly, I really don't know what you're doing here." "Get lost! You're not welcome here!" ... Amidst the chaotic noise, Xia Liu and the guard left the communal dormitory. "Haha, Spearhead is really making a joke this year, even their own teammates are abandoning them." "When have they not been oddballs? Forget it, brother, you can sleep over in that dormitory tonight, it's pretty much the same." "Hehe, Ouyang Lingtian hasn't come back yet, right? I'll make do with his room for one night," Xia Liu said with a smile. Pfft... The two guards nearly spat blood. Ouyang Lingtian, to make do for one night! That was the High-Level area where the Heaven Slaying Commandos stayed. Even they had to look up to that place, and yet this fellow was thinking of staying in Ouyang Lingtian's room, terrifying to the extreme! "Brother, you'd better go to the dormitory over there," the guard said, not knowing how to respond to Xia Liu and pointing to a dilapidated dormitory next door. "You have Lingtian's contact, right? Help me call him and tell him Xia Liu is looking for him." This... Though reluctant, seeing Xia Liu's sincere expression, the guard decided to make the call. After all, it was about time for Ouyang Lingtian to return to the squad. Once the call connected, the guard exchanged pleasantries with Ouyang Lingtian. After chatting for a minute, the guard finally conveyed Xia Liu's request: "Lingtian, there's a young man named Xia Liu who wants to stay in your room." "Uh, Spearhead Troop has arrived, huh?" "Yeah, it's time for you to come back." "Hand him the phone," seeing the guard trying to divert the conversation, Xia Liu said faintly. "Lingtian, Xia Liu wants to speak with you." "Hmm, give it to him," Ouyang Lingtian responded. Hearing Ouyang Lingtian agree readily, the guard was very puzzled. As he handed the phone to Xia Liu, he switched on the speakerphone, turning up the volume to see if the two knew each other. Once he had the phone, Xia Liu said bluntly, "Hey Lingtian, how much longer are you going to hide at home? Hurry up and come over to see how I'm going to crush Heaven Slaying!" ... Upon hearing what Xia Liu said, the jaws of the two bodyguards nearly dropped; if anyone dared to speak to Ouyang Lingtian with such an attitude inside Heaven Slaying, that person would be flirting with death. What shocked the two bodyguards even more was Ouyang Lingtian's response. "I have some matters at home that you know of, with my wife being snatched away, my mom's preparing to hang me up and beat me." Swipe, swipe, swipe!!! This was the only thought in the bodyguards' minds. They knew about Ouyang Lingtian taking leave this time, to go back and get married. But what had he just said? His wife was actually snatched away by Xia Liu! And he could still talk to Xia Liu like this; this was not Lingtian's style at all. "Alright, take your time explaining, and remember to come watch me beat up your master." "Sure thing, I'm also looking forward to the moment you face off against my master." Having said that, Xia Liu hung up the call. "Brothers, Lingtian has agreed, just let me rest at his place for the time being." Seeing the two of them spellbound, Xia Liu shook his hand in front of their eyes and said. "Whoa!" The two bodyguards stared at Xia Liu with their eyes wide open. They were utterly dumbfounded. Not to mention Ouyang Lingtian's attitude toward him, this guy even said he'd beat up Lingtian's master! That was the strongest person in Heaven Slaying, the Head Instructor, at the Earth-Rank Primary Level of cultivation! "Brother, what's your relationship with Lingtian?" After coming back to their senses, the two bodyguards immediately escorted Xia Liu to Ouyang Lingtian's residence, their curiosity getting the better of them. "Good friends." "Huh, you even said you were going to beat up Lingtian's master, is that true?" "Of course, that was just a joke." ... Initially thinking they could learn some huge news from Xia Liu, the two bodyguards could only leave with frowns on their faces. But the shock in their hearts had not subsided. They all knew about Ouyang Lingtian's temper, colder and more aloof than a high and mighty goddess. Yet, he could chat with Xia Liu to such an extent, which clearly showed the unusual relationship between them. Not daring to delay Xia Liu, the two bodyguards immediately took him to the house where Ouyang Lingtian lived. Looking at the well-equipped room, Xia Liu nodded in satisfaction. At supper time, the two bodyguards, acting as guides, took the members of Spearhead Troop staying in the barracks to the cafeteria for dinner. Niu Zhenjie looked around and, not seeing Xia Liu's figure, burst into laughter: "Hehe, looks like that kid Xia Liu is too ashamed to show up for dinner." "That's for sure, it's his own fault for being so arrogant." "Exactly, just an ordinary person. If I were him, I'd cover my face and head straight back home." "Alright, you guys, it's not ethical to speak ill of someone behind their back." Pan Jiang couldn't listen anymore; Xia Liu's actions and words hadn't been wrong. The mistake was that he lacked cultivation. Even so, taking pleasure in one's success should be enough. "Brothers, did Xia Liu have dinner? Where is he staying tonight?" After pondering for a while, Pan Jiang asked the bodyguards. "Haha! Brother Jiang, I advise you not to worry about him; I bet tonight he'll be sleeping on the grass," Niu Zhenjie said, taking delight in teasing Xia Liu. The other members of Spearhead felt much the same; Xia Liu daring to look down upon martial artists, having no place to sleep was already his good fortune. "You don't have to worry about him; he's staying in the Heaven Slaying Commando District. There will be someone specially assigned to deliver his meals." Recalling Xia Liu's conversation with Ouyang Lingtian, the two bodyguards were still a bit shaken. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire They wanted to laugh; someone who could converse cheerfully with Ouyang Lingtian, and yet these silly fellows of Spearhead treated him in such a way, they were simply ignorant.
