Chapter 864: Just a Master-Eating Dog (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Faced with the mockery and skepticism of the disciples, Xu Sheng chose to ignore them...

He tirelessly picked up one martial technique after another, swiftly flipping through them before his eyes...

The stockpile of martial techniques in his mind was exploding, reaching more than a dozen in just a moment...

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Sheng had already thoroughly observed most of the martial arts techniques within the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion...

But almost all were Yellow-Rank Martial Arts Techniques, and there was only one Profound-rank Martial Technique he could cultivate!

Noticing the other disciples were still staring at him, he asked with a light smile, "My friends, why are you staring at me so intently, is there something wrong?"

Upon his remark, several disciples quickly shook their heads as if coming to their senses, hastily picked the three martial techniques they needed, and turned around...

They couldn't help but murmur under their breath, "This guy must be crazy! He's totally here to cause trouble!"

"Right! He's just flipping through the martial techniques quickly, is he really here to choose martial techniques, or is he just playing?"

"It's so confusing, does this guy really think he can learn all the martial techniques in such a short time?"

"That's impossible, even the geniuses from Central State couldn't do it! What a freak! Let's go, let's go!"

Under this muttering and cursing, they finally left the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion...

Xu Sheng's expression on his cheeks remained unchanged...

These disciples were merely ignorant!

So there was nothing worth getting angry about...

Just then, Bai Gongyu came out with light steps, holding three martial techniques in her hand...

Curious, she asked Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, have you made your choice?"

She wanted to see which martial technique Xu Sheng would choose...

After all, this was the only chance he had to choose...

Hearing Bai Gongyu's question, Xu Sheng calmly picked up a Yellow-Rank Martial Arts Technique, and said with a smile, "Yes, I have made my choice, this one will do..."

Yellow Grade Intermediate Martial Skill, Zhiyang Sword Technique!

Bai Gongyu nodded in approval and said, "Good! At least after cultivating it, you will have a certain ability to defend yourself!"

Xu Sheng was definitely not going to stay at the Bai Gong Mansion for long; even if she was willing, it's unlikely that the entire Bai Gong Clan would agree...

Then, changing her tone and batting her beautiful eyes, she said, "Well then, let's leave quickly, it should be about time..."

...

When Xu Sheng and Bai Gongyu stepped out of the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion together, they once again attracted the gaze of most of the disciples...

One of the disciples said with an unsightly face, "That kid! Who knows what he was doing with Feather Junior Sister inside! Even choosing martial techniques, they come out together!"

Another disciple exclaimed upon hearing this, "Oh my, now that you mention it, I realize something's not quite right! They couldn't have done something inside the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion, could they?"

"Oh no, my goddess can't possibly be such an easy-going person!"

"Will you shut up! How could Feather Junior Sister be such a casual woman! Even Shallow Night Senior Brother was rejected when he tried to pursue her!"

"That seems right, how could Feather Junior Sister possibly fancy a guy who's only at the Seventh Layer of Hollow Void! And he's even leeching off our Bai Gong Clan's martial techniques!"

Hearing these words, the disciples who had just become excited calmed down again...

In their eyes, Bai Gongyu would never take notice of Xu Sheng!

For the gulf between the two was as vast as the heavens!

Hearing these words, Bai Gongyu's delicate cheeks flushed with a hint of red as she hastily said to Xu Sheng beside her, "Xu Sheng, don't bother with them! These guys just love to spout unrealistic nonsense."

She and Xu Sheng weren't a couple; what could possibly happen between them within the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion?

It couldn't possibly be something to do with the affairs of men and women...

Xu Sheng said with a teasing tone, "What's the matter? Feather Junior Sister, are you angry at the thought of becoming my partner?"

Bai Gongyu quickly waved her hands, "No... it's not that, Xu Sheng, don't get me wrong... I..."

Wait, why am I explaining myself?

It was hardly likely for her and Xu Sheng, for one thing, due to status—after all, she was the Bai Gong Family Clan Leader's daughter...

And Xu Sheng had only come from the Lower Realm, with no power to speak of in this Cultivation World...

Secondly, having a man with a lower cultivation level than herself as a partner provided no sense of security whatsoever!

Although she knew this well, Bai Gongyu didn't voice it out, fearing that she might hurt Xu Sheng's pride...

After all, aside from these issues, Xu Sheng was still a man truly worth entrusting her life to!

Meanwhile, the leading Elder watching Xu Sheng holding the martial technique in his hands, a flicker of surprise shone in his deep eyes, "Oh? The Zhiyang Sword Technique, huh? Not a bad choice!"

Upon hearing this, the other Elders began to speak, "Just giving this guy one martial technique; isn't that a bit too dismissive? After all, he was personally invited by Feather (nickname for Bai Gongyu)..."

"What are you talking about! Just allowing this guy the chance to touch a Martial Technique is already the epitome of generosity from our Bai Gong Clan!"

"Exactly! With this guy's talent, giving him more Martial Technique would be a waste. If he gets killed, wouldn't our Bai Gong Clan's techniques be exposed?"

Only the female Elder blinked her beautiful eyes and said in a leisurely tone, "Discussing all this is pointless. This guy will probably leave in a few days anyway, let's focus on directing our disciples into the Bai Gong Jade Pavilion."

This man might just be a bit out of the ordinary…

…

The Mo Family! Within the grand hall...

In front of Mo Buhui and the Mo Family Elders sat several somewhat elderly men!

They were none other than the Bai Gong Clan's Grand Elder, Bai Gong Mu, the third elder, Bai Gong Huiye! And the reason for coming to their sworn enemy, the Mo Family, naturally had to do with their plan!

Bai Gong Mu said in a dark tone, "Just with our power, we are unable to shake the Bai Gong Clan! Thus, we need the help of your Mo Family."

"In a few days, it will be the grand competition of the Bai Gong Clan, the perfect time when their defenses are most relaxed!"

Mo Buhui narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? You're telling me such important information about the Mo Family, truly not afraid of dooming your Bai Gong Clan?"

Did they really think the Mo Family was a small sheep to be manipulated at will?

A mocking cold smile crept onto Bai Gong Huiye's face as he said, "Doom? You make it sound so easy. Does the Mo Family have that kind of strength? If it weren't for wanting to seize control of the Bai Gong Clan, why would we be willing to cooperate with you!"

This statement immediately enraged the other Mo Family Elders, who retorted without holding back, "Humph! If you're asking for help, you should at least have the attitude of asking for help!"

"Really think you two are somebodies? If it weren't for Bai Gong Li, you'd be nothing!!"

"Nothing more than lowly Devouring Masters, struggling pathetically along; do you really believe you have the right to dictate terms to our Mo Family?"
