Chapter 36
The Soaring Dragon Pavilion was located at the back of the Sha Clan’s left courtyard. It was a unique three-story building. Furthermore, it even had an independent courtyard.
When Xiao Chen saw the independent courtyard, he nodded in satisfaction. He practiced his sword every morning and night, rain or shine. With this courtyard, it was much more convenient.
“Young Master, how about you stay here in peace?
There will be maidservants and guards taking care of your daily necessities. After I report to the Third Elder, I will arrange for a few guards to protect you and serve you. If there is anything else you need, just let me know. Is that alright? ”
Killing Ruinous Killer immediately spoke respectfully after bringing Xiao Chen to the Soaring Dragon Pavilion. He could not wait to go to the Third Elder to collect the appointment document and command token for the captain of the guards. Those things were only real when they were in his hands.
However, he had obtained his current position because of Xiao Chen. Naturally, he was very respectful and courteous to Xiao Chen. He did not dare to be impudent. Otherwise, a single word from Xiao Chen would cause the fat meat by his mouth to fly away.
Xiao Chen had a good impression of Kill Ripper. Kill Ripper had saved him at the Yue Clan, so no matter what his motive was, he had saved him. Xiao Chen was a stubborn man. If there was kindness, he would repay it, and if there was enmity, he would repay it tenfold.
Xiao Chen cupped his hands to Killing Ruinous Killer and said, “Senior Killing, there is no need for guards and maidservants. I am not used to them. Just make arrangements for my food and lodging. If you have something to do, just go and do it. There is no need to worry about me.”
“Alright, very well. Young Master, I will report to the Third Elder and come over immediately!”
Killing Ruinous Killer already understood Xiao Chen’s character very well. He did not force Xiao Chen. He spoke straightforwardly and respectfully withdrew from the courtyard, rushing to the backyard of the Sha Clan.
Xiao Chen watched Killing Ruinous Killer leave before withdrawing his gaze. Then, he looked at a flower bed in the corner of the courtyard. He said indifferently, “Da Huang, stop hiding. Come out.”
“Xiu!”
A yellow figure leaped out and landed firmly about a meter in front of Xiao Chen. The yellow dog raised its head and glanced indifferently at Xiao Chen. Then, it walked into the building lazily.
Xiao Chen looked at the yellow dog that was even colder than him and shook his head helplessly. He could not do anything to the yellow dog. He could only follow Da Huang into the building.
The yellow dog seemed to be a The Lion King type of desolate beast. As for its true strength, Xiao Chen did not know. Xiao Chen only knew that Da Huang had been defeated by his grandfather, Xiao Batian.
Xiao Batian made an agreement with it. When Xiao Batian was not by Xiao Chen’s side, Da Huang would be responsible for protecting Xiao Chen’s safety. The time limit was five years. After five years, if the yellow dog did not wish to continue staying by Xiao Chen’s side, it could leave. Xiao Batian would not stop it.
This was also when Xiao Chen was battling the Yue Clan. When Xiao Chen was seriously injured and his life was in danger, the yellow dog transformed to save him.
Usually, the yellow dog was very cold to Xiao Chen because it had no feelings for Xiao Chen. It was just an agreement between them.
At this point, it was naturally necessary to mention the strength of Xiao Chen’s grandfather, Xiao Batian. Xiao Chen knew that Xiao Batian’s strength was at the Purple Image Realm on the surface, but Xiao Chen’s perception was extremely powerful and sharp.
The building was very clean and tidy. Xiao Chen did not have high requirements. It was fine as long as there was a place to stay. He and Da Huang went straight to the second floor.
Xiao Chen had already decided to keep a low profile. Unless the Sha Clan summoned him, he would usually stay in the building to cultivate and not take a step out.
Naturally, Xiao Chen’s plan was the wisest. Little did he know that he had injured the Sha Clan’s collateral young master in the front yard, offended the Sha Clan’s Seventh Young Master, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder, as well as treated the Sha Clan’s Patriarch coldly. Although it was unintentional, it was already very high profile. It could even be said that it was a little too high profile.
If it wasn’t for Xiao Chen’s character that matched the Sha Clan’s appetite for killing and Xiao Chen’s godly talent, would Xiao Chen still be able to stay in the Soaring Dragon Pavilion?
He would have long been dead, thrown out of the door by the Sha Clan’s guards to feed the dogs.
…
At this moment, a few of the Sha Clan’s top-notch characters had yet to leave the Sha Clan’s guest hall. A few of them were discussing something.
“Lord Father, Xiao Chen’s character is so stubborn and crude. He doesn’t know how to respect his seniors or etiquette. Furthermore, his origins are unknown. Do you really intend to let him stay in the Sha Clan?”
The Great Elder, Sha Polong, clearly did not like Xiao Chen’s character and attitude. Hence, he took the risk of being scolded by Sha Potian and spoke up.
When the Second Elder, Sha Polong, saw his Big Brother, Sha Polong, shoot him a meaningful glance, he immediately understood. He pretended to be very cautious and echoed, “Indeed, what Big Brother said makes sense. If we leave a wild horse in the Sha Clan, given his character, who knows how much trouble he will cause. I hope Father will reconsider.”
When Sha Potian heard what his two sons said, he did not reprimand them like how Xiao Chen did. He only glanced at the two of them expressionlessly. Finally, he cast a questioning gaze at the Third Elder, Sha Polong. It seemed like he was especially fond of his third son, Sha Polong. It was no wonder he appointed Sha Polong as the Battle Hall’s Elder.
Sha Potian had six sons. The first three sons were the most talented in cultivation or other outstanding abilities.
The eldest son, Sha Polong, had the highest cultivation. He was at the peak of the third level of the Purple Elephant Realm and was a God’s Bestow martial artist. He had an impulsive personality and was the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. The second son, Sha Polong, was at the second level of the Purple Elephant Realm. He wasn’t a God’s Bestow martial artist and had average strength. He was a sinister person, but he had a good mind for business. He was the Elder of Internal Affairs and managed all the businesses of the Sha Clan. The third elder was at the second level of the Purple Elephant Realm and had a God’s Bestow martial artist.
As for the other three sons, they had average strength and had yet to awaken their God’s Gift. It was unknown if they would be able to awaken their God’s Gift. They were arranged by Sha Potian to take care of other less important or unpopular affairs.
When Sha Polong saw his father looking at him again, he felt helpless in his heart. He was afraid that his performance was too good and would incur the jealousy and hatred of his Big Brother and Second Brother. However, when he saw Sha Potian’s encouraging gaze, he had no choice but to brace himself and say,
“Lord Father, Xiao Chen is a piece of unpolished jade. He might be a little prickly now, but as long as he is properly polished and nurtured, he will definitely shine brilliantly in the future!
I feel that since Xiao Chen is a descendant of the Sha Clan, he should stay in the Sha Clan and be properly nurtured. It is inevitable for a young man to have a little character, and it is understandable. ”
Sha Polong didn’t look at his two brothers’ ugly expressions and murderous eyes. He looked straight at Sha Potian and spoke leisurely with a natural smile on his face. He was unruffled and had a very elegant demeanor.
Sha Polong admired him a little.
“Father, the moment Xiao Chen entered the Sha Clan, he injured a branch descendant of the Sha Clan …” When Sha Polong heard that Sha Polong was actually disagreeing with them, he brought up the fact that Xiao Chen injured a branch descendant young master of the Sha Clan outside the door, hoping to change his father’s decision.
“There is no need to say anymore!
From today onwards, Xiao Chen will be the Young Master of the Sha Clan! ”
Sha Potian waved his hand and interrupted Sha Polong’s rambling. He said with incomparable dignity, “San Er, I will leave Xiao Chen in your care. However, don’t control him too much. It is not bad for a young man to be a little arrogant. The people of the Sha Clan are not cowards. Every one of them must be a tyrant. The young masters of the Sha Clan can duel with each other. As long as no lives are lost, let them go. Whoever wins will be the top young master of the Sha Clan, the young king of the Sha Clan!”
After Sha Potian finished his domineering speech, he swung his sleeves and left without looking back.
“Understood!
Farewell, Lord Father! “Sha Polong immediately bowed respectfully.
Sha Polong and Sha Polong looked at each other and said unhappily, “Farewell, Lord Father.”
“Farewell, Grandfather!”
Sha Buhen had been listening to the conversation between his seniors. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart. When he saw Sha Potian leaving, he pretended to be respectful.
The Third Elder, Sha Polong, cupped his hands at his two elder brothers who were glaring at him and followed Sha Potian out of the guest hall.
Sha Polong and Sha Polong looked at each other and saw the hatred in each other’s eyes. Without saying a word, they walked out of the guest hall together.
“Xiao Chen, you bastard who came out of nowhere. Do you really think you are the young master of the Sha Clan?
What a joke!
The moment you arrived, you offended my uncle and my father. I think you won’t even know how you died!
Do you really think that Grandfather will protect a fake young master of unknown origin like you?
Soon, you will know that you are nothing compared to us, the real young masters of the Sha Clan. Hehe … ”
At this moment, only the Seventh Young Master of the Sha Clan, Sha Buhen, was left in the guest hall. His eyes flashed with an ominous glint, and his pale face was filled with a sinister smile. His thin lips parted slightly as he uttered some cold and malicious words. After that, he quickly left.
