Chapter 828 Is this thing broken?
As Ye Nanxiao anticipated, the brightness of the light spot gradually dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like your screen brightness gradually being turned down to the lowest level.
"Huh? What is this?" Meng Hongchen looked at Ye Nanxiao in confusion.
Ye Nanxiao sighed slightly, thinking that perhaps he was overthinking things. There were quite a few genius girls in Mingdu, but it wasn't easy to find a successor.
"It's nothing. It was just a test to see if you were qualified. It seems you're not. I apologize, though it might be hurtful to say that." Ye Nanxiao bowed in apology.
Was I overthinking it after all?
If Meng Hongchen is considered quite talented, then how many geniuses would it take to be considered qualified?
Ye Nanxiao was lost in thought when he heard Meng Hongchen's voice in his ear.
"No need to apologize. Although I don't know what you're talking about, that flower on your chest is flashing, is it a bomb?"
Ok?
The flower on my chest?
Frozen Flower!
"You can see flowers?!" Ye Nanxiao suddenly looked up.
"It's hanging on your chest? And it's flashing. Anyone with normal eyesight can see it, right?" Meng Hongchen said, pursing her lips.
Why did Ye Nanxiao react so strongly?
Does that mean this flower is special?
Jiang Nannan looked at Ye Nanxiao with a puzzled expression, her gaze fixed on his chest. Her eyes narrowed, and the nine-tailed fox pattern on his forehead became slightly visible. Now, she could vaguely see the ice flower on Ye Nanxiao's chest.
Ye Nanxiao paused for a moment, then said, "This is what it means to be qualified. Some things can't be said outright; you just need to know them."
Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao with displeasure. He only said half of what he meant, wasn't that just the behavior of a riddle teller?
It needs to be hung on the streetlight!
"Xue'er, the light of the Frozen Flower didn't go out in Meng Hongchen's hands, it just dimmed. Does this mean that Meng Hongchen has some qualifications?"
Ye Nanxiao asked, while Xue Di had actually been paying attention to the situation outside all along.
"Your guess might be correct. If there really is no qualification for inheritance, the Frozen Flower test would probably end instantly. The current situation is more like a slow confirmation of qualifications, but things are developing in a bad direction. Xiao'er, you have to think of a way to keep Meng Hongchen's qualification." Xue Di said after thinking for a moment.
Ye Nanxiao understood. Since the light of the Frozen Flower did not extinguish immediately, it meant there was still some chance.
But how do you find this opportunity?
"Could it be that Meng Hongchen's own bloodline is not yet manifesting?" Ye Nanxiao suddenly thought that Zhu Qingbingchan was known as the king of the crevices of the far north, a recognized king.
"This little girl might need to evolve her bloodline. After all, the Crimson Toad King is one of the kings of the far north," the Snow Emperor agreed.
A king born with both ice and fire as his source, is he qualified?
Ye Nanxiao guessed that if the God Realm Committee hadn't tightly closed the path for soul beasts to advance, they would really have had a chance.
"Then you can take this back." Meng Hongchen handed the dim light in her hand to Ye Nanxiao. Although she had a longing in her heart, since she was not qualified, it would be a waste to hold it.
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand to retrieve the light spot, and as expected, the frozen flower responded for a moment, indicating that Meng Hongchen was not entirely unqualified to receive the inheritance.
"Once you improve your bloodline, the qualifications might come to you on their own," Ye Nanxiao said meaningfully.
"Ugh! You still won't tell me what this thing is! Don't keep me in suspense!" Meng Hongchen clenched her little fists, taunting Ye Nanxiao.
If you don't tell the truth, I'll beat you up!
Ye Nanxiao sneered, took a few steps back, and then shrank behind Jiang Nannan.
I have powerful backers, why would I be afraid of a little brat like you?
Jiang Nannan looked helplessly at the two bickering. How could a serious situation one second turn into a children's quarrel the next?
It's one thing for Ye Huli to be a big kid, but how did Meng Hongchen get assimilated too?
Or are they both essentially big kids?
Jiang Nannan smiled helplessly, pressing one of the little heads down with one hand. "You two, sit still!"
"Eh..." *2
After confirming the medicinal bath recipe one last time, Ye Nanxiao told Meng Hongchen some key points about the medicinal bath for body tempering, and then told her to prepare it herself.
"Eh? I'll do it myself? As the saying goes, if you're going to help someone, help them to the end!" Meng Hongchen blinked. There are many intricacies to a Soul Master's medicinal bath body tempering, even more than a Soul Guidance Device Diagram.
"That's what I said. Settle the copyright fee. Also, if you don't understand, go read the book yourself!" Ye Nanxiao tossed a book on the essentials of Soul Master cultivation from his storage ring to Meng Hongchen.
"Tsk." Meng Hongchen took the key points of Soul Master cultivation knowledge and looked at Jiang Nannan with hopeful eyes.
Jiang Nannan couldn't resist those big, watery, adorable eyes. She turned her head away and muttered, "I have a competition, I have a competition!"
Meng Hongchen still held the book and started reading it by herself.
On the other side, Xiao Ye No. 1 successfully infiltrated Xu Zhong's mansion guard team.
They were patrolling the vast mansion in coordination with the guards.
Xu Zhong probably never imagined that Xiao Nanye, whom he had so ostentatiously sent out to capture, would not only not be afraid, but would even infiltrate his mansion and blend into the guard team right under his nose.
"Still no news about Xiao Nanye?" Xu Zhong asked with a gloomy expression.
A guard in armor knelt on one knee, head bowed low. "Master, that Xiao Nanye is too cunning! He has escaped our encirclements multiple times!"
"A bunch of useless trash! I spend so much money supporting you every year! And you can't even catch a single one of you!" Xu Zhong angrily smashed his teacup on the ground.
The guard immediately knelt on the ground, pressed his head against the blanket, and dared not utter a sound.
They have spent a lot of manpower and resources to lay a tight net in the places where the intelligence appeared, but Xiao Nanye has outmaneuvered them every time.
Xiao Nanye's strength was beyond their expectations.
Not only could he move freely in and out of the well-prepared traps, but the skilled members of the guard team could not even touch Xiao Nanye.
Even he, the captain of the guard team with an eighth-ring cultivation level, couldn't catch Xiao Nanye when facing him.
Like a slippery loach, it's not as strong as itself, but it keeps making itself miserable.
"Damn it, the captain got yelled at again. He'll be yelling at us when he gets back!" a member of the guard muttered.
Xu Zhong's roar could be heard from a great distance, and all the people standing in the front yard could hear it.
With such a loud voice, the captain must have gotten a lot of flak.
The guards immediately panicked. Their captain had been wronged, and he would definitely take it out on them in the end.
Getting beaten up is the least of my worries; I'm more afraid of having my monthly salary and resources deducted.
The latest novel is first published here!
Many of them had already hit a bottleneck in their cultivation, just one step away from success.
Xiao Ye No. 1 crouched among the crowd, listening to their worries, and chuckled, saying, "The captain got scolded. Let's cheer him up; maybe that will save us from trouble!"
"Hmm? Brother, what do you mean by that?" Several guards immediately looked at Xiao Ye No. 1.
They weren't very familiar with Xiao Ye No. 1, only knowing that the latter had gotten in through connections. He had heard that the roads Xu Zhong worked on were good, so he tried every means to sneak in, and his cultivation level was just average.
Upon hearing Xiao Ye No. 1 say he had a solution, a group of guards who usually ignored him all gathered around.
"Brother, I remember your surname is Bei, right?" a tall man asked.
Xiao Ye No. 1 cupped his hands in greeting. "I am Belial. Because of my bad luck, I am known as Old Black Belial. My combat ability is not outstanding. I just use my little tricks."
The guards bowed respectfully to Xiao Ye No. 1. Before today, they didn't even know Xiao Ye No. 1's name. The tall man was able to call out his name because he was the vice-captain, the one who called out his name.
"Young brother, my name is Xiao Yao. Tell me quickly, what can we do to resolve our current situation?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously.
Although he was one of the vice-captains, he had virtually no power, and the head of the guards would not let him off the hook just because he was a vice-captain.
"Please don't worry, everyone. The captain is at least an eighth-ring expert. Master won't punish him. After all, the captain is still leading the team to capture Xiao Nanye. Master won't let the captain go to the water dungeon until he hears the news that Xiao Nanye has left Mingdu."
"Since the captain got upset, brothers, let's split into two teams. One team will volunteer to work overtime tonight and lead the men in a more intensive search. The other team will take the captain to the Qingse Hotel for a foot massage and a drink to relax, apologize, and say some nice things!"
"Given Master's power in Mingdu, Xiao Nanye is destined to be forced to flee to various corners of the city. Given enough time, how long can he remain at large without supplies?"
After listening to Xiao Ye No. 1's analysis, the guards nodded in agreement.
Why didn't they think of that?
The massages at the Qingse Hotel are absolutely amazing; no man could resist them.
Xiao Yao patted Xiao Ye No. 1 on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Old Bei! Your suggestion is very good, but look, we only have so many people, how can we split into two teams?"
Seemingly worried that he hadn't made himself clear enough, Xiao Yao added, "I'm the vice-captain; it's my duty to comfort the captain and ease his worries!"
As soon as Xiao Yao finished speaking, the other guards quickly explained their relationships with their captain.
"My younger sister is the captain's fifth concubine! So, I'm technically the captain's brother-in-law! Therefore, I have to stay with the captain!"
"I'm a distant cousin of the captain's aunt's second uncle's third son! Shouldn't the captain have me, his relative, to comfort him when he's troubled?"
"Me too! I washed the captain's feet!"
Xiao Ye No. 1 smiled as he looked at the group of guards. He had already investigated the relationships between these people and found that they were all connected.
Xiao Yi's expression was rather unpleasant. He hadn't expected these bastards to be so ungrateful, with not one of them willing to take the initiative to continue the pursuit of Xiao Nanye.
But these people were almost all connected to him, so he couldn't make a decision.
"Old Black! Why don't you tell us who's suitable to go?" Xiao Yao decided to let Xiao Ye No. 1 take the blame.
"That's simple, playing dice, huh? Never had a drink before?"
