Chapter 179 Another Lackey



Another Lackey

Though Xue Bai learned how to talk eloquently from his teacher a few years ago, it was at most just polite talk that worked well in a public setting.

But when it came to talking eloquently and still being able to mix in hidden insults and threats, Xue Bai could only call himself an amateur.

So when he heard Long Tian not only indirectly call him a brutal person but also say he had to take the blame for the war, Xue Bai couldn\'t help but become tongue-tied.

\'How the hell did you reach such a conclusion from Liu Mei defending herself?\'

Long Tian could also see this and instantly had his confidence skyrocket.

\'So what if you are a Young Master of some clan in the Central Continent? You\'re still too young! A kid who is still wet behind the ears can\'t even talk back to me!\'

Becoming more confident in himself, Long Tian was about to press more onto Xue Bai, but before he could, a milky white fist connected with his chin and sent him flying for hundreds of meters, and firmly stuck him into a wall.

"I hate people like you the most! If you\'re going to talk, speak coherently and straightforwardly. What\'s the point of being so wishy-washy?" Liu Mei spat.

Silence ensued.

No one expected Liu Mei to slug Long Tian randomly and so hard too.

Looking over at her previous opponent, they saw Long Zhenyu submerged in the ground, with only his neck and up shown. However, they couldn\'t help but cringe once they looked at his face.

None of the heroism or grandeur that the Imperial Guard Leader once was famed for was there. His eyes had swelled up to the size of oranges, while his lips looked as wide as a water bottle. And if they looked even closer, they could see that the man didn\'t even have any teeth left!

Sure, regenerating a lost tooth wasn\'t very hard, especially with the vitality of a peak stage Domain Lord like Long Zhenyu or with the wealth he possessed, but still walking around with just his gums until they regenerated would certainly be embarrassing, especially for someone like Long Zhenyu, who cared about his reputation more than he did his own son.

Such an outcome was almost as bad as death to the prideful and narcissistic Long Zhenyu.

So sure, Long Tian did indeed look extremely pitiful as he tried to pull himself out of the wall that Liu Mei sent him flying into. But once they looked at the pig head version of Long Zhenyu, the crowd thought what happened to Long Tian was a blessing.

But unlike most of the crowd, Xue Bai, Feng Fei, and Eunuch Lu only had praise toward Liu Mei.

Xue Bai even went as far as to give the bird a thumbs up.

It reminded him of the core truth of the cultivation world. Whoever had a stronger fist was right and just.

Long Tian was a man who could manipulate an entire empire from behind the scene, but now he was merely a wall decoration in front of Liu Mei.

No matter how good someone was at chess, what would you do when someone flipped the board? And this saying perfectly matched this situation.

Though Long Tian could fiddle with the minds of many with his words and win fights before they even began with his linguistic skills, all of these needed for him to talk to be accomplished. So what would happen when he ran into a stronger and more simplistic Liu Mei?

A one-sided beatdown is what.

Seeing the situation end, Xue Bai also thought it was time for him to introduce himself. So controlling his flying sword to descend, Xue Bai landed in the center of the small crowd that had gathered.

"While I don\'t know how Your Majesty has introduced me, or if she has at all yet, I will take this moment to do so myself. My name is Xue Bai, the new Prince Consort. I hope you all can take care of me in the future." Xue Bai said in an eloquent manner, attracting the nods of many people nearby.

After his introduction, all of the nobles and cultivators in the crowd looked back at what happened to the still-stuck Long Tian, the pig head Long Zhenyu and the still happy-looking Liu Mei. They couldn\'t help but think that Xue Bai was much more pleasing to the eye.

"Also forgive my pet… companion. She hasn\'t been in the human world for a very long time and doesn\'t know much of its traditions. Where she lived, a good blood-boiling battle is the easiest and also the most common way to greet someone. In fact, the more one hurts the other, the better their first impression of them. So while she did hurt the Imperial Guard Leader, it was all in good meaning." Xue Bai lied through his teeth.

When he first said the word pet, Liu Mei instantly glared at him and made him instantly change the phrasing.

As for the words after that, Xue Bai once read them in a cultivation novel, and since he had such a perfect opportunity to use them, why shouldn\'t he? Whether the people believed him or not didn\'t matter at all in his mind.

Liu Mei was still here, just a few feet away from Xue Bai, so who would dare point out something?

And as for them proving his statement to be a lie? That was even less possible.

The only reason Liu Mei left her cave was for Xue Bai and his promise. But while she did agree to leave, Liu Mei didn\'t agree to be respectful to anyone other than him and his eventual subordinates.

So there was no chance she would go out and point out the lies in statements. She would only gain Xue Bai\'s ire if she did so.

Xue Bai also took this moment of awkward silence while the nobles examined him to do the same.

Most of the nobles in attendance were either in the Law Engraving or the Law Manifestation realm, with a few exceptions still in the Dharma Idol realm. However, other than the vegetable cosplaying Long Zhenyu and the wall decoration Long Tian, no one was in the Domain Lord realm.

\'Weaker than I thought. But I don\'t know what I was expecting. This is the second-worst Province in the entire continent, after all.\' Xue Bai thought inwardly.

But as Xue Bai was looking at the many people in attendance, he suddenly felt a malicious gaze at his side.

Looking over, Xue Bai suddenly saw the first familiar face he had seen since arriving here on the Northern Continent.

\'That\'s Long San, isn\'t it?\' Xue Bai instantly recognized the scholarly yet dangerous-looking Long San at his side.

However, as he looked at Long San, he realized that there were many differences between the two Long San\'s he knew.

The one in the plot was much more malicious and scarily looking, to the point where he barely resembled a human. But now, even though Xue Bai could see some of the maliciousness now, it was nowhere near the amount from what he remembered. So it seems that at this point, Long San still hadn\'t fully blackened yet and still had some human semblance.

\'Doesn\'t matter. Now that he\'s here, that means I can finally start cultivating that!\' Thinking that far, Xue Bai\'s gaze turned from analyzing to careful and gentle, as if Long San were a precious flower he was planning to raise.

Long San himself was stunned at the switch-up, but since his grandfather had said that Xue Bai was his enemy, he didn\'t question it and continued to glare at Xue Bai.

As the two participated in an odd staredown, Feng Fei and Eunuch Lu quickly stepped in between the two.

"Xue Bai, stop staring at that clown. You\'ve already made an enemy of every single person in the Grand Duke\'s lineage! Staring at him like that won\'t do anything but make your reputation weird. Come over, and we can finally start the entrance exam. Right, Head Instructor Li?" Feng Fei quickly said as she tried to get Xue Bai to stop looking at Long San so weirdly.

\'Xue Bai, you\'re supposed to be my concubine, so why the hell are you looking at a man so dotingly?? Do you bend that way?\' Feng Fei was so confused, but since this wasn\'t the time to question Xue Bai\'s tastes, she didn\'t ask any questions here.

Agreeing with the woman\'s words, Xue Bai, Soviet, reluctantly looked away from his tonic and over to where she was pointing at.

There he found a hunchback old man shakily standing with the help of a cane. From a wrinkled forehead to a faint aura of death around him, the old man looked to be only a few years at most away from death, but as Xue Bai made eye contact with him, he suddenly felt like he was being analyzed with a magnifying glass.

It was like all of his secrets were being seen through.

\'This old man must have some special eyes.\' Xue Bai mentally noted down. But he also ignored the feeling at the same time.

No matter how special the old man\'s eyes were, he wouldn\'t be able to see through even the smallest secret he possessed. At most, he would be able through his weakened state or the fact that he had cultivated all of the Purification Stages.

Beyond those two things, what else could the man see through? Therefore Xue Bai was calm and let the old man do what he was doing.

But while he did let the old man analyze him, Xue Bai could see that deep in the man\'s eyes. There was a hint of both anger and disdain.

Obviously, the old man was either on Long Tian\'s payroll or hated Feng Fe and, consequently, was against Xue Baii. Either way, Xue Bai guessed that his appraisal wasn\'t going to be a good one.

Slowly through complete silence, almost a minute passed before the Head Instructor spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I can\'t allow this anomaly to enter our school gates! The Prince Consort may see himself out. Students follow me inside, and the entrance exam will start soon!" And with a wave of his leave, the old man turned around and walked inside, ignoring the stunned Feng Fei.

However, to his shock and terror, just as he turned around, a white figure flashed in front of him, blocking his path.
