NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1420: Making Things Difficult
"What? Elder Red Lotus, are you disrespecting me?"
Xiao Yi looked at Elder Red Lotus with a mocking smile, his sharp gaze aggressive, exuding an overbearing presence.
The powerful aura caused Elder Red Lotus's face to turn pale.
All around, the Heavenly Tao Pavilion's strong men naturally took note of this; some felt Xiao Yi was going too far.
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak frowned deeply; Elder Red Lotus held a significant reputation in the Heavenly Tao Pavilion and was especially known as its greatest beauty. He was one of her admirers: "His Highness, the Saint Heir, is going too far..."
He intended to step forward as a hero to rescue the beauty.
But the Second Peak Master stopped him.
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak looked at the Second Peak Master in confusion.
The Second Peak Master shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Let's watch for now."
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak was unwilling, but with the Second Peak Master stepping in, he couldn't forcibly stand out, or it would mean clashing with the Second Peak Master, which wouldn't be good for him.
Seeing this, the First Peak Master was somewhat puzzled and secretly transmitted a message to the Second Peak Master: "What are you doing?"
The Second Peak Master remained expressionless, discreetly responding via transmission: "Do you think Xiao Yi is someone who would be swayed by beauty?"
"Huh?"
The First Peak Master was stunned.
This Elder Red Lotus was indeed exceptionally beautiful, known as the greatest beauty of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion.
For many years.
There were many who fancied her, but none had gained any tangible advantage. As for Xiao Yi, although they hadn't spent much time together, it was known that despite his youth, his temperament was certainly no less profound than theirs, these old fellows.
His behavior today was indeed a bit peculiar.
Upon this thought.
The First Peak Master also held his wine cup, observing coldly from the side.
Seeing both the First and Second Peak Masters remaining detached, others did not dare to step forward.
Elder Red Lotus was secretly furious.
She naturally saw that the First Peak Master and others blocked those who wanted to step forward to resolve the situation, which made her mood terribly bad, but she had no choice but to brace herself and comply with Xiao Yi: "Your Highness, the Saint Heir, is joking. How could Red Lotus dare disrespect you? It's just drinking, isn't it? Come, I'll drink it..."
As she spoke.
She filled her own wine cup and then drank it all in one go.
Xiao Yi swirled the jar in his hand, smiling mockingly, "I said the whole jar, not just a cup!"
Gulp, gulp, gulp!
Xiao Yi tilted his head back and swallowed the jar of strong liquor, burping, as he smiled broadly at Elder Red Lotus. This made Elder Red Lotus's face even more unsightly, like pig liver.
She hadn't expected Xiao Yi to be so aggressive, gritting her teeth, she said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Saint Heir, I'm really sorry, Red Lotus can't handle much alcohol..."
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yi suddenly changed his demeanor, sneering, "Today, you drink if you can, and even if you can't, you still have to drink!"
This time, the Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak couldn't bear it any longer, shouting, "Xiao Yi, Elder Red Lotus has worked hard to arrange this reception banquet for you and even offered you a toast. That already gives you plenty of face. Why must you be so aggressive?"
A look of delight flashed in Elder Red Lotus's eyes, but she maintained a facade of grievance, lightly biting her lip as she said, "Peak Master, forget it! It's definitely my fault, something I did that displeased His Highness, the Saint Heir. It's all my fault..."
Seeing Elder Red Lotus's aggrieved yet restrained demeanor.
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak felt a pang of heartache, looking at Xiao Yi with a furious expression, "Xiao Yi, are you a man? Look at what you've reduced Red Lotus to?"
Elder Red Lotus's eyes were red.
A thoroughly wronged expression.
She looked at the Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak with a gaze full of gratitude and a hint of flirtation.
This made the Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak even more impassioned, looking at Xiao Yi with an increasingly hostile gaze, he snorted coldly, ordering, "Xiao Yi, I command you to apologize to Elder Red Lotus immediately!"
Xiao Yi burst into laughter.
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak was willing to defy him just to please his crush.
"Oh no!"
The Second Peak Master, seeing the smile on Xiao Yi's face, felt a jolt in his heart.
Whenever this smile appeared on Xiao Yi's face, it meant someone was about to suffer.
However...
Previously, Xiao Yi wore that smile facing outsiders.
The result was the death of five Holy Kings from the three great sects!
But now.
This smile was directed at the Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak.
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak didn't notice Xiao Yi's change in demeanor, still full of anger, continuing to criticize, "When I first ruled over a peak, you didn't even know where you were playing naive games! Don't think that just because you've achieved a little, you can be disrespectful. I order you to apologize to Elder Red Lotus immediately, or else..."
"Or else what?"
Xiao Yi's smile grew brighter.
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak continued, "Or else, I'll take the place of your parents and teach you what it means to respect your teacher..."
The word "teacher" wasn't finished.
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak suddenly fell silent.
He only felt the temperature around him drop abruptly, an icy coldness enveloping his body.
This was extreme killing intent.
"This kid intends to make a move on me?" The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief.
One must know...
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak was also a king-level powerhouse, not at the peak of crowned kings but still walked 8600 steps on the Great Dao.
Given his long tenure in the Heavenly Tao Pavilion, few dared to oppose him within it.
Never mind anyone having killing intent toward him.
Slap!
As Xiao Yi was about to make a move, the Second Peak Master intervened first, slapping the Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak across the face. This slap showed no mercy, brutally knocking him to the ground.
The Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak looked at the Second Peak Master in disbelief: "You, you..."
"Shut up!"
The Second Peak Master snorted coldly, thinking this guy just doesn't know what's good for him, I just saved your damned life, then turned to Xiao Yi, saying, "Xiao Yi, the Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak drank too much, and his words were out of line. Don't take it personally!"
Xiao Yi gave the Second Peak Master a deep look, nodded, "I'll give you this face..."
Then.
Xiao Yi looked at the defiant Peak Master of the Thirty-eighth Peak and said flatly, "I know you are unconvinced, thinking I'm young and just lucky to get here. Today, I will let you know that my achievements are not just due to luck, today I will make you genuinely convinced!"
After saying this.
Xiao Yi suddenly turned around, striking a palm toward the still wronged-looking Elder Red Lotus.
Buzz!
The palm came with great momentum, fiercely and aggressively.
Catching everyone off guard.
"Not good!"
"Xiao Yi, stop!"
The First Peak Master and Second Peak Master spoke in unison.
Xiao Yi troubling Elder Red Lotus, they might turn a blind eye to, but this sudden action was an internal conflict of the same sect.
Such a thing must never happen!
However...
How could their speed compare to Xiao Yi's?
The palm, filled with the threat of death, had already fallen upon Elder Red Lotus's head.
In a moment between life and death.
The expressions of the First Peak Master and others turned livid, filled with rage, but before they could reprimand, they saw a sudden release of an incomparably terrifying aura from Elder Red Lotus...
