Xiao Kuangyun was very arrogant, and within the Xiao Sect, he indeed had the qualifications to be arrogant. Don't even mention that his words were ear-piercing, even if he had to scold everyone in Xiao Sect as dogs, everyone in the entire Xiao Sect would have to listen attentively. No one would dare to refute him, and there might even be someone who would wag their tails in cooperation.
"Before Elder Xiao Zheng passed away, he remembered the affection between father and son and left behind his last words. I hope to find you all and bring a member of the younger generation with the best aptitude to train in the Xiao Sect. "
Xiao Kuangyun picked up a namelist that Xiao Yun had prepared overnight, looked around, and then arrogantly said: "Today, I will personally check that. In a while, those whose names I have called will come in front of me to display your profound strength. However, aptitude is not determined by the strength of the profound strength, but by the foundation and potential! "
"Before I came here, my father asked me to bring a Profound Opening Powder. Not only can the selected person be brought back to the Xiao Sect, I can also use this Profound Opening Powder as a reward! "Good pills are only fit for those with sufficient aptitude. If used on trash, it would only be a waste!" As he spoke till here, Xiao Kuangyun turned his gaze towards Xiao Yun Hai and said, "Xiao Sect Lord, take out the Profound Opening Powder. Although this is a gift to your Xiao Sect, but to reward the person with the best aptitude, you should have no objections, right? "
No matter how absurd Xiao Kuangyun's words were, Xiao Yun would not dare to have any sort of meaning. But after hearing his words, Xiao Yun Hai's face instantly paled, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He did not go to get the Profound Opening Powder, but instead stood there, mumbling something.
"What's going on?" Xiao Kuangyun's face darkened: "Xiao Sect Master, you aren't unwilling to part with the Profound Opening Powder, are you?"
"No, no, of course not." Xiao Yun Hai hurriedly shook his head, his expression was filled with fear. "But …"
"But what?"
With a "putong" sound, Xiao Yun Hai fell to one knee. His hands trembled, and said with a terrified expression. I deserve to die. I placed the Profound Opening Powder Young Master Xiao gifted me yesterday, and told the people of infirmary to take good care of it. But... But this morning, someone from the infirmary came over and told me that the Profound Opening Powder that was placed in the infirmary was actually … It actually disappeared without a trace! "
The crowd below immediately went into an uproar, and a commotion broke out.
Stealing the treasures brought by the Xiao Sect … Who would have the guts to do so?!
"Hmm?" Xiao Che slightly knitted his brows as a wave of doubt rose in his heart … With his understanding of Xiao Yun for the past few decades, Xiao Yun was a very cautious person. With his personality, after he obtained the treasure brought here by the Xiao Sect, he actually didn't bring it with him, and instead gave it to the infirmary. It had to be known that Xiao Gu was the only one in infirmary. He focused on his medical skills and practically had no profound strength.
Furthermore, the Profound Opening Powder was brought over by the Xiao Sect. Even if someone were to drool over it, they should at least wait until the Xiao Sect's men had left before taking action. Why did they have to choose such a dangerous time … Even if he stole it, would he still have a life to use it?
Xiao Lie's entire body shook, and he suddenly turned to look at Xiao Lingxi, only to discover that Xiao Lingxi's face was also filled with shock. Sensing Xiao Lie's gaze, Xiao Lingxi hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to do with her. Xiao Lie then retracted his gaze and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
What … "What!?"
Xiao Kuangyun suddenly stood up from his seat, his expression becoming incomparably dark and stern as all the malevolent aura in his body shot into the sky. Someone actually stole that box of Profound Opening Powder? "
"This humble one was unable to protect you. Young Master Xiao, please punish me." Xiao Yun lowered his head, his face full of shame and fear.
"How preposterous!" Xiao Kuangyun ruthlessly sucked in a breath, his chest rising and falling heavily, his expression becoming more and more dark. It was obvious that he was extremely angry, "Someone actually dared to steal our Xiao Sect's gifts … Good! That's great! I have really underestimated this Cloud Flowing City! You guys really … "How dare you!"
Xiao Kuangyun's anger and killing intent had almost spread throughout the entire Xiao Sect, causing everyone to feel chills run down their spines. Their hearts twitched and they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Xiao Che squinted, his eyes looking straight into Xiao Kuangyun's eyes. After a while, he poked Xiao Lie, and asked softly: "Grandfather, the Sect Leader couldn't have offended this Xiao Kuangyun yesterday, right?"
Xiao Lie was startled, then shook his head. "Xiao Yun has always been cautious, he shouldn't have done that."
"That's strange." Xiao Che tapped his chin, and said in a low voice: "This Xiao Kuangyun's anger is obviously fake. If the Sect Leader offended him, then he came to steal from himself and then disgust the Clan Master, that would be a pretty good explanation. If that wasn't the case … Could it be that Xiao Kuangyun is singing monkey plays alone? "
"... Don't talk nonsense. " Xiao Lie didn't understand what he was saying and reminded him in a low voice.
Xiao Kuangyun's gaze was sinister, and his face darkened like dark clouds: "When I took out the Profound Opening Powder yesterday, only the people of the Xiao Sect were around. I think your Xiao Sect people aren't stupid enough to spread the news of obtaining a high level pellet to the ears of outsiders. In addition, the defenses of is not weak, it would not be easy to break in … In that case, it should be a thief from your Xiao Sect! "
Xiao Kuangyun's words caused everyone's expression to change, and the whispers became even louder. Xiao Yun also quickly nodded, "Yes! Young Master Xiao was clear. After knowing that the Profound Opening Powder was stolen, I also thought that it was our Xiao Sect's people who stole it. infirmary's Xiao Gu is close to sixty years old and has always been aloof from worldly affairs. He simply does not have any desire towards Profound Opening Powder, so it should not be him keeping an eye on others and stealing from others.
"Humph!" A mere Xiao Sect is nothing in the eyes of us Xiao Sect! Any one of our servants in the Xiao Sect can wipe out your entire family! This time, we have humbled ourselves to the heavens and travelled a thousand miles to your Xiao Sect, so we have given you great face and grace … Yet you all have given me such a big surprise! This is simply slapping our Xiao Sect's face! "
Slapping the Xiao Sect's face …. This extremely large crime caused Xiao Yun's face to immediately turn ashen.
Xiao Kuangyun's eyes were like that of a venomous snake's, sweeping across all the faces. Those who met his gaze all lowered their heads in a flash, and no one dared to meet his gaze … However, this was not to say that Xiao Kuangyun's eyes were sharp, or that his aura was tyrannical, just because he had a Xiao Sect backing him.
Xiao Che's gaze moved to Xiao Yun Hai's face, and his expression became even more solemn. He said in a low voice that only he could hear: "This Xiao Yun Hai's appearance, was actually fake as well … What are they trying to do? "
Xiao Che had two lives' worth of memories, especially in his lifetime when he was in the Cang Yun Continental. He had experienced countless good and evil, experienced countless borderlines of life and death, and from a commoner in the market to the hegemon of Under Heaven, he experienced even more people. The sharpness of his eyes could even compare to a powerful Profound Practitioners who had lived for several hundred years.
Xiao Kuangyun looked around once again, and his tone suddenly became gentle: "Forget it, even though it's very pathetic, I don't need to be angry with a person from a small place like you. The person who stole the Profound Opening Powder, I'll give you 15 seconds to come out obediently and hand over the Profound Opening Powder. If you are still unrepentant, then don't blame me for being impolite. "
"Xiao Ba, begin the timer!"
After Xiao Kuangyun finished speaking, he coldly snorted and returned back to his seat. The young man in black to his left stepped forward and began to read the seconds in a low voice.
Xiao Yun Hai hurriedly turned around and said loudly, "Did you hear that evil creature that had stolen the Profound Opening Powder?! Young Master Xiao was tolerant of a large number of people, and had yet to return in time to apologize! Otherwise, not to mention Young Master Xiao, even us, from top to bottom, will definitely not be forgiven! "
"... Twelve... Eleven... Ten … "Nine …" The black-robed man named Xiao Ba mechanically read the numbers.
Everyone in Xiao Sect turned to look at the people beside them, trying to guess just who was brave enough to actually dare to steal the things that the Xiao Sect had brought. Although Xiao Kuangyun said "mercy", looking at his eyes, no one believed that they would receive his "mercy" after voluntarily admitting their guilt.
"... Four... Three... Two... One... "Time's up!"
As Xiao Ba's voice fell, he took a step back. Xiao Kuangyun stood up once again. With a sinister look, he started laughing coldly: "I've already given you a chance. Since you still don't know what's good for you, when I've caught you, don't blame me for being merciless! Xiao Jiu! "
"Yes sir!"
Following Xiao Kuangyun's shout, the other black-clothed young man stepped forward and immediately raised his palm. A vortex of profound strength quickly gathered in his palm.
"Xiao Sect Lord, the Profound Opening Powder was stolen along with the box, right?"
"Yes, it was stolen together." Xiao Yun nodded, his face revealing a doubtful expression, as if he did not understand why he would ask such a question.
"Very good … On the box that holds the Profound Opening Powder, there is the unique profound strength imprint of our Xiao Sect — — Eagle Imprint! As long as we activate the unique profound strength of our Xiao Sect, we can very quickly sense where the Eagle Seal is! "
Just as Xiao Kuangyun finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his hand, growled "Over there", and transformed into a gale as he charged towards the right at lightning speed. He was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Hur hur, looks like we've found it." Xiao Kuangyun laughed coldly, a deep sense of pride flashing through his eyes … He seemed to be very satisfied with his performance.
"That's great, Xiao Sect is indeed watertight." Xiao Yun's sea of consciousness also revealed a joyous expression, then his face darkened as he said in a serious voice: "Young Master Xiao, the nature of this matter is too vile. Not only did it enrage Young Master Xiao, it also caused our Xiao Sect to lose all face. So no matter who the thief is, even if it's my son, Young Master Xiao need not have any scruples.
"Humph!" Of course, those who offend my Xiao Sect, will never have a good ending! "
At this time, a gust of wind blew past and Xiao Jiu had already rushed back with a wooden box in his hands. The Heavenly Eagle Finger on the wooden box was still faintly glowing, and this wooden box, was precisely the one that Xiao Kuangyun had given to Xiao Yun yesterday, and the one that contained the Profound Opening Powder.
"Young Master, I found it." Xiao Jiu handed the wooden box over to Xiao Kuangyun and then silently stepped back.
All the whispers stopped and the surroundings became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. The atmosphere had completely turned cold. Everyone widened their eyes and held their breaths, waiting to see who the person who dared to steal the Profound Opening Powder was … They could already foresee how miserable that person's fate would be.
"Xiao Jiu, where did you find this box?" Xiao Kuangyun said with a cold smile.
"66th yard, under the pillow in the main room." Xiao Jiu remained expressionless as he replied clearly.
Courtyard 66...
Everyone's gaze immediately concentrated in one direction, looking incredulously at the young girl who looked as if she had been scared silly.
When she heard the words "66th courtyard", Xiao Lingxi's entire person was stunned in place. Looking at the pairs of eyes that were turning towards her, she retreated a few steps, shook her head in panic, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not me … "It's not me!"
