Chapter 256 You didn't expect that, did you? This young master also cultivates spiritual power.
"Hey, Master, look how generous His Highness is, donating so many rare metals to sponsor the competition. Mingde Hall is so powerful and wealthy, why don't we also place our bets?" Ye Nanxiao said with a grin.
Jing Hongchen glanced at Ye Nanxiao and shook his head, saying, "What you're saying is ridiculous. Mingde Hall is, after all, my life's work. It's not as big and powerful as you say. It's just a small sect. Besides, how many people are there in my family? With just this little bit of Mingde Hall, I'm hoping to earn a little more to leave to my grandsons."
After exchanging a few more words with Ye Nanxiao, Jing Hongchen learned to use Ye Nanxiao's methods to retort to him.
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's reply, Ye Nanxiao's lips twitched slightly. Today, he had finally met an old fox who was even more shameless than himself.
Is Mingde Hall a minor sect? Just some ordinary business?
What is your relationship with Jack Ma and Niu Huateng?
Alright, Versailles still depends on you, you old fox!
Seeing the expression on Ye Nanxiao's face, like an old man on the subway with his phone, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but laugh. She leaned closer to Ye Nanxiao and said, "Judging from your expression, you must be running out of rare metals, right? You must spend a lot researching those strange soul tools of yours, right? I heard you're the vice sect leader of the Tang Sect. You see, the sect leader is in charge of big things, so the small things within the sect are your responsibility as the vice sect leader, right? Every part of a sect's operation requires money, don't you think?"
Patting Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder, Jing Hongchen smiled kindly and said, "The operation of a sect cannot be separated from money, just like the production of soul tools cannot be separated from rare metals. Rare metals are not easy to obtain. I understand how heavy the burden is on your shoulders for the development of a sect. It is truly hard for you to take on the responsibility of a sect at your age."
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao looked at Jing Hongchen with the same puzzled expression as the elderly man on the subway looking at his phone.
As the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, is it hard for you?
Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment and then assigned the research to Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, since the two of them were now level five soul masters and could take on the task of modifying the sect's hidden weapons.
As for the sect's development direction and operational issues, Tang Ya took over all of those herself.
If you really think about it, Ye Nanxiao basically has nothing else to do at the Tang Clan except for recruiting guest elders as henchmen. Even if he did, he would push it to Huo Yuhao.
"Yes, it's quite busy, the burden is too heavy!" Ye Nanxiao shook his head and sighed, completely oblivious to the concept of shame.
Seeing this, Jing Hongchen chuckled twice and revealed his purpose: "If you have a large amount of funding to support you, then these problems will no longer be problems. In fact, with the support of external funds, once the Tang Sect develops and begins to operate independently, it will be time to enjoy life. You see, like me, spending my days playing with my grandson and researching soul tools—isn't that a wonderful life? Don't you think so?"
Jing Hongchen spoke enticingly, pointing out Ye Nanxiao's penchant for slacking off.
"The Hall Master is right!" Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin, agreeing with Jing Hongchen's point of view.
"But how easy is it to get foreign investment?" Ye Nanxiao said, pursing his lips.
If we could have fooled them, we wouldn't have been suppressed for so long back then.
Jing Hongchen revealed a sly smile, patted Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder and said, "Little Xiao, look, I have been researching soul tools for so many years, and I am quite famous in Mingdu. I have some wealth, and I only have a pair of grandsons. In the future, Mingde Hall will be left to Xiao'er and Meng'er. If you and Meng'er get together, then Mingde Hall will be your support. I am confident that with the financial resources of Mingde Hall, it will not be a problem to support your Tang Sect to become a first-class sect."
"The match has begun, goodbye Master!" Ye Nanxiao dashed to the center of the arena without looking back.
Although being a live-in son-in-law of Mingdetang is appealing, Ye Nanxiao can't stand the little poisonous woman.
Jing Hongchen stroked his long beard and slowly floated to the center of the arena.
The passage to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy opened, and a robust man in a red robe slowly walked onto the arena.
The man's dark skin revealed his royal status, and his muscular physique stretched his white robes. With each step he took, the small pebbles on the arena floor would vibrate.
The man's eagle eyes were fixed on Ye Nanxiao, and his robes fluttered even without wind.
"Xu Fengzhan, from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, please enlighten me," the man said calmly.
"I never expected it to be Xu Fengzhan, who was previously hailed as a royal genius. What exactly does His Highness the Crown Prince want to do?" Jing Hongchen frowned.
Ye Nanxiao's ears twitched slightly as he listened to Jing Hongchen's words.
"A genius of the Sun and Moon Royal Family? Why does he seem a bit strange?" Ye Nanxiao observed Xu Fengzhan and found that the latter's eyes were empty and devoid of any spirit.
Jing Hongchen's lips moved slightly as she whispered to Ye Nanxiao, "This person was a genius of the Sun Moon Royal Family, but he disappeared after the Crown Prince returned. I didn't expect him to still be alive. Be careful."
Ye Nanxiao nodded and introduced himself.
"The match begins!" Jing Hongchen shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fengzhan stood still, his empty eyes staring silently at Ye Nanxiao.
Wisps of icy mist emanated from Ye Nanxiao as he slowly walked towards Xu Fengzhan, carrying an ice blade.
Inside the VIP seating area.
Kong Deming snorted coldly, glanced at Xu Tianran, and his eyes were full of disappointment.
Orange remained expressionless, her hands clasped tightly on her lower abdomen, a growing sense of worry creeping into her heart.
She had heard Xu Tianran talk about Xu Fengzhan. If he hadn't chosen the wrong side back then, with Xu Fengzhan's talent for cultivation, he would probably be a Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo by now.
Xu Fengzhan is the only genius in the Sun Moon Royal Family who does not need to rely on drugs or secret techniques to improve his cultivation. His own martial soul is also one of the top-tier types, called the Sun Gem. It is mainly focused on mental attacks and can create extremely realistic illusions, easily causing enemies to lose themselves in the illusions.
Even Xu Tianran himself was unwilling to face Xu Fengzhan back then.
Xu Tianran only mentioned a little about this genius, and even Ju Zi thought that this former royal genius had been secretly disposed of by Xu Tianran. Unexpectedly, Xu Tianran kept him.
"Given Xu Tianran's methods, Xu Fengzhan must be under control. We can only trust Ye Huli." Ju Zi thought to herself, her left hand unconsciously stroking the small sachet hanging at her waist. Inside the sachet was a piece of rare metal engraved with an orange pattern.
Xu Fengzhan only began to make a move after Ye Nanxiao approached.
A round red gem appeared in Xu Fengzhan's hand, with deep red flames surrounding the gem and a faint red halo enveloping Xu Fengzhan's body.
"A gem-type martial soul? Mental or support type?" Blue light flowed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, and his mental power covered the surface of his body.
"Look directly at the sun!" Xu Fengzhan said, raising the sun gem in his hands.
A ray of sunlight descended from the sky and shone on the sun gem.
With the blessing of sunlight, the Sun Gem immediately shone with dazzling light, and halos of light continued to spread outwards.
Xu Fengzhan's six spirit rings shone brightly at the same time, and a sun pattern appeared out of thin air at the center of the Sun Gem.
"Seven layers of floating shields." Seven ice shields instantly appeared in front of Ye Nanxiao. Ye Nanxiao closed his eyes and relied on his "mind's eye" to sense Xu Fengzhan's movements.
"It's no use. Wherever there is light, that's my domain!" Xu Fengzhan shouted, and his first, third, and sixth soul rings gathered together and landed on the Sun Gem.
"Your ice is hard and cold, but can it block out the light?" Xu Fengzhan's figure slowly disappeared into the light of the Sun Gem.
The Sun Gem slowly rose into the air and floated in the original position of the sun, becoming an artificial sun.
Ye Nanxiao raised his hand to block a ray of sunlight that pierced through his ice shield, and smiled, "Ice is crystal clear and pure, it really can't block the light."
"Primordial Spirit Illusionary Prison!" Xu Fengzhan's whisper echoed in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
The blinding sunlight instantly engulfed Ye Nanxiao.
When the scenery before him returned to normal, Ye Nanxiao found himself surrounded by endless emptiness, and his martial spirit and soul skills had all disappeared.
"Xue'er?" Ye Nanxiao tried calling out to Xue Di in his heart.
"Xue'er? Is that your girlfriend's name?" Xu Fengzhan appeared in front of Ye Nanxiao and asked calmly.
"A relationship beyond that of a girlfriend," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile, reaching out to pinch his cheek.
Xu Fengzhan circled Ye Nanxiao a few times, clicking his tongue in praise, "I didn't expect your strength to be so good. You've even entered my Primordial Spirit Illusionary Prison, yet you can still remain conscious. If it were someone with insufficient strength, they would already be a puppet in my hands."
"But you're so good-looking, I really couldn't bear to see you turned into a marionette." Xu Fengzhan reached out and pinched Ye Nanxiao's cheek, leaning closer to examine him closely. "How can there be such a handsome man? You're not a woman disguised as a man, are you? Let me see?"
As Xu Fengzhan spoke, his hand, which had been on Ye Nanxiao's face, swept across his neck and headed straight for Ye Nanxiao's pectoral muscles.
"Brother, that's not right of you. I have a girlfriend. Places like my pectoral muscles are only for my girlfriend to touch. If you want to, remember to choose the right gender path in your next life." Ye Nanxiao reached out and grabbed Xu Fengzhan's hand that was about to commit a crime, grinning.
"Girlfriend? Is it Xue'er, the one you just mentioned?" Xu Fengzhan was not flustered at all, because this was his mental domain, where he was the master. Unless someone with a mental strength a whole level higher than his was here, no one could harm him in this domain.
Ye Nanxiao's expression suddenly turned cold, his fox-like eyes filled with chill.
"You're not one to call Xue'er by her name!"
Blizzards formed within the Primordial Spirit Illusionary Prison, with snowflakes dancing and icy winds like knives, bombarding the Primordial Spirit Illusionary Prison.
Xu Fengzhan's pupils shrank rapidly; he could feel his soul skill domain wailing in agony.
"Didn't expect that, did you? I also cultivate spiritual power!"
Ye Nanxiao floated in the air, the blizzard behind him condensing into a giant ice blade, which slashed down towards Xu Fengzhan.
