Chapter 230 Related Households

Three young men stood in front of the houses in the open space, looking at Han Youzhi with cold smiles.

Old Han held his sword, restraining himself from drawing it: "Gentlemen, this is Elder Pei's cave dwelling in the outer sect. No need to invite me in..."

Before she could speak, the young man in the silk belted robe interrupted her with a smile: "What elder?"

"Elder Pei."

"No, no, no, that's not it. Say it again, what elder?"

Han Youzhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Outer sect..."

The other person once again turned to look at her, then looked up at his companion and laughed, "Oh~ Outer Sect Elder!"

The three burst into laughter, and the one in the lead looked at Han Youzhi again: "An outer sect elder, also an elder?"

Old Han smirked, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword, his thumb already pushing against the guard.

When Pei Xia came out, her sword was already half an inch out of its sheath.

"What's wrong?" he called out from afar.

Han Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him arrive, and put his sword back down: "Elder Pei, these fellow disciples want us to get out of here."

Are they here to cause trouble?
No, I haven't even settled in yet. Isn't this a bit too rushed?

Pei Xia gestured to Lao Han to calm her down, then stepped forward and looked at the three people.

The three were dressed in similar styles, except that the fabric of the person in front was obviously much more expensive. In addition, each of them had a purple cloth band tied around their left arm.

This should be their headband. When Senior Brother Li led Pei Xia and the others into the sect, it was included in the sect's attire. Pei Xia's was blue, while Han Youzhi and Lu Li's were green.

This appears to be a status symbol within the Long Whale Gate, distinguished from official positions, with yellow, green, and blue indicating higher status as one progresses through the ranks.

Pei Xia didn't know what level Zi Ze was, but it was definitely higher than her own.

He smiled and asked, "Gentlemen, what brings you here?"

The young man looked Pei Xia up and down. Pei Xia's face was covered in dirt and stone chips from the dust he had just been dusting, which made him want to laugh even more: "What, Elder Pei, can't even afford to open a hole?"

Pei Xia blinked and said very naturally, "Yeah, we're desperate for money."

The young man choked on his words, as if a sword he had been holding in his mouth for a long time had pierced his tongue.

That makes perfect sense. They're just starting out and don't have any special permits or licenses. How are they going to hire someone to open a cave dwelling for them?

Pei Xia looked at the three men and asked, "What brings you here, senior brothers?"

Another disciple with a purple turban behind the young man shouted, "Enough nonsense! This place has always been where Senior Brother Chai Yun fishes in the stream. Without Senior Brother Chai's permission, who gave you permission to open a cave here?"

Pei Xia looked ashamed: "The sect leader approves."

“Slap…” The man pointed at Pei Xia, his throat sounding as if someone had grabbed it, and turned to look at his senior brother Chai Yun.

Chai Yun stared at Pei Xia. He could tell that this young outer sect elder had a gentle and weak demeanor, but his words were sharp and veiled, each sentence more forceful than the last.

He clearly wasn't afraid of me.

How are you so awesome? How come there are still people in the Long Whale Sect who aren't afraid of you?
Chai Yun chuckled coldly and placed his hand on his sword: "Since Elder Pei can't afford to hire someone to open the cave, then how about we, his fellow disciples, help you out today?"

Seeing Chai Yun's hand on the sword, Pei Xia and Han Youzhi both breathed a sigh of relief.

That would be wonderful if you were willing to make the first move.

However, at that moment, a beam of light flew from afar and landed in front of Chai Yun, followed by a figure flying over.

Senior Brother Li, panting as he hurried, glared at Chai Yun and said, "Chai Yun, don't you have any manners?"

As the sect leader's personal disciple, Senior Brother Li holds a very high position within the sect.

Even so, Chai Yun didn't take it to heart, and just snorted: "Well, the Changjing Sect is tough now, it's not like it was when they were begging my father for favors."

Senior Brother Li clicked his tongue, but before he could speak, Pei Xia and Han Youzhi exclaimed in unison, "Oh~ a relative!" Senior Brother Li almost stumbled—come on, aren't you two relatives too?
He steadied himself and introduced Chai Yun, saying, "This Elder Pei was introduced into the sect by a senior at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm. Don't bother him with trivial matters."

After saying that, he looked at Pei Xia and said, "This junior brother Chai Yun is the disciple of Elder Ji Shaofu of the inner sect. He is... the second son of Minister Chai of the Ministry of Works of Xiao Chen Kingdom."

No wonder he is so arrogant.

Pei Xia politely inquired, "What young master?"

"Minister of Industry."

"No no no."

"Uh... Second Young Master?"

"Oh~ Second Young Master, you can be considered a young master?"

The atmosphere, which had just calmed down, suddenly became tense again.

Chai Yun didn't care about Senior Brother Li's slight. He placed his hand on the longsword and pushed open the blade with a "clang". Qi swirled around the sword, showing no intention of holding back.

However, no more than two inches after the sword was drawn, a foot had already stomped heavily on the hilt of his sword in the wind!

Chai Yun looked up and saw the young elder whose face was covered in dust.

Pei Xia exerted force with his foot, causing a sharp pain in the hand holding the sword, until the sword slipped from his hand and, still in its sheath, was driven into the stone slab in front of him by the other party's foot!
Chai Yun's cultivation level was extremely high, reaching the Refining Cauldron Realm. His attack was incredibly fast, without any warning.

But to everyone's surprise, the opponent raised his foot and stepped on his sword, and actually struck first despite being behind!
In the blink of an eye, when the people around looked again, Chai Yun had already stumbled several steps and sat down on the ground in a sorry state.

Pei Xia stepped on his sword, clapped his hands, and threw out a cloud of lime: "With your level of cultivation, you can walk around arrogantly in the sect. It seems that everyone usually gives in to you."

Frightened and angry, Chai Yun's face flushed red instantly upon hearing Pei Xia's words. He reached into his robes and pulled out three or five talismans.

"You bastard, you dare touch me? Today I'm going to blow you and your shabby cave to smithereens!"

Pei Xia was a master of the Su style, so he naturally recognized that the talismans on his talismans contained simple and brutal offensive spells.

Considering that this is something that can only be made by those at the sixth level, it is most likely not a sect allocation, but something he brought from home.

What a joke! Do you think I, Pei Xia, am afraid of Master Su?

Seeing that Elder Pei showed no fear whatsoever, he raised his foot, picked up Chai Yun's sword, and prepared to go over and beat him up.

Senior Brother Li finally lost his temper: "Give it all to me..."

"Stop it all!"

A clear shout interrupted Senior Brother Li's words, and a figure in a green robe gracefully descended from the cliff.

It was a woman who leaped and landed on a tree branch by the stream. Her long hair was tied to one side, and her slender figure was revealed by the wind in her green dress. She carried a long sword on her back and had a cold demeanor.

Upon seeing this person arrive, Senior Brother Li breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with a bow, "Uncle-Master Ji."

The other two disciples in purple caps also bowed respectfully, saying, "Uncle-Master."

Chai Yun remained seated on the ground, looking embarrassed and flushed. He neither got up nor spoke.

Pei Xia examined the person for a moment. This person should be Ji Shaofu, the inner sect elder and Chai Yun's master, whom Senior Brother Li had mentioned before.

Yes, she's at the peak of the Profound Realm, only one step away from opening her own mansion. Judging from her appearance, she should be considered to have exceptional talent.

However, Pei Xia did not bow in person.

Ji Shaofu didn't care. She just glanced coldly at her disciple before looking at Pei Xia. Her tone was flat and her voice was cold: "Elder Pei, your unworthy disciple has bothered you and caused you trouble."

Pei Xia chuckled and tossed Chai Yun's sword back to him. With a clang, it pierced the rock beside Chai Yun.

"I'm alright. I rarely get to see Senior Brother Chai, but Elder Ji is more upset. He has to see this guy every day."
