Chapter 38 - The Hall of Life and Death (1/2)

The cold voice immediately attracted the focus of every disciple.

Who dared to mock their dream girl?

Qin Nan—who was initially observing the disciples—had his eyes turn cold as he heard the words; he turned toward the person.

Standing before Xiao Qingxue was a young man with an extremely feminine appearance.

The young man was wearing dark clothing which caused his skinny figure to look even thinner, like a skeleton, giving everyone an irritated feeling when they looked at him.

Despite that, every disciple, including Qin Nan, felt a forceful power emitting from the feminine young man.

This power was equivalent to Xiao Qingxue’s, indicating that he had reached the Martial Emperor Realm.

As the disciples realized this feminine young man was no ordinary person, they immediately concealed their disgust and stood aside to observe the situation as bystanders.

At the same time, Xiao Qingxue frowned her eyebrows, and without hiding any of her disgust toward the man, said, “Mo Li, you annoying stalker, quit your nonsense.”

“Stalker?” Mo Li let out an evil smirk, and said, “Yes, I’m a stalker. Who told you to reject me before? Would you still reject me if I had the talent and background like Mr. Ou Yang? Ah, Miss Xiao Qingxue, today I—Mo Li—am telling you, if you’re willing to keep me company, I’ll stop pestering you. If you aren’t…”

No one had expected Mo Li to be so cocky, saying such disrespectful and daring words in public.

An icy expression appeared on Xiao Qingxue’s face, and her body emitted a murderous aura, “Piss off!”

“Piss off?” Mo Li did not care about her murderous intent. Instead, he released a lustful expression while he stared fearlessly at Xiao Qingxue’s body, “I would gladly do so! Didn’t I tell you before, if you—”

However, this time, before Mo Li was able to finish his sentence, a calm voice interrupted, “Mo Li, is it? I have never seen any guy as shameless as you. I have learned something new upon meeting you today.”

The one speaking was none other than Qin Nan.

Qin Nan stood up without hesitation, even though he knew that this Mo Li had some background, he still chose to interfere.

In Qin Nan’s view, Xiao Qingxue was his friend, who had helped him on several occasions. Therefore, Qin Nan would not be a bystander when Xiao Qingxue was mocked in front of the crowd.

Even if his current cultivation base was merely the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm.

Upon hearing this, Mo Li had his face turned cold. His body was filled with a murderous aura like the form of soaring dragons; his eyes stared hard at Qin Nan and in a deep voice, he said, “Such courage, a mere new recruit dares to oppose me? Young lad, do you know who I am?”

Xiao Qingxue gathered her thoughts and saw that Qin Nan was standing firmly in front of her. She felt a warm feeling inside her heart, as if something had just touched it.

However, she instantly reacted by slightly changing her expression and said, “Mo Li, don’t you dare—”

Before she could finish, Qin Nan reached out his hand and tapped gently on her shoulder, indicating for her to say nothing.

Under the crowd’s gaze, Qin Nan stood firmly in front, facing the intimidating aura from Mo Li, and—showing no sign of being affected—he let out a cold smirk and said, “Who are you? If I’m guessing right, you would be one of the elders’ son, or disciple? But who cares? Do you know who I am?”

When he said this, Qin Nan straightened his body, emitting a prideful aura.

The surrounding disciples found themselves checking Qin Nan out with flickering eyes.

They were unaware of Qin Nan’s presence previously. Thus, it was surprising for them to see this guy—with a mere cultivation base of the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm—be brave enough to oppose Mo Li, who appeared to have quite a formidable background.

Following this, the disciples remembered then how Xiao Qingxue had escorted Qin Nan to the White Jade Dojo.

Either of these two reasons seemed to indicate that this ‘ordinary guy’ beside Xiao Qingxue, maybe was not ordinary at all?

Mo Li was stunned for a while too. He had never expected a new disciple to go against his words, but he was definitely not someone to fool with, as his face turned cold and he said, “Who are you?”

As he asked the question, it seemed like Mo Li was being slightly cautious.
