515 Cockeyed! (1/2)
Marquis Yun took a composed step forward and replied firmly, ”I am Yun Xiaoyao. I don't carry the royal name, but I was previously a member of royalty. I wonder what would yours be?”
The person waved his hand dismissively and said, ”I've stayed away from this mundane world for so long that I no longer remember what my name is… You all may call me Immortal Dahuang.”
Dong Tianleng rolled his eyes behind Marquis Yun and could not help mumbling softly under his breath, ”You don't remember your name - do you still remember those who gave birth to you and who brought you up?”
The man's attitude had improved considerably over time but there were still moments where his brain malfunctioned. Other people would never have said such words out loud under the current circumstances but he had blurted it out without a care.
The Immortal Dahuang turned slowly and trained his gaze upon Yun Yang, saying lightly, ”Such a sharp tongue for a person so young; what a poor upbringing you must have had. In years to come, you will certainly become the scourge of this world!”
The group was dumbstruck.
Dong Tianleng was the one who spoke, but why was Immortal Dahuang focusing his attention on Yun Yang?
The unexpected accusation stumped Yun Yang as well.
Was this fellow an idiot? Could he not distinguish who the speaker was? Dong Tianleng had spoken his mind, but he was not the one who had been accused. Had this fellow turned so dull from the pomposity that he could not recognize people anymore?
Yun Yang laughed. ”Does offending you mean that one will turn into the scourge of this world in the future? Immortal Dahuang, you are certainly talented at accusing people! I'm impressed!”
He pursed his lips and said, ”Since you spoke while looking at me, I shall just assume responsibility for those words uttered earlier. Say, Immortal Dahuang, are you going to kill me to exterminate the scourge of this world, since you are looking at me like that?”
It was true that the newcomer's ability was very proficient; hovering was a peak ability ordinary cultivators longed for. However, Yun Yang was not very fearful since the other party's provocation was blatant. They probably took opposing stances and Yun Yang would never opt to submit. The four of them, himself included, had the world's pinnacle combat power gathered together; unless this person was at Mr. Nian's level, they had more than a fighting chance to win. Therefore, Yun Yang's words were not courteous at all, sarcasm brimming in every one of them.
To everyone's surprise, the Immortal Dahuang blushed as he said, ”You are the insensible one, child. This did not initially concern you, but you would insist on speaking out and spew nonsense! What is this?”
At those words, not only was Yun Yang confused, but even Marquis Yun, Dong Tianleng and the rest were dumbfounded.
What did he mean? He was already finding fault with Yun Yang about things Dong Tianleng had said and now he was turning back on his words? What the heck was going on?
Yun Yang thought quickly. Upon closer observation, he saw that this person was obviously talking to him, yet his gaze was trained on Qiu Yunsan. A lightbulb flared in Yun Yang's head, almost causing him to guffaw out loud.
”Immortal Dahuang…” Yun Yang asked tentatively, ”May I politely ask if you suffer from strabismus?”
Immortal Dahuang fumed at once, his eyes glaring at Qiu Yunsan as he cried, ”You are the one who is cockeyed! Your entire family is strabismic!”
Qiu Yunsan, while horrified, had nothing to say.
Yun Yang almost fainted. Marquis Yun's face was twitching as well, almost laughing out loud.
This person had arrived so suddenly, like a dragon descending from the heaven. His grandeur and cultivation base was beyond everyone's estimation. He truly did move with the grace of an immortal, a deity. There was also the short opening poem of his, recited to elevate his image to substantial heights.
Just as everyone was trying to guess who this person was and what was he doing here, no one would have expected that he was suffering from strabismus! To make matters worse, the person's squint was terribly severe.
Yun Yang let down his guard then, saying, ”Please do not be angered, Immortal Dahuang. I am sure it is an innate condition which can't be helped. In asking the question, I did not mean to insult you. Instead, if you want to avoid similar troubles in the future, I have an amazing solution that can cover for your condition…”
Immortal Dahuang asked impatiently, ”What solution would that be?”
