Chapter 326: The Handsome and Rich Sheng Xiao
Sheng Xiao turned his head to look at Sheng Yang. He scolded her in disdain, “Look at your sorry state. Isn’t it embarra.s.sing?” A little girl clamoring was not cute at all.
Yu Huang was still the cutest.
At the thought of Yu Huang and Sheng Yang, Sheng Xiao shook his head in disappointment.
Sheng Yang held her aching chest and staggered to Sheng Xiao’s side. She said coldly, “That person was a Master! It’s normal that I can’t defeat him as a Scholar.”
Sheng Xiao said subconsciously, “When Yu Huang fought with a Master, she wasn’t as cowardly as you.” Even if she could not defeat him, she would grit her teeth and endure it. Then, she would find every opportunity to resist.
How could she be like Sheng Yang, seeking external help when she could not win?
Sheng Xiao’s words sounded just like how parents who liked to compare their children with other people’s children.
Sheng Yang had a good relationship with Yu Huang, but that did not mean that she was willing to be belittled by Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Yang rolled her eyes and deliberately jabbed Sheng Xiao. “You talk about Yu Huang all the time, but she hasn’t even called you!”
Sheng Yang glanced at Sheng Xiao’s pocket and saw the outline of his phone. She said, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you charge your phone every day just to wait for Yu Huang’s call.”
Sheng Xiao’s expression was a little unnatural. He said, “She is in seclusion. Of course she is busy.”
Sheng Yang said, “Oh, she’s so busy that she doesn’t even have time to send you a message or call you.”
Sheng Xiao said, “Her phone has no signal.” Sheng Xiao called Yu Huang a few times. At first, he called her, but the robotic female voice kept reminding him that her phone was not in the service area. Then, he called her again, but her phone was switched off.
It was obvious that Broken Cliff’s wireless signal was unable to reach the base’s antenna due to the miasma of resentment. Naturally, she could not be reached.
If he did not know that Yu Huang’s life would not be in danger with Lin Jiansheng around, Sheng Xiao would have gone to Broken Cliff to look for her.
“You should comfort yourself like this.” Sheng Yang pouted. “I think she just finds you annoying and can’t be bothered with you. You’re so sharp-tongued and annoying. Which girl would like you?”
Sheng Xiao sneered. “You don’t have to worry. As long as your sister-in-law likes me, it’s fine.”
Sheng Yang was speechless.
Sheng Xiao was smug.
Sheng Yang looked at her brother in disbelief. In the past, her brother was proud and prudish. After he started dating, he was instantly tainted.
In terms of romance, Sheng Yang, a young lady, naturally could not win against a grown man who was nearly 30 years old.
Sheng Yang, avoiding Sheng Xiao’s gaze, turned around. She lowered her head and tore open her leather clothes. Seeing that her chest was a bit bruised from that Beast Tamer’s stomp, she immediately frowned.
The other party was only a Master and could easily defeat her. The Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization was mysterious and powerful. If she encountered the Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization, how could she possibly escape?
Sheng Yang rubbed her chest and turned to Sheng Xiao. “Brother, is the Saint Tomb about to open?”
“The news I received is that the Saint Tomb will open in two months.” The Saint Tomb was a cemetery that buried all the fallen Prime Master powerhouses of the Divine Realm Continent.
There were a total of eight Prime Masters buried there. They were also the only eight Prime Masters in the history of the Divine Realm Continent in the last 10,000 years.
The Saint Tomb was only open to core disciples of second-grade cultivation families and above in the Divine Realm Continent. It opened once every 30 years. The last time the Saint Tomb opened was 20 years ago. According to the rules, the Saint Tomb should be opened 10 years later.
However, the situation was tense right now. In order to increase the power of the core disciples, after some discussion, the various clans unanimously decided to open the Saint Tomb early.
Hearing Sheng Xiao’s answer, Sheng Yang said, “I heard that a lucky beast tamer can obtain the ancestors’ legacies after entering the tomb. I also want to enter the tomb to cultivate. Even if I can’t obtain the legacy, the spiritual energy there is very strong. After cultivating for a few months, it might help me to break through to the level of a Master.”
“If you want to enter the Saint Tomb, you must defeat a Beast Tamer of the same age as you from our clan and successfully enter the top 20 of the clan.” For the sake of fairness and sharing resources, each clan could only send 20 disciples to the Saint Tomb.
Even if Sheng Yang was the Sheng family’s little princess, she had to fulfill this requirement.
Sheng Yang sighed and said, “I’m going to continue my training.”
“Yeah.”
After Sheng Yang left, Sheng Xiao took out his phone. Unwilling to give up, he called Yu Huang again. He thought that he would receive a reminder that Yu Huang’s phone was turned off this time, but he got through instead.
On the other end of the line, pure piano music started playing.
Sheng Xiao was overjoyed. He took his phone and flew to the top of a towering tree. The signal here was the best.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up. Just when Sheng Xiao thought that Yu Huang would not pick up the call, the phone rang. The call was picked up and a crisp male voice was heard.
“What’s this? Where’s my hen laying eggs?” The boy’s words were filled with confusion.
Sheng Xiao was puzzled. Who was this child? Why was Yu Huang’s phone with him?
The boy added, “Where is my hen laying eggs? Huh? Why can’t I turn this off?” The boy was trying to turn off the call and continue playing the hen laying eggs game.
Having guessed the boy’s intention, Sheng Xiao shouted, “Little boy, I’m looking for Yu Huang. Is she here?”
He was sitting on a tree while sunbathing and playing the game of hen laying eggs when he heard a stranger’s voice on the phone. He, thinking he had touched some magical switch, was startled.
Did the monster run into the phone?
Kong Qing opened his mouth and sucked hard at the charging mouth of the phone. However, he did not suck out any monsters.
“That’s weird. Why is someone talking in here?” Kong Qing, who’d never made a call before, had always a.s.sumed that the phone was just a game console playing a hen’s egg game. He’d had no idea that the phone was used for phone calls.
Sheng Xiao immediately understood what was going on.
“Little kid, don’t hang up!”
Kong Qing stopped. He asked in confusion, “Who are you? Why are you living in Yu Huang’s phone?”
Sheng Xiao felt relieved when he heard Yu Huang’s name.
Sheng Xiao said, “My name is Sheng Xiao.”
Kong Qing was enlightened. “Oh, are you the handsome and rich Sheng Xiao that father mentioned?”
Sheng Xiao was speechless.
“Who is your father?”
Kong Qing said confidently, “My father is Lin Jiansheng!”
Sheng Xiao was surprised. “Supremacy Lin is your father?” Wasn’t Supremacy Lin famous for being a virgin? He was a bachelor. He had never been in a relationship even after living for more than a hundred years. When did he have such an old son?
Supremacy Lin really hid himself well!
“Little kid, what’s your name?”
Kong Qing said, “My name is Kong Qing!”
“Brother… Kong Qing.” Yu Huang was Supremacy Lin’s disciple, and Kong Qing was Supremacy Lin’s son. According to seniority, Kong Qing was Yu Huang’s junior, so it wasn’t wrong to call him brother.
