Chapter 1376: I Told You To Not Provoke Me

A young lady had come before the lake and had stumbled upon the naked Xiang Shaoyun. Her beautiful eyes were akin to a pair of crescent moons, reflecting the limpid pond before her eyes. Her eyes carried the look of pure innocence, and her round face looked incomparably adorable. Her long hair slowly drifted about in the wind, seemingly connecting straight to one's heartstrings.

When Xiang Shaoyun noticed her, he felt incomparably awkward. It was not that he had never appeared naked before a woman before. In fact, during his childhood, he was brave enough to tease the maids in charge of bathing him. Eventually, he got himself a wife, and he was still able to quickly adapt to the life of being attended to by a woman. But here in the wilderness, he felt embarrassed to have his entire body seen by a woman.

Fortunately, he reacted swiftly and hurriedly covered himself with his black clothes. Only then did the young woman recover from her reverie. Her face turned red as she snorted and turned to leave.

When Xiang Shaoyun reached the shore, he smiled in a self-mocking manner and muttered, "I was too careless. I treated myself as someone dead and forgot to lay out an early warning system before going into the lake. As a result, a stranger saw me completely. From how she's behaving, she has no intention of taking responsibility for what she saw. What a loss."

He shook his head, put on his belt, and swaggered off. But before he could go far, he sensed about a dozen people flying toward him. They were all Skysoar Realm cultivators, and their target was clearly him.

Xiang Shaoyun did not hide from them. He watched on as the group surrounded him. The young lady from earlier was also among the group. She was mounted atop an ice hawk, and behind her was a sturdy young man acting as her guard. Evidently, the group was here looking for trouble.

"Are you the bastard who bullied my little sister?" questioned the young man on an ice hawk as he pointed at Xiang Shaoyun.

The young man was dressed in a luxurious outfit. With his unique temperament, he did not look like a regular beast hunter. Rather, he looked more like the young master of an influential clan.

His name was Yu Qing, the young master of the number one clan in a nearby territory, the Yu Clan. The young lady was Yu Ling, his little sister. As for the people around them, they were all their attendants. This was clearly a group of young cultivators here to temper themselves.

Xiang Shaoyun blanked out slightly as he said, "When did I bully your sister? She was the one who had bullied me!"

"Audacious! You dare falsely accuse my little sister? Man, slap his mouth," commanded Yu Qing furiously.

Beside Yu Qing, Yu Ling pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Forget it, big brother. It was my bad. We can't blame him."

"This kid is obviously an evil person. We must teach him a lesson," Yu Qing insisted.

Two of them advanced toward Xiang Shaoyun, attempting to arrest him. Both were Skysoar Realm cultivators confident they could easily capture a youngster like Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun did not bother resisting and allowed them to grab his shoulders. But when they tried to drag him forward, they found his body was as steady as a mountain. A solemn look surfaced on their faces.

"Get over here!" One of them had a bad temper and applied even more strength, but he had barely moved when a powerful force blasted him away.

The other cultivator was also blasted away despite having done nothing.

"Talk this out if you want. Do not make any rash moves," said Xiang Shaoyun without any trace of politeness. He looked at the Yu siblings and said, "You better investigate properly before making a judgment. Haven't you heard that trouble comes from the mouth?"

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't be bothered to kill for something so minor. After issuing them a warning, he decided to leave.

"You're quite capable, but don't even dream of leaving. My little sister is the pearl of our Yu Clan. Since you have frightened her today, you need to be taught a lesson. Everyone, go!" said Yu Qing unreasonably.

Yu Ling hurriedly said, "Forget it, big brother. It's really not his fault. If you insist, I'll ignore you from now on!"

Yu Ling was a kind soul who did not wish to harm the innocent.

"Fine, fine. I won't do anything to him. I'll let this slide if he apologizes to you," said Yu Qing. He was most afraid of his little sister's anger, so he could only compromise.

Xiang Shaoyun didn't even feel like entertaining them. He continued moving and was already more than 10 meters away from the group.

"Did you not hear my young master?" berated a peak King who blocked Xiang Shaoyun's path.

The King had barely finished his words by the time Xiang Shaoyun sent him flying. The rest of the group widened their eyes in shock. Evidently, they were alarmed by Xiang Shaoyun's strength.

"I told you not to provoke me," said Xiang Shaoyun as he shook his head. He then continued leaving. He believed that they would be smart enough to stop bothering him.

But before he could go far, the group approached him again. He was becoming angry, and he asked, "Are all of you trying to die?"

Yu Qing got off his ice hawk and bowed as he said, "Lord, Yu Qing would like to apologize for offending you."

Yu Ling also got off her mount and said, "Sorry."

When she looked at Xiang Shaoyun, she blushed as she thought, He's so good looking. When she had stumbled upon Xiang Shaoyun while he was naked, she felt incredibly shy. At the same time, she had also found herself greatly attracted. His figure was akin to a work of art, causing her to be endlessly fascinated with him. Thus, when she looked at him again, her heartbeat accelerated.

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand. "Just stop bothering me."

"Lord, please stay. I wish to become your disciple," Yu Qing hurriedly said.

The others were stunned. They had not imagined that Yu Qing, who was arrogant, would actually wish to become this stranger's disciple. After all, they knew nothing about this young man.

Xiang Shaoyun laughed, "Haha. You have good taste. Too bad your aptitude is too poor. If your little sister was the one wanting to be my disciple instead, I might consider it."

He then vanished into thin air before they could respond. He wasn't in the mood to involve himself with them.

When Yu Qing saw that Xiang Shaoyun had vanished completely, he exclaimed in astonishment, "What an expert."

"That's right. I can't see through him at all," said Yu Ling. "Big brother, we have a lot of experts back home. Why do you want to become that person's disciple?"

"I don't know. He gave me a unique sensation. With such strength, he did not bully the weak. He is basically the perfect role model for cultivators and is simply too cool. It's a pity that I can't be his disciple," said Yu Qing.

"I thought you wanted to teach him a lesson," said Yu Ling.

"Hehe, well, all that was for your sake," said Yu Qing as he laughed dryly.
