I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1089 - 1090 Are You Confused

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1090: Are You Confused? Chapter 1089 -1090: Are You Confused? “This time, we must rely greatly on Young Master Beishan. Let that boy know some people can’t be offended!”

A middle-aged man from the Huo Family cupped his fists in salute, his face bearing a hint of fawning as he spoke. He was a steward of the Huo Family, originally planning to bring the younger generation to visit the Ancient Dragon Pavilion and see the world, but they had been unexpectedly turned away at the door.

Moreover, the Huo Family disciples were insulted and scorned by the surrounding cultivators.

It was this Ice Dragon Island genius who had his ways, ostensibly bickering with Young Master Han, but had in fact secretly undermined the latter’s foundation. It was laughable that the youth thought he was winning the verbal battle, unaware that it was all a trap set by Young Master Beishan.

Such fledglings could only obediently walk into the trap.

“Hmph, you all can rest assured, this boy won’t be hopping around much longer.”

Young Master Beishan’s expression was cold, a mocking look appearing in his eyes. Playing games with him, he could play someone to death.

“With Young Master Beishan here, such a jumping clown is not to be feared.”

The Huo Family middle-aged man also snickered maliciously.

The two groups hit it off immediately, a picture of pleasant conversation.

At that moment, another figure flashed in front of the Ancient Dragon Pavilion, and Uncle Huo came out with an anxious face.

“Have you all seen Young Master Han come out while you were waiting here?”

“We saw him, Uncle Huo. I must say, your judgment really isn’t that good, treating any trash as nobility. Earlier, you were so rushed, saying you met somebody incredible. I thought it was some expert, but it turned out to be just a milk-smelling greenhorn.”

The Huo Family middle-aged man said with a light smile, completely disregarding Uncle Huo’s anxiety. In his view, clinging to the prodigy of Ice Dragon Island was already enough to add luster to the family’s power.

“It’s good that you didn’t make things difficult for him; otherwise, I fear my Huo Family would face a calamity!”

Uncle Huo patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hm?”

“Uncle Huo, you might have misunderstood. Just now, that boy spoke insolently, and friend Beishan already taught him a lesson. On the stage a few days from now, he will surely be killed!”

The Huo Family middle-aged man said gleefully.

“Damn it, you are making things difficult for me, Mr. Huo!”

“The path of our Huo Family has been narrowed by you all!”

“I warned a thousand times not to make an enemy of Young Master Han, have you taken my words as a breeze past your ears?”

Uncle Huo’s face suddenly changed as he spoke.

“Uncle Huo, it’s because this boy somehow got hold of the Ancient Dragon Order and barred us even from entering the auction venue, let alone a greenhorn daring to cut off our financial path. I can’t tolerate this!”

“Uncle Huo, regardless of your relationship with that boy, you shouldn’t protect him like this. Just now, Young Master Beishan has already secretly acted to destroy his cultivation foundation. His life is already short.”

The Huo Family middle-aged man said indifferently.

Beishan slowly nodded, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes towards Uncle Huo. “That’s right, I have already induced the Frost Qi to invade his veins,”

“What?”

Uncle Huo’s pupils contracted, and he momentarily saw blackness, feeling the world spin around him.

“You’ve been foolish, if not for Young Master Han, my Huo Family would never have accessed such rare resources. Disturbing Young Master Han, my Huo Family is in peril!”

Li Xiaobai’s feat of killing a Half-Saint was too shocking; originally, when he was on the ship, he had sworn never to reveal a word about that day’s event. Even without that oath, he would not explain the true situation to the Huo Family.

A hidden powerhouse disguised as the Third Young Master of the Han Family, he even eradicated the other two young masters of the Icy Frost Sect along with a Half-Saint Strong Expert. If such news were to spread, it would cause a great shock.

He had repeatedly stressed the exceptional nature of that person, yet there were still those in his family who refused to listen and wished to clash with the magnate.

“Uncle Huo, there’s no need to worry. With the Frost Qi of Young Master Beishan poisoning that lad, he’s bound to die.”

A middle-aged man from the Huo Family spoke.

“Foolishness, utter nonsense!”

“How could mere Heavenly Immortal Realm Frost Qi harm Young Master Han!”

“Not to mention the Heavenly Immortal Realm, even if a Half-Saint Strong Expert were to arrive, they wouldn’t be able to harm him in the slightest. You are mindlessly provoking him. To preserve our Huo Family’s century-old reputation, we might have to disassociate ourselves from you.”

“I will return to our clan immediately to propose your expulsion from our family records. From now on, you will no longer be part of our Huo Family!”

Uncle Huo erupted in anger, his expression one of intense frustration as if he were disgusted by their incompetence. In an instant, he vanished from the spot, leaving only a few bewildered faces behind.

“What did Uncle Huo just say?”

“That Young Master Han can’t even be harmed by a Half-Saint?”

“This boasting is almost reaching the heavens. How could a mere junior compare with a Half-Saint? Moreover, the cultivation level of Young Master Beishan is outstanding even among those in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, ranking in the top twenty on the Immortal Ranking. How could he be compared to an utterly unknown individual?”

“It’s merely rhetoric, there’s no need to take it seriously. It’s just making Young Master Beishan the butt of the joke.”

The brows of the middle-aged man from the Huo Family furrowed slightly as he spoke dismissively.

“I never expected that in a business-oriented family like the Huo Family, there would be such people who engage in deceitful tricks, quite an eye-opener indeed.”

“Today’s incident is just a slight interruption. Those who dare insult the disciples of Ice Dragon Island only meet death. I’ll make sure he dies on the dueling platform. You need not worry excessively.”

Young Master Beishan remained indifferent, completely disregarding Uncle Huo’s words.

“Young Master Beishan is invincible!”

…

Simultaneously, inside the Lingxue Pavilion.

Manager Wang arrived in Li Xiaobai’s room with a victorious smile, bringing a cup of tea, the complimentary kind.

“Young Master Han, the trip to the Ancient Dragon Pavilion yesterday truly yielded a profitable loot. We acquired many valuable items. We owe it all to Young Master Han!”

“It’s said that Young Master Han was informed of a significant change in the auction list of the Ancient Dragon Pavilion and specially had someone notify Manager Wang. I am deeply grateful for this favor.”

Manager Wang said cheerfully, his laughter resembling that of a child, completely oblivious to the fact that he had been swindled and was still counting money for some else.

“Hahaha, Manager Wang, don’t mention it. Business is all about making money. I’m glad you could participate in the auction and return with treasures.”

Li Xiaobai also smiled, gratefully sipping the tea. He felt extremely comfortable knowing that he had managed to fleece quite a bit from the normally stingy Manager Wang, thinking, “That’ll teach you to overcharge me. I’ll bankrupt you without you even realizing it!”

“Here are two letters, one is an invitation from the Island Master for tomorrow’s gathering at the White Jade Tower to unite heroes from all over the world, naturally including you. As for this other letter, it appears to be from a cultivator of the Huo Family. What it’s about, I’m not quite sure. Please take a look, Young Master.”

After some pleasantries, Manager Wang addressed the matter at hand, handed over the two letters to Li Xiaobai, and then took his leave.

“Quite expedient.”

Li Xiaobai opened the envelope from the Huo Family, glanced over it, and his expression grew intrigued. It was from Uncle Huo.

“Our Huo Family wishes to follow the great one. We will promptly deal with the ignorant troublemakers, and provide a satisfactory answer to today’s incident. Please, do not take offense!”

Uncle Huo indeed knew how to handle things, deciding immediately to disassociate from those troublemakers after learning of the earlier incidents. However, with his current strength and cultivation level, he didn’t take those few from the Huo Family to heart—a mere bunch of insignificant bugs, not worth his true anger.

He opened the other invitation, which was even more concise.

“Tomorrow at the hour of Chen, a gathering at the White Jade Tower to compete with heroes from all over!”
