"You may have forgotten, but I am from the Assassin Dynasty. There is no one the Assassin Dynasty dares not kill. Let alone a mere Saint, we wouldn't even spare a thought for a Holy Son of a Sacred Land," Ghost Shadow said with a faint smile, glancing meaningfully at Chu Yunju.
Throughout Hua City, the crowd was astonished, and many felt a sense of dread towards Ghost Shadow. His words clearly indicated he was no ordinary person. If he truly intended to deal with a Holy Son of a Sacred Land, he would likely show no mercy, just as he claimed.
"Don't try to scare me here. I won't fall for your tricks!" Chu Yunju said coldly, his gaze sharpening.
"Am I lying to you? You can try and see if I dare to kill you."
Ghost Shadow sneered. He wouldn't even consider a mere candidate Holy Son, let alone a true Holy Son, as anything significant.
Chu Yunju's expression changed drastically, and the spiritual energy within him surged. He had never suffered such humiliation. To be looked down upon so thoroughly by Ghost Shadow, how could he stand idly by?
"Absolutely not!"
An elder with white hair interjected, "Their strength is not low, and there are two more beside them. If we engage them in combat, it might not be a wise move!"
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let that brat go?" Chu Yunju said coldly. "He killed someone from our Sacred Land and is still so arrogant, showing no regard for the Xuanguang Sacred Land!"
"We can only endure this matter!" the elder said, shaking his head. "We cannot afford to provoke people from the Assassin Dynasty. Even if this matter reaches the Holy Lord, he will likely agree."
Chu Yunju felt indignant but dared not act rashly. If he were to jeopardize his own foundation over this, it would be a loss. After all, as a candidate Holy Son, he had a high chance of becoming a true Holy Son in the future, and he would not miss such an opportunity.
Meanwhile, Ghost Shadow sneered, "If you don't dare to make a move, then get out of my way. If you dare to provoke me again, I'll take your dog life!"
Chu Yunju's face contorted with suppressed anger. Although he was deeply displeased, the situation was unfavorable to him, and he dared not speak out rashly to avoid provoking a conflict between both sides, which would not be beneficial for him.
"You boy, just you wait. I've noted today's matter. When I have free time in the future, I will settle the score with you!" Chu Yunju threatened before turning to leave.
Ghost Shadow remained indifferent, not taking Chu Yunju's words to heart at all. If Chu Yunju had any real ability, he would have made a move already instead of waiting until now.
"That's enough. Don't be too ostentatious," Peony said. "The Assassin Dynasty is not what it used to be. If we provoke the Sacred Land's displeasure, it will not be good for us!"
Ghost Shadow nodded slightly. He naturally understood the principle of knowing when to stop. Moreover, having made such a grand display today, he didn't need to press the issue further.
At the same time, Baihua Fairy, within the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, watched with amusement. Although her reputation was great, she had never seen such a dispute among the younger generation.
"I never expected people from the Assassin Dynasty to be so powerful, not even batting an eye at people from the Sacred Land!" Baihe exclaimed in surprise. "However, I do prefer the people from the Assassin Dynasty. As for that Chu Yunju, he's quite annoying."
"Whether it's the Assassin Dynasty or the Sacred Land, they are not people we can afford to offend," Baihua Fairy said. "Don't say such foolish things in the future. If someone overhears you, it will not be good for the Hundred Flowers Valley."
Baihe quickly nodded, not daring to say anything more. Just as Baihua Fairy had said, such matters were not to be spoken of carelessly, as it could lead to unnecessary trouble if mishandled.
"Baihua Fairy, I've taught that person a lesson for you. Should you not thank me?" Ghost Shadow looked at Baihua Fairy.
"He is from the Xuanguang Sacred Land. You have offended him, so you should think about how to escape!" Baihua Fairy smiled. "Otherwise, you might find yourself in some trouble."
"Is Baihua Fairy worried about me?"
Ghost Shadow smiled faintly, his figure transforming into an afterimage. He instantly appeared above the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and sat opposite Baihua Fairy, appearing quite leisurely.
Baihua Fairy did not refuse, instead pouring a cup of wine for Ghost Shadow, which drew cheers from many.
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to ascend to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and meet Baihua Fairy's gaze directly. If it were an ordinary person, they would likely have been struck down by Baihua Fairy's palm.
"I can't stand it!" Peony rolled her eyes. "I've seen shameless people, but never someone this shameless!"
"Let him be!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "After all, he brought us to Hua City with a purpose. Now that the purpose has been achieved, why would he give up so easily?"
Peony felt helpless but could not say much more. Just as Lu Fan had said, Ghost Shadow had brought them to Hua City with other intentions.
"Would you two like to join us for a drink?"
Baihua Fairy smiled. "It is fate that we meet!"
"Then we won't be polite!"
Peony stepped forward, directly ascending to the high platform, appearing quite at ease. Lu Fan also stepped up with a hint of helplessness.
Upon reaching the pavilion, Lu Fan smiled and said, "Baihua Fairy is likely not an ordinary person. Why are you willing to enter the mortal world?"
"Look at the way you're asking. She's not willingly entering the mortal world!"
Ghost Shadow said directly, "Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, Baihua Fairy has not been claimed by anyone!"
Baihua Fairy was slightly stunned, and her face instantly showed a hint of embarrassment. She had not expected Ghost Shadow to say such a thing.
"You two men, are you too casual?" Peony rolled her eyes. "She's a girl, after all. Speaking like that is not right!"
"It was my mistake!" Ghost Shadow smiled awkwardly, only now realizing that he shouldn't have spoken that way.
"It's alright!" Baihua Fairy smiled slightly. "I don't mind such things. And since I have come to this place of mortal affairs, why would I care about gossip?"
"You two don't know, but Baihua Fairy is the chief disciple of the Hundred Flowers Valley, and this Hundred Flowers Pavilion is operated by the Hundred Flowers Valley!" Peony said directly. "It is said that the Hundred Flowers Valley has the most prosperous finances in the entire Eastern Region, even surpassing the Sacred Lands. This must be Baihua Fairy's doing!"
"I don't have that capability!" Baihua Fairy shook her head. "However, the finances of the Hundred Flowers Valley are indeed derived from Hua City! Within Hua City, there are quite a few disciples of the Hundred Flowers Valley."
"Using women to acquire wealth, is the Hundred Flowers Valley's conduct too vulgar!" Lu Fan slowly took a sip of his wine.
"What are you saying!" Baihe frowned.
