This voice was incredibly ill-timed, and the only one daring to speak in such a situation was naturally Chen Xiao.
Upon hearing Chen Xiao speak, Ye Gucheng immediately scoffed mockingly, "What a fucking idiot. When did the Nobel Prize ever have a performance award? You mean the Oscars, right? You're so ignorant!"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said coldly, "Calling a nobody beast 'Grandpa,' I wonder who the real idiot is! And a nobody beast dares to pretend to be an immortal. What's so strange about the Nobel Prize having a performance award?"
"Audacious!"
Ye Gucheng yelled, craning his neck.
"You kid must be jealous of my Ye family's immense fortune! Who are you calling a nobody beast? You've seen how powerful Grandfather Huang Xian is. Does he need to act?"
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood."
Chen Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile, "I'm talking about those with good acting skills, and it's not just him!"
Ye Gucheng asked, "Then who else are you referring to?"
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, staring at Master Huang, and said indifferently, "Master Huang, you're a true all-rounder, writing, directing, and acting yourself. However, you've been exposed, so stop acting!"
Old Master Ye was slightly stunned. He had felt something was amiss for a while, and after Chen Xiao's reminder, he suddenly understood everything.
Looking at Master Huang, a hint of panic was evident in his eyes, but he feigned composure and said pretentiously, "You brat, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all. What do you mean by writing, directing, and acting? Do you think Master Huang Xian and I are colluding to deceive people?"
"Since you still won't admit it, I won't spare you any face!"
Before Master Huang could finish speaking, Chen Xiao had already darted out. He moved as swift as the wind, and before Master Huang could react, Chen Xiao's hand had already reached into Master Huang's voluminous robe.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak—"
Accompanied by a sharp cry, the weasel that was there before was pulled out from Master Huang's robe by Chen Xiao.
In fact, Chen Xiao had long noticed the weasel hiding in Master Huang's sleeve. When it released the yellow smoke earlier, it had conveniently slipped inside.
Moreover, Master Huang had not stopped it, clearly indicating that this person and beast were in cahoots.
Most importantly, Chen Xiao could sense that the auras of both were identical. It was impossible to say they didn't know each other!
Since the two knew each other, everything that followed could be inferred as a performance, a setup targeting the Ye family.
The others in the room looked shocked at this scene.
Their first reaction was how audacious this Doctor Chen was. Wasn't this weasel already an immortal? Why wasn't he afraid at all?
Their second reaction was, why was this weasel inside Master Huang's robe?
Chen Xiao grabbed the weasel by the neck, letting it struggle and squeal in his hands.
"Aren't you already an immortal? Is this all you've got?"
Chen Xiao said disdainfully, then tightened his grip slightly. The weasel cried out in pain, and a mouthful of blood flowed from its lips.
Following Chen Xiao's action, Ye Baichi's body went limp, and he slumped directly onto the armchair, unconscious.
Master Huang, seeing how Chen Xiao treated the weasel, was extremely anxious. However, to avoid exposure, he did not show it and instead feigned surprise.
But Old Master Ye, having lived so long, had seen all sorts of scams. He could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive Old Master Ye!
Old Master Ye asked coldly, "Master Huang, what is going on?"
Master Huang pretended to be clueless, "Old Master Ye, I have no idea what's happening. I didn't know when it crawled into my clothes at all!"
"Nonsense. A thing that big, wouldn't you know if it crawled into your clothes?"
Old Master Ye snorted. He hated fools the most, and even more so when people treated him like a fool.
Master Huang desperately explained, "Old Master Ye, this is Grandfather Huang Xian. If he didn't want to be discovered by me, then naturally I wouldn't have found him..."
Chen Xiao burst into laughter.
"Huang, do you really think everyone is an idiot? Since you're still pretending, I won't be polite!"
"It must have taken you a lot of time to train such a human-like weasel with some understanding of magic. If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill it!"
"You dare, brat!"
Master Huang puffed out his beard and glared. Noticing everyone's gaze on him, he explained again, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. Master Huang Xian and I are not acquainted. It's just that if this ignorant brat offends Grandfather Huang Xian, everyone present will be retaliated against!"
Hearing this, everyone became fearful and urged Chen Xiao not to act rashly.
Ye Gucheng even shouted, "Chen Xiao, release Grandfather Huang Xian quickly. If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't drag everyone else down with you!"
"Even now, you keep calling him Grandpa. You people are truly beyond saving!"
Chen Xiao said with a mix of disappointment and anger, "Fine, today I'll show you what your Grandfather Huang Xian is truly made of!"
With that, Chen Xiao raised the weasel high up, and at the highest point, he violently threw it down!
"Brat, stop!"
Master Huang could no longer hold back and lunged forward, trying to snatch the weasel from Chen Xiao.
"Finally can't pretend anymore, can you!"
Chen Xiao sneered and kicked Master Huang flying.
Master Huang fell heavily to the ground. Chen Xiao then placed the weasel on the ground, and it squeaked and ran towards Master Huang, burrowing into his robe and hiding.
Seeing this, even the most foolish person could tell that the weasel was indeed raised by Master Huang!
As for the so-called Huang Xian, it was all made up by Master Huang to deceive people!
"Guards, arrest him!"
Old Master Ye roared, and the bodyguards beside him immediately stepped forward, grabbed Master Huang's arms, and apprehended him like a chicken.
Although Master Huang was a renowned master of spells, he was clearly not a dual cultivator. Once caught by the bodyguard, despite all his skills, he couldn't use them.
"Huang, do you have anything else to say! Fortunately, Doctor Chen was present today. Otherwise, I would have fallen into your trap!"
Old Master Ye stood with his hands behind his back, his voice booming, unleashing his imposing aura!
Master Huang sighed, "Fine, I've met a master today. My efforts have failed, and I concede defeat wholeheartedly!"
Master Huang's gaze was sinister as he looked at Chen Xiao, not appearing to concede defeat at all.
Chen Xiao paid no mind to the old man. He was merely a newly initiated cultivator. Chen Xiao could deal with such a person with just a little finger.
Just then, Master Huang suddenly changed his tone, "However, Old Man Ye, if you want your grandson to live, then release me quickly!"
