Chapter 327: Sparring
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The atmosphere in the hall of the Song Family was extremely tense.
At this moment, Gu Xi’s expression was extremely unsightly. He had never expected that he would be treated like this by the Song Family.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have saved her in the first place!
However, thinking back, the people who had made things difficult for him were only from the Song Family and had nothing to do with Song Qingluan.
Perhaps even if he had to do it all over again, he would still choose to save Song Qingluan.
Not far behind, Song Qingluan’s expression was also somewhat angry. She wanted to argue with her father, but was fiercely stopped by his eyes.
Although she was the eldest daughter of the Song Family, she was unable to cultivate since she was young, and she did not have the slightest talent in cultivating spirit arrays. Due to this, she had no rights in the entire Song Family, even if she was the daughter of the Song Family head. All she had was a title.
If it was not for her outstanding looks, she probably would have been abandoned long ago.
Song Qingluan looked at the green-clothed man in front of her with a worried expression, praying in her heart that the latter would be safe and sound.
Although the two of them had only known each other for less than half a day, Gu Xi was, after all, her savior. If something were to happen to her here, what would it be?
At the same time, the few old men blocking the entrance had faint spiritual power surging around their bodies. It was obvious that they were planning to teach Gu Xi a lesson.
Gu Xi did not panic at all when fighting against the crowd alone. His handsome face was extremely calm, as if he did not acknowledge them at all.
Under his perception, the cultivation of the few old men in front of him was not outstanding. However, he was clear that when facing a spirit array master, one could not judge their true fighting strength based on their cultivation. However, even though that was the case, the current Gu Xi was far superior to the few people in front of him in terms of both cultivation and spirit array.
“All of you, stop.”
Seeing that both sides were about to make a move, the voice of the middle-aged man suddenly sounded.
The few Song Family’s consecrators looked at the man sitting at the head seat with a puzzled expression. The surging spirit energy around their bodies also gradually dissipated.
“You few old fellows are prepared to attack a junior. If this is spread out, won’t it make people laugh until their teeth fall out?”
The middle-aged man slowly stood up. His gaze landed on Gu Xi as he chuckled, he continued, “Moreover, this is not a good place for sparring. Bring him to the training grounds and let the younger generation of the clan enter the arena. It will also be a good opportunity for them to gain some experience.”
Hearing this, a few of the consecrators were delighted and could not help but let out a cold smile.
On the other hand, Gu Xi’s expression was still extremely gloomy.
This was clearly showing that he was easy to bully?
However, if you want to bully others, you are probably looking for the wrong person.
The corners of Gu Xi’s mouth lifted slightly and an idea suddenly appeared in his heart.
Since the Song Family is preparing to let the juniors of the clan go on stage, then I will crush the confidence of the juniors of your generation on the training field!
If even the blood of the new generation has lost confidence in practicing the spirit array, then the Song Family is not far from destruction.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi’s originally gloomy face suddenly changed and was filled with a smile.
However, this seemingly normal smile hid a thick conspiracy in the depths of it.
“I’ve long heard that the Song Family is a spirit array aristocratic family. It’s my honor to have the opportunity to fight with the younger generation of the Song Family.”
Gu Xi turned around and cupped his hands towards the head of the Song Family. He smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, it would be best for the head of the Song Family to make such a suggestion.”
Seeing Gu Xi’s attitude change 180 degrees in an instant, everyone present was stunned.
“Has this Kid been scared silly?”
“I think he most likely didn’t run away. Otherwise, how would he have the courage to spar with our Song Family in spirit array?”
The two Song Family members discussed softly, but Gu Xi, who was not far away, heard them.
“Is your Song Family a mule or a horse? Bring them out for a stroll today.” Gu Xi muttered to himself.
Then, he turned around and looked at the few old men who were still blocking the door. “Lead the way.”
The few old men did not hesitate at all. They turned around and walked in the direction of the training field.
Gu Xi strolled casually after them. Along the way, he looked left and right from time to time, admiring the scenery of the Song Family.
Not far behind him, the members of the Song Family who had been in the hall earlier also followed behind. It was obvious that they all wanted to watch the upcoming competition.
Even though they were certain that Gu Xi would lose completely, it was a waste not to watch such a good show.
“Young Master Gu.”
A slender hand suddenly patted Gu Xi’s shoulder. Gu Xi turned around and saw that Song Qingluan had caught up. She looked left and right and saw that her father was not there, then, she said apologetically, “I’m really sorry. You were the one who saved me, yet you were treated like this…”
Gu Xi smiled indifferently and did not reply.
Seeing this, Song Qingluan was even more certain that Gu Xi was unhappy. She quickly continued, “Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way to make them stop. After this matter is over, I still have a few high-level spirit arrays. At that time, Young Master Gu can choose two to take away.”
Hearing this, Gu Xi thought to himself, ‘This girl knows how to handle things!’
Compared to the other members of the Song Family, they were simply on a different level!
“Since Miss Song has already said so, then I’ll try my best to be gentler when I take action later, so that your Song Family members won’t suffer too much.”
Gu Xi grinned, already having a plan in mind.
After saying this, he quickened his pace and walked towards the training field.
On the other hand, Song Qingluan was completely stunned on the spot and did not know what to do for a moment.
“Does this guy really think that he is a match for those people in the family?”
After a moment, as she watched Gu Xi’s figure gradually disappear into the distance, Song Qingluan muttered somewhat helplessly.
Although she could not be considered to be familiar with those disciples in the clan, she still had a certain level of understanding of their strength.
After all, the Song Family was a spirit array clan. The spirit array level of the disciples of the clan was on a completely different level compared to the cultivators outside.
Like the other members of the Song Family, even Song Qingluan did not think that Gu Xi would win in this sparring match.
If that was really the case, their Song Family might as well not call themselves a spirit array clan. It was quite embarrassing.
Very soon, under the lead of a few Song Family consecrators, Gu Xi successfully arrived at the training field.
As it was a place for sparring with spirit arrays, the training field was much larger than the average training field. A ring of stairs was built around the several-zhang-high ring, at this moment, there were already quite a number of Song Family disciples waiting there.
Obviously, they had already received the news of the sparring. After all, they were all young people and were quite interested in these things.
