Chapter 961: Weird Attitude
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
They were confused, but neither of them dared to say anything. [Is this Great Elder Xuan Bing going to just stand here?] No matter what, they could only stand there with her. Any reckless moves could get themselves killed!
Han Bingxue took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart. He stepped ahead and said, "Please forgive us, lady. I am Han Bingxue. We didn't know you would come, so we didn't greet you. However, I don't understand. Why are you standing in our way?"
Even if he had to face Wu Fa, the best cultivator in the realm, he would still look cold and indifferent, not to mention Xuan Bing. In fact, he was ready to have a tough fight and die for it.
[Brother Ye is too weak. He could barely survive the energy effect from her attack. I am the only one who could withstand it!]
[If Xuan Bing starts the fight, I will have to give my life to fight for Brother Ye's survival!]
He was fully alerted. After he asked the question, Xuan Bing finally spoke in the dark fog.
However, when she spoke, she sounded like she was trembling, but then she pretended to be cold and fierce.
"Hmm… Han Bingxue? You are Han Bingxue?" Xuan Bing sounded indifferent and she seemed teasing him. "It is said that the Frost Sword Han Bingxue is one of the most beautiful men in the realm. Why do you look like this? Isn't it a pain in the sight?"
That hurt. That was Han Bingxue's weak point at the moment. He never thought that Xuan Bing would tease him like this. She was such a great figure after all. His face turned pale and he said, "I got scratched by a cat. So what?"
"By a cat? All the bruise on the face…" In the dark fog, Xuan Bing said, with her voice sounding like she was trying not to laugh. "There is a story in the Qing-Yun Realm. There was an official. He was good at both martial art and literature, a handsome man with great talent. There was barely any flaws on him. Only thing that might be his shortage was that he feared his wife… Someday, his face got scratched by his wife. The next day, his colleague asked, "What's wrong with your face?' 'Scratched by a cat…' Answered the official."
Xuan Bing told the story about an official, but in fact, she was teasing Han Bingxue.
What she wanted to say was 'You got scratched by your wife! Henpeck!'
Han Bingxue's face turned to the color of pig liver. He furiously said, "Good story! Brilliant! Elder Xuan Bing! I never knew the great Xuan Bing, who could shock the entire realm, is actually an amusing person! Impressive…"
He was teased by a lady, so he couldn't stay sober because of the anger. He regretted just after he said the words. That was Xuan Bing, the great Xuan Bing he was talking to. She teased him. That meant she was being kind. At least she didn't show any hostility. However, what Han Bingxue said was satirical. He was asking for death!
However, Xuan Bing actually just smiled. She sounded a bit hoarse though. She said, "Han Bingxue, this young man who stands beside you… he…"
She didn't know what to say after that.
Her voice sounded in the fog. Ye Xiao heard it and felt confused.
[I absolutely never heard her voice.]
[But… Why do I have a familiar feeling of her?]
[Why?]
[This is impossible!]
Ye Xiao was sure he had never seen this Lady Devil of the realm ever!
Not even once!
However, he felt familiar with her. That was weird.
"This is my brother!" Han Bingxue humphed, "What's the matter?"
Xuan Bing's voice sounded again from the dark fog. She said blandly, "Oh, your brother…"
It seemed she was relieved like she could finally stop worrying.
Then she stopped talking.
Han Bingxue was confused. [What's wrong with her? What does that mean? Does she even know what she was talking about? She laughed at me, saying that I am a henpeck! Now she asked about Brother Ye and felt relieved after she got the answer. Wait. Does she like me? And she thought Brother Ye and I are… couple?]
[That's world-shaking!]
Han Bingxue was incredibly narcissistic. That was for sure.
Ye Xiao was different. He was just confused about Xuan Bing's attitude. So he asked, "Great Elder, have we met?"
Xuan Bing stayed silent for a while and then blandly said, "No."
Then it was coldly silent for a while!
Ye Xiao didn't know what to say next. Han Bingxue was still having his incredibly narcissistic thoughts. Xuan Bing was staring at one man, the man who didn't notice at all!
The three of them just stood there. Han Bingxue felt it too weird to stay so quiet. [What's wrong with Xuan Bing? Why is she… The attitude… Isn't it… Unbelievable!]
Ye Xiao was confused too. [What's going on?]
Xuan Bing didn't leave, but she didn't seem like staying. She was quite overwhelming, but also cold and indifferent. It seemed she wanted to fight, but she didn't move…
What did she want?
"Han Bingxue, where are you heading?" After a long silence, Xuan Bing asked a question that nobody thought she would ask.
Han Bingxue was surprised. [Why would she care about where we are heading? And she just asked me?] He said, "We are going to Town of Ye."
"Town of Ye?" Xuan Bing was confused, "Town of Ye of the Oracle District in the north?"
It was too late for Han Bingxue to change his answer. He said, "That's… right… That's it. We are going to… to find… a medical material. Hmm. That's it."
That was obviously a lie.
Ye Xiao rolled up his eyes. [Bastard. You don't even know how to lie.]
[That's obviously made up. Xuan Bing is going to be mad. Can't you just refuse to tell her anything? Why did you lie?]
