I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1054 - 1055: Smashing with Money

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1055: Smashing with Money

“How come I hear a dog barking in broad daylight?”

“If you can speak human language, we might converse, but if you only know how to bark, I shall not keep you company.”

Li Xiaobai turned his head and spoke indifferently.

The person who had spoken was a sharp-faced young man with sunken eyes and an aura severely lacking in vitality, emitting a sense of defeat. At this moment, with a mocking smile on his lips, he stared at Li Xiaobai, clearly someone who had conflicts with Han Buzhu on regular days.

“Bastard, a mongrel born of a concubine dares to talk back to me? Could it be you’ve wandered around and come back feeling you’ve become something?”

“In front of the Second Young Master of the Han Family, you are but an ant, one I can easily crush!”

The sharp-faced young man shouted fiercely.

“If I am an ant in front of the Second Young Master of the Han Family, then what am I in front of you? Within the Icy Frost Sect, what is your status?”

Li Xiaobai stood with his hands clasped behind his back, scanning the person before him.

“I am Han Xing, the Attendant Student of the Second Young Master of the Han Family, a direct lineage disciple of the legitimate wife, within the Icy Frost Sect, my status only slightly less than that of the few young masters!”

Han Xing’s demeanor was haughty, looking down his nose at others, and although his cultivation level was mediocre, his status was not to be taken lightly. Within the Icy Frost Sect, he strutted around with impunity, sheltered by his relationship with the Second Young Master of the Han Family; no one dared to lay a hand on him.

Many disciples gathered around to watch the spectacle, all looking at Li Xiaobai and Han Xing, their eyes filled with surprise.

“Young Master Three is back, facing off against the legitimate wife’s lineage again!”

“He must not know that during these days he’s been away, the Sect Leader has confirmed the list, arranging for the eldest and second young masters to go to Ice Dragon Island for the martial contest to win a bride!”

“It’s good that he’s back, so he doesn’t embarrass himself on Ice Dragon Island, bringing shame to the sect. After all, the spectacle of brothers fighting might be acceptable within the sect, but it would be quite embarrassing if it happened in front of outsiders.”

“Speaking of which, the two young masters of the legitimate wife’s lineage haven’t left yet. If they learn that Young Master Three has returned after gallivanting about, I wonder what their reaction will be?”

The disciples whispered among themselves, pointing and making various comments about Li Xiaobai.

Normally, all three young masters behaved arrogantly and aggressively oppressed the Sect Disciples. However, Young Master Three was the least favored among them, being targeted by the eldest and second young masters. As a result, his reputation within the sect had plummeted. Perhaps they would not show it openly, but behind his back, he had become the laughing stock of the sect.

Seeing Han Xing, the Attendant Student, openly provoke Young Master Three, they naturally did not want to miss out on this spectacle.

“Who do I have here? It turns out to be the Second Brother’s Attendant Student. You dare to bark in front of me, a young master of the Han Family?”

“Kneel down, kowtow, apologize, and your life may be spared.”

Li Xiaobai spoke with his hands behind his back, his expression cool.

“How dare a mongrel ask me to kneel? My master is the Second Young Master of the Han Family! You dare!”

Han Xing’s face twisted fiercely.

“So what if he is? My father is the current Sect Leader of the Icy Frost Sect, who are you to raise your voice at me? I’ll give you a chance, kneel and submit, and you can escape death!”

Li Xiaobai spoke slowly, not wanting to personally take action within the sect. Although Han Buzhu possessed the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his Sin Value was only in the hundred thousands, and exposing his Sin Value of over ten million would surely alert the higher echelons of the sect.

Using power to pressure the other into submission was undoubtedly the best choice.

“You dare to insult me? Have you considered the consequences?”

“A mongrel born of a concubine, an orphan who has a mother but was never raised by one, how dare you compare yourself to my master? The word ‘father’ is an insult to the Sect Leader when it comes from your mouth!”

“Who would have thought that after a trip away, you’d come back so bold. I heard you are delusional enough to want to go to Ice Dragon Island and make a fool of yourself. My masters will not let you off easily.”

Han Xing’s gaze was icy. With merely the cultivation level of an Earth Immortal Realm, he truly did not dare to do anything to Li Xiaobai. He only dared to belittle and oppress him verbally. If it had been like before, this young master didn’t seem to have such strong will—toward their lineage’s cultivators, he was always angry but didn’t dare to speak up. How come he seemed like a completely different person today? Could it be that he had gained some fortunate opportunity outside, and thus felt that he could stand up for himself?

This matter was a bit peculiar; he still had to report it to the Second Young Master.

“Young Master, there must be Icy Frost Sect elders and high-ranking members watching in secret. It’s okay to have minor skirmishes, but we must not start a major conflict.”

Uncle Huo discreetly reminded him from the side. It was naturally impossible for the sect to allow its disciples to fight and kill at will. Such a Great Sect would always have elders accompanying in the shadows. They encouraged daily verbal sparring and mutual competition among their disciples, but if someone attempted to use lethal moves, they would step in to stop it right away.

If Li Xiaobai were targeted and continuously troubled, the chances of him being exposed would also be significantly higher.

After spending some time together, he had come to understand Li Xiaobai’s style rather well. To sum it up in four words: Defying Heaven and Earth!

Therefore, on such a critical juncture, it was necessary to offer some reminders. After all, if the other party were exposed, the Huo Family would also suffer the consequences. Who could have expected that within the enemy’s sect, Young Master Li’s behavior would remain unrestrained and domineering, not knowing how to quietly accumulate wealth at all!

“Uncle Huo, don’t worry, I have my own sense of measure,” Li Xiaobai said with a slight nod, casually tossing a Storage Bag onto the ground.

“Gentlemen, there are fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Stones in here. Whoever suppresses this man for me, these Immortal Stones are theirs.”

Thud!

The heavy Storage Bag fell to the ground, lying quietly before all the disciples, with a dull sound—that of wealth!

The surrounding disciples were somewhat stunned. Friction within the sect was nothing strange, but this was their first time encountering such a scene—instead of taking action himself, he was spending money to have other disciples do it. What was this maneuver?

For a moment, everyone was somewhat frozen in place, and the atmosphere in the arena became silent.

Even Han Xing’s expression turned somewhat blank; he didn’t understand what this Third Young Master was trying to sell with his gourd. Fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Stones might not be much for the talented ones, but for the ordinary Sect Disciples, it was an absolute fortune. Many would hustle for half a year and not be able to save up that many Immortal Stones!

“What’s the matter, no one’s taking action?”

“Are the Immortal Stones not enough?”

“This is easy to solve, I’ll add another fifty thousand. Whoever plants him headfirst into the ground, all these are theirs.”

Li Xiaobai looked at the silent disciples around him, calmly reaching out for another bag of top-grade Immortal Stones and dropping it onto the ground with another dull sound—still the sound of wealth!

“One… one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones!”

“Third Young Master is offering one hundred thousand just to beat up Han Xing?”

“Is this the world of our young master? Too insane!”

Upon witnessing this scene, the disciples were thoroughly shocked. Although the Third Young Master had also been flamboyant and overbearing before, he had never acted like this. Did he have too much money to spend?

One hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones just thrown onto the ground? Didn’t it hurt?

“What are you trying to do? Inciting Sect Disciples to fight within is a grave crime; even if you are a young master of the Icy Frost Sect, you cannot bear this sin!”

Seeing the increasingly aggressive looks in the eyes of the surrounding disciples, a trace of panic flashed across Han Xing’s face.

“I’m teaching you a lesson. To talk tough, you need the strength to back it up. I’ve got plenty of money and could have you killed in minutes, but I won’t. From now on, I’ll have someone beat you up every day, just for fun!”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, with his hands behind his back.

Han Xing wanted to say something more, but before he could, a burly man suddenly stepped out from the crowd and said in a deep voice:

“Sect Disciples sparring with each other is perfectly normal. An insignificant servant dare to challenge our young master; it’s simply bringing disaster upon oneself. Today, I, Han Meng, will teach you a lesson on behalf of our young master, you who don’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!”

“Die for me!”
