CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 430: MEETING SENIOR SISTER (3 UPDATES)

The battle between Lan Xin and Gong Yu has entered a ferocious stage, with neither party daring to underestimate the other, and even less daring to make the slightest mistake—a moment of contempt for one’s opponent at this time meant seeking one’s own demise.

The shock in the hearts of the onlookers can be well imagined—in their eyes, Gong Yu was once an almighty god!

Xiao Lan, Ju Yun, and the others also clicked their tongues secretly. Indeed, there are always people better than oneself, and heavens beyond the sky. They had long since held enormous admiration for Yang Xiao’s prowess. The sight of Gong Yu before them also evoked immense respect, with Xiao Lan gazing at him with eyes full of reverence.

Yang Xiao knew that continuing to fight like this would not do, as it would only lead to both sides being injured. Both were now in a difficult position, with neither daring to withdraw easily first, otherwise, the opponent’s attack would take advantage of the void and inflict harm upon oneself.

Yang Xiao shouted:

"Lan Xin, Gong Yu, listen to my command. When I count to 1, 2, 3—at 3, both of you retreat simultaneously. Alright, I’m going to start counting now, 1-2-3!"

As Yang Xiao’s "3" landed, Lan Xin and Gong Yu simultaneously withdrew their moves and retreated explosively backward together.

Gong Yu transformed back into his human form from the Beast Soul, while Lan Xin floated down from midair, like a fairy descending to earth, pure, beautiful, and untainted.

For a time, everyone was dumbstruck.

Feifei, standing behind Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao, sighed softly:

"The three of you are doomed. Lan Xin is just too formidable, alas!"

A sense of dread sank in the hearts of the trio, who remained silent.

A surge of pride instantly rose in Huang Wen’s heart—if Yang Xiao did not fancy her, she would never impose herself upon him.

Qin Yu and Deng Xiao thought to themselves:

"I won’t lose to her either!"

...

On the square, Gong Yu reholstered the Lightning Gun behind his back and nodded at Lan Xin, saying:

"I’m impressed. Miss Lan Xin’s martial arts are indeed extraordinary, far beyond my expectations. You’ve truly broadened my horizons; I, Gong Yu, am wholeheartedly convinced."

Gong Yu’s admiration was genuine. Even if he still had his left hand and could defeat Lan Xin, he would still be thoroughly convinced, for after all, Lan Xin was only at the Advanced Primordial Gene level—once she surpassed the Enhanced Gene Primary Level, he would no longer be a match for her.

Lan Xin smiled lightly and, with her hands clasped in a salute, said:

"You flatter me. In fact, had you been able to use your left hand, I would have lost to you long ago. Managing to hold on for so long was merely my good fortune."

Both gave each other sufficient respect.

Yang Xiao laughed heartily:

"You both don’t have to be modest. Each has their respective strengths. I wanted you to personally experience Ancient Martial Cultivation today to tell you that, even if your Genetic Evolution encounters a bottleneck, you can still improve your Combat Power through Ancient Martial Cultivation—there’s tremendous potential in this space."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yang Xiao swept a glance at Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao, and beckoned:

"The three of you, come here."

The trio did not show weakness either, walking over with their heads high and chests out, full of pride—it was their turf, and they couldn’t afford to lose their momentum!

All three were in great shape. Huang Wen’s appearance, after undergoing changes, had also become increasingly beautiful, with an exceptional aura, not to mention Qin Yu and Deng Xiao.

Looking at the three of them, Lan Xin also revealed a look of appreciation.

Xue Mei quietly said to Xiao Lan:

"These three girls are likely to be our elder sister’s rivals in love."

Xiao Lan turned her head and glared at her, laughing:

"When has our Sister Lan Xin ever been afraid of anyone?"

....

Yang Xiao, looking at the three proud princesses, said with a smile:

"Do the three of you still remember the bet you made with me just now?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of Huang Wen and the others turned red with embarrassment. To call Lan Xin ’elder sister’ in front of so many people—how embarrassing would that be?

With a quick reaction, Qin Yu giggled and said:

"Fine, is it just calling Lan Xin a sister? What’s the big deal? Hello, Sister Lan Xin, your younger sister here pays her respects."

After saying that, Qin Yu gave a slight bow towards Lan Xin, hands clasped at her waist.

Lan Xin, flustered, quickly came over and grabbed Qin Yu’s hands, saying:

"Hey, what are you doing? You’re going to kill me with kindness. Yang Xiao, are you serious?"

Yang Xiao gave a smile but remained silent, looking at Huang Wen and Deng Xiao with internal disdain, thinking, this heartbreaker, having found a new love and forgetting the old flame, to think we used to be so fond of you.

The two also imitated Qin Yu, giving a slight bow and calling out, "Sister Lan Xin."

This made Lan Xin stamp her feet in frustration; she certainly didn’t want to make enemies upon her arrival in Nanmu City, especially not with Yang Xiao’s three intimate female friends.

The people around were also stunned by this sudden change.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao stared at Yang Xiao with glares sharp as knives, wishing they could rip open his chest to see if this heartbreaker’s heart was black.

As if Yang Xiao saw nothing, he glanced at the onlookers and announced loudly:

"There’s something I didn’t have time to tell everyone, now that you’re all here, I’ll make a public announcement, I, Yang Xiao,"

The entire place fell silent, not knowing what trick Yang Xiao was up to, even Huang Wen and the others forgot their grievances, staring blankly.

Lan Xin and the others were the same.

"I, Yang Xiao, have been taken in by the Shenming Mountain Sect a month ago, and now I am a junior brother of the Shenming Mountain Sect."

Having said that, Yang Xiao stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Lan Xin and bowed, formally shouting:

"Greetings, Senior Sister Lan Xin!"

Boom!

Everyone’s heads buzzed, all feeling a short circuit in their brains, blanking out.

Yang Xiao had actually joined the Shenming Mountain Sect, and even claimed to be a junior brother?

What kind of divine move was this?

Everyone looked at Yang Xiao, their eyes wide in disbelief, even Lan Xin stood there stunned, not anticipating Yang Xiao to perform such a formal act of respect before everyone.

Yang Xiao’s address of senior sister to Lan Xin instantly reshaped everyone’s image of Lan Xin and the others.

Originally thinking that Yang Xiao was smitten with their pretty faces and figures, flamboyantly bringing them back, no one expected that what Yang Xiao really admired was their talent, and seemingly not bringing them back just for a whirlwind romance.

As for Lan Xin, her image also instantly transformed from that of a vase to a powerful and respected senior sister, and she felt a sense of respect for Yang Xiao, and even more admiration.

Lan Xin smiled faintly, looked at Yang Xiao, and teased:

"You suddenly treat me with such respect in front of everyone, you must have some ulterior motive, right?"

"Hehe, senior sister is indeed as intelligent as ice and snow, nothing can be hidden from you."

"Alright, stop flattering me, let me say it for you, are you trying to have me accept Huang Wen and the others into the Shenming Mountain Sect?"

"Senior sister is really smart!"

Yang Xiao laughed, then turned his head and winked at the perplexed Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao, saying:

"Froze up!"

Huang Wen and the others, as if waking from a dream, finally understood the deeper meaning behind Yang Xiao’s recent wager - this heartbreaker, he had such a play hidden up his sleeve!

Everyone had witnessed the power of ancient martial arts from Lan Xin, Xiaolan and the others. With Huang Wen and the others joining the Shenming Mountain Sect with their Enhanced Gene cultivation, practicing ancient martial arts would naturally increase their combat power dramatically.

The three of them felt that happiness came too suddenly. They hesitated for a moment, then ran towards Lan Xin together, surrounding her and calling out:

"Greetings, Senior Sister!"

Lan Xin: "..."

And then, the scene spiraled out of control, Zhao Gang, Zhou Qiang, Long Yongjun, Xiao Zhe, Xia Luo and others ran over, shouting loudly:

"Greetings, Senior Sister Lan Xin!"

Lan Xin: "@#￥%"
