"Didn't I tell you? We Azure Dragon have the complete Divine Farmer's Art," Heart Moon Fox said somewhat puzzledly.

"..."

Xiaoyao wanted to beat someone up, but considering he couldn't win, he let it go.

He had previously gone through great hardships to collect information about the continuation of the Divine Farmer's Art, then deduced his current version through other methods. He never expected Heart Moon Fox to have a complete copy. If that was the case, he could have just asked her directly instead of going through all that trouble.

He believed Heart Moon Fox would give Xiaoyao the complete Divine Farmer's Art. Even if Xiaoyao had no relationship with her, she wouldn't care, because situations where someone could cultivate the Divine Farmer's Art to the point of needing the complete version were too rare. In these past few thousand years, it seemed only Xiaoyao had done it.

Actually, the complete version of the Divine Farmer's Art wasn't very rare. Everyone had it before, but later no one cultivated to that level, so they gradually lost the later parts.

"Xiaoyao, if that's the case, then your current strength is quite good," Nangong Suxin looked at Xiaoyao with a smile in her eyes, though no one knew what she meant by this.

"So-so. I think it's still better for me to support you from behind. This way I can guarantee your safety. If I go fight others, it's easy to get distracted and I can't take care of you," Xiaoyao immediately said, explaining why he wouldn't take action himself, seeming to think Nangong Suxin's question was about this.

...

...

"Why are you explaining? I wasn't talking about that. I just wanted to say that if I want to fight you in the future, you can handle it now," Nangong Suxin said with a smile.

"Well, I'm not bragging, but you couldn't hit me before, and now you can't beat me," Xiaoyao said very seriously.

"Want to try?" Nangong Suxin continued smiling.

"Let's not. You should hurry up and break through. After the Young Miss breaks through, you'll be waiting for her to deal with you," Xiaoyao refused. He was a peace-loving person who never fought—that wasn't his style.

Xiaoyao's words immediately deflated Nangong Suxin. Her face quickly fell, looking like she wanted to cry.

"You talk too much. Don't remind me about this, okay? No, I'm going into seclusion to cultivate. Don't let her see me," Nangong Suxin made a decision, though this decision was quickly shattered by one of Xiaoyao's sentences.

"If that's the case, then let Third Miss help you send word to your family and friends. You stay here and cultivate properly while we go back. We'll come find you in a few years," Xiaoyao thought and said.

"Well, I was just joking earlier. If I get dealt with, so be it. At most I'll act like a grandson," Nangong Suxin helplessly shrugged.

At this moment, Xiaoyao noticed someone seemed to want to leave. Originally, he should have negotiated with Nangong Third Miss like the other sects. He was leaving only because he was a bit afraid.

"Situ Hao, you should stay. Our business isn't finished yet," Xiaoyao said calmly.

The person trying to leave was Situ Hao. Although he wasn't worried about Heart Moon Fox interfering in Fuyun Sect affairs, he suddenly remembered something—the grudge between him and Luo Yuntian. The person he had framed was Xiaoyao's mother. Would Xiaoyao let him go like this?

If he wouldn't let him go, then he had no way to cope. Now probably no one would help him. Xiaoyao and Guxing could take care of him, plus with Heart Moon Fox on the side, his situation was self-evident.

"I wonder what you wish to discuss?" Situ Hao said with a smile, though it was somewhat forced.

"I want your life," Xiaoyao said.

"You're joking..." Situ Hao continued smiling, still as forced as before.

"Do I look like I'm joking? Don't worry, I'll let you die with dignity. I'll duel you," Xiaoyao looked at Situ Hao and said.

"Really?" Situ Hao looked at Xiaoyao. Although he didn't know what offensive capabilities Xiaoyao had now, he was still quite confident he could defeat Xiaoyao, as long as it was one-on-one.

"Xiaoyao, don't act recklessly. Leave this matter to Guxing," Nangong Suxin immediately said. She knew Xiaoyao generally didn't joke around—if he said it, he was confident. But this confidence might also be risky confidence, and she didn't want Xiaoyao to take risks.

Guxing? Her abilities were already enough to duel with Situ Hao, and with Xiaoyao as backup, even injury wouldn't be a problem.

"Nangong Suxin, you should trust him. It'll be fine," Heart Moon Fox said calmly. "That what's-his-name, Situ Hao, you can do whatever you want, but you cannot harm his life, or I'll take yours."

"..." Situ Hao fell silent. What kind of situation was this? Although everyone understood this without saying it, stating it so directly still felt very strange.

This was a duel—if I can't harm his life, what kind of duel is this?

"Then can he also not harm my life?" Situ Hao didn't object, just asked following the logic.

"Of course he can. He originally wants your life anyway," Heart Moon Fox said calmly, very naturally, as if talking about something very ordinary.

"This seems unfair," Situ Hao said weakly. "I believe he himself wouldn't agree to this."

"Who says I don't agree? That's exactly right—you can't kill me, but I'm allowed to kill you!" Xiaoyao said with a smile, also very naturally, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Shameless!

Everyone had another evaluation of Xiaoyao, and precisely because of this evaluation, those people even more didn't want to be enemies with Xiaoyao, because shameless enemies were very frightening.

"In that case, I might as well commit suicide rather than accept this humiliation," Situ Hao said righteously, his face full of integrity.

"If that's the case, then go ahead and commit suicide," Xiaoyao said with a smile. "I'm too lazy to lift a finger!"

Did you think Xiaoyao really wanted to personally kill someone? Of course not. He was just finding an excuse to kill the other party. If Situ Hao committed suicide, he would definitely support it with both hands.

"You..." Situ Hao felt like he had swallowed a fly, immediately freezing. He had mentioned suicide just as a bargaining idea, thinking that if Xiaoyao made him commit suicide, it would be very undignified. He never expected Xiaoyao to ignore the dignity issue entirely.

"Yuntian, your son seems quite shameless," Yun Qingyi said with a smile at this moment.

"Seems like it..."

"Compared to you, he's much more cunning. I like it, but I like you more..."

"..."

Situ Hao's expression changed repeatedly, and finally he made a decision, saying: "I'll duel you!!" Since it's death either way, might as well kill you and have you accompany me in death.

"Come on!"

Xiaoyao said calmly, simultaneously drawing what looked like a decorative sword from his waist. Once this sword appeared, everyone understood it was definitely not a decoration—the sharp cold light made that clear.

"Everyone step back, it wouldn't be good if you got hurt," Situ Hao drew his blade and said coldly. He was telling people to leave just to isolate Xiaoyao and prevent anyone from coming to his rescue.

"Everyone step back!"

While Guxing and the others were hesitating, Xiaoyao spoke up, making them all step back. This delighted Situ Hao—you're the one seeking death, so don't blame me for being impolite.

Situ Hao gripped his blade with both hands, releasing a powerful aura outward. Around him, even the dust scattered rapidly in all directions.

"This is bad. This Situ Hao actually has such strength—even I can't compare. Qingyi, your son is in great danger..." Yun Kaitai said at this moment.

Why did he say Qingyi's son instead of Yuntian's son? This seemed to indicate he acknowledged Xiaoyao's existence, reminding his daughter to also treat Xiaoyao as a son.

Of course, this was largely due to Heart Moon Fox's relationship—a pragmatic change.

"Yuntian..." Yun Qingyi was somewhat worried. Although she wouldn't go so far as to treat Xiaoyao as a son, she at least considered him an important junior. Most importantly, Xiaoyao was someone important to Luo Yuntian—love me, love my dog.

She was somewhat different now from before. At the same time, this wasn't a woman after all—these were two different concepts. Some people could accept their husband's illegitimate children but absolutely couldn't accept their husband's lover.

"Xiaoyao should be fine. He was able to withstand Qi Bupo's palm strike back then, and Situ Hao is far inferior to Qi Bupo's strength," Luo Yuntian shook his head. These words might just be self-comfort, but they were also fact.

Even if Xiaoyao couldn't defeat Situ Hao, even if he got injured, he absolutely wouldn't die!

"Furious Roar of the Vast Sea!"

Situ Hao's momentum climbed to its peak, then he released a blade technique that was almost like giant waves, surging toward Xiaoyao. In this situation, unless Xiaoyao had strength greater than Situ Hao's, he should retreat.

With Xiaoyao's kind of movement technique, wanting to retreat wasn't impossible—he could completely manage it. But this required Xiaoyao to move immediately. At this moment, he stood completely motionless, missing the chance to dodge and being forced to face the attack head-on.

Could Xiaoyao face it head-on?

Yes, and in a way that shocked everyone!

"Supreme Sword Arts!"

Xiaoyao thrust out one sword, and this sword seemed to make the entire space pause, as if the whole world had lost its proper colors...

Everyone stared at this sword with an indescribable feeling. They watched this sword "slowly" pierce into Situ Hao's technique, then "slowly" pierce into Situ Hao's heart.

"What sword technique is this?" Situ Hao looked at the sword in his chest, asking in a daze. He seemed unable to believe he had been defeated so simply—with just one sword.
