The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 483: Upset Ling Wuxie

Upset Ling Wuxie . . .

Wan-Er and Xiu-Er found themselves momentarily at a loss for words. They contemplated distancing themselves from this man, Cha Eun Xiao, emphasizing that they didn't know him all that well. But the urgency of the moment overrode such considerations, and they opted for a slight bow as they addressed him, "Wan of the Clouds/Xiu of the Heavens, with regards. It has been a while. Monarch, you are as elegant as ever. Greetings."

Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback by their presence and replied, "Ladies, no need to be overly polite. Please, come inside. Brother Ling, please."

In an instant, he surmised that these three were not here to stir up trouble. They had come seeking his assistance this time. The polite exchange between Wan-Er and Xiu-Er reaffirmed Cha Eun Xiao's intuition, allowing him to set aside his apprehension and adopt a casual and polite demeanor.

The men from the five clans were utterly flabbergasted. They were at a loss for words. Some even sat on the floor with bewildered expressions.

The scene was beyond belief.

It defied all expectations.

Wan of the Clouds and Xiu of the Heavens, two women who held immense influence over the world, were offering such a polite greeting to Feng Monarch? They even sounded humbler than expected!

The whole situation was mind-boggling!

Cha Eun Xiao then instructed, "Wan Zhenghao, once you've recovered from your ordeal, please escort our friends from the five clans to your room. The three of us have important matters to discuss."

His words were gentle but carried the weight of a directive, conveying that it was time for the lesser figures to withdraw.

The men from the five clans felt no humiliation in this directive. They regarded it as entirely appropriate.

Being referred to as "small figures" in the presence of Wan of the Clouds and Xiu of the Heavens was an honor. They understood that when individuals of this caliber held a conversation, it was best not to intervene. The mere utterance of a single word from them could be overwhelming.

At that moment, they truly grasped the immense gulf between them and Feng Monarch.

Wan of the Clouds and Xiu of the Heavens greeted him humbly, solidifying their understanding of Cha Eun Xiao's prestige. This realization only reinforced their certainty that the House of the Chaotic Storms would support Ling-Bao Hall at the auction.

As they exited the yard, their hearts still raced, and they questioned the reality of the situation.

Cha Eun Xiao led the three guests to his room, noting a peculiar detail.

Lord Ling, whoever he was, seemed to possess a remarkable ability. His mere presence had an immediate and transformative effect on his surroundings. As he moved through the area, everything became immaculate, surpassing the cleanliness of a brand-new house. There was nothing cleaner than the space touched by Lord Ling.

Cha Eun Xiao took out some tea leaves, and even as he held them, he noticed the tiny specks of dirt on the leaves disappearing. Lord Ling didn't appear to make any overt movements, at least not visibly.

Cha Eun Xiao couldn't help but be awestruck by Lord Ling's abilities.

"This man is truly extraordinary," he mused to himself. Lord Ling's cultivation prowess was undeniable, but his meticulousness about cleanliness was perplexing. Cha Eun Xiao both praised and complained about it.

However, he knew just how challenging it was to maintain this level of cleanliness without making a sound. Even in his previous life as Xiao Monarch, he couldn't achieve such a feat.

"I presume you three have something important to discuss, given that you came together," Cha Eun Xiao remarked as he prepared the tea.

He had sent the maids away from Ling-Bao Hall to avoid them getting caught up in the ongoing chaos. Only the assassins remained, but Cha Eun Xiao couldn't ask one of them to serve the guests. While it wouldn't have caused any discomfort to the three guests, it would have made it difficult for the assassins to advance in their cultivation in the future.

Hence, Cha Eun Xiao had to handle the task himself.

Out of the countless individuals in the universe, there were no more than five for whom Cha Eun Xiao had personally prepared tea, including these three guests.

"I'm doing fine. I just came to enjoy a fantastic spectacle here, and perhaps make a new friend," Ling Wuxie grinned. He reclined in his chair and continued, "The two ladies, on the other hand, have more pressing matters to discuss."

Cha Eun Xiao observed something unusual this time. When Lord Ling sat in the chair, all the dirt on the chair vanished. Despite his keen eyes, Cha Eun Xiao couldn't discern where the dirt had gone.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in amazement.

"He's unbelievably powerful. The universe truly knows no bounds. Knowledge is infinite," Cha Eun Xiao thought to himself.

Ling Wuxie, on the other hand, was a tad disappointed. He had assumed that Feng Zhiling might not be able to resolve the perilous situation earlier.

His plan had been to come to Feng Monarch's aid when he was in danger, allowing him to save the day and impress Feng Monarch with his martial prowess. He had hoped this would make him more valuable to Feng Monarch.

However, much to his surprise, from the moment he arrived, he had simply watched the events unfold without the opportunity to showcase his skills. Wave after wave of challenges had been resolved by Feng Zhiling himself. This left Lord Ling with no chance to demonstrate his abilities.

Feng Monarch had managed everything on his own.

Lord Ling had aspired to be the savior this time, but the reality left him with no chance to shine and make Feng Monarch owe him a favor. This was a source of frustration for him.
