Taking Yao Lei with him, Lu Xuan confidently headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Closely following behind Lu Xuan, Yao Lei was still thinking about what Lu Xuan had just said. Enchanted scrolls, successfully inscribed? Could it really be that Brother Xuan managed to create them?

Although Lu Xuan had already shown him an enchanted scroll, Yao Lei still felt as if he were dreaming. Successfully inscribing an enchanted scroll meant becoming a true enchanter. In just two short days, Brother Xuan had become an enchanter?

Enchanters were highly respected figures. Yao Lei had never thought that someone close to him would become an enchanter. Even if Lu Xuan couldn't join the Wind Sword Sect, as long as he revealed his identity as an enchanter, the Long family would never dare to harm the Lu family. There would naturally be forces that would want to recruit Lu Xuan to protect the Lu family.

Soon, the two of them entered the Spirit Material Street again, and Lu Xuan naturally headed straight for the Treasure Pavilion.

However, this time when they arrived, there were other guests in the Treasure Pavilion. Lu Xuan's arrival made everyone present instinctively turn to look.

"Lu Xuan! You actually dare to come here!" One of them, upon seeing Lu Xuan, immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Lu Xuan's nose and shouting. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Long Yang.

Seeing Long Yang, Lu Xuan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to run into him today. But seeing the scar on Long Yang's face, which he had inflicted yesterday, he remembered the scene of Long Yang kneeling and begging for mercy. Lu Xuan's face immediately showed a mocking smile.

"Long Yang, I spared your life yesterday, and it seems you haven't learned your lesson?"

Lu Xuan's words made Long Yang's face turn dark. He would never forget what had happened yesterday. From birth to now, he had never lost so much face. He had knelt and begged for mercy in front of everyone, and even wet his pants out of fear.

Long Yang snorted coldly, not responding to Lu Xuan, but instead turned to someone beside him and said, "Brother, the one who beat me yesterday is him! The scar on my face is his doing, and the gold you gave me to buy materials was also taken by him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan's gaze immediately shifted from Long Yang to this person. This person was dressed in very luxurious clothing, and his appearance bore a resemblance to Long Yang. He stood at the center of the crowd, and the others looked up to him, clearly indicating that he was the main figure this time.

This person was also staring at Lu Xuan. Their eyes met, and Lu Xuan could clearly see a hint of arrogance in his eyes, a completely condescending attitude, as if he didn't even consider Lu Xuan worth his attention.

"Brother Xuan, this guy should be Long Yang's older brother, Long Zhi. However, he rarely returns to Green Hill Town and has always lived in the neighboring city," Yao Lei whispered to Lu Xuan. He had never met Long Zhi but had heard of him. It wasn't hard to guess from Long Yang's address.

At this moment, Long Zhi also spoke, his tone extremely calm, as if he was too high and mighty to bother speaking to Lu Xuan.

"Hand over the gold you took yesterday, slap yourself twenty times, and then kowtow and apologize to my brother. Then we'll consider this matter settled."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, shaking his head and ignoring Long Zhi. He walked forward on his own, speaking to the old shopkeeper.

"Senior, I'm disturbing you again. This is Miss Chen Xi's notebook. I've finished reading it. Please help me return it to her." As he spoke, Lu Xuan handed over the enchanting beginner's book with both hands.

However, Lu Xuan's attitude of ignoring him infuriated Long Zhi. He couldn't believe that Lu Xuan was so reckless, daring to ignore his words.

"Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!" Long Zhi's tone instantly turned dark. Lu Xuan's actions had already angered him.

Lu Xuan frowned, interrupted by Long Zhi. Is this guy a mad dog?

Turning to face Long Zhi, Lu Xuan slowly said, "That money was a bet that Long Yang made himself. He lost the bet, and you should be grateful that I didn't kill him on the arena."

Long Zhi laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke. Looking at Lu Xuan, he said, "You should be grateful that you didn't kill him, or you'd be dead now. I dare you to try!"

Lu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I dare him to step onto the arena again."

Hearing Lu Xuan's obvious sarcasm, Long Yang was so angry that he trembled all over. Even if he were given the courage, he wouldn't dare step onto the arena again. Lu Xuan's sword had already terrified him.

"Alright, settle your matters privately. Lu Xuan, bring the book over, and I'll help you return it to Miss Chen Xi," Uncle Jiu, the old shopkeeper, interrupted their conversation.

Although Long Zhi was reluctant, he didn't dare to offend Uncle Jiu. He obediently apologized to Uncle Jiu and stood to the side, but his gaze towards Lu Xuan was extremely cold. Lu Xuan had not only humiliated Long Yang yesterday and taken the gold he had given him to buy materials, but also disrespected him. Long Zhi now hated Lu Xuan to the core and thought to himself that as soon as Lu Xuan left the Spirit Material Street, it would be easy to deal with him given his status.

Ignoring Long Zhi, Lu Xuan handed the notebook to the old shopkeeper and said, "Senior, I have another matter to trouble you with."

The old shopkeeper looked up at Lu Xuan, then at Long Zhi and his group, and slowly asked, "What is it?"

He assumed that Lu Xuan wanted him to protect him. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't bother, but Lu Xuan was different. Miss Chen Xi had clearly favored Lu Xuan yesterday. Although he didn't know why Miss Chen Xi, with her status, would be interested in Lu Xuan, he would still show him some favor for her sake. Long Zhi, he knew, might have some status in others' eyes, but he didn't consider him important.

"Miss Chen Xi said that successfully inscribed enchanted scrolls can be sold here. I came this time to ask Senior to help me sell one. The price doesn't matter; I just want to sell it quickly."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Long Zhi and his group, was stunned. The old shopkeeper was also taken aback. Lu Xuan's request was far from what he had expected. What was even more unbelievable was that Lu Xuan had actually succeeded in inscribing an enchanted scroll with the materials he bought yesterday.

He asked instinctively, "The Enraged Scroll... you succeeded in inscribing it?"

Lu Xuan nodded, "Yes, I succeeded."

"Ah Yang, is he an enchanter too?" Long Zhi asked Long Yang, somewhat surprised.

Long Yang shook his head firmly, "Impossible! How could he be an enchanter! You know the situation with the Lu family. How could they possibly cultivate an enchanter? Just wait and see, it's definitely fake!"

Long Yang absolutely didn't believe that Lu Xuan could be an enchanter. Because he had been paying attention to Lu Xuan's sister, he knew a lot about Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan's sudden burst of combat power yesterday had already surprised him. Now, telling him that Lu Xuan was an enchanter seemed like a fairy tale to Long Yang.
