Chapter 69

Trust.

According to You XiaoMo, today is the most disastrous day since the day he entered TianXin sect. Because of this morning’s force majeure, the both of them arrive just in time at the competition arena.

When the two of them enter the arena, they rightfully receive the attention of over eighty percent of the attendees. When they see Ling Xiao, everyone gets excited as usual. But when they see You XiaoMo, everyone gives him a look of disdain, and then ……. and then they can no longer tear their eyes away …….

In just one glance, the eyes of over seventy percent of the people at the competitor and audience seats almost pop out of their sockets. Each and every one of the wide eyes fix on the one walking out behind Ling Xiao, You XiaoMo. Oh no, to put it accurately, they are fixed on the clothes on his body.

A robe the color of thecrescent moon. The edges are embroidered with black and gold silk thread. Simple yet resplendent. Resplendent yet elegant. It’s obviously Elder brother’s clothes!

And so, the busybodies start to fill their heads with thoughts of unspeakable secret events happening in Elder brother’s room last night. Bursts of whispers that can’t be restrained rise up.

Ling Xiao appears oblivious, an elegant and proper slight smile on his handsome face, walking towards the competitor seats.

However, the one behind him, You XiaoMo is not as thick-skinned as him. When everyone’s penetrating gaze falls on his body, the scorching hot stares is impossible to ignore. He finally realizes what an idiotic decision he made.

Just when they are walking past the elders, Tang Fan who arrived just before them suddenly opens his half-closed eyes. His probing yet undecipherable gaze scrapes over them, finally resting on You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo’s legs almost give out. If it wasn’t for Ling Xiao catching him in time, he would have made a fool of himself right there.

It must be said that the stares of the Central lineage disciples already give You XiaoMo indigestion. So the gaze of Tang Fan is like a thousand catty gigantic boulder. Pressing on him making him almost unable to breathe. That feeling is too intense, as if cutting him open from inside out. As if nothing can be hidden from his eyes. If not for Ling Xiao propping him up, he almost feels that the secret teardrop on his chest will be discovered.

“So you’re Master Kong’s seventh disciple You XiaoMo?”

Just at this time, Tang Fan suddenly opens his mouth.

There’s panic in You XiaoMo’s eyes. The Grand Master actually recognizes him? And speaking to him? He recovers after a momentary daze, not daring to look at him, so he lowers his head and says, “Yes, Grand Master!”

“En, your Brother Ling is a very good disciple. If you have any issues, just look for him.”

Tang Fan goes on to say. His serene expression looking as if he is inherently kind.

Of course the people who have had dealings with him will know, this is a fake appearance.

As a leader of a sect, Tang Fan has a ruthless heart and a harsh hand. He places the most importance on TianXin sect. If someone dares to endanger TianXin sect or his position, even if that person is his own direct disciple, he won’t hesitate to eliminate that person. So when advertising one’s closeness to him, one has to keep in mind not to touch his lower limit.

“Yes, Grand Master!”

You XiaoMo repeats himself again, except that there is and added quiver in his voice.

Ling Xiao who is supporting him discovers this immediately. He then pulls him closer and meets Tang Fan’s eyes smiling, “Master, you don’t have to worry. I will take good care of Brother XiaoMo.”

“That’s good then. The competition is about to start. You should go to your seats.”

Tang Fan nods, and allows them to leave.

“Your disciple takes his leave!”

Ling Xiao says respectfully while bowing with hands cupped before dragging the weak-kneed You XiaoMo to the competitor seats.

Tang Fan looks indifferently at the retreating backs and after a moment of silence, suddenly turns towards Elder Jiang at his side, saying softly, “Elder Jiang, what do you think of the relationship between Young Xiao and that mage You XiaoMo?”

Being called upon, Elder Jiang is composed, “Answering Grand Master, I think it is very good. Young Lin has never paid so much attention to any other disciple. So their relationship is a little unusual. But last night, when I was out on patrol, they had gone to sleep very early. I definitely didn’t find anything unusual.”

Tang Fan says seemingly offhandedly, “Young Xiao ever since he came back from that trip down the mountain, his character seems to have changed a lot
