Chapter 553
Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction? An apprentice of Yui Hatano?
Everyone was surprised . They had never heard or either the Exploding Heavens Faction or Yui Hatano . In the Eastern Continent, apprentices announced the names of their teacher only if their teacher was famous . Being as no one recognized these terms, the group of elites figured that Xu Que had just recently become an elite .
Gong Yue stared at Xu Que .
"Why is it that I can feel a slight trace of the energy of the Gong family on you?!" she exclaimed .
Normally, if a member of the Gong family was able to pick up the energy of the Gong family on someone who was not actually a member of the family, it meant that that person had killed a member of the Gong family . Gong Yue hadn't heard anything about the status of Gong Feng's visit to Five Elements Mountain . And now this man showed up with a slight trace of Gong-family energy on him…
Xu Que knew he was in trouble .
Obviously, Xu Que knew what Gone Yue was referring to . Xu Que had in fact killed Gong Feng, and very recently on top of that . When he opened Gong Feng's Storage Ring, a ray of red light fell upon Xu Que . Buttface had destroyed the red stream of light, but not before a little bit of it could penetrate Xu Que's body .
Buttface had explained that the red light had the ability to leave a mark that would identify anyone who had killed a member of the Gong family . However, Buttface assured him that since he had destroyed the light so quickly, the energy would be so faint no one could possibly detect it . This is why Xu Que thought that the effects of the red light wouldn't cause him any trouble .
However, he never thought he would run into other members of the Gong family during his first day on the East Continent . He also hadn't expected anyone to be able to pick up the trace of Gong-family energy that he had inside him .
"I'm sorry, I am a scholar who has never met any member of the Gong family!"
Xu Que said, pretending he knew nothing about what she was talking about .
"Tell me," Gong Yue frowned, "are you sure you have not met anyone from the Gong family recently?"
"I have not! I just finished my cultivation and came here through a teleportation array . I have never seen anyone from the Gong Family . Though come to think of it, I did meet an ugly, old beggar . I gave him some Spiritual Stones . He became so excited . He kept on shaking my hand . "
"An ugly, old beggar?!" Gong Yue exclaimed . Her peers were also shocked . "How dare you! How dare you insult my family?!"
I just asked if you'd met anyone from the Gong family recently, and then you go on to say that you met an ugly, old beggar . Are you implying that that beggar is a member of my family?! How dare you say such a thing?! My family is incredibly influential! There couldn't possibly be a beggar in my family!
Everyone's attention was on Gong Yue . This woman came from an influential family and was in the ninth level of the Infant Transformation Stage . In other words, she was an elite with a great reputation .
"How can that young man who is only in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage dare to offend Gong Yue like this?"
"He is in deep sh*t!"
"Offending Gong Yue is tantamount to offending the entire Gong family as well as the Jiang family . "
"This unfortunate young man is out of luck . Isn't that right, Jiang Shan," someone said .
Jiang Shan was one of the members in this group of elites . He was incredibly powerful . In fact, he was in the running to be the Jiang family's next holy son . Jiang Shan was also very close to Gong Yue .
Xu Que frowned . He hadn't wanted any of this happen at all . He simply wanted to know the Water Empress' whereabouts and how to find her…
Why I am so unlucky today?!
A young man in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage stepped forward .
"What's your name again? Li…? Do you have any idea who I am?!" the man said .
"No… You are you?" Xu Que said, looking purposely perplexed .
"My my! This little young man doesn't even know who we are! And he's still got the balls to talk in nonsense here in the Bright Moon Hotel . Haven't you?!" the young man sneered .
