The guard hadn’t waited for Cheng Beibei to speak before he drew his sword and thrust it fiercely towards Yang Xiaotian.

Everyone was taken aback; they hadn’t expected Cheng Beibei’s protector to suddenly strike at Yang Xiaotian.

And it was at the gate of the Divine Sword City Lord’s Mansion.

Just as the opponent’s sword was about to pierce through Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, Zhang Jingrong, who was beside him, drew her sword and slashed downward.

Instantly, there was a scream, as the guard’s arm was severed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Jingrong kicked the man ten or so meters away, crashing him into the street at the entrance to the gate.

Blood stained the entrance of the Divine Sword City Lord’s Mansion red.

The sudden change in front of their eyes was beyond everyone’s expectations.

“Martial King second layer!” Hu Xing exclaimed, looking at Zhang Jingrong next to Yang Xiaotian.

The gentle-looking maid beside Yang Xiaotian was actually a Martial King second layer master.

She was the same as him, a Martial King second layer!

But wasn’t Yang Xiaotian from Yang Family Manor? The strongest member of the Yang Family Manor, Yang Ming, was only in the Innate fifth layer, so how could there be a Martial King Realm master beside Yang Xiaotian?

How did he win her over?

You should know, even the Divine Sword City Lord’s Mansion would find it difficult to recruit a Martial King Realm expert.

Cheng Beibei was also shocked and taken aback.

At that moment, Zhang Jingrong pointed her sword at Cheng Beibei and said coldly, “Control your dog better. If you dare to take action against my young master again, I’ll cripple you too!”

Her foot had kicked into the Dantian of Cheng Beibei’s guard just now; even if his Dantian wasn’t destroyed, it was nearly so.

“You!” Cheng Beibei pointed at Zhang Jingrong, trembling with rage, unable to believe that a maid of Yang Xiaotian would dare to point a sword at her.

“How audacious!” The guards behind Cheng Beibei angrily drew their swords.

“Stop!” A loud shout rang out, authoritative without anger.

This commotion had already alarmed Peng Zhigang.

When Peng Zhigang learned that Cheng Beibei’s guard had made a move on Yang Xiaotian at the gate of his City Lord’s Mansion, his face looked extremely ugly.

Today was his birthday feast, and a guard of Cheng Beibei dared to make a move at the entrance of his City Lord’s Mansion. What the hell was this?

Moreover, Yang Xiaotian was an important guest he had invited.

Seeing Peng Zhigang’s arrival, Cheng Beibei’s guards hesitated for a moment before ultimately sheathing their swords.

On seeing Peng Zhigang, however, Cheng Beibei was furious, “City Lord Peng, you’ve arrived just in time. Yang Xiaotian’s maid seriously injured my guard, and she even threatened to take me down. Take down Yang Xiaotian’s maid for me! I want to throw her into the Heavenly Prison and punish her with death!”

Peng Zhigang was already irked, but he didn’t expect Cheng Beibei to actually play the victim first.

However, since Cheng Beibei was a princess of Divine Sea Country, Peng Zhigang suppressed his anger and said, “Your Highness Princess, Young Master Yang is an important guest I invited here today. Your guard attempted to assassinate Young Master Yang at the gate of my City Lord’s Mansion. Isn’t that going too far?”

Cheng Beibei was startled, about to say more when Hu Xing quickly clasped his fists and smiled at Peng Zhigang, “City Lord Peng, the princess’ subordinate, upon learning that the princess had been injured by Yang Xiaotian a few days ago, acted out of anger and surely was reckless. The princess and I apologize to you, City Lord Peng.”

“Upon returning, the princess will surely heavily punish that guard.”

Hearing this, Peng Zhigang’s expression eased a little. He turned and said to Yang Xiaotian with cupped hands, “Young Master Yang, are you alright? I didn’t expect such an incident; I am truly sorry.”

Yang Xiaotian waved his hand, “No harm done, City Lord Peng is being too polite.”

“Young Master Yang is magnanimous,” Peng Zhigang finally felt relieved and very politely welcomed Yang Xiaotian into the mansion.

Cheng Beibei saw that Peng Zhigang didn’t mention Yang Xiaotian’s maid seriously injuring her subordinates and ignored her completely, yet welcomed Yang Xiaotian into the mansion, which made her even more furious.

“Yang Xiaotian, you just wait, this isn’t over!” Cheng Beibei resentfully watched Yang Xiaotian enter the City Lord’s Mansion.

Hu Xing pondered and said, “Today is City Lord Peng’s birthday banquet, Your Highness Princess, let’s settle the account with Yang Xiaotian another day.”

Peng Zhigang, being the Divine Sword City Lord, was not an ordinary city lord; even the King of the Divine Sea Country sometimes had to give him respect.

If there were too much commotion at his birthday banquet, it would not look good for Peng Zhigang.

However, Cheng Beibei coldly snorted, “My affairs are none of your business!” and then entered the mansion with a group of guards.

Hu Xing fell silent.

Peng Zhigang invited Yang Xiaotian into the mansion and offered him the seat of honor. Yang Xiaotian declined at first but then took the first seat on the right side.

By now, the hall was already filled with quite a number of people.

When everyone saw Peng Zhigang personally go out to welcome a kid and even allowed him the seat of honor, many felt miffed.

Those who were invited by Peng Zhigang to his birthday banquet were naturally of no low status.

Annoyed, a young man in a green robe sitting at the fourth seat on the right side asked, “Who is this kid?”

“Yichun, this kid is the recently famous Yang Xiaotian, he is quite something,” Luo Junpeng, the vice president of Yunhui Academy, said with a smile that bely his words.

Yunhui Academy, akin to Divine Sword Academy, was one of the four major academies in Divine Sea Country.

However, the relationship between Yunhui Academy and Divine Sword Academy was not harmonious.

“So it’s him,” Deng Yichun sneered. “Something quite special, my ass. I think he’s just being hyped up by some ignorant people, praising him as if he’s unparalleled on Earth and rare in the heavens.”

Deng Yichun was indeed one of the four great Alchemists’ direct disciples in Divine Sea Country, a peer of Qiu Haiqiu and Chen Zihan, and was the young elite of Divine Sea Country’s Pharmacist world.

Of course, not only was his alchemy talent high, but his Martial Soul and Martial Dao Talent were also formidable; he was the chief disciple of Yunhui Academy, with strength comparable to Hu Xing.

However, Luo Junpeng laughed and said, “Though people like to exaggerate, this Yang Xiaotian does have twin-level eleven Martial Souls; his talent is indeed impressive.”

Deng Yichun coldly huffed, “So what if his Martial Soul talent and Martial Dao talent are good? In terms of alchemy talent, I can crush him a hundred times over!”

Luo Junpeng chuckled, “That’s true.”

Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul and Martial Dao Talent were indeed astonishing, but there was no mention of any alchemy talent.

At that moment, Cheng Beibei and Hu Xing entered.

Seeing them, Deng Yichun stood up to greet Cheng Beibei and Hu Xing.

Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian sitting at the first seat on the right side, Cheng Beibei snorted coldly and took the first seat on the left side.

A while later, Chen Zihan arrived, but Lin Yuan was occupied with matters and could not come.

Overjoyed to see Chen Zihan, Cheng Beibei pulled her to sit next to her.

“Are your injuries all right now?” After a short chat, Chen Zihan said, “In the future, sister will definitely teach Yang Xiaotian a lesson for you.”

Cheng Beibei had heard about how Yang Xiaotian had kicked her flying.

Staring at Yang Xiaotian, Cheng Beibei said hatefully, “Sister doesn’t need to take action, I will personally avenge this grievance later.”
