Chapter 1447: Chapter 1447: Killing with Praise

Shen Ting, Yue Qianhan.

The two are the most outstanding individuals of this generation in the Southeast Celestial Sect, hailed as the prodigies who will dominate the next era. Moreover, they are handsome and exude a heroic spirit.

Their arrival instantly made everyone here seem gloomy and dim.

It was as if, for the banquet Li Yuan prepared tonight, the two of them were the true protagonists. But it’s no wonder, with their talents, they indeed can be the stars of this banquet.

"Two senior brothers!" Liu Chan immediately stood up and saluted Yue Qianhan and Shen Ting, especially Shen Ting, who was regarded as the most outstanding person of this generation in the Southeast Celestial Sect.

Shen Ting and Yue Qianhan glanced at Liu Chan without paying much attention. However, Liu Chan was accustomed to it, as true extraordinary prodigies tend to have their own pride.

Though Liu Chan’s talents are also quite impressive, compared to these two, he paled in comparison. They are simply in a different league.

"These two are the most excellent individuals of this generation in the Southeast Celestial Sect, even being called the prodigies of the next dominating era!" At this moment, a voice sounded in Xiao Tianyu’s ear as he glanced at Lihen Heaven.

It was evidently Lihen Heaven transmitting a voice message to him.

"Compared to you, how do they fare?" Xiao Tianyu responded, and after a glance at the two, Lihen Heaven said, "I haven’t competed against them, so I don’t know. Maybe they are stronger than me!"

Lihen Heaven’s voice was earnest since the fame of these two was immense.

But he, Lihen Heaven, was merely an heir of the Lihen Clan. Thus, what he said was true: without a contest, he didn’t know.

"There will be opportunities!" Xiao Tianyu sent a voice message; he didn’t believe Li Yuan invited all these young talents just to chat idly.

The purpose was clearly something else.

Then, Xiao Tianyu’s eyes fell on Wang You beside him; he wanted to say something but swallowed it back.

"So Wang You is here too; I was blind just now!" At this moment, Yue Qianhan’s gaze fell on Wang You, subtly revealing a hint of rivalry.

Wang You.

Wang You was the second-generation prodigy of the Luoshen Sect, also viewed as one of the prodigies for the next dominating era.

Moreover, the first-generation of Luoshen Sect, Wang Tian, was already a prodigy of the dominating era. Though nobody had ever seen Wang Tian make a move, he was still regarded as a dominating era figure, showing how mysterious Wang Tian was.

"No need to be polite!" Wang You glanced at Yue Qianhan and just smiled slightly, showing little concern.

However, Yue Qianhan continued, "I heard that a few months ago, something happened at the Luoshen Sect, where someone dismissed the Nine Peaks, going directly to challenge you on the Outer Peak. It is said that you, Brother Wang You, were defeated. Is this true?"

Yue Qianhan’s words were sharp, apparently intentionally provocative.

No surprise, since Yue Qianhan and Wang You are both prodigies of the same generation, naturally becoming envious upon meeting.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan, seated all along, just smiled faintly without speaking.

But at this point, many eyes turned toward Xiao Tianyu. After all, it was known that it was Xiao Tianyu who faced Wang You on the Outer Peak.

Now being mentioned by Yue Qianhan, Xiao Tianyu naturally became the focus of many gazes.

"Of course, it’s true!"

Wang You admitted calmly, not feeling ashamed of losing to Xiao Tianyu on the Outer Peak.

Even after the Dao had been verified by both, without a battle against Xiao Tianyu, he still said he had lost.

"So the rumors are true!" After a glance, Yue Qianhan sat down, and though everyone thought he wouldn’t speak again,

Yue Qianhan picked up a cup of wine and drank it down, saying, "It seems you, Wang You, don’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as me!"

Yue Qianhan’s voice was immensely arrogant and cold, causing the mood in Storm Pavilion to shift uneasily after his statement.

A simple statement, yet immensely humiliating.

His words indicate that Wang You, one of Luoshen Sect’s three Saint Children, was unworthy of being compared to him.

What lofty arrogance is this?

After setting down the wine cup, Yue Qianhan continued, "One of the three Saint Children of the prestigious Luoshen Sect, unbeaten among peers, hailed as a future prodigy, yet defeated—laughable indeed. As for Xiao Tianyu, though recently gaining some fame and creating something independently, yet isn’t it just relying on the powers of four senior brothers, fooling himself into thinking he’s exceptional?"

Wow!

Upon hearing this, sharpness flashed in Li Fei’s eyes behind Xiao Tianyu.

Seeing this, Yue Qianhan paid no heed.

Wang You said, "Fame and gain, to me, are unimportant; be it defeat or victory, I don’t take it to heart, because I know, chasing only after fame and gain in life is exhausting. But to openly slander others—this isn’t a temperament fit for an exceptional person, is it?"

Wang You’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was clear to all present.

Wang You continued, "Moreover, I never claimed to be one of the next era’s prodigies; it’s merely something people outside have circulated!"

Wang You’s continuous words echoed his conviction that he never proclaimed himself as part of the next dominating era; it was merely hearsay among the masses.

For him, fame and gain mattered not, and Yue Qianhan publicly slandered Xiao Tianyu; therefore, Wang You’s words were not without reason, using him as a pretext to criticize Xiao Tianyu reflected narrow-mindedness.

"Striving for truth!" Yue Qianhan said coldly.

"Brother Yue, that’s incorrect!" At this moment, Li Yuan stood up, addressing Yue Qianhan, "Let me introduce you; the one beside Brother Wang You is Brother Xiao Tianyu, who’s been extremely popular recently!"

Introducing neither too early nor too late, but at this precise moment, Li Yuan was being somewhat deliberate.

Many eyes on Li Yuan also revealed a hint of peculiarity.

And Li Yuan continued, "In the Ancient Realm, Brother Xiao emerged out of nowhere, crushing all the remarkable figures in the Ghost Cave. It’s said even Lihen Heaven was defeated by Brother Xiao, eventually gaining the Golden Hall inheritance, creating the Xiao Sect with ten senior brothers. At such a young age, he managed to stand independently, undoubtedly possessing unparalleled talent!"

"What’s even more legendary is that he treated the entire Luoshen Sect with disdain, defeating Brother Wang You on the Outer Peak, slaying the Middle Three Peaks Sword Son under his palm. Among our generation, who has done such shocking feats? The mighty Luoshen Sect is one of the five major forces!"

Li Yuan’s continuous words surprised all present. Yue Qianhan had just slandered Xiao Tianyu, and now Li Yuan praised him so much, clearly implying malicious intent.

This is a situation of killing with kindness.

Xiao Tianyu glared at Li Yuan, with a more indifferent demeanor, finally realizing that Li Yuan hosted this banquet specifically for him, Xiao Tianyu.

Given the circumstances, it was evidently apparent that the Southeast Celestial Sect and Great Li Dynasty were closely allied.
