16: Massage Controversy

When Xun Xiuyuan heard Bai Xiaoou's voice, he immediately got up and opened the door.

Outside stood three people: two men in white, and one was Bai Xiaoou.

Xun Xiuyuan didn't even bother to ask, directly using his detection ability.

Wang Junli: Fifth-grade Grandmaster.

Age: 19

Height: 175

Descendant of the Wang Family, one of the Ten Great Families of the Abyss.

Wang Junxing: Fifth-grade Grandmaster.

Age: 19

Height: 168

Descendant of the Wang Family, one of the Ten Great Families of the Abyss.

After glancing at the detection results, he looked at Bai Xiaoou: "Did they bully you?"

Bai Xiaoou shook her head, then spoke: "I saw you hadn't eaten, so I got some food for you from the hall, but they deliberately bumped into me and spilled it."

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the food on the ground but said nothing.

"Kid, my clothes are made of silk armor. It's not easy to clean if they get dirty. What do you say about compensation?"

Wang Junli, who was not participating in the Ningshen Mystic Realm for the first time, immediately spoke to Xun Xiuyuan when he saw someone stepping forward.

He understood people from places like City Pass very well.

During the last Ningshen Mystic Realm, he took a liking to a girl and got her using this exact method.

Xun Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, and he smiled faintly: "What do you say about compensation?"

As he spoke, he casually pulled Bai Xiaoou behind him, so she wouldn't get hit when he started fighting.

Wang Junxing, seeing Xun Xiuyuan soften, immediately stepped forward: "I don't think you can afford to compensate us. How about this: you let this little girl go to our room and give us a massage, and we'll drop the matter."

"A massage, sure!" Xun Xiuyuan continued to smile faintly.

The two Wang family members were overjoyed at how smoothly things were going. This Bai Xiaoou was indeed quite captivating.

"My ancestral massage technique is truly exceptional."

Xun Xiuyuan continued, and as soon as he finished speaking, before the two could react, he instantly threw two punches, landing squarely on their faces.

His punches were incredibly fast, and the two screamed almost simultaneously.

A punch from a seventh-grade Martial King was something the two simply couldn't withstand, and they both fell to the ground.

Their heads were spinning, and they were seeing stars.

Xun Xiuyuan saw the two on the ground, jumped with force, and stepped on one of them.

He bounced back and forth, alternately stepping on the two, muttering: "Silk armor, huh? Massage, huh? Looking for death, huh?"

Soon, the two beneath his feet stopped moving.

"They're not dead, are they?" Bai Xiaoou asked.

"How could that be? Two Grandmasters aren't that easy to kill. I didn't even use much force. They probably just fainted from anger."

Looking at the food on the ground, he stomped on the two again: "Let's go, take me to the hall to eat. I'm actually a bit hungry."

As soon as the two left, the two lying on the ground immediately stood up.

"Damn, what a monster! When he was standing on me, I couldn't even struggle."

"He's probably a sixth-grade Martial Marquis. I didn't expect such a master to come from City Pass. Let's go find Wang Junlin and have him stand up for us."

The hall Bai Xiaoou mentioned was a multi-purpose room that served as a dining area, meeting room, and classroom.

At this moment, quite a few people were already seated there, mostly in groups of three to five, clearly divided into their own small circles.

When Xun Xiuyuan entered, most of the people present turned their heads for a glance. Seeing that they didn't recognize him, they immediately resumed their conversations.

He got some food from the nearby window and sat down at an empty table to eat.

Bai Xiaoou sat opposite him, helping Xun Xiuyuan cut the large pieces of exotic beast meat into smaller ones. Xun Xiuyuan didn't stop her; in fact, biting into the larger pieces was more satisfying.

Seeing Bai Xiaoou's actions, a few young men nearby looked on with envy, showing a hint of admiration for Xun Xiuyuan.

Just as Xun Xiuyuan finished eating, five people entered from the doorway, all dressed in white, looking very flashy.

Among them were the two, Wang Junli and Wang Junxing, who had just been 'massaged' by Xun Xiuyuan.

"Brother Junlin, it's him! He bumped into us and didn't apologize, and even called our Wang family trash."

"Yes, and he also said he'd beat one if one came, and two if two came."

Among the five, the leader was nearly 180 cm tall, with a handsome, jade-like face, very much like a pretty boy.

Wang Junlin: Sixth-grade Martial Marquis.

Age: 19

Height: 181

Descendant of the Wang Family, one of the Ten Great Families of the Abyss.

Before the other party could even show off, Xun Xiuyuan had already scanned them. The other two were fifth-grade, negligible.

The system didn't even give them notes, indicating they weren't important characters.

Unlike Left Guard Bai Lingxiao, who received a 'sixth-grade peak' evaluation.

Wang Junlin wasn't as foolish as his two cousins. He stepped forward and said to Xun Xiuyuan: "I am Wang Junlin of the Wang family. You heard what my two brothers just said. Is there anything you wish to say?"

"Oh, I have nothing to say. What they said is quite accurate."

Xun Xiuyuan said indifferently.

Wang Junlin was stunned. "Quite accurate," he repeated. He carefully recalled what his two brothers had said, and a surge of anger immediately rushed to his head.

"So, what they said is true?" Wang Junlin asked with a dark expression.

"That, I wouldn't know. I just gave them a massage. Other than that, I really don't know. If you want to stand up for them, I'm ready."

Xun Xiuyuan thought to himself: This is just like a cliché showing-off routine. If you want to fight, just be straightforward. Fighting exotic beasts every day, it's better to spar with people.

Bai Xiaoou immediately became agitated. Since Xun Xiuyuan was unwilling to explain, she immediately stepped forward and recounted the entire incident from beginning to end.

The other people present immediately looked at the two accusers, discussing amongst themselves.

"So, they tried to bully a girl, failed, got beaten, and now they're calling their elders? How impressive."

"Aren't the Wang family members always like this?"

"True, but the Wang family's strength is genuinely strong. This Wang Junlin advanced to sixth-grade Martial Marquis a long time ago."

The people discussing were naturally also from the Ten Great Families of the Abyss. They didn't care whether you were happy or not.

Wang Junlin heard the discussions nearby and was now in a difficult position, caught between a rock and a hard place, thinking of an excuse to continue his aggression.

Just then, a woman, alone, walked in from outside the door.

She wore a form-fitting sweater on top and a purple long skirt on the bottom, with a stunningly beautiful face.

As soon as this woman entered the main hall, she immediately became the focus of all the men.

Including Xun Xiuyuan: Damn, this girl is something else. Her looks are absolutely stunning.

He immediately scanned her.

Li Qingqian: Sixth-grade Martial Marquis Peak.

Age: 18

Height: 172

Direct daughter of the Li Family Patriarch, one of the Ten Great Families of the Abyss.

Her identity even had a note, and she was a direct daughter. This girl was truly impressive.

Li Qingqian looked around, scanning the room. Everyone shifted their gaze away, except for Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan and Li Qingqian met each other's eyes. If she was good-looking, he would definitely look more; it didn't cost anything.

"Elder Yang just said that the Mystic Realm will open tomorrow. The energy fluctuations are already very intense. Whatever grudges you have, settle them after you leave the Mystic Realm."

Li Qingqian's voice was clear and crisp, like jade beads falling onto a plate.

Xun Xiuyuan said very generously: "Anytime is fine. You're a very beautiful girl, so I'll give you face."

Li Qingqian was speechless upon hearing Xun Xiuyuan's words. I'm helping you, aren't I? You make it sound like you can beat Wang Junlin.

And what's with "this girl is very beautiful"? Do I need you to appraise my beauty?

"Then today, I will give face to Sister Li of the Li family. We will resolve this matter after the Mystic Realm opens."

With that, Wang Junlin led the Wang family members away, inviting Li Qingqian to catch up as he left.

Li Qingqian ignored him, saying she was there to eat.

Just then, five young men in the distance, as if remembering something, walked directly up to Xun Xiuyuan and asked: "Brother, are you Xun Xiuyuan from Yuncheng Pass?"
