Chapter 55: Grandpa isn't someone who bites just anyone!

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at the uninvited beggar with some speechlessness, her heart full of puzzlement. Who was this old man? When would Master Xuan appear and bring someone like this along? As she thought about it, her gaze involuntarily shifted to the Great Elder.

  "Don't look at me like that, I don't know this person either," the elder said silently with his eyes. The old man's face was full of confusion. Hmm! He was very sure he didn't recognize this person. Why did this person seem even more anxious than him, the elder? He couldn't figure it out!

  "Who dares to come and make trouble?" The dirty beggar, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, couldn't help but shout loudly.

  However, no one paid attention to him...

  "Hmm? Ah... may I ask what's going on?" The Great Elder asked with a hint of helplessness, sighing inwardly. Who made him the Great Elder anyway? Sometimes he had to be the scapegoat!

  "Of course I have something to do, I heard that someone is coming to make trouble, so I came on purpose to support you. Who dares to come and cause trouble? Come out and let me take a look!" The beggar said with a deep gaze, his tone full of momentum.

  "Sorry, senior. You've misunderstood. No one will come to make trouble." The elder sighed lightly and said with some helplessness. Alas! He really didn't know where this old man came from, and he also couldn't see through the old beggar's strength, so he was extremely respectful in his words.

  "You call me senior? Haha!" The old beggar was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing...

  "Hmm!" The elder was somewhat dissatisfied, this beggar's strength must be above his! What's wrong with calling him senior? And laughing like that?!

  "Are you the master?" At this time, Lan Meng, who had been observing from the side for half a day, asked uncertainly, with question marks all over his face that had returned to its original appearance.

  "Huh? Little Ming, how did you end up here too? When did you arrive?" The old beggar asked in puzzlement, he could have sworn he didn't see Lan Meng just now. Where did Lan Meng pop out from?

  "You're really a master!" Lan Meng was speechless. In his memory, the master was the one who cared most about appearance, so how did he become like this?

  "Nonsense, can it be fake?" The old beggar shouted in a somewhat annoyed tone. Alas... the Great Elder didn't recognize him, that's fine, but his own disciple couldn't even recognize him? Was his current appearance really that terrible?

  "What does your master like to eat most?" Lan Meng still didn't quite believe this beggar and couldn't help but ask tentatively.

  "Hmm! I shouldn't say that." The old beggar said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, staring at his apprentice without blinking, Ugh... Stinky Little Ming, really is which pot not opening mentioning which pot!

  "Xiao Xue Xue, he should be my master." Lan Ming said with a glance at Leng Ruo Xue.

  "What is should be? I was your master from the beginning!" The old beggar roared in dissatisfaction upon hearing Lan Meng's words.

  "So this is what your master is like! It's really true that meeting in person is not as good as hearing about someone by reputation!" said Leng Ruoxue with a smile.

  "Little girl, don't misunderstand me, I'm not usually like this, it's just that I haven't taken a bath in too long!" The old beggar said with some embarrassment. Uh! Little Ming'er is with them, so they must be friends of his disciples! Woe... He knew he had lost face in front of Little Ming'er! Hopefully, this girl isn't the future disciple's wife, otherwise, he would really have no face to see her again! He started to think wildly...

  "Oh, I understand." Leng Ruoxue was very perceptive and hadn't expected that this beggar was actually Lan Meng's often-mentioned master. Hmm! Since the head of the Xuan Shi General Assembly had already left seclusion, there shouldn't be anything for her to do here anymore. However, she really wanted to know who told him that someone came to the Xuan Shi General Assembly to cause trouble.

  "Haha, as long as you understand." The old beggar smiled happily, indeed a friend of the apprentice's, always knowing what to say!

  "Chairman, you're out of control?" The old man was stunned for a while and finally came back to his senses, asking somewhat disbelievingly. Uh! The chairman's current image is really too unexpected!

  "Nonsense! If I couldn't stand here, would I be standing here?" The old beggar glared with some displeasure.

  "Headmaster, why didn't you go take a bath before coming out? In your current state, if the other masters were to see you, it would damage your image." The Grand Elder reminded.

  "Hmph! If I hadn't heard that someone was coming to the Xuan Master's place and causing trouble, worrying that you all wouldn't be able to handle it, would I have rushed over as soon as I got out of prison? You heartless bunch, how dare you still look down on me!" The old beggar exclaimed with a face full of grievances, his deep black eyes seeming to well up with tears!

  "Uh!" The elder was at a loss for words. He didn't have any complaints about the president! How could the president wrong him?!

  "Where is the troublemaker?" The old beggar asked with some confusion, he had been here for half a day and hadn't seen anyone causing trouble! Hmph! That scoundrel, daring to deceive him!

  "Director, I've said it before, no one is causing trouble!" The elder said with a sigh.

  "Huh? But Elder Hao clearly told me that someone would come and cause trouble! He shouldn't dare to deceive me, right?" The old beggar was full of question marks.

  "Is it Elder Hao and you who said that?" The Grand Elder asked, suppressing his anger. No wonder he hadn't seen Elder Hao all this time, it turned out he had gone to find the President!

  "Yes! I was just leaving the pass when I ran into him, and he told me about all the recent troubles that have been happening. He also said that now is a good time for someone to come and stir up trouble, so I hurried over!" The old beggar explained, his dark face filled with anger, because he had never thought that Elder Hao would dare to deceive him! How outrageous, wasn't this intentionally trying to make him lose face?!

  "Master, the troublemaker that Hao Zhang mentioned should be us." Lan Meng said with some helplessness, but in his heart, he was gnashing his teeth with hatred towards Hao Zhang. Hum! That damned Hao Zhang, actually wanted to let his master deal with them, what a sinister intention!

  "Huh? Xiao Ming, what's going on here?" The old beggar was confused, but as the leader of the Xuan Shi Association, he still had some intelligence. Now, he realized that he almost got used by someone!

  "Master, it's hard to explain in just a sentence or two. Why don't you go wash up first? I'll tell you later." Lan Meng reminded him, sighing that the master's current appearance was really damaging his image.

  "Huh? Alright, alright... but where is my room now?" The old beggar asked with some distress, he didn't expect it would end up like this.

  "Chairman, I'll take you there!" The elder said with some embarrassment, sighing! It's always like this, he really didn't have the face to see the chairman!

  "Alright, take me there quickly!" The old beggar urged, he really couldn't stand his dirty appearance anymore!

  "Chairman, come with me." The elder said, and then took the old beggar to his temporary residence.

  After the old beggar left, Leng Ruo Xue called Cheng Wu over and whispered a few words to him. Afterwards, Cheng Wu took Song Di and Hei Zi and left the side hall...

  "Xue Er, where did they go?" she couldn't help but ask curiously after seeing Cheng Wu and the others leave.

  "Go and fetch Elder Hao." said Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "Oh!" A faint response. He wasn't surprised by Xue Er's decision, on the contrary, if she had let Hao Zhanglao off, he would have found it abnormal!

  "Xiao Xue, let me out." Suddenly, Bing Qi transmitted a message to Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Good." Leng Ruoxue replied, and with a flicker of her mind, she released Bing Qi from the cuff.

  After Bingji came out, he found a relatively comfortable position in Leng Ruxue's arms and lay down, his icy blue eyes still smiling and scanning the hall elders...

  The elderly people in the hall saw the sudden appearance of a small dog and their expressions all became very strange, some even showed fear...

  The cold snow gently stroked the soft down of Bing Ji, while observing the reactions of the elder men. She couldn't help but feel a little helpless at Bing Ji's wicked sense of humor. Alas! The power of Little Ice was truly unmatched! Just by appearing, it had scared those elders into what state? Now she really felt some sympathy for those poor old men!

  "You... why did you let this little dog out?" Wang Changlao, who was already somewhat nervous, became even more frightened when he saw Bing Qi, his legs trembling uncontrollably as he spoke.

  "This young lady is happy, how can that not be allowed?" Cold as Snow gave Wang Changlao a white eye and said with an unpleasant tone.

  "Hehe, don't be afraid! I won't bully you guys, as long as you behave yourselves!" Bing Qi comforted with extreme kindness, a warm and gentle smile hanging on his fluffy little face!

  "Then...then why did you come out!" Wang Chang Lao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stuttered, "Wu...as for this little dog's glorious deeds, there isn't anyone in Xiangyang City who doesn't know about it. The Mystic Emperor couldn't even last a single round against it, so...seeing this little dog, he instinctively felt afraid. Wu...the pressure from this little dog was really too great! Moreover, he believed that if Leng Ruoxue had brought out this little dog from the start, definitely no one would have dared to oppose Lan Meng becoming the deputy president of the General Assembly!"

  "Others want to go out and get some fresh air!" Bing Qi said in a very wronged tone, her icy blue eyes sparkling with tears as if she was about to cry!

  "Hmm! Good ventilation, welcome to come out for some fresh air!" Old Man Liu hastily coaxed, while continuously glaring at Old Man Wang with his eyes, who had almost made the little dog cry, and in his heart, he scolded Old Man Wang to death!

  "Ah, yes, going out for some fresh air is good for the body." Elder Wang hastily agreed, but in his heart he was resentful to death... Ugh, why does that little dog love crying so much?! He didn't even say anything! However, after Ice Jade came out, his thoughts became a lot more honest.

  "Yes, everyone has gotten fat." Bing Qi said with great dissatisfaction. Alas! Recently it had been eating too well and had become a bit round, so it was necessary to exercise, otherwise after some time, Little Snow would probably not be able to carry it anymore!

  "Hey, Xiao Bing, don't bite my master either!" Lan Meng pleaded with some concern, because he remembered that Xiao Bing had said before that she wanted to bite his master!

  "Look at my mood!" Bing Qi said calmly, humph! It came out just to bite that old man, otherwise, it would have been sleeping in space!

  "Little Ice!" Bing Qi's tone made Lan Meng extremely uneasy.

  "Little Blue, for your sake, I won't bite him to death, don't worry!" Bing Qi comforted, sighing. Having acquaintances really makes things inconvenient! Can't even enjoy biting someone properly!

  "Uh!" Blue Ming didn't know what to say, it seemed that Little Ice had already made up her mind. Alas... Master! Take care of yourself and good luck! The disciple has done his best!

  Just as Lan Meng was praying in silence, Da Zhang Lao and the old beggar who had already cleaned up returned to the side hall together.

  "Master!" Lan Meng saw his master in his memories and hastily called out, secretly giving his own master a signal to be careful!

  However, the old beggar apparently didn't catch the apprentice's intention and instead walked up to Leng Ruoxue and others with a smile, saying: "Hehe, I was rude earlier. This is the real me! Let me reintroduce myself! My name is Yu Lin, and I'm the president of the Xuan Shi General Assembly!"

  "Cool as snow!" Cool-as-snow gazed at the old beggar, who was now clean and refreshed, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Indeed, people rely on their attire!" Who would have thought that this old man was actually a rare and extraordinary handsome man!

  Yu Lin looked about forty years old, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament. The aura on his body was completely restrained, giving people a very approachable feeling!

  "Leng Miss, I don't know what's going on between you and Xiao Ming'er..." Yu Lin asked with some curiosity, the words "gossip" written all over his handsome face.

  "We're friends!" Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat helplessly, sighing. This old man won't have any ideas, will he? Hopefully not, or else his outcome would be terrible!

  "Oh, just friends?" Yu Lin asked, unwilling to give up.

  "Hmm, maybe we can't even be considered friends." Cold-as-snow said calmly, pulling the demon's arm.

  "Ah! What a pity!" Yu Lin's face was full of regret.

  "Master!" Lan Meng glared at his master, sighing. When would his master ever get a clue?! He was truly helpless about his master's dullness!

  "What's the point of shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf!" Yu Lin complained.

  "Uh! Xiao Xue, don't mind, my master likes to joke around." Lan Ming ignored his master's complaints and looked at Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Nu with a apologetic face.

  "It's okay!" Leng Ruo Xue smiled faintly and said, her beautiful eyes soothingly gazing at the demon, uh! She didn't want the demon to go berserk after all!

  "Are you the President of the Mystic Association?" To ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Cold Snow's icy gaze from her pale blue eyes stared at Yu Lin as she lazily opened her mouth to ask.

  "Uh-huh, I am." Yu Lin replied very honestly, although he had no idea what the little dog meant by asking him like that!

  "Heh heh, I just wanted to confirm something." Bing Qi said with a mischievous grin, then suddenly opened his small mouth and bit down hard on Yu Lin's arm!

  "Ah!" Suddenly, a loud and heart-wrenching cry came from the side hall...

  The elderly men in the hall were terrified and stared at the small dog that had bitten the chairman's arm and wouldn't let go, cold sweat involuntarily flowing down...

  Compared with the reactions of those elders, Cold-as-Snow and others were much calmer. They watched this scene unfold with cold eyes, none of them speaking a word!

  Yu Lin was bitten and kept waving his arm, trying to shake off the little dog that had clung to his arm. However, Bing Qi remained motionless until it had its fill of biting, then jumped off the arm that was now covered in blood!

  After biting the person, Bing Qi lay back into Leng Ruo Xue's arms and even closed its eyes to pretend to sleep, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with it...

  Leng Ruo Xue glanced at Yu Lin's mangled arm, then looked at Bing Ji, who was still calm and collected. Two drops of cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Ah! Little Ice was indeed ruthless! Fortunately, Xuan Zun's body was sturdy enough; otherwise, if it were someone else, this arm would have been bitten off!

  "Master, are you alright?!" Lan Meng looked at the wound on his master's arm and hastily handed over a pellet of medicine, asking with some concern, "Poor Master! Xiao Bing's blow was really ruthless!"

  "You'll know if I'm okay or not after being bitten like this!" Yu Lin took the medicine and directly threw it into his mouth, saying with a bad tone, his eyes staring pitifully at Leng Ruoxue. In his heart, he was even more resentful... Ugh, why didn't they tie up this dog?! How could they let it jump out and bite people, who knows if the dog is sick or not! Does it need to get a shot?! For a moment, he started thinking wildly again!

  "Master, it wasn't me who bit you!" Lan Meng muttered in a wronged tone, giving a resentful glance at Leng Ruoxue.

  Leng Ruo Xue turned her head to one side, ignoring the pitiful eyes of the two master and disciple.

  "Miss Leng, your dog bit me, what do you say we do about it?" Yu Lin said directly, seeing that Leng Ruoxue didn't react under his gaze.

  "Oh!" Leng Ruo Xue just responded faintly and didn't react any further.

  "Is that it? Your dog bit me!" Yu Lin said with some incredulity.

  "I know, you've said it before." Leng Ruoxue pretended to be stupid.

  "Now that you know, don't you have anything to say? Your dog bit me!" Yu Lin reminded.

  "Alas! You're really too careless! However, my little Ice is not one to bite people randomly, you must have provoked it!" said Leng Ruo Xue with a face full of regret, and very irresponsibly shifted the blame onto Yu Lin's unfortunate body.

  "I just saw it for the first time today, how could I have provoked it? Miss Leng, you can't be like this! Your dog bit me, you must take responsibility!" Yu Lin said very clearly, humph! You think you can pretend to be innocent? He's not someone who will bite just anyone!

  "How do you want me to take responsibility? Or, I'll let you have a bite of it too, so you can even things out, how about that?" suggested Leng Ruoxue with a smile.

  "I'd never do that!" Yu Lin strongly opposed, humph! He was a human being, how could he go and bite a small dog? If this got out, he would be finished in the Great Heaven Continent!

  "This is what you didn't want yourself, don't blame me!" Leng Ruo Xue said with a faint smile, as if she had let out a sigh of relief.

  "You're so unreasonable! How can you be like this!" Yu Lin said with a choked voice.

  "Huh? You're not going to cry, are you?! It's just a little bite, is it that serious?" Leng Ruoxue said helplessly, can't Yu Lin be less childish?!

  "Ow... I was bitten by a dog! It hurts so much, and I don't know if your dog is sick or not!" Yu Lin said with some concern.

  "Damn it, you're the one who's sick! I'm only biting you because I look up to you, but I don't bite just anyone!" Bing Qi heard Yu Lin's words and suddenly roared with anger! What the...! It's not a dog! Why does everyone think it's a dog?!

  "Ugh! You'd better not look down on me! My arm is almost bitten off by you!" Yu Lin said somewhat speechlessly, sighing. He had never seen such a stinky dog before! Although this dog was indeed a bit special, but even if it was special, it was still just a dog! Being bitten by a dog was really troublesome!

  "Hmph! If you weren't Xiao Lanyan's master, I'd bite you to death right now!" Bing Qi said viciously.

  "Huh? Little dog, do I have a grudge against you? I guarantee that I've never eaten dog meat before!" Yu Lin asked somewhat perplexedly, he really couldn't understand when he had offended this little dog.

  "Look at the state of the Grandmaster now, huh! Who let you be the President of the Association, not biting you who should I bite?" Ice Qi said matter-of-factly. In his opinion, this old man couldn't manage the Association properly and must be punished! So, he got bitten!

  Yu Lin was speechless, it seemed that the General Assembly had now encountered some problems. When he came out, he saw that the General Assembly had almost become a ruin. Although he wasn't clear what had happened, the current state of the General Assembly shouldn't have anything to do with him, right? He had been in seclusion all along! Moreover, no matter what state the General Assembly was in, it shouldn't be related to this little dog either! What right did it have to bite him?! Thinking about this, he felt particularly wronged.

  "It will always be like this now, as the president of the association, you can't shirk your responsibility. Don't think that just because you're in seclusion, nothing has to do with you! Hmph! If it weren't for your poor judgment, would the association have ended up like this?" Bing Xi saw through Yu Lin's thoughts and said coldly.

  "Which of you can tell me what's going on here?" Yu Lin heard Bing Ji's words, furrowed his brow and looked at the elders in the hall with some displeasure. Alas! This little dog's words made him feel a bit ashamed. Yes! Although he was in seclusion, but no matter what happened, as the president of the General Assembly, he couldn't shirk responsibility. It seemed that he was indeed getting more and more muddled with age, and now he wasn't even as good as this little dog! He deserved to be bitten! This scolding was well-deserved! He finally understood!

  The many elders looked at each other in dismay, none of them knowing how to speak up. Even the Great Elder lowered his head and didn't dare look at Yu Lin!

  "Master, I'll tell you!" Lan Meng said, seeing that none of the elder monks dared to speak up. Alas! He hoped that Master wouldn't get furious after knowing, because although Master usually seemed gentle and refined, when he really got angry, even these people couldn't withstand it!

  "Well, Xiao Ming'er, you tell Master." Yu Lin said, suppressing his anger.

  Lan Meng nodded, and then, without missing a single word, added oil to the fire, detailing everything that had happened during Master's closed-door meditation over the years, as well as Wu Huan and others' actions.

  Yu Lin's eyebrows furrowed tighter and his face turned darker after hearing Lan Meng's words, until finally, the elder present didn't even dare to breathe!

  Leng Ruo Xue listened to Lan Meng's vivid description, and her heart had already laughed out loud. Hehe, it seemed that her recent education of Lan Meng was starting to take effect. Lan Meng had even learned how to add oil to the fire, and she had even told their master about Wu Huan's gossip scandal. Haha!

  "Damn it, where's Wu Gong? Wang Lao, go and get Wu Gong for me!" Yu Lin said with some anger after hearing his disciple's statement.

  "Eh! President, Vice-President Wu has gone missing, it's said that he eloped with someone!" Wang Lao said in a low and fearful tone... He found that the president was even more majestic than before after this trip out of the pass, so he didn't dare to be disobedient!

  "Run away? Who did he run away with? Would anyone even want that old thing?" Yu Lin said with a hint of mockery.

  "It should be with Mrs. Sun." Old Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a slightly flattering tone.

  "Huh? Which Mrs. Sun?" Yu Lin was stunned for a moment, and didn't react immediately.

  "It's the wife of the master of the Sun family." Old Man Wang carefully explained, ...this is a super aristocratic family's unspeakable secret, why did it come out of his mouth!

  "Haha, Wu Gong is really too shameless, still thinking about that old woman!" Yu Lin said with a sarcastic smile on his face. Earlier when Lan Meng told him, he thought Wu Gong had found someone new! He didn't expect it was still that old woman, sigh... It seems Wu Gong is indeed hopeless. But would that old woman really give up her noble status as Sun's wife and elope with Wu Gong? He had some doubts!

  "Ah!" The elderly men's foreheads all involuntarily slid down several black lines, and they simultaneously gritted their teeth in their hearts. Chairman! These unspeakable things, you'd better not mention them, if they get out, Master Xuan will become a laughing stock!

  "Wang Changlao, go and deliver a letter to the master of the Sun family on behalf of our sect's vice president. Tell him that his wife has taken away our sect's vice president, and demand that he return the person!" Yu Lin said with a somewhat sinister tone, her beautiful face filled with a mischievous smile. Humph! Wu Tong had done so many "good" things for the Xuan Shi Sect, and yet he still bullied his own disciple. He couldn't let that pair of shameless people get away with it!

  "Director, isn't this a bit too much? This concerns Vice Director Wu's reputation!" Elder Wang's cold sweat flowed directly down his forehead, and he said with some despair, "Why did the director have to catch him as a scapegoat?! Why couldn't he think of something better for him?! He's so depressed!"

  "What's the reputation of Vice President Wu? I'm doing this for the sake of our association's reputation, so we must bring Wu Huan back and have him punished!" Yu Lin said with a resolute determination. Humph! Wu Huan took advantage of his closed-door period to cause so much trouble and even got him bitten by a dog - he would definitely make that dead Wu Huan pay the price for this!

  "Huai Zhang..." Wang Lao called out in a low voice, still wanting to make a dying struggle!

  "How come you haven't left yet?" Yu Lin glared at Wang Chang Lao, his handsome face clouded with discontent.

  "I... I don't dare to go myself." Wang Changlao said with a snivel, he had already foreseen that if he went alone to the Sun family, he would definitely be torn apart by the master of the Sun family.
