Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 229 A Battle of Wits, Haotian's Overbearing Nature

Does Tang Yuehua even deserve to be compared to Ye Qingxian?
Lin Xiao really didn't know where Tang Yuehua got her courage!

Tang Yuehua's face turned pale and red, and she looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief, unable to believe that he would say such direct and harsh words!
An...old woman!
Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Tang Yuehua is not young; she is already over forty. Moreover, she is just an ordinary person. Although she takes good care of herself, the ravages of time never spare anyone.

She was deeply anxious about this.

Even now, this remains a source of worry for her.

"Lin Xiao! I watched you grow up!"

"All these years I've treated you like my own son or nephew, but is this how you treat me? If Qingxian saw this, how heartbroken she would be!"

Tang Yuehua's face flushed red, and all traces of her so-called refinement and charm vanished. It was as if the elegant mistress of Yuexuan had transformed into a street shrew.

However, she seemed to realize that she didn't really matter much to Lin Xiao, so she quickly avoided the issue and instead used Ye Qingxian to pressure Lin Xiao.

This woman is quite something.

However, Tang Yuehua made the same mistake again.

Just now, she mistakenly thought that she and Lin Xiao had a very good relationship, and even had the thought that she was the second Ye Qingxian.

Now, she has misjudged her relationship with Ye Qingxian.

She thought she had a good relationship with Ye Qingxian, but she didn't know that Lin Xiao's relationship with Ye Qingxian was far better than hers.

Lin Xiao watched Tang Yuehua as if she were a clown.

"Anxious."

These two seemingly casual words carry unparalleled irony.

Tang Yuehua's eyes widened.

She thought she had mastered the art of language.

But it wasn't until she faced Lin Xiao today that she realized what it meant to be outmatched. Those two words, without any profanity, were what made her furious!

"Lin Xiao, you've gone too far!"

Tang Yuehua was so angry that her voice trembled.

However, Lin Xiao didn't have the patience to argue with her anymore, and instead said very sincerely:
"Tang Yuehua, I really don't know what you're thinking."

"You dare compare yourself to Aunt Ye?"

"Aunt Ye is a Soul Douluo-level healing-type Soul Master, whose status even surpasses that of a Title Douluo. She can be said to be the top healing Soul Master in the entire continent, but you are just an ordinary person. In terms of status, you are completely defeated."

"Aunt Ye is highly skilled in medicine. I wouldn't dare say her medical skills are unparalleled, but she is certainly among the best. You, on the other hand, only know how to wiggle your hips and flit around among men. What Aunt Ye disdains is precisely what you are proud of. In terms of talent, you are completely defeated."

"As a Contra user, Aunt Ye is eternally youthful. She is naturally beautiful and has an amazing figure, but she disdains using her looks to please others like you do. As an ordinary person, after you wipe off your makeup, would you dare to look closely at the fine lines on your face? In terms of beauty, you are completely defeated."

"Lin Xiao had a difficult past, and it was only with the help of Aunt Ye and Senior Dugu that she was able to gradually emerge from the mire and become who she is today. Compared to what she has given, you, a mercenary woman who only knows how to take advantage, do you even deserve to be compared?"

Lin Xiao's sharp tongue sparred with her wit and eloquence in one smooth motion.

For Tang Yuehua, every word was like a spear, piercing her heart with excruciating pain.

Lin Xiao did not exaggerate.

But that's precisely why all the damage dealt is true damage!
Tang Yuehua nearly vomited three liters of blood.

She looked at Lin Xiao in fear, filled with deep regret.

I originally thought the other party was just an ignorant young man, or at most a military general who was not good at speaking. Who knew he would be so sharp-tongued!

Lin Xiao delivered the final blow.

"Your Haotian Sect is truly lacking in manpower. The men are hiding inside like cowards, enjoying their lives, while a woman with no strength to even kill a chicken has to come out and deal with things."

"Tang Yuehua, it seems your sect doesn't love you that much either."

"Are they just using you as a tool?"

Tang Yuehua felt a sharp pain in her heart, clutched her chest, and said angrily:
"A fine disciple of the Immortal Cult!"

"What a fine disciple of the Immortal Cult!"

Lin Xiao sat calmly in his seat and gestured for him to enter.

"Tang Yuehua, you're already interrogating me the moment we meet. You must have been preparing a trap all along, haven't you?" "Why isn't the feast starting yet?"

Tang Yuehua was stunned, her eyes filled with astonishment.

In the end, she was so angry that she burst into tears.

"Get out, get out!"

Lin Xiao found it strange.

Doesn't Tang Yuehua know that she's already an old auntie?
I thought I was as youthful as Aunt Ye.

That tone, so like a young girl whining, is absolutely disgusting.

However, seeing that Tang Yuehua was already in a state of panic, Lin Xiao knew that the confrontation was over and there was no point in continuing to entangle them.

He walked straight out of the Moon Pavilion.

As Lin Xiao walked out, he could feel several pairs of eyes on him, some of which even made him feel vaguely uncomfortable.

They are probably experts from Yuexuan.

But he never looked back, and secretly hoped for something more.

Please catch up with me!

You absolutely have to come and punch me!

Unfortunately, even after Lin Xiao's figure disappeared from the Yuexuan area, the few gazes behind him never made a move.

……

"Master, why don't we chase after him and teach him a lesson?"

A middle-aged soul master with a fierce face was very puzzled. Tang Yuehua had clearly been angered to tears by Lin Xiao, but she was still blocking them and even made some harsh words.

"Anyone who dares to chase after them will be punished."

Tang Yuehua said angrily:
"If you're so capable, don't go after this kid and cause trouble for Poison Douluo, for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or for the Ye family!"

The middle-aged Soul Master fell silent.

Each of these three could kill him!
But he was still somewhat unconvinced and said:

"Just chasing after them and teaching them a lesson isn't enough to cause a complete falling out with our Haotian Sect, is it?"

Tang Yuehua said angrily:

"Whose orders should we listen to here? If you're so capable, then take matters into your own hands and do it!"

Tang Yuehua couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Over the years, she has navigated the power dynamics of Tiandou City, her face almost frozen from smiling. She's so stingy that she even takes advantage of her best friend, all for the sake of Haotian Sect.

However, these subordinates were all incredibly difficult to manage.

What is she after?!

Tang Yuehua rubbed her temples. "Let's drop this matter."

"Report to the sect that this is just a misunderstanding. The Power Clan did indeed side with Lin Xiao, but that was only out of necessity under the circumstances. Lin Xiao has already apologized and made compensation."

As for compensation, she'll have to find the right thing to do herself.

Let's deal with the sect first.

Tang Yuehua was well aware that offending Lin Xiao was not worthwhile and was foolish!

As for what just happened... she admitted that she had been greedy.

She composed herself and decided to reconnect with Ye Qingxian and improve their relationship.

The middle-aged soul master agreed.

But in his heart he felt disdain:
She was just an ordinary woman, timid and soft-hearted in the face of outsiders.

He couldn't swallow this breath!
I can't stand anyone more domineering than the Haotian Sect!
