Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 230 The Arrogant Haotian!

Lin Xiao left Yuexuan and returned to the Ye residence.

At this time, Lingling and the others had not yet finished school, and Senior Dugu was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, Aunt Qingxian was still in the yard.

"Aunt Ye, I'm back."

With Maple Leaf perched on his shoulder, Lin Xiao knocked on Ye Qingxian's door.

"The door is unlocked, come in."

After Lin Xiao entered, he saw that Ye Qingxian had already stood up and was walking towards him. On the desk were some hybridization experiments that Ye Qingxian was designing.

Ye Qingxian has a particular interest in medicinal herbs. She is no longer satisfied with simple pharmacological knowledge, but is now figuring out whether she can cultivate the medicinal herbs she needs.

Lin Xiao always felt that it would be a real pity if Ye Qingxian didn't become a god.

The goddess of flowers, the goddess of agriculture... they all seem quite suitable.

Ye Qingxian's gaze lingered on Lin Xiao for a moment before she nodded slightly.

"He's gotten even more handsome, and his masculinity is even stronger."

Lin Xiao is currently in a period of rapid development. In just half a year, Ye Qingxian noticed that Lin Xiao has grown a little taller and his shoulders have broadened, but his figure remains very upright.

Lin Xiao flattered:

"Aunt Ye looks even more beautiful!"

Ye Qingxian rolled her eyes, then asked Lin Xiao if he had encountered any trouble in the past six months.

Lin Xiao gave a brief answer.

Then, Lin Xiao recounted what happened when she entered the city.

She had only said a few words when Ye Qingxian's face darkened.

Ye Qingxian said angrily:

"Tang Yuehua is shameless!"

Ye Qingxian knew about Haotian Sect's plight, and she also understood Tang Yuehua's purpose in approaching her—it was nothing more than wanting to take advantage of her.

She felt that Tang Yuehua was a smart person, and she was comfortable to be around. Moreover, Tang Yuehua could sometimes help her, so she continued to keep in touch with her.

But what happened today.

This made Ye Qingxian very unhappy!
Lin Xiao is Ye Qingxian's nominal apprentice, but in reality, he is a family member closer than a son.

What is Tang Yuehua anyway?
Ye Qingxian said in a cold voice:
"Lin Xiao, Aunt Ye will not let this matter go lightly."

"I will make Tang Yuehua give you an explanation!"

Lin Xiao shook his head.

"I need her to explain what I'm doing."

Ye Qingxian nodded slightly.

"Alright, then we won't explain."

If you don't want Tang Yuehua's explanation, then you won't even give her a chance to make amends; you'll decisively cut ties.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel some sorrow for Tang Yuehua.

"Too clever by half, and you'll end up losing your life."

While it wouldn't have cost her her life, the way things turned out was indeed related to Tang Yuehua's overconfidence.

She overestimated her relationship with Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian, and underestimated the bond between Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian.

Ultimately, they reaped what they sowed.

……

Yuexuan.

Tang Yuehua dismissed her personal maid and stayed alone in the room.

She sat down in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. She saw that her makeup was ruined by tears, making her look disheveled and no longer as elegant and graceful as before.

"Old woman..."

In the image in my mind, the young man's handsome face was full of sarcasm, and his white teeth and red lips uttered the coldest words.

Tang Yuehua felt that she might be having nightmares for a long time to come.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up her courage, washed off the rouge on her face with water, dried it, and then came to the mirror with some fear, carefully examining her face.

It must be said that at forty years old, her skin is still fair and supple, and she takes very good care of herself.

But when she searched her memories of Ye Qingxian, the other woman was truly rosy-cheeked and fair-skinned, like a young girl, as if time had left no trace on her. Suddenly, Tang Yuehua's gaze froze.

"Crack-"

The mirror shattered.

Tang Yuehua broke down in tears.

She noticed three fine lines at the corners of her eyes; they were subtle, but real!

From a distance, her skin appears smooth, but upon closer inspection, it is noticeably different from that of a young girl.

She was deeply hurt!

Lin Xiao had been gone for a while, but Tang Yuehua broke down on her own.

……

In the afternoon.

Tang Yuehua composed herself and arranged to meet Ye Qingxian.

She wore heavy makeup, with a lot of powder on her face.

She used to look down on heavy makeup, thinking it was ugly and unlike light makeup which looked natural. But today, she unusually wore heavy makeup.

The purpose of this meeting with Ye Qingxian was not only to maintain their relationship, but also to resolve some of the conflicts between herself and Lin Xiao.

Also, she wanted to get a closer look at Ye Qingxian to see if she could find any fine lines on her face.

It's probably for the sake of psychological comfort...

However, Ye Qingxian refused Tang Yuehua's invitation to meet.

This gave her a bad feeling and made her inexplicably uneasy.

Tang Yuehua's intuition told her that she absolutely had to see Ye Qingxian today, otherwise she might never have another chance.

After repeated requests, Ye Qingxian agreed.

However, Ye Qingxian walked with a cold gait this time, and only said three sentences after she came over.

"Lin Xiao is one of the most important people to me. You shouldn't bypass me to find him."

"We should stop all contacting each other from now on, and the supply of medicinal herbs from Haotian Sect has also been stopped."

"It won't happen again."

Then, despite Tang Yuehua's desperate attempts to persuade him to stay, he left without a care.

Tang Yuehua gave up.

However, before Ye Qingxian left, she took a closer look at the other person's face, and it was truly... flawless.

Ye Qingxian's casual remark, though surprising, immediately broke her composure.

Why are you wearing such heavy makeup?

After Ye Qingxian left, Tang Yuehua burst into tears.

Are these two, master and apprentice, cut from the same mold?

You've got a real nail in her head, haven't you!

……

The middle-aged Soul Master did not listen to Tang Yuehua's words.

How could an ordinary person become the head of Yuexuan if she weren't the sect leader's sister? And how could she be qualified to command people like us!
They are noble Soul Masters!
Tang Yuehua was unaware that although the Haotian Sect seemed to be delegating power to her, the real power actually resided with the Elders' Council.

The middle-aged Soul Masters also pledged allegiance to the elders.

The middle-aged Soul Master reported Lin Xiao's situation and that of the Power Clan to the elders of the Clear Sky Sect, which enraged several elders, who then issued a clear order:

We have to teach Lin Xiao a lesson.

His Haotian Sect remains the number one sect in the world!
It's one thing for the Spirit Hall to bully others, but who is Lin Xiao anyway?
As for Dugu Bo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Ye family, etc. behind Lin Xiao, the Haotian Sect doesn't take them seriously at all.

Not killing Lin Xiao was already giving Ning Fengzhi face.

Considering that Tang Yuehua might obstruct the execution of the Elders' Council's orders, a secret order was issued that Tang Yuehua must not be aware of this plan!
The elders decided to make an example of him to warn others and establish the prestige of the Emperor.

It's also about giving Titan a good talking-to.

Even if the Power Clan is abandoned.

They're still just dogs of the Haotian Sect!
