Xi Shen was slightly taken aback by this because despite the main dining room being a good distance away from the front gate, he could clearly hear the knock as it echoed throughout the entirety of the mansion.

Xi Shen thought that whoever was knocking on his front gate had extremely good control of their Spiritual Qi, as he or she was able to transmit the sound of the knock through vibrations in the Surrounding Spiritual Qi at such a wide radius.

However, despite this person’s amazing display of Spiritual Qi control, they were obviously trying to be disrespectful by doing such a thing. And Xi Shen was quite annoyed that someone would be so arrogant as to do something like this.

Either this person didn’t know it was his courtyard, or they knew, but just didn’t care it was his.

After the echoing of the knock died down, Xi Shen turn to Yang Su and said, “Yang Su go and see who that rude guest is.”

Yang Su nodded his head before he stood up and went towards the mansion's front courtyard.

As Yang Su approached the mansion's front gates, he was wondering who this person could be to have the audacity to behave like this. Despite not knowing who it was, Yang Su was already hating the person on the other side of the gate.

He wouldn’t support anyone who undermine his elder brother’s presence or authority.

Opening the large gate with relative ease, Yang Su’s expression was completely cold as the image of the person outside came into view.

However, his cold expression fell and was replaced by astonishment when his eyes met the arrogant person who had knocked on their gate. As it turns out, 'she' was an extremely beautiful and alluring young woman.

Yang Su couldn’t help but stare in a daze as he had never seen such a beautiful female before. All the females back in his village who could be considered decent-looking had their appearance obscured by dirt-stained clothes and faces due to manual labor.

Yang Su’s village was rather poor and the men who were responsible for labor were limited, so sadly even the women would sometimes have to help out with tasks that were considered to be the village men’s responsibility.

The beautiful young girl who looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, was unaffected by Yang Su intently staring at her as she had gotten used to such looks by now. However, after a full minute of Yang Su just staring at her, she couldn’t help but become annoyed as she snapped at Yang Su, “Stupid kid, aren’t you going to step aside and let me in?! How dare a lowly servant like you keep me waiting outside!”

Even though Yang Su was Xi Shen's assistant, he was still a member of the Sword Pavilion and was even currently wearing their signature white robes.

Hearing how this young lady was speaking to him, Yang Su’s opinion of her immediately dropped to rock bottom, and his infatuation with her beauty completely vanished.

Staring at this arrogant girl, Yang Su coldly said, “Why should I let you in? Tell me what you want and I’ll relay it to my young master.”

Seeing Yang Su refusing to let her in, as well as the way he spoke to her, the beautiful girl suddenly went from being annoyed to enrage.

“Do you think a mere servant like you has the right to speak to me in such a way?!! Step aside, I don’t have time to waste here!”

After saying that, the beautiful girl step forward and sent out a vicious kick towards the mansion’s large golden gates.

Shocked at this crazy girl’s actions, Yang Su immediately pushed against the ground with his right leg and leaped backward from the gate. He could tell from this girl’s Spiritual Qi fluctuations that her cultivation was far higher than his. If he had stayed and tried to block her kick, he felt that he would have probably been kicked to death.

Yang Su’s decision was right. As soon as he retreated, the girl’s slender and delicate-looking foot landed on the towering golden gates.

A loud bang immediately followed, and Yang Su watched in stun silence as one of the gates flew off its hinges and crashed in the front of the courtyard. The other door wasn't much better off as a large visible dent, which looked like the result of a large boulder hitting it, could be seen on it while it hung on its hinges, which were barely holding it up.

Yang Su stared wide-eyed at this girl as she furiously stepped past the demolished gates and entered the courtyard.

Like an angry lioness, she stomped her way past a pale-faced Yang Su and headed towards the main dining area of the mansion.

As she walked by Yang Su, she shot a glance in his direction which made his entire body go rigid from freight.

After the girl was out of sight, Yang Su couldn’t help but swallow a large gulp. His back was completely soaked with sweat, and he could hear the echo of his racing heart in his ears as it pounded violently against his chest.

“What a frightening lady, are all women cultivators as scary as she is?”

After saying that Yang Su realized that his mouth was extremely dry.

“All I did was say a few words to her and she became so enraged that she destroyed our courtyard’s gates, and almost killed me in the process.”

As Yang Su said that, his gaze landed on the gate laying on the ground. Seeing the damage her one kick did to the massive steel structure, Yang Su shivered at the thought of what would have happened if he hadn’t decided to get out of the way.

After a while, Yang Su turned in the direction of the main dining area, and hearing nothing but silence, he felt worried.

‘What happened? Did she do something to elder brother Shen?’

When that thought appeared in Yang Su’s mind, he became frantic and the fear he felt towards the beautiful girl vanished as he rushed at full speed towards the main dining area.

Yang Su quickly came upon the last corner that led to the main dining area, but a cold chill went down his spine as the figure of the beautiful girl suddenly emerged from that same corner.

Seeing that his speed didn’t allow him to immediately stop and he was about to crash into her, Yang Su made the decision to quickly stomp on the ground and propel himself into the air.

In one swift motion, Yang Su cleared the eight-meter-high wall to his right.

Landing on the ground several meters away from the wall with a soft thud, Yang Su didn’t even pause his steps to look behind him as he headed for the main dining area.

But despite trying to ignore it, he could still feel the piercing gaze of the beautiful girl on his back.

Looking at Yang Su scurrying off, the beautiful girl snorted and was about to turn around, but she suddenly paused and her misty eyes narrowed.

She then looked at the height of the wall Yang Su just cleared, and her delicate features came together into a frown.

Thinking back on Yang Su’s 8th stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivation level, and matching it with his jump just now as well as his quick reaction when she had kicked down the front gates, her brows couldn’t help but furrow even deeper.

However, her features suddenly relaxed and she didn’t place Yang Su's unnaturally fast reaction and jump In her heart. She only snorted once again, before she walked out of the courtyard through the broken gates.

Reaching the main dining area, the sight Yang Su came upon was Xi Shen calmly sipping from his cup.

However, despite Xi Shen’s calm demeanor, Yang Su could see a bright red mark on Xi Shen’s face that looked like someone had hit him there.

Seeing this, Yang Su became curious as to what had happened when that beautiful girl was here.

Another thing he realized was a black envelope that was next to Xi Shen.

Slowly walking to his seat, Yang Su sat down in front of Xi Shen and after some time of him hesitating, Yang Su finally asked, “Um, elder brother Xi Shen, who was that crazy senior sister?”

Hearing Yang Su’s question, Xi Shen calmly place down the cup and then responded, “She’s the deputy leader of the Inner Sect’s Sword Sovereign Faction. One of the stronger factions that were below the top two factions in the Sword Pavilion was the Blade Faction and the Divine Sword Faction. And she was here previously to invite me to join their Sword Sovereign Faction.”

After saying that, Xi Shen raised the cup to his lips and casually took another sip of his tea.

Yang Su trying to ignore the obvious handprint on Xi Shen’s cheek, as he followed up and asked, “I read in the handbook that was within the storage ring I received, that they are quite powerful and have several strong Core Disciples and even Conclave disciples within their faction. Is elder brother thinking of joining them?”
