Chapter 2017 - 2018: Peerless in All the World (Second Update)
Chapter 2017: Chapter 2018: Peerless in All the World (Second Update)
Seeing this scene, Jiang Hongzhe let out a long breath and sneered, "It’s over! Third Grandfather has completely exploded with rage, and what awaits this guy will surely be... huh?"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Hongzhe’s eyes almost popped out.
Because just at that moment, Xue An slowly extended his hand, gently stroking Ou Haiyang’s head full of silver hair, and said lightly, "At your age, why are you still so irritable?"
The tone and action were as if he were talking to a pet dog at home.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Jiang Hongzhe could hardly believe his eyes and murmured softly, "This... how can this be possible?"
And Ou Haiyang was staring at Xue An with a face full of fear.
Because at this moment, he suddenly realized that under this almost insulting head-patting by the white-clothed youth, he couldn’t move even a finger.
It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he couldn’t even muster a single thought of resistance.
This bizarre phenomenon left his heart infinite shock.
At this moment, Xue An raised his hand and sniffed, then frowned slightly, "You need to wash your hair! Let me help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a spark suddenly rose from Ou Haiyang’s head and instantly spread out, setting his once-proud head of silver hair ablaze.
Boom!
The flames shot skyward, and Ou Haiyang’s head instantly turned into a torch, while a pungent smell of burnt hair permeated the air.
Jiang Hongzhe was so frightened he could hardly stand, and the others also showed faces of terror.
But in an instant, the flames vanished into invisibility.
Looking again at Ou Haiyang now, all the hair on his head had been burnt off, leaving a shiny bald head.
Only then did Xue An nod in satisfaction, "Now it looks much easier on the eyes!"
Ou Haiyang felt a profound sense of helplessness, his heart filled with hatred for this white-clothed youth, yet he dared not show it, opting to remain lying on the ground in this ridiculous position, matched with his new hairdo.
But no one present could laugh.
Just then, Xue An turned to look at the sky outside the private room and sighed softly, "It’s about time, they should be arriving!"
What’s arriving?
The crowd was puzzled.
Suddenly, four beams of light appeared in the sky outside the window, rushing towards Tenglong Building at remarkable speed.
In the blink of an eye, the beams broke through the private room’s glass and landed on the ground.
When the light scattered, it was Zhao Xuehui, Qiao Le, Yang Binyi, and Yuan Mengying.
Upon seeing it was these four.
The room fell into complete silence.
Jiang Hongzhe’s heart was stirring with waves of shock.
Though due to his status, he had no direct access to high-level figures like Zhao Xuehui.
He had seen these familiar faces more than once on television or the internet.
The sudden appearance of these figures left him deeply shocked.
But this was only the beginning.
When Zhao Xuehui, Qiao Le, and the others entered the private room, their eyes immediately fell on Xue An sitting on the sofa not far away.
Because of familiarity, they were not obscured by the Heavenly Dao Laws.
This led to expressions of excitement on all their faces.
Led by Zhao Xuehui, all four took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed deeply to Xue An.
"Greetings, Mr. Xue!"
At this moment, they paid genuine respect to Xue An’s return, disregarding age and seniority.
After all... Xue An was the one who saved Earth from peril multiple times and personally initiated this era of cultivation!
In light of such meritorious deeds and prestige, even the elder brother Zhao Xuehui had to show his respect.
Boom!
Their actions were like dropping a heavy bomb in this private room, leaving everyone dizzy with shock.
What?
Even the three giants of Tianyuan Group had to show such respect to this white-clothed youth and address him as Mr. Xue!
That revealed the identity of this white-clothed youth!
Because on Earth, only one person was worthy of being called Mr. Xue!
It was the unparalleled Sage Xue who roamed The Multiverse!
At this thought, everyone’s face changed instantly.
The Sect Master of the Five Poisons Sect, Lü Yang, who had been kneeling in contemplation on how to escape, didn’t even hesitate upon hearing these words and flipped his eyes, fainting from fright.
Shi Teng, who had been swindling money using Xue An’s name, was also dumbfounded.
Turns out he was the Sage Xue himself!
Shi Teng suddenly became excited.
As for Ou Haiyang, who had previously gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking of how to get revenge, upon understanding Xue An’s identity, he nearly bit his own tongue off.
Then, he looked at Xue An with a face full of horror, all his hate evaporating instantly.
Because you might hate someone on a similar level as you, but when the person is incomparably strong, you can’t even hate them.
After the commotion, the room gradually settled into silence.
Because Zhao Xuehui and the others remained bowing in respect!
Yet Xue An sat on the sofa with a calm demeanor, seemingly indifferent to it.
The atmosphere became ever more tense.
Sweat began to appear on the foreheads of Zhao Xuehui, Qiao Le, and Yang Binyi.
A trace of doubt flashed in Yuan Mengying’s heart.
What’s going on?
In the past, Mr. Xue was not like this; despite his noble status, he was always warm and friendly towards the three CEOs.
What happened today?
Yet she dared not ask, only bowing deeply and remaining motionless.
This scene was also witnessed through the door crack by Li Xingwei outside the room.
His blood nearly ran cold.
Then he started celebrating crazily.
Luckily he hadn’t gone too far earlier, or he wouldn’t know how he might die.
Because even his three bosses and Secretary Yuan had to obediently stand there without moving, who was he?
Time gradually passed.
Sweat droplets trickled down Zhao Xuehui and the others’ foreheads.
Finally.
Xue An sighed longly, "You may all stand up!"
Though he said so, Zhao Xuehui and the others still didn’t move.
Only Yuan Mengying cautiously raised her head to look at Xue An.
Xue An nodded slightly at her, "Miss Yuan!"
Miss Yuan’s face turned pale with fright, nodding hurriedly in return, "Mr... Mr. Xue!"
Xue An smiled, then looked at the three still bowing figures, sighed softly, and said, "Elder brother, Third brother, Fourth brother, you may all get up!"
Only then did the three slowly rise, yet dared not speak; only Qiao Le, whose skin was the thickest, called out softly to Xue An, "Second brother!"
Xue An nodded, then stood up, slowly walked to the window, and gazed at the bustling city below, silent for a long time.
The atmosphere in the private room was suffocatingly oppressive.
