Chapter 143 This Is Not Good

Sikong Bai's simple words revealed too much information.

Even Xu Han was stunned.

Long Night Division, Zhu Xian, Ye Hongjian, marriage alliance.

Together, these events meant that the Linglong Pavilion's bet had shifted from the Tian Ce Mansion to the Long Night Division. If news of this spread, it would be enough to cause an earthquake in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xu Han didn't know what had caused Sikong Bai to change his mind.

However, one thing Xu Han understood was that since Sikong Bai had made up his mind to cooperate with the Longevity Division, Tiance Prefecture was bound to become the enemy of the Linglong Pavilion. As for the identity of the Headmaster's disciple, it instantly changed from his life-saving talisman to a life-urging curse.

At that time, Xu Han subconsciously looked at Ning Zhumang and Zhong Changhen, who were sitting at the side. However, he saw that the two of them had indifferent expressions. They looked at each other with their eyes, noses, and hearts, as if nothing had to do with the two of them.

Xu Han felt a little relieved. He could tell that since the two of them had yet to reveal their identities, they were still standing on the side of the Tian Ce Mansion.

"Of course I know that you and Hongjian were childhood sweethearts, but this matter concerns the survival of the Linglong Pavilion and the destiny of the world. The sons and daughters should give way. I believe that with Deacon Xu's heart, he should understand this principle, right?" Sikong Bai's voice sounded again at that time. His eyes were still filled with laughter, and his voice was benevolent, as if he was being guided by an elder who was teaching his junior.

Xu Han frowned.

He was a little confused, but after hearing this news, his heart was somewhat annoyed.

He did not answer Sikong Bai 's question, but raised his head to look at Ye Hongjian.

However, the other party only lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not saying anything.

Although Xu Han knew that Ye Hongjian had Ye Hongjian's concerns, when he saw the other party's expression, he was still somewhat disappointed.

"Deacon Xu, why aren't you speaking? Where's that momentum just now?" Long Congyun, who was standing beside him, finally found an opportunity and asked mockingly at that time.

However, Xu Han still did not answer Sikong Bai's question.

"Deacon Xu, don't be too sad. After I dismantle your marriage, I naturally have to make up for it. I heard that Elder Lu of Xuanhe Peak sat down and a disciple called Qin Keqing. He is gentle and considerate. He has a very good relationship with Deacon Xu. If not, I will make the decision today and agree to your marriage. What do you think?"

Sikong Bai said again at that time. He looked at Xu Han with a smile and a kind tone.

However, Xu Han's body trembled at that moment. He raised his head to look at Sikong Bai, who was standing on the high platform, and a hostile aura surged in his eyes.

How could this be taking advantage of the beauty of others? This was clearly coercion and temptation.

Xu Han did not know how Sikong Bai knew about the relationship between him and Qin Keqing, but he thought that what happened in the Exquisite Pavilion could not be concealed from his eyes.

Xu Han did not like this.

He could clearly feel the mocking or sympathetic gazes of the people around him at that time.

Many years ago, Xu Han had felt this gaze more than once when he was only a beggar.

This gaze made Xu Han deeply feel powerless. He had spent four to five years trying to escape this powerlessness, so he entered the Dark Asura Palace and suffered a lot. However, in the end, everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

He lowered his head even deeper, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white, and veins bursting out.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to be the same beggar.

It was useless and at the mercy of others.

Of course, he could choose to surrender. After all, Ye Hongjian did not object to this. He could just let it go and find a way to escape from this place and live a peaceful and carefree life.

But Xu Han was unwilling.

Back then, the reason he entered the Dark Asura Palace was to realize that if he was forever a beggar, he would one day be as helpless as he was when he saw Qin Keqing being bought when he encountered the things he wanted to protect.

Because of this, he took the risk.

If he didn't do anything now, then what was the meaning of the suffering and life and death he had experienced when he entered the Dark Asura Palace?

He used to live in a wealthy family just because he was a beggar, but now, he would not let Sikong Bai do as he pleased because he was an Earthly Immortal.

He is Xu Han.

Xu Han, who refused to accept his fate!

…

The main hall of the World-saving Palace was terrifyingly silent.

At that moment, everyone turned their gazes to the youth standing in the hall.

They were waiting for his answer, the one they had expected.

The youth slowly raised his head.

He looked at Sikong Bai, his calm eyes without the slightest hesitation. He looked straight at this heaven-shading immortal, neither dodging nor dodging.

"This is not good."

He said.

The voice was also calm, as if these three simple words were not statements, but rather orders from the superior to the inferior.

Some heavy breathing sounds resounded in the main hall of the Jishi Prefecture, and Xu Han's answer exceeded everyone's expectations.

They couldn't understand what gave this youth so much courage to question an immortal's order.

Ye Hongjian's lowered head suddenly raised at that time. She looked at the youth, her beautiful eyes flashing.

Zhong Changhen nodded gently without revealing any traces.

Ning Zhumang did not look sideways, but the corner of his mouth hooked into a smile.

Even Long Congyun opened his mouth wide in surprise at Xu Han's courageous expression.

"Not good?" Sikong Bai narrowed his eyes. He repeated Xu Han's words, and the imposing aura of the Immortal Realm suddenly swept over like a tide, surging towards Xu Han.

At that moment, Xu Han's face turned pale and his body shook, almost falling to the ground.

However, he still clenched his teeth, straightened his back, and repeated his words.

"Very bad."

"Interesting." The smile on Sikong Bai's face faded away at that moment. The cold light in his eyes narrowed and the imposing aura surging towards Xu Han rose again.

"Do you know that just because I ask you doesn't mean I have to win your consent?"

Under the majestic pressure, Xu Han felt as if his chest was being pressed against a thousand jun heavy stones, making it difficult for him to breathe.

His entire body was filled with pain. The strength of this Immortal Realm was truly too terrifying. As long as Sikong Bai was willing, a single glance would be enough to take Xu Han's life.

Even so, Xu Han's gaze towards Sikong Bai did not show the slightest intention of retreating. He continued to look straight at the immortal.

He paused word by word and said with difficulty and certainty.

"What I said isn't good, but it doesn't mean that I need Senior's approval."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone at the table changed drastically. This Xu Han's audacity had already exceeded everyone's expectations. Such words actually didn't give Si Black any face. Wasn't he afraid that he would be struck by Si Black's palm?

Sikong Bai obviously did not expect Xu Han to dare to say such words. His expression suddenly brightened after a period of darkness and uncertainty. Then, he sat back in his seat, and the majestic aura dissipated by him at that time.

Having lost the pressure and coercion, Xu Han's body lightened. He staggered and almost fell over. Ye Hongjian, who was watching from the side, was shocked. She had the urge to step forward several times to support Xu Han, but because of the obscene might of the Supreme Elder beside her, she was unwilling to act recklessly.

"You're fine. The Dao Discussion Conference in a month's time will be the engagement day between Hongjian and the son of Zhu Xian. I want to see how you can stop this marriage!" Sikong Bai said coldly, killing intent surging between his eyebrows.

Hearing this, Xu Han managed to stabilize his staggered body with difficulty. An ugly smile appeared on his pale face.

"I will live up to Senior's expectations."
