Chapter 378 First Day Out?
Just as Savannah was about to step up and take on Arlo in a fight, a clear and pleasant femalevoice rang out.
The next second, three figures walked into the inn, causing everyone's eyes to light up.
Two of the women looked like they were in their thirties, exuding endless charm with every movethey made. They were like ripe peaches that had been picked at just the right time.
But it was the young woman among them who was truly stunning. She looked like a fairy who hadstepped out of a painting - her demeanor pure and holy, as if she were an ice goddess. Herbeautiful eyes were calm and serene, but any man who caught even a glimpse of them would feelas though he could drown in their depths.
When Arlo saw these three people - especially the breathtakingly beautiful young woman - heimmediately lost his arrogance.
"Phoebe! What brings you here?"
Although this domineering Mr. Hernandez usually acted tough around others, he now approachedPhoebe with flattery written all over his face. He smiled so wide.
Phoebe glanced at him but didn't show any particular reaction. Instead, she turned her gazetowards Savannah and Lachlan before saying calmly, "I am Phoebe Bishop from Hudpids Sect -responsible for maintaining order before the Clan Grand Competition begins. If you both have whatit takes to compete against each other, then why not wait until then? It's best not to cause troublebeforehand."
As Phoebe spoke, her tone grew increasingly icy, and simultaneously, a sharp and chilling auraemanated from her.
In an instant, the temperature on the inn's first floor seemed to plummet below freezing, causingmany to shiver involuntarily.
Although Lachlan remained composed and unaffected, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!
Mid-Core Formation stage?? Damn! This cold girl was quite powerful, huh? Considering her age,barely in her twenties, a few years younger than himself, yet she had reached the mid-stage of CoreFormation?
Hudpids Sect was indeed remarkable on the hidden martial arts level! The onlookers couldn't helpbut stir up a commotion in the presence of the Hudpids Sect's young mistress.
Awe, admiration, and amazement filled the air.
"Is she the young mistress of Hudpids Sect? Her strength is truly terrifying!"
"Is this the aura of a Core Formation expert?"
"She's so beautiful!"
At this moment, Arlo wore a wry smile and showed no sign of displeasure towards Phoebe. "Alright,alright! No problem! Phoebe, since you said so, I'll let them go for now."
"Hmm," Phoebe nodded lightly.
Arlo chuckled, then pointed at Lachlan and Savannah, sneering, "The two useless ones from theGraham family, you should thank Phoebe for saving your lives!"
Savannah furrowed her brow but remained silent.
Perhaps due to female jealousy and comparison, she didn't hold much affection for Phoebe. Shebelieved that after restoring her feminine form, her looks were definitely not inferior to Phoebe's.
Regarding talent, she thought that if she had grown up in the hidden martial arts realm from a youngage, she might have reached Phoebe's level.
Lachlan chuckled, "Sorry, we really don't need to. It should be you thanking her for saving your life!"
Upon hearing this, the scene erupted in an uproar. Everyone looked at Lachlan with a hint ofastonishment in their eyes.
No one expected him to say such words.
He was really an impulsive young man who still refused to back down even now?
Phoebe looked at Lachlan with displeasure as her beautiful eyes flashed with disdainful expressionwhile speaking indifferently, "Are you from the Graham family? Is this your first time going out? Thisis a circle where strength rules everything; if you don't have any ability or power, then it's better foryou to keep low-key and restrained yourself instead of being arrogant."
At this moment, Hudpids Sect's beautiful female leader seemed like she was teaching Lachlan in anoverbearing manner.
In her eyes, his behavior seemed somewhat ridiculous and childish - he acted like someone whodidn't know his place.novelbin
"How do you know I don't have any power?" asked Lachlan calmly.
Hearing this question made Phoebe pause as surprise flickered across her gaze because she neverexpected that someone from the Graham family would dare question her authority.
"Okay then... let's see what kind of abilities you possess during the competition," said Phoebe coollybefore turning around and walking out without further interest in talking with such an impulsiveperson like him anymore.
The other two women beside her also gave Lachlan a contemptuous glance before leaving togetherwith Arlo following behind them obediently.
Lachlan stood there silently as he coldly snorted inwardly; although Phoebe did not say anything tooexcessive, it was still unpleasant for him because of how high-and-mighty attitude towards him.
Well then... let's wait until we see what happens later on!
After a moment, Lachlan and Savannah also left the inn, both ready to go out and explore, take inthe scenery.
Of course, Savannah had no intention of accompanying Lachlan!
At this point, she only felt annoyance and disdain towards this man.
But Lachlan seemed oblivious to her feelings and followed behind her. He sincerely said, "Althoughit wasn't necessary, thank you for earlier."
Hearing this, Savannah turned around with a sneer on her face. "Not necessary?"
"Heh, Mr. Willis, can you stop your ridiculous arrogance and self-righteousness? You, at mid-stageUppecia, have no right to challenge someone at the peak of Uppecia. Now, you're saying you don'tneed my help?"
"I think if you really have some powerful background, you should just tuck your tail and go back toyour family! The outside world is too dangerous for you; it's not suitable."
"Do you know how childish your behavior is?"
"Your attempt to appear strong and principled only makes people laugh, and it's turned my familyinto a joke!"
"Just because you got kicked, if you have no strength, just endure it. Is that so hard?" This talentedyoung woman from the Graham family seemed to release all the negative emotions she had beenholding onto onto Lachlan at that moment.
Lachlan, upon hearing this, looked at her for a long time, then chuckled self-mockingly, "Is that so?Sorry to have amused you! But rest assured, this time I'll ensure your family's status even if it's justfor the thirty percent of cultivation resources you blocked me from. That's all there is to say."
With that, Lachlan shrugged and turned to leave in the opposite direction.
"Is that so? Well, thank you," Savannah sneered.
She had wanted to say something to mock Lachlan further, but for some reason, sensing his self-mocking tone and watching his departing figure, she found herself at a loss for words.
Had she gone too far? Even if he had mediocre talent and tended to be overbearing, it seemed hehadn't truly offended her in any way.
