C10 Throw It out

"I am the esteemed young master of the Wang Family; how dare you address me with such disrespect?" Wang Fei was seething with anger. Upon hearing Qin Yuxuan's words, a flash of rage crossed his face.

He assumed Qin Yuxuan was too young to be associated with the Tianming Pavilion, as Talisman Masters were generally older.

Being from one of the city's three major families, who would dare provoke the young master of the Wang Family? Now, here was a woman speaking to him with such audacity, and naturally, it infuriated him!

"The Wang Family? Quite bold of you to come to the Tianming Pavilion and interfere with our matters!" Qin Yuxuan's expression turned icy.

As a disciple of the Pavilion Master, she had every right to dismiss the Wang Family with contempt.

"I'm merely stating the obvious. This fellow is nothing but a servant from the Lin Family. He understands the Talisman? That's laughable!" Wang Fei scoffed with disdain.

His rage was boiling over. Initially, he had just wanted to confront Xiao Yu, the young man who had offended him, but he hadn't expected Ye Wenxuan to appear first, and now a girl even more brazen than him, completely ignoring his presence.

"He doesn't understand the Talisman?" Qin Yuxuan's smile grew even colder.

Could someone ignorant of the Talisman instruct him on how to inscribe a Spirit-drawing Talisman? Could someone incapable of Talisman inscription be someone his master was eager to meet? If even his master couldn't inscribe the Spirit-drawing Talisman, and if Xiao Yu was clueless about the Talisman, then what were she and her master?

"I don't care what you think you are, but this is the Tianming Pavilion. The reach of the Wang Family doesn't extend here, and you certainly have no say in our affairs!" Qin Yuxuan, livid with anger, commanded, "Guards, throw this man out!"

At her words, Wang Fei's complexion underwent a drastic change. Though he had his suspicions, he had clung to the slim hope that Qin Yuxuan might not actually belong to the Tianming Pavilion.

Now that Qin Yuxuan had summoned the people of Tianming Pavilion, it was clear that she was undoubtedly a member, and likely one with considerable status.

No sooner had the words been spoken than several men clad in sturdy attire stepped forward, encircling Wang Fei. Given Tianming Pavilion's standing in Giant Stone City, they possessed the requisite force to uphold their dominance. These individuals were typically tasked with expelling troublemakers, and each was exceptionally strong.

"You...you can't do this to me. I am the young master of the Wang Family, a guest of Tianming Pavilion. You have no right to treat me this way!" Wang Fei was visibly shaken.

What was Tianming Pavilion, after all? If they decided to throw someone out, they meant it—no gentle escorts. The Wang Family might be powerful, but they couldn't contend with Tianming Pavilion in Giant Stone City.

"This man has insulted a distinguished guest of Tianming Pavilion and has incited our servants to err. Cast him out, and let him never set foot in Tianming Pavilion again!"

Despite her youth and beauty, Qin Yuxuan issued her command with unwavering clarity, exuding an air of authority.

"A distinguished guest of Tianming Pavilion? Impossible! How could this good-for-nothing be considered distinguished? He's nothing but a lowly servant from the Lin Family!"

Wang Fei's complexion turned ghostly pale, and his eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Xiao Yu. How had this man, who had been severely beaten by the Lin Family for a slight, suddenly become a distinguished guest of Tianming Pavilion? If Xiao Yu held such a status, how could the Lin Family have dared to mistreat him?

Moreover, the fact that Qin Yuxuan could issue such a decree, banning him from Tianming Pavilion forever, spoke volumes about her own extraordinary status. Such commands were not within the purview of the average person.

Who was this young woman, and what was her true standing within Tianming Pavilion? Wang Fei's mind raced with these questions, his anxiety mounting by the second.

The situation quickly resolved itself as several martial artists from Tianming Pavilion sprang into action, rigorously enforcing Qin Yuxuan's orders. They tossed Wang Fei out the door as if he were mere garbage.

It's common knowledge that the entrance of Tianming Pavilion sees a daily throng of visitors, including many from the city's prominent families. Wang Fei, being the young master of the Wang Family, was well-known. While no one would dare cross the Wang Family, there were still plenty of onlookers who couldn't resist pointing and whispering among themselves.

"Haha, Wang Fei, that's quite a pose you've struck. You've really captured the essence of a dog scooping up scraps—impressive indeed! I have no doubt that by the end of today, all of Giant Stone City will be talking about how Young Master Wang has perfected such a divine technique!"

Ye Wenxuan couldn't resist joining in. Witnessing Wang Fei's pitiful state sprawled on the ground, he couldn't help but loudly jeer at him, a wide grin spreading across his face.

The crowd, initially hesitant to laugh, now erupted into boisterous laughter at Ye Wenxuan's biting commentary.

"My young master, are you alright?" The Wang Family's servants hurried over, helping Wang Fei to his feet.

"Get away from me!" Wang Fei's expression was dark as a storm cloud.

He shot Ye Wenxuan a venomous glare, yet found himself at a loss for words.

Surrounded by a cacophony of mocking and jeering stares, Wang Fei's face turned a shade so dark it seemed he might bleed from sheer humiliation.

"Xiao Yu!" he seethed through clenched teeth.

This embarrassing episode—being thrown out of Tianming Pavilion—would undoubtedly spread like wildfire throughout the city's elite. To be cast out so ignominiously would surely become a source of ridicule.

Moreover, this incident not only tarnished his own reputation but also cast a shadow over the Wang Family's standing. He might even face punishment upon returning home, given that Tianming Pavilion was an entity even the Wang Family would think twice before provoking.

In his mind, Wang Fei laid all the blame squarely at Xiao Yu's feet. No longer concerned with the intricacies of Xiao Yu's connection to Tianming Pavilion, his only thought was the indignity he had suffered at Xiao Yu's hands—and his resolve that Xiao Yu would not get off lightly.

Without giving it much thought, the crowd around them swelled. Wang Fei, with a scowl etched on his face, quickly ushered his servants away from the scene. Even Ye Wenxuan, who had been loudly taunting, didn't dare to engage any further.

"Leaving so soon, Young Master Wang? That technique you just displayed was truly impressive. Why not stick around and show us all how to master such an incredible skill?"

Ye Wenxuan's sharp tongue was relentless. As he watched Wang Fei make his hasty retreat, he couldn't resist shouting after him.

Wang Fei, shaking with rage, didn't dare to pause or look back to retort, fleeing as though his life depended on it.

"Damn, seeing that guy take such a beating really makes my day!" Ye Wenxuan was in high spirits.

His thoughts turned to Xiao Yu, whom he had never met, yet suddenly felt a strong liking for. The fact that Xiao Yu had managed to get Tianming Pavilion to act on his behalf piqued Ye Wenxuan's curiosity about their relationship.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu had no interest in witnessing the commotion at the Tianming Pavilion's entrance.

Qin Yuxuan had taken a bold step, throwing Wang Fei out the door. Considering that Wang Fei was from the Wang Family, Tianming Pavilion, while not fearful, typically preferred not to antagonize them needlessly.

Moved by her actions, Xiao Yu accepted Qin Yuxuan's invitation to meet her master. After all, his visit to Tianming Pavilion was to discuss certain matters.

As for the attendant who had tried to send him away, Xiao Yu signaled for him to be spared any trouble. He was, after all, just an attendant, and Xiao Yu had no desire to make a fuss over such a trivial matter.
