Divine King of Honour-Chapter 738: Slapping the Face of the Whale Emperor
Xu Nian, seeing everyone around him looking his way, felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
Nonetheless, he still stood up.
"Little Turtle, what are you up to? You wouldn't happen to be thinking of giving a gift to the Island Master as well, would you? What kind of treasure could you possibly present?" The Whale Clan Princess, upon seeing Xu Nian actually rising, immediately spoke with mocking derision.
In her view, even if a member of the Xuanwu Clan had a not-so-low status within the clan,
what kind of gift could he possibly offer?
As the words of the junior princess of the Whale Clan came out, the looks from the people around Xu Nian became contemptuous.
A mere Little Xuanwu of the Xuanwu Clan also wanted to personally present a gift to the Dark God Island Master.
Could it be that he wished to curry favor with the Dark God Island Master to someday take over for Emperor Xuanwu?
Thus, everyone turned their attention to Emperor Xuanwu, curious about his reaction. freeweɓnovel.cøm
However, what caught everyone off guard was that Emperor Xuanwu showed not the slightest sign of anger, but instead a hint of a smile.
Could it be that Emperor Xuanwu had deliberately arranged this?
Both the Whale Emperor and Jiao Long Emperor exchanged glances, clearly understanding the meaning behind each other's looks.
Obviously, they believed this Little Xuanwu must have been deliberately arranged by Emperor Xuanwu,
with the purpose of grooming him to be the next Emperor Xuanwu.
Only, their intelligence had no information about this Little Xuanwu.
Could he have been secretly trained by Emperor Xuanwu?
And very well concealed at that.
"Hey, junior, this isn't your place to speak. You'd better sit back down."
The Whale Emperor, upon seeing Xu Nian step forward, deliberately made things difficult for him.
He wanted to see just what this young man was capable of.
If he was easily scared off, there was no need to take him into concern.
If he openly defied, they would simply dispose of him.
In any case, they could not allow Emperor Xuanwu to gain an advantage.
However, what they did not expect was
that the young member of the Xuanwu Clan simply ignored his words and approached the Dark God Island Master, saying, "Junior Xu Nian pays respects to the Island Master. I was not aware of your birthday earlier, so I did not have time to prepare any congratulatory gift..."
"Hmph, you as a junior, even if you'd known in advance, what kind of gift could you have prepared? Little kid, I advise you to step down," the Whale Emperor immediately said dismissively.
"That's right, a junior wanting to present a gift; we don't even have the privilege to do so face to face."
Those from the smaller forces around also voiced their agreement.
It was clear that Xu Nian's action dissatisfied them greatly.
The Whale Clan Princess, hearing the discussions of the people around, also revealed a smug smile.
She looked as if she was waiting to see Xu Nian make a fool of himself.
As for the youth who had been following him, his gaze became even more disdainful.
But just when everyone thought the Dark God Island Master would impatiently send this ignorant youngster away,
the Dark God Island Master actually let out a chuckle.
"Haha, I am already quite happy that you could come. It doesn't matter whether or not you brought a gift. Come, sit beside me; I'd like to have a good chat with you," said the Dark God Island Master kindly.
The look he gave Xu Nian was akin to looking at his own grandson.
Everyone around was stunned.
What's going on?
Did this young man know the Island Master?
Knowing the fact that you could come would make me happy was a statement of no small significance.
The Dark God Island Master's status was not ordinary.
There was absolutely no need to give platitudes to a junior.
Now, by saying so, it only indicated that this young man's relationship with the Island Master was quite out of the ordinary.
The countenances of both the Whale Emperor and the Jiao Long Emperor changed instantly.
The way they looked at Xu Nian shifted.
What most astonished them was that Emperor Xuanwu also showed a look of surprise.
This indicated that even Emperor Xuanwu had no knowledge of this matter.
They were quite puzzled by this.
Even the young men and women from Qingcheng Sect were curiously looking toward Xu Nian.
They all wondered which major power Xu Nian came from.
Xu Nian, however, didn't pay attention to the surprised expressions of those around him, but merely smiled and said, "Island Master, although I haven't prepared any precious gifts, I still want to express my goodwill. This Jade Scroll contains a Secret Technique; please accept it."
"Oh? A Secret Technique?" The Dark God Island Master took the Jade Scroll with curiosity.
The people around all showed mocking expressions.
This guy actually presented a Secret Technique as an appropriate gift?
With the discerning eyes of the Dark God Island Master, how could he possibly care about a Secret Technique?
How could this youngster have the audacity to offer such a thing?
Even people like the Whale Emperor had a mocking look on their faces.
They had thought this young man would present what kind of gift.
It turned out to be just a Secret Technique.
The two young men and women from Qingcheng Sect also showed mocking expressions.
It seems this youngster doesn't come from any major power.
He must have some family relationship with the Dark God Island Master.
However, just when everyone thought the Dark God Island Master wouldn't care about this Secret Technique,
They saw the Dark God Island Master suddenly stand up, with a look of shock on his face.
"Is this... Immortal Law?" exclaimed the Dark God Island Master excitedly.
"Immortal Law?" The people around showed expressions of astonishment.
"Yes, it is indeed Immortal Law. Island Master, if you don't disdain it, please accept this humble offer from me," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Haha, good, then I'll accept it. I didn't expect that I would actually receive an Immortal Law Secret Technique. With this, my chances of successfully crossing the Tribulation are even greater," the Dark God Island Master laughed heartily.
The people around were utterly shocked.
Was it really an Immortal Law Secret Technique?
Doesn't that mean it completely surpasses any Spiritual Technique Secret Technique?
Isn't that the realm of Immortals?
How does this young man possess it?
Even the young couple from Qingcheng Sect showed surprise on their faces.
Immortal Law Secret Technique, even their Master didn't own one.
Within the entire Sect, only their Sect Master possessed one Immortal Law Secret Technique.
Its power was extremely formidable.
They hadn't expected the youngster to use an Immortal Law Secret Technique as a congratulatory gift.
No wonder even the Dark God Island Master was shocked.
This was absolutely a grand gesture.
The Whale Emperor, who had previously scolded Xu Nian, felt his face burning hot.
Even the Whale Clan Princess looked extremely embarrassed.
They hadn't expected Xu Nian to be able to give such a precious gift.
As for the Whale Clan's genius youth, he looked at Xu Nian with increasing jealousy.
His eyes were filled with anger.
Yet, what made them even more distressed occurred.
The Dark God Island Master said with a smile, "Come, Xu Nian, for our first meeting, how could I as your elder not give you a welcoming gift? This is what I'm presenting to you. You'll definitely like it."
After speaking, he waved his sleeve.
A huge True Dragon Skull appeared in everyone's line of sight.
The people around widened their eyes.
The Whale Emperor's face turned even redder.
It was as if someone had slapped him hard on the face.
Because the True Dragon Skull the Dark God Island Master had just brought out was the very same one he had given to the Dark God Island Master just moments ago.
And now, it was being re-gifted to this youngster.
Wasn't this an overt slap in his face?
