Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang's cold and murderous gaze shocked everyone. Yang Tie was an Immortal Emperor, too, but he was shocked and shivered when being stared at by Shi Lang. 

He quickly asked, "Young Master, what is it? Did Elfie do anything?" 

Shi Lang matched the gaze of the Pavillion master and asked coldly, "Are you really that clueless, or are you trying to fool me? I feel sorry for you if it is the former, but if it is the latter, I must say that your acting skills are amazing." 

His tone was indifferent and distant. It even made Yun Xue wonder if this was the same Shi Lang. Even though the words were not aimed at her, she felt cold.

Yang Tie was shocked, too, but his reasons were completely different. He was thinking about what Shi Lang just said. With those thoughts in his mind, he could not help but turn to look at Elfie, who was hiding behind him. 

Shi Lang asked, "Lady, either you come clean about how you influence my thoughts, or I dig it out from the depth of your soul." 

His pupils were changing color to a darker shade of red with lightning flickering inside them. Elfie shivered and replied, "Young Master, it is my innate ability. I have no control over it." 

Shi Lang narrowed his eyes and asked, "What ability is it?" 

Elfie replied, "My bloodline has a trace of the Snow Fox. After seventy generations, I am the only one who has awakened this ability to influence the people around me." 

While the people were shocked, Elfie knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shi Lang. She knocked her head on the ground and said, "Young Master, I swear on my cultivation that I never had any ill-intention and do not use the ability deliberately. Please forgive me. This pavilion is my home. Do not kick me out." 

Yang Tie looked at her and wanted to say something in her defense. After all, this young assistant had been working with him for quite a long time. It would be a lie for him to say he had no other feelings. 

The rest of the staff was the same. They knew this girl, and she had never caused them any trouble. They all wished to speak, but Shi Lang's aura scared the shit out of them. Yun Xue felt bad for Elfie. The girl may not have met her very long ago, but she did not have any ill intentions. 

Shi Lang looked at everyone and sighed. His aura dwindled, and with a wave of his hand, Elfie stood up. Shi Lang clasped his fist and bowed to her. He said, "I apologize for scaring you and making you kneel. You have done nothing wrong, and despite any reason, I overreacted. It is just that things outside are not all kind. Forgive me for the harm I have caused to your self-esteem." 

Elfie raised her head and looked at Shi Lang in disbelief. This young man was bowing to her and even apologized on the spot. This thing took more courage than killing her. Shi Lang was a highly respectable person in the pavilion, and he apologized to her instantly. This was not something many people were capable of doing. 

Elfie shook her head and said, "Young Master, I am at fault. I should have told everyone about this." 

Shi Lang shook his head and raised his hand to stop her from speaking. He said, "Everyone has the right to keep their secrets. I am in the wrong by acting so blatantly. I forgot to take into account the fact that your words did not make me do anything harmful. The feeling of losing control was the reason I lost control. I apologize to you sincerely. However, I hope you could train in this aspect and improve your ability to the point where it could save lives." 

Elfie covered her mouth as tears fell from her eyes. The people all saw Shi Lang bowing and apologizing publically. He did not put on any airs. It was true that they were surprised when they thought about it if they were to be in his place. They might all react the same way. 

Shi Lang was kind enough to ask for clarification. He even disregards the spiritual beast bloodline that Elfie possessed. If it were some other family, Elfie would have been treated in a manner that was nothing but inhumane. 

The Terran raised his head and said, "What happened here is not to be leaked. Suppose I discovered that Elfie's identity had been divulged outside these halls and that it led the people in the city to look down on her. Or commit any other lowly action. I will use the head of the guilty person as compensation." 

The forgers were shocked. Shi Lang did not stop. He continued, "This is the heavenly dragon pavilion. We all stand united and are a family. It is normal to have different opinions and disputes in the family. However, never let a third person step in and gain from our differences. This act of treason is punishable by family laws and is a capital sin. Only blood can clean such actions. Understood?" 

The people nodded like they were puppets, and that said, Shi Lang left the auction hall quickly. Yun Xue wanted to follow him, but he said, "Go visit the city and scout." 

Yun Xue nodded, then moved out with Bo Qingtan and Elfie. 

Old Man Huang said, "Pavilion Master, it seems to me that Young Master is not just a talent but a monstrous one."

Yang Tie sighed and said, "Old Huang, do you think a normal talent can pass a red heavenly tribulation? He is decisive, and he is virtuous. He did not hesitate to bow to acknowledge his mistake on the spot and humble himself. We cannot measure him with any scale, let alone the ordinary one."

They were in awe when the people heard that Shi Lang had passed a red heavenly tribulation. This was something they did not even imagine. Old Huang said, "Well, that is something you do not hear even in a hundred years." 

Yang Tie chuckled and said, "Wait till I tell you what happened at the city gates." 

While the bunch of people gossiped, Shi Lang gave himself a tour around the pavilion. He found that this place deals not only in artifacts and weapons but also medicine and arrays. 

The business or array inscribing was very popular, it seemed. People would bring their old artifacts and have them serviced by an array master. Shi Lang did attract the attention of all the staff members, but they did not stop him. 

In the absence of the masters and grandmasters, their apprentices manned the pavilion. These people did not offend anyone. They did not fear trouble but did not wish to get scolded. The terran did not know if this was the management's foresight or the elegance of working in a force backed by one of the most prominent figures in the immortal world. 

As Shi Lang was dwelling, he sensed a spiritual sense washing over him, and the next moment, Yang Tie appeared before him. Shi Lang asked, "What is it?" 

Yang Tie clenched his fist and said, "Zhu Lin has sent a message." 

Shi Lang raised his brows and asked, "What is it?" 

The pavilion master said, "Young Master, I think it would be better if you saw it in person." 

Shi Lang was curious. He nodded, and Yang Tie led him to the pavilion's main hall. When they arrived, a lot of people were gathered. They parted to allow the two to move through. The terran spotted the object in the center of the hall. He narrowed his eyes and walked closer. 

His face was calm, and his steps were steady. The other people in the hall were pale from the sight. Shi Lang walked around the object and said, "To think that the third Young Master of the Zhu Family will flay his servant alive and use his skin as a letter and his blood as ink to seek apology? Does he not understand that this is an act of war?" 

The people were surprised. Yang Tie said, "Young Master, we cannot fight with the Zhu Family so abruptly." 

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Wars do not demand spilling blood every time, Brother Yang. Sometimes, they are played with minds, and the enemy is bought to his knees without drawing the blades." 

Yang Tie did not understand what Shi Lang said. The terran smiled and said, "Do you think anyone saw this?" 

Yang Tie shook his head and said, "This was delivered in a carriage. I doubt anyone saw it." 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Zhu Lin wants to show us that he is cruel and intimidating. However, I have an idea to show the world that he is cruel and sick." 

Yang Tie was hooked and asked, "Please tell me what you are thinking of, Young Master?" 

Shi Lang smirked, and the people shivered. They respected this person, but they feared him more.
