Chapter 74: Branch President Wei Yu

  Her icy gaze had already made it clear that Hai Tian was absolutely not joking. The girl could even feel a strong killing intent emanating from Huo Yun's sword.

  This is not a special energy, but purely psychological effect.

  "Alright...alright, I'll go." The girl was frightened and trembled slightly before turning around to leave under the gaze of everyone. As for whether she would harbor any resentment in her heart, that was no longer something Haitian could control.

  "Master Shu Zu, that... later when they come out, can we not reveal the relationship between you and me? After all, this is a bit..." Tuo Ka said with a flushed face, somewhat embarrassed.

  Haitian thought for a moment and understood what Toka meant. He chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't say anything."

  "That's too much thanks." Tuo Ka was overjoyed, although Hai Tian was his junior uncle, but he was really too young, and if he said it out loud, it would be too embarrassing for him, so he had to ask Hai Tian to keep it a secret.

  Time was short, and soon the girl brought a white-haired old man down from the second floor stairs. Before Haitian could take in the appearance of the white-haired old man, he heard his loud voice: "Which little brat dared to threaten my student? Come out, I'll teach you a good lesson."

  "It's indeed true that there are students like teachers." The cold voice of Haitian suddenly rang out.

  Needless to say, the white-haired old man noticed Hai Tian at a glance. However, he didn't immediately come over to bother Hai Tian, but instead carefully sized him up.

  His eyebrows furrowed tighter, he found himself unable to see through Haitian's true strength, as if shrouded in a thick fog, hazy and unclear.

  "Little one, I heard you said that I am all reputation and no substance?" The white-haired old man's gaze was also unfriendly, it seemed the girl who followed him in had added fuel to the fire.

  Perhaps it was because of that girl, but Hai Tian's impression of the white-haired old man wasn't very good either. Although he needed his help now, he still used a questioning tone: "Can you really refine a high-grade Xuan-level sword?"

  "Of course! If one can't refine a high-grade Xuan-level sword, they can't be considered a fifth-grade refiner!" The white-haired old man said this with an air of pride and a self-satisfied expression.

  Although Hai Tian didn't know much about what stage this fifth-grade equipment refiner was at, from the expression on the old man's face, it could be seen that this fifth-grade equipment refiner was probably very formidable.

  Perhaps seeing the white-haired elder didn't speak up for himself, the girl behind him grew anxious and gently tugged on his sleeve, calling out in a spoiled tone: "Teacher!"

  "Ah, yes." The old man with white hair suddenly woke up under the girl's reminder, his proud expression instantly turned extremely cold. "What kind of person are you? Why did you bully my student?"

  "Hmph! Let's ask her what attitude she has first?" Haitian turned around disdainfully.

  If it weren't for helping Wei He remove the seal of the Minotaur clan as soon as possible, Hai Tian wouldn't have come to this Refining Master Guild either. It would be enough to wait until he had time later and refine a high-level Xuan-stage sword himself.

  Jian Haitian not only ignored him, but also turned his back on him. The old man with white hair was so angry that he puffed out his chest and glared at him: "Young people these days are getting more and more arrogant. Today, I'll teach you a lesson as your elder."

  The white-haired old man was about to make a move, and Hai Tian was also ready. His sword sense told him that the old man in front of him was also a Sword Emperor, and he was even a three-star Sword Emperor, far inferior to Tansan.

  His Five Elements Escape Technique can be fully displayed here, and there is no need to fear at all.

  Just as the atmosphere between the two was tense, Toka rushed out in a hurry, with an awkward smile on his face: "Wait! Wait! Don't fight first!"

  "Tokha, how could it be you?" The white-haired old man was surprised. He had just come out and had been focusing his attention on Haitian all along, and hadn't even noticed the others behind Haitian.

  "Lao Wei, don't move your hands first!" Toka Gan laughed and blocked the way between Haitian and the old man, afraid that the two would conflict.

  Haitian relaxed a bit, knowing that with Toka's intervention, the fight was definitely not going to happen, but he still used his heavy nasal tone to express his discontent.

  The old man with white hair, known as Old Wei, was no fool. Seeing the way Toka was acting, and that Toka had followed him, he realized that Haitian and Toka might know each other, perhaps even being related in some way. However, this did not dispel the anger in his heart.

  "Tokka, is this your junior?" Old Wei guessed and continued to hum coldly, "Today I'll take your place and teach this young man what it means to respect the elderly and love the young!"

  As he spoke, Old Wei raised his hand again, scaring Toka into a cold sweat. He hastily opened his arms and used his chest to block the view of the two people.

  "Don't move your hands, don't move your hands, we're all our own people." Tuo Ka hurriedly said with a dry smile.

  "I'm telling you, Toka, aren't you being too overprotective? This isn't good for the younger generation's growth. Sometimes it's better to let them suffer a bit more, so they can learn how to be human!" Seeing Toka's behavior towards Haitian, Old Wei couldn't help but feel unhappy, his tone no longer as cheerful as when he first saw Toka, gradually becoming colder.

  Protect him? Toka secretly smiled wryly in his heart. Although Haitian no longer had the strength of the past, this identity remained unchanged. Moreover, Wei He was also by his side, and if he didn't care about it, then if his master found out later, the consequences would be disastrous!

  Thinking of this, Toka's heart rose again with a wry smile, and he hastily explained: "Wait, he is not my junior!"

  "Isn't he your junior?" Old Wei blinked in surprise, then continued, "Then hurry up and get out of the way, today I must thoroughly teach this arrogant little brat a lesson!"

  "Oh yeah, if you've got the skills, come on then! As long as you can catch me, I'll admit defeat and let you punish me!" Haitian wasn't a pushover either. He could have just let it go for Toka's sake and pretended nothing had happened before.

  But he couldn't stand the old man's repeated provocations, and before Toka could react, he jumped out first.

  At this time, Old Wei was also angered by Hai Tian's arrogant words, his nose twisted in anger, and he shouted: "Good, I'd like to see just how capable you are!"

  Before the words had fallen, Old Wei's hands were already stretched out, clearly intending to grab Haitian. The speed was so fast that it shocked people. Even Toka, who was close at hand, reacted half a beat late.

  "Brother Tian! Be careful!" Xiaoyu and Wei Hai shouted out in unison.

  Lao Wei's face also revealed a pleased smile, in his view, Hai Tian no matter how talented, at most was only a swordsman level, how could he possibly escape the capture of this Sword Emperor level expert?

  But just as his hand was about to touch Haitian's clothes, Haitian's figure suddenly disappeared from in front of him, as if he had never appeared at all.

  "How is this possible?" The triumphant smile on Old Wei's face had vanished, replaced by a look of astonishment.

  He struck so quickly that even Toka hadn't fully reacted, and the little guy in front of him had dodged it somehow. And now he didn't even see a shadow, what was going on?

  Wei He and Duo Ka, who knew the sea and sky like the back of their hand, both had a look of crying and laughing at the same time. They understood that as long as Hai Tian sincerely wanted to hide, no one in the crowd would be able to find his trail.

  Xiao Yu and Wei Hai didn't care about that anymore, seeing Hai Tian successfully escape, they excitedly clapped and cheered on the side, making Old Wei's face even paler with anger.

  The girl behind Lao Wei was also shocked, she didn't expect Hai Tian to escape from his teacher's hands. Just as she was stunned, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and let out a frightened cry: "Ah!"

  "What's with the yelling? Don't you know how unpleasant your voice is?" Haitian's voice suddenly came from behind the girl.

  In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn over, the girl was frightened and retreated repeatedly. Old Wei let out a low growl and his figure suddenly flashed by quickly, but before he could even get there, Haitian's shadow had disappeared once again.

  "How is this possible? His speed is actually faster than mine!" Old Wei exclaimed in surprise, although he wasn't a wind-type swordsman, he was at least a high-ranking expert of the Sword Emperor level.

  Haitian seemed to be just a little bigger, but his speed was even faster than him. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace. He exerted all his strength to release his sword intent, but still couldn't feel Haitian's trail. Was it possible that Haitian was even more formidable than him?

  Lao Wei was startled by his own idea and quickly denied it.

  Even if Hai Tian is a genius, he can't reach the level of Jian Huang, let alone surpass him. There must be some special sword technique assisting him.

  It has to be said that Old Wei's idea is infinitely close to the truth, but Hai Tian is still Hai Tian, how could it be discovered by a small Sword Emperor?

  Suddenly, Haitian's figure appeared at the gate of the Alchemy Association, sneering at Old Wei: "How about it, do you still have the ability to catch me?"

  Lao Wei gritted his teeth and swiftly flashed over, but before he could even get there, Haitian had vanished once again.

  "Damn little brat!" Old Wei cursed angrily.

  "It turns out that the Three Star Sword Emperor is just this capable, how disappointing! " Haotian's figure suddenly appeared between Xiaoyu and Weihai, making them both extremely surprised.

  At this time, Old Wei and the girl had also completely figured it out. Hai Tian was intentionally playing with them. The girl had nothing to say, she found it hard to imagine that her teacher would actually lose to a young man who looked about the same age as herself.

  "Teacher..." The girl saw Lao Wei's gaze drifting away and called out in a flustered tone.

  Perhaps it was the girl's cry that brought Old Wei back to his senses, and a pair of eyes stared fixedly at Haitian's cheek: "What kind of person are you?"

  "Come, come, Lao Wei, let me introduce you. This is Hai... Tian." Tuo Ka, who had not appeared until now, was afraid that things would become awkward again and hastily jumped out to make the introduction, but it felt a bit awkward for him to directly call out Hai Tian's name.

  "What's going on?" Wei Yu and the girl exchanged a glance, but it was still Wei Yu who asked first, "Who is this kid to you? Why are you protecting him like this?"

  "Cough, cough... let's talk about this later." Tuo Ka cleared his throat awkwardly and turned to Hai Tian, "This is Wei Yu, the branch president of the Liu Ling City Alchemy Association, a fifth-grade alchemist. I'm used to calling him Old Wei."
