"Gods?"
Xuan Di chewed on the word, looking at the self-proclaimed god Changxu National Preceptor with a mocking expression. Beneath his icy eyes, a deep and dark undercurrent surged. In an instant, it seemed as if some fierce aura burst forth, sweeping across the four directions of the land.
"Are you... worthy?" The young man suddenly gave a wicked and arrogant laugh, his gaze falling on the Grand Preceptor of Changxu, his expression imposing and sharp.
When the Grand Preceptor Changxu met that gaze, the imposing aura he had just built up instantly crumbled. The deep-seated fear that had gripped him resurfaced. Looking at the young man before him, he instinctively asked again, trembling, "Who...who are you! Who are you!"
Xuan Di's icy eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint in them.
A deep sense of terror spread through him, engulfing his entire body. In that moment of extreme fear, the Grand Preceptor Changxu's eyes suddenly flashed.
The next moment, he suddenly grabbed some fine powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it towards Xuan Di.
For a moment, smoke filled the area beside the artificial hill.
The sky gradually darkened.
From the crevices of the artificial hill next to them, two round eyes gleamed, emitting a dark, shiny light in the dim garden.
The dark light, far from dissipating into the twilight, became exceptionally bright and visible.
Huo Chengche noticed the rising smoke, his brows furrowed, and he immediately pulled the little baby back from the gap, covering her nose. Looking down, he saw her bright, sparkling eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly.
In her previous life, Nian Nian did not have these Dark Crystal Eyes.
His brow furrowed, and he subconsciously glanced around. Seeing that no one was around, he relaxed and simply whistled softly, signaling to Xuan Di—hurry up and finish!
They'd been playing long enough, and he didn't want anyone to notice anything unusual about the little one.
As for why he wasn't worried about Xuandi...
The Grand Preceptor of Changxu covered his mouth and nose and sprinkled powder on Xuandi. Smoke and dust filled the space between the two of them, but Huo Chengche could clearly see Xuandi's steady half of his body through the crack in the stone.
However, the Grand Preceptor Changxu would not be able to see this scene until the smoke and dust cleared.
He covered his mouth and nose, and after sprinkling the powder, he immediately waved his sleeves and began to fan away the smoke and dust in front of him, showing that he was very confident in the efficacy of the powder.
"Hmph, brat, you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences! You're fearless and arrogant, truly spoiled by your family! Today, I, your humble advisor, will teach you a lesson—"
Changxu Guoshi abandoned his usual ethereal and leisurely tone, revealing a sinister and ferocious one. However, at the end of his vicious words, his tone came to an abrupt halt, and because the stop was so abrupt, his voice even cracked.
Grand Preceptor Changxu stared in astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost, looking at the young man in front of him with the same mocking smile as before. His mouth was agape, and his throat unconsciously made a "crackling" sound out of fear.
Xuan Di stared at him coldly with icy eyes, a mocking sneer on his face. "What does the Grand Preceptor of Changxu want me to know?"
"You, you, you, you..." Grand Preceptor Changxu was pressed against the stone wall, his face ashen, trembling like a leaf, his voice shaking and stuttering, "Are you, are you, are you, are you a human or a ghost?!"
“Young Master,” Xuan Di sneered, his icy eyes fixed on the Grand Preceptor of Changxu, as if looking at an ant, his voice low and hoarse, as cold as the deepest ice of the underworld, “is a god.”
