Chapter 547: 542

"This guy..."

The woman in red saw a hint of wariness emerge in Ye Xuan’s eyes. The soul power that had manifested just before had been extremely powerful; it was clear that either Ye Xuan possessed a mighty soul attack treasure, or his own soul power was formidable.

"What a brave lad, daring to run wild in the territory of Dragon Sword Island; are you seeking death?" The Dragon Sword Island Disciple who had been flung away earlier scrambled up, his gaze fiercely resentful as he stared at Ye Xuan.

"What are you talking about? I can hardly understand you. I’m in this state; do I still have the ability to hurt you?" Ye Xuan lay on the wooden bed, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

"Damn it! Wasn’t it you who made the move just now?"

The Dragon Sword Island Disciple’s face darkened. To say that it wasn’t Ye Xuan who acted, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.

"I didn’t expect to misjudge so carelessly."

The gaze of the woman in red landed on Ye Xuan, her expression becoming somewhat grave. She hadn’t anticipated that the seemingly inconspicuous Ye Xuan would possess such unexpectedly extraordinary abilities.

"However, every person should take responsibility for their own actions. You are after all a master, don’t you even have the courage to admit what you did?" A gleam flashed in the woman in red’s eyes as she spoke indifferently.

"A master I am not; I am merely a cripple who cannot move."

Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, the face of the Dragon Sword Island Disciple couldn’t help but darken further. Ye Xuan called himself a cripple, yet he had flung him away with a single move; wasn’t that indirectly saying he was even less than a cripple?

"If there is nothing else, can you leave now? Beating the owner of this house to this state, don’t you think it’s a bit too excessive?"

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly as he spoke lightly.

"This is a private matter of the Dragon Sword Island Disciples. You shouldn’t get involved. Given the state of your body, you probably can’t frequently wield soul power, right?"

After sizing up Ye Xuan for a moment, the woman’s eyes narrowed, and she said.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s pupils also shrank slightly, but quickly returned to normal. It had to be said, the woman in red was very accurate; indeed, under his severely injured state, he couldn’t use soul power attacks many more times.

"So you’d better stay out of our affairs."

Realizing she had hit the mark, the woman in red slightly curled her lips; she was wary of Ye Xuan, but that didn’t mean she was afraid, especially since Ye Xuan’s body was indeed almost crippled, relying solely on soul power to defeat her was hardly probable.

"Miss Lin Wan saved my life. I cannot ignore her affairs, even if it means risking this broken body, I must assist her."

Ye Xuan appeared nonchalant, but these words carried a strong intimidating force.

"You!"

The woman in red furrowed her brows, not expecting Ye Xuan to be so ungrateful, ignoring her advice.

"I do have a proposal, if you agree to it, then I will no longer intervene in your fight." Just as the woman in red’s expression darkened, Ye Xuan suddenly changed the subject.

"What is your proposal?" The lady in red did not want to confront Ye Xuan directly and asked with some surprise.

"We schedule a duel every two months, and in two months, I’ll let Miss Lin Wan contend with you. If she loses by then, you can deal with her as you please."

Ye Xuan considered it briefly before he spoke up.

"What?"

Lin Wan was stunned and then looked at Ye Xuan with some disbelief. Given her current strength, a one-on-one fight with the lady in red would almost certainly result in defeat with no suspense.

To be completely at the mercy of the opponent if she lost? If it wasn’t for her knowledge that Ye Xuan wasn’t an ungrateful person, she would have been unable to hold back her emotions.

"Fine, I agree."

The lady in red initially thought it would be some harsh condition, but it turned out to be so simple, just delaying for two months; merely two months! Could Lin Wan possibly catch up to her in such a short time?

That was absolutely impossible, as the current Lin Wan was no longer the Lin Wan she used to be; catching up was out of the question.

"Two months, haha, you’re just trying to buy time. Unfortunately, even two years would be useless. Lin Wan, a person with a ruined foundation, couldn’t catch up with Wu Qianqian even if she trained for a hundred years."

"That’s right, the gap between these two will only grow larger; in two months, Lin Wan will only lose more miserably."

The disciples of Dragon Sword Island all revealed ridiculing smiles; they fundamentally didn’t think there would be any suspense in the battle two months later.

At that time, Lin Wan would only lose even more miserably. If she were beaten here today, the consequences wouldn’t be severe, but in two months, in front of many Dragon Sword Island disciples, Lin Wan would lose terribly, becoming a laughingstock at Dragon Sword Island, subjected to all their mockery.

"Let’s go!"

The lady in red glanced deeply at Ye Xuan and then gestured, leading the group of Dragon Sword Island disciples away.

One after the other, figures swept out, and soon not a single person was left in the room.

After everyone had left, Lin Wan finally looked at Ye Xuan with some incomprehension. "Two months is too short; I can hardly do anything. Right now, the gap between me and Wu Qianqian is still vast, and even if we duel in two months, it won’t change anything. I’m likely to lose without a doubt."

She still didn’t quite understand Ye Xuan; after all, this proposal clearly wasn’t beneficial for her. What was the point of making such a suggestion?

"If we only consider your current condition, that definitely won’t work, but we still have two months. Don’t worry, within these two months, I’ll definitely give you the ability to compete against Wu Qianqian and even win," Ye Xuan said, shaking his head calmly.

"Two months? That’s impossible."

Lin Wan smiled bitterly. To have the ability to defeat Wu Qianqian in two months was undoubtedly unrealistic, especially given her physical condition, which she knew all too well. The reason she went from a genius to a mediocrity was because she had suffered a severe injury to her Dantian during a fierce battle! This injury had persisted for two or three years and still hadn’t been fully healed, to the point where she had already given up hope.

"Dantian injured?"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow but soon returned to normal. "Others might not be able to help, but I can responsibly tell you that this isn’t an incurable injury. I have a way to solve it for you."

"You... you have a way?"

Lin Wan suddenly widened her eyes, then quickly a spark flashed in her eyes, and the originally dim pupils suddenly shone brightly.
