Chapter 1116: The Fifth Elder's Obstruction
Ghost Thirteen's face changed slightly; he hadn't expected Chu Xiaoxiao to be Chu Yunlong's daughter.
In Huadu, one must show some respect to Chu Yunlong's offspring.
However, after pondering for a moment, he said immediately, "We'll change today's plan. First, we'll kidnap Chu Xiaoxiao; everything else can wait!"
Su Qingshan suddenly understood that there must be something special about this Chu Xiaoxiao; otherwise, his master, Ghost Thirteen, wouldn't be so cautious, even at the risk of offending Huadu's top figure or halting the Su Family's business development here, just to abduct Chu Xiaoxiao.
Ghost Thirteen even directly said, "Chu Xiaoxiao, little girl, would you like to come with this old man? Rest assured, I'll make sure you have good food, drinks, and a life of luxury and wealth."
Chu Xiaoxiao replied coldly, "You're dreaming! You actually want to kidnap me? You're courting death!"
Su Qingshan immediately shouted in anger, "You dare say my master is courting death? You're really tired of living! Master, I request to fight!"
Ghost Thirteen nodded slightly. His strength far surpassed Chu Xiaoxiao's, and he could naturally see that Chu Xiaoxiao was merely at the Late Stage of Mastery, even weaker than his disciple. Su Qingshan should have no difficulty defeating Chu Xiaoxiao.
With the Peak of mastery strength, Su Qingshan sneered at Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Hahaha, Chu Xiaoxiao, since you don't want to come with us, don't blame me for being rude. Even if your father is the top figure in Huadu, so what? We want to take you away, and no one can stop us!"
Having said this, he charged fiercely at Chu Xiaoxiao.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't panic in the slightest. A long ice sword formed in her hand, and she thrust it towards Su Qingshan...
…
The Xuanmen people returned to the sect's residence.
The Xuan Sect Leader immediately summoned the Xuanmen disciples with council rights for a meeting.
When everyone saw Xu Hao sitting high up on the right side of the Xuan Sect Leader, in a position second only to the Sect Leader and the Great Elder, they were all extremely shocked.
Since when did a mere male have such status within the Xuanmen?
Even if the leader of another Half Hidden Sect came, they would have to sit in a guest seat, unlike Xu Hao, who sat in the main seat.
That's a place only a Xuanmen person could sit in. What right did Xu Hao have to sit there?
However, when these people heard the announcement from the Xuan Sect Leader, they were instantly stunned.
The Sect Leader actually wanted Xu Hao to become an Honorary Elder of Xuanmen!
Making a man an Honorary Elder of Xuanmen had never happened in hundreds and thousands of years.
The Fifth Elder was the first to stand up and say, "Everyone, although this proposal was put forward by the Sect Leader, we the elders also have council rights. I am the first to oppose this decision. The ancestors established Xuanmen to unite women aspiring to martial arts, making us a force that any male-dominated sect fears. But now, the Sect Leader is leading in breaking the rules left by our ancestors; this is simply a great disobedience!"
The Xuan Sect Leader said, "Times are changing. If it weren't for Young Master Xu's help this time, our Xuanmen would have suffered tremendously. The ancestral teachings say that anyone who significantly helps us in life-or-death situations can become our Honorary Elder, and it does not say the person must be female. So, I believe Young Master Xu is fully qualified to become our Honorary Elder."
Just when another opposing person was about to stand up and speak, Xu Hao suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth Elder, shouldn't the bet you made with me be fulfilled?"
The Fifth Elder's face immediately turned extremely pale.
She never expected Xu Hao to bring this matter up at such a time!
This was tantamount to putting her to death!
Making her, the dignified Fifth Elder of Xuanmen, kneel in public to apologize and call someone 'father' was something she could never do.
The Fifth Elder coldly said, "Xu Hao, don't go too far. Our bet is void. I can compensate you in other ways."
Xu Hao looked at her indifferently and said, "Do I lack your compensation? What could you possibly give me? Can you give me a treasure?"
Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, she immediately yelled angrily, "Sect Leader, look at him, always thinking about our Sect's Treasure!"
"I merely mentioned a treasure. Does that mean I'm coveting your Sect's Treasure? If I wanted your Sect's Treasure, why wouldn't I have just taken it under the pretense of borrowing it? Don't forget, I could have pretended to be defeated and left with Zhou Shuran at the time," Xu Hao said with a laugh.
"That's because you didn't dare! I believe if you become our Honorary Elder, you'll definitely find ways to come into contact with Emperor Qin and then steal it," said the Fifth Elder coldly.
"Heh, if I wanted to use the Emperor Qin, would I need to steal it?"
Xu Hao sneered and said, "Does Zhou Shuran even have a chance to use the Emperor Qin in the future?"
