Ao Tianheng was glaring at Jiang Xiaobai, with an expression that seemed to imply he had seen through everything.

“You’re all here to mock me, aren’t you?”

“Fine, but I wish to ask, who among you have heard of a mere mortal who could refine Qi within seven days?”

“Who has heard of it, or who has achieved it?”

Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback.

The crowd was indeed brought here by Ao Cheng to mock Ao Tianheng. Such a farce was rare in Dragon Valley, but they had all overlooked a problem.

Forget about history, it was virtually impossible for anyone to reach the stage of Qi Refining within such a short period of time!

Even the thought of refining Qi was beyond belief.

People’s gazes towards Jiang Xiaobai were filled with suspicion. Many were furrowing their brows, trying to discern something from him.

Ao Tianheng revealed a malicious smile.

“I believe this mortal used an object or certain means to forcibly elevate his Qi level!”

“Jiang Xiaobai, a mere mortal like you is so cunning, willing to use such tactics just to make me a laughingstock and to embarrass me?” There was an uproar in the crowd.

Surprisingly enough, such tactics were not uncommon!

There were indeed treasures and medicinal pills that could disguise Qi levels.

After Ao Tianheng pointed this out, everyone started to look at Jiang Xiaobai with scorn and disdain.

“Damn it, is this mortal taking us for fools?”

“I actually believed that this guy could break into the Qi Refining stage in just a few days! ”

“Damn it, we’ve been deceived!”

“Young Master Tianheng, we were all deceived by this bastard, causing us to lose our judgment!”

Ao Cheng’s face also turned sour. He was indeed too excited earlier and did not consider this possibility.

“Mortal, tell me straight, did you tamper with anything sneakily?” Ao Cheng looked at Jiang Xiaobai as though he would slap him dead if he revealed anything suspicious.

Jiang Xiaobai remained calm, squinting his eyes slightly.

Ao Tianheng was indeed crafty, even trying to throw dirt on him at this point. But unfortunately for him, Jiang Xiaobai’s cultivation was genuinely attained!

“Ao Cheng, think about it. Even if such things existed, how could a mere mortal like me get them? And why would I dare to act so arrogantly before all the talented youths of Dragon Valley?”

Jiang Xiaobai responded with a faint smile, “Wouldn’t it be digging my own grave? Even though we’ve not known each other for long, do you think I’m that foolish?”

Ao Cheng scratched his head, finding it difficult to determine what was true and what wasn’t.

And Jiang Xiaobai’s past actions didn’t seem like those of someone who would resort to petty tricks.

“Hmph, still pretending!” Ao Tianheng sneered, “Jiang Xiaobai, your little tricks are useless in front of me. I’ll give you a chance to admit your mistake and apologize. Then I will not pursue this matter, and our previous bet can continue.”

“If you do not know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being impolite!” As he spoke, Ao Tianheng’s face darkened.

After all, among those in Dragon Valley, Ao Tianheng’s position was second only to Ao Yan, adding considerable weight to his words.

The crowd that Ao Cheng had brought frowned in anger, feeling as though they had been fooled.

Ao Cheng’s face wasn’t looking any better; it seemed as though he had ended up losing more than he gained.

Among the crowd, only Jiang Xiaobai remained indifferent.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you just can’t admit that I have a stronger cultivation talent, can you? It’s fine. Why don’t you search me? If you find any treasures that can boost cultivation on me, I will kneel down and call you father right here,” Jiang Xiaobai said with a casual smile.

“What a joke! Besides treasures, there are also elixirs that enhance one’s Qi level. How are we to check for those?” Someone shouted.

Jiang Xiaobai shrugged, “Then what do you suggest?”

“It goes without saying, no one has ever been able to refine Qi in such a short amount of time. It’s simply impossible, even if a deity were to descend to earth.”

That person shouted, “This mortal is just playing tricks to deceive us! He should kneel and apologize immediately, or else I’ll kill him right now!” “Right, kneel and apologize!”

“Apologize to Young Master Tianheng, or be expelled from Dragon Valley!”

“I’ve seen shameless people before, but never one as shameless as you. Only a few days after becoming a son-in-law, and you act as if you’re somebody.

Don’t you feel a bit embarrassed?”

Unfazed by the insults, Jiang Xiaobai remained calm.

He was just joking, having experienced the harsh conditions of Zu’an, could he possibly be bothered by such low-grade insults?

If he truly wished to retaliate, the verbal slap he could dish out would utterly disgrace them.

Now, as Jiang Xiaobai remained silent amidst the continuing onslaught of curses, the situation had escalated from everyone watching Ao Tianheng’s plight to them forming a posse against Jiang Xiaobai.

Ao Cheng’s face was ashen. He was now unsure of himself!

“Mortal, if I find out that you did indeed use some tricks, I’ll make sure you regret it. Not even my sister can protect you!” Ao Cheng yelled at Jiang Xiaobai. Jiang Xiaobai, remaining calm, asked, “Do you believe me?”

“This isn’t a question of belief. Show some evidence already!” yelled Ao Cheng.

At the edge of the cave, Ao Tianheng wore a satisfied smile.

“Trying to use such tactics against me, you’re still too naive.”

The situation was intensifying, with some unable to hold back their anger anymore, ready to seize and pin Jiang Xiaobai to the ground.

“How about it? It’s not too late to kneel and apologize now, son-in-law,” sneered Ao Tianheng, emphasizing the word ‘son-in-law’ with clear disdain.

“Hehe, what’s going on here?”

At this moment, a pleasant voice rang out. He seemed unbothered by the crowd that had gathered.

The crowd parted, and a friendly middle-aged man walked in.

“The seventh elder, this mortal used medicine to elevate his cultivation and trick us. He also wanted Young Master Tianheng to apologize to him. This act must not be tolerated, it deserves severe punishment!” a man shouted.

The seventh elder raised an eyebrow slightly. His face held a look of interest. He knew about Jiang Xiaobai’s background and found it amusing that he would dare to challenge Ao Tianheng.

“Seventh Elder, as you are an elder of our Dragon Valley in charge of guiding cultivation, perhaps you could inspect this mortal to see if he has used any tricks,” Ao Tianheng stepped forward and bowed.

In his view, Jiang Xiaobai must have used some tricks. Otherwise, it was impossible for a mortal to refine Qi within a few days!

“Jiang Xiaobai, I’m looking forward to seeing how you’ll get out of this!”

“You had the chance to kneel and confess earlier, but you didn’t take it. Now even if you want to plead for mercy, it’s useless, even if Ao Yan herself comes to beg for you!”

Ao Tianheng looked at Jiang Xiaobai coldly, with disdain in his eyes..
