Chapter 163 The Orthodox Theory
As soon as Meng Yanqing said this, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence, followed by a great uproar, and shock swept through the entire venue like a tidal wave.
After all, the amount of information in her statement was ridiculously high.
If what she said is true, then it means that Xue Youyou can also return to her sheath. Moreover, not only can she, but Xue Youyou also personally passed on the skill of returning to her sheath to Meng Yanqing.
So here's the question... does this count as a teacher-student relationship?
Countless of Xue Youyou's fervent fans bit their lips almost simultaneously upon thinking of this. In an instant, countless gazes, mixed with envy, jealousy, and hatred, converged on Meng Yanqing, their eyes almost wanting to devour her alive, wishing they could replace her on the spot.
Bao Xiaoxing was so shocked that she lost all composure, her voice shrill and distorted: "Ahhh—, Meng Yanqing, so your Sheath Return Technique was personally taught by Lady White Snow Princess?!"
Meng Yanqing slightly raised her chin, looking calmly at Bao Xiaoxing, and asked indifferently, "Well, can this be considered evidence?"
Bao Xiaoxing stammered, as if her tongue was tied in knots, "That...that's natural."
After all, the fact that a move as divine as Returning to Sheath could be passed down speaks volumes about the extraordinary relationship between the two.
If this evidence is confirmed, let alone the secret skills they secretly learned, even if outrageous rumors spread later that Meng Yanqing is Xue Youyou's illegitimate daughter, many people would probably believe it without a doubt.
on the rostrum.
Lin Yan stared wide-eyed at Meng Tianxiang in disbelief, asking each word clearly, "Was your granddaughter's Return to Sheath technique really taught by that girl named Xue Youyou?"
Not only Lin Yan, but the other three people beside him also looked at Meng Tianxiang, waiting for her to give a clear answer.
At this moment, Meng Tianxiang's face showed an expression of forcibly suppressing a smile, and fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Whether it was the fact that Lan Zhiyuan's team successfully advanced to the next round, or the fact that her granddaughter suddenly developed emotional intelligence on the field, it was enough to make this old woman feel gratified and happy from the bottom of her heart.
Meng Tianxiang suppressed the smile on her lips and slowly replied, "My granddaughter, Meng Tianxiang, wouldn't stoop to spouting nonsense in public."
"Hmph...of course."
Lin Yan was slightly annoyed by those words and could only grunt softly, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
As if she could see through Lin Yan's scheme, Meng Tianxiang decided to say one more thing, her tone unhurried: "You don't need to think too much. In fact, you should probably thank Xue Youyou instead."
Lin Yan was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that?"
"Because the reason why your Fei Yan's Return to Sheath skill has made such rapid progress is largely due to Xue Youyou's guidance."
Meng Tianxiang's expression was calm, as if she were stating something insignificant: "Strictly speaking, Xue Youyou has done a great favor for your Lin family."
These words caused a huge uproar in the hearts of the other four people, and their pupils shrank sharply.
If Xue Youyou could instruct Lin Feiyan on the technique of returning to her sheath, wouldn't that mean that Xue Youyou's skill in returning to her sheath was actually superior to Lin Feiyan's?
Lin Yan's expression immediately changed, and almost without thinking, he blurted out, "You... what makes you say that?!"
These are not words to be spoken lightly. You must know that the Lin family of Yuelan has been renowned throughout the land for generations as the "strongest weapon-type pet beast tamers in Yuelan Prefecture," and their fame resounds throughout the region.
Meng Tianxiang's words were tantamount to trampling on the pride of the Yuelan Lin family for centuries, directly offending Lin Yan's most sensitive bottom line.
Even though they were all four marquises and even though they had some friendship in the past, Lin Yan could not simply ignore it.
Meng Tianxiang glanced at Lin Yan, paused for a moment, and finally told her the truth: "Before the league started, Burning Heaven Academy and Blue Lotus Academy played a training match. You know, it's Burning Heaven Academy's tradition—the Ring-the-Century Worship. I was there at the time."
"If you really don't believe me, you can go back and ask your daughter yourself."
Since things had already been said to this extent, even if Lin Yan was extremely unwilling and did not want to admit it, he had no choice but to accept this explanation.
Just as Meng Tianxiang said, the truth is hard to discern; once we get back and ask Lin Feiyan, the person involved, the truth will come out.
The method of verification is so simple that it is undeniably easy to refute, so it can only be the truth.
However, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Yan to publicly admit to this statement.
Because once she admits it, it would be tantamount to her personally smashing her family's "true lineage" brand, tarnishing the prestige that the Lin family had accumulated over generations.
Lin Yan snorted heavily: "Hmph! If you obtained this information through shady means, then I have every right to deny its authenticity!"
Meng Tianxiang was speechless.
That old bastard Lin Yan was clearly indirectly accusing her of spying.
So what if you peep?
Is it illegal to spy on your own granddaughter?
She's clearly keeping a close eye on her granddaughter's healthy growth, isn't she?!
Upon hearing this, Lei Ying could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
Clearly, everyone sitting on this stage knows exactly what kind of person Meng Tianxiang is.
To be honest, who among those who reached this position hadn't been followed by Meng Tianxiang a few times back then?
Therefore, there's an old saying circulating in the community: Never offend a beast tamer of a Void Beast. Once you get entangled with such a beast tamer, you won't even dare to sleep peacefully, constantly having to be wary of a pair of eyes watching you from the Void.
Meng Tianxiang immediately flew into a rage, raising her voice several decibels: "I was—watching the training match openly and legitimately as a student's parent!"
Strictly speaking, she had informed Lu Yuan beforehand that time.
We cannot define her behavior as voyeurism simply because those trainees were unaware of it.
This assessment is extremely unfair!
"I have reservations and doubts about what you're saying!"
Lei Ying couldn't stop laughing, laughing so hard she was doubled over, showing no mercy to Meng Tianxiang.
Meng Tianxiang glared at Lei Ying with some annoyance. She never expected that her friend of many years would undermine her at this time.
However, when she met Lei Ying's gaze, her mind raced, and she instantly understood her intention.
Lei Ying was reminding her not to dwell on the matter of returning to the sheath, which is why she jumped in to smooth things over with a joke.
All of this was for their ultimate grand plan.
Before the grand plan is officially implemented, any words or actions that might alert the enemy must be avoided as much as possible.
Meng Tianxiang took a deep breath, and her expression quickly returned to normal, as calm as if the argument had never happened.
However, at this very moment, Lin Yan relentlessly brought up the topic again, saying coldly, "Didn't you say that the beast tamer named Xue Youyou has disappeared?"
The subtext of Lin Yan's words couldn't be more straightforward.
As long as Xue Youyou completely disappears from this world, the Lin family's Guiqiao will still be the undisputed authentic Yuelan.
For a dead person, the question of "who taught whom" is completely meaningless to argue about.
Meng Tianxiang frowned, about to retort, when Bao Yunxing's bracelet suddenly beeped with an urgent communication notification.
Normally, only the most urgent matters would trigger such an abrupt notification sound. For a moment, the people on the platform fell silent, their gazes all turning to Bao Yunxing.
Bao Yunxing glanced down at the message, then looked up, his gaze slowly sweeping across the four faces, his tone carrying an indescribable meaning: "Breaking news, the much-anticipated Miss Bai Xueji has reappeared as if nothing happened after being missing for a full forty hours."
