Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Are There Problems With Your Eyes?
Shi Hao returned to his residence, toying with the Fire Phoenix Tree Branch. This was indeed a material of the Nine Stars caliber, possibly even surpassing it. Even Yuan Chengmie had never possessed it; he had only seen it.
When he extended his Soul Power, he could sense the traces of the might of flames that made his soul tremble.
Such was the superiority of the flame’s rank, completely overpowering on every level.
After all, Shi Hao also possessed a sliver of Yuan Chengmie’s soul. In terms of resistance to pressure, he should be considered at the level of the Heaven Building Ladder.
Even he felt his soul trembling, which showed just how terrifying the might of this flame was.
“Eh, you’re quite lucky, actually getting your hands on a Fire Phoenix Tree Branch.” Su Manman had slipped in at some point, and upon seeing the charred branch in Shi Hao’s hands, her expression revealed a hint of surprise.
Shi Hao looked up at her: “You recognize it?”
“Pfft, who do you think I am? I still have that much eyesight!” Su Manman snorted, “But your luck is really something. Just like the Flame Phoenix King, the Fire Phoenix is the king among paulownias. It’s said to be extinct.”
Shi Hao smiled broadly: “That’s right, good-looking people are never short on luck.”
Can’t you let go of that joke?
Was it necessary to hold a grudge just because you became a follower once?
Su Manman internally rolled her eyes but found it amusing. Sometimes Shi Hao was too mature, but in moments like this, his reaction fit that of a nearly eighteen-year-old youth.
“If you’re really lucky, maybe you could master the strongest divine skill of the Phoenix Clan, ‘Fire Scorches the Heavens’,” she said with a playful grin.
Obviously, that was sarcasm. How could the strongest divine skill of the Phoenix Clan be found in a branch? That would be a joke.
“I’ll take that as a good omen,” Shi Hao laughed.
Show-off!

Su Manman snorted internally, bantering with Shi Hao was part of her daily routine, a pleasure she never grew tired of.
However, she obviously didn’t have as thick a skin as Shi Hao and soon admitted defeat, leaving in a huff.
At meal times, Cao Feiyan’s courtyard would become particularly crowded, for the mealtime army naturally arrived punctually.
Shi Hao wasn’t freeload. He took out his crafted elixirs in return, ensuring a fair exchange and not taking advantage of anything without giving something back.
After eating, he even brought some to Su Manman and Cao Feiyan, saving himself the trouble of cooking.
However, when he returned to his room, he saw that an additional person was there.
The green-dressed woman with the eye problem he had met before was now in a red dress, with fiery red lips and a seductive charm.
“This is my place,” Shi Hao said.
Really, something must be wrong with your eyes if you mistake someone else’s home for your own.
The seductive woman giggled, “My name is Yin Cui’er. Do you think I’m pretty?”
Shi Hao glanced at her and spoke the truth: “Average, I guess, not ugly.”
He was using Su Manman’s beauty as a reference point, so she could qualify for an ‘not ugly’ rating. But with the problem with her eyes, points were definitely deducted.
Yin Cui’er felt an arrow strike her heart, choking her up and leaving her speechless.
She was just ‘not ugly’?
Among the core disciples, she was one of the two most stunning flowers, the other, of course, being Cao Feiyan. Thus, she was always competing with Cao Feiyan, vying for a decisive victory.
In the sect, there were countless men who adored her and Cao Feiyan. It was true that it was hard to determine who was superior between her and Cao Feiyan, but ‘not ugly’? Where did you get your eyes from?
After a moment, Yin Cui’er said: “How about you hang around with me?”
Originally, Shi Hao should have complimented her on her looks, and she would have taken the opportunity to try to win him over, but now, her saying this made her seem very unconfident.
Shi Hao shook his head, “Not interested.”
It was a comical mistake that had him become a follower of Cao Feiyan, and now they expected him to actively seek out others to serve as a follower?
Yin Cui’er’s heart became even more stifled; she had to compete with Cao Feiyan for everything. Now that Cao Feiyan’s follower had become famous within the sect and even defeated official disciples, it naturally made her envious.
She wanted such a follower too.
“Big brother, won’t you reconsider?” she said to Shi Hao, batting her eyelashes at him.
Here we go again!
“Your eyes must have a problem, you should get them checked promptly,” Shi Hao said earnestly, “If treated early, there’s a chance they can be cured, but it might be too late if you wait.”
At that moment, Yin Cui’er didn’t just feel oppressed in her chest; she felt like she wanted to vomit blood.
Is this how you should behave?
“That was supposed to be enticing, not a sign of eye trouble!” she couldn’t help but defend herself.
“Well, if there’s nothing wrong with your eyes, then why throw seductive glances? Couldn’t you just look at people properly?” Shi Hao wonderingly said.
This—
Despite her frustration, Yin Cui’er’s interest flared up. This was a man blank as a sheet of paper, open for her to script as she pleased, which was quite interesting.
“Because you’re good-looking, that’s why I threw you a seductive glance,” Yin Cui’er said with all seriousness.
Shi Hao nodded; he was indeed good-looking, this was a fact.
Uh, you really don’t do modesty, do you.
Yin Cui’er gritted her teeth again.
“Anyway, if there’s nothing wrong with your eyes, what brought you here to me?” Shi Hao circled back to the point.
All of a sudden, Yin Cui’er felt a pain in her guts, speechless; this blank slate of a man was not as easy to write on as she had imagined.
“Heh, I’ve just remembered that I have some things to take care of, I’ll come see you another day.” She decided to beat a retreat. This man was completely different from any she had met before, so to deal with Shi Hao, she needed to adapt to his style first.
She fled in disarray, for the first time in her life retreating in defeat after an encounter with a man, which was a great humiliation.
Shi Hao smiled faintly. He certainly knew what Yin Cui’er was up to, but he had no interest in this woman, and making her back off in such a manner was obviously the best course of action.
However, Shi Hao, as a follower who had defeated an official disciple, had everyone speculating wildly.
—With Shi Hao’s talent, he could totally be an ordinary disciple, even a core disciple wouldn’t be difficult; why insist on being a follower?
Certainly, he has designs on Cao Feiyan.
Sigh, he really is dedicated; to pursue a beautiful woman, he’s willing to lower his status to that of a follower.
But not everyone admired Shi Hao.
Zhang Hao, the foremost among the core disciples, could be called invincible on Nine Islands.
He was very arrogant, looked down on ordinary disciples, and even more so on followers. Now a mere follower had defeated ordinary disciples and shown potential that even the core disciples couldn’t match—how could Zhang Hao swallow this affront?
Therefore, when he returned to the Zhenwu Sect and heard the news, he immediately had someone send Shi Hao a letter.
No, to call it a letter would be an understatement; it was more like an order, demanding Shi Hao to kneel at the entrance to the mountain for three days, and then he would let Shi Hao off the hook.
Otherwise, Shi Hao would bear the consequences.
