This Master is Omnipotent

Liu Qingxuan really did not cause trouble this time.

Well, he just stole the limelight that belonged to Ye Haotian and Feng Yangyu.

It just took everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

Liu Qingxuan, who was already handsome and unrestrained, with an extraordinary bearing and infinite charm, looked even more extraordinary under the background of Lin Muer and Bai Suyi.

What's more, there is a group of demon sect leaders who are willing to act as Luye behind him.

"Bai Suyi, actually taking the initiative to hold a man's hand, this Liu Qingxuan is a bit interesting."

Many people's eyes flickered, and there was surprise in their eyes.

Who is Bai Suyi?

A great witch who can only be seen from a distance and cannot be played with, who is famous in the magic way.

There are many men who have ideas about Bai Suyi.

Although the whole body is very charming, any random movement seems to be teasing the heartstrings of others.

But I have never seen that man and Bai Suyi so close.

Not to mention bringing his own apprentice with him.

How good can a man who can truly subdue Bai Suyi?

Didn't know before.

Now there is an answer.

Such a wonderful man is right in front of you.

"Could it be that Liu Qingxuan has already formed an alliance with someone else?"

Many people thought silently.

"It's incredible that Yuan Sha is willing to stand behind Liu Qingxuan."

"Not only Bai Chou, but also Xingji, Bai Chou..."

"This…"

After seeing who was behind Liu Qingxuan, everyone present was even more shocked.

Tiansha Zong Yuansha, Xingjie of Xingyun Valley, Baiqiu of Xieguang Zong...

Which is not a famous person.

Most of these characters are on an equal footing with Feng Yangyu, and they are basically characters at the level of various sect masters or vice sect masters.

Originally, these people were specially invited by the Yin-Yang Demon Sect to demonstrate the strength of Feng Yang Yu's connections.

As a result, now... it has become Liu Qingxuan's network display.

Everyone present became more and more curious as to why Liu Qingxuan was favored by so many bigwigs, and he even followed his lead.

This is not just about refining some medicinal herbs.

Although medicinal pills are important, they are not so important after reaching the Semi-Saint.

Unless it is an elixir above the ground level.

In the current Great Zhou Dynasty, there are almost no medicinal pills above the ground level.

"Could it be that Liu Qingxuan's alchemy skills have reached the level of perfection? Even the medicinal herbs above the ground level have been involved."

Some people began to speculate secretly.

Reborn Pill is not so important yet, so it can only be said that Liu Qingxuan's alchemy skills are more than that.

He has been able to refine more advanced medicinal pills.

Many people have strange thoughts, and even want to go forward and talk to Liu Qingxuan for a while and climb up friendship.

Too bad it doesn't fit right now.

Just have to wait and find a chance to go again.

No one is a fool, Liu Qingxuan must have something special to be valued by such a big boss.

Make sure you are right.

Liu Qingxuan and others quickly found a place to sit down at will.

Because the front seat is almost full, we can only choose the rear seat.

Liu Qingxuan's group gathered together, and many people didn't even notice that Feng Yangyu and others had come to the front.

…

At the front of the hall, a small wooden booth was built.

There are still many Yin-Yang Demon Sect disciples waiting around, just in case.

At this time, Feng Yangyu stood at the forefront, smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, today is the day when I, Feng Yangyu, officially accepted Ye Haotian as my personal disciple. It is true that there are so many people from the same path who come to watch the ceremony. It's an honor..."

Accepting a son of destiny as a disciple was originally a big happy event.

But at this moment, Feng Yangyu was a little out of the mood.

He just wanted to end it all quickly and smoothly.

Not only because of Liu Qingxuan, but also because of the arrival of the blood spirit clan.

Ye Haotian and Feng Yunni stood under the stage together, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Although it was said that these two days were not smooth, from today onwards, he will be different.

He was going to officially become Feng Yangyu's direct disciple.

At the same time, he is Feng Yunni's fiancé and future Taoist companion.

In the future, even if someone wants to provoke him, he has to weigh his own strength first.

At this moment, there was an extremely hoarse voice in his mind.

"You are very good…"

Ye Haotian was shocked, who was talking to him?

"Don't be nervous, I'm not malicious"

"I don't know if the senior is..."

"Hehe, you don't need to care who I am, I just want to ask you... Are you... hungry for power..."

"strength…"

Ye Haotian's heart was slightly excited.

But at the same time more vigilance.

He didn't quite believe that such a fortuitous encounter would suddenly happen to him.

Moreover, he has now worshipped Feng Yangyu as his teacher. He suspected that it was the people in the room who transmitted the sound to him, and these people were not necessarily much stronger than Feng Yangyu.

"Who is the senior?"

After Ye Haotian thought for a while, he still asked in a deep voice.

"You don't need to know who it is, you just need to know... I can give you the power you desire most, and this power will make you so powerful that everyone here will be trampled under your feet... Everyone..."

Although this voice was unpleasant, it had a strong delusional meaning.

Ye Haotian felt a move in his heart.

Power is very tempting to him.

My thirst for power is far beyond the average person.

It's just that he is not a fool, and he won't trust other people for no reason. There is still a temptation in his heart.

"The junior already has a master, and the senior still doesn't need to say more..."

Just as Ye Haotian was about to refuse, the voice in his mind sounded again.

"Master? Hehe, if I say, Feng Yangyu is just my dog..."

"what!"

Ye Haotian was really shocked now.

"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg in this world, what is the mere Fengyang Feather and the mere Yin-Yang Demon Sect..."

"This…"

Ye Haotian's heart began to beat wildly.

This person's voice is full of strong confidence, and it shouldn't seem like a fake.

In his original knowledge, the Yin-Yang Demon Sect was already the top force in this world.

Although Feng Yangyu was not a cultivator in the sage realm, he was also a group of people at the top of the pyramid.

As a result, someone told him now.

The master he wants to worship is just a dog he keeps.

This made Ye Haotian calm down.

If Feng Yangyu is just a dog raised by someone else, what is he?

Not even a dog?

Ye Haotian's mood was ups and downs, slightly turbulent.

At this moment, Feng Yangyu also officially introduced Ye Haotian to everyone present.

"Let's make it official, this is the closed disciple who is about to inherit my mantle, Ye Haotian."

Feng Yang Yu smiled.

Being able to accept Ye Haotian as his apprentice is his luck in this life.

"congratulations."

"Congratulations to Sect Master Feng."

"Congratulations."

"…"

The people in the audience immediately congratulated.

Of course, no one knows how true or false this congratulation is.

However, Ye Haotian was a little distracted at this time, and the whole person seemed to be in a daze. Feng Yangyu also immediately discovered this.

"Haotian!"

Feng Yangyu's voice transmission suddenly sounded in Ye Haotian's mind, which made Ye Haotian come back to his senses.

Ye Haotian hurriedly stepped forward and saluted everyone respectfully.

"Junior Ye Haotian, meet all the seniors."

Although everyone has already seen him, this time can be regarded as an official meeting.

It was as Feng Yangyu's direct disciple that he met.

Others also felt a little strange.

Why are you still in a daze at this time?

As someone who has been observing Ye Haotian, Liu Qingxuan naturally discovered Ye Haotian's abnormality long ago.

But he didn't know what was going on.

He did nothing.

"Liu Qingxuan, can I kill someone?"

Li Luoling, who was beside him, suddenly spoke softly.

"Um?"

Li Luoling's words made the people around him turn their attention to Li Luoling.

This... opening is to kill people, playing such a big game.

It seems that Liu Qingxuan really brought people to look for trouble.

But...that's what makes it interesting.

They don't care about any **** apprenticeship ceremony.

Whether Ye Haotian on the stage is serving tea to Feng Yangyu or what he is doing, it doesn't matter to them.

It's the same as attending a wedding. Unless the parties involved, no one cares how the wedding is going. It's best if you can eat and drink well, and watch some fun.

Faced with Li Luoling's question, Liu Qingxuan frowned.

Li Luoling wanted to take action, obviously not for the sake of making trouble.

"what happened?"

Liu Qingxuan directly transmitted the sound.

"There is an alien invasion."

Li Luoling's eyes have been fixed on the front.

"Alien? Who?"

Liu Qingxuan was slightly startled, this was a little different from the plot he had learned.

Is there an alien invasion so soon?

You must know that in the original work, the plot of this aspect was not started so early.

Because the overall strength of the alien race is relatively high, it is impossible for Ye Haotian to come into contact with the alien race except the monsters so early.

It seems that because of his appearance, the timeline of this world has begun to change rapidly.

Ye Haotian in the original work, but he has been practicing until the peak of the golden body, and then he started to leave the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The relationship between the human race and the other races of the past ten thousand years has only begun to unfold.

And now there are aliens appearing so quickly.

Ye Haotian didn't even reach the Divine Treasure Realm.

"Be more careful in the future."

Liu Qingxuan thought silently.

The world is changing all the time that he doesn't know about.

The original timeline was to follow Ye Haotian's progress, but it is obviously not now.

"Blood Spirit Race, third row, fifth from the right."

Li Luoling continued his voice transmission.

She didn't even notice it.

This Blood Spirit Race person hides very well, and hardly any breath leaks.

But just now, she noticed a strange fluctuation.

Li Luoling, who had been looking for traces of the blood spirit clan, caught the anomaly at once.

Finally locked the person.

Liu Qingxuan also pretended to look up casually.

Li Luoling was talking about a young man.

He doesn't know.

It seems that it should be a genius disciple who followed the elders to meet the world.

Liu Qingxuan frowned. Could it be that the alien race has any means to transform it into a human race?

"The people of the blood spirit tribe can transform into blood mist, enter the body of other creatures through the wound, and finally hide in the blood."

A sharp light flashed in Li Luoling's eyes.

This is the blood spirit clan's usual way of lurking, and it can be said that it is impossible to prevent.

And the possessed human race monks often do not realize that they have been hidden.

It is also very troublesome to deal with.

"There is such a strange method."

Liu Qingxuan was also vigilant in his heart.

Sure enough, the horrors of this world are far from being exposed.

"What means to prevent it?"

"Don't get hurt."

Liu Qingxuan frowned, this request is a bit difficult.

Battle injuries are inevitable.

"But it's not a big problem. After reaching the semi-holy realm, the golden body is complete, and the blood spirit clan may not be able to get out if they dare to come in. You don't have to worry about this problem."

Li Luoling thought for a while and then said.

Liu Qingxuan: "..."

Well, he still has to worry about it.

"Now... can you kill?"

Li Luoling asked again.

After all, she came with Liu Qingxuan this time, and if she made a direct move, it might bring trouble to Liu Qingxuan.

So she asked first, and if there was trouble, she could wait.

If you can't kill it now, then you can kill it later.

"Don't you need to catch it, maybe you can ask something?"

Liu Qingxuan thought for a while.

"Uh... that's okay..."

Li Luoling was stunned for a moment, it seemed to make sense, and he really didn't need to kill, it would be better to catch him.

Liu Qingxuan: "..."

He thought he had to kill it.

It turned out that Li Luoling had been thinking about killing.

At this time, Ye Haotian was walking towards Feng Yangyu as a teacher.

But in his mind, he was actually constantly communicating with that mysterious voice.

"Senior, since you supported the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, why did you come to me..."

Ye Haotian felt a little strange in his heart.

Since the Yin-Yang Demon Sect has already been controlled by this person, and he is also a member of the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, why should he find his own?

"Because... the dog I raised... seems to be a little disobedient and lacks discipline."

There was a hint of coldness in that hoarse voice.

Back then, this Yin-Yang Demon Sect was just a move randomly arranged by their Blood Spirit Race.

Just give some help in advance.

They don't care how far they can go.

The strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still very strong, and their blood spirits do not dare to interfere too much.

Now the strength of Yin Yang Demon Sect is enough for them, but it seems a little disobedient.

Ye Haotian didn't know how to answer when he heard this.

Feng Yangyu is a dog, so if he agrees, is he also a dog.

"They are dogs, but you are different... I can accept you as a disciple, and all you have to do then is to help me be optimistic about the Yin-Yang Demon Sect..."

Seemingly aware of Ye Haotian's inner thoughts, the voice spoke slowly again.

"Are you accepting apprentices again..."

Ye Haotian sneered in his heart.

In his eyes, what about accepting apprentices.

What can the teacher-disciple relationship prove?

When he was in the hands of Liu Qingxuan before, he was different from being beaten and scolded, what was the difference between him and a dog.

"Senior, what do I need to do?"

Ye Haotian still questioned.

This is an opportunity to strengthen himself, and he doesn't want to give up at once.

"You don't have to do anything else, just help me take good care of Feng Yangyu, and I will take you away in the future."

Ye Haotian didn't answer immediately.

But he was actually moved.

You don't need to do anything anyway.

But he still didn't want to agree.

Pies do not fall from the sky.

He still has to think about it carefully, he can't really believe everything just because someone else said a few words.

"Licheng!"

At this moment, a loud voice sounded in the hall.

Before he knew it, Ye Haotian had completed the apprenticeship ceremony.

Officially became Feng Yangyu's disciple.

However, not many people really care about this at all.

Liu Qingxuan and Li Luoling were looking for an opportunity to seize the disciple who was possessed by the Blood Spirit Race.

The group of people who came with Liu Qingxuan were waiting for Liu Qingxuan to take action.

They were all in a hurry.

Even Ye Haotian, the party involved, has been communicating with the voice in his head.

With a stronger backer, he doesn't care much about Feng Yangyu anymore.

What kind of **** disciple, and what kind of Yin-Yang Demon Sect's Sect Master, the entire Yin-Yang Demon Sect is someone else's dog, will he still care?

What he cares about is how much he will be restrained in the future if he agrees to the voice in his mind.

He was also afraid that he, like Feng Yangyu, would be treated like a dog.

No matter how important a dog is, it is also a dog.

If the dog is disobedient, won't the owner start to deal with it?

Moreover, if he refuses, will he be hacked again.

"Congratulations, congratulations to Sect Master Feng."

"Sect Master Feng, with this beloved disciple, the Yin-Yang Demon Sect will be very happy."

"congratulations."

"Sect Master Feng is not far from retirement."

"…"

…

Seeing that the apprenticeship ceremony was over, many people got up one after another and began to congratulate Feng Yangyu.

The face is still very good.

"Hahaha, everyone, I've won the prize..."

Feng Yangyu's face naturally showed a happy smile.

"By the way, taking this opportunity, I have one more thing to announce to you."

Feng Yangyu seemed to remember something again, and then took the hands of Ye Haotian and Feng Yunni, and said to the others:

"Although the little girl Yunni and Haotian have known each other for two days, they both lived and died together in the Demon Dao Competition at that time, and Haotian was severely injured in order to save Yunni. Within a few days, a deep friendship was formed.

What I like most about Haotian is that he values ​​love and righteousness. He is even willing to risk himself in order to save others. After getting along during this period of time, the two have long been in love with each other. As a father, it is natural to see that Yun Ni is right How deep is Haotian's feelings, so I decided to marry Yunni to Haotian! "

Feng Yangyu exaggerated and praised Ye Haotian, and told how strong the relationship between the two was.

But the expressions of the people in the audience were obviously playful.

Don't brag, who doesn't know who.

At that time, Ye Haotian had betrayed the Yin-Yang Demon Sect that he joined the Blood Moon Sect.

Who doesn't know this time.

This is also about love and righteousness, do you believe it yourself?

As for your daughter, that scene of hugging from left to right is still in everyone's mind.

Don't play like a jade girl.

Everyone knows what virtue is.

But thinking about it this way, the two are really a good match, after all, neither is a good thing.

"Hahaha, that's really hilarious."

"I can only congratulate Sect Master Feng once again."

"Sect Master Feng is very lucky."

"Congratulations, today is a double happiness."

"…"

…

Everyone opened their mouths in a pretentious manner.

Although everyone was congratulating Feng Yangyu on the surface, in fact, the inner thoughts were hard to say.

When it comes to acting, everyone does.

Even the sects that are friends with the Yin-Yang Demon Sect are the same.

The Yin-Yang Demon Sect is used to being domineering on weekdays, and even if they are friendly, it is not necessarily sincere.

This kind of friendship with Liu Qingxuan is obviously different.

It's like the difference between a close friend and a faggot.

Both are friends, but the difference is big.

As long as these people have greater interests, or are unprofitable, they will abandon the Yin-Yang Demon Sect.

at this time.

Both Ye Haotian and Feng Yunni's eyes flickered.

Not to mention other people, both of them are disdainful in their hearts.

Is this Feng Yunni (Ye Haotian) also worthy of him?

This is the common thought of both of them.

Naturally, other disciples of the Yin-Yang Demon Sect would not agree to this marriage.

But they dare not come out against it.

Now that I think about it, Feng Yangyu is the only one who is really happy about this.

I saw Feng Yangyu gently pulling the two closer, and then showed kindly hope: "Haotian, in the future, Yunni will be handed over to you as a teacher. Are you willing to marry Yunni as your wife?"

Ye Haotian really hesitated at this moment.

If it was before, it was impossible for him to hesitate, but now he may have other backers.

Do you still need to marry Feng Yunni?

Does she fit too?

"Huh? Haotian?"

Seeing that Ye Haotian hesitated, Feng Yangyu's eyes suddenly froze, and his tone changed.

The eyes of the other spectators also lit up.

Oh?

Is this a play?

Could it be that Ye Haotian refused?

Many people are excited, this is the plot they want to see.

"Promise him!"

At this moment, the extremely hoarse voice in Ye Haotian's mind sounded.

"Haotian naturally agreed."

Ye Haotian's eyes flashed, and he agreed directly, and explained: "Haotian was so happy just now that he was so excited that he forgot to speak."

"Ok."

This time, Feng Yangyu's expression softened, and it was almost the same.

"pity."

Many people in the audience sighed.

Then Feng Yangyu also turned to Feng Yunni and said, "Yunni, my father is already old. In the future, I will hand you over to Haotian, and Haotian will protect me for the rest of your life."

When Feng Yunni heard the words, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Those beautiful eyes had narrowed into a crescent moon.

Then Feng Yunni looked up at Ye Haotian again, and said with longing: "Haotian, are you really willing to marry me?"

Hearing this, Ye Haotian immediately raised his head and raised his chest, his hands still held Feng Yunni's hand, and a solemn expression appeared on his face, and said, "Yunni, don't worry, I, Ye Haotian, would like to be your support in the future, and you will be yours in the future. The only wife in my life, protecting you is my life's mission."

Seeing this scene, Feng Yangyu immediately nodded with extreme satisfaction.

Very good.

This was the scene he wanted to see.

The people in the audience didn't know what they were thinking.

I feel that these people are indeed a family, and they really know how to act.

People who don't know how deep they think it is.

"Haotian..."

Feng Yunni's eyes were misty, and her face was also moved.

The next moment, Feng Yunni threw away Ye Haotian's hands, her face turned cold in an instant, and then she said coldly, "But I don't want to marry you!"

But I don't want to marry you!

Yes, Feng Yunni is unwilling to marry!

In front of everyone, Feng Yunni directly shouted out her thoughts!

This sentence seems to float at the head of the hall.

It seemed to reverberate in everyone's hearts for a long time.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

I almost thought I heard it wrong.

This…

What happened just now, what happened?

What they expected, actually happened.

Before they really just thought about it.

This time, many people were excited.

Doesn't this get better?

The previous scene of "Hello, I'm also good, conjugal love" really made them feel sick.

Liu Qingxuan and others also set their sights on Feng Yunni and others for the first time.

They were also shocked.

Although Liu Qingxuan had some expectations, he was somewhat unexpected when he saw that Feng Yunni could do this in front of so many people.

but…

What Feng Yunni does is really beautiful.

However, Feng Yangyu and Ye Haotian still didn't regain their senses, they both stayed longer than everyone else.

Both Ye Haotian and Feng Yangyu's bodies froze in place, and the smiles on their faces were completely frozen.

Are you dreaming now?

The two of them never imagined that Feng Yunni would dare to do this.

In other words, this was something Feng Yunni had planned for a long time.

She has been waiting for this moment?

Ye Haotian's hands began to tremble slowly.

He had already thought that in the future, Ye Haotian would become the laughing stock of the whole world.

Of course, it's not just him, Feng Yangyu and Yin Yang Demon Sect will all become the laughing stock.

Shame on you forever!

"Bitch!"

At this moment, a powerful hatred emerged in Ye Haotian's heart!

He hates!

This **** made him lose face.

His fists were clenched tightly, and even his fingers were inserted into the flesh and blood without the slightest reaction.

"Snapped!"

A heavy slap slapped directly on Feng Yunni's face.

This slap was so powerful that it directly slapped Feng Yunni to the ground.

Feng Yangyu's hands were shaking after slapping Feng Yunni, and her whole body was shaking.

How could he have imagined that such a thing would happen.

Although Feng Yunni occasionally rebelled, she always listened to his words.

In recent days, the relationship with Ye Haotian seems to be very harmonious, and the two even show their affection together in the Yin Yang Demon Sect.

As a result, this happened now.

"Yun Ni, are you crazy!"

Feng Yangyu's face showed a strong sense of regret, whether his childhood education was wrong.

At this moment, the whole audience held their breath and fell silent.

Needle drop can be heard at the scene.

The only thing that could be heard was Feng Yangyu's huge gasp.

"Father, I'm not crazy, I just don't want to marry!"

However, Feng Yunni, who fell to the ground, laughed.

There was a wanton smile on her face, a smug smile, a wanton laugh.

She is not crazy.

She had been planning for a long time.

She has been waiting for this day!

Feng Yangyu was determined to marry Ye Haotian, and she could not resist Feng Yangyu's decision by herself.

So she can only do this.

The atmosphere at the scene became more solemn.

Just when everyone didn't know how to proceed, Li Luoling suddenly moved.

Because of Feng Yunni's explosive speech, everyone's mind was attracted by her.

Even the disciple who was possessed before was the same.

He was still very vigilant at first, but now he is also a little relaxed.

Li Luoling's figure instantly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, Li Luoling had already appeared above the man.

"Certainly!"

I saw a golden talisman in Li Luoling's hand.

At the moment when no one reacted, this person was fixed in place.

"receive!"

Then a small bronze cauldron appeared on one of Li Luoling's hands. I saw her stretch out her hand, and a golden light flashed past and put the person in the bronze cauldron.

The next moment, Li Luoling pulled away.

Everyone hasn't even reacted, and it's all over.

Liu Qingxuan only felt as if he blinked, and Li Luoling came back after finishing his work.

"This…"

Liu Qingxuan became more vigilant in his heart.

Li Luoling has more means and treasures than he imagined.

It was really a fluke that he was able to survive under Li Luoling's hands at that time.

"Liu Qingxuan, what do you mean!"

Soon, the monk who had kidnapped his disciple roared angrily.

Although he didn't react immediately, he still saw how the disciple disappeared.

His disciple was captured by Li Luoling.

Li Luoling followed Liu Qingxuan again, so he naturally had to ask Liu Qingxuan for an explanation.

Others also responded.

what's the matter.

Why the sudden shot?

Everyone was a little confused.

I originally thought that Feng Yangyu's family's play was already a little good, but I didn't expect that there would be other episodes.

…

"No hate, Xue Xiangming."

Bai Suyi, who was on the side, silently helped Liu Qingxuan reveal the person's name.

Although he didn't know why Li Luoling did this just now, he still stood on Liu Qingxuan's side.

She believed that Liu Qingxuan had a reason for doing so.

"Sect Master Xue, don't panic, your disciple's life is safe."

Liu Qingxuan stood up and slightly cupped his hands.

Xue Xiangming frowned, what did Liu Qingxuan mean?

Feng Yangyu and Ye Haotian on the stage were relieved when they saw this.

At this moment, they actually thanked Liu Qingxuan.

If it wasn't for Liu Qingxuan to attract the attention of others, they would not know what to do.

If Feng Yangyu and Ye Haotian knew that Feng Yunni would do this, to a certain extent, they were influenced by Liu Qingxuan.

It is estimated that he will not thank Liu Qingxuan like this.

But anyway. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

This marriage is obviously not going to end.

Feng Yangyu was extremely ruthless in his heart.

He didn't know why his daughter did this.

Is there really such resistance?

"go."

Feng Yangyu voiced his voice to Ye Haotian and Feng Yangyu respectively.

Going now can save some face, and if you don't go, you will really lose everything.

Feng Yunni laughed and got up, that slap was neither painful nor itchy to her.

Being able to get rid of Ye Haotian is even more profitable.

Ye Haotian hated Feng Yunni in his heart, but he couldn't do anything now, he could only follow Feng Yangyu away.

What he didn't notice was that an imperceptible blood mist entered his body along the wound in his hand.
