Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Celebration Party_1
Canglang State.
Within Shenyu Palace.
An elder with dusk nearing was holding a wooden fishing rod, intently watching the koi swimming delightfully in the pond.
One end of the white silk line was connected to the fishing rod, while the other naturally dangled down without a fishhook.
He had been motionless for a long time, his body gathering dust and even a small lizard lying on his back, its cheeks puffing and contracting.
Standing quietly behind him was a young man.
It was after a long while that the elder slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light shot out, and ripples spread across the water’s surface.
"What is it?"
The young man hastened to nod, first offering congratulations:
"Congratulations, Sect Master, for your strength has improved further."
"During the time the Sect Master was in secluded cultivation, many things have happened at the Qianyuan Grand Competition, Elder Zhang Shunlong... is dead."
"Dead?"
The elder widened his eyes, turning his head to look at the young man:
"He has been in the Ground Element realm for decades and his methods are endless, yet someone managed to kill him?"
The young man bowed deeper, saying in a heavy voice:
"Yes, it was a man in his twenties, even Wang Yang and Zhang Xuanwen, were no match for him."
Crack!
The wooden fishing rod snapped, the silk line also burst, killing all the koi, which then floated to the surface of the water.
"In his twenties? Interesting."
"For cultivators at the entry level to kill a master is difficult, to kill a master in two moves is even harder than reaching the heavens."
The elder spoke and then suddenly stood up.
His originally hunched and skinny figure stretched up, like a sword piercing the wind, showing its sharp edge, intimidating all around!
"During these years of my secluded cultivation, it seems some have already forgotten me, Zhou Weisheng."
"Well, it’s time for me to end my seclusion."
...
Ye Fei first arranged A Si to be detained in the martial department, ordering the generals to keep strict watch over her.
Without Spiritual Energy, she was no different from an ordinary person.
Any ancient martial artist selected at random from the martial department could easily subdue her.
After changing into clean clothes, Ye Fei returned home.
Yesterday, Ye Fei, with his Ground Element cultivation, had forcibly activated that sword strike, destroying the grand array within Upside-down Mountain, and had seriously depleted his own Spiritual Energy.
"I’m afraid I won’t be able to unleash such a sword strike for a long time to come."
Ye Fei thought, but he had no worries in his heart.
Even if he could no longer use such a sword strike, A Si was now confined by his side.
And even with only the first level of the Ground Element, he could sweep through cultivators of the same level.
As long as he didn’t encounter an opponent too formidable, Ye Fei had nothing to fear.
After consuming many Spiritual Energy Pills, Ye Fei cultivated for a whole day to replenish his Spiritual Energy.
When he opened his eyes, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.
...
In the suburbs of Qingyun State, a seaside manor was now radiant and lively.
The number of martial artists attending the gathering increased over time.
When Ye Fei arrived, there were only around fifty people, and now there were over a hundred.
"Ye Fei, why have you brought me here?"
A Si held a cup of wine, frowning at Ye Fei.
A layer of veil covered her face as she was unwilling to show her true face.
"Don’t you have a wife? What, do you think she isn’t presentable enough?"
A Si smirked teasingly, her eyes revealing a hint of mockery.
Ye Fei smiled indifferently, stepped forward, and placed a hand on A Si’s shoulder.
"I didn’t bring my wife because her identity isn’t quite suitable for this kind of ancient martial artists’ gathering. As for you..."
A thread of Spiritual Power flowed from Ye Fei’s palm into A Si, stirring the several silver needles inside her body.
In an instant, A Si’s face turned pale, and pain pierced her chest.
"Sharp-tongued, do you want me to treat you? You know, I’m a doctor."
Ye Fei said, grinning.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, A Si turned her head away.
"Mister Ye!"
A tender call came from behind, and Ye Fei looked back to see Luo Qiuyu.
"How come you are here too? Where’s Han Guang?"
Ye Fei said with a smile, chatting with her.
"Han Guang lately seems to have had some insight and is now holed up at home cultivating."
Luo Qiuyu laughed. Today, she was wearing a red dress that trailed on the floor, her impressive figure fully revealed.
With a touch of makeup and a dark-themed cosmetic, she had a cool and peerless charm.
Looking at Ye Fei, her eyes showed a touch of joy.
Twenty days ago, Ye Fei was just someone she accompanied to a competition.
Now, he was the famous Master Ye, and the majority of people at this gathering probably came to see Master Ye’s face.
Just as Ye Fei was about to speak, a voice full of supreme arrogance interrupted:
"Ye with the surname, what are you doing here?"
Ye Fei turned to see a corpulent man, around whose arm a heavily made-up female star was entwined.
Ye Fei frowned slightly, recognizing this person.
Yesterday, at Li Lanyun’s shop, it was this man called Boss Huang who wanted to buy his uncut jade for ten million.
Ye Fei refused to sell and even declared that Boss Huang would regret it in three days.
Unexpectedly, they ran into each other today.
"Meeting here today also has some fate involved."
Boss Huang laughed loudly, looking at Ye Fei in an extremely arrogant manner:
"I’ll give you another chance now, fifteen million, hand over the two bracelets."
"Boss Huang..."
The female star in his arms quietly spoke up, leaning in to whisper a few words in his fatty ear.
Afterward, Boss Huang waved his hand dismissively, glancing at Ye Fei with disdain and spoke straightforwardly:
"What big shot, I’ve checked him out, he’s just a son-in-law who married into the Su Family, a freeloader. Does he really think that marrying into the Su Family makes him a golden phoenix?"
"Moreover, the Su Family also has been having a hard time lately. Once I deal with them, they wouldn’t dare to say anything."
"Dare to refuse my kindness? Doesn’t he look at what he really is!"
"Just a son-in-law of the Su Family, striking up a relationship with me is the blessing of his eight generations, yet he dares to be ungrateful?"
Boss Huang said, looking at Ye Fei with a scornful smile:
"Ye, I’ll ask you once more, are you going to sell the bracelets or not?!"
