They never would have thought that Family Head actually gave Ye Yuan such a highly courteous reception! Even when Vastsun City’s Zhou Family’s Family Head came to visit, it was absolutely impossible for Yue Jianqiu to mobilize the Eight Extremities War Chariot too!
But facing Ye Yuan, he actually used it!
Si Yin similarly looked at Ye Yuan with incredible astonishment. She did not think that Yue Jianqiu was really here to receive Ye Yuan.
It was only to see Ye Yuan slowly got up, and flew over toward the Eight Extremities War Chariot with a leap.
Seeing this scene, everyone was all stunned.
“This brat, does he really think that he’s something? Even if Family Head Yue really agreed to come and meet him, it’s also impossible to drive the Eight Extremities War Chariot, right?”
“What a joke! A Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat also dares to accept the name of master? Family Head Yue coming out personally is merely a coincidence. He really took it seriously!”
“Haha! This boy is simply a clown! Family Head Yue is currently receiving an honored guest, he actually ran up to make a spectacle of himself!”
For a moment, the mocking voices rose one after another.
Although Ye Yuan clamored to make Yue Jianqiu come all the way, they totally did not believe that Yue Jianqiu would personally ride the Eight Extremities War Chariot here to receive Ye Yuan.
The Eight Extremities War Chariot had once received many important personages before. But these big shots, there had never been one who was lower than Divine King Realm before!
Who did Ye Yuan think he was?
Yet, the scene of Ye Yuan being annihilated by the Eight Extremities War Chariot did not occur.
At this time, Yue Jianqiu actually got down the chariot and went to greet Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan looked at Yue Jianqiu and said coolly, “This facade of Family Head Yue’s is done a little over the top!”
Yue Jianqiu’s gaze was profound, currently sizing up Ye Yuan, rather surprised in his heart.
Ye Yuan was very young, but he did not have the least bit of young man’s impulsiveness on him. On the contrary, when Ye Yuan was facing him, he actually had the bearing of an expert!
Yue Jianqiu’s sovereign disposition was accumulated for months and years on end. Yet, when Ye Yuan was standing opposite him, his aura was actually not weak in the slightest!
This scene made him feel very discordant.
Yue Jianqiu said smilingly, “Master Ye’s alchemy strength is unparalleled. However solemnly I welcome you is not too much! This place isn’t a venue to speak. Master Ye, please board the chariot for a chat.”
Ye Yuan slowly nodded his head. Lifting his leg, he directly entered inside the Eight Extremities War Chariot.
But Yue Jianqiu did not enter inside right away. He nonchalantly threw down an instruction. “Feng-er, you nearly caused big trouble today. Go to the Disciplinary Hall yourself to receive punishment!”
Chapter 933. Inexplicably Frustrated |
On the Eight Extremities War Chariot, the atmosphere was rather odd.
After entering the war chariot, Yue Jianqiu’s behavior was completely different from the zealousness from before; cold until it made people somewhat chilly.
As for Ye Yuan, he poured himself a cup of wine and drank it all by himself casually, without the slightest feeling of aloofness.
“Bright Moon City’s specialty product, Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine. Mm … Not bad, not bad! It’s a shame that this wine is only middle-grade. Furthermore, its age is somewhat lacking. Family Head Yue is so stingy!” Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.
Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine was a top-grade fine wine on the same level as the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. Only by using Bright Moon City’s Soaring Moon Immortal Flower could it be distilled.
However, Yue Jianqiu clearly would not take the immortal grade Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine used to entertain distinguished guests to come and entertain Ye Yuan.
“Ye Yuan, you really gave such a big gift! Upon arriving at Bright Moon City, you threw it into pandemonium! And you still want this Yue to personally come out and receive you!” Although Yue Jianqiu’s words were calm, it faintly contained killing intent.
But Ye Yuan did not care at all. Looking at him, he said indifferently, “Bright Moon City’s hospitality, this Ye has also had a taste of it! When can this snobbish shortcoming be fixed? You arriving, I already gave you face and cooperated with you to act out a play. Otherwise, making me board this Eight Extremities War Chariot isn’t such an easy thing!”
Yue Jianqiu’s eyes narrowed slightly and revealed a glimmer of cold light. Clearly, his tolerance had reached the limits.
Ye Yuan’s words were too arrogant!
The Eight Extremities War Chariot was not what anybody could get on. Ye Yuan, a junior, being able to get on the Eight Extremities War Chariot was already an incomparably glorious thing.
This guy actually still dared to create difficulties?!
Yue Jianqiu putting up such a grand line-up earlier, the goal was in order to raise Ye Yuan’s status, making him become mysterious in the assessment of the public.
This way, him, Yue Jianqiu’s, personally coming out to receive would naturally not appear to lower his status.
Before departing, he even deliberately announced Yue Yunfeng’s punishment in front of the common people, indicating that today’s incident was just Yue Yunfeng’s individual fault, and had nothing to do with the Yue Family.
This blame, Yue Yunfeng shouldered it alone!
Yue Jianqiu resolved the Yue Family’s awkwardness with a lift of his hand. He was indeed a mighty ruler with a bold vision.
It was just that his displeasure towards Ye Yuan went without saying.
Therefore, after boarding the Eight Extremities War Chariot, he naturally would not show Ye Yuan any good attitude.
“Humph! Age is not old, but your tone isn’t small! Could it be that boarding my Eight Extremities War Chariot brought shame to your status? Don’t forget, you’re just a Lower Realms bumpkin!” Yue Jianqiu said with a cold snort.
“Just getting on a lousy war chariot, what’s the big deal. Other people care, but I, Ye Yuan, don’t care!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Speaking in terms of Ye Yuan’s peak Alchemy Emperor status, him boarding the Eight Extremities War Chariot was giving the Yue Family face.
It was just that circumstances have changed with the passage of time, Yue Jianqiu did not know that the one sitting opposite him was formerly the alchemy genius who had the Divine Realm at his beck and call.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, Yue Jianqiu could not help being speechless. This brat was too arrogant. He completely did not place him, this Rank One Holy Land’s leader, in his eyes.
Those who did not know would even think that Ye Yuan was some formidable Divine King powerhouse.
“Enough nonsense! Li-er’s illness, you’re really confident about it? Quan Xingzi has come and helped Li-er to diagnose before. Even he was at a loss on what to do as well!” Yue Jianqiu said with a grim look.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Quan Xingzi that old man is complacent with his own laurels, not worth mentioning. If he was able to cure it, that would be strange. But speaking of which, this Bright Moon Competition, what’s the meaning of it? How can your daughter’s lifetime happiness be determined with such a careless method?”
Ye Yuan had just entered the city but heard of the matter of the Bright Moon Competition too.
Numerous young talents gathering in Bright Moon City was actually in order to vie for Yue Mengli!
The first place of the Bright Moon Competition would marry Yue Mengli. As a dowry, Bright Moon City would open up a spot and let the future son-in-law enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!
Yue Mengli was indeed an unparalleled beauty. It was just that the news of her days being numbered had long spread already.
Those young geniuses coming here was probably not for Yue Meng
li’s sake at all, but for that chance to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!
What meaning did such a martial competition to find a spouse have as well?
Yue Jianqiu shot him a fierce glare and said, “It isn’t your turn to come and worry about the Yue Family’s affairs! Don’t say that I don’t give you a chance, if you’re sincere towards Li-er, then defeat all of the young talented men during the Bright Moon Competition!”
When Ye Yuan heard this, he involuntarily turned stuff, and he actually became immersed in his thoughts.
Seeing this scene, Yue Jianqiu sneered coldly in his heart.
This brat wanted to score outside of his league, Now, upon hearing that he had to deal with the outstanding young geniuses under the heavens, he immediately shriveled up.
Li-er’s heart was entirely tied to Ye Yuan. How could he, as her father, not tell? It was just that he felt that Li-er had entrusted to the wrong person now!
Yet, Ye Yuan’s current thoughts were completely poles apart from what Yue Jianqiu had on his mind.
The reason why he was in a daze was that he did not think Yue Jianqiu actually thought that he had designs on Li-er.
But regarding Yue Mengli, Ye Yuan indeed had a feeling which he could not put into words.
This sort of feeling was completely different from when he was facing other girls.
Ye Yuan involuntarily recalled the matter of Yue Mengli sneaking a kiss on him back then. Recalling it now, he actually felt his heart palpitate with excitement.
Could it be that he actually fell for Yue Mengli?
In his previous life, Ye Yuan put his whole body and mind into alchemy. And this life, his greatest goal was to take revenge on Ji Canglan. So he consciously or unconsciously refrained himself from thinking in this area.
Originally, Ye Yuan thought that he only had feelings of gratitude towards Yue Mengli. But looking at it now, it seemed like it was not simply so.
Except, what the conclusion was, Ye Yuan did not have a clear answer in his heart too.
“Good that you’re afraid! If you can really treat Li-er, the Yue Family naturally will not treat you unfairly. Except, if you’re using this as a chip to come and obtain Li-er, that’s impossible! However, I’ll say the nasty things first, if you can’t treat Li-er, I’ll make you regret ever being born in this world!” Yue Jianqiu said with a cold snort.
Ye Yuan collected his thoughts. Drinking a mouthful of Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine, he said coolly, “Li-er’s illness, you don’t have to worry! But organizing this Bright Moon Competition is really incomparably foolish! After Li-er’s illness is cured, her cultivation will advance at a tremendous pace! Before long, no one in your Yue Family will be her match anymore.”
Yue Jianqiu said in a deep voice, “Humph! Sounds nicer than it is! Li-er’s days are numbered, you also disappeared these two years. Furthermore, your cultivation realm is too low and can’t refine the Soul Separating Pill at all. Even if you really came, what’s the use? Li-er is born with the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique. The strength of her ocular powers is one of a kind in the Yue Family! If she really leaves like this, it will be a tremendous loss to the Yue Family. What do you know?”
Hearing these words, Ye Yuan was actually inexplicably frustrated in his heart.
Yue Jianqiu’s meaning was actually treating Yue Mengli as a tool to carry on the family line. Because descendants of the innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, there was a 30% chance to be of the innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique too!
Even if they were not, the descendants’ ocular powers were also much stronger compared to ordinary people.
It was precisely because of this that Yue Jianqiu would be willing to give up a spot to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, and also had to find a proud son-in-law for himself!
Chapter 934. Disappoint You! |
“Leave Li-er’s illness to me. The Yue Family cancel the Bright Moon Competition this time!” Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up. It was just that his gaze became somewhat icy.
But Yue Jianqiu said, “Impossible! Currently, geniuses have gathered in Bright Moon City. There are many forces that even the Yue Family can’t afford to provoke as well. Wanting to cancel the Bright Moon Competition is already not possible! Still that sentence, if you can win in the Bright Moon Competition, this Emperor will marry Li-er to you without another word!”
Yue Jianqiu’s words had some intention of giving tit for tat.
But this could not be blamed on him either. Now, the Bright Moon Competition was already an arrow fitted to the strong; not up to the Yue Family to not release anymore.
Ye Yuan’s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, “The geniuses you’re talking about, could it be Zhou Yan they all? Forget it, it’s up to you to organize the Bright Moon Competition too. Whoever wins, just come and challenge me!”
These words were said domineeringly!
Ye Yuan’s meaning was that those so-called geniuses were not worthy of exchanging blows with him at all.
Yue Jianqiu turned stiff, and he said in a deep voice, “Simply presumptuous! What right do you have to get a different treatment from the rest? Furthermore, you, a Heaven Enlightenment Realm, what qualifications do you have to accept other people’s challenge?”
“Yue Jianqiu, I think you shouldn’t be mistaken! Right now, I’m not discussing with you, I’m only informing you! Doing so is already giving your Yue Family face. If not looking on account of Li-er’s face, I’d have directly brought her away. Heh, don’t look at me with this sort of expression in your eyes. If I want to bring Li-er away, you can’t stop it at all! As for the reason, I think you know.” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Yue Jianqiu looked at Ye Yuan coldly, revealing a cold light.
This brat, facing him, this head of the Yue Family, he dared to be so unbridled too!
But Ye Yuan being so confident actually made him somewhat cautious in taking action.
He was naturally aware of what Ye Yuan was referring to. If the Soul Martial Divine King wanted to bring Li-er away, no one could stop it at all!
Clearly, this was also where Ye Yuan’s confidence lied.
Ye Yuan had an arrogant appearance, totally not placing Yue Jianqiu in his sights at all. This could not help thronging people with thoughts.
To the Yue Family and the Zhou Family, they speculated Ye Yuan’s identity before, and they felt that the greatest possibility was that Ye Yuan was Zhong Zizhen’s illegitimate son.
Otherwise, how could a puny little Heaven Enlightenment Realm possibly make one of the Ten Great Divine Kings take action?
Furthermore, Ye Yuan was exceptional in both the soul and martial arts. His alchemy strength was unparalleled; simply carved from the same mold.
Thinking up to here, how would Yue Jianqiu still have doubts?
“Fine, this emperor promises you! You’re so wildly arrogant, looking down on the Divine Realm’s outstanding heroes. I want to take a look at how much capability you have!” Yue Jianqiu said coldly.
Being kneaded by a junior, Yue Jianqiu felt as awful as having eaten a fly. Except, he ultimately had no choice but to agree to Ye Yuan’s demand.
…
The Yue Family was Bright Moon City’s de facto controller. The total area of the manor and courtyard was extremely vast.
Currently, beside a small lake with exquisite scenery, several figures were currently admiring the landscape and chatting.
“Oh Li-er, Yan-er has grown up together with you since young and has eyes only for you. The Zhou Family and Yue Family have been connected through marriage for generations. Why do you refuse to get together with Yan-er?”
A middle-aged woman did her best to persuade the young girl beside her earnestly. This young girl was none other than precisely Yue Mengli.
“Auntie, don’t make things difficult for Li-er anymore! The Bright Moon Competition this time, I’ll defeat all the geniuses and use my own strength to prove that I’m the one who’s most worthy of Li-er! F
urthermore, as long as I win, I can help the Yue Family keep the spot to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!”
Zhou Yan was present too. Except, he already cut in halfway without waiting for Yue Mengli to reply.
He was severely wounded by the Soul Martial Divine King the last time he went to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. The Zhou Family expended a huge price before obtaining the method to let Zhou Yan regain consciousness from the Soul Martial Divine King there.
But Zhou Yan’s talent was indeed very heaven-defying. Experiencing the serious injury this time, not only did his strength not regress, it advanced instead, and actually directly broke through the shackles of Dao Profound Realm, stepping into the ranks of Emperor Realm in one stroke!
So this time, that was why he was full of confidence, wanting to trample all the geniuses underfoot.
The middle-aged woman’s name was called Zhou Qianru, Zhou Jia’s cousin. She married Yue Jianqiu’s brother, Yue Jianke. Therefore, Zhou Yan called her auntie.
The Zhou Yan after breaking through to Dao Profound Realm, his edge seemed to be much more restrained, and he was also much more level-headed. It was just that he was still determined to get Yue Mengli.
“Li-er, in the past, you turned your nose up at Yan-er, that was because he was young. This time, he grew wiser with each setback and is already much more mature. Marrying him, the Zhou and Yue two families will be even more closely related. Wouldn’t it be better?” Zhou Qianru continued to persuade.
Zhou Yan said, “Auntie, don’t say anymore! Since Li-er said that she wants to marry the strongest genius, then … I’ll become that strongest one!”
The two people sang in chorus. Yue Mengli actually did not even have room to interject.
Actually, the initiator of the Bright Moon Competition this time was still Yue Mengli.
Back then, Yue Jianqiu was too relentless, insisting on her marrying Zhou Yan. But Yue Mengli refused to no matter what and said to Yue Jianqiu: If I, Yue Mengli, have to marry, I got to marry the strongest young genius too!”
Therefore, that was why there was the Bright Moon Competition this time.
