In front of so many people, moreover, it was City Lord Manor’s great joyous day, he did not believe that Qi Hai dared to do anything to him.
Qi Hai said with an icy look, “Does this old man still need to explain to you when doing things? Mm?”
Fu Yunjing instantly felt a tremendous pressure coming at him head-on, crushing him until he could not catch his breath.
He gritted his teeth and said obstinately, “Old Hai naturally doesn’t need to explain to me. But don’t you feel that suppressing people with force is inadequate to convince the masses? Justice lies in the hearts of people! Old Hai can kill me, but it’s hard to shut the mouths of everybody!”
Qi Hai did not expect that this Fu Yunjing still had some backbone. Facing his pressure, he actually did not back down in the slightest.
He could, of course, kill Fu Yunjing with one palm. But Wu Xuan would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Fu Yunjing was precisely eyeing this point; that was why he dared to be so unyielding.
Today was different than the time with Wu Rong. At that time, Qi Hai was standing on the standpoint of a righteous cause. Others did not dare to say much about killing people.
Now, Fu Yunjing stirred up the situation. If Qi Hai really killed him, then Wu Xuan would ascertain the label of plagiarism and would also have no way of keeping a foothold in Wu Fang City in the future.
For a moment, Qi Hai could not help being at the dilemma to advance or retreat.

Ye Yuan also did not think that Fu Yunjing was so persistent, to actually dare to lock horns with Qi Hai.
Fu Yunjing had also grabbed Qi Hai’s soft spot, making it rather hard for Qi Hai to do things.
Ye Yuan’s divine sense moved and transmitted his voice to Qi Hai.
Fu Yunjing saw the situation and knew that the two were transmitting voices through divine sense. His heart involuntarily pounded.
But, on second thought, as long as Wu Xuan did not dare to publicize the formula, his words would have no weakness to exploit. And if Wu Xuan dared to make the recipe known, even though he would lose reputation, Wu Xuan would have no way of monopolizing the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew either. The losses in between this would be huge.
At this point, even if it harmed others without benefits, he had to push on as well.
Asking him to swallow this insult, he was unable to do it.
But not knowing why, the youth beside Qi Hai kept on giving him an unfathomable feel.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s voice transmission, Qi Hai’s eyes gradually lit up. Looking at Fu Yunjing, he said in an oppressive manner, “You said that you improved the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew’s formula. Then, do you know what you lack in your formula, resulting in the taste to be inferior to the one brewed by Wu Xuan?”
Fu Yunjing was stupefied. He immediately said with a cold smile, “Hearing Old Hai’s meaning, you actually know my recipe? You’re . . . confessing everything without duress here!”
Fu Yunjing’s words immediately caused a stir.
Just as Fu Yunjing said, wasn’t Qi Hai confessing everything without being pressed here?
Fu Yunjing’s formula, only he himself knew. How did Qi Hai know what Fu Yunjing’s recipe lacked?
Between Qi Hai and Wu Xuan, there had to be someone who plagiarized Fu Yunjing’s formula.
And between the two of them, everyone would naturally think that it was done by Wu Xuan, and Qi Hai was just stepping forward to defend Wu Xuan on account of Ye Yuan’s face.
Qi Hai was not startled nor in panic as he said coolly, “That’s right. Last time, when I went to Wu Xuan’s place, he invited me to drink a flask of the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew that he got from you. I discerned that it was not right with one taste. As luck would have it, I had some research regarding this stuff. It’s just that I never had the time to make it. So, I gave the formula to Wu Xuan. This formula . . . came from the Divine Realm.”
Fu Yunjing already had a stance like a dead pig not being afraid of boiling water being scaling right now. He might as well act all the way shamelessly.
Hearing Qi Hai said so, he said with a cold sneer, “I know that Old Hai has all kinds of connections with the Divine Realm. But I’m afraid that you’re thinking too simply by wanting to use ‘Divine Realm’ these two words to shut everybody’s mouths, right? Hearing Old Hai’s words, you just drank a mouthful and then knew my formula inside-out. Isn’t this too laughable?”
“Huhu, I’ll report the formula. You see if it’s correct.”
As he said, Qi Hai started to report the materials used to brew the wine one by one. Altogether there were actually a hundred over types.
And Fu Yunjing’s expression became increasingly uglier along with Qi Hai’s reporting.
The recipe that Qi Hai reported was actually the exact same as the one he obtained! Even the quantity used for these ingredients were not the slightest bit off; just like he saw the recipe with his own eyes.
With this, even Fu Yunjing himself could not help somewhat doubting as well if Qi Hai and Wu Xuan really plagiarized his recipe.
Of course, those with the same thinking as him was not in the minority. There were even some people already starting to whisper under their breaths.
“Could Old Hai have really plagiarized Fu Yunjing’s recipe? You guys look at Fu Yunjing’s expression. What Old Hai said is definitely not far off the mark.”
“Yeah. What is Old Hai playing at here? Even if he really stole Fu Yunjing’s formula, he doesn’t need to go so far as to say it out so generously, right? Even though he’s a senior, doing so would destroy his reputation too!”
“Isn’t Old Hai bullying people with his power here? Doing this is also too overboard!”
Qi Hai’s strength was indeed formidable. But if he used his power to bully people like this, it was impossible for others to be convinced either.
Other people did not dare to do anything to Qi Hai. But Wu Xuan’s reputation would be rotten in the future.
After Qi Hai reported all of the ingredients, Fu Yunjing’s expression was ugly to the extreme.
Qi Hai saying this was equivalent to making his recipe known to the public. In the future, he would have no way of using the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew to keep a foothold in this Wu Fang City anymore either.
Even though he was already replaced by Wu Xuan now.
“Heh heh, really didn’t expect that Old Hai’s face was actually so thick! Stole my formula and actually even admitted it swaggeringly! Truly shameless to the extreme!”
Qi Hai said with a smile, “When did I admit that I stole your formula?”
Fu Yunjing was stunned. Wasn’t he too shameless?
Already at such an extent and still not admitting it?
“Hearing what you said earlier, you’re admitting that the formula I said was correct? No need to deny. Other people are not fools either. They could tell long ago,” Qi Hai still said coolly.
Fu Yunjing’s expression became black, and he suddenly had a foreboding premonition.
Indeed, Qi Hai continued, “You said that you improved the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew recipe. I wonder how did you improve it?”
Fu Yunjing’s heart plummeted. Turns out that it was waiting here!
“Heh, why do I have to tell you?” Fu Yunjing said, appearing tough outwardly, but timid inside.
Qi Hai said, “I can tell you that in your recipe, five kinds of ingredients are missing. As long as you can say out the names of these five kinds of ingredients, Wu Xuan would naturally have plagiarized your formula. But if you can’t say it, then scram right now for this old man! Otherwise . . . don’t blame this old man for being impolite!”
Fu Yunjing’s expression changed repeatedly. When did he really improve the formula?
This Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, even in the Divine Realm, it was a top-grade immortal brew that not every
one could drink. If Fu Yunjing really had this capability, he would have long ascended to the Divine Realm. Why was there a need to fool around in this Wu Fang City still?
But if he did not say a thing, wouldn’t it be admitting that he was finding fault for no reason?
Heh, I’ll just casually report five kinds of ingredients. Could it be that you really dare to make the recipe known to all?
Fu Yunjing snickered coldly inwardly and casually reported five kinds of materials. They were all ingredients frequently used in brewing alcohol. Listening to it seemed well-grounded and reasonable.
Qi Hai gave a cold laugh and said, “Utter nonsense! Don’t know what you’re talking about! Truly shameless enough!”
Fu Yunjing said delightedly, “Since Old Hai say that I’m uttering nonsense, then you say out those five kinds of materials!”
“Don’t need five kinds. One is enough! In my recipe has Seven Star Grass. Seven Star Grass will become lilac color when coming into contact with Sulfur Flame Powder. Come, men! Go and retrieve some Sulfur Flame Powder over. One try, and it will be clear!” Qi Hai said coolly.
Fu Yunjing was still cheerily confident earlier. But at this time, his face was deathly pale.
Wu Fang City was the alchemy holy land. Many families present were all alchemy families. They were naturally not foreign to this Seven Star Grass.
He never would have thought that Qi Hai pressed hard at every step; finally, it was actually using this sort of method to make him reveal his true colors!
At this time, he could not resist turning his eyes towards Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing hatred.
Fu Yunjing had never heard before that Qi Hai knew alchemy. He had never heard before that Qi Hai knew how to brew alcohol, let alone believe that Qi Hai could report out all of the ingredients just by sampling a taste of his wine!
Earlier, Ye Yuan clearly said something to Qi Hai with voice transmission. Could it be that everything that Qi Hai said was this young man’s scheme?

“Changed! Changed! It really changed!”
“The Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew really has Seven Star Grass inside!”
“Fu Yunjing is too much! To actually slander Wu Xuan like this! This fellow is really shameless!”
. . . . . .
Following placing a small amount of white colored powder into a cup of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, the originally clear liquor became lilac color very quickly.
With this, just who caused a disturbance first was perfectly clear.
Many people had a feeling of being duped and became indignant right away, cursing Fu Yunjing’s shamelessness.
This fellow was clearly envious that Wu Xuan brewed better Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew than what he could. That was why he vilified Wu Xuan.
What improve the formula! Utter bullshit!
“What are you still standing there for? Could it be you still want this old man to invite you to leave? Get lost!” Qi Hai said coldly.
If today wasn’t Ye Yuan’s parents’ joyous day, Qi Hai might have made a move and injured people.
This fellow actually forced him into a very awkward situation earlier. If not for Ye Yuan instructing him secretly on how to break the deadlock, he would really be stuck today.
Although Qi Hai was very easy-going, this did not mean that anyone could trample on his reputation.
Although Fu Yunjing’s strength was decent, it was still lacking in front of Qi Hai, and he did not have the qualifications to pick a fight with him either.
Being forced into a dilemma by such a person, the fury in Qi Hai’s heart could be imagined.
The lie was exposed. Fu Yunjing naturally had no face to stay here anymore either. In truth, he already incurred public wrath today. In the future, he would probably have no way of even staying in this Wu Fang City.
Fu Yunjing shot Ye Yuan a fierce glare and said with a cold snort, “Leave then leave! This old man admits to his bad luck today! Boy, we’ll wait and see! I, Fu Yunjing, will officially break away from Wu Fang City starting from today!”
Leaving behind a few fierce words, Fu Yunjing flicked his sleeves grandly and hastened out of the entrance like fleeing.
Seeing this scene, Qi Hai’s expression darkened slightly. He said to Ning Yixian, “Send people to keep an eye on this old punk. Today isn’t suited to get into a fight. After today passes, take good care of him for me!”
“Yes, Old Hai!”
Ning Yixian was also fooled by Fu Yunjing just now and even thought that Wu Xuan really stole the recipe.
To talk about taking care of Fu Yunjing, he had no problems at all, nodding his head at once and consenting to this.
Fu Yunjing was just an itinerant Alchemy Sovereign in Wu Fang City. Even though his strength was passable, he did not have too great of a background.
In the past, he still had some status among Wu Fang City’s upper echelons relying on the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. But his actions today truly offended many people. Everybody naturally did not have much of a favorable impression towards him anymore either.
“Alright, alright! The time is almost here. Don’t dampen everybody’s spirits because of a stinky bug like this. Fine wine and delicacies are ahead. Everyone best savors it to your heart’s content!” Qi Hai said coolly.
With this reminder, everyone all came back to their senses as well.
There was free Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew to savor today. There wouldn’t be this stall anymore after passing this village.
While the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew which Wu Xuan brought here today was a lot, with so many people getting a share, there was actually not much left either.
Hence, the more these people drank, the more they treasured it. The more they drank, they more they would reminisce the aftertaste.
There were some people present who had drunk before Fu Yunjing’s Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. But this wine drank today was even more fragrant than his.
Before long, Ren Yujie walked into the main hall and called out in a clear voice, “The auspicious hour has arrived! Please welcome, the City Lord, His Excellency!”
Ren Xingchun walked out in slow strides. He walked to the highest seat of honor and took his seat.
“Please welcome, the groom and the bride!”
The groom Ye Hang, all dressed in red-robes, led Ren Hongling who was wearing phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes and walked out too.
Next, was bowing to heaven and earth.
Ye Yuan looked at his blissful looking parents from below. A warm current brimmed in his heart too.
Actually, in his mother’s heart, she still worried about this unreasonable father of hers. This point, Ye Yuan was naturally clear in his heart as somebody with two lifetimes. Otherwise, he would not give Ren Xingchun a chance either.
With Ren Xingchun this backing, Ye Yuan could put his mind completely at ease when going out to make a break in the future.
The remaining thing was to deal with the Fierce Gale World’s invasion.
Ye Yuan kept feeling that the Fierce Gale World’s invasion had some areas which were not right. But he could never figure out what was wrong.
This feeling of losing control made him very uncomfortable.
But this kind of thing, unless Zhao Tianyin told him personally, otherwise, there was simply no way of knowing. Now, he could only just take it one step at a time too.
The most important thing now was still to increase his strength as soon as possible. Only through his way could he have the strength to protect himself facing these Fierce Gale World’s experts.
Even though his current strength far surpassed martial artists at the same rank, in front of a real expert in a true battle, he still could not take a single blow.
Hence, Ye Yuan was still harboring considerable hope towards the Vast Heaven Pagoda inheritance this time.
After the ceremony ended, Ren Xingchun suddenly got up an
d said in a clear voice, “Thank you all for coming to support. This Ren is endlessly grateful. Taking advantage of this joyous day today, this Ren still has something to announce.”
Ren Xingchun paused for a bit, glanced at Ye Yuan, and said, “This old man did a wrong thing back then. This matter, everybody is already aware. This old man won’t hide it from everyone either. Today, it’s all thanks to this grandson of mine that I was able to see the error of my ways and repent! Therefore, today, I want to appoint Ye Yuan as Wu Fang City’s Young Lord. I wonder what are everyone’s opinions?”
Although City Lord Manor had the final say in Wu Fang City, the Ren Family was not the fixed city lord.
Back then, the Cao Family dominated the city lord position for a very long time but was replaced by Ren Xingchun.
Hence, for Ren Xingchun to want to appoint a young lord, it still needed to go through everyone’s approval.
Ye Yuan, regardless whether was it talent or strength, there was probably not a single person who dared to say a word of objection.
Ye Yuan being this young lord was naturally also getting what was deserved.
“Ye Yuan is a young hero. He can naturally take on this great responsibility!”
“I have no objections. City Lord, you make the call!”
“This Cao represents the Cao Family and firmly endorses Young Lord Ye Yuan!”
When Ren Xingchun’s words were spoken, everyone all clamored to respond.
Seeing this scene, Ren Xingchun nodded his head slightly too and said to Ye Yuan, “Ye Yuan, from now onwards, you’ll be . . .”
“Hold on!” Ye Yuan extended a hand and interrupted Ren Xingchun’s words, saying, “This status of a young lord, I’m not interested!”
Ren Xingchun’s face went black. Wasn’t this punk too uncivil?
Wu Fang City’s Young Lord was an existence on the same level as the Three Sect’s head disciples. It was already the highest position among the Endless World’s junior generation.
This boy actually refused!
