“This is Yao City! Not your Sha Kingdom!” Su Zhengping stared at the Sha Kingdom side and said word by word, “Allowing you to come for the contest is already the greatest favour. Do not think Yao Kingdom is easy to bully!”
Though Su Zhengping’s voice was not loud, it made the Sha Kingdom people’s expressions extremely ugly. The Sha Kingdom leader stared fixedly at Ye Chu. After a long moment, he shouted to his group, “We leave!”
The Sha Kingdom cultivators lifted Sha Shi and the others, following the darkly faced Sha Kingdom leader out of the arena.
Only Pang Shao and Ye Chu remained in the arena. Watching Ye Chu pat the dust off his clothes, the Yao City crowd fell silent, their hearts shaken by today’s outcome.
The Ye Chu they had always cursed as scum, as waste, had stepped up at the most critical moment to win victory for Yao City, and in such a stunning manner.
Some could not help glancing at Chen Bowen, Yao City’s former number one. Not long ago, he had looked down on Ye Chu, even wanting to teach him a lesson. They wondered what he thought now.
Seeing everyone look at him, Chen Bowen’s face turned ugly. He felt his cheeks burn. He had never felt such humiliating shame as now.
Ye Li also stared at Ye Chu with a complicated expression. With the strength Ye Chu had just displayed, he far surpassed his two proud sons. The one he had always despised as the family disgrace had shown such a side before him, like a hard slap to his face!
Ye Li could not describe his feelings, but whatever they were, Ye Chu would not know. Ye Chu walked to the stunned Liang Shan and patted him. “What are you doing standing here? Let us go!”
“Oh! Right!” Liang Shan reacted, jumping excitedly to Ye Chu’s side and following him.
“Ye Chu!” Watching Ye Chu act as if nothing had happened and prepare to leave, Ye Tian finally could not hold back and called out.
“Hmm?” Ye Chu turned to look at Ye Tian. After a slight pause, he said, “The evil qi in your body has been dispelled. Rest a few days and your injuries will heal. Do not be so foolish in future. Not every time will someone help you. This time, consider it repaying what I owed you back then!”
His words made everyone’s gaze turn involuntarily to Ye Li. They wondered if the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, knowing Ye Chu’s strength, would still expel him from the family.
“You should understand Grandfather’s difficulties. You know how much he doted on you back then. I was jealous before, but now I realise Grandfather truly had keen eyes!” Ye Tian looked at Ye Chu and said.
“I know!” Ye Chu naturally knew. In the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the one who doted on him most was the Marquis. Whatever trouble he caused, the Marquis cleaned up. If not for the irreparable disaster Ye Chu provoked, the Marquis would not have let him fend for himself.
Ye Chu patted Ye Tian’s shoulder. “Though I can no longer call you big brother, I still entrust you with one thing. Take good care of him!”
With that, Ye Chu led Liang Shan and Pang Shao out of the arena.
“Ye Chu!” Ye Tian called again.
Ye Chu paused, waiting for Ye Tian’s words. “What realm are you at now?”
His question made Su Zhengping and everyone turn sideways to Ye Chu, including Pang Shao. All stared at him intently. Everyone wanted to know what realm Ye Chu, unseen for three years, had reached.
“Invincible below innate! Peak conceptual realm!” Ye Chu did not turn back. His voice, not loud, reached Ye Tian and the others.
“Hiss…”
Many drew sharp breaths. No wonder Ye Chu could block an innate strike. But his tone was too arrogant! Even at peak conceptual realm, one could not claim invincibility below innate! Did he have such confidence that no other peak conceptual realm was his match?
Only Ye Tian and those who had reached conceptual realm fell silent. They knew how difficult the path was. Yet Ye Chu had caught up from behind, far surpassing them.
“Su Rong, what are you doing?” Zhang Su’er saw Su Rong actually chasing after Ye Chu’s group of three and hurriedly called. Those three were all notorious, especially Pang Shao who always coveted them. Chasing them was like delivering themselves!
“Follow me! Do not worry. They will not do anything to us!” Su Rong said to Zhang Su’er.
Though the women did not know where Su Rong’s confidence came from, seeing her say so, they followed her in pursuit.
“Ye Chu! Wait!” Su Rong caught up to Ye Chu and called.
Ye Chu stopped and turned to Su Rong. His gaze swept over her graceful, beautiful figure. Su Rong’s lovely face shimmered with faint soft light, her fair neck flushed beautifully from running. Ye Chu’s eyes lingered momentarily on her rising and falling full chest.
“Anything?” Ye Chu’s mouth curved in his usual smile, relaxed and lazy, somewhat decadent, always adding a touch of evil charm.
“Will you return the thing?” Su Rong’s beautiful eyes flowed with colour, staring straight at Ye Chu.
“Sorry! I do not know what you mean!” Ye Chu patted Pang Shao beside him. Pang Shao’s eyes already gleamed green, fixed on the group of women, lost in who knew what thoughts.
“Heh heh! Ye Chu, you will not stop me from finding women tonight, right?” Pang Shao chuckled.
His words instantly changed Zhang Su’er and the women’s expressions. They looked at Pang Shao with disgust.
“Do as you please!” Ye Chu could not be bothered with Pang Shao and shrugged.
Pang Shao was about to say something, but seeing the women glare at him angrily, his interest plummeted. “Forget it! Tonight I will drink with Liang Shan instead!”
Su Rong ignored Pang Shao. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Chu. “You know what I mean? Hand over what you took that night!”
“I do not understand!” Ye Chu shrugged. “If nothing else, I will go.”
Seeing Ye Chu truly turn to leave, Su Rong called to his back. “Are you not afraid I will tell the palace?”
Ye Chu shrugged. “Tell if you want! Just, have those two recovered from their injuries? If not, Yao City will struggle to find anyone to trouble me. Haha…”
Ye Chu’s laughter infuriated Su Rong. But she had to admit it was true. The two national guardian masters were severely injured that night. They certainly could not act against Ye Chu. With the strength Ye Chu revealed today, few in Yao City dared trouble him.
“Fine! It is dark. Go home, wash, and sleep! Duke Zhou’s daughter and son are very lonely and need our comfort!” Ye Chu waved at Su Rong and left with Pang Shao. Once something was in his hands, was there reason to return it? They underestimated him too much!
Pang Shao grinned at Zhang Su’er, making her glare angrily, but Pang Shao cared not at all. Instead, he caught up to Ye Chu. “Ye Chu! I will give you face today and not find Yao City women to sleep with! How about it? Will you rob a few Sha Kingdom women for me?”
“You not finding them has nothing to do with me?” Ye Chu glanced at Pang Shao disdainfully. “If you are not afraid of that innate realm leader from Sha Kingdom, you can rob tonight. After all, the cultivators who can fight you are injured.”
Ye Chu’s words instantly cooled Pang Shao’s excitement. If he dared provoke an innate realm, would he need Ye Chu to say it? He would have long snatched those few attractive women!
