“Are you going to challenge the Child of Destiny?”
In front of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Old Fu looked at Ye Guan with complete disbelief!
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes!”
Old Fu stared at Ye Guan. “Why?”
Ye Guan said calmly, “Didn’t he say it’s either him or me? Since that’s the case, then let’s have a one-on-one duel!”
Old Fu fell silent!
You are really bold!
Ye Guan suddenly took out a pen and paper, then began to write: “On that day in battle, Your Excellency disregarded martial virtue and summoned the Heavenly Dao for help. Yet it was useless. The Heavenly Dao was too weak and was destroyed with a single sword. Truly boring. Now, Your Excellency claims it is either you or me. Since that is so, why not fight? You choose the location, you choose the time, you choose the rules. I am invincible. Do as you please!”
After finishing, Ye Guan made a grand flourish and signed his name!
Looking at Ye Guan’s letter of challenge, Old Fu fell silent.
Arrogant!
That was his first impression!
But on second thought, was the young man truly being arrogant?
The Child of Destiny and Ye Guan had already fought once. In that battle, even the Heavenly Dao had joined in!
Yet the Child of Destiny still lost!
This was not arrogance. This was confidence!
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly said, “Old Fu, can this letter be made known to the entire universe?”
Old Fu looked at Ye Guan. “You want to make this a big deal?”
Ye Guan nodded.
After a moment of silence, Old Fu said, “It can be done! It’s very simple! Just publish it in Guanxuan News!”
Ye Guan was puzzled. “Guanxuan News?”
Old Fu smiled. “It was founded back then by our Pavilion Master Qin. Every day it updates the latest events happening in the world!”
With that, he took out a sheet of paper and handed it to Ye Guan. When Ye Guan looked at it, he was stunned. The events that happened to him at Qingzhou Academy had already been recorded on the paper.
However, there were some discrepancies with the facts, and certain parts were exaggerated or even fabricated.
Old Fu said, “If you want the entire universe to know, the only way is to publish it in Guanxuan News!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Then publish it!”
Old Fu looked at Ye Guan. “It costs money!”
Ye Guan was stunned.
Old Fu gave a wry smile. “To publish in Guanxuan News, you have to pay. However, for your matter, there is no need to pay. Once this letter of challenge is published, it will definitely sell like crazy! But you must think carefully. Once it is published, you and the Child of Destiny will truly be locked in a fight to the death!”
Ye Guan nodded. “I have thought it through!”
Old Fu nodded. “Good! I will go handle it for you right now!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Thank you!”
Old Fu shook his head with a smile. “No need to be polite!”
With that, he turned and left!
Ye Guan also turned and left!
He was going to visit the Ye Clan!
On the way, Small Tower suddenly said, “Actually, you could have lain low for a while first. Doing this now is really a bit impulsive!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “Tower Grandpa is right to lecture me! I will be more cautious in the future!”
Small Tower wanted to say more, but the mysterious voice suddenly spoke. “Fool, do you really think he is being impulsive?”
Small Tower was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
The mysterious voice sighed softly. “He publicly challenges the Child of Destiny. It looks impulsive on the surface, but in reality it is deep strategy! Sigh, this little fellow’s intelligence truly perfectly inherited from his mother and his father!”
Small Tower was somewhat confused. “What do you mean?”
The mysterious voice said, “Right now the two biggest factions in the academy clearly stand with the Child of Destiny. He is on the weaker side. By coming out and openly challenging the Child of Destiny, do you think those noble family factions, sect factions, and the Child of Destiny himself would dare to bully him with superior numbers?”
Small Tower fell silent.
The mysterious voice continued. “If they bully Ye Guan with their greater power now, the entire universe will curse their ancestors for eighteen generations! Moreover, the Child of Destiny’s reputation will become infamous. Now, they have only one choice: accept Ye Guan’s challenge, and moreover, they cannot allow anyone to kill Ye Guan. If Ye Guan dies suddenly now, everyone will believe it was the work of the main academy of Guanxuan Academy!”
With that, it sighed softly. “Now, he has bought himself time. Before his decisive battle with the Child of Destiny, the Child of Destiny and the main academy of Guanxuan Academy must pray that he does not die. Otherwise, they will be forced to bear the blame!”
Small Tower said seriously, “So that was his intention. Then why didn’t he tell me clearly?”
The mysterious voice thought for a moment, then said, “He probably didn’t expect you to be this slow!”
Small Tower: “???”
Soon, Ye Guan arrived at the Ye Clan.
Many years ago, the Ye Clan’s situation was actually not very good, because back then they forced the Human Sword Lord to leave the Ye Clan carrying his younger sister on his back.
However, after Ye Yu grew up, the Ye Clan gradually began to recover its vitality.
Today’s Ye Clan, although not as powerful as the former An family or the Undying Imperial Clan, was still largely untouchable thanks to Ye Yu.
Ye Guan looked at the Ye Clan residence in front of him and said softly, “Tower Grandpa, is this the Ye Clan where the Human Sword Lord once stayed?”
Small Tower said, “Yes!”
Ye Guan asked, “I heard that back then the Human Sword Lord suffered greatly. Is that true?”
Small Tower said, “Do you want to go in and take a look?”
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then said, “Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”
At that moment, the main gate of the Ye residence in the distance suddenly opened. A girl of about sixteen or seventeen walked out. She wore a cyan long skirt, had clear features, and looked full of vitality. In her hand she held a long sword!
Then the girl suddenly noticed Ye Guan. When she saw him, she was stunned. The next moment, she ran straight to Ye Guan and said excitedly, “Holy crap… Ye Guan! You are Ye Guan!”
Ye Guan: “…”
The girl became even more excited. “Ye… Young Master Ye, how are you here?”
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then said, “I came to take a look!”
The girl quickly said, “Come, come inside! Let’s go, let’s go!”
With that, she pulled Ye Guan and headed straight into the Ye residence!
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. This girl was really enthusiastic!
After entering the Ye residence, the girl smiled. “Young Master Ye, my name is Ye Zhuxin. You can just call me Zhuxin!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Miss Zhuxin, do you know me?”
Ye Zhuxin smiled. “Who doesn’t know you now, Young Master Ye? Young Master Ye, let me tell you, you are my idol. I admire you so much!”
With that, she suddenly raised the sword in her hand and said seriously, “I didn’t like swords originally, but after seeing you, I fell in love with them! You are really too handsome! How can you be this handsome?”
Small Tower said seriously, “Why are girls these days so bold? It wasn’t like this in our era. Everyone was shy and reserved.”
The mysterious voice said, “Why are you paying attention to this? You are just a tower!”
Small Tower: “…”
Ye Guan smiled, then said, “Miss Zhuxin, do you want to learn the sword?”
Ye Zhuxin nodded. “Yes! Can you teach me?”
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then said, “I don’t really know how to teach people!”
Ye Zhuxin blinked. “Young Master Ye, may I ask boldly… do you have a girl you like?”
Huh?
Ye Guan was stunned.
Ye Zhuxin said seriously, “I don’t mean anything else. I am just asking purely out of curiosity!”
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. “I have a fiancée!”
“Fiancée!”
Ye Zhuxin sighed softly. “You go ahead and look around by yourself. I won’t accompany a married man on a stroll!”
With that, she turned and left.
At the spot, Ye Guan was completely dumbfounded!
What the hell?
At the spot, Ye Guan was truly stunned. Because that Ye Zhuxin really walked away!
This was too realistic, wasn’t it?
Small Tower suddenly said, “Go to the right!”
Ye Guan nodded and walked to the right. Since Ye Zhuxin had brought him in, no one in the Ye residence stopped him.
Soon, Ye Guan arrived in front of a courtyard.
This courtyard was very quiet and very clean. There was no one around!
Ye Guan said softly, “Tower Grandpa, is this the place where the Human Sword Lord once lived?”
Small Tower said, “Yes!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. He walked inside. Although there was no one, the room was very clean.
Ye Guan looked around. Finally, on the table, there were two small wooden figures!
Ye Guan was a little curious. He walked to the small wooden figures. The one on the right looked exactly like the Human Sword Lord, while the one on the left was a woman.
Ye Guan looked at the female wooden figure and said softly, “Tower Grandpa, is this the younger sister of the Human Sword Lord?”
Small Tower said, “Yes!”
Ye Guan was about to reach out and take the wooden figure when a voice suddenly came from behind him. “Hey, little fellow, don’t touch my wooden figures!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan turned around. Not far away stood an illusory woman!
And this illusory woman looked exactly like the female wooden figure!
Ye Guan was stunned!
When the woman saw Ye Guan, she was also stunned.
Ye Guan quickly bowed respectfully. “Senior, this junior meant no offence!”
The woman stared at Ye Guan. “What is your name?”
Ye Guan said, “Ye Guan!”
Ye Guan!
Upon hearing Ye Guan’s name, the woman was slightly stunned. She walked up to Ye Guan, looked him over carefully, then said softly, “Ye Guan…”
Ye Guan looked at the woman, hesitated for a moment, then said, “Senior, do you know me?”
The woman smiled. “I know you!”
Ye Guan was full of confusion!
She knew him?
That should not be the case!
At that moment, the woman smiled. “Are you here alone?”
Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “There is also Tower Grandpa!”
The woman smiled. “I know. I already sensed it!”
Ye Guan was a little curious. “Senior, do you know Tower Grandpa?”
The woman’s lips curved slightly, a bit playful. “I know him! And quite well, actually!”
Small Tower: “…”
Ye Guan quickly asked, “Then Senior, do you also know my father?”
Hearing this, Small Tower instantly became nervous!
If he had known this place would have this old auntie, he would not have brought this fellow here!
The woman smiled. “Of course I know him. And quite well too!”
Ye Guan asked again, “Senior, can you tell me about it? Tower Grandpa only knows how to fool me every day and never tells me the truth!”
Small Tower: “…”
The woman smiled, then said, “Wait until you become even stronger later. Then you will know!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan immediately felt a little disappointed.
The woman walked to the side. She looked at the two small wooden figures. As if thinking of something, she fell into deep thought.
Ye Guan asked, “Senior, didn’t the Human Sword Lord stay with you?”
The woman gently stroked the wooden figure of the Human Sword Lord. There was a trace of loneliness as she said softly, “Brother… he is very busy! It has been a very, very long time since I last saw him!”
