Chapter 510 Disobeying is Going Against Me
A group of people dressed in patrol uniforms immediately arrived at the scene.
The leader was a powerful cultivator, and many people lowered their heads after seeing his gaze, not daring to look him in the eye.
The Xiao family and the disciples of the Liuli Dynasty, who were arguing, all quieted down when they saw the patrol team.
Arriving before the two who had previously argued and clashed, the patrol leader looked down at them and said in a deep voice.
"What's going on? Why are you all making such a fuss here? And why is it causing such a disturbance?"
Didn't you understand when you entered the city? No disturbances are allowed within the city limits.
Upon hearing the patrol leader's words, the Xiao family disciple immediately retorted.
"He was clearly in the wrong. I was there first; he just interfered!"
To put it bluntly, he believes that this matter has nothing to do with him at all, and that the people in the Liuli Dynasty are the ones who are at fault.
Upon hearing this, the young man leading the Liuli Dynasty frowned deeply and rebuked them angrily.
"Can't you have any shame when you talk like that? Why do you say I came later than you did? I could say I came first!"
"Besides, the road is so wide, why should you be the only one walking on it? Can't other people walk on it too?"
"What did you say? You little punk! If you've got the guts, let's fight!"
"Come on!"
The atmosphere became tense, and the patrol leader's face grew even uglier.
They're arguing even though I'm right here. They're really not taking me seriously.
"Enough! This matter ends here. I don't want to hear you arguing anymore. This is not your home; you are guests."
Since you are guests, you should follow the host's rules. I'm sure you understand that.
If you don't understand, then come with me first and invite your patriarch over.
As he spoke, the patrol leader slightly raised his hand.
The patrol soldiers behind him immediately drew their weapons; these patrol soldiers were by no means weak.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the patrol team's soldiers are at least at the Great Power Realm.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, this time a lot of effort was put into organizing the martial arts competition.
"What? They're going to take us back?"
"No! We are from the Glazed Dynasty, how can you just arrest us like this?!"
The two who were just arrogant suddenly changed their expressions. They were relying on the power of the Liuli Dynasty and the Xiao family.
But the other party has no intention of giving them face, isn't that embarrassing them?
Upon hearing this, the commander's lips curled into a cold smile.
"The Glazed Dynasty? The Xiao family? So what if you come from these two powerful forces?"
Have you forgotten where you are right now?
This is the Ye family's territory, and no one is allowed to run wild here. Even people from other major forces are not allowed to cause trouble here!
Even if I arrest you, the person who brought you here will have no choice but to accept the punishment, after all... you were the ones who broke the rules first.
The commander's words were entirely correct; it was indeed these two who were making a scene and disrupting the order of the city.
He certainly has the right to arrest them, and even demand that they ransom them.
Their arrogance had vanished, and the two looked quite grim, but dared not say anything more.
If we continue arguing at this point, the outcome will likely be even more embarrassing.
"Take them back! Anyone who resists, kill them on the spot!"
The commander's face was cold and ruthless; if he said he'd get you, he definitely would!
Just then, a sound suddenly came.
"Wait!"
The sudden sound drew the attention of everyone present.
Many people are very curious as to who dared to speak up at this time.
Following the sound, everyone finally saw the person who had spoken.
When the commander and the patrol soldiers saw Ye Yun, their expressions changed drastically. They immediately put away their weapons and knelt on one knee respectfully.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
"Greetings, Young Master!"
The others around then realized that there was only one person whom the patrol leader and soldiers called Young Master, and that was Ye Yun, the young master of the Ye family.
"Is that Ye Yun? The young master of the Ye family!"
"As expected of the young master of the prestigious Ye family, his bearing is extraordinary. How could the young masters of ordinary forces possibly compare to him!"
"He had an aura of authority about him. I didn't even dare to look into his eyes, it was like... looking into an abyss."
"Is it really that exaggerated? You guys aren't just flattering me, are you?"
...
The expressions of the people from the Liuli Dynasty and the Xiao family also became respectful.
The person standing right in front of them is the young master of the Ye family, whose status is far more noble than theirs.
"Greetings, Young Master Ye Yun!" the two shouted in unison.
With a casual wave of his hand, Ye Yun turned his gaze to the commander.
"Let's leave it at that. They're new here and it's normal that they don't know the rules. One warning is enough."
"I'll let it slide this time, but if you dare to do it again, then I'll have to ask you to stay here for a few days."
Ye Yun's words were full of threat.
Once is one thing, but if it happens again, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Upon hearing this, the two nodded vigorously and hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, yes! I understand, it definitely won't happen again, and I'll definitely follow the city rules next time!"
"Me too! This problem will definitely not happen again!"
Having finally found a way out, the two naturally wanted to seize it.
You absolutely mustn't get sent there, otherwise if they bring them here to make offerings or the elders find out, you'll really be in deep trouble.
After all, such a shameful thing happening to them is an insult to their snobbish reputation, and they will surely be severely punished.
"Alright, there's nothing to do now, so go about your business. But I still want to remind everyone, please don't cause trouble in the factory."
Don't even think about disrupting the city's order or getting into fights, otherwise you'll be going against me, Ye Yun, and going against me is going against the Ye family.
If you're confident you can handle the Ye family on your own, then disregard what I said.
Before he finished speaking, Ye Yun left the scene with Yun Xi.
The commander and soldiers stood up and glanced at the members of the Xiao family and the Liuli Dynasty.
"Remember what the young master just said, and don't fall into my hands again. Next time, I won't be so polite. Let's go!"
After saying this, the commander led the patrol soldiers away from the scene.
They have other patrol duties to perform, so they can't stay here for long.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the surrounding onlookers began to disperse one after another.
////511///
Chapter 511 Are they... worthy? On the eve of the martial arts tournament
The disciples of the Liuli Dynasty and the Xiao family who remained in place looked quite ugly; what had just happened made them feel extremely ashamed.
They had never suffered such humiliation before. I even dared to question the patrol team and even threatened to take them back and lock them up.
If this gets out, they'll really lose face.
This is so embarrassing!
Even though it's shameful, they really don't dare to do anything.
Just as Ye Yun had said before, it's possible to make a move here, unless you're prepared to face the Ye family's wrath.
If you're not prepared for this, then forget it.
The disciples of the two factions, feeling extremely aggrieved, glared at each other, then angrily flung their sleeves and turned to leave.
The Ye family is someone they can't afford to offend, and they certainly wouldn't dare to.
Even the elders or deities who brought them here would never dare to act recklessly in this place.
They don't have the guts; they wouldn't dare to do that.
If we do that, it would be disrespectful to the Ye family and tantamount to declaring war on them.
Unless someone is truly tired of living, only a fool would make such a decision.
...
On the street.
Yunxi asked with curiosity in her eyes.
"Yun'er, you spoke so harshly just now. Aren't you worried about straining your relationship with other major powers?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled calmly.
"Of course I'm not worried. First of all, we need to understand that those two guys are just outstanding disciples of the two major forces, not the decision-makers of the forces behind them."
They're competitive on my turf, and if I scold them, they can only take it.
As for straining relations with the powerful forces behind them, do you think that the powerful forces behind them would turn against our family because of these two people?
Do they... deserve it?
Even without answering the question, Yunxi knew what the answer would be.
Of course not!
In the Immortal Realm, no major power is willing to antagonize the Ye family, not for any other reason than that the Ye family is very powerful.
It became so powerful that other forces could only look on in awe.
Nodding in deep agreement, Yunxi agreed.
"That makes sense. You are the young master of the Ye family. It should be their honor to reprimand you."
Ye Yun grabbed Yun Xi's hand and led her toward another street.
"Let's go take a look over here. I heard that a lot of strange and unusual things have come to the market in the west, many of which are not commonly seen."
Upon hearing that there were many strange and unusual things, Yunxi immediately became interested.
"Really? That's amazing! Take me there right away, I want to see what it is!"
...
On a tall building in the distance.
A figure watched as Ye Yun and Yun Xi gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Is he Ye Yun?"
Chu He glanced at Ye Yun for a moment, then immediately looked away.
He dared not stare for too long, in case the other party had a high level of cultivation or was very sensitive, they could easily discover him immediately.
His purpose in coming here was to participate in the martial arts competition, not to cause trouble.
This is the Ye family's territory. Coming here to cause trouble is truly courting death.
Upon seeing Ye Yun, Chu He was pondering a question.
Can I not see Chu Xian'er?
It would be wonderful to see Chu Xian'er.
Unfortunately, the woman beside Ye Yun was not Chu Xian'er, but another woman he did not recognize.
The thought that Chu Xian'er was going to marry Ye Yun made Chu He feel a pang of sadness.
Why did this happen to me?
Although Ye Yun is powerful and possesses excellent talent in chain repair, he is not one to be devoted to any one person.
In this respect, Chuhe has an absolute advantage.
He simply couldn't believe that Chu Xian'er would fall for such a philandering man.
It must have been forced!
That's right, even now, Chu He still holds a sliver of hope in his heart.
I hope Chu Xian'er can change her mind.
However, what he didn't know was that Chu Xian'er didn't dislike Ye Yun, and the two actually got along quite well.
If Chu He knew this, he would probably feel even more distressed.
He couldn't accept the fact that the person he liked was gradually developing feelings for Ye Yun.
"In this martial arts tournament, I must secure a top-three finish and find a way to obtain the sacred artifact!"
Ultimately, his strength was still not enough.
If he had enough power, he could do whatever he wanted, and no one could stop him.
Strength is the foundation of everything. With strength, you have everything; without strength, you are nothing.
...
Feng Qianming's side.
Upon entering Lingqu City, they immediately began exploring the city's layout and streets.
I will remember everything deeply.
When he goes on to cause trouble in the city, he will need to rely on the city's terrain.
After a long time, Feng Qianming could only barely remember most of the streets in Lingqu City; there were still some small places he hadn't visited.
There's nothing we can do about it. After all, Lingqu City is a large city, even if it's relatively remote. Its size is undeniable.
Big cities also have an advantage: although the streets and roads inside are intricate and complex, they are also very convenient for hiding.
If you want to hide, it's easy to take advantage of the pursuers' inattention and hide.
This is one of the more advantageous aspects for Feng Qianming.
Committing crimes in such a large city makes it relatively easy to be discovered.
He was also able to handle it more calmly.
...
Time quickly passed until the eve of the martial arts competition.
The opening ceremony of the martial arts tournament will be held in Lingqu City early tomorrow morning.
As of today, registration will be completely closed.
So far, the number of participants in this martial arts competition has reached nearly five thousand.
The number of participants in the competition was enormous, but compared to the number of people watching the martial arts and card games, it was nothing.
In order to host this martial arts competition, a venue large enough to accommodate 100,000 people was built in the very center of Lingqu City.
Of course, it wasn't a direct reconstruction, but rather an expansion on the existing foundation, which is how it became the venue for the martial arts competition.
It can accommodate a total of 100,000 people.
Tomorrow morning, you'll see this place packed with people.
With nearly 5,000 participants, this martial arts tournament will take at least five days to complete.
Tomorrow is a day that everyone is eagerly anticipating.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating the martial arts tournament tomorrow. The true strength of the younger generation in the Immortal Realm will soon be revealed.
Everyone who came to participate in this martial arts competition was eager to try their luck.
They can't wait!
///512////
Chapter 512 The Martial Arts Tournament Begins
The next day finally arrived.
Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, people began to arrive one after another and wait outside the central meeting place.
Arrive early if you can, and choose a seat near the front.
Of course, the seven major powers have already arranged their respective viewing positions, so there's no need to queue like this.
Even first-rate or second-rate forces have their own designated viewing spots.
Only second-rate or lower-level forces, independent cultivators, or those just joining in the fun need to queue up.
The queue outside the central venue was very quiet; no one made a fuss, and no one fought over the queue.
It's not that they don't want to cut in line, it's that they don't dare to.
With patrol teams watching closely, any disruptive behavior will be stopped immediately.
The orderly queue stretched for a long distance.
It's astonishing just to look at it, considering that there are entrances in several directions of the venue, and everyone is queuing up without exception.
"Why do we have to queue? Open the door already!"
"It's not even dawn yet, how could the gates be open? The martial arts tournament hasn't started yet."
"Why don't you go back to sleep for a while? Don't worry, I'll save your spots; there won't be any problems!"
"I don't believe you! You're taking up our spots, who do you think you are? Did you cut in line?"
...
The noise and chatter were incessant.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating entering the venue, but they had no idea what it was like inside, and their hearts were filled with curiosity.
After all, this is the largest event in the history of the Immortal Realm. Just looking at the venue with such a large scale makes it worth looking forward to.
After a long while, it finally got light.
Those who had been eagerly anticipating the event noticed the slowly opening doors of the venue, and their eyes lit up.
"The door's open! Quick, quick! Get up and let's go!"
"Huh? The door opened? I just fell asleep!"
"Do you even want to go in and watch the martial arts tournament?! Forget sleeping! Get up and let's go!"
"I wonder who will be the ultimate winner of this martial arts tournament. I'm so excited!"
"Who says otherwise? I'm also really looking forward to this martial arts tournament!"
...
As the venue doors opened, the long queue finally began to move slowly.
Some people tried to take advantage of the situation and cut in line, but they were stopped by the patrol team.
Those who tried to cut in line were stopped and had no choice but to slink to the back of the queue.
If you don't want to queue, then leave here.
In this place, rules must be followed.
Some people even threatened to cause trouble, and then they were not to blame for being impolite. They sent the person directly to prison and locked them up in a separate room.
Let's talk about it after a while. If you're still not satisfied by then, then we'll keep you locked up.
There have been one or two such incidents, but seeing that making a fuss would not end well, those who still wanted to cause trouble had no choice but to give up.
Being locked up for a period of time for this matter is not worth it at all.
They're just here to watch the fun, not to go to jail.
The venue, which could hold 100,000 people, was quickly filled with a large number of people, and all the seats were taken.
Those who arrive early naturally get to choose good seats, while those who arrive later can only choose seats at the back.
There are several areas in the venue that are currently unoccupied.
It's not that we don't want to be decent human beings, it's just that the people who should be in those positions haven't arrived yet.
The seven major powers, along with some first- and second-tier powers, will fill these vacancies.
There were many more guards standing in the venue, and each of them had a high level of cultivation.
Anyone who causes trouble here will be thrown out immediately.
With them regulating the discipline in the meeting room, no one dares to cause trouble.
"What a huge venue! I've never seen such a massive auditorium!"
"Of course, you should know that this is the Ye family, the most powerful force in the Immortal Realm, with immense wealth and influence."
"That makes sense! I'm afraid only the seven major powers could build such a spacious and grand venue."
"Building such a huge venue must have cost a fortune. The Ye family is really willing to spend money!"
...
Many people are amazed by the sheer size of the venue, wondering how much money it must have taken to build it.
This is beyond doubt.
The amount of spirit stones required to build such a large venue is enormous.
Even top-tier forces might not be able to shoulder this responsibility.
Even if they could take on the responsibility, it would definitely be physically and mentally damaging.
Just as everyone was marveling at how large and luxurious the venue was, more people entered from outside the main entrance.
The first to enter were the other six of the seven major powers, excluding the Ye family, followed by the first- or second-rate powers within their respective territories.
The grand scale of the event drew the attention of everyone in the venue.
When had they ever seen such a grand scene, with almost all seven major powers gathered here?
Of course, the person who leads these powerful forces is not necessarily the head of the family, but at the very least, he is an elder.
I don't usually have the honor of seeing so many adults, so I'm very excited to suddenly see so many people.
"Look! Look! That's the head of the Chu family! I never expected him to come in person!"
"My God! The head of the Chu family has come in person! This is outrageous! I thought it would be just an elder at most."
"You think you're some nobody! Look over there! That's the head of the Yun family, my god! Are they really going to give him that much face?"
"Really! That's outrageous! Luckily, none of the other factions' top leaders came."
...
Many people were quite surprised after witnessing such a spectacle.
It was quite unexpected that the heads of the Chu and Yun families, both leaders of the seven major powers, would come in person.
This indirectly shows that this martial arts competition is a highly anticipated event.
The person following Chu Xiao was none other than Chu Xian'er.
She is not yet a true member of the Ye family, so naturally she needs to follow her own family's lead when participating in such occasions.
Seeing the enormous venue, Ye Yun was astonished to find that he had organized such a grand martial arts competition.
A strange light flashed in Chu Xian'er's eyes.
This can be considered as leaving a strong mark on the history of the Immortal Realm.
All the factions have taken their seats, and those who will be entering next are naturally the participants in this martial arts competition.
At this moment, a figure slowly appeared on the arena in the very center of the venue.
He was naturally the organizer of this martial arts competition, Ye Yun.
As the organizer and host of this martial arts competition, Ye Yun naturally needed to go on stage and say a few words at this time.
///513///
Chapter 513 First Meeting with Chu He
"Welcome everyone to the first Immortal Realm Martial Arts Tournament. Of course, whether there will be a second one is another matter."
This could be the first and the last.
At the very beginning, Ye Yun made a joke.
This unique opening caused the audience to burst into laughter.
"This is hilarious! I thought it would be a very serious opening."
"Who says it isn't! I've never seen such a hilarious opening before."
"Having a first edition doesn't guarantee a second one. That makes sense; after all, who wouldn't feel the pinch when it comes to giving out so many prizes?"
"The atmosphere was originally very serious, but now it has suddenly become so relaxed. This young master Ye is really different from ordinary people."
...
The originally solemn and serious meeting room suddenly became more relaxed, making the leaders of the various forces feel slightly uncomfortable.
Chu Xiao smiled slightly.
"That kid from the Ye family is quite the talker; he's really got the atmosphere going in the whole room."
Sitting next to her, Chu Xian'er smiled when she heard Chu Xiao's praise.
At this moment, her eyes were fixed only on the person on the platform below.
"Father is right, Young Master Ye Yun is indeed a very interesting person."
Then, Ye Yun's voice came from below.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming to participate in the first martial arts competition that I am organizing."
I've put in a lot of effort to get this done, and I'm very happy that everyone has come.
I can assure you that this first martial arts competition will be absolutely spectacular, after all, all the participants are young talents from the Immortal Realm.
Let's wait and see what kind of strength they can demonstrate.
After a brief opening, Ye Yun finally announced that the first martial arts competition had officially begun.
"I hereby declare! The first Immortal Realm Martial Arts Tournament... officially begins!"
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"
A series of enthusiastic drumbeats rang out, deafeningly loud.
A large number of fireworks exploded in the sky, which looked very beautiful.
This feels completely different from previous events and similar competitions; it's just too lively.
Subsequently, all the contestants participating in this martial arts competition began to enter the venue one after another.
A group of young talents poured into the venue from all four directions.
These people were all top performers in their respective factions, and of course, there were also some outstanding independent cultivators mixed in among them.
The number of participants is extremely large; it's rare to see such a large-scale event with so many people participating at once.
Ye Yun's gaze swept among them, searching for a suitable target.
I want to see if there really is a chosen one.
Soon, Ye Yun found his first target, and this target was quite unexpected.
[Name]: Chuhe
Age: 25
[Identity]: Chosen One, Abandoned Son of the Chu Family
[Cultivation Level]: Peak of the Great Power Realm
[Physique]: Sword Immortal Body (Fully Activated)
[Techniques]: Taiyi Profound Skill, Taiyi Sword Technique, Nine Nether Sword Technique 2/9
[Magic Item]: Divine Artifact - Nine Nether Sword (2/9)
[Luck Value]:
[Attitude]: Hatred 100
Ye Yun was quite surprised when he saw Chu He.
I didn't expect this guy to actually show up on his own initiative. Isn't he afraid of being discovered by the Chu family?
You should know that this guy is now a wanted criminal of the Chu family. Anyone who can provide information about Chu He can receive a considerable reward.
And now, this guy is brazenly appearing at the martial arts competition.
There's only one possibility: this guy's current appearance isn't his true face, but rather a disguise.
I really didn't expect that Chu He would actually use disguise to participate in the martial arts competition.
Is the most dangerous place also the safest place?
Ye Yun could understand his thoughts.
But this only works if no one sees through his disguise; once someone does, all his efforts will be in vain.
But since this guy dared to participate in the martial arts competition, he must be very confident in his disguise skills.
With a slight smile, Ye Yun was worried that he couldn't find Chu He, but unexpectedly, he appeared.
This guy's attitude towards me has already reached a hatred level of 100. If it continues to develop, it will probably become a fight to the death.
But this is understandable. After all, he had taken Chu Xian'er away and caused Chu He to be expelled from the Chu family, forcing him to live a life of secrecy.
If you put all these things together, it would be truly strange if he didn't hate himself.
Ye Yun didn't care at all that the other person hated him; the hatred was intense and unbearable.
Sometimes, having a bad attitude towards yourself can actually help you gain more villain points, so why not?
After subtly observing Chu He, Ye Yun saw the large crowd of contestants.
There were too many people now, and Ye Yun was too lazy to continue the search.
If someone is truly destined for greatness, they will definitely make it to the later stages of the competition and are unlikely to be eliminated at the very beginning.
Of course, this excludes intentional acts.
Amidst the crowd, Ye Tingyu glared displeasedly at Ye Yun on the stage, who was basking in the spotlight.
He longed for such treatment, but he was not the young master of the Ye family; he could only be a supporting character.
Clenching her fists tightly, Ye Tingyu secretly vowed to herself that she must achieve good results in this martial arts competition.
Getting into the top three is enough to prove your excellence, and you are in no way inferior to Ye Yun.
He had long coveted the position of young master, and even though the chances of obtaining it were slim, he did not want to give up.
Even if there's only the slightest chance, Ye Tingyu wants to fight for it.
Even if he did say it in the end, he wouldn't have any regrets.
But what if we win?
If he wins, wouldn't he be the future head of the Ye family?
If you take a gamble, you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle; if you don't even try, you don't even deserve a bicycle.
Just as Ye Yun was secretly observing Chu He, Chu He was also secretly observing Ye Yun.
Upon seeing Ye Yun, he clenched his fist, a flash of hatred crossing his eyes.
To avoid being discovered, he concealed his hatred deeply and it was not obvious.
This man not only made her a wanted criminal by the Chu family, but also took away the person she loved most.
Such a despicable person was right in front of him, yet he had no way to lay a hand on him.
If he could, he really wanted to rush up there right now, beat the other guy up, and then stab him through the chest with a sharp sword.
Only in this way can I relieve the hatred in my heart!
Unfortunately, he could only dream about it.
He knew very well that there were many highly skilled experts in this venue, and he would be caught immediately if he made the slightest move.
////514///
Chapter 514 Expectant Gaze, the Second Prince of the Glazed Dynasty
It's hard to say what the punishment will be afterward.
Although he was furious, he did not lose his temper.
Just then, Chu He suddenly noticed Chu Xian'er sitting at the very front of the stands where the Chu family was located.
[Fairy?!]
He never expected that Chu Xian'er would also come to watch this martial arts competition.
I thought Chu Xian'er was like a caged bird in the Ye family, unable to go anywhere.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xian'er didn't seem to be subject to many restrictions and was quite free.
A hint of joy flashed in his eyes. Seeing that Chu Xian'er seemed to be alright, Chu He felt a surge of excitement.
He was completely unaware that Chu Xian'er had noticed his gaze.
Not only did Chu Xian'er notice, but Chu Xiao, who was sitting next to her and whose cultivation was unfathomable, also noticed it.
Turning his head slightly, Chu Xiao focused his gaze on Chu Xian'er and asked curiously.
"Xian'er, who is that ordinary-looking man? Do you know him?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xian'er hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly.
She had never met that ordinary man, but she always felt that he looked slightly familiar.
Especially when she saw the other person's gaze, Chu Xian'er suddenly thought of someone.
Chu River.
That's right, the person she was thinking of was none other than Chu He.
But Chu He is currently wanted by the Chu family, so how could he possibly participate in this martial arts competition openly and legitimately?
Shaking her head, Chu Xian'er didn't think too much about it and instead looked away.
Chu He had initially held a sliver of hope that Chu Xian'er might recognize him through his gaze.
But the truth slapped him hard in the face; the other person only felt that the gaze was familiar, but did not recognize him.
With the grand opening ceremony concluded, the preliminary rounds are about to begin.
With such a large number of people, it's impossible to compare them one by one.
The venue was divided into five arenas, and preliminary rounds were held simultaneously on all five arenas.
As for who their opponents will be, that can only be decided by drawing lots.
The first round of the preliminary rounds will be between players number one through ten, who will face off in pairs.
Quite coincidentally, Chu He was in the first round of the qualifiers.
His opponent was a man in his late twenties, who, like Chu He, was also a rogue cultivator.
This man, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, had also reached the peak of the Great Power Realm, which was why he dared to participate in the martial arts competition.
Thirty is the maximum age; you cannot exceed this age. There is a very professional age test tool when you register.
To participate in the competition, one must be no older than thirty.
Once the number of magical artifacts detected exceeds thirty years, they will be immediately eliminated.
In this battle, Chu He did not use his full strength, but rather some simple moves, and did not even use any sword techniques.
For Chu He, a martial arts prodigy, even if his opponent's cultivation level was similar to his own, their understanding of swordsmanship was vastly different.
Chuhe unsurprisingly won the first match with ease.
This surprised many people, since in most people's eyes, Chu He was just an ordinary guy.
It takes a lot of courage for someone like that to even participate in the competition. He didn't even think about his opponent, yet he managed to win the match.
"The winner is Lin Ke!"
That's right, at this time Chuhe was not called Chuhe, but Lin Ke. In short, it was a name that was changed by removing part of the characters from Chuhe.
However, the name sounds a bit like a woman's name. Just hearing the name might make people mistake it for a woman.
Chu He walked gracefully onto the arena. He was participating in this competition and had to conceal the Taiyi Sword Technique that he had learned from the Chu family.
Once the Taiyi Sword Technique is actually used, it will be easy to discover one's identity.
If his identity is exposed, then everything will be over.
He had clearly seen Chu Xiao in the audience just now.
Having been on the run for so long, and now caught again, I'm afraid I won't have another chance to escape.
We must be careful!
...
At this moment, outside the venue of the martial arts competition, a large group of people were setting up a betting pool somewhere.
"Place your bets! The first qualifying match has started, there aren't any outstanding players, and the odds are 1:1. Let's guess who will win!"
"I want to buy player number three!"
"I'm betting on player number seven!"
"Number 10! Number 10!"
...
Once the betting opened, everyone started placing their bets.
Some people just do it for fun, while others want to get rich through it.
The first round of qualifiers didn't have any outstanding players; they were all people who were somewhat famous elsewhere, but not well-known within the Ye family's territory.
Many people haven't placed any bets; they've all decided on the players they want to bet on, but they haven't played yet, so there's no rush.
...
The first round of qualifiers has ended, and the five winners will advance to the next round.
The second round of qualifying then began.
The second round of qualifiers has begun, and some popular players have emerged.
Ye Tingyu of the Ye family, and Nangong Xingyu, the second prince of the Liuli Dynasty.
Needless to say, Ye Tingyu is quite famous in the Ye family, even though he can't compare to Ye Yun.
He is an outstanding talent among the younger generation, and few people are unaware of him.
As for Nangong Xingyu, the second prince of the Liuli Dynasty, he is said to be a prince who excels in both military and political affairs.
He was twenty-seven years old and his cultivation level was also at the peak of the Great Power Realm.
It is said that he is breaking through to the Marquis Realm, but whether he will succeed or not, no one knows.
Ye Tingyu and Nangong Xingyu were not on the same arena, so they could not see the fierce battle between them.
Their targets all wore expressions of frustration.
I thought I could make it to the second round, but I didn't expect to encounter such a strong opponent right away. I had no chance at all!
The two easily defeated their opponents, with Nangong Xingyu being slightly faster, which made Ye Tingyu's expression a little unpleasant.
If I'm a little slower, doesn't that mean I'm inferior to the other person?
This led to Nangong Xingyu wanting to greet him in a friendly manner, but Ye Tingyu completely ignored him.
They treated the other person like they were invisible, not even giving them a second glance.
Seeing this, Nangong Xingyu was not angry, but just shrugged helplessly.
As the second prince of the Liuli Dynasty, he was well aware of Ye Tingyu's position.
To be precise, Ye Tingyu's current situation is not much different from his.
Ye Tingyu had a night cloud pressing down on him, and an older brother pressing down on him as well.

Chapter 515 Could this be cheating?
The Glazed Dynasty, despite being the weakest of the seven major powers in the Immortal Realm, is by no means weak.
Unlike the other six major powers, the Glazed Dynasty was promoted from the previous Glazed Dynasty.
Among the seven major powers, it is a rather unique imperial power, possessing a relatively vast territory.
With a large population, the Liuli Dynasty ranks among the top three in terms of population among the seven major powers.
The emperor of the Liuli Dynasty was Nangong Ji.
Although he was busy with court affairs all day long, he never stopped improving his cultivation.
Currently, his strength has broken through to the Venerable Lord realm, making him a hegemon.
Among the emperors of the Liuli Dynasty, Nangong Ji was one of the most outstanding, commanding a large army and maintaining a peaceful reign within the dynasty.
The Venerable Lord Realm experts in the Liuli Royal Family are not limited to the current emperor, Nangong Ji; there are also some old fellows cultivating their skills in the forbidden areas of the Liuli Dynasty.
Although the Glazed Dynasty ranks last among the seven major powers in the Immortal Realm, its overall strength is not necessarily the weakest.
However, the Liuli Dynasty had no intention of competing with the other six major powers and was content to be ranked seventh.
Whether Nangong Ji has any other ideas remains to be seen.
Perhaps they are accumulating strength, preparing to rush to the front in one fell swoop, or perhaps they really don't want to compete with other forces for rankings.
The other major powers do not underestimate the Liuli Dynasty, especially the Yun family and Xiao family, which are ranked lower, and they attach great importance to the existence of the Liuli Dynasty.
The competition was in full swing, and Yunxi and Yeyun easily defeated their opponents, as expected.
The reason it was easy is that their opponents didn't even last a single move against them.
Their opponents only spent a few seconds going from entering the field to leaving it.
During those few seconds, the referee was also in the middle saying something like "get ready."
Real combat, lasting no more than two seconds.
Their opponents were not weak, but they just happened to encounter two people whose strength had surpassed their age group, so naturally they had no chance.
The two defeated their opponents so easily, in such a short time, that the audience fell silent instantly.
Everyone agreed that Ye Yun and Yun Xi were indeed very strong, after all, they were both top performers in major powers.
Unexpectedly, the two seemed to be ridiculously strong.
"That's incredible! I didn't even see clearly before their opponent was already down!"
"Could it be cheating? Otherwise, how could it be so fast!"
"What are you saying? Does the Ye family need to cheat in such matters? Young Master Ye Yun is a chosen one of heaven, and he wouldn't stoop to such methods!"
"That makes sense! Their opponents were probably too weak, preventing them from showing their full strength."
"Hopefully their next opponent will be stronger, and the battle won't end so quickly."
...
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, all about the formidable strength possessed by Ye Yun and Yun Xi.
In the audience where the Chu family was located, Chu Xiao, as a Venerable Realm expert, naturally saw the moment when Ye Yun and Yun Xi made their move.
However, Ye Yun and Yun Xi did not use their full strength just now, and Chu Xiao could not tell what their exact cultivation level was.
However, he concluded that Ye Yun and Yun Xi's strength had already surpassed the Great Power Realm.
The method was too fast; even a Great Power Realm expert couldn't do that.
His expression turned slightly solemn. He hadn't expected that the young man from the Ye family and the woman from the Yun family would both possess such terrifying talents.
The two will surely become pillars of their respective families in the future, especially Ye Yun.
Indeed, his decision to send Xian'er to the Ye family ahead of time was a wise one.
"Xian'er, you must also work hard to repair the chain, otherwise you will become a burden to your husband in the future."
The husband he refers to here is naturally Ye Yun.
Suddenly struck by these words, Chu Xian'er instantly realized what they meant, and her pretty face turned bright red.
She never expected that her father would suddenly say these things to her.
She hadn't even officially married Ye Yun yet, so how did he become her husband?
However, Chu Xian'er did not reject him in her heart. She had met Ye Yun a few times and spent some time with him, and she felt that he was a good person.
At least the other person treated me well and didn't look down on me.
With her head almost buried in her chest, Chu Xian'er responded in a very soft voice.
"Yes, Father."
The sound was almost inaudible; if it weren't for Chu Xiao's profound cultivation, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear what his youngest daughter was saying.
...
On the Yun family's side.
As relatives of the Ye family by marriage, the Yun family's position is naturally adjacent to that of the Ye family.
This was also Yun Yao's instruction.
Yun Yao sat in a luxurious chair, with a thin gauze curtain in front of her.
Next to her was another chair, and the person sitting there was naturally Yunfeng.
"Little sister, we really owe a lot to Yun'er. If it weren't for Yun'er, I'm afraid Xi'er wouldn't have become so strong."
Yunfeng stroked his beard, a faint smile on his face.
He knew very well just how strong his daughter was. Among the younger generation, apart from Ye Yun and a few people around him, no one could catch up with her.
All of this is thanks to Ye Yun.
Even he, as her father, envied his daughter for being able to reach such a high level of cultivation at such a young age.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao, hidden behind the light veil, smiled gently.
"Brother, what are you saying? Xi'er is your daughter, and her relationship with Yun'er goes without saying."
Their relationship is already a done deal, so there's no need for the eldest brother to worry about that.
Mutual help is the right thing to do, and I believe Yun'er will definitely not let Xi'er down in the future.
After hearing his sister's words, Yunfeng's smile widened.
Even though Ye Yun and Yun Xi don't have any engagement or anything like that right now, as long as he and Yun Yao are around, it's almost a certainty.
"Sister, why didn't your husband come? Is he too busy?" Yunfeng suddenly asked, puzzled.
Shaking her head helplessly, Yun Yao explained.
"Yes, it seems there are some things the family has to take care of lately, so he doesn't have time to come. He originally said he might come on the day of the competition, but it looks like he won't be coming now."
Yunfeng originally wanted to have a good talk with Ye Changkong, so he asked if his daughter and Ye Yun should have some kind of marriage agreement.
After all, having an engagement clarifies the relationship between the two.
Otherwise, if his daughter and Ye Yun were together all the time, it might cause some unnecessary gossip.
Of course, he was also thinking of Yunxi; having an engagement was also a kind of constraint.
There's no need to worry that Ye Yun will let Yun Xi down in the future; at least it provides a guarantee.
He was a little disappointed; he had been eagerly anticipating Ye Changkong's arrival, but now it seemed he would have to wait until next time.
////516////
Chapter 516 The Show Begins, Second Prince, Be Careful What You Say
In the audience, a man dressed in black robes got up and left the venue after watching Ye Yun's match.
This person was none other than Feng Qianming.
He was over thirty years old, so it was naturally impossible for him to participate in the martial arts competition.
People come here to watch the martial arts competition just for the fun of it.
His real purpose was to cause trouble in this martial arts competition.
All eyes are now focused on the martial arts competition, and most of the patrol forces in Lingqu City are also concentrated around the venue at this time.
Now, it's time to start making things happen.
He wanted everyone to know that he could cause trouble even on the Ye family's territory.
He not only wanted to cause trouble, but also wanted to embarrass the Ye family.
In a city hosting such a grand event, some "minor accidents" actually occurred.
If word gets out, it probably won't look good for the Ye family.
However, what he wanted was to embarrass Ye Yun.
He had already spent some time memorizing all the interconnected streets in the city.
After leaving the venue, he immediately headed towards South Street.
Although it was rushed, the plan he made on the spot could already be implemented.
"Now...the show begins."
A cold smile appeared on Feng Qianming's lips; he could almost see the chaotic Ye family in disarray.
No one probably expected that someone would dare to cause trouble in the city where the Ye family was holding a martial arts tournament.
He wanted everyone to know that although the Ye family was very powerful, there were still areas they couldn't reach.
While the first round of qualifiers was in full swing, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred on South Street.
A series of booming sounds rang out, and violent explosions and flames instantly engulfed several locations.
These locations are not where ordinary residents live, but rather important warehouses within Lingqu City.
The items inside are what Lingqu City needs to hand over to the Ye family every month.
This has always been the case.
However, today such a situation suddenly occurred. The explosion instantly engulfed the warehouse, destroying a lot of the items inside.
There were many guards around the warehouse, who were also affected by the explosion.
Upon hearing the explosion, the patrol team immediately rushed to the scene.
Upon seeing the warehouse engulfed in flames, the patrol leader's face immediately turned grim.
"What happened?! Why did an explosion suddenly occur?!"
Upon hearing this roar, his men behind him fell silent, none of them knowing what was going on.
The warehouse was heavily guarded, so it shouldn't have been possible for anyone to get in or out, and there couldn't have been an unexpected explosion.
Most importantly, the explosions occurred simultaneously in several locations, not just one.
If it wasn't done by human intervention, that would be utter nonsense. It must have been done intentionally, but who it was remains unclear.
"Immediately seal off the scene, surround the entire area, and absolutely do not allow any suspicious persons to leave!"
"Investigate this thoroughly. If you can't find out, none of us will escape unscathed!"
"yes!!"
South Street was immediately blocked off.
But how could such a huge problem be completely contained?
Even though it was blocked, the news still spread.
Feng Qianming sneered as he saw the chaos on South Street.
He didn't go directly into South Street; he just came to check out the situation.
"This is... the first step of the plan. Let's take it slow."
He turned and left; he had achieved his goal and could not stay there any longer.
If he lingers too long, it would be bad if the other person noticed his attire.
...
The news of the explosion on South Street reached Ye Yun's ears immediately.
He was also quite surprised when he learned of the explosion on South Street.
No one would choose to cause trouble at this time or under these circumstances.
They deliberately caused trouble during the martial arts competition, and made such a big commotion that it would be difficult to cover it up even if they wanted to.
It seems... the other side came prepared.
As for their purpose, Ye Yun is currently unsure, but the fact that the other party is so blatantly causing trouble clearly indicates that they are targeting the Ye family.
Or... it's directed at myself.
But whether it's aimed at the Ye family or at themselves, it's clear that the other party has ill intentions.
"Interesting. Who could it be? I'm really curious."
With a deep gaze fixed on the direction of South Street, Ye Yun couldn't immediately guess who was behind this trouble.
However, it's certain that it wasn't done by the other six major powers; they wouldn't suddenly offend the Ye family without a reason.
There's no need for them to create trouble; they won't do things that are thankless and exhausting.
Ye Yun guessed that there was a very high probability that the other party was a lone wolf.
Only this kind of guy is hard to spot, and even if he is, he can still escape alone.
As for whether there are other people involved, that remains to be seen.
"Strengthen patrols and increase manpower at key facilities in the city. We must never let this happen again."
Otherwise... you'll all be sent to sweep the streets!
Ye Yun's voice turned cold.
Regardless of who the other party is, the fact that he dared to cause trouble during my martial arts competition clearly shows that he is not giving me any face.
Once Ye Yun catches this guy, he'll definitely teach him a lesson about why flowers are red.
"yes!"
The subordinate quickly responded and then immediately relayed the message back to South Street.
As a result of this incident, the security forces in Lingqu City increased several times over, and the number of patrol troops also increased, with a significant increase in patrol intensity.
They didn't want to actually have to sweep the streets because of this.
With their level of cultivation, it would be truly shameful for them to sweep the streets.
The preliminary rounds are proceeding smoothly, but various factions have gradually received news of the explosion on South Street.
Nangong Xingyu played with the folding fan in his hand, a strong look of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"Interesting. They actually dared to cause trouble on the Ye family's territory, and even during a martial arts competition."
This person is incredibly bold. Who could it be? I'm really curious.
If I were to meet him, I would definitely want to get to know him properly.
Upon hearing this, the old man beside him quickly offered a reminder.
"Second Prince, be careful what you say."
There are some things you can't say carelessly. If someone with ulterior motives overhears you and adds fuel to the fire, it could cause unnecessary trouble.
This would be very disadvantageous for the Liuli Dynasty, and might even cause conflict between the Liuli Dynasty and the Ye family.
With a slight shrug, Nangong Xingyu explained.
"Old Lan, I was just joking. Of course, I wouldn't want to get to know someone like that. I'm just curious who did this."
////517////
Chapter 517 is really going to kill me!
The old man whom Nangong Xingyu called Elder Lan was a royal retainer of the Liuli Dynasty.
He was not a member of the Nangong royal family, but merely a retainer of the Nangong royal family.
They are roughly equivalent to the elders in major sects or families, but they don't have much power; they just have a high status.
Such a grand occasion naturally requires a person of great strength to attend.
Otherwise, simply sending a younger person over could easily be misunderstood by the other party as a lack of respect.
Especially since such a grand martial arts competition was hosted by the Ye family, the Liuli Dynasty naturally had to give them face.
After receiving Nangong Xingyu's reply, Elder Lan nodded slightly and gave him repeated instructions.
"Second Prince, this place is not the same as the territory of the Liuli Dynasty. This place belongs to the Ye family. When it is necessary to restrain yourself, you should restrain yourself a little."
Within the territory of the Glazed Dynasty, you can do whatever you want, but here, be careful what you say and do.
Seeing the serious-looking Elder Lan, Nangong Xingyu nodded helplessly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Elder Lan, I understand, I understand. Please stop talking to me like this, I feel like my ears are getting calluses."
After saying that, he picked at his ear with a very helpless expression.
Faced with the teachings of these senior figures, the most important thing is that he cannot ignore them.
Noticing Nangong Xingyu's state, Elder Lan shook his head helplessly.
Whether they truly listened or not, no one can say for sure.
...
The section of the stands where the Ye and Yun families were located.
Yun Yao and Yun Feng had naturally already learned about the explosion on South Street.
A hint of doubt flashed across Yunfeng's face as he asked curiously.
"Sister, this is the Ye family's territory. How dare someone cause trouble in the city? Who do you think they are...?"
He had a feeling that this was not a coincidence, but something that someone had done on purpose.
To do something like this during a martial arts competition clearly indicates that it was premeditated, and it won't be easy to trace back to the source.
Facing a conspiracy that has been prepared in advance, it is not an easy task to start dealing with it immediately.
Yun Yao showed no sign of tension, maintaining a serene smile and appearing completely at ease.
"Big brother, just leave this matter to Yun'er to handle herself. It has little to do with us."
Don't worry, Yun'er will definitely find the other party. We adults don't need to worry about this.
"So what if someone's causing trouble? That's normal. If no one caused trouble, wouldn't it be a lot less fun?"
In Yun Yao's eyes, Ye Yun was very outstanding and could handle this kind of thing; there was no need for her, as an elder, to intervene.
If the other party really reaches the point where Yun Yao needs to take action personally, she won't need to do so; someone else will handle it.
Seeing Yun Yao's composure, Yun Feng stopped thinking about it.
He doesn't need to concern himself with the affairs of the Ye family. Right now, he's just a guest, and a guest only needs to be a good guest.
Without dwelling on it any longer, Yunfeng laughed heartily.
"Haha! My sister is right. Let's see how Yun'er handles this matter!"
Afterwards, they continued watching the martial arts competition.
...
On the other side of the audience seats, was the Chu family.
Chu Xiao was puzzled by the sudden explosion in the city.
Who on earth would be so bold as to make a move during a martial arts tournament held at night? Well done!
He naturally hoped that someone would pave the way for him, and ideally, find out the true extent of the Ye family's current strength.
This is very important to the Chu family, so he naturally wanted to find out the details beforehand.
"Xian'er, do you have any clues?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xian'er shook her head slightly.
She rarely left the Ye family home and hardly ever went anywhere.
She knew very little about the true situation of the Ye family, and she was completely clueless about the clues her father mentioned.
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, Chu Xiao wasn't angry about it.
Not that bad.
As the most mysterious clan, the Ye family is shrouded in a thick fog in the eyes of everyone.
The martial arts competition is still proceeding smoothly.
On the South Street side, the explosion damaged the items inside the warehouse, rendering many things unusable.
This problem occurred in Lingqu City, and the person who should be most troubled by it is naturally the city lord of Lingqu City.
After all, many of the discarded items in the warehouse needed to be offered to the Ye family.
At this point, with such a thing happening within the city limits of his jurisdiction, he truly bears a heavy responsibility.
He could be completely stripped of his job if he's not careful, and he doesn't want to end up like that.
When the city lord of Lingqu City arrived at the scene, his face turned ashen after confirming the extent of the disaster.
At least 50% of the items that were originally intended to be offered as tribute were lost.
The offerings will not be delayed because of your personal negligence.
That's just wishful thinking.
He still needs to find a way to make up for the 50% loss, otherwise he will be in big trouble.
With a long face, the city lord was filled with distress.
"Sigh! Lingqu City is already very remote, with no money to be made. Now this has happened. Isn't this going to kill me?"
Just when things were starting to look up, this happened. Sigh!
After decades of hard work, I'm back to square one. Why am I so unlucky?
Sighing and looking worried, the city lord quickly pondered how to perfectly solve this problem.
Ideally, the vacancies in the warehouse should be filled so that he can avoid punishment.
As for the repair of the damaged warehouse, the money can at least be paid from the public account, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
Because of the martial arts competition, he had been living in constant fear during this period.
After all, so many people have come, including many important figures. If things aren't handled properly, you could end up in trouble.
Despite all the precautions, this still happened.
"Immediately arrange for the city's defense troops and constables to cooperate with the people assigned by the young master to patrol more frequently! Everyone, be on your best!"
"You must find the culprit behind this! There will be a hefty reward for anyone who catches him!"
"Yes, Lord City Lord!"
The trusted aide quickly responded and went to give the instructions.
This was the first time the confidant had seen the city lord with such an unpleasant expression. At times like this, it was best not to provoke the city lord and just to obey orders.
On the surface, Lingqu City still appears prosperous, but underneath, undercurrents are already surging.
The number of patrol teams on the streets is increasing, and even military personnel can be seen moving around, causing many ordinary people to feel uneasy.
Although these people have some actions to speak of, they are mostly just ordinary people who have rarely seen such a large-scale event.
/////518////
Chapter 518 Stirring things up, a small matter
Many people were discussing the matter as they watched the army and patrols moving quickly through the streets.
"What's going on? Why are there suddenly so many more people patrolling? Has something serious happened?"
"I don't know either! Does anyone know what happened?"
"I think I heard that there was a violent explosion on South Street. The warehouse used to store tribute items was blown up, and a lot of things were lost."
"Yes, yes, yes! I just heard about it too, that's exactly what happened!"
"Who did this? How dare they be so arrogant! This is clearly a blatant provocation against Young Master Ye Yun, doing something like this at this crucial moment."
...
One person tells ten, ten tell a hundred.
Soon, everyone in the city knew what had happened on South Street.
It's precisely at this sensitive time that this kind of thing suddenly happened, clearly indicating that it's being targeted at someone.
This martial arts tournament was organized by Ye Yun with the support of the Ye family. To put it bluntly, it was either aimed at Ye Yun or at the Ye family.
Besides these two, they couldn't think of any other possibilities.
But how much courage would it take to do something like this, considering both of these?
They're really courting death, causing trouble on the Ye family's territory, and targeting the Ye family at that.
This situation is a complete fight to the death!
They couldn't imagine who the other person was, but they were certain that he didn't have good intentions.
This incident caused the atmosphere in the entire city to become quite delicate.
Ye Yun and the city lord both issued an order that such a situation must never happen again.
Those below could only hurry and try to catch the culprit as soon as possible to bring this matter to a close.
Meanwhile, Feng Qianming, the instigator of all this, was quietly gazing at the bustling city below from the window of the restaurant where he was staying.
A smile played on his lips; this was exactly the result he wanted.
The news has already spread, and everyone knows about it.
The first time could be considered an oversight, but if it happens again and again, the Ye family will definitely be embarrassed.
Within the Ye family's sphere of influence, how could he provoke them so much that they couldn't do anything about it? Wasn't that embarrassing?
This is the result he wanted.
He previously caused trouble for the Yun family, and now he's come to the Ye family's territory. In order to seek revenge, he will do everything he can to mess with the Ye family as well.
Of course, with his current strength, he has no way to directly confront Ye Yun or the Ye family.
Since a direct approach won't work, we can only try to retaliate from the side.
This... is just the first step!
He has other plans.
After the first step is implemented, patrols and security within the city will definitely become more stringent, so we will need to be a little more careful at that time.
He didn't want to expose himself prematurely and ruin his plans.
This is just the beginning; he hopes to remain hidden for longer and cause more trouble for the Ye family.
"Ye Yun, you killed my elder brother and my nephew! I will make you pay! This is just an appetizer; we'll... play slowly!"
...
Inside the venue of the martial arts competition.
Ye Tingyu naturally learned about what had happened on South Street.
When he saw Ye Yun sitting there calmly, completely unfazed, he immediately felt displeased.
Even though something like this happened in the city, Ye Yun was still here looking so confident, which made him very unhappy.
Hmph! I'll let you be smug for a while longer. Let's see how long you can keep it up!
This whole mess happened during the martial arts tournament. If we can't find the mastermind behind it, even you'll have a hard time explaining yourself.
It's possible that anything detrimental to Ye Yun is a great thing for Ye Tingyu.
He was hoping that Ye Yun would mishandle this matter.
By then, everyone will know that Ye Yun is not so perfect.
The position of young master belongs to the capable, and Ye Tingyu is also qualified to compete for it.
Noticing Ye Tingyu's gaze, Ye Yun looked at Ye Tingyu.
With a slight smile, Ye Yun's expression, which seemed to indicate that he had everything under control, made Ye Tingyu very unhappy.
Ye Tingyu turned her head away abruptly, not wanting to look at the guy she found disgusting.
Being with this guy would completely erase all my charisma.
Everyone compares themselves to him.
The final result was that Ye Yun was highlighted to the fullest, while he himself... was nothing.
For many years, he has had this feeling, and his goal has always been to eliminate the gap between the two.
Eliminating the gap between the two and making everyone think that he and Ye Yun are the same is no easy task.
He hasn't achieved this goal in all these years.
Ye Yun noticed that Ye Tingyu had looked away, and he could guess that this guy definitely wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
However, it's not easy to see yourself make a fool of yourself.
What happened earlier was just a minor incident and will soon be over.
Patrols and guards have been strengthened. If such an emergency still occurs, Ye Yun will really send those incompetent guys to sweep the streets.
The opponent couldn't possibly be very strong. Someone who is truly powerful wouldn't do something so childish.
Even the strongest wouldn't stoop to such trivial matters; the opponent's strength is probably only average in the Immortal Realm, neither particularly high nor low.
By relying on the people they send out, they can capture the target as soon as they are discovered, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Ye Yun was very curious about who it was that had to cause trouble during the martial arts competition he was hosting.
Once Ye Yun sees that guy, he'll definitely give him a good talking-to.
However, the martial arts competition held before that was obviously more important.
The martial arts tournament was organized by him in the name of the Ye family, and it was stopped just because of a small incident. This is a slap in the face to the Ye family, and also a slap in his own face.
Regardless of the circumstances, the martial arts tournament must continue.
Quietly watching the battle on the arena, the flashing swords, the endless stream of various spells and magic, it was a dazzling sight.
Those who participated in this martial arts competition were all people who were confident in their abilities and had considerable talent.
Yunxi sat beside Yeyun.
She had been by Ye Yun's side the whole time, so she was fully aware of what had happened in the city.
She asked cautiously.
"Yun'er, is the situation... serious?"
She was mainly worried that Ye Yun might be in a bad mood, so she naturally had to be a little more careful with her words.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun shook his head and chuckled.
"Sister Yunxi, don't worry about me. This is such a small thing, it's not enough to give me a headache."
Just focus on participating in the martial arts tournament; your opponents can't cause any real trouble.
