Capítulo 1176: Chapter 1055: A Blade Behind the Smile
“Hiss~”
The first disciple of the Tianyuan Sect twitched his mouth in anger, glared at Ye Fan with hatred, and left resentfully.
“Brother Ye, the man just now was Luo Xiaolin, the number one core disciple of the Tianyuan Sect, Helian Chang’s direct disciple, extrely powerful. If you encounter Luo Xiaolin of the Tianyuan Sect in the competition, you must be careful, never be careless!”
Tong Qianchen saw that Ye Fan had completely offended the Tianyuan Sect and quickly reminded him.
“As long as he hasn’t ford a Holy Embryo, he poses no threat. It’s he who should worry, not .”
Ye Fan was quite confident. This confidence cos from his strength. With his current power, not to ntion the peak of True Yuan Realm, even if it’s a strong person at the early-stage of Holy Embryo Realm, he is confident to contend.
“Better safe than sorry, Xiao Qian is right. As far as I know, this Luo Xiaolin’s talents and comprehension far surpass his peers. Xiao Fan, though you are a genius of the mont, don’t underestimate the heroes of the world. You should know, in this vast world, anyone can appear, especially in this genius competition. They wouldn’t co without so skills. Only by respecting each opponent can you eventually achieve victory.”
Elder Shen Xin earnestly taught. As soone who has been through it, he deeply understood that talents erge continuously in Tianyuan State, each generation showcasing extraordinary geniuses. Every opponent deserves respect.
“Elder Shen, I understand!” Ye Fan, although confident, wouldn’t arrogantly disregard other heroes. Elder Shen Xin’s teachings held truth.
Seeing Ye Fan being able to accept advice readily, Elder Shen Xin was particularly pleased and couldn’t bear to say anything further to him. After all, this accidental encounter with the Tianyuan Sect was managed strongly due to Ye Fan’s presence, preventing the Xuanwu Sect’s reputation from falling.
Because of this, Ye Fan was already a major contributor to the Xuanwu Sect, not to ntion his special identity as Wang Qingshan the Supre Elder’s savior and a disciple of Great Elder Wu Xinhai.
With things calm here, the waiter who had slipped out earlier returned quietly, carrying a large teapot, poured a cup for everyone, and then silently left again.
As the best restaurant in Tianyuan City, the culinary skills here are quite impressive, especially as the ingredients are all selected from the best at of various rare Mysterious Beast Bodies. For cultivators, they can replenish their energy and nourish their bodies, definitely great stuff that money can’t buy.
Good ingredients, coupled with great cooking skills, produce dishes with excellent color, aroma, and taste, even making soone like Ye Fan, who isn’t particular about food, have a hearty appetite, let alone Jin Zhanfei and others.
The one with the worst eating manners was actually not Jin Zhanfei, the rough person, but rather the Supre Elder Shen Xin. His hands were all out, making the table splash with soup, eating so much that oil dripped from his mouth and the breast of his robe soon got soaked with broth.
The most elegant eater was not Tong Qianchen, but Zhang Taiyi, who ate quietly without making a sound, more ladylike than a lady, forming a stark contrast with Shen Xin.
This al was quite enjoyable, with delicacies in front, everyone soon put aside the events from earlier, chopsticks flying.
Elder Shen Xin was eating and drinking at the sa ti, and as soon as the dishes ca, he shattered the clay seal of a liquor jar with a palm, filled a bowl first, then handed the jar to Shen Tu beside him.
Satisfied with food and drink, the table turned into a battlefield, a ss with soup spilling everywhere.
“Uh…”
Elder Shen Xin hiccupped, took out a toothpick, and while picking his teeth, addressed Ye Fan and the others ambiguously: “You guys go and have a stroll, I’ll stay here to settle the bill and pack these leftovers.”
“Pfft!”
Tong Qianchen burst into laughter and said, “Grandpa Xin, can we not be so petty? After all, our Xuanwu Sect is not a small sect, packing the leftovers, how disgraceful!”
“Little girl, what do you know, anyway, you can’t eat more, better let have it. We shouldn’t leave it for the restaurant, otherwise, this money spent feels unjustified.”
After saying this, Elder Shen Xin took a deep breath, and his round belly instantly deflated like a punctured ball, looking as if he hadn’t eaten well for three months, and continued to grapple vigorously with the leftovers on the table.
“——”
Ye Fan was speechless, where does Shen Xin have a bit of a strong person’s deanor? He’s simply an old playful child!
Leaving Elder Shen Xin to continue feasting, Ye Fan and Tong Qianchen, among others, left the private room and headed downstairs.
Just as they arrived at the second-floor corridor, suddenly a group of people approached head-on. Judging by their attire, they didn’t seem to belong to the sa force, but they were very familiar with each other, walking closely.
Huh?
When they saw Ye Fan and the others, Ye Fan’s side also noticed them. Tong Qianchen was visibly startled, leaned over to Ye Fan’s ear, and softly introduced the identities and nas of a few people walking towards them.
After Tong Qianchen’s introduction, Ye Fan realized that the ones walking towards them were from Qing Xuan Sect, one of the Three Major Sects of Tianyuan State, and the successors of the Ma Family and Liu Family from the Five Great Families.
In the middle, a smart-looking young man was precisely the number one core disciple of the Qing Xuan Sect, nad Qingxuan. On either side of him were the direct lineage successors Ma Yuanhang from the Ma Family and Liu Qingyun from the Liu Family.
To be nad Qingxuan shows the Qing Xuan Sect’s emphasis on this disciple, even intending to groom him as the next Sect Leader of Qing Xuan Sect, or else it would be impossible to let him bear this na.
At this mont, Qingxuan was happily chatting with Ma Yuanhang and Liu Qingyun, occasionally sharing knowing laughs, indicating that he was very well-received by the two.
It’s important to note that although the Five Great Families of Tianyuan State have a long legacy, there is still a significant gap compared to the Three Great Sects. Not even the strongest among the Five Great Families, the Chu Family, can compare, despite hiding their strength for years and recently producing a peerless genius.
As the number one core disciple and the most outstanding figure of Qingxuan Sect, how esteed is Qingxuan’s status? Although the heirs of the Five Great Families have impressive identities, they do not have the qualification to address him as a brother.
Yet, Qingxuan appeared to have no airs about him, engaging in a very congenial conversation with the two. To an outsider, it might seem as if they were old friends reuniting!
The hallway of the tavern wasn’t spacious, and if two parties didn’t avoid each other, they would certainly collide.
At this mont, Qingxuan’s eyes lit up. He whispered sothing to Ma Yuanhang and Liu Qingyun, then hurried up with a warm smile and said, “Aren’t these the esteed mbers of Xuanwu Sect? Pleasure to et you all, my na is Qingxuan.”
Not hitting a smiling face with a fist, Qingxuan played this move quite wonderfully. Even if Ye Fan saw through his smooth and sophisticated manner, it wouldn’t be appropriate to say anything since there was no malice.
“Brother Taiyi, long ti no see. Your cultivation is becoming increasingly profound, truly delightful and worthy of congratulations!”
Qingxuan extended his right hand to Zhang Taiyi, who forced a barely passable smile, colder than ice, and shook hands, saying, “Congratulations to you as well; you are also about to take that crucial step.”
“Just a fluke, just a fluke.”
Qingxuan smiled as he withdrew his hand and extended it towards Ye Fan, saying, “This must be the renowned Brother Ye Fan, who has recently been the talk of the town? Even Brother Taiyi is not your rival. If we et in the grand competition, please, Brother Ye Fan, go easy on . I wouldn’t want to be incapacitated for the rest of my life.”
Ye Fan’s heart tightened, realizing that his actions at Xuanwu Sect couldn’t be kept secret, and Qingxuan Sect had long been inford.
Since Qingxuan Sect knew, Tianyuan Sect would likely know as well and would definitely have plans regarding him.
“Oh, Qingxuan brother, you’re too kind. The only reason I got first place was that Brother Chu Feng let have it. Otherwise, how could I possibly compare to Brother Chu?”
Ye Fan smiled in response. Although Qingxuan appeared from beginning to end to be approachable and friendly, he left a poor impression on Ye Fan, much like those smiling tigers on Earth, hiding a knife behind their smile.
Swoosh!
As Ye Fan spoke, in an instant, almost everyone turned their attention to him.
“How did he manage to beco the first core disciple of Xuanwu Sect?”
When they realized that Ye Fan was only at the True Essence Realm cultivation level, almost everyone was filled with this question.
Many of them weren’t from the sect, but they understood the sect’s rules very well. They knew that even among core disciples, the treatnt differed at each level, and no one would easily surrender their position as first.
“By the way, I heard there’s a grand auction happening today at the Treasure Pavilion. It’s possible so unexpected treasures might appear. Why don’t we go check it out together?”
Qingxuan stared at Ye Fan for a mont and then, with a snap of his fingers, casually shifted the topic.
Auction?
Upon hearing that an auction was being held today, Ye Fan was intrigued. He had been in the Xuan Realm for nearly a year now, but he had yet to see what auctions were like here.
“Brother Ye, should we go take a look?”
Tong Qianchen was evidently interested as well. Even she seldom got to see such a grand occasion as an auction, but she still sought Ye Fan’s opinion, unintentionally raising Ye Fan’s status.
At the sa ti, Zhang Taiyi, Jin Zhanfei, and Shen Tu were also sowhat tempted. Such a large-scale auction was a rare event, even if they didn’t make a purchase; it was a chance to broaden their horizons and gain knowledge.
“Alright!”
Realizing this, Ye Fan nodded in agreent, deciding to join the others in attending the auction.
