Eternal Dragon Emperor Chapter 206 207: The Jade Pendant's Secret?

"Patriarch Ouyang, I wonder if you recognize this Jade Pendant?" Xiao Wenjie's tone had changed considerably, as if he were suddenly filled with courage.

Ouyang Linfeng glanced at the Jade Pendant in Xiao Wenjie's hand and said, "I recognize it. Of course, I recognize it! I can't believe this brat has his pendant. He's lucky to be alive this ti. Even if I don't kill him, soone else will!"

Ye Tian felt completely lost, as if in a fog. 'I never thought this Jade Pendant could have such a huge impact. The Innkeeper's surna is Long... Could he be the Lord Dragon they're talking about?'

However, Ye Tian knew this wasn't the ti to ask about such things. He could only wait for a chance to ask Xiao Wenjie. 'If I can really get out of this alive today, this Jade Pendant will deserve all the credit.'

"Brother-in-law, are we just going to let this kid go?" Murong Jiang imdiately asked Ouyang Linfeng, sensing that things had taken a wrong turn.

Ouyang Linfeng shot him a glare and said, "What, you still want to kill him? Do you have any idea who he is? Do you know what that Jade Pendant represents? If you want to see the Murong Family annihilated, go ahead and try. My Ouyang Family, at least, doesn't have the guts."

Murong Jiang and Sima Mingqing were both stunned. 'The Ouyang Family? They're one of the four great families of the Imperial City! How could he talk about the danger of annihilation? Who exactly is the owner of this Jade Pendant? Could it be the current Emperor? That can't be, it's too much of an exaggeration!'

'Besides, how could a country bumpkin like Ye Tian possibly know the Emperor? Even Sima Mingqing and I have never t him, let alone soone like that.'

Sima Mingqing's expression was also incredibly grim. He had thought that with Ouyang Linfeng's arrival, everything would fall into place and Ye Tian would be as good as dead. But this suddenly-appearing Jade Pendant was too uncanny; it had actually made Ouyang Linfeng afraid.

"Lin Feng, please tell us, what is the secret of this Jade Pendant? Our enemy is right in front of us. If we have to let him go, both Murong Jiang and I will be distraught. I trust you can understand the pain of losing a beloved son!" Sima Mingqing said.

At this mont, Elder Long and the two middle-aged n who had co with him were also completely baffled. They only had a vague understanding of the Jade Pendant, but from the expressions and attitudes of Xiao Wenjie and Ouyang Linfeng, they could tell it was no simple object.

Only now were the three of them truly taking Ye Tian seriously. Their previous actions had been rely due to his outstanding talent. If they had to choose between offending Ouyang Linfeng and protecting Ye Tian, they certainly would not have been willing to offend Ouyang Linfeng.

But things were different now. If it was sothing that even Ouyang Linfeng feared, then they naturally no longer had anything to fear. They now understood what they needed to do.

Xiao Yaoyao had also thought that Ye Tian's chances were slim to none this ti. Ouyang Linfeng was the most powerful person here; even her father and Elder Jin combined would not necessarily be his match, not to ntion he had brought other experts with him.

But she never would have dread that things would take such a turn. The only explanation was that Ye Tian had an incredibly formidable identity and a massive secret. Perhaps he was a mber of the Royal Family.

Everyone was more or less speculating about the origin of Ye Tian's Jade Pendant and his true identity. A disciple from an ordinary family could not possibly possess such talent, let alone obtain such a pendant.

Moreover, he had said the Jade Pendant was a gift from an old friend, who told him to give it to Xiao Wenjie if he encountered danger. This ant the giver already knew Ye Tian might face peril and had prepared for it in advance. This was precisely why Ouyang Linfeng was so apprehensive and no longer dared to think of killing Ye Tian.

Ouyang Linfeng glanced at Sima Mingqing and said, "I cannot afford to offend the owner of this Jade Pendant. None of the four great families of the Imperial City can afford to offend him. Even Lord Dragon cannot afford to offend him. Do you understand what I'm saying? So, if you want to kill him, you'll have to find another way.

"At the very least, you cannot touch him here at Linyuan Academy. If you dare to, I will have no choice but to act against you. Seeing the pendant is like seeing the man himself; it is tantamount to his direct command. So you'd better think carefully, lest you accuse , Ouyang Linfeng, of being heartless and disloyal when I turn against you."

When these words reached the ears of Sima Mingqing and Murong Jiang, they both fell into despair. If even Ouyang Linfeng would turn against them, what hope was there of killing their target? They'd be more likely to get their own families annihilated.

"We understand. If we can't act openly, we can act in the shadows! Thank you for coming to help this ti, Brother-in-law. We can only bla it on that brat's good luck!" Murong Jiang said.

Ouyang Linfeng nodded. This dramatic turn of events had also been beyond his expectations. "You should all head back soon. If you stay here any longer, you'll put in a difficult position. Rember, Xiao Wenjie has the Jade Pendant. If he decides to make things difficult for ... well, you understand!"

The three of them had used their Spiritual Power to create a soundproof barrier several ters around them as they spoke, so Ye Tian and the others couldn't hear. However, seeing the miserable looks on Murong Jiang's and Sima Mingqing's faces, they could guess what was happening.

"Patriarch Ouyang, now that Ye Tian has the Jade Pendant, what are your intentions? And how do you plan to deal with the people from the Murong and Sima Families? This is Linyuan Academy. Do not test my limits. You should know the consequences better than I do," Xiao Wenjie said.

Ouyang Linfeng glared at Xiao Wenjie and said, "I understand. I'll have them take their n and leave at once. I guarantee they will not show any more disrespect toward Linyuan Academy, and I will return to the Imperial City imdiately! Please consider this a misunderstanding, and I hope Young Master Ye Tian won't hold it against ."

Ouyang Linfeng's complete 180-degree turn in attitude shocked the instructors. In an instant, Ye Tian's status had soared.

Lin Ling, in particular, felt the most uneasy. 'Now that this guy's status has risen, I wonder if he'll find a way to make trouble for .' She felt a wave of anxiety as she recalled his mischievous gaze and the things he had said.

"Then I thank you, Patriarch Ouyang! Since it was a misunderstanding, there's no need to say any more. We'll be returning to the academy! As for Ye Tian killing the young masters of the Sima and Murong Families, our Linyuan Academy will still offer so compensation!" Xiao Wenjie said.

Sima Mingqing and Murong Jiang desperately wanted to rage at Xiao Wenjie. 'Just so compensation for two dead sons? Do they really think our two families are beggars?'

But they held back after seeing the look in Ouyang Linfeng's eyes. "Let's go!" "We're leaving too!" Sima Mingqing and Murong Jiang said helplessly to their family elites.

Watching the mbers of the two great families depart, Ye Tian was filled with emotion. What he was most curious about was the owner of the Jade Pendant—the Innkeeper. Who was he, really? 'Could he actually be the Lord Dragon they ntioned?'
