The Outer Courtyard Elder, filled with rage, stord into the clan's Inner Courtyard and found the Inner Courtyard Elder practicing boxing in the martial arts arena.
"Elder Rihua, what brings you to my place today?" The Inner Courtyard Elder retracted his fist and smiled at Dongfang Rihua.
With a dark expression, Dongfang Rihua said in a deep voice, "Isn't it because I'm in trouble? Damn it, a young punk actually ca to stir up trouble with our Dongfang Family, and he's quite hard to deal with. I'm here asking for your help.
By the way, he just said that the Inner Courtyard Elder of our Dongfang Family is trash and can't withstand a single punch from him, and you need to co out and die!"
"Oh ho!"
The Inner Courtyard Elder's interest was imdiately piqued. He could guess that clearly, Dongfang Rihua had suffered under this person's hand, hence the exaggeration of those words.
However, he didn't care much about it and wasn't angry.
Although he and Dongfang Rihua were in charge of the Inner and Outer Courtyards, their relationship wasn't particularly amicable. Now seeing Dongfang Rihua getting beaten, he found it rather amusing.
Taking action against the troublemaker, the Inner Courtyard Elder certainly wouldn't refuse, thinking he could use this opportunity to showcase his unmatched strength.
"Let's go, I'll see for myself the strength of the person challenging our Dongfang Family!"
The Inner Courtyard Elder flicked his sleeves and briskly headed towards the Outer Courtyard.
He was full of confidence in his own strength.
After all, he was at the Peak of the King!
Moreover, he had been at the Peak of the King for several years, even touching the threshold of the Half-Step Divinity Transformation level. With such formidable power, even against the twelve experts of the Dongfang Pavilion, he could hold his ground for quite so ti without losing badly!
In a one-on-one fight, the Inner Courtyard Elder was confident that anyone who wasn't at the pinnacle of Half-Step Divinity Transformation couldn't possibly match his strength!
Soon, the Inner Courtyard Elder reached the Outer Courtyard and found Ye Qiu.
Dongfang Rihua naturally followed along.
Seeing the two return, Dongfang Ye, who had been keeping his distance from Ye Qiu, rolled his eyes in anger, almost spitting blood.
Second Uncle, oh Second Uncle!
You usually seem so smart, how can you turn into such a fool today? Ye Qiu easily broke your fingers with a single slap, and instead of asking the Clan Leader for help, you brought the Inner Courtyard Elder here?
Aren't you just here to embarrass yourself?
Dongfang Ye thought about it and realized that Ye Qiu's visit wasn't really to cause trouble for the Dongfang Family, otherwise, he would have stord in already, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
This was good, at least the Dongfang Family wouldn't face the risk of annihilation…
Dongfang Ye also made up his mind that once this matter was resolved, he would stay put in the clan for hermitage and never go out bragging about anymore.
This world is really too terrifying; just a few days after going out, he encountered a freak like Ye Qiu.
The mountain area really is much safer…
Of course, Dongfang Ye didn't have the mind to think too much at this mont. Seeing the Inner Courtyard Elder about to confront Ye Qiu, he imdiately rushed over to grab the Inner Courtyard Elder's arm, anxiously saying, "Elder, please calm down. This person isn't here to provoke us, just to see the Clan Leader. Besides, I think you're no match for Ye Qiu."
Dongfang Ye wasn't really that kind-hearted; after all, he sided with Dongfang Rihua, and Dongfang Rihua had a poor relationship with the Inner Courtyard Elder. If it was any other ti, there's no way he would issue such a warning.
But now, he had only one thought.
Absolutely can't allow the relationship between the Dongfang Family and Ye Qiu to escalate into a point of no return!
However, Dongfang Ye's well-aning advice not only had no effect but also further infuriated the Inner Courtyard Elder.
Slap!
The Inner Courtyard Elder raised his hand and slapped Dongfang Ye flying, angrily shouting, "Get out of here, you coward, just like your uncle! Who gets so frightened after a beating? Do you think I'm as weak as you?"
"You!!!"
Seeing his nephew getting hit, Dongfang Rihua was also enraged, but considering the Inner Courtyard Elder would soon get a harsh lesson from Ye Qiu, he suppressed his anger and prepared to enjoy the show.
Upon confronting the Inner Courtyard, Dongfang Rihua had figured it out.
Previously, he thought Ye Qiu was at the Peak of the King. After thinking it over, he realized that wasn't the case at all because back then, Ye Qiu casually broke two of his fingers with just one slap.
A casual slap!
Even if the Inner Courtyard Elder was at the Peak of the King, he couldn't do this while Dongfang Rihua was fully prepared!
Therefore, Dongfang Rihua was certain that Ye Qiu's strength was definitely above the Peak of the King!
If it's stronger… then isn't it Half-Step Divinity Transformation?
Having understood Ye Qiu's strength, Dongfang Rihua's desire to take revenge on Ye Qiu had long dissipated. He only wanted to take this opportunity to let Ye Qiu indirectly teach a lesson to the Inner Courtyard Elder he found extrely distasteful…
The Inner Courtyard Elder knew nothing of this, only disdainfully sizing up Ye Qiu, pondering how to ruthlessly overpower Ye Qiu and showcase his strength in front of Dongfang Rihua.
Those Outer Courtyard disciples present, along with the Inner Courtyard disciples who followed later, naturally were unaware of Dongfang Rihua's intentions.
Seeing the Inner Courtyard Elder about to make a move against Ye Qiu, their gazes filled with sympathy instantly fell on Ye Qiu.
"This guy nad Ye Qiu is truly a genius. So young, yet he easily defeated our Outer Courtyard Elder."
"He truly is a genius, and a top-tier one at that."
"But unfortunately, this genius might fall today. After all, our Inner Courtyard Elder is about to step into the Half-Step Divinity Transformation realm. No matter how talented Ye Qiu is, he can't possibly be his match, right?"
"Exactly, at such a young age, to step into the Half-Step Divinity Transformation realm, other than our Dongfang Family's eldest daughter and other Hidden Clan heirs, who else could achieve that?"
"In any case, it's impossible for Ye Qiu. If he truly were a Half-Step Divinity Transformation, why waste ti? He'd just storm the Dongfang Family directly!"
The disciples of the Dongfang Family discussed animatedly, none of them optimistic about Ye Qiu.
In their view, soone like Ye Qiu, a lone hermit without backers, would naturally be looked down upon deep in their hearts.
"So you're Ye Qiu? Watch out!"
Amidst the discussions, the Inner Courtyard Elder shouted and made his move!
He leaped into the air, raising his right leg high like a massive machete, and with overwhelming montum, he struck toward Ye Qiu.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Almost simultaneously, a loud applause erupted from the Dongfang Family disciples.
Everyone assud Ye Qiu couldn't possibly withstand this move from the Inner Courtyard Elder and took the chance to fawn over the Inner Courtyard Elder.
However, just when everyone thought Ye Qiu would et his doom, Ye Qiu's expression remained unchanged. Casually, he bent to pick up a stone from the ground and casually tossed it towards the airborne Inner Courtyard Elder.
