Ye Xiao was filled with hatred; he had put so much effort just to thoroughly belittle Ye Haochuan. Yet he hadn’t expected that a single sentence from Yang Sen would render all his efforts useless.
"Brother Yang, what has gotten you so angry?" A hearty laugh suddenly echoed from the entrance.
"Sect Master!" As soon as this person appeared, almost everyone except Yang Sen bowed in greeting.
If it wasn’t Ye Hao, who else could it be?
Seeing Ye Hao arrive, Ye Xiao’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly made his way to Ye Hao’s side, respectfully saying, "Grandfather, just now a contestant didn’t make it into the top five, yet Director Yang insisted on having them in the top five, which is why a conflict arose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Sen disdainfully snorted, "When did the so-called top genius beco only capable of sowing discord?"
Ye Xiao’s words were a clear insinuation of his bias, which made Yang Sen understandably angry.
"I’d like to see if your grandfather will not give this face!"
Ye Hao’s expression turned sowhat grim. Ever since the incident with Ye Haochuan in the White Court Origin Realm, Yang Sen’s temperant had drastically changed, and he even held so resentnt toward Ye Hao. Over ti, these two originally peaceful leaders frequently clashed over trivial matters.
With the imminent threat to Xuann, Ye Hao really didn’t want to clash with Yang Sen, so he had been conceding everywhere. However, he hadn’t anticipated that today, at the Greenstone Society, Yang Sen would erupt once more.
But when he saw Ye Haochuan’s face, he finally understood why Yang Sen was angry.
It could be said that the root of his conflicts with Yang Sen stemd from Ye Haochuan. Ye Hao was very clear about Ye Haochuan’s status in Yang Sen’s heart.
"I didn’t expect you to still be alive; you’re a great contributor to Xuann!" Ye Hao, as if not hearing Ye Xiao’s words, smiled and walked to Ye Haochuan, saying.
This statent was partly to appease Yang Sen and partly from genuine sentint.
Previously, Long Keyue had also said that without Ye Haochuan, she wouldn’t have been able to complete the Divine Descent. They had been trapped within the Holy City back then, and without the Divine Descent, they couldn’t have escaped. So calling Ye Haochuan a great contributor to Xuann wasn’t an exaggeration.
However, only Yang Sen, Ye Hao, and Ye Xiao knew about this; even people like Long Wei and Yang Xin were utterly confused.
"Oh, not at all. If it weren’t for the Treasure-Level Early Stage cultivation technique given by Sect Master Ye back then, I wouldn’t have completed the task so easily!" Ye Haochuan smiled with a hint of mockery.
This remark was obviously sarcastic. At that ti, he offered up the Snow Condensation Revival Pill and Healing Pills, and Yang Sen directly gave him a Treasure-Level Late Stage cultivation technique, while Ye Hao only provided a Treasure-Level Early Stage eight-level palm and Treasure-Level Mid-Stage Tortoise Pattern Shield.
All those present were cultivators above Core Formation and naturally understood that on such a level of battlefield, a Treasure-Level Early Stage cultivation technique couldn’t change anything.
Seeing the odd looks from those around, Ye Hao didn’t get angry but instead laughed, "The eight-level palm was just a reward for your contribution of dicine. You’ve made such a great contribution, how could Xuann not show appreciation? After the Greenstone Society ends, I’ll give you a grand reward."
"Great, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of good cultivation technique Sect Master Ye will offer this ti!" Ye Haochuan replied with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Ye Hao couldn’t help but smile wryly at his words, knowing Ye Haochuan had cornered him. If he didn’t provide a good cultivation technique, it would be hard for him to save face.
Yet, as he ntioned, Ye Haochuan indeed had made significant contributions; rewarding him with a good cultivation technique wouldn’t be excessive. Moreover, if the appearance of Ye Haochuan helped nd his relationship with Yang Sen, it would be an unexpected joy.
With this in mind, he stopped dwelling on the reward and solemnly said to Long Wei, "This is our great contributor, and as Director Yang ntioned, his strength and talent are unmatched, so his not making the top five must’ve been a fluke."
"Yes, yes, I’ll remove the lowest score from the recent five and add his na in." Long Wei helplessly agreed; with the two giants of Xuann having spoken, how could he object?
"There’s no need to remove the last person. Consider him a special selection who shall enter the finals with the other five. Since Ku Hai isn’t coming this ti, there will still be ten in the finals!" Ye Hao suggested with a laugh.
Off to the side, Ye Xiao’s face turned a frightening shade of green, veins bulging on his clenched fists.
He could tolerate Yang Sen not helping him, but he hadn’t expected Ye Hao, who had always favored him, to side with Ye Haochuan too.
"Damn it, enjoy it for now. In the finals, I’ll make you pay!" Ye Xiao cursed inwardly, determined to make Ye Haochuan suffer during the finals.
His original plan to disgrace Ye Haochuan hadn’t materialized, but it was just a spontaneous sche. Even if Ye Haochuan entered the finals, it didn’t matter; he’d still have a chance to defeat and sha him there.
With no further disputes, Long Wei imdiately suggested, "If there’s nothing else, should we proceed with the finals, Sect Masters?"
The audience beneath the tower had been waiting for hours, and truly, the finals couldn’t be delayed any longer.
"Hmm!" Ye Hao nodded slightly, allowing Long Wei to make the arrangents.
At that mont, Yang Sen was still chatting with Ye Haochuan. However, since the two weren’t very familiar, the conversation quickly turned awkward.
"Father, the stage is set; you can take your seat!" Yang Xin suddenly approached Yang Sen and respectfully inford him.
"Hmm!" Yang Sen responded gently, but then suddenly snapped, "You unfilial son! You noticed this kid and didn’t even inform your father, making worry for nothing for a day!"
Yang Xin felt nothing but bitterness; how could he have known this Ye Haochuan was the one Yang Sen always referred to? After all, the Ye Haochuan Yang Sen talked about was supposedly "dead." Finding Ye Haochuan now, he rely thought it was a case of the sa na.
Nevertheless, he knew Yang Sen was rely venting. Now that Ye Haochuan was found, Yang Sen wouldn’t bla him.
For so reason, Yang Xin started harboring a peculiar feeling. While Yang Sen valued his three sons, he never treated them like he did Ye Haochuan.
Once this feeling erged, it took root in his heart. Eventually, even his glances at Ye Haochuan turned awkward.
As Yang Xin expected, Yang Sen didn’t truly intend to bla him. After making his remark, he got up to prepare.
"You bastard! What do you an by saying seeing your woman get bullied makes you angry? Who’s your woman anyway?" Long Keyue suddenly teased him coyly.
Although her words sounded like she was angry, her shy yet slightly joyful expression clearly showed she was pleased with the remark.
"Actually, I spoke wrongly earlier; you are not my woman!" Ye Haochuan suddenly stated coldly.
