Chapter 1348: Chapter 1339: Get Out of Here
Hearing that Ye Chenfeng would seriously consider it, Shui Ziyan finally showed a satisfied smile on her face. She hadn’t taken a close look at Ye Chenfeng just now, but now she clearly sensed that Ye Chenfeng’s strength was at the late stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm’s First Heavenly Layer, which made her eyes sparkle with unusual light.
Shui Ziyan rembered very clearly that the last ti she and Ye Chenfeng parted ways, Ye Chenfeng was only at the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm’s Fourth Heavenly Layer. But how long had it been since then? Ye Chenfeng had already reached the late stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm’s First Heavenly Layer? The speed at which Ye Chenfeng was enhancing his strength was incredibly rapid, and moreover, in Shui Ziyan’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng was still a mysterious and profound Artifact Refiner, which made her even more determined to recruit Ye Chenfeng into the Shuis.
Actually, Ye Chenfeng could not truly be called an Artifact Refiner now; he could only refine storage rings. However, if Shui Ziyan knew that Ye Chenfeng was already a genuine Grade One Alchemist, she would probably not be so calm when speaking to Ye Chenfeng.
“Little brother, the speed at which you’re improving your strength really surprises your big sister!” Shui Ziyan hugged Ye Chenfeng’s arm and continued, “Alright, let take you to see where I live!”
Ye Chenfeng instinctively wanted to pull his arm out, but he knew that Shui Ziyan wasn’t a casual woman. Since Shui Ziyan took the initiative to hold his arm, to forcibly shake her off would only lead to embarrassnt for both of them, so Ye Chenfeng let Shui Ziyan hold his arm.
After Shui Ziyan led Ye Chenfeng for ten minutes, Ye Chenfeng gradually saw so simple wooden houses. Shui Ziyan pointed to the five or six simple houses not far to the left and said, “Little brother, that’s where our Shu family is temporarily staying. The other wooden houses are the residences of the other four sects.”
“Of course, so powerful loose cultivators live here too. If it weren’t for a few powerful loose cultivators stepping forward, our five sects wouldn’t have given up twenty slots to them. But with the help of several powerful loose cultivators, the speed at which we’re breaking the barrier at the entrance of the ruins has significantly increased, and it should be completely opened within two days.”
There was quite a distance between the wooden houses where each major sect was residing. As Shui Ziyan explained to Ye Chenfeng, she led him towards the temporary wooden house of the Shui family.
In front of the five or six wooden houses of the Shuis stood a young man and woman. The young woman was about eighteen years old, wearing a green silk dress, and bore so resemblance to Shui Ziyan. However, this young woman was not as mature as Shui Ziyan, possessing more cuteness and playfulness. She was Shui Ziyan’s younger sister, Shui nghan.
The young man standing next to Shui nghan was about the sa age as Shui Ziyan. Seeing Shui Ziyan walking over while holding Ye Chenfeng’s arm, he showed an unbelievable expression on his face. He was Jiang Junhua, the youngest grandson of the Great Elder of the Shuis.
Obviously, not everyone in the Shuis had the surna Shui. For rapid ascent, the Shuis recruited disciples every year, and apart from the strong direct lineage, the Great Elder’s lineage was the next most powerful. The Great Elder’s lineage was only slightly weaker than the direct lineage, making their position in the Shui family significant.
“nghan, who is the guy your sister Zi Yan is holding by the arm? I don’t think we have such a person in the Shui family?” Jiang Junhua asked with a gloomy expression. Shui Ziyan was considered the goddess in the hearts of every Shui disciple, with countless pursuing her, including Jiang Junhua’s own elder brother, Jiang Junqian.
Jiang Junqian had also co to the Northern Desolate Wasteland. Jiang Junhua had already regarded Shui Ziyan as his sister-in-law in his heart. He believed that even though Shui Ziyan was courteous to others, she was very proud deep down. His brother Jiang Junqian had pursued Shui Ziyan for two years without any progress, so how could Shui Ziyan possibly take the initiative to hold another man’s arm?
Shui Ziyan’s sister, Shui nghan, had a spoiled young lady’s temperant and had a very good relationship with her sister. When she saw her always proud sister holding another man’s arm, she couldn’t help but frown, wondering what kind of person could make her sister so proactive.
Jiang Junhua’s brother, Jiang Junqian, and others all went to the site of the ruins. Currently, in front of the five or six wooden houses of the Shuis, apart from Shui nghan and Jiang Junhua, there were only three Ocean Gathering Realm youths, who were chatting nearby.
When Shui Ziyan brought Ye Chenfeng to stand before Shui nghan and Jiang Junhua, they both imdiately gauged Ye Chenfeng’s strength. They didn’t imagine that the person Shui Ziyan was holding only had a re late stage Ocean Gathering Realm’s First Heavenly Layer strength. Jiang Junhua himself had a strength of the Middle Stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm’s Second Heavenly Layer, while Shui nghan had the Peak of the Ocean Gathering Realm’s Second Heavenly Layer strength.
Shui nghan looked at Ye Chenfeng’s exceedingly fair face, a folding fan in his hand, and a huge black greatsword on his back. This appearance made Shui nghan even more disdainful, thinking this type of person must completely rely on won for survival. How could her sister be interested in such a person?
“nghan, this is my friend. I just happened to run into him outside, and he’s going to go into the ruins with us this ti.” Even when eting her own sister, Shui Ziyan was still gracefully holding Ye Chenfeng’s arm, conducting herself with extre naturalness in every move.
Upon hearing Shui Ziyan’s words, Shui nghan imdiately responded, “Sister, what are you saying? You’re going to give him a slot to enter the ruins? What is his relationship to the Shui family? You surely haven’t fallen for him, right? He only has the late stage Ocean Gathering Realm’s First Heavenly Layer. He isn’t fit for you at all.”
Then, Shui nghan, in a fit of anger, shouted at Ye Chenfeng, “I’ll give you ten breaths to disappear from our sight, or else don’t bla for being impolite.”
Ye Chenfeng casually withdrew his arm from Shui Ziyan’s hold. Seeing this action, Shui nghan thought Ye Chenfeng was indeed a coward, ready to leave imdiately; her eyes were filled with slight scorn towards him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chenfeng shrugged casually, saying, “It’s your sister who invited here, and whether I leave isn’t up to you. Besides, I might beco your brother-in-law, so you’d better be more polite to your future brother-in-law.”
Since Shui nghan was Shui Ziyan’s sister, Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to make a big fuss and jokingly bantered with Shui nghan.
Shui Ziyan’s smile faded, and she said sternly, “Alright, nghan, stop ssing around. He’s a guest of our Shui family, and is this how you treat a guest?”
Seeing Shui Ziyan wasn’t contradicting Ye Chenfeng, Shui nghan beca even more furious, glaring harshly at Ye Chenfeng, and said, “Sister, don’t be fooled by his sweet words. What happened to your pride? How could you fancy soone like him? Even a mangy dog is better than him.”
Ye Chenfeng initially didn’t intend to argue with Shui nghan, but when he heard Shui nghan compare him to a mangy dog, his expression turned cold. Standing to the side, Jiang Junhua, who had been pursuing Shui nghan, imdiately pointed at Ye Chenfeng and shouted, “Kid, if you don’t want to die, then you’d better get out of here.”
Ye Chenfeng calmly looked at Jiang Junhua and asked, “Do you even have a slot to enter the ruins?”
Jiang Junhua arrogantly said, “My slot has been predetermined a long ti ago. If you don’t leave imdiately, I guarantee your end will be miserable.”
“Enough of this nonsense. Apologize to him imdiately, or both of you get out of here.” Shui Ziyan’s face turned cold. Since Ye Chenfeng was soone she brought back, how could she let him be mistreated? In her view, her sister was simply too immature. She pressed her Divine Thought Realm aura upon Shui nghan and Jiang Junhua.
