Capítulo 1739: Chapter 1728: Beca a Laughingstock?
The sect masters of various sects kept entering the Shui’s.
The Shuis and Nine Xuan Sword Sect ford a marriage alliance, and the wedding banquet was divided into two events.
The first banquet was held at the Shuis’, organized by the Shui family.
Soon, the young sect master of Nine Xuan Sword Sect would co to escort the brides; once Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan were married into Nine Xuan Sword Sect, another banquet would be held there.
After all, Nine Xuan Sword Sect is a second-grade sect; their banquet would obviously be more grand than that of the Shuis’.
The Shuis invited sect masters from fourth-grade or fifth-rank sects, whereas Nine Xuan Sword Sect would certainly invite those from third-grade or second-grade sects for their banquet; the Shuis and Nine Xuan Sword Sect were entirely different leagues.
Standing in the front yard of the Shuis’, Ye Chenfeng looked towards the direction of the Shui family’s hall.
Only to see Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan hurriedly exiting from the hall, their acupuncture points had just been automatically unlocked; as they entered the front yard, their gaze was imdiately fixed on Ye Chenfeng, and the father-son duo’s faces were filled with guilt as they walked to Ye Chenfeng’s side.
“Chenfeng, this matter is rather complex, entirely due to our family’s ancestor’s obstinacy. We were both sealed yesterday by him; we originally intended to inform you,” Shui Hongfu said softly, as it was a disgrace to the Shui family he was loath to let others overhear.
Shui Yifan continued quickly, “Chenfeng, Zi Yan and nghan don’t like the young sect master of Nine Xuan Sword Sect at all; don’t misunderstand, they are being watched over.”
Ye Chenfeng smiled again.
This ti, his smile was devoid of anger, for he’d received the answer he’d wanted.
Earlier, he was rely speculating that there might be sothing unusual about this matter. But what if Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan had intentions similar to Shui Rongsheng’s, and Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan were willing to marry—wouldn’t Ye Chenfeng be making a fool of himself?
But now things were as he had guessed: Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan were being forced. So how could Ye Chenfeng possibly stand by and watch as these two won were compelled to marry soone else? He sincerely regarded Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan as friends.
Ye Chenfeng’s smile left Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan puzzled. Shui Hongfu’s old face twitched as he said, “Chenfeng, what we said is true. Rest assured, I, Shui Hongfu, am not ungrateful. This ti, our ancestor’s actions are too outrageous. How could he decide Zi Yan and nghan’s happiness? He knows that the ones they like are you, and you saved our Shui family.”
Shui Yifan said, “Father, what should we do then?”
Shui Hongfu said resolutely, “The sect master of Nine Xuan Sword Sect is ambitious; they may be able to be our patrons, but once the situation in the Earth Profound Realm stabilizes, our entire Shui family might end up being swallowed by Nine Xuan Sword Sect. Is our ancestor willing to let our Shui family beco re vassals of Nine Xuan Sword Sect just for survival?”
“Perhaps in our ancestor’s view, becoming vassals of Nine Xuan Sword Sect ans a stable future for the Shuis; but at that point, the Shuis won’t really be called the Shuis anymore.”
“Since the Shuis are destined to beco a nominal existence, perhaps we should be straightforward about it. At least Zi Yan and nghan won’t regret it for life; this would be our repaynt to you, Chenfeng, for without you, our family would have long been replaced by the Great Elder’s faction.”
Listening to Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan’s words, Ye Chenfeng felt quite fond of the two. He said, “Mr. Shui, I’m aware of your good character. Nine Xuan Sword Sect isn’t that formidable; I’ll help you find future patrons.”
Ye Chenfeng didn’t say he’d help the Shui family find future patrons but used “you” instead, implying he’d only assist people like Shui Hongfu and others, with no relation whatsoever to Shui Rongsheng.
Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan were slightly taken aback. Nine Xuan Sword Sect is a dignified second-grade sect, and they didn’t quite believe Ye Chenfeng’s words, but they currently didn’t have the luxury to ponder over it. Shui Hongfu said, “Chenfeng, wait for us here; if I manage to secretly take Zi Yan and nghan away from the Shuis, I’ll imdiately have Yifan notify you, at which point you should leave as well.”
“But if I can’t take Zi Yan and nghan away, we’ll have to take things one step at a ti.”
After saying that.
Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan imdiately left the front yard of the Shuis’.
Soon, Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan arrived at the courtyard of Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan, where two strong Creation Realm guards still watched over them. Shui Hongfu shouted, “Out of the way, I want to see Zi Yan and nghan.”
One of the Creation Realm guards slightly bowed to Shui Hongfu and said, “Family Head, the eldest Miss Shui and second Miss Shui were just taken by the ancestor’s people.”
Shui Hongfu’s eyes flared as he questioned again, “Where did the ancestor’s people take Zi Yan and nghan?”
The guard didn’t conceal the truth: “They took the side path and should have brought the eldest Miss Shui and second Miss Shui into the hall from the back door.”
Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan were slightly stunned, which ant that shortly after they left the hall, soone from Shui Rongsheng’s side had taken Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan into the hall through the back door. They felt an inexplicable bad on; they imdiately turned around and went back.
And in the Shui family front yard.
Just when Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan had left earlier,
The Chief Steward of the Shuis approached Ye Chenfeng again, saying, “The ancestor said, since you’re unwilling to leave, then please enter the hall.”
It seems that Shui Rongsheng inside the hall has been sensing Ye Chenfeng’s presence. Now that Ye Chenfeng hasn’t left, Shui Rongsheng is likely to carry out the next step.
Ye Chenfeng hesitated slightly, but he soon headed towards the hall; now, with his initial stage in Reincarnation Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer strength, paired with the Chaos Ring, he was well equipped to stay alive.
As he stepped into the hall, everyone’s gaze fell upon Ye Chenfeng.
Shui Rongsheng was seated at the head, while Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan were seated on side chairs, with their acupuncture points sealed and dressed in festive red garnts. Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, their beautiful eyes shone brilliantly, but they were unable to make a sound, rely watching Ye Chenfeng.
Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan were unaware of Ye Chenfeng’s visit to the Shuis; just earlier in the courtyard, two individuals had suddenly entered and sealed their acupuncture points, with maids helping them to change clothes.
During this process, Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan couldn’t resist at all; after changing, they were guided by the maids from the back door into the hall.
Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan hadn’t thought Shui Rongsheng would be so ruthless. Now they couldn’t even speak, let alone commit suicide.
But to Shui Ziyan and Shui nghan’s surprise, Ye Chenfeng suddenly walked into the hall—sothing neither could have anticipated.
In the hall, sect masters from various sects had already sensed the Shui ancestor’s hostility towards Ye Chenfeng outside. Now that Ye Chenfeng entered the hall, they were very curious about Ye Chenfeng’s identity. Although in their eyes, Ye Chenfeng’s strength was only at the initial stage of Creation Realm Second Heavenly Layer, Ye Chenfeng triumphed in youth; with such talent at his young age, he could be considered a genius in their respective sects.
The sect masters didn’t know the Shui ancestor asked Ye Chenfeng inside; since this was quietly arranged through the Chief Steward, to others it seed Ye Chenfeng entered of his own accord.
When Ye Chenfeng stepped into the hall,
Water Rongsheng suddenly stood up from his chair. His face was filled with rage as he sternly shouted at Ye Chenfeng, “Who let you in? What qualifications do you have to enter? Get out!”
In his heart, Shui Rongsheng felt triumphant—he thought he’d given Ye Chenfeng an opportunity to leave, but Ye Chenfeng didn’t appreciate it, so now he’d make Ye Chenfeng a complete joke!
For a mont,
The atmosphere in the hall was sowhat comical.
Nurous gazes focused on Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng had beco a joke.
Ye Chenfeng had beco a clown.
But would Ye Chenfeng willingly beco a joke?
Would he willingly beco a clown?
