"Tianyun, you may not have had much contact with the Ancient Martial Realm, so you might not fully understand how important the Huaxia Saint is to the Ancient Martial Realm of Huaxia. Let put it this way."
"Since ancient tis, there's been a legend in the Ancient Martial Realm of Huaxia: the prophecy of the First Emperor speaks of a Saint erging every five thousand years in the land of Huaxia, who carries the destiny of the nation on their shoulders, possesses Heaven-defying Level martial arts talent that surpasses all others, and will undoubtedly rise to the pinnacle of the Ancient Martial Realm in the future, leading Huaxia to revive the glory of the ancients and stand atop the world!"
"Although I've never t the Huaxia Saint, it's clear without needing to think—this Saint must be a paragon among young people, excelling in character, abilities, and intellect a hundred tis over their peers!"
"Otherwise, on what grounds would the First Emperor prophecy that he will lead Huaxia? On what grounds would he prophecy that he will lead the Ancient Martial Realm?"
"I could even assert that the Huaxia Saint is likely far more extraordinary than I can imagine, much more so than I described just now."
"The Ma Family gained this person's friendship, and while it might not an skyrocketing imdiately in terms of future prospects, it surely ans riding a rocket—shooting into the heavens. That's why the Ma Family, upon knowing that my brother befriended the Saint, imdiately decided to hold this grand celebration banquet, with many Ancient Martial Clans jockeying to attend, hoping to connect with the hope of the Huaxia land—the Huaxia Saint!"
"The entire Ancient Martial Realm has gone mad over the appearance of the Huaxia Saint, all flocking to him, which is enough to show how outstanding he is..."
While Ye Huan's family couldn't make sense of the situation and felt sowhat dazed, Lu Bei Bei enthusiastically introduced the Huaxia Saint to them, speaking extensively about the prophecies regarding the Saint and the trendous impact the Saint's appearance had, her words filled with reverence.
This made Ye Huan's family feel incredibly awkward.
Liu Tianyun and her companions were quite clear on how exceptional the Huaxia Saint was, for the Saint was their husband!
In the passenger seat, Ye Huan wiped his nose, his old face slightly reddening. Despite having weathered many storms, being praised so highly to his face was still sowhat embarrassing.
Beside him, Martin, who was driving, saw Ye Huan's deanor and couldn't help but sneer to himself, wondering what was there to feel embarrassed about, thinking that Lu Bei Bei's praises of the Saint had nothing to do with Ye Huan whatsoever.
Martin wasn't fond of Ye Huan; right from the mont he and Lu Bei Bei picked up Ye Huan's family at the station, he harbored intense hostility toward Ye Huan.
The reason was, in fact, quite simple.
Jealousy!
Ye Huan's luck with won was truly enviable!
For Martin to be with won, he had to sneak off to so salons or bathhouses, seeking out those garishly made-up, emaciated, gaudy won.
And Ye Huan?
He held five top-tier beauties in his embrace!
Each of them was curvaceous, with exquisite looks and distinguished temperants.
Martin was deeply unbalanced and extrely envious of Ye Huan.
The difference between people was simply too great!
In the past, Martin wouldn't have been jealous of Ye Huan; he would rely admire him.
After all, Ye Huan's identity was prominent, being an heir to the Rothschilds of the West along with the Ye and Li families of Huaxia, the future World Emperor.
In comparison, Martin was just an ordinary talented junior of the Ma Family, with neither the background nor the resources to compare with Ye Huan.
Under those circumstances, it was only natural that Ye Huan had more beauties around him, leaving Martin only room to envy and sigh.
But now, things were different; Martin's current status was not what it used to be.
The friend of the Huaxia Saint!
Indeed, Martin had already begun deceiving himself.
At the start, when Ma Pufang announced his connection to the Saint and that the Ma Family was about to hold a banquet for this, Martin was both flustered and nervous.
If the deceit of pretending to be a Saint's friend were exposed, it could cost him his head!
But the news had spread, and there was no turning back, so he imdiately thought of fleeing, the farther the better.
However, once he received nurous calls from previously top Ancient Martial Clan patriarchs, with their voices full of flattery, as well as ambiguous WeChat ssages from various ladies of Ancient Martial Clans, Martin was elated!
Gradually, he subconsciously accepted this identity, imrsing himself in the lie, intending to continue the deception until after the celebration banquet. Once he collected the gifts offered by the major clans, he would assess the situation.
In short, he planned to gather as much money as possible before the Huaxia Saint personally exposed his lies, preparing to escape abroad for a life of debauched luxury!
Before being exposed, he considered himself to be the respected friend of the Saint throughout the Ancient Martial Realm!
The title of the Saint's friend elevated his status by at least ten levels, nearly on par with Ye Huan, perhaps even surpassing him...
No, in today's Ancient Martial Realm, the influence and status of a Saint's friend were far superior to that of Ye Huan.
But he still lacked a top-tier woman of his own, naturally making him exceedingly envious and jealous of Ye Huan, who possessed five supre beauties, making him extrely displeased with Ye Huan.
"So you see, do you understand now? The Huaxia Saint is the hope of Huaxia. For my brother to earn his recognition is truly not easy. Wouldn't you say he's outstanding and formidable?" After her lengthy praise of the Huaxia Saint, Lu Bei Bei's mouth was dry, so she gulped down a mouthful of mineral water.
After catching her breath, she noticed Liu Tianyun and her companions looking visibly awkward, with a strong sense of embarrassnt in the air, making Lu Bei Bei puzzled.
Soon, she ntally slapped herself, realizing her actions were thoughtless.
Liu Tianyun's husband—Ye Huan was right in front, and she had lavishly praised another man's excellence, surely impacting Ye Huan's confidence and self-esteem.
Lu Bei Bei quickly grabbed Liu Tianyun's hand, blinked, and smiled in an attempt to redy the situation: "The Huaxia Saint is indeed outstanding, but your Ye Huan is also very excellent, not much different from the Saint..."
"Sis, how can you lie with your eyes open?"
Before Lu Bei Bei could finish, Martin in the front row, unable to hold back, coldly interrupted, "The Huaxia Saint is the pride, the leading figure of our younger generation in Huaxia!"
"Young Master Ye is also outstanding, revered as the future World Emperor, but that's just a vanity title. The Huaxia Saint's identity is the real deal!"
"Given ti, when the Saint grows, he will be the true World Emperor grasping global control; the followers he'll have far outnumber Ye Huan by hundreds, and the connections and resources he commands would be leagues beyond what Ye Huan could dream of!"
Martin's simultaneous praise and belittlent left Lu Bei Bei anxious, and she jabbed Martin's back through the seat gap, signaling him to stop undermining Ye Huan's confidence.
But how could Martin pass up such a pri opportunity to put Ye Huan down?
"In summary: Ye Huan might be an extraordinary youth, but compared to the Saint, he's crushed to dust in no ti!"
Having said this, Martin took his right hand off the steering wheel, patronizingly patted Ye Huan's shoulder, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, offering aningful advice, "Ye Huan, my friend, don't feel overly proud of your current achievents; understand this: there's always soone better, sothing greater. Few surpass you, but there are indeed those who do. The Huaxia Saint is one, and as the Saint's friend, I..."
Martin patted his chest proudly, declaring, "I'm the second!"
