The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2150 - 2139: No More Ties

The momentum of the Divine King Realm surged within Luo Qianjiang’s body.

With eyes burning with hidden anger, he stared intently at Ye Chenfeng and demanded, "What exactly happened in the Hong Tian Realm? Are you hiding something? How could the Hong Tian Realm disappear without reason?"

Ye Chenfeng met Luo Qianjiang’s gaze without backing down, retorting, "The ancestor of Xiao Yao Palace truly lives up to his name! You knew I was participating in the Tian Xuan Grand Event and still tried to kill me. Now, in the very place the event is held, you’re so impatient to attack me? Does the Ancestor of Xiao Yao Palace have such disregard for the rules of the Tian Xuan Grand Event? Shouldn’t it be abolished if it’s so meaningless?"

"I am just someone with mere peak sixth-level Divinity Transformation Realm strength. What ability do I have to affect the Hong Tian Realm? What could I possibly conceal? I’d say it’s Xiao Yao Palace that can’t wait to get rid of a minor character like me!"

Standing next to Ye Chenfeng were ten vice Pavilion Masters from the Array Magic Pavilion, and Ye Chenfeng’s position as the Chief Pavilion Master had yet to be announced.

Among them, Zhao Xingtu stepped forward and said, "Xiao Yao Palace sure is impressive! The Tian Xuan Grand Event is a grand event for the entire Tian Xuan Realm, and no one can ignore its rules."

Liang Xiaomei angrily stated, "As one of the three top-tier forces of the Central Continent, Xiao Yao Palace should set an example."

Leng Zuolong also said, "Please, Xiao Yao Palace, show some self-respect. If this is the so-called Tian Xuan Grand Event, then our Array Magic Pavilion has no reason to participate."

...

As the ten Pavilion Masters of the Array Magic Pavilion spoke one after another.

Yuan Kun, Gao Deming, and Yuan Jia, who had been in the VIP room, also came to Ye Chenfeng’s side.

Few knew of Ye Chenfeng’s identity as an Alchemist. Xue Wanqing and others knew him as a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, while Yuan Kun and Zhao Xingtu only thought him to be a Fourth-Rank Alchemist.

With a fierce glare at Luo Qianjiang, Yuan Jia didn’t care if he was the ancestor of Xiao Yao Palace!

Yuan Kun cupped his hands to those present and said, "I also agree with the views of the ten Pavilion Masters of the Array Magic Pavilion, the rules of the Tian Xuan Grand Event should not be trampled upon!"

Gao Deming immediately echoed, "Indeed, if the rules of the Tian Xuan Grand Event are just for show, then there’s no reason to continue holding it. Is it appropriate for Senior Luo to question a junior of the Divinity Transformation Realm like this? Everyone knows such a junior cannot possibly cause changes to the Hong Tian Realm."

Another figure appeared next to Ye Chenfeng; it was Wang Xinghuai, the vice Pavilion Master of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion headquarters. He didn’t hesitate to say, "I agree as well. Senior Luo, you should be investigating why the Hong Tian Realm disappeared, not troubling a junior here."

Seeing the ten Pavilion Masters of the Array Magic Pavilion, two vice Pavilion Masters of the Alchemy Pavilion, and one vice Pavilion Master of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion all stepping up to support Ye Chenfeng, Mu Chengtong, Sect Master of the Demonic Flame Valley, also smiled and said, "This matter cannot possibly be related to this young friend from the Qingyue Sect. Let’s not dwell on it. Up next are the Four Masters’ Contest and the finals of the Tian Xuan Grand Event!"

Luo Qianjiang’s face turned a shade of green as so many stood against him, especially in such a public setting. He really couldn’t make a move here. After a cold snort, he vanished—he had no face to stay any longer.

After Luo Qianjiang left dejectedly, the people of the Jins and Heavenly Sword Sect naturally didn’t approach further.

Most of the other sect members present also believed the Hong Tian Realm’s changes were unlikely related to Ye Chenfeng.

Thus, they agreed with what Ye Chenfeng had just said.

After the people from Xiao Yao Palace and other sects dispersed, Wang Xinghuai patted Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder and said, "Ye my young friend, you came to Spirit Artifact City, and yet, you didn’t come to see me?"

Ye Chenfeng replied, "Senior Wang, I was planning to visit you properly after the Tian Xuan Grand Event concluded!"

Previously, Wang Xinghuai had speculated that Ye Chenfeng was a Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner, but even those present, like Xue Wanqing, didn’t know Ye Chenfeng was an Artifact Refiner.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinghuai understood Ye Chenfeng didn’t wish to participate in the Artifact Refiner competition, unaware that Ye Chenfeng was the white-masked person who had tamed the Vermilion Bird spirit and already advanced directly to the Artifact Refiner competition finals.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng wasn’t interested in participating, Wang Xinghuai said no more, "Ye my young friend, then I’ll wait for your visit."

Back during the Profound Continent days, Wang Xinghuai had shown support for Ye Chenfeng. Xue Wanqing and others assumed Ye Chenfeng got along well with Wang Xinghuai but never suspected he was also an Artifact Refiner.

After Wang Xinghuai left, Yuan Kun smiled and said, "Chenfeng, perform well!"

"Xiao Jia, let’s leave for now! Don’t disturb Chenfeng here; he needs to prepare for the upcoming contests."

Reluctantly, Yuan Jia followed Yuan Kun and others away, knowing that Ye Chenfeng still had to prepare for the Artifact Refiner competition and the Tian Xuan Grand Event finals. Her grandfather was right, so she obediently listened.

After Yuan Kun and others departed.

The Family Head Xiao Hongtian, Xiao Jifan, and Liu Yuqin from the Xiaos approached Xiao Yongzhan, who stood by Ye Chenfeng.

They too had noticed how the vice Pavilion Masters of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion and the Alchemy Pavilion seemed to know Ye Chenfeng.

However, they were here to resolve matters concerning the Xiaos. Regardless of Ye Chenfeng’s connections with pavilion vice Masters, Xiao Hongtian couldn’t swallow the fact that a Xiaos prodigy was killed by Ye Chenfeng in the Hong Tian Realm. Though they couldn’t act against Ye Chenfeng now, correcting Xiao Yongzhan was still plausible, right?

Xiao Hongtian’s face was ominously dark, "Xiao Yongzhan, do you recognize your mistake? As a member of the Xiaos, you always wander outside. I hear you hindered Jifan and others? Do you still consider yourself one of the Xiaos?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I now order you to immediately return to the Xiaos and reflect in seclusion for ten years. Step out even once in these ten years, and you’ll no longer be part of the Xiaos."

Xiao Yongzhan observed the rightful anger of Family Head Xiao Hongtian and glanced at Xiao Jifan, who stood smirking beside him.

Leng Zuolong of the Array Magic Pavilion wanted to speak up but was stopped by Ye Chenfeng, who whispered, "Many things require one’s own decisions. If he still wishes to stay with the Xiaos, then we can’t help him. Let’s see his choice."

Gazing at Xiao Hongtian, Xiao Yongzhan burst into laughter, "Haha, Family Head, you’re such a wonderful family head indeed!"

"Is the Xiaos still my home? My wife was involved with Xiao Jifan; my son is Xiao Jifan’s. The poison I suffered was orchestrated by Xiao Jifan and Liu Yuqin. Don’t claim the poisoning can’t be proven; anyone with half a mind can see the clues!"

"And what was the Xiaos’ final decision? What did you, as Family Head, ultimately decide? Merely symbolically punishing Xiao Jifan and making Liu Yuqin his wife? In the Xiaos, I’m the laughingstock. Is this my home? Is this Xiao Jifan’s home?"

"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"

Xiao Hongtian was so furious his chest heaved; he hadn’t expected Xiao Yongzhan to dare speak to him this way?

Xiao Jifan reprimanded, "Xiao Yongzhan, do you know the sin of being disrespectful to the Family Head? Aren’t you going to kneel and apologize to the Family Head?"

Ignoring Xiao Jifan, Xiao Yongzhan addressed Ye Chenfeng, "Brother Ye, I wish to join the Qingyue Sect. Can you make this decision?"

Although Ye Chenfeng was outwardly a disciple of the Qingyue Sect, those who were familiar knew the Sect Master was likely Ye Chenfeng’s woman.

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Xue Wanqing, who felt a warmth inside at his look, and she nodded slightly at him.

Ye Chenfeng then said, "We at the Qingyue Sect would be delighted to welcome you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yongzhan turned to Xiao Hongtian and resolutely declared, "From today onwards, I, Xiao Yongzhan, have no ties with the Xiaos. My life and death no longer concern you, just as the fate of the Xiaos no longer concerns me."
