Watching Qin Yuru’s worried expression, Ye Luo revealed a faint smile and said, "Don’t worry, I came today to take you and my son with me."

My son?

Hearing these two words from Ye Luo’s mouth, everyone in the banquet hall was shocked, their eyes showing expressions of astonishment and confusion.

Both Ji Mo and Ji Lingtian’s faces changed drastically at the same time.

"You’re looking for death, kid!"

Ji Lingtian’s refined face twisted ferociously as a terrifying surge of energy emanated from his body, immediately sending Qin Yuru flying.

Ye Luo’s face changed, and he dashed towards Qin Yuru like lightning, catching her. At that moment, Ji Lingtian let out a cold shout and struck down at Ye Luo with a palm in mid-air.

The crowd was startled by this, but then Feng Tian moved, instantly blocking in front of Ji Lingtian. With a single hand wave, he sent Ji Lingtian stumbling back repeatedly.

The Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion, Xu Ruobai, saw this and frowned slightly.

"Pavilion Master, should we..." one of the four men standing behind Xu Ruobai couldn’t help but speak up, to which the latter shook his head.

"Yu Ru, are you alright?" Ye Luo asked Qin Yuru worriedly, quickly checking her over.

Fortunately, both Yu Ru and the child were unharmed, only their Blood Qi was a bit agitated, but Ye Luo soon used his True Qi to stabilize it for her.

"Ye Luo..." Qin Yuru looked at Ye Luo, moved by his disregard for his own safety as he rushed to save her, her eyes filled with deep emotion and a complex sentiment.

"May I ask who this esteemed one might be?" Ji Mo stepped onto the stage, his gaze fixed on Feng Tian as he spoke in a deep voice. Although Ji Mo was not a martial artist, he still carried a powerful aura.

"Who I am is not something you need to know," Feng Tian said, his face covered, exuding the air of a mysterious expert, causing some uncertainty among the onlookers.

"If that’s the case, this is a matter of the Ji Family, so I would ask this senior to refrain from interfering," Ji Mo said, his eyes still locked onto Feng Tian.

"What ’your Ji Family’s matter’? That sounds nice, but Qin Yuru is my woman, and she’s carrying my son, Ye Luo’s son, in her belly. This is my, Ye Luo’s, business!"

Ye Luo pulled Qin Yuru behind him and roared thunderously, and his words immediately stunned everyone present. They all stared with open mouths, unable to react.

Qin Yuru was pregnant?

And the child wasn’t Ji Lingtian’s?

Holy shit, this is huge!

This is looking for trouble!

All the guests present were silently shocked, and the eyes of people from the major families of Capital City focused on Ye Luo, Qin Yuru, and Ji Lingtian.

But most eyes were on Ji Lingtian, with a very peculiar expression, and many were tinged with a pitying sigh.

The young master of Century Group, the rising top figure of Capital City, had just been cuckolded by his fiancée. To make matters worse, there was already a child involved, which was a colossal loss of face.

It was in such a grand gathering, when all Upper Society members of Huaxia had assembled, that Ye Luo was publicly humiliated by his fiancée’s lover.

For a man, especially for someone like Ji Lingtian, a scion of a powerful family, this was an indescribable humiliation, and it was a huge scandal for both the Ji Family and Century Group.

"Damn, this Brother Ye is actually this formidable, he’s put a green hat on Ji Lingtian!" Leng Pengzhan secretly marveled from below, then thought of something and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Leng Ruobing beside him. The latter’s face remained very calm, showing no hint of change.

Those familiar with Ye Luo were all inwardly shaken, including Situ Liuyun and his son Situ Yunchao, Mu Qingsong and his son, and Gongsun Lie. Their eyes were all focused intently on Ye Luo, each with a different expression.

"Crown Prince, he is that Ye Luo!"

Watching from below, Cao Wuheng’s eyes lightly rested on Ye Luo, as one of the twin girls standing behind him spoke up.

"Indeed, quite interesting!" A strange smile appeared on Cao Wuheng’s lips, and his eyes seemed to twinkle with starlight, as profound as the cosmos.

As for Ji Lingtian, his face had completely darkened at this point, emitting a cold and dreadful aura as his Saint Realm fourth level might burst forth, making the air in the entire banquet hall seem to freeze.

All present felt an overwhelming pressure, their breathing growing rapid.

"Ye Luo, I want you dead!" Ji Lingtian’s voice was cold and filled with boundless killing intent as he roared.

"Many have wanted me dead, you’re not the first, nor will you be the last!"

Ye Luo retorted coldly as he activated the Nine Yang Mystic Art, with the Lingyun Sword appearing in his hand, and all the power in his six meridians surging.

"Father, help me hold him off!" Ji Lingtian said with an icy look. Ji Mo nodded and waved his hand.

Several immense auras emerged from the shadows, and four elderly men in their fifties or sixties appeared wearing long robes. Their faces were emaciated and wrinkled, but their energies were not to be underestimated.

Saint Realm sixth level!

All four were experts of the Saint Realm sixth level!

Such strength alarmed the representatives of the several major families and the three ancient martial arts families below; they hadn’t expected the Ji Family to possess such terrifying hidden power, with even such strong masters in their ranks.

This power surpassed some of the major families in the secular world and even reached the level of some small forces within the Hidden Sect, but considering that Ji Lingtian was backed by an influential Hidden Sect force like Seven Stars Pavilion, this wasn’t surprising.

As soon as these four Saint Realm sixth level elders appeared, they surrounded Feng Tian, their powerful presence locking onto him, clearly intending to prevent Feng Tian from making a move. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Kid, this time I’d like to see who can help you!" Ji Lingtian’s face twisted savagely as he stared at Ye Luo, completely devoid now of his previously refined demeanor, instead resembling a ravenous wolf ready to tear Ye Luo to pieces.

After all, Ye Luo’s words had caused Ji Lingtian to lose face completely; it was as if he had been made to wear a green hat, even though Qin Yuru hadn’t yet put on the engagement ring and wasn’t officially his fiancée, but others would not think so.

In their eyes, the fiancée of the distinguished Ji Family’s young master was involved with another man and even had his child, that was like a glaring green hat placed on his head, tarnishing not only himself but also the entire Ji Family and Century Group.

In this situation, Ji Lingtian felt an urge to flay Ye Luo’s skin, consume his bones, and drink his blood, and he couldn’t wait to exterminate this man who had brought him such shame.

"I don’t need anyone else’s help. Today, let me see what skills you, the esteemed young master of the Ji Family, possess. Thinking you can make my woman your fiancée is utterly ridiculous." Ye Luo snorted disdainfully.
