Chapter 188 Desire for Revenge 1

Returning to the training ground, Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Yong in front of all the clansmen and disciples and asked, “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Ye Yong lowered his head and did not speak.

After letting out a breath, Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Fan again. “Ye Fan, tell me, what exactly happened?”

Ye Fan gently struggled away from his father who was wiping his wounds with medicine. He walked up to Ye Lingtian and cupped his hands. “Reporting to family head, Ye Yong and the others and I were exchanging moves. What happened just now was only because my skills were inferior to others.”

Ye Lingtian frowned after hearing that. “Ye Fan, you don’t have to be afraid. I’m here today. I guarantee that no one will dare to take revenge on you because you told the truth today.”

After saying this, Ye Lingtian glared at Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan turned his head away and did not say anything.

However, Ye Fan still cupped his hands after hearing this. “Reporting to family head, I’m telling the truth. I’m just sparring with Ye Yong and the others as usual.”

Hearing Ye Fan’s firm answer, Wu Qingce seemed to understand why his senior brother valued this youth so much. Rather than saying that he was trying to make a fool out of himself, it was more appropriate to say that he did not expect anyone to help him at all, because he had already understood that he could only rely on himself in the future.

Ye Yong, who was at the side, was also a little surprised when he heard this, but the corners of his mouth soon curled up because he knew that Ye Fan did not dare to say the truth. He thought that Ye Fan was afraid to tell family head the truth because he would be beaten even more miserably in the future.

“Humph, that’s more like it.” Ye Yong secretly sneered. Seeing that Ye Fan was unwilling to tell the truth no matter what, Ye Lingtian could only sigh and say, “Since that’s the case, be careful when sparring in the future. Don’t get yourself covered in injuries.”

“Yes.” The four of them cupped their hands at Ye Lingtian at the same time.

After settling this matter, Ye Lingtian introduced Wu Qingce to Ye Fan, “This is Wu Qingce of Sect of Returning Hearts. He is the direct disciple of the sect master of Sect of Returning Hearts. He came here specially to break off the engagement. You guys should get to know each other.”

Hearing the words “Sect of Returning Hearts”, Ye Fan could not help but clench his fists. He raised his head and glanced at Wu Qingce. Ye Fan said expressionlessly, “Ye Fan.”

“Nice to meet you.” Wu Qingce cupped his hands toward Ye Fan.

Seeing that Ye Fan didn’t respond, Wu Qingce continued, “Before I left, my master told me to make a proper apology to you. This matter is all his granddaughter’s fault. I apologize to you on her behalf.”

However, after Ye Fan heard it, his fists clenched even tighter. He said in a voice that was almost squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth, “Tell her that I will go and look for her three years later.”

Hearing this answer, Wu Qingce was surprised. It was reasonable. A few days ago, he had followed his senior brother to observe Ye Fan. It could be said that his current miserable state was all because of Lu Qingyin’s annulment of the marriage.

Looking at Ye Fan’s determined and angry eyes, Wu Qingce suddenly recalled what his senior brother had said to him last night.

“It is impossible to make Ye Fan let go of his hatred by apologizing. The pain of suddenly becoming a useless person, the resentment of being looked down upon by the elders, and the hatred of being bullied by his peers. It can be said that Ye Fan has blamed all of this on Lu Qingyin.”

Now, it seemed that what his senior brother said was not wrong at all. From his various performances, Wu Qingce could be sure that Ye Fan had already taken revenge on Lu Qingyin as a motivation to move forward, or even… to survive.

It

Seeing that Wu Qingce was stunned, Ye Lingtian tried to smooth things over. “Ye Fan, watch your attitude. He’s apologizing to you.”

“Even if Lu Qingyin came to apologize to me personally, I wouldn’t accept her apology.”

“You brat…” Knowing the situation that day, Ye Lingtian couldn’t blame Ye Fan entirely, so he could only say to Wu Qingce, “This child is stubborn temper. I’ll talk to him later.”

After saying that, he immediately changed the topic, “I haven’t had the chance to ask. Qingce, What’s your age?”

“I’ll be 20 next year.”

“Then you’re really young. Your future is limitless.” After saying that, Ye Lingtian looked at the disciples lined up by the side and said, “Ye Shuo, step out.” “Yes!” A man dressed in a long-striped robe walked out of the line and cupped his hands towards Ye Lingtian.

Nodding his head, Ye Lingtian introduced him to Wu Qingce, “This is my eldest grandson, Ye Shuo. He’s the same age as you. He is already at level 9 mystic realm.”

When Ye Lingtian spoke, he was obviously a little proud. Ye Shuo was talented to be able to reach level 9 mystic realm before the age of 20. There were not many in Jiyuan Town or even the entire Sipan County could do so.

The other disciples looked at Ye Shuo with envy and admiration. As one of the top figures in the third generation of the Ye family, not only was Ye Shuo the oldest, but his cultivation was also far above everyone else. Many disciples were jealous of his extremely high talent.

There was nothing they could do. The difference between them and Ye Shuo was simply too big.

“Nice to meet you.” Wu Qingce cupped his hands towards Ye Shuo.

“Nice to meet you.” Ye Shuo returned a bow to Wu Qingce and continued, “Since Brother Wu is Sect Master Lu’s direct disciple, there must be something special about you. I wonder if I can ask for some advice.”

“You flatter me. Feel free to ask anything you want to ask. I will definitely tell you everything.”

“Then…” Ye Shuo’s eyes flashed with excitement, “I want to spar with you. I hope you will not be stingy with your advice.”

Hearing that Ye Shuo directly challenged Wu Qingce, Ye Lingtian was very satisfied in his heart. But he still scolded Ye Shuo, “Ye Shuo, don’t be rude to our guest. Qingce came from afar and did not have time to rest, yet you want to spar with him.”

Without waiting for Ye Shuo to speak, Wu Qingce spoke first, “No worries, I also want to see the Senluo Sword of the Ye family. Let’s have a match.”

Wu Qingce had to complete the missions that was given by his senior brother. One of the missions required him to establish the image of a strong person and intimidate the Ye family’s disciples.

He was originally thinking about how he could ask the Ye family disciples for a fight, but who knew that someone would come knocking on his door.

Upon hearing that Wu Qingce had accepted the challenge, the disciples of the Ye family were all excited.

This was because they did not know much about Sect of Returning Hearts. All they knew was that it was far away in the Fengzhou. Sect Master Lu was a mysterious emperor-level figure and had a good relationship with their family.

However, just because Sect Master Lu was powerful did not mean that his disciple was powerful. Therefore, they were still looking forward to the sparks between the third generation of the Ye family and the mystic emperor’s disciple.

Seeing how Wu Qingce accepted the challenge without hesitation, Ye Lingtian naturally did not have any intention of stopping him.

He ordered his disciples to draw a round field. Then, Wu Qingce and Ye Shuo walked into the circle and stared at each other.

“Senior Brother Ye, rise!”

“Senior Brother Ye, you will definitely win.”

“Ye Shuo, if you win, I will bring you to Fragrance Pavilion!”

When the last disciple finished shouting, he felt that all the elders glared at him, so he quickly lowered his head and thought to himself. “You can’t see me. You can’t see me.”

As Ye Shuo’s father, Ye Xiude walked forward and pressed his hands together, signaling for everyone not to shout. This was a friendly match to begin with. The fact that the Ye family disciples cheered passionately for their senior had actually changed the atmosphere of the match.

Seeing that the disciples had quieted down, Ye Xiude glanced at his father. Seeing his father nod, he turned around and said to the two people in the circle, “Both sides, get ready. This is just a friendly match, don’t get carry away.”

The two nodded at the same time.

“Okay, then let’s begin.”

As Ye Xiude gave the order, Ye Shuo quickly pulled out the Leaf Blade at his waist. At the same time, bamboo-green mystic energy instantly exploded out, rushing towards Wu Qingce.

The profoundness of the Senluo Sword Technique was to catch the opponent off guard. When used with a soft sword, the sword would attack from a very strange angle.

Ye Shuo did not have any intention of being polite. He used 100% of his strength in the first strike, and the Leaf Blade actually curved and stabbed towards Wu Qingce’s back.

But just as he thought that his surprise attack had succeeded, his eyes blurred, and he saw Wu Qingce disappear on the spot.
