Chapter 3: Showing Off, I Can Do It Too
“Young master Gu, I beg your forgiveness for this disciple Ye Chen’s lack of manners.”
The Holy Master of Taixuan’s face fell.
As he apologized to Gu Chengge, he signaled to several elders using his eyes.
All the guests were watching the drama unfold.
Has his Taixuan Holy Land ever suffered such a humiliation?
“Holy Master, allow me to arrest Ye Chen here and now as an apology to young master Gu.”
At this moment, the Holy Child Chu Xuan took initiative in trying to gain Gu Chengge’s favor.
He was already moving as he spoke. Runes flashed and appeared in his palm as it launched toward Ye Chen in a probing attack.
Booom!
Deep and thunderous sounds blasted out in that space.
Runes merged and transformed into a terrible flash of lightning as if it was a dragon of lightning.
As the Holy Child of Taixuan, his abilities were naturally one of the best among his peers.
Ye Chen was merely an inner disciple.
There was a major disparity between their realms
Thus, how could he possibly be a match for Chu Xuan.
Within the hall, spectral lights appeared. Runes, flashed.
Everyone was watching this battle.
Most people, including the Taixuan Holy Master, didn’t particularly pay attention to the results.
They were just waiting for Ye Chen’s defeat.
After all, if they personally acted, it would be their reputations that were damaged.
There were many spies of the other Holy Lands and major clans among the guests who come to observe the ceremony.
He personally didn’t want to compound his humiliation.
“Come on then.”
Ye Chen on the other hand faced this battle excitedly.
He showed no fear. Instead, he called up all his power and faced the attack head on with a palm strike.
“That Ye Chen really doesn’t know his own place. He didn’t even consider his actual abilities, and is just trying to commit suicide here.”
Some inner disciples sneered with derision.
“Holy Child Chu Xuan is a half step to the Transcendent realm. Ye Chen is merely at the Soul Palace realm. This isn’t even going into the fact that the Holy Child bears the Thunder Prison Divine Body…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“There’s no chance of unexpected happenings in this fight.”
The rest of the disciples were chattering. All of them believed that Ye Chen was merely committing suicide.
In the next moment, flames shines. Lightning flashed.
In an explosive clash, heat met brilliant light.
Chu Xuan’s body shook. His mighty body was actually slightly numb.
Ye Chen however acted like a young god of fire. He stood unmoved with a confident expression.
“What…”
“For him to be that strong…”
Countless young female disciples started showing some interest.
Ye Chen’s strength rather exceeded their expectations.
A lot of people were shocked.
In that exchange, both side equaled each other in force.
“Ye Chen is obviously only at the Soul Palace realm in cultivation, but he actually blocked the Holy Child who is at the Transcendent realm?”
All the disciples and elders were quite shocked at this.
Even the Taixuan Holy Master, who had been watching with a sullen expression, was slightly shaken inside.
After all, Chu Xuan bore a type of Thunder Prison Divine Body. He himself was able to hit above his realm level.
He had few opponents within his own generation.
And yet, he actually failed to finish things in a single move against Ye Chen, who was a whole realm below him?
Could Ye Chen’s own potential be stronger than even Chu Xuan’s? And no one discovered this until now?
Of course, if you were to ask if someone wasn’t surprised by this turn of events.
That would be Gu Changge.
That’s a Child of Fortune after all.
Overturning everyone’s expectations is basically what they did.
He sedately took another sip of his tea.
He spoke without any deliberate hurry or slowness.
“You seem to have quite the trust in his Ye Chen all this time, hmm?”
Su Qingge turned at the statement.
Her originally calm gaze suddenly wavered slightly.
A gentle scent wafted over. It seemed like some kind of perfume.
She didn’t speak.
However, her actions had already betrayed her thoughts.
Gu Changge gave her a deep look and smiled, “For you to put so much effort into acting like you’re calm, are you trying to make me thing that you really don’t have anything going on with Ye Chen? Afraid that I might deal with him?”
“What a cunning woman you are.”
He easily revealed what she was trying to hide.
For some reason, Su Qingge felt that the man before her was very scary. His current actions made her more nervous than back when he was acting uninterested.
However, she pursed her lips and continued to keep silent.
Gu Changge looked down at his cup of tea and spoke in a calm tone, “It’s empty…”
Su Qingge gave him a look before silently picking up the tea pot and refilling his cup.
“Interesting.”
Gu Changge’s smile was quite mysterious. It was like he was saying that to himself, but it also seemed like he was saying it to Su Qingge.
The hand that Su Qingge used to hold the tea pot shook slightly.
When it comes to such well tread cliches, Gu Changge could pull out a few hundred examples off the top of his head.
Ye Chen acted so rashly today.
It was simply because he heard that the Taixuan Holy Master was delivered his own daughter to Gu Chengge’s palace the previous night.
However, his previous personally was indifferent. In his eyes, training was the only thing that mattered.
Thus, he didn’t so much as touch Su Qingge.
However, based on the interactions thus far, it was obvious that Su Qingge is a so called heroine.
After all, going from the plot, Ye Chen had risen up from an unimportant place, and after countless battles, he finally managed to enter the Taixuan Holy Land as a disciple.
It should actually be about the midpoint of his story.
Su Qingge had strong potential, perfect beauty, was the Holy Maiden of the Taixuan Holy Land, and was very smart.
She knew that if Ye Chen were to face off against himself, it would be akin to trying to smash a rock with an egg.
Therefore, she won’t try to ask for lenience for Ye Chen.
All that would do is make himself dislike Ye Chen even more.
The best way then is to purge all relationship with Ye Chen. To make him believe that there was nothing between her and Ye Chen.
With a setting like that, what else could she be but a heroine?
Unfortunately for her, Gu Chengge had long since easily seen through all of that.
It was like he saw things from the god’s eye view.
Especially since now, Gu Chengge knew that he had been set as the villain, so he had no plans of letting Su Qingge off.
A melon, forcibly taken, might not be sweet.
But it does still quenches one’s thirst.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’ve underestimated you.”
Down below, the Taixuan Holy Child Chu Xuan had a terrible expression on his face. He spoke coldly and planned to continue.
For him to have failed to take down Ye Chen before everyone, especially Gu Changge. He felt it was quite shameful of him.
However, at this time, Gu Changge had already come down and waved his hand.
“How boring.”
However, that initial statement made Ye Chen freeze up like he was dumbfounded.
“However, since this whole thing begun with me, I won’t be troubling the Holy Child Chu Quan anymore.”
“That fearlessness. Is it due to ignorance?”
Gu Changge spoke indifferently.
Then, as his gaze fell.
The next moment, a terrifying pressure descended as if the world itself was breaking.
A terrible tempest swept through the main hall. Runes flashed. Spirit energy vibrated.
Everyone felt a deep terror in their very souls.
Even many elders openly showed their shock and fear.
“So this is young master Gu’s true power huh…” The Taixuan Holy Master turned serious.
And with a bang!
The person who started all this, Ye Chen, suddenly visibly shifted in expression. His face was a stark white.
Then, his legs collapsed from under him, and his entire personage dropped to the ground.
His head met the ground, unable to move an inch.
He had been completely crushed.
No matter how much he calls out to his master within his ring, it was of no use.
“How could his true power be so strong…”
Ye Chen raised his head with all his strength and looked up at the man in white, looking down as if gazing at mere ants, with disbelief and unwillingness to accept this result.
Wasn’t it just showing off?
I can do it too.
Gu Changge gave an appearance of being uncaring and above it all, but in actuality, he was sneering in his mind.
There wasn’t any need to think more of it. The original result of this battle should be that Ye Chen would defeat Chu Quan from a position of weakness.
He would overturn everyone’s thoughts.
Then, Ye Chen would use that opening to challenge himself to a fight.
Then maybe make some kind of wager right? Using the old master in his ring, that could be easily accomplished.
It’s quite a nice thought.
However, he was a transmigrator. One that came with a cheat at that.
