Chapter 5 The Brother of the Female Supporting Character Who Broke Off the Engagement (5)

"My son, you mustn't!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye was the first to object. Her son used to be quite strong, but now that his dantian was destroyed, how could he possibly fight?

Ye Xiao's face darkened as well. "Nonsense!"

Ye Chuan straightened his expression and said, "Father, Mother, believe in me, I can do it!"

Changqing chuckled again and continued to stir up trouble, "Ye Chuan, are you sure you want to duel? If you lose, you'll return the ring?"

Ye Chuan's expression turned serious. "Confirmed!"

He even bowed to the city lord and asked him to be the referee.

A strange glint flashed in the city lord's eyes, but he still smiled broadly. He simply looked at Ye Xiao, knowing that Ye Xiao's approval was still required.

Ye Xiao hesitated.

His son is decisive, but he is really worried about him going to the ring to fight. Today, Xia Changqing was very aggressive. What if he was malicious and his son killed him?

Changqing laughed when he saw this.

"Uncle Ye, don't worry, I won't take his life."

Ye Xiao's expression stiffened, and he looked at the city lord, "Then I would like to ask Brother Qin to be a witness."

The rules of the duel were quickly finalized: the fight would begin immediately, and the duel would end when one of them fell off the ring or conceded defeat. In addition, Ye Xiao specifically requested that the referee intervene at crucial moments to prevent either of them from being injured.

Changqing didn't care and nodded immediately.

Strangely, Ye Chuan also seemed quite confident, which piqued the curiosity of many present. Did this young man have some hidden trump card? Considering his previous statement about pretending to be carefree, some people were even more eager for this duel.

Ye Chuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and headed toward the arena.

But Changqing stopped him.

"Since the bet is on that ring, please hand it over to the referee. I'm worried you might deny it if you lose!"

Ye Chuan paused, his expression instantly turning grim.

He asked Elder Xuan, and only after learning that he could still make a move even from dozens of feet away did he carefully take off the ring and hand it to the city lord.

"Is this okay? Hurry up! I don't have time to waste with you!"

He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Changqing naturally followed, and the others followed suit in a swarm.

soon.

The Ye family's martial arts training ground was packed with people.

On the stage, Changqing and Yechuan stood facing each other.

"Xia Changqing, regret your decision today. From now on, you will live as an idiot."

Ye Chuan grinned maliciously and uttered some harsh words.

Elder Xuan had already told him that if he was hit by a soul attack, there was a high chance that his soul would be damaged and he would become an idiot.

"Useless trash!"

Changqing opened his mouth, but only uttered two words, which made Ye Chuan's face turn completely ugly.

Just then, the referee stepped forward and announced the start of the match.

Ye Chuan let out a sinister laugh, roaring in his heart, "Elder Xuan, attack!"

An invisible wind stirred in the arena.

The city lord's expression changed slightly.

Soul attack!

He was knowledgeable and experienced, so he naturally recognized it. He never expected that although Ye Chuan's dantian was destroyed, his soul was still so powerful!

Changqing's lips curled into a cold smile.

If it's a contest of cultivation level, with his current Qi Refining level, he's really just a nobody. But if it's a contest of spiritual power, he's not afraid of anything. Not to mention, his original form is a great demon, and his spiritual power is incredibly strong. After traversing many lifetimes, it has been strengthened even more.

"A mere remnant soul dares to be so presumptuous!"

With a roar of anger, he unleashed his divine soul power, following the wisp of divine soul attack, and launched a counterattack.

Bang!

The ring in the city lord's hand trembled, as if a bubble had burst, and fell to the ground.

That wisp of remnant soul vanished without a sound.

"My ring!"

Ye Chuan's expression changed, and he rushed over, picked up the ring, and put it in his pocket.

Changqing strode forward, grabbed his collar, and with a flick of his wrist threw him off the stage.

"Chuan'er!"

Ye Xiao quickly stepped forward to catch his son.

"You lost."

Changqing stood on the stage and said coldly.

The city lord stepped forward and announced Changqing's victory. Everyone was speechless. They thought he had some trump card, but he was thrown down as soon as he went up.

Only Ye Chuan stared wide-eyed.

"Impossible! Xia Changqing, you can't possibly beat me!"

At the same time, he frantically communicated with Elder Xuan in his mind, "Elder Xuan, did you make a move? Why is Xia Changqing unharmed? Didn't you say you were sure to win? What exactly is going on?"

Elder Xuan, of course, did not respond.

Utter silence!

Ye Chuan gradually felt despair. Elder Xuan must have made a move and had fallen into a deep sleep, but for some reason, his move had no effect.

What do we do now?

Are we going to admit defeat and hand over the ring?

No, it can't!

We must not do that; it would be self-destructive.

Ye Chuan's eyes darted around, and suddenly, he ran away, running for his life. Before the others could react, he had already run out.

Surprisingly, Changqing did not stop him.

He shook his head helplessly and looked at the embarrassed head of the Ye family.

"It seems that Brother Ye really likes this ring. In that case, let's do as Uncle wishes and use something else to offset the cost."

Ye Xiao nodded helplessly.

My son's behavior today was very strange. I'll ask him about it properly after this matter is resolved.

The city lord nodded as well.

If a fight doesn't break out, then his trip wasn't in vain.

However, severe bleeding is inevitable.

Changqing was a skilled negotiator, managing to keep the price within the limits acceptable to the Ye family head.

After the Xia family left, Ye Xiao couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, "They're all a bunch of thugs!" They even took the Rejuvenating Grass he had just acquired, which was almost three times the value of his storage ring!

Madam Ye, who was standing to the side, also sighed.

What can we do?

His own son insisted on having the ring, so he had no choice but to compensate him, even if it meant paying a hefty sum.

"Well, that's finally over. Let's ask our son what happened."

Ye Xiao nodded.

That bastard! He's really gone too far today. He's made the Ye family lose face. First, he got a barrage of insults from Xia Changqing and couldn't even talk back. Then he shamelessly refused to return the ring and even caused a scene on the stage, only to be thrown off. And that's not all. He still wouldn't admit defeat after being thrown off, and just ran away with the ring, forcing Ye to pay double the compensation and suffer huge losses.

It can be said that only the Ye family was injured.

The Xia family broke off the engagement, and the guests enjoyed the show, but the Ye family lost all face.

Even though Ye Xiao loved his son dearly, he couldn't help but get angry.

He never expected that when the couple found their son, the son was overjoyed, saying, "Dad, what does it matter if you lose some things? By keeping this ring, I've kept my future!"

"Are you crazy? This is just a larger storage ring. It's rare, but what does it have to do with the future? You've lost your cultivation and can't even open a storage ring. Why do you insist on taking it?"

"Do you even realize how utterly disgraced the Ye family today?"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but reprimand him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chuan didn't take it seriously at all. "Father, you don't understand. This ring holds a great opportunity. Don't worry, my dantian will be healed in less than three months, and my cultivation will rise very quickly, even surpassing Xia Lengyin!"

"It's true, just believe me, three months isn't a long time!"

He made a solemn promise, but Ye Xiao didn't believe him at all.

Madam Ye was also in tears, but she thought her son had lost his mind.

When they left, the couple were both a little unsteady on their feet.

My son was just getting better, how did he turn into this again?

"It seems we need to call a healer over quickly."

Ye Xiao sighed deeply, feeling that he had aged considerably after just one day.
