Upon hearing that Chi Yuan was going to spar with Ye Chen, everyone's spirits lifted; they had been waiting for this very show.
Let's see what it's really like.
They wanted to see if Chi Yuan was as talented as Wenren Bingying claimed, even more so than Ye Chen, and whether he truly deserved to be admired and adored by so many talented and beautiful women.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up as well. The palm strike that Chi Yuan nearly used to kill him a year ago had been a thorn in his heart that he could never get rid of. Whenever he thought of it, he couldn't suppress the urge to take revenge and wanted to tear Chi Yuan to pieces.
Now, his strength is completely different from before. Even if Chi Yuan also possesses the combat power of a Spirit Emperor, he is confident that he can defeat Chi Yuan and repay the humiliation that Chi Yuan brought him tenfold!
"Senior brother, there's no need to provoke me. If you want to spar, I'm naturally happy to oblige, after all..."
Ye Chen stared at Chi Yuan with hatred in his eyes and said in a sinister tone, "I still remember the palm strike you used to sneak up on me a year ago!"
"Ye Chen, have you no shame?"
Ning Wan'er looked at Ye Chen with utter disdain and loudly exposed, "It was clearly you who attacked Bing Ying in full view of everyone, taking advantage of her unpreparedness. Senior brother only acted to protect her. Moreover, senior brother attacked from the front, how could he have ambushed you?"
"That's right, everyone saw it with their own eyes, you were the one who launched the sneak attack!"
The flying artifact that Rong Qingxian and the others were riding landed in the square. All seven women flew to Chi Yuan's side, and Lu Ziling spoke up first.
"Hmph, it was Wenren Bingying who let her guard down, so why do you say I attacked her from behind?"
Ye Chen said confidently.
"You're shameless; you don't even dare admit to launching a sneak attack."
Yu Qingli said sarcastically.
"A sneak attack is also a tactic of combat. If you used it, you used it. What's wrong with admitting it? You have the face of a petty person but insist on pretending to be a gentleman. You are truly shameless!"
Yue Qianrou said with a face full of disgust.
Su Ningyan, Leng Feiruo, and Mu Lingyun also spoke up with merciless sarcasm, which made Ye Chen's anger surge wildly. However, he still had illusions about these seven senior sisters, so he finally suppressed his anger and chose to be a ninja turtle.
He felt that it was all Chi Yuan's fault. If Chi Yuan hadn't been alive, why would his senior sisters have treated him this way?
They must think he's not as good as Chi Yuan, that's why they treat him so badly. Once he crushes Chi Yuan under his feet and shows them the difference between them, they'll know who to be nice to.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen decided to stop arguing. His soaring aura was like a divine sword drawn from its sheath, its sharpness pointing directly at Chi Yuan. He said confidently and arrogantly, "Senior brother, didn't you want to see my progress? Today I'll show you how I can defeat you in one move!"
"presumptuous!"
Just as Ye Chen was preparing to show off his skills, a cold shout came from above, and You Rong Qingyan arrived at the square with the three You Rong Hanyou sisters.
However, they did not stand on Ye Chen's side, but on Chi Yuan's side as well, which surprised everyone around them. As Ye Chen's mother and sister, they did not stand with Ye Chen, but instead stood on the opposite side of Ye Chen.
"You unfilial son, who gave you the audacity to challenge Young Master Fu Feng?!"
You Rongqingyan's face was covered with frost as she rebuked him sharply.
Ye Chen felt a surge of resentment. It was one thing for his three older sisters not to side with him, but even his mother, Rong Qingyan, wasn't on his side.
"Mother, I..."
Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, You Rong Qingyan hurriedly came to Chi Yuan's side and said softly, "Young Master, it's all my fault as his mother for not disciplining this unfilial son properly. Please don't take it to heart. If you're angry, take it out on me. I'm willing to take the blame for him!"
You Rong Qingyan did not want Chi Yuan to fight Ye Chen now. If Chi Yuan slapped Ye Chen to death, how could she get Chi Yuan to take her in?
You Rong Qingyan's mindset has changed. If acknowledging Chi Yuan as her master was a choice she had to make out of necessity, then after that heartfelt kiss a year ago, she was now willing to be Chi Yuan's woman, and even put the task of killing Ye Chen behind her.
After all, she became Chi Yuan's woman first, and Ye Chen would still die anyway. But if Ye Chen died first, she might not be able to become Chi Yuan's woman.
Ye Chen was going to die anyway, so why couldn't she wait until she became Chi Yuan's woman before she died?
Of course, she didn't want to interfere with Chi Yuan killing Ye Chen. She just wanted to use Ye Chen to create an opportunity for herself to win over Chi Yuan. For example, right now, she could use the excuse of lax discipline to get Chi Yuan to punish her.
She said she was willing to take the blame for Ye Chen, but why would Chi Yuan listen to her? Since Chi Yuan wouldn't listen anyway, why not use it as an excuse to win him over? If she didn't find an excuse to win over Chi Yuan, how would she have a chance to get him to accept her?
"Ye Chen's mother actually humbled herself and begged Chi Yuan for mercy? Does she also think that Ye Chen is inferior to Chi Yuan?"
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Logically, the person who should have believed in Ye Chen's strength the most was You Rong Qingyan, but it seemed that You Rong Qingyan did not believe that Ye Chen was a match for Chi Yuan at all.
Most importantly, how did they sense something was off from You Rong Qingyan's words and tone?
"Yuan'er, your master is also at fault. This wicked disciple is so despicable. It's all your fault for not teaching him properly. If you have any anger, take it out on your master. Your master is willing to be punished!"
Rong Qingxian, holding one of Chi Yuan's arms, followed suit, saying that she had waited a year to finally see Chi Yuan, so of course she had to use some big moves; otherwise, after five years, she probably wouldn't have made any progress at all, let alone win over Chi Yuan.
"Master, she..."
Seeing Rong Qingxian's current performance, Lu Ziling and her six fellow disciples all widened their eyes, as if they were seeing Rong Qingxian for the first time, their gazes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
