Chapter 3470: She Is My Friend (Seventh Update)
Chapter 3470: Chapter 3470: She Is My Friend (Seventh Update)
The face of the Jade Crowned Man turned completely pale, devoid of any blood. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, trembling with fear, and said, "Ye... Young Master Ye, I apologize, I didn’t know it was you earlier, I deeply offended you..."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, can you now tell me about the matter of Xuan Nu’s marriage proposal?"
The Jade Crowned Man slightly relaxed, it seemed that Ye Chen was not as terrifying as the legends portrayed...
Immediately, he nodded like a little chicken pecking rice and said, "I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
But just at that moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from behind Ye Chen.
At the same time, a deep and cold voice resounded within Jinxiao Pavilion like a thunderbolt!
"You... are Ye Chen?"
Ye Chen turned around to see two men standing behind him, it was none other than Gu Han and Chen Yang!
At this moment, Gu Han was looking at him with a half-smile, while Chen Yang’s face was filled with gloom!
The questioning voice came from Chen Yang!
The few young men sitting behind Ye Chen were already so terrified they were holding their breath, they saluted and said, "Greetings, City Lord Chen!"
Neither Ye Chen nor Chen Yang were people they could afford to offend!
Ye Chen looked at Chen Yang, his gaze flickering slightly, Was this the City Lord of Black Gold City?
Chen Yang and Gu Han were both at the sixth layer of the Holy Ancestor Realm, and now Ye Chen, without the assistance of his Sword Soul and the power of the Samsara Graveyard, was roughly at the sixth layer of the Holy Ancestor Realm!
And if he utilized the power of the Sword Soul and the powerhouses from the Samsara Graveyard, even facing a martial artist at the seventh-level of the Holy Ancestor Realm, Ye Chen was confident in his ability to battle them!
Therefore, Gu Han and Chen Yang posed no threat to Ye Chen at all.
Ye Chen said indifferently, "Yes, that’s me."
Chen Yang sneered coldly and said, "Heh, you brat, you are quite honest. As the City Lord, I ask you, why do you defy orders? You even injured two constables of the City Lord’s Faction!"
Ye Chen said expressionlessly, "I am not a person of Black Gold City, what do your orders have to do with me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire tavern instantly turned cold, the air almost freezing into frost!
Ye Chen gave no face to Chen Yang at all!
Directly saying, what do your orders have to do with me?
The three men sitting at the neighboring table to Ye Chen all trembled, so shocked they could hardly breathe!
You must know, Chen Yang is a late-stage powerhouse of the Holy Ancestor Realm!
The gap between each layer of the Holy Ancestor Realm is like a chasm, let alone between two layers!
Even so, would Ye Chen still not give face?
"You!" Chen Yang’s twin eyes were instantly filled with blood, the veins on his forehead bulging, the aura around him tending toward explosion! In this frenzied aura, every martial artist in Black Gold City showed signs of fear!
As if a world-destroying calamity could descend upon them at any moment!
Chen Yang, who was extremely concerned about face, was actually publicly humiliated by Ye Chen? Even Gu Han wouldn’t dare speak to him like this!
How could he not be angry?
Chen Yang grimly sneered, "Brat, you think beating two beings at the fourth level of the Holy Ancestor Realm means no one can touch you? Heh, today, I don’t care what your background is, unless you kneel and apologize to me, don’t expect to leave here alive!"
Ye Chen suddenly turned his head and smiled at the Jade Crowned Man, "What were you saying to me earlier?"
"Ah?" The Jade Crowned Man looked at Ye Chen in confusion.
Ye Chen looked at Chen Yang and said coldly, "He said earlier that those who overestimate themselves will suffer. That phrase suits City Lord Chen very well."
With a roaring explosion, the nearly palpable powerful aura of the Holy Ancestor Realm erupted from Chen Yang, causing the Jinxiao Pavilion, made of extremely tough materials and reinforced with several array formations, to emit creaking sounds under the enormous strain!
Like a dilapidated wooden house under a level ten typhoon!
Chen Yang stared intensely at Ye Chen, unable to endure any longer, and was about to make a move as spiritual energy surged!
But suddenly, a hand stopped in front of Chen Yang.
It was Gu Han’s hand.
Chen Yang was slightly stunned, suppressed his aura forcibly, and frowned, "Young Master Gu, what’s this?"
Was Gu Han going to protect this brat?
Chen Yang’s face darkened, he originally targeted Ye Chen to prove himself in front of Gu Han, but now, he’s completely antagonized Ye Chen!
Gu Han smiled faintly and said, "City Lord Chen, leave this person to me."
Hmm?
Chen Yang looked at Gu Han with some surprise, wasn’t he going to protect Ye Chen, but rather take on Ye Chen himself?
What did Ye Chen do to provoke him?
Suddenly, a look of understanding flashed in Chen Yang’s eyes, and the next moment, when he looked at Ye Chen, his face was full of smiles.
What did Ye Chen just say?
Overestimating oneself, bringing misfortune?
Heh, that was indeed right, but it applies more to Ye Chen himself!
Jin Shuhui was the woman Gu Han had his eyes on, and it seemed earlier Ye Chen was inquiring about her?
Gu Han, though usually indifferent, becomes extremely petty and possessive once it involves women!
In his view, someone like Ye Chen doesn’t even have the qualification to show interest in his woman, let alone deserve it!
Gu Han looked at Ye Chen playfully and sneered, "You seem very interested in the Refining God Peak’s Mysterious Lady?"
All the gazes in Jinxiao Pavilion focused on Ye Chen, curious as to how he would respond, considering he was so bold even when facing Chen Yang!
In the next moment, Ye Chen shook his head!
He said indifferently, "I’m not that interested."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, looking at Ye Chen with disappointed eyes.
Could it be that Ye Chen, who was so bold facing Chen Yang earlier, was really backing down?
Was it all a front in the face of Chen Yang’s horrifying aura?
The so-called "fierce people" seemed nothing more than this...
Chen Yang and Gu Han exchanged a glance and laughed, thinking the same thing.
He looked at Ye Chen, offering a contemptuous smile, "Since you’re not interested, why were you specially inquiring about the marriage proposal of the Refining God Peak’s Mysterious Lady?"
Ye Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, "Because she is my friend."
Ye Chen had some fondness for Jin Shuhui, but it wasn’t of a romantic nature. If this marriage proposal was Jin Shuhui’s own wish, Ye Chen wouldn’t interfere.
But!
If anyone tried to force Jin Shuhui into doing something she didn’t want, Ye Chen absolutely wouldn’t allow it!
Upon hearing this, both Chen Yang and Gu Han burst into laughter!
It was as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world!
Gu Han smiled widely and said, "Friend? Heh, kid, it seems you don’t even know the rules of the Refining God Peak, do you? Once a disciple of the Refining God Peak becomes a Mysterious Lady, she is forbidden from having contact with males outside the sect, and even inside it. Jin Shuhui, back then, became the Mysterious Lady to avoid attention due to her unparalleled beauty, and even spent a long time in a mysterious place in the Upper Realm. She almost exclusively moves between that mysterious place and the Refining God Peak, so how did you have the chance to become her friend?"
Ye Chen remained silent.
Back when Demon Emperor descended upon the Divine Kingdom, Jin Shuhui forcibly tore through the void to arrive.
Of course, this matter couldn’t be disclosed too much.
