Unrivaled Medicine God, page 909
Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, “I’m also not sure, but that old drunkard’s strength, Father, you, should have heard of it, right? He actually stood up for a young man who didn’t even reach the Divine Lord Realm. Isn’t this suspicious? Furthermore, the mysteries on Ye Yuan’s body are too many, numerous until it makes people unable to see through. Such a person, we at least can’t provoke him!”
The more Leng Hongxiu listened, the more frightened he got. To be able to make his daughter have such a high appraisal, this young man was clearly not ordinary.
In truth, how could a genius capable of comprehending spatial shift be ordinary?
The more he thought, the more lingering Leng Hongxiu felt. If Ye Yuan really came from a Heavenly Emperor, or even a Dao Ancestor faction, then the consequences of touching him would be too severe!
“This … Why didn’t you say earlier?! Father nearly made a huge blunder!” Leng Hongxiu said.
Leng Qiuling said, “I wasn’t aware of it beforehand too. In truth, I completely didn’t expect that in a short few centuries’ time, Ye Yuan’s strength could actually reach such a level! You have to know, back then when I met him on the Heavenspan Mountain, he didn’t even reach Divine Lord Realm!”
Back then, when Leng Qiuling encountered Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan was only at the boundary of grand completion Origin Deity.
With Leng Qiuling’s cultivation speed, ordinary people would only get pulled further and further apart from her.
But Ye Yuan actually narrowed the gap until it was just a tiny bit within a short few hundred years.
Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity versus Second Firmament Celestial Deity, it might be insurmountable to ordinary people for life.
But placed on Ye Yuan, it was clearly not very applicable.
One had to know, Ye Yuan kicked the Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity Leng Hao flying with one foot on the stage!
Chapter 1853. Seeking Battle |
“Really didn’t expect that Younger Sister Qiuling actually spoke up for us at the last minute. Just now, I was really frightened badly. It doesn’t matter to me, but if I implicated you, I can’t forgive myself in this lifetime.”
Returning to the courtyard, Leng Xu felt lingering fear.
Previously, on the stage, saying that it was hanging on by a thread was also not over the top.
Even though Ye Yuan had spatial shift, facing a True God powerhouse, it was also impossible to easily escape.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “They won’t do anything to me.”
Seeing Ye Yuan’s indifferent look, Leng Xu said huffily, “You’re really reckless! Uncle he’s a True God powerhouse! But speaking of things, it’s also strange. My relationship with Young Sister Qiuling isn’t considered close. Why would she refute her own father’s face in front of so many people?”
Just as they were talking, a servant came to report, saying that Leng Qiuling came. This made Leng Xu stupefied again.
Leng Qiuling came leisurely, like a moving iceberg, emitting a proud and cold aura from head to toe.
Not seeing for several hundred years, Leng Qiuling’s transformation was very big.
It was not just the increase in strength, her disposition also underwent a drastic change.
Leng Qiuling back then was still just a junior.
But now, she already faintly had the bearing of someone in the upper echelons.
This was portrayed most vividly during the battle for young patriarch.
A casual sentence, but no one dared to refute it.
When Leng Xu saw Leng Qiuling, he went up to greet, saying: “Many thanks to Younger Sister Qiuling for helping us out of our predicament today. Otherwise, Ye Yuan and I would be in danger.”
Although he did not know why Leng Qiuling would come forward and speak up for him, thanks still had to be said.
It was merely a sentence to Leng Qiuling, but to him, it was a life-saving grace.
Faced with Leng Xu’s thanks, Leng Qiuling just said nonchalantly, “Big Brother Xu doesn’t need to be courteous. I was just saying a word of fairness.”
But her gaze went past Leng Xu and looked at the Ye Yuan behind him.
Leng Xu detected Leng Qiuling’s gaze and could not help being taken aback, turning his head and looking toward Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan smiled lightly and opened his mouth and said, “Parting for years, Fairy Leng’s elegant appearance is even more radiant than back then!”
Leng Qiuling smiled faintly and said, “A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes. Young Master Ye really broadened my horizons today! I want to apologize to Young Master Ye and take back the words I said back then.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “It’s all past matters, mention it for what? Today, this Ye still have to thank Fairy Leng for resolving my predicament!”
Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, “I believe that there is no need for me to get you out of the fix. Young Master Ye also has a way to get out of trouble.”
Although she did not know Ye Yuan’s means, if Father wanted to keep Ye Yuan behind, it likely would not be that easy.
Ye Yuan was not that kind of reckless person. Since he mixed into the Leng Family’s dispute, he definitely had some reliance.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “Although I only had the pleasure of meeting Fairy Leng once, Fairy Leng seems like this Ye’s old friend of many years, knowing me like the back of your hand. However, I still have to thank you.”
By the side, Leng Xu was long dumbfounded from listening.
It turned out that Leng Qiuling and Ye Yuan were actually old acquaintances.
It was just that he was very curious, the two people’s conversation sounded very familiar, but was also not very familiar.
It seemed like they merely only happened to have met once.
But this brief one-time encounter could actually make Leng Qiuling behave contrary to her normal behavior, and refute her own father’s face?
Furthermore, Leng Qiuling actually smiled!
She smiled at Ye Yuan!
In Leng Xu’s impression, he had never seen Leng Qiuling smile at a guy before.
The shock in Leng Xu’s heart could be imagined.
“Then Young Master Ye’s thanks, Qiuling will accept it. Qiuling has a presumptuous request. I wonder if Young Master Ye can agree or not?” Leng Qiuling said.
Ye Yuan nodded and smiled as he said, “Fairy Leng’s request, how can this Ye dare to not agree?”
Leng Qiuling’s gaze suddenly became sharp and she said, “Qiuling wishes to have a battle with Sir. I hope that Sir will agree to it.”
Hearing this, Ye Yuan and Leng Xu were both taken aback.
Leng Xu was incomparably surprised. As the Thousand Soar Mansion’s peerless genius, Leng Qiuling could not find an opponent among peers at all.
Her opponents had always been those very senior disciples in Thousand Soar Mansion, their realms were also mostly higher than hers.
Now, she actually wanted to challenge a Second Firmament Celestial Deity.
Of course, Ye Yuan’s strength, Leng Xu admired it greatly too.
At least, he was not his match.
But, to face Leng Qiuling, it was still not enough.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Okay!”
…
“Roar of Ice!”
“Ice Dragon Howling Sky!”
“Spirit Concealing Sword!”
On the stage, two figures fought fiercely without rest. For some time, it was actually hard to distinguish who was superior or inferior.
Ye Yuan relied on law fusion and actually forcefully managed to fight to a draw with Leng Qiuling.
Below the stage, Leng Xu watched until he was dumbfounded, mouth gaping.
“Turns out that Ye Yuan’s strength is actually powerful to such a level already! When he was practicing his sword on me, he didn’t even use 10% of his strength!” Leng Xu murmured.
For him to be able to have a breakthrough in power of laws within ten days, it was entirely because of Ye Yuan’s wringing-style training.
Back then, Leng Xu felt that Ye Yuan was very strong, but did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually strong to the extent where he could battle with Leng Qiuling.
Although Ye Yuan was at a disadvantage, he had just entered Second Firmament Celestial Deity!
Such a monstrous Leng Qiuling was actually leapfrogged and battled by someone.
By the side, Leng Hongxiu was similarly incomparably shocked.
His daughter’s position in the Thousand Soar Mansion, he knew it like the palm of his own hand.
It had always been his daughter jumping realms and challenging others. It was still his first time seeing someone jump realms to challenge his daughter.
Seeing this scene, he was even more certain of Leng Qiuling’s speculation.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Two figures separated upon contact, each retreating away.
Fine beads of sweat actually seeped out on Leng Qiuling’s forehead.
And Ye Yuan also had a rare episode of panting.
Fighting Leng Qiuling was still too forceful to the current him.
Leng Qiuling’s expression was icy-cold, but the shock in her heart could not use words to describe at all.
For the first time in her life, she knew what was called a feeling of setback.
Recalling when she met Ye Yuan back then, she had once said that Ye Yuan and her were destined to not be people in the same world.
But several hundred years had passed, this sentence appeared so feeble.
Although he was still somewhat inferior in terms of strength, without a doubt, Ye Yuan already arrived at her world.
This was indisputable!
Furthermore, developing in accordance with this trend, Ye Yuan surpassing her was merely a matter of time.
It was just that Leng Qiuling could not figure out no matter what, why such a peerlessly talented character would be stuck at grand completion Origin Deity Realm for as long as 300 years.
Thinking about it now, this was simply something beyond comprehension.
“Fairy Leng is indeed well-deserving of being a peerless genius. This Ye concedes defeat!” Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.
This fight just now, he had indeed lost.
However, Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, “Young Master Ye didn’t go all out, so how can you say that you’re defeated? If it were a deathmatch, who will emerge victoriously is not yet known!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Isn’t Fairy Leng the same too? In the end, it’s still that I’m not strong enough.”
Not a life-and-death match, everyone normally would not bring out their 100% strength.
Really reaching that point, that would be the moment of either you die or I perish already. Wanting to pull back would be very difficult.
Chapter 1854. Return in Defeat |
“Haha, Little Friend Ye is really a dragon among men. I offended you earlier. Looking on account of Qiuling’s face, I hope that Little Friend Ye doesn’t blame me.”
Leng Hongxiu’s attitude suddenly changed drastically, making Leng Xu stunned too.
Previously, after the battle for young patriarch, Leng Hongxiu was still going to be cavalier with Ye Yuan.
In this twinkle, he was actually so courteous to him.
Even if Ye Yuan displayed his talent, he was just a junior after all. An exalted True God powerhouse actually apologized to a Celestial Deity Realm martial artist. This would make people’s jaws drop too much.
Ye Yuan had a score in his heart and naturally knew what Leng Hongxiu was thinking in his head.
One would not hit a smiling face, Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Family Head Leng is too polite. This matter, Ye Yuan had areas where I was wrong too. I hope that Family Head Leng is magnanimous enough to forgive.”
Leng Hongxiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Not at all, not at all, Little Friend Ye doesn’t know this but Hao-er is considered half a son to me. So I view him in a different light from others, that’s why there was such a misunderstanding.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Family Head Leng is also someone who values sentiments, Ye Yuan understands, Since Leng Xu has no inclinations towards the position of young patriarch, why not Family Head Leng pass the position of young patriarch to Leng Hao?”
Leng Hongxiu had an awkward look when he heard that, thinking to himself that this kid was so formidable.
This move made concessions in order to gain advantages, it was forcing him to clarify his position!
“Huhu, Little Friend must be joking. Leng Hao made a grave mistake. I was just about to order people to throw him into the dungeons as a warning to others. So how can I let him take the position of young patriarch?” Leng Hongxiu smiled and said.
Leng Xu was dumbfounded from watching by the side. Leng Hongxiu’s attitude change was a little too big.
It even made him have an illusion, feeling that Leng Hongxiu was somewhat groveling.
Actually, even though Leng Hongxiu was a True God powerhouse, he was not some fierce and ambitious person who was decisive in going for the kill.
On the contrary, he was a little weak-willed. Otherwise, he also would not be led by the nose by Leng Hao, this kind of junior.
The reason why he could get his position was entirely relying on his daugther, Leng Qiuling.
With such a peerless proud child of heaven in Thousand Soar Mansion, it would not do for the Leng Family to not want to regard him with importance.
But in terms of character, he actually had flaws and was not very suited to hold the position of family head.
At the thought of Ye Yuan’s possible background, Leng Hongxiu put down the proud attitude of a True God Realm, because he was apprehensive of Ye Yuan.
Actually, this could not be blamed on him either. The Heavenspan Mountain was the core location of the entire Heavenspan World.
Factions that controlled the entrances of the Heavenspan Mountain, not one was not an apex force of the Heavenspan World.
Forget about the Leng Family, even the entire imperial capital could not afford to provoke too.
And the talent that Ye Yuan displayed made him even more certain of this idea.
Not just him, even Leng Qiuling, her thoughts right now were also pretty much the same as his.
But this scene landing in Leng Xu’s eyes was totally not the case.
“Huhu, if Little Friend Ye doesn’t mind, just stay in my Leng Family for the time being. You and Leng Xu are on friendly terms, so I believe that you can get along very well. I still have things and won’t keep you company anymore,” Leng Hongxiu smiled and said.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Then I’ll impose on Family Head.”
…
At the same time, Han Dongjun knelt in front of the Han Family’s family head, Han Tianyu. Tears and snot were on his face.
“Family Head, you have to stand up for Dongjun! I only have this one son. Now, he was actually killed by someone. That Leng Hongxiu was so impolite, having no respect for you at all!”
Han Tianyu’s brows furrowed. He was not that kind of weak-willed person like Leng Hongxiu, being steered by a few words from Han Dongjun.
The Han Family’s strength was even stronger than the Leng Family’s. This was not unrelated to him, this family head.
After musing for a moment, Han Tianyu said, “Come, we’ll go and demand for the person!”
Han Dongjun’s talent in cultivation could not make it, it was likely difficult for him to step into the True God Realm in this lifetime as well.
But his talent in management was very high. The Han Family’s businesses were mostly managed by Han Dongjun.
Now, Han Dongjun was beaten by someone, it was equivalent to giving the Han Family a slap.
A Han Family’s descendant was killed and the father was even injured by people. If he, this Family Head, did not come forward, it could not be justified no matter what.
In Han Dongjun’s view, the Leng Family was only making him go into action because of a matter of face.
Just a Second Firmament Celestial Deity, it was not worthwhile for the Leng Family to fight to the bitter end with the Han Family.
The moment he went into action, he would definitely be captured with ease.
However, he miscalculated!
Facing Han Tianyu’s demand for the person, Leng Hongxiu said with a fake smile, “Huhu, Brother Tianyu, Ye Yuan is my Leng Family’s distinguished guest. You coming forward to demand for the person like this, it’s probably not appropriate, right?”
Han Dongjun was stunned when he heard that. Before he left, wasn’t Leng Hongxiu still yelling about killing Ye Yuan?
How did Ye Yuan become the Leng Family’s honored guest in a blink of an eye?
Hearing Leng Hongxiu’s words, Han Tianyu’s face fell and he said, “Family Head Leng, it’s probably improper for you to be like this, right? That Ye Yuan killed my Han Family’s descendant. If I don’t finish him off, how will my Han Family still show face to people in the imperial capital in the future?”
Leng Hongxiu just said coolly, “That’s your Han Family’s business. Nothing to do with me. All in all, this Ye Yuan, you can’t touch him!”
Han Tianyu gave a cold snort and said, “If I insist on touching? Could it be that your Leng Family is going to go to war with my Han Family?”
Leng Hongxiu chuckled and said, “Go to war then, is my Leng Family scared of you? Although my elder brother has already passed on, don’t you forget that my Leng Family still has Leng Qiuling!”
Han Tianyu’s face changed, his expression ugly to the extreme.
The Leng family was originally already going downhill. But no one could have expected that in these recent 1000 years, the Leng Family actually produced Leng Qiuling, overpowering the other few major families in the imperial capital.
Leng Qiuling was currently the Thousand Soar Mansion’s treasure. Practically the best resources were piled onto her.
Han Tianyu’s son was much older than Leng Qiuling, but his current strength was also merely more or less the same as Leng Qiuling’s.
